As we laughed along the way, Nam introduced the situation of Green Water Village to me.
The dog-headed people were extremely weak in the Monster race. Even though there were many of them, they were basically bullied by the other Monster race no matter where they went. It was also because of this reason that their tribe was forced to settle at the edge of the desert, which was the Green Water Village that he mentioned.
There were close to a thousand dog-headed people in Green Water Village. The one with the highest cultivation was their chief, who was also the village chief of Green Water Village. He had a cultivation at the peak of the Monster Spirit realm.
After talking about the village chief, Nam proudly introduced himself. He said that he had the cultivation of a Monster Soldier when he was six years old and that he was only a step away from reaching the Monster Spirit realm. He was the youth with the highest cultivation in Green Water Village and was also the youth that the girls in the village liked the most.
I didn't pay attention to his boastful appearance and instead pondered about the 'Monster Soldier' and 'Monster Spirit' that he mentioned.
Even though I was heavily injured, I still had a strand of my spiritual sense left. I could easily find out that Nam was only at the Dragon Seeking realm and hadn't reached the Pressure Point Sealing realm.
Using this analogy, Monster Soldiers were equivalent to Dragon Seeking and Monster Spirits were Pressure Point Sealing.
Even though this name was different from the human race, the Monster race's body structure wasn't much different from the human race. Their realms and stages of cultivation were similar as well. It was just that the attributes of the Monster and Witch energies were different.
After understanding this problem, my heart calmed down a bit.
In Green Water Village, the strongest person was only the village chief at the peak of the Pressure Point Sealing realm. Even with my current broken body, a Pressure Point Sealing realm cultivator wouldn't be able to deal with me easily. At the very least, I shouldn't encounter any danger in Green Water Village.
After interacting with him for a short period of time, I had a general understanding of Nam's personality. He had a pure mind and wouldn't think too much. Thus, I had an idea. I asked him if he knew where the Monster realm and the human realm were connected, how far it was from here and if the Monster race could easily leave the Monster realm.
Even though I decided to stay here to recuperate, I still had to leave this place in the end. The earlier I understood the problem, the earlier I could come up with a plan.
After hearing my question, Nam's eyes widened. He asked me in shock, "You want to go to the human realm?"
He reacted quickly this time. However, he didn't wait for my reply and shook his head. "I heard from the village chief that the human race is extremely ugly and they feed on the Monster race.
A long time ago, many of the Demon Clan were killed by the Human Clan. We finally managed to wipe out the Human Clan, but who would have thought that there would be a change in the Demon Realm not long ago, and it would be connected to a place full of humans … We are all afraid of being conscripted to fight against the Human Clan, so why would you want to go? "
When I asked this question, I had already thought of a reason. Thus, I pretended to be hesitant and replied, "Because I heard … Master say that he wants to go to the human race's territory. I don't know where the human race's territory is, so I wanted to ask."
Hearing what I said, Nam's face was filled with disappointment. He pointed at me and shouted. "Why are you so stupid?
I said., Monster Nam's face, I's Village people's people's Monster race.
If you follow me back to Green Water Village, you won't be my servant anymore. You'll be my good brother in Green Water Village, Duo Ji! "
I nodded hesitantly and didn't continue to ask. It was obvious that Nam didn't know the answer. I could only see if I could find any clues after arriving at Green Water Village.
We continued to walk in the desert for more than two hours until dusk. Finally, we reached the Green Water Village that he had mentioned.
The village was really at the edge of the desert. However, the strange thing was that there wasn't a single grain of sand in the village. It was covered with vegetation. Even if there was a strong wind in the desert, it would stop at the border of Green Water Village. It was a mystical scene.
Looking at the lush greenery in front of me, I felt much better. I sat on the back of the dog and followed Nam through the dense forest. We arrived at a village.
It was dinner time. Green Water Village had smoke rising from the chimneys. It didn't look any different from a human village. I finally calmed down. I was worried that if the Monster race was a bloodthirsty bunch, my future days wouldn't be easy.
Nam saw that I was in a daze and patted the butt of the dog I was sitting on. He urged, "Let's hurry back. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to make it for dinner. You must be hungry, right?"
Following his words, the dog quickened its pace and started running. Nam also ran beside me. His speed didn't lag behind at all.
After walking for a short while, there were other villagers with different appearances that appeared on the village road. Nam seemed to be very familiar with them as he warmly greeted them along the way.
