412: Chapter 456 Uncle-Master, are you going down the path of evil cultivation?

An Ke stayed in the animals' Bamboo Village until after lunch before finally getting up to leave.

To be honest, the time spent in the Bamboo Village reminded An Ke of the days two months ago when he was still at the No. 1 small Camp.

Back then, although the Camp was small, life was simple and happy.

It was enough just to go out hunting and exploring every day.

All the animals lived simple, happy lives each day.

Now the Camp is bigger, there's more activity space, and there are more Camp members.

But An Ke can no longer be as carefree as before.

Ever since coming out of the second stage's Giant Forest, he has had to constantly improve himself.

Otherwise, there would be danger. After all, just because he doesn't plan to invade others doesn't mean others don't want to invade him.

He feared that many National Destiny Bearers were eyeing him covetously, the number one from the first stage.

Currently, the most troublesome opponent is A-san.

If he hadn't arrived in time back then, Three Hairs would probably have become a prisoner.

Once the week was up, Three Hairs would have been fused by the opponent using their ability.

Even having 500 points of hardness would be useless.

This time, when going to the Giant Forest, if possible, it would be best to eliminate that A-san's Cell.

Only the dead pose no threat.

An Ke left the Bamboo Village.

Aman very much wanted to follow, but due to the snow outside and the cold weather, it had no choice but to give up.

As a cold-blooded animal, even if it wore a woolen sweater, it couldn't stay warm.

Secondly, wearing a woolen sweater would render Aman immobile.

After all, it needs to move forward by wriggling its belly.

Seeing Aman's dejected look, An Ke laughed and said, "Don't lose heart. Wait until I figure out a way to solve your warmth problem, then you'll be able to go out in winter."

Hearing this, Aman was overjoyed, as long as it came from An Ke's mouth.

Then he would definitely be able to do it.

"Boss, when the time comes, this humble one will stick to your side all the time."

An Ke laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, alright!"

At first, An Ke didn't invest much genuine sincerity in this "bootlicker snake," Aman.

After all, strictly speaking, it was just a prisoner.

But now, An Ke quite liked this "bootlicker snake."

Thinking of this, An Ke remembered something. "Oh, right!"

"If you want to eat roasted snake, you can take it out yourself from the [Portable Space]."

Now the [Portable Space] is placed in a fixed slot, and both the wildlings and animals can use it at any time.

Hearing this, Aman's eyes immediately lit up, and it excitedly wriggled its entire body.

"Boss, this humble one knew you were the best to me."

"After hibernating for a few days, I dreamed of eating roasted snake every single moment."

Around them, Tiger Mom, Leopard Mom, the crocodile couple, and other animals were already used to it.

This guy Aman just loved eating its own kind.

But the Blazing Fire Bear outside the Bamboo Village didn't know that yet.

Hearing Aman's excitement about eating its own kind, it couldn't help but widen its eyes.

"Grand... Grandmaster, is this martial uncle an evil cultivator?"

Because the Blazing Fire Bear was too large, it couldn't enter the Bamboo Village and could only stand outside the window looking in.

Evil cultivator?

Aman was utterly confused. What nonsense was this?

And who was lying?

It instinctively turned its head and was startled by a huge eye outside the window.

"B-b-boss, what's the deal with this giant bear?"

Aman's body was seventeen or eighteen meters long, and after molting, it might become even longer.

But it believed this giant bear before it could eat it like a spicy strip.

Too terrifying.

Before An Ke could speak, Three Hairs immediately jumped out and said, "It's a disciple I, Little Mouse, took on!!"

As it spoke, Three Hairs even puffed out its chest proudly, hands on hips.

Aman looked at the tiny Three Hairs, then at the giant bear outside the window.

Three Hairs took on a giant bear, tens of thousands of times its size, as a disciple?

Are you kidding?

However, unexpectedly, the Blazing Fire Bear chuckled and said, "Master is right."

Aman was completely dumbfounded.

It had only hibernated for a few days, right?

How did Three Hairs suddenly gain a disciple? And such an exaggeratedly huge one at that.

Aman felt admiration for Three Hairs in its heart.

At that moment, it heard the Blazing Fire Bear continue:

"Martial Uncle, although your seniority is high, I still want to advise you to turn back from the brink."

"Practicing evil cultivation is not good. Don't eat your own kind for cultivation."

Aman was full of question marks. It silently looked at An Ke.

An Ke shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

He could only say to the Blazing Fire Bear, "Grand-disciple, your martial uncle Aman is not practicing evil cultivation."

"This is a righteous path approved by me. Understood?"

Aman: ???

It looked at An Ke in disbelief.

What did the boss just call that giant bear?

Grand-disciple?

What's going on?

How did the style change so much after just one sleep?

...

Soon, An Ke left the Bamboo Village.

Little Scar followed behind him, and Three Hairs sat on his shoulder.

The other animals either couldn't stand the cold weather, like Aman,

or needed to recuperate from injuries in the Bamboo Village.

Take Kong, for example. Its feet and wings had fractures of varying degrees and needed some time to rest and recover.

"The team is lacking a support!" An Ke muttered as he walked.

Three Hairs is a tank.

Kong, Little Scar, Old Crocodile—these all have offensive supernatural abilities.

They are severely lacking in healing-type animals.

He also didn't know what Tiger Mom's gained 20 points of divine nature could do in one day...

"Chief, what did you say?"

Beside him, Little Scar couldn't help but ask.

She didn't understand what An Ke meant by lacking support.

An Ke turned his head and saw she was now wearing a golden robe.

Even so, it still accentuated her curvaceous figure.

An Ke smiled. "It's nothing."

"Let's go! We'll go to the 'Textile Factory' first."

"I wonder if Ghost Face and the others have finished setting up the Locust Breeding Farm."

An Ke planned to handle all the matters in the Camp before entering the Giant Forest.

After all, he might not return for several days.

And in his absence, he needed to ensure the Camp could operate normally.

Because of the harsh winter, the difficulty of obtaining food had increased.

So, An Ke planned to use the Locusts from last night's Beast Attack as feed for livestock like the Velociraptors.

This was natural protein.

Of course! The animals and wildlings could also eat them occasionally. After all, in the old era, there were even deep-fried Locust skewers.

Locusts are edible to begin with.

Soon, An Ke arrived once again in front of the "Textile Factory."

Layer upon layer of spider silk constructed this "Textile Factory."

It was like a giant bird's nest lying in the Bamboo Forest.

As soon as An Ke walked in, the Golden Silk Spiders immediately sensed it.

Countless pairs of eyes instantly turned to look at him in unison.

Imagine what it feels like to have over a hundred spiders with eight eyes each all staring at you.

It would absolutely terrify anyone with trypophobia into fainting.

But for the current An Ke, he was already used to it.

In the past, he was indeed afraid of creatures like spiders and snakes.

But now he wasn't afraid at all.

Actually, it wasn't just him; the Dragon Country Masses watching the livestream felt the same.

Aman and Ghost Face and the others had cured the masses' phobia of snakes and spiders...
