I Have A Martial Arts Panel

Chapter 114 - Gray

Chapter 114: Gray

Xu Ning felt like he was in big trouble.

But it seemed like this kitten, who was suspected of being a void realm demon beast, did not seem to be malicious.

But he wasn’t sure. At any moment, this little guy could just suddenly attack and swallow him.

Even though he was invincible among mortal realm martial artists, he could not compare to this suspected void realm demon beast.

One man, one kitten, they looked at each other like this.

‘I better get rid of it.’

Xu Ning wanted to try getting rid of it.

He carefully took the kitten out of his pockets and grabbed it with both hands.

Then, he gently placed it on the ground.

The kitten did not resist.

Xu Ning felt relieved and turned around to move.

But after taking two steps, Xu Ning felt something on his shoulders again.

Xu Ning had concluded that the kitten was becoming attached to him.

“You, are you going to follow me?”

Xu Ning tilted his head slightly and tried to communicate with the kitten.

Generally speaking, the intelligence of void realm demon beasts was almost comparable to that of human beings.

But he didn’t know if this kitten was naturally small, or was only born recently.

If it was the latter, it would have never been in contact with humans and it certainly couldn’t understand Xu Ning’s words.

“Purr.”

There was a sound from the cat’s throat, not a meow.

It kept rubbing Xu Ning’s ears with its furry face.

‘It seems to understand what I’m saying.’

Seeing this, Xu Ning started to understand.

It was a good thing to be able to communicate.

“Then I’ll take you with me.”

Xu Ning was overwhelmed.

In fact, he really didn’t have the courage to disobey this monster that he suspected of being in the void realm.

As a result, Xu Ning stuffed it into his pockets again and rushed to the camp where he was temporarily stationed.

…

A few days went by.

At the camp accommodation.

After the entire hunting team had been working for a whole day, the sky was getting dark.

The hunters dragged their exhausted and even wounded bodies to rest in the camp.

However, although physically exhausted, everyone’s mental state was good.

This was because compared to Feng Haoqi’s hunting team, their quantity and quality of the demon beasts they had captured were obviously superior.

The hunting team sat together in groups by the bonfire, grilling meats on the wooden fire rack.

Xu Ning and Auntie Wei sat opposite each other. A greasy deer leg was roasting on the wooden frame between them.

Both of them were the leaders of the hunting team, but Auntie Wei took care of the internal affairs.

“Leader Xu, I’m really jealous of you. You are young and talented. You might even become a disciple of the Yuelan Faction in the future.”

Auntie Wei tore a piece of meat and handed it to Xu Ning. “As for us, our talent has basically dried up, even if we receive more resources, we can only rely on luck to improve further.”

Over the past few days, Xu Ning’s success rate in capturing high level demon beasts was 100%.

As long as Xu Ning found a demon beast, he would definitely be able to capture it.

The difficulty of capturing a live monster was much harder than directly killing it.

“Life works in mysterious ways.” Xu Ning’s mouth was covered in grease. “If Miss San successfully takes over as the family head and gives you the void realm secret scroll, you will soon be able to successfully practice it and become a void realm martial artist.”

Auntie Wei smiled.

In fact, Auntie Wei gave up on pursuing martial arts a long time ago.

What she was doing now was more for her family.

After some chatting by the bonfire, the large deer leg was eaten cleanly by the two.

There were some scraps left, so Auntie Wei just cut it up, wrapped it in a leaf, and handed it to Xu Ning.

“Give it to your kitten.”

A few days ago, Auntie Wei had heard that Xu Ning had brought a kitten back to the camp.

“Thanks.”

Xu Ning hesitated for a moment before taking it.

Afterwards, Xu Ning went back to his tent.

In the hunting team camp, only Xu Ning and Auntie Wei had their own tents.

Xu Ning’s tent was spacious. It was comparable to a small room.

As soon as Xu Ning went in, he saw the kitten curling up on his bed.

“Grey.”

Xu Ning called out.

Over the past few days, Xu Ning had gotten close to this kitten.

Xu Ning discovered that this little guy didn’t wish to hurt him. Even if he accidentally stepped on it, it would only lick its fur without getting angry.

