Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

About five minutes later, Wolf Bu'er completely got rid of the control of the paralyzing poison, even earlier than Wang Wu had expected.

Following that, it fished out two vermilion pills, each about the size of a pea, from who knows where—one it swallowed directly, and the other it tossed to Wang Wu.

"Old Ape, please go scout the surroundings with Shi Liu. I feel my resistance to the paralyzing poison is increasing. It's been a long time since I've encountered such a potent poison. Can't miss this opportunity!"

"Of course, leave it to us."

Yuan Bupu nodded towards Wang Wu and then he and the goofy Xiong Shiliu each went in opposite directions.

At this moment, Wolf Bu'er said to Wang Wu: "What I gave you is an eighth-grade Ginseng Vitality Pill, which has a strong restorative effect on the companion spirit plant and is quite beneficial to you as well. Consider this repayment for today's events."

Wow, so easygoing.

Wang Wu hastily cupped his paw, "You're joking, sister-in-law. There's no need to speak like outsiders among family."

In response, Wolf Bu'er raised an eyebrow at Wang Wu, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

He thought it would get angry or say something, but in the end, it didn't say anything at all.

Seeing this, Wang Wu quickly swallowed the so-called eighth-grade Ginseng Vitality Pill. As soon as it hit his stomach, he felt like a warm campfire had lit inside him, and an overwhelming heat surged in all directions. It was fierce.

Fortunately, Wang Wu was experienced and quickly used the Inner Breathing Technique to regain control of the situation, circulating his Qi and blood, as though commanding troops, to just barely control the warm heat.

However, the vitality contained within this Ginseng Vitality Pill continued to surge out. In just a few seconds, not only did his Life Value of 1,700 points get fully replenished, but there was an excess of 2,300 points.

At this rate, the Ginseng Vitality Pill could restore at least 5,000 points of vitality.

Damn, the rich second-generation demon is so generous, giving away such valuable things just like that.

Wang Wu, unable to utilize all the vitality immediately, decided to release a bit for the Companion Demon Vine to have its fill.

Speaking of which, it's a bit embarrassing, ever since the Companion Demon Vine awakened, Wang Wu only provided it with vitality when he needed its help, otherwise, he wouldn't spare a drop, since he himself was running low.

Now it's better; this little Companion Demon Vine can finally enjoy prosperity, have a full meal. Hurry and thank this Female Bodhisattva!

As a large amount of vitality poured in, the Companion Demon Vine seemed to be celebrating a holiday, its tentacles flaring and looking lively. With 500 points of vitality, it dared to grow a new leaf; with 800 points, it dared to sprout more roots; with 1,000 points—my goodness—it dared to level up.

It evolved!

Turns out it was that easy!

"Your Companion Demon Vine has grown to the second stage by absorbing sufficient vitality."

Nice, upon opening the attribute bar, it looked pretty good.

Let's do it again; there's still plenty of vitality to go around.

But this time Wang Wu fell for it, the first evolution required only 1,000 points of vitality.

After the second evolution, he injected nearly 4,000 points of vitality, yet the Companion Demon Vine remained unresponsive.

Surely it isn't progressing by a factor of five each time?

At this point, Wang Wu found himself in a bind, especially with Wolf Bu'er watching him intently, making him feel like a monster, "Please don't look at me like that; we're really not that close."

Finally, he had no choice but to scrape together 1,500 points of vitality, finally reaching 5,000 points.

This time it finally worked.

"Your Companion Demon Vine has grown to the third stage by absorbing sufficient vitality."

Upon reopening the attribute bar, Wang Wu's previously aching heart instantly turned to ecstatic joy.

——

Awesome, truly awesome.

At this moment, Wang Wu looked at Wolf Bu'er and suddenly found it much more agreeable to the eye.

"Xiong Wu, has your Companion Demon Vine evolved?"

Wolf Bu'er spoke up directly; it already guessed, or perhaps this was its intent all along.

"Indeed, thank you, sister-in-law. However, the Companion Demon Vine's power seems a bit overwhelming after evolving. I'm afraid it might harm you."

Wang Wu said tactfully, really, 3,000 points of paralysis poison damage, even if Wolf Bu'er has decent paralysis poison resistance and considerable Demon King toxin resistance, it's actually still a bit dangerous.

They say nothing tastes better than dumplings, but if it's directly poisoned to death, that's no fun.

Wolf Bu'er said nothing at all, just glanced coldly at Wang Wu with narrow blue eyes, the disdain showing clearly.

Just shy of saying stop nagging, get on with it, let's see if this lady can withstand it!

