After the Jackal tribe left, I quickly went to check on Nam's injuries.
Luckily, he only suffered some internal injuries and his meridians weren't damaged.
On the other side, the village chief had already recovered quite a bit. He stood up from the ground and looked at the tragic scene around him. He sighed and didn't say anything else. He just told everyone to go home and rest.
After the other dog-headed men left, the village chief brought Nam and me back home.
After returning, he didn't care about his injuries and examined Namu thoroughly. He also took out some medicine for Namu to consume before asking me to bring him back.
Before he left, the village chief patted Nam's head and told him that the pill to increase his cultivation would be ready in two days. He told Nam to use these two days to recover from his injuries so that it wouldn't affect his absorption of the pill.
Even though we had experienced so many things today, the village chief had obviously tossed all the honor and humiliation to one side as he waited for Nam to grow.
When Nam and I returned home, we were surprised to see six identical jars of mud at the entrance.
I didn't know what they were for, but after Nam saw them, a smile flashed across his originally painful face. He seemed to be very proud of himself.
Just as I wanted to ask, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open. Grandmother stretched her body out and behind her were six well-dressed dog-headed women.
I was stunned for a moment before I reacted. They should be the women that Nam had tricked. When Nam and I went to the village chief's house, they had found their way here.
Seeing that Nam was injured, grandmother couldn't help but ask about it. However, after knowing that it was the dog-headed man, she only sighed and didn't say anything.
After dinner, after a tiring day, we went to sleep early.
Since there were six women in the house, Nam and I had to squeeze into one bed.
After Nam fell asleep, I sat cross-legged and prepared to meditate for a while.
Using the talisman today had consumed quite a bit of my energy. I had originally planned to cultivate and replenish the energy in my body. However, due to the thin spiritual power in the Monster region, I hadn't replenished my energy even after cultivating for a long time.
While I was annoyed, I suddenly had an idea.
The spiritual power in the Monster region was thin, but the Ancient Savage Energy was abundant.
I had the Monster Emperor's bloodline, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to cultivate Monster energy.
With that in mind, I tried to breathe in the Savage Desolate Ancient Aura. After a while, the two acupuncture points in my body that had recovered emitted monstrous energy.
I was overjoyed and continued to cultivate. After fifteen minutes, due to the abnormally abundant Ancient Desolate energy, the demonic energy in the two acupoints had surged to the extreme. Without my control, the demonic energy directly charged towards the other acupoints that hadn't recovered yet.
Just now, after testing that I could indeed absorb the monstrous aura, I also thought of using the surging monstrous aura to sort out my broken meridians. However, I still had some misgivings in my heart. After all, my understanding of monstrous aura wasn't enough. If I made any careless mistakes, it was highly possible that I would suffer even more injuries.
However, the monster energy automatically attacked the other acupuncture points, and I couldn't stop it. I could only wait anxiously for the result.
Soon, the monstrous energy reached my acupuncture points that hadn't recovered yet. I felt a surge of energy coming from my acupuncture points. My heart thumped.
In essence, the recovery of acupoints was a healing process. It should produce a cool and comfortable feeling. Now, the acupoints felt like they were on fire. It was very likely that the acupoints were injured again.
Just as I was about to forcefully stop the monstrous aura from entering my body, my body suddenly shivered. I found that my acupuncture points were automatically absorbing the surrounding Ancient Desolate energy.
I was stunned.
Being able to absorb and cultivate meant that the acupoints had recovered. Moreover, as the Ancient Desolate energy surged into my acupoints, the surge of energy gradually disappeared. On the contrary, the other acupoints that had been attacked felt a surge of energy.
Not long after, three more acupoints recovered due to the impact of the monstrous aura. At the same time, they started to absorb the Ancient Desolate energy.
After all six acupoints were filled with monstrous aura, I carefully sensed that I had already entered the Sealing Acupoint realm, which was the Monster race's Monster Spirit realm.
It seemed unbelievable that I had instantly reached the Monster Spirit realm from the Monster Soldier realm. However, in reality, there were more than ten acupoints in each of the eight meridians. Now that six acupoints had recovered, it was equivalent to half of the meridians operating. With my original cultivation, it was normal for me to recover half of the meridians and reach the Sealing Acupoint realm.
I was pleasantly surprised. Previously, I couldn't move my acupoints for a long time due to the impact of the Daoist and Witch energy. However, now that I could absorb the Ancient Desolate energy, my recovery speed would undoubtedly be much faster.
Of course, this was only in comparison to my previous speed. In reality, I would need at least a few years before I could fully recover.
I naturally didn't want to stay in the Monster race for a few years. If there was a chance, I would have to search for high grade Beast Dans to speed up the recovery process.
The night passed without any words. When Nam woke up on the second day, his body had recovered quite a bit. His spirit was also much stronger than the previous day. It seemed that the medicine that the village chief gave him had taken effect.
After I woke up, Nam told me about yesterday's events. He asked me, "Duo Ji, did you think that yesterday's events were strange?"
