7 Chapter 5: The Arrival of New Life_1

Translator: 549690339

If this world is not a normal one, but is extraordinary… then everything seems to become explainable.

Why would there be a hundred-meter long Giant Python, why would there be strange and precious grasses that could enlighten beasts…

Extraordinary, extraordinary…

These two words suddenly weighed on his heart like a heavy burden.

This is actually what he least wanted to encounter.

After a long while.

He sighed softly.

No matter if this world is extraordinary or not, developing his own power is the most important.

Armed with adequate power, there would be no fear, he would be unstoppable.

Just as he was contemplating, an unprecedented wave of fatigue suddenly enveloped him like a tide, flooding every inch of Jiang Hui’s body in an instant.

The time was up, his 300 points of spiritual power had been completely depleted, leaving nothing behind.

Without the control of his spiritual power, the two Skeleton Pythons were quickly buried back into the ground by the mud and sand…

Jiang Hui also fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately.

Jiang Hui’s recovery ability was strong, regaining his 300 points of spiritual power in less than a day, so if his level became higher in the future, his recovery ability might become even more terrifying.

The following day, when the sun was high in the sky, Jiang Hui was as energetic as ever, with his spiritual power fully recharged.

The first thing he did upon awakening was to take a look at the man and woman in beast skin.

They both were still hiding in the tree hole, which was filled with dry straw to fend off the cold of deep winter.

Most of the large beasts around had already become prey to Little Black and ventured into its stomach as it was hibernation. Jiang Hui is not worried about any surprises happening to them as the only uncertain factor now is the chilling winter. However, by looking at their stable breathing, it seems that they managed to get through.

The harsh winter continued to dominate Heaven and Earth for several more months, with several heavy snowfalls occurring in the process. It finally receded unwillingly with the long-awaited arrival of spring…

After the start of spring, the snow melted, the streams ran like ribbons, crisscrossing and merging with each other, forming the ubiquitous running water within the deep mountains…

Between Heaven and Earth.

The temperature gradually started to rise.

The young man and woman in beast skin, who had been hiding in tree holes all winter, finally decided to come out.

Their stored salted meat had run out a few days earlier and there had been no game caught in the past two days, leading to several days of hunger.

Fortunately, they held out until the vibrant spring had arrived.

This day.

Within Jiang Hui’s line of sight, he suddenly noticed that the young woman’s belly had grown significantly larger.

The woman was pregnant. She appeared to be several months along and given the size of her stomach, it seemed like she might be carrying more than one child.

Jiang Hui was somewhat joyful.

The birth of a new life represented the first population increase in his territory.

Although the Beast Skin man and woman still lived thousands of miles away from him, Jiang Hui subconsciously considered them as the population of his territory.

With the arrival of spring, game became plentiful. The man’s hunting skills didn’t decline over the winter, but rather remained superb. Every day there were new gains, along with the woman’s meals becoming more abundant as a result.

They didn’t use salt to preserve the raw meat this time. Instead, the man, with unyielding perseverance, managed to create fire in front of the tree hole using primitive fire-drilling techniques.

Spring was different from winter, and the spring temperature wouldn’t reach the dry low temperature required to salt meat. If they used salt to preserve it, the meat would more likely go bad.

With the inclusion of meat in their diet, the woman’s body visibly became fuller, presenting a stark contrast to her previous gaunt appearance.

Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, several months had transpired.

By the time the second spring arrived, the offspring of the man and woman in beast skin had been born.

With the piercing cries of the newborn, this unknown mountain range met a few small natives.

Jiang Hui was surprised that the woman had given birth to three children at once, two boys and a girl, all of whom were healthy and quite large for newborns. It was a mystery where they obtained their nutrition to grow so well.

Unfortunately, after all this time, the man and woman in beast skin had not yet ventured far from their tree hole, preventing any opportunities for Jiang Hui’s ideas of imparting his skills onto them.

As for testing these two, it had already finished long ago.

If no one else appeared after all this time, then either they effectively had no enemies, or their enemies were not very powerful.

After all, the man and woman in beast skin could only be considered as slightly stronger than ordinary people. If they couldn’t even deal with ordinary people, their enemies clearly couldn’t be much stronger.

Since they were not great adversaries, Jiang Hui had nothing further to worry about.

Time passed swiftly, and in a blink of an eye, fifteen years had quietly passed.

The long stretch of time left indelible traces of aging on the faces of the man and woman in beast skin. The couple had already reached their thirties and their foreheads began to crease with wrinkles.

Over the past decade or so, the woman gave birth to another five children, four girls and one boy. Including the previous three triplets, there were now eight offspring.

The eldest was now fifteen years old. He was a strapping young lad, well-built and robust. As for the youngest, a baby girl at just one year old, was the most cherished.

To accommodate the growing family, they found a larger and more spacious tree hole nearby, made up of a dense, intertwined mass of roots.

To make it waterproof, the woman specifically layered large, unnamed leaves on top.

One day.

In front of the root hole.

A teenager was diligently sharpening his spear.

The teenager was the oldest son of the man and woman in beast skin. Named Lin Zhuang, as his name suggested, he was robust. Even though he was only fifteen, his strength was already similar to the man in beast skin. He was able to wrestle with beasts such as lions and tigers since a year ago.

“Son, remember not to go further ahead. That’s the depths of the Wilderness. There are terrifying Exotic Beasts, Ferocious Beasts in there. Even your father isn’t their match,” the woman in beast skin kept reminding the teenager.

Learning to hunt by oneself is a phase every man in the tribe has to go through.

The teenager had been able to do so several years earlier. The woman was merely reminding him out of habit.

“Rest easy, Mom. I’ll just take a look around nearby. I definitely won’t go deep into the Wilderness,” Lin Zhuang replied, holding his spear and strode off in a certain direction.

However, this time was different from the previous ones. After walking a certain distance, the teenager turned around abruptly and headed towards the depths of the Wilderness, where the woman in beast skin had forbidden him to go.

The calf doesn’t fear the tiger because of its ignorance.

He wanted to see for himself what lurked in the depths of that forest!

The teenager had great confidence in his strength. He can use traps to kill formidable beasts like lions and tigers, and even escape from more terrifying beasts if encountered.

This was a young man’s unique arrogance. A few reminders would not make them remember.
