"Stop!"

Bao Dachun roared, his figure flickering like a ghost, quickly giving chase.

But in the next moment, a sword light fiercely attacked, forcing Bao Dachun back. It was that Human Race cultivator who had no choice but to act, thus revealing their position.

In an instant, all the demons in the cave became furious, howling and shouting "Human, Human," before recklessly charging forward.

The younger Human Race cultivator was obviously trembling with fright, but the senior one remained calm, quickly casting more than a dozen talismans. In the air, these transformed into thunder, flames, ice, vines, earthen walls, and poisonous fog, blocking the demons. With one hand, he formed a sword technique, controlling a sword as fluid as water, slashing left and right, thrusting up and down.

The sword Qi was like a rosy glow, and the sword's sound was like the wind, actually suppressing twenty to thirty demons from advancing.

Any foolishly brave demon that dared to show up was instantly sliced into several pieces by the sword light, like cutting through tofu.

As for Bao Dachun and Gui Buli, knowing the sharpness of the sword edge, one chose to flank, while the other raised its head and neighed, transforming into a turtle as large as a three-story building, retracting its head and rolling over.

"Everyone move aside, let the Turtle Alliance Leader break through this sword light!"

The demons shouted in unison.

At this moment, the senior Human Race cultivator seemed anxious, quickly drawing a golden talisman and tossing it into the air, shouting a command.

"Freeze!"

In an instant, Gui Buli's turtle shell was immobilized. Subsequently, he pulled his junior cultivator, threw two more talismans, which transformed into a thick smoke spanning several yards, and disappeared from the spot.

"Stop! Stop!"

Bao Dachun rushed forward, his claws sweeping like a rampaging storm, yet he couldn't touch their sleeves again.

After a dozen seconds or so, when Gui Buli recovered from the frozen state and attempted to repeat his technique to reveal them, it was already too late.

Of course, Wang Wu, who had been observing from the sidelines, also retreated promptly.

He wasn't sure if the clear water inside Gui Buli's turtle shell could reveal his Level 10 Passive Concealment state, but he had to be prepared.

This time, he was merely a passerby, but gained a lot, gaining some understanding of the characteristics of the battles between Human Race cultivators and the Demon Race.

Then, he made comparisons, putting himself into their shoes, to evaluate his strengths and weaknesses.

This point is very important.

Because Wang Wu's environment is different.

First, he doesn't have a powerful protector; Bear Mother is gone. He can't cultivate and develop under normal conditions. He must first ensure he can survive.

Everything is aimed primarily at this goal.

So, in the past year, he's been hiding and running, associating with Little Demons, being cautious and timid, and sneaking around.

Increasing attributes means prioritizing Defense and Life, constantly enhancing Negative Resistance, all to ensure basic survival.

Now, after so much time keeping a low profile, hiding and developing, he can at least survive under Hei Youliang's hand, which is the biggest proof, though Hei Youliang was already severely injured and weakened.

But comparatively, being able to compete evenly with an Eighth-Grade Demon isn't an exaggeration.

Wang Wu retreated from this crevice, finding a place to lie low and carefully recalling the weighty learning materials he had just gathered.

"This learning material can be divided into two parts."

"The first part's main lecturers are Bao Dachun and the Cow Demon."

"The second part's main lecturers are the group of demons and the Human Race senior."

"The first part is relatively simple. The Cow Demon claims to be the Yellow Ox Captain under the South Mountain King's command, and must at least be an Eighth-Grade Demon. Its advantage lies in its great power, with defense as hard as iron, suitable for frontal charges, yet unfortunately has a weak point in the back, this is how Bao Dachun managed to subdue it with one move."

"So, if I were to face Bao Dachun, this guy's speed would be ghostly, probably even more formidable than the Big Mountain Cat, at least a Marshal-level demon."

"My strategy would be not to provoke it first. Even if I did provoke it, I would try to hide first, and if cornered, I'd hit it with a Frozen Immobilization technique. If there were no allies around it, I'd finish it off while I could; if there were, I'd take the chance to get away, retreating a distance, then immediately entering Level 10 Passive Concealment."

"In short, avoid direct confrontation."

"And through this lesson, I understood the importance of team cooperation. If there's absolutely no team to assist, then I must compensate for my shortcomings."

After Wang Wu carefully summarized, he focused on analyzing the second part.

"That Human Race senior can be called an all-rounder, with diverse methods, numerous magical artifacts, plenty of talismans, and rich experience. They may not represent the top or second-tier among Human Race cultivators, but they represent a broad middle and lower tier of Human Race cultivators. This means if I encounter Human Race cultivators in the future, the best approach is to see them as all-terrain, all-condition, all-mode perception, all-firepower super turrets..."

"In a one-on-one situation, unless the Demon Race can overwhelm in realm or carry out a surprise attack, otherwise the result would be getting beaten swiftly."

"Caution is key, as carelessness might lead not just to losing points, but losing one's life."