As the relationship got closer, Xu Ning named it Grey.

This was a reflection of its fur color.

After seeing Xu Ning come in, Grey looked up at Xu Ning, walked out of the bed, and rubbed against Xu Ning’s foot.

“Do you want to eat this?”

Xu Ning routinely asked.

He knew that there was a high probability that Grey would ignore him.

Sure enough, as Xu Ning expected, Grey was not interested in the roasted meat.

Ever since Xu Ning took Grey in, Grey never took the initiative to eat food, but every two days, it would go outside for a short period before returning quietly and staying by his side.

Xu Ning guessed that it went outside to hunt for food.

After a few days of getting along with each other, Xu Ning had gotten used to Grey being around him.

Xu Ning began to feel a hint of joy.

Although he still couldn’t make Grey follow his instructions, it would definitely be a good thing to have a void realm demon beast around him.

…

Late at night.

Feng Haoqi’s hunting team camp.

Inside a large tent, two people talked under the dim lights.

“What do we do? If this continues, when the one-month period ends, we will definitely not be able to compete against Miss San’s people!”

The one talking was a big bearded man, and he looked worried.

Opposite him was a feminine middle-aged man with a kind expression.

Both of them were Feng Haoqi’s right-hand men, and both were martial artists in the spirit realm.

“Actually…”

On the feminine man’s face, there was a look of worry. “They are indeed very lucky. They ran into so many high level demon beasts, and their capture rate is also so high.”

“What do we do? If we lose, even if Fourth Young Master becomes the head of the family in the future, we won’t receive any benefits. We might even end up in an unfavorable position.”

The bearded man said.

“We have to think of a way…”

The feminine man began to think.

“I heard that the reason why they could capture so many high level demon beasts is because they have a leader named Xu Ning, who is very good at dealing with monsters, and Auntie Wei. That woman also has a lot of techniques. If we…”

There was a fierce look in the bearded man’s eyes.

“That’s impractical.”

The feminine man sneered at the bearded man. “With our strength, how can we be sure that we can beat them?”

“Furthermore, if we really do that, we will definitely get into big trouble. This is something that Family Head Feng pays attention to. If we use this method to gain the advantage, we will inevitably be in trouble afterwards.”

The words of the feminine man made the bearded man speechless.

“Then, what should we do? Just sit and wait to die?”

The buff man asked anxiously.

The feminine man thought for a moment, when a hint of insidiousness suddenly appeared on his face.

“We can’t just sit and wait to die.” The feminine man said, “Although we can’t directly harm them, we can do it indirectly.”

“Indirectly?”

The bearded man was taken aback.

“When I went deep into the mountain a few days ago, I found a semi void realm demon beast waiting to give birth.”

The feminine man said.

“Semi void realm?”

The bearded man raised his eyebrows.

The so-called semi void realm demon beasts were mortal realm demon beasts that had not completely transformed into a void realm demon beast just yet.

Demon beasts were different from human warriors.

There was no concept of semi void realm among human warriors.

Breaking through the void realm was essentially breaking through the barrier of a martial arts system.

One would either break through or fail. This was a binary classification.

But for a mortal realm demon beast transforming into a void realm demon beast, the difference between the two realms was more muddy.

Some of the demon beasts in the mortal realm had already stepped into the mud, but couldn’t crawl out of the mud. Those who were stuck in between the void realm and the mortal realm were called semi void realm monsters.

The destructive power of a semi void realm realm demon beast was unmatched even by a spirit realm warrior.

“We only need to secretly buy out their teammates to lure Xu Ning and Auntie Wei into the territory of the semi void realm demon beast.”

“Demon beasts that are just about to give birth are very cruel to outsiders who break into their territory.”

The feminine man smiled. “With its strength, it can easily get rid of Xu Ning and Auntie Wei.”

…

The next day.

Most people in the hunting team had already gone out.

Xu Ning and Auntie Wei were still in the camp.

Except for occasionally going deep into the mountains, they mostly stayed and waited for feedback from the hunters.

“Leader Wei, Leader Xu!”

A member of the hunting team came over. “The hunting team said that a wounded peak level mortal realm demon beast has been found!”

“Are you sure?”

