The Speedrun Begins with Choosing Hunter

Chapter 437: Chapter 410: Golden Crow

Bai Yuan focused, sensing the changes in the Barbarian Body Refining Technique.

The deeper his understanding of the Body Refining Technique grew, the more he understood why so few in Xuan Yang were willing to practice this cultivation technique.

It was too slow!

Compared to the martial arts of the Three Teachings, the Body Refining Technique seemed far too clumsy and primitive.

This was both a strength and a weakness.

Much like a pure Horizontal Martial Artist, breaking through to the next realm was extremely difficult, but once a breakthrough was achieved, their combat power became immense.

Because of this, although the Barbarian People had many experts, their total number of powerful individuals was far less than Xuan Yang’s. The Demon Sect had to rally the forces of both the Barbarian People and the Demon Race just to contend with Xuan Yang.

However, this drawback was no issue for Bai Yuan.

As long as he had enough enhancement points, he was confident he could cultivate the Barbarian Body Refining Technique to Great Perfection. Once he mastered it, the boost to his combat power would be enormous.

Therefore, the most urgent task now was to obtain enough enhancement points...

Bai Yuan glanced around.

Using his demon-seeking ability, he discovered several extremely powerful great demons approaching his position, including two Tier Eight Great Demons.

’Time to make a tactical retreat!’

He quickly made his decision.

With a flicker, his figure vanished.

The next second, several figures of varying heights appeared where Bai Yuan had just been.

A monster that looked neither like a deer nor a horse spoke in a human voice, "Barbarian People?"

"It seems so."

A shrill voice rang out. It was the Crow Spirit, Big Beard’s neighbor, who possessed a partial Golden Crow bloodline.

The great demon it spoke with was a Four-Unlike, or more accurately, a descendant of the divine beast, the Four-Unlike, just like him.

With two great demons present, the other demons remained obediently silent, terrified of displeasing the two and being swatted to death on the spot.

The Crow Spirit believed Barbarian People were responsible because of the unique aura of the Barbarian Body Refining Technique.

As everyone knew, only the Barbarian People in this world practiced body techniques.

The Four-Unlike suddenly spoke, "Do you think it could be that Profound Person?"

The other great demons had come here after sensing the fluctuations from a battle, but it and the Crow Spirit had come to track down the whereabouts of the Profound Person.

Although the two demons had never been to the south, they held the status of Honored Guests in the Demon Sect.

Since the Vice Tower Master of the Soul-Chasing Tower had made the request personally, they naturally had to show him some respect.

Besides, if they could find that Profound Person, they would also receive a handsome reward.

The Crow Spirit shook its head. "Not likely."

’A Profound Person who knows the Barbarian Body Refining Technique?’

’The very idea is absurd.’

They had already received information about that Profound human from the Vice Tower Master of the Soul-Chasing Tower. According to the intelligence, that person did not know the Barbarian Body Technique.

The Four-Unlike also felt it was unlikely and had no intention of staying any longer.

It was seen climbing upwards on its four hooves, simply walking away on the air.

Seeing this, the Crow Spirit also beat its wings and flew high into the sky.

Only the other few great demons were left behind, staring at each other in bewilderment.

...

「Barbarian Village.」

"Honorable Warrior, you’ve finally returned."

Gu Ta, who had been keeping watch at the village entrance, showed a look of delight upon seeing Bai Yuan’s return.

He had thought he would never see Bai Yuan again.

Bai Yuan nodded and walked straight back to his thatched hut.

As Gu Ta watched Bai Yuan return to his room, a sense of relief washed over him. ’It’s a good thing the old village chief insisted on cleaning this hut every day, or this would have been a problem.’

Not long after Bai Yuan returned to his hut, the old village chief rushed over, having heard the news.

Seeing Bai Yuan back in the village, the old village chief could hardly conceal his excitement.

Not long after Bai Yuan had left, a demon uprising had erupted nearby. A Barbarian village was razed to the ground by a rampaging great demon, and all the villagers had become its meal.

Such situations were common in the Northern Plains.

The Barbarian People fed on demons, and the Demon Race did the same to them.

Now that Bai Yuan had returned, if those great demons sensed his aura, they would surely be wary and not dare to cause trouble so easily.

This was why they were so overjoyed to see Bai Yuan.

He didn’t even need to take action; just by being in the village, all the villagers would benefit.

Bai Yuan looked at the old village chief. "Do you know of a Crow Spirit with black and gold feathers, and a deer-like spirit with the body of a horse?"

Although he hadn’t met the two great demons face-to-face, he had seen their appearances in advance through the Ten Thousand Demons Painting.

’A Golden Crow and a Four-Unlike... Cang Mang Mountain is truly a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Two Tier Eight Great Demons, both with the blood of divine beasts. Even for me, dealing with them would not be easy.’

Hearing Bai Yuan’s words, the old village chief was so frightened his legs began to tremble.

"Great Warrior, you’ve already seen them?"

Seeing the old village chief’s expression, Bai Yuan knew he had asked the right person.

"Tell me about them."

A look of fear still lingered on the old village chief’s face. "The Golden Crow and the Four-Unlike are infamous great demons on the Southern Slope of Cang Mang Mountain. Their methods are exceedingly cruel. They have incited several demon uprisings, and the number of Barbarian People they have devoured is at least ten thousand..."

Bai Yuan listened in silence.

Clearly, the two great demons had a fearsome reputation in Cang Mang Mountain.

This was within his expectations, however. The Golden Crow and the Four-Unlike were Tier Eight Great Demons; it would be difficult for them *not* to be famous.

"What is their strength like?"

A bitter smile appeared on the old village chief’s face. "Honorable Warrior, how could people like us possibly know the details about such great demons?"

The old village chief’s answer was also within his expectations.

Given the strength of this Barbarian Village, where the strongest was barely at the Power-Accessing realm, expecting them to know about Mingxin Grandmasters was indeed asking too much.

The old village chief seemed to recall something. "However, I heard from the previous Sacrificial Guardian that the two great demons were once suppressed by a powerful expert named Big Beard, which is why they aren’t as arrogant as they used to be."

Hearing the name "Big Beard," Bai Yuan’s interest was suddenly piqued.