However, the strange thing was that when these people saw me, none of them asked him about my background. They only glanced at me a few times before looking away.
I asked Nam suspiciously. He waved his hand nonchalantly and told me that most of the villagers thought that I was an expert that he had invited back.
Without waiting for me to ask, he continued to tell me that he had left to look for a senior from the Sand Scorpion tribe that lived in seclusion in the desert. He wanted to get his guidance so that he could successfully raise his cultivation to the Monster rank.
Saying that, Nam's face showed some distress. He sighed and told me that it would be time for the entrance exam for Rock City's Saad Academy.
He was about to turn eighteen. If he couldn't reach the Monster rank before that, he wouldn't be able to be accepted into Saad Academy.
Nam's eyes were filled with desire and unwillingness. He continued to say, "It has been many years since anyone from Green Water Village got into Saad Academy. I'm the one with the most hope. If I can't get in, Uncle Qu Wang, the Village Chief, and my grandmother will be very disappointed."
Nam, who had always been happy, was obviously depressed. He didn't say anything and continued to walk forward with his dog. Very quickly, we arrived at his house.
Nam's house was very ordinary. There were three thatched cottages in a fenced courtyard. There was smoke coming from the back of the house.
Nam stood in front of the door and called out a few times. An old woman came out to open the door.
Previously, Nam had told me that he and his grandmother depended on each other since he was young. This should be his grandmother.
Seeing Nam return, his grandmother seemed very happy. She hastily asked him if he was injured outside.
After knowing that Nam was fine, his grandmother heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she shifted her gaze to me.
When she saw me, she praised me in surprise. "What a handsome young man."
I awkwardly turned my head to look at Nam. I recalled what he had said before. It was obvious that this guy's sense of beauty was passed down from his grandmother.
After praising me, his grandmother asked about my identity. Nam carefully explained what had happened today and the information he had gotten from me. Grandmother nodded and didn't ask anything. She enthusiastically brought us into the thatched cottage.
The furnishings in the thatched cottage were simple. There was a square table and a few wooden stools. In the middle, there was a steaming hot piece of boiled meat. It looked crude and simple, but it was cooked. Moreover, my body was injured and my stamina was severely depleted. A large amount of meat was the best way to replenish my stamina.
After we finished dinner, his grandmother arranged a room for me to stay in. From start to finish, she didn't question my identity. It seemed that Nam's warm personality was also inherited from his grandmother.
The Monster race obviously lacked cloth and other items. This could be seen from their clothes. Thus, in the thatched cottage that my grandmother arranged for me, there was only straw on the bed and no bedding.
In such an environment, I naturally didn't have any room to be picky. Very quickly, I laid on the bed to rest.
Not long after I laid down, Nam, who had just left, knocked on the door and came in. He held a bottle of black substance in his hand. He said that it was a miraculous medicine for treating external injuries. After applying it on the injured area, it would be healed the next day. He had specially brought it for me to use.
Since Nam was so warm hearted, I naturally couldn't reject him. I allowed him to apply the black ointment on my injured area. Not long after, I felt a refreshing and numbing sensation. The pain had also dissipated by a lot.
This ointment didn't look very good and even had a slight stench. However, its effects were quite good. Even among the human race, it was a rare medicine.
I opened my mouth to ask what this ointment was. Nam whispered to me, "It's called black mud ointment. Uncle Qu Wang and I picked it up a few months ago while hunting in the dense forest outside the village.
I've seen it in the Thadd Academy's selection. I heard that this ointment is very precious and can't be bought with money.
Uncle Qu Wang knows that I often get injured during cultivation, so he gave it to me. "
I had asked Nam about this Uncle Qu Wang when we were eating. He was the captain of the Green Water Village's hunting team. His cultivation was the same as the village chief, at the peak of the Monster race. All the children in the village, including Nam, had trained with him since they were young.
From Green Water Village's situation and Nam's cultivation, this black mud ointment was indeed very precious to them. For Nam to take it out for me to use, it meant that he really treated me as a good brother.
I was slightly moved, but Nam didn't seem to care. After telling me to rest well, he went to the courtyard to meditate and cultivate.
According to him, the Thadd Academy's selection was less than a few months away. This time, he didn't have the opportunity to meet the Sand Scorpion race's ancestor, so he could only work hard and strive to advance to the Monster rank before the selection.