I shook my head. "How was it strange?"
Nam continued, "A few days ago, when we met the Green Arrow Snake while gathering herbs, there was a sudden lightning bolt that struck it to death.
Today, Gale was attacked by the Holy Flame and the same thing happened.
Don't you think that these two events are too coincidental? "
I frowned. Many people saw me using the Scorching Sun Talisman yesterday, but my actions and identity were concealed, so it shouldn't have raised any suspicions. However, I had already used the Lightning Talisman in front of Nam previously. Combining the two events, it was normal for Nam to be suspicious.
Of course, I wouldn't explain anything to him. I only frowned and thought about how to cover up this matter. Who knew that before I could say anything, Nam suddenly became emotional and pulled my hand. "The village chief said that the Monster Emperor is everywhere and has been watching over every single one of the Monster race. I didn't believe it in the past, but now I really believe it. The Heavenly Lightning and Holy Flame must have been purposely released by the Monster Emperor for me!"
His emotional expression made me laugh in my heart. However, this was also good as it allowed him to firmly believe in the existence of the Monster Emperor, which would clear my suspicions.
After Nam prayed and thanked the Monster Emperor, he said to me emotionally, "The Monster Emperor is so concerned about me. He definitely wants to guide me to lead the Dog Head Race from the lowly race to the noble race.
When that time comes, we won't be bullied by the Dog Head Race like Gale anymore! "
Upon saying that, he clasped his hands together and prayed again. "Great and respectable Monster Emperor, please bless me to get into Saade Academy and bless me to lead the Dog Head Race to become the nobles of the Monster Domain. For this, I'm willing to sacrifice everything, including my soul."
After he finished praying, I asked him curiously, "Didn't you say that the Monster race's bloodline is divided into the noble and the lowly? Could it be that after you become stronger, you can change the bloodline of the Dog Head Race?"
Nam shook his head. "The bloodline is bestowed by the Monster Emperor, but whether it's noble or lowly, we have to fight for it.
Just like the Dog Head Race, they are the cousins of the Dog Head Race. Even though they are stronger than us, their status is the same.
After Gale's sister got into Saade Academy, the Dog Head Race's status jumped above us. "
I was shocked. Just getting into an academy could actually increase the status of the entire race. It seemed that the Monster race's emphasis on education and talents wasn't any worse than the human race.
After ending our conversation, Nam and I walked out of the house. At this moment, my grandmother was leisurely lying on a rattan chair and looked at the busy women in the courtyard with a gratified expression. She muttered softly, "Our Nam is really fortunate to be favored by the Monster Emperor. I wonder how many fat boys he's going to give birth to."
Grandmother's words made Nam smile. His legs weren't very nimble at this moment, but he walked out of the courtyard and looked at the neatly arranged earthen jars and giggled.
When I returned yesterday, I was already curious about these earthen jars, but I didn't have the chance to ask. Now that I saw Nam's current expression, I couldn't help but ask.
Nam smiled and told me. "This is the tradition of us Dog Head Race. During the wife selection ceremony, we can place a few earthen jars at the door of our house.
The more earthen jars there are, the stronger the man in the house is and the more women he can conquer. "
As he said that, Nam's face was filled with pride.
I smiled and shook my head. The Monster race's culture was completely different from the human race. The human race was reserved while the Monster race was much more unrestrained.
Maybe it was due to the stimulation from the Jackal race, but for the next two days, Nam didn't go anywhere. He didn't even touch the six women that he had captured. He just continuously cultivated and recovered. When the village chief finished refining the elixir, the injuries on his body had also completely recovered.
Two days later, Nam and I had just finished our breakfast when the village chief sent someone to inform us that the elixir had already been refined.
After hearing the news, Nam instantly jumped up from the ground and happily barked a few times.
I was rather curious about the Monster race's elixir and also wanted to directly feel the power of the Beast Pill. Thus, under Nam's urging, I followed him to the village chief's house.
After entering the house, I noticed that the fire in the village chief's house had already been extinguished. The green pot on top was still boiling. It was obvious that the elixir had just been refined.
The village chief's elixir didn't look like the elixir that I had imagined. It was still in liquid form. The village chief poured the liquid into a bowl and passed it to Nam.
At that moment, Nam couldn't wait any longer. After receiving the bowl, he didn't mind that it was hot and raised his head to drink it.
After drinking it, he still felt like he hadn't had enough. He smiled and asked, "Village chief, is there more?"
The village chief smiled wryly and reached out to knock his head. "Little Nam, do you think this is cold water? This big pot of elixir can only be used once. After boiling it for so long, there's only one bowl left."
After knowing that there was only one bowl, the smile on Nam's face disappeared and he sighed. "If I had known earlier, I would have drunk it slower and left half a bowl for Duoji. Even though it can't completely heal his injuries, it should still be of some help …"
After saying that, Nam looked at me apologetically. His hands continuously fiddled with the clay bowl on the table. It was obvious that he was feeling down.