Auntie Wei and Xu Ning asked at the same time.

It was difficult to capture a peak level mortal realm demon beast.

But if the peak level demon beast was injured, it would be much easier to capture it.

If this was true, this would be a rare opportunity.

Their hunting team was already in the lead. If they could catch a live peak level demon beast, they could just declare victory in advance.

“We are sure!”

The hunting team was very excited. “The peak level mortal realm demon beast is located five miles north from the first high level demon beast we captured!”

“Leader Xu…”

Auntie Wei looked at Xu Ning. “This is a rare opportunity. Let’s go together and try to take down this peak level demon beast.”

“Okay.”

Xu Ning responded immediately.

However, Xu Ning did not leave immediately. He first returned to the tent and petted Grey.

Xu Ning didn’t plan to bring Grey along, as he was afraid that Grey would eat the peak level demon beast.

If that happened, they would be in big trouble.

Xu Ning and Auntie Wei went to the place where the demon beast was located based on the information reported.

They were in a valley between mountains. When Xu Ning and Auntie Wei arrived, members of the hunting team were already waiting on the hillside.

“Who discovered this wounded peak level mortal realm demon beast first?”

Auntie Wei asked the members of the hunting team.

“It was discovered by Wu Liu.”

A hunting team member said, “He said that he was on the mountainside and saw a demon beast covered in scales. The monster had a strong aura, and it is likely a peak level mortal realm beast.”

“Wu Liu thought that he was going to die. But the peak level demon beast suddenly let go of Wu Liu and went to the valley below. It was also at this time that Wu Liu discovered that the monster was actually injured.”

“Wu Liu quickly told us the news. He told us to stay here before he went to report the news.”

Auntie Wei and Xu Ning did not have any doubts about this explanation.

“What about Wu Liu?”

Auntie Wei asked.

“He went back to report the news, but he hasn’t come back yet.”

Auntie Wei nodded.

She and Xu Ning were much faster. They had already arrived here before the person reporting the news could return.

“Leader Xu, let’s go down and have a look.”

Auntie Wei was intrigued.

“Okay.”

Xu Ning was also quite cooperative.

The two followed the hillside and arrived at the valley.

The environment was wet and muddy in the valley.

“Look at this footprint.”

Auntie Wei saw that there was a huge footprint in the mud.

“Wu Liu’s information should be reliable. Following this footprint, we should be able to find the injured demon beast.”

Auntie Wei seemed rather anxious.

She walked together with Xu Ning, looking for the demon beast by following along the footprints.

“What?”

However, after taking a few steps, Xu Ning suddenly stopped.

Auntie Wei noticed Xu Ning’s strange behavior. “What’s wrong?”

“Auntie Wei…”

Xu Ning looked back and said, “Someone’s there.”

“Someone?”

Auntie Wei was taken aback for a moment, then followed Xu Ning’s gaze.

She saw that where Xu Ning was looking, there were rocks covered in dense vines.

“Let’s go and have a look!”

Xu Ning moved. He used his Step Cloud Wave and quickly rushed over.

Auntie Wei also followed him.

‘Xu Ning has sensed people behind the rocks!’

“Sh*t! He noticed us!”

Xu Ning’s guess was correct. The bearded man and the feminine man were behind the rocks.

The two of them were hiding here to confirm that Xu Ning and Auntie Wei would take the bait and be torn to pieces by the semi void realm demon beast.

However, just when everything went according to their expectations, Xu Ning noticed them.

All of their plans were now ruined.

“Run! Don’t fight him!”

The feminine man said, “If we are caught, this matter will inevitably be exposed, then the two of us will be in big trouble.”

“Okay!”

Although the bearded man felt that it was unfortunate, he listened to the words of the feminine man and the two fled quickly up the hillside.

“Want to escape?”

Xu Ning took out the short knife and threw it at the two of them instantly.

The short knife was wrapped in tearing force. It quickly sliced the hamstrings of the bearded man.

In an instant, he stumbled, screamed, and fell down.

After seeing this, the feminine man had no choice but to stop and drag the bearded man.

Soon after, Xu Ning and Auntie Wei caught up to them.

“You two!”

Auntie Wei recognized the two.