Wang Wu recalled how the Human Race senior threw more than a dozen talismans of various types in an instant, it truly was a sight to behold, leaving him with no choice but to be amazed.

For him, this was temporarily unsolvable.

In the future, he might be able to resist by increasing various resistances, such as thunder resistance...

Wang Wu remembered that the Human Race Senior Brother merely threw out a single Thunder Attribute Talisman, and it unexpectedly hit twenty to thirty demons, including Bao Dachun, with jumping arcs, causing them to shiver collectively for three seconds. The scene was both hilarious and infuriating.

No exceptions.

Three seconds of control can accomplish a lot.

But increasing thunder resistance should be quite difficult.

"But the damage from the thunder seems bearable. The truly terrifying thing is actually the longsword in his hand. That should be considered a magical artifact. How sharp it is, in just a dozen seconds, it could kill five Ninth-Grade Demons in a row and seriously injure eleven. Without Gui Buli's turtle shell, even Bao Dachun wouldn't have been able to charge through."

"If I encountered it, I'm afraid I could only last a few more seconds before being slain. I couldn't even escape; Bao Dachun's speed was forced to retreat."

"So, the teachers are using their lives to tell us that increasing Life Value and Basic Defense is the most correct thing to do at present."

"Alas, I always feel that Human Race cultivators are all cheaters!"

Wang Wu finally lamented helplessly.

And since he wasn't a cheater, he had no choice but to be busy all night.

The original plan to hunt the Black Spider Priest was dead on arrival. As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, he couldn't afford to provoke it, nor did he want to, because if his assumption was correct, this Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance was either established by the remnants of the West River Water Race, awaiting the return of their Young Master Hei Youliang as a king.

Or, there was another force watching covetously, fishing in troubled waters, with a direct aim at the alliance of the three Great Demons on the east shore.

In short, the waters are deep. In a few years, there might be a big war between the east and west shores, unrelated to the Human Race cultivators.

So, what could Wang Wu do besides cursing his bad luck?

Could he want to get involved in this war, could he retreat unscathed or take advantage of the situation to rise up and become a king of his own?

And would becoming a king mean living in comfort?

It's important to know that hundreds of miles away, the Human Race is currently expanding into the West Wilderness. Even now, there are Human Race cultivators with high skills and great courage venturing deep into the heart of the West Wilderness, freely gathering resources and coming and going with ease. The future will only be worse.

What to do then?

To tell those Human Race cultivators that he's actually a bear in human skin, that they're family?

Don't be ridiculous.

There would be only one result: borrowing your bear head for a while.

So, the best strategy is to be a bystander, always ready to grease the soles and flee.

The night passed quickly, and Wang Wu first went to the riverbank to deliver some warmth before slipping back to the hill occupied by Devil Vines, taking advantage of the darkness before dawn.

Because after thinking it over, this place is still the safest and most suitable for his hiding place.

At this moment, Wang Wu cleverly avoided the ground spike traps in the forest and familiarly returned to the top of the hill. He was preparing to go to yesterday's toxin core area to grind a wave of Paralysis Poison Resistance.

Last night, as he wandered outside, he caught many Little Demons, maintaining his Satiety at the full value of 750 points, which was just right.

However, when Wang Wu cautiously arrived at the top of the hill, he couldn't help but curse his bad luck again, as a wall of invisible air + mosaic appeared on the hill again.

Based on yesterday's experience, this clearly indicated that the two Human Race cultivators had returned here as their camping site.

Truly, great minds think alike.

Helplessly, Wang Wu could only slowly retreat fifty meters. Who could blame him for avoiding trouble?

In addition, the Human Race Senior Brother probably already discovered that the Array Stone was missing, so this time they chose a different location for their campsite. And their original position might have been left with traps, waiting for him to take the bait.

Bah, those black-hearted, rotten-souled, pus-leaking scoundrels!

After a round of internal complaints, Wang Wu then lay low and quickly entered dreamland. A good rest is very necessary, with immediate effects on promoting physical growth.

For example, with the same Satiety, if Wang Wu doesn't sleep and instead stays up all night, the growth he gains is reduced by half. Especially after each big battle, when the Healing Talent is overactivated and the whole body is weak, there is basically no growth.

Speaking of which, his current Conventional Growth Level has reached 92.7%, and he is about to enter the third growth stage.

In terms of his body, his body length is already approaching one meter. The height is difficult to measure, but it is at least around fifty centimeters. When he stands upright, he already has a bit of the impressive demeanor of an enraged Wild Bear.

Besides, his Special Growth Level has also reached 55%, and his Bloodline Evolution Level has reached 22%.

Especially the latter, which is very important. It is the source of all his power, the core of his growth and evolution.

Wang Wu has a premonition that this time he doesn't need to increase the Special Growth Level to 80%. Just improving it by 5% will definitely trigger the extraction of Negative Resistance, transforming it into a Branch Bloodline Talent.