But Wang Wu didn't dare to take any chances, especially since Niu Xiaohua was still paralyzed and unconscious at the moment, Old Niu was still having intermittent spasms, and Little Wild Boar was still spasming from the last round.

This won't do!

"Better call Brother Yuan back, to be safe."

"Stop with the nonsense, like a granny! Are you a female?!"

Such words backed him into a corner.

Wang Wu didn't dilly-dally anymore, activated the Companion Demon Vine, and in that instant, a tentacle thicker than an adult's fist emerged from his Bear Claw, flashing with a faint glow and dripping with strange fluid, extremely agile like a poisonous dragon.

Wang Wu was startled himself, damn, are you rebelling!

With a swoosh, the demon vine tentacle shot out over thirty meters, directly wrapping Wolf Bu'er like a dumpling, even Wolf Bu'er was caught off guard, immediately trying to call out, but was silenced by the tentacle tip...

"Presumptuous!"

Wang Wu shouted in his heart, and the demon vine tentacle quickly retracted, but it seemed it was too late, as in that instant, it had injected about 200 points of paralysis poison into Wolf Bu'er.

The next moment, Wolf Bu'er fell silent, collapsing to the ground, foaming at the mouth, blood streaming from his eyes, nose, and ears, his body twitching all over, incontinent.

Finished, finished!

If this little Wolf Demon dies from poisoning, he'll be in deep trouble!

Old Niu wakes up to find his fiancée killed, won't he go after him?

Wang Wu was sweating profusely, and crucially, he didn't have any healing-based secret technique talent!

Luckily, just as he was in despair, there came something rolling like a tumbleweed, without a word, feeding Wolf Bu'er with what seemed to be an antitoxic elixir pill.

It was Xiong Shiliu.

Followed by Yuan Bupu who rushed back, looking at Wang Wu in shock, wanting to say something, but it only became a bitter smile.

Really, if Wolf Bu'er was truly poisoned to death, the sky would indeed fall!

Fortunately, Xiong Shiliu's antitoxic elixir worked well, and soon after, Wolf Bu'er's life aura stabilized somewhat, but there were likely only a few dozen points of life value left.

Really, almost scared Wang Wu to death.

Almost got him killed instantly!

"Luckily, luckily! Life is safe, Sister Bu'er was too proud, suffered a big loss this time, should learn a lesson. Younger Brother Xiong, don't mind, this wasn't something you could foresee."

Xiong Shiliu actually spoke, his voice gentle and pleasant, crucially peaceful, making one feel convinced and infectious.

At that moment, Wang Wu was almost moved to tears, ready to bow and worship, this was a wise leader, an adoptive father!

Wu Piaoling roamed for half his life without meeting such a leader, if not abandoned, willing to be adopted...

Sigh!

Wang Wu snapped awake, damn it, what's going on!

And looking at Xiong Shiliu again, those clear eyes like the sky still seemed unchanged.

Damn, is this bear so mysterious!

"Huh? Interesting, Younger Brother Xiong, you have a strong demon soul, my mind bewitching secret technique was cracked by you instantly."

Xiong Shiliu spoke with a smile, very honest.

And Wang Wu was stunned, damn it, why are you using mind bewitching secret technique on me for no reason.

"Haha! Younger Brother Xiong, don't misunderstand, I was afraid you were anxious, only trying to ease your worries." Xiong Shiliu spoke frankly, making Wang Wu even feel guilt, what a good demon, I wrongly blamed it, I'm remorseful!

Emma, not right, can't you shut up!

"Sixteen, don't talk anymore, at your current realm, every word you say carries a seductive heart effect, even if Bear Wu has a strong demon soul, he can't withstand it!"

Yuan Bupu hurriedly spoke at this time.

Only then did Xiong Shiliu smile slightly at Wang Wu and ceased talking.

Wang Wu finally believed, this guy really had no malice, just damn too strange, no wonder Great Ape King said this guy has the makings of a Demon Emperor, now he sees Xiong Shiliu indeed has such potential.

"Bear Wu, don't take it to heart, Sixteen was really worried about you being anxious, after all, I think you probably encountered such a thing for the first time, Bu'er was simply too reckless."

Yuan Bupu explained again, then couldn't help glancing at Wang Wu's left front paw, which seemed fine, but capable of nearly instantly defeating Wolf Bu'er at sixth-grade, this evolved demon vine tentacle was just too bizarrely powerful!

Simply illogical, even a mature Devil Vine isn't this strong.

"Uh, well, Bear Wu, I want to try your Companion Demon Vine again, would you mind?"

Yuan Bupu hesitated, ultimately making a bold request.
