Check in to become stronger in Devouring Star

After spending half a month accompanying his family on a trip, Qin Hao returned home, with only half a month left until the New Year. Qin Hao planned to venture into the wilderness again. Having grown accustomed to hunting during his time at the elite training camp, the half-month of leisure made Qin Hao feel restless.

He had initially planned to meet Luo Feng to check on his training progress. However, the two narrowly missed each other. During Qin Hao's trip with his family, Luo Feng had also returned home before heading back to the wilderness.

After a quick repack of his backpack, Qin Hao informed his family and set off for the wilderness. Entering the same dedicated train and the same military camp once again, Qin Hao's feelings were different this time.

This time, Qin Hao's goal in entering the wilderness was not only to hunt but also to connect with nature and deepen his understanding of martial arts. In Hong's cultivation experience, many insights were recorded during the Great Nirvana period in various places, wildernesses, mountains, and lakes.

For Qin Hao, the next step for both his movement technique and swordsmanship was the artistic conception level. However, the artistic conception level cannot be achieved through mere cultivation. Foundation, mastery (microscopic), perfection, artistic conception, and domain are processes that involve controlling one's body and internal self to resonate with the external world.

To comprehend artistic conception, understanding the world is essential, and one must witness the various natural phenomena in this world. From these phenomena, one can comprehend different artistic conceptions.

Entering the wilderness, Qin Hao had no specific goal. He advanced continuously in one direction, witnessing the scenery and nature of various locations. Sometimes he stopped to watch quietly, and other times he only caught a fleeting glimpse.

In this way, Qin Hao continued to advance in the wilderness, gradually entering the area where Mount Huang was located before the Great Nirvana. As a famous mountain in China, Mount Huang's scenery attracted countless tourists.

However, during the Great Nirvana, Mount Huang was gradually occupied by various monsters, and even now, very few warriors ventured into the Huangshan area. Most warriors chose to hunt around existing cities, rarely entering the mountains.

Entering Mount Huang, Qin Hao couldn't help but slow down. In his previous life, he had always wanted to come and see it but never acted on it. Now that he was here in this life, he would take a good look at this most peculiar mountain in the world. Moreover, it was a peculiar mountain that had recovered naturally for decades.

Strange pines, bizarre rocks, a sea of clouds, and some remaining cultural relics, ancient stairways, ancient楹联, ancient bridges, ancient pavilions, ancient temples, ancient pagodas, and various cliff carvings. Although most of them had been destroyed again, many still remained.

"Someone has entered the restricted area."

At this time, Qin Hao had already climbed to the top of the mountain, looking at the sea of clouds at Mount Huang, and his heart was filled with endless emotion.

"The scenery is beautiful and charming, no wonder it attracts so many tourists, leaving countless poems behind. However, in this world, it is much more difficult to climb up here."

The scenery was beautiful, but it was not something ordinary people could see.

On the way up the mountain, Qin Hao encountered many monsters. Among them were some commander-level monsters, and many were in packs. Even a human warrior squad would have difficulty dealing with them.

The monsters in the mountains are very different from the monsters in the cities. Most of the monsters in the towns are transformed from former livestock and animals in zoos. The monsters in the mountains are mainly wild animals, which already have a certain degree of attack power, and after mutation, their attack power and aggressiveness are even stronger.

At night, Qin Hao directly set up a boundary on the top of the mountain, while he lay on the top, looking at the night sky above. The infinite stars, the bright moonlight, the quiet night sky, the occasional roars from the forest, the trees and mountains in the darkness… seemed to form a strange picture.

Feeling everything around him, Qin Hao felt that he was becoming a part of Mount Huang, a part of the night. All the subtle changes around him became very clear in his perception.

"Rustle, rustle." Although the sound was subtle, it was very clear in Qin Hao's ears.

"A monster is coming, what a nuisance." Qin Hao didn't act immediately but allowed the monster to approach. The monster's speed was very fast, and it quickly came to Qin Hao's side, pouncing directly at him.

At the moment of being attacked, Qin Hao's Black God suit instantly covered his entire body, and at the same time, he disappeared from the spot.

"Hmm, something's not right." Seeing the monster attacking him, Qin Hao noticed something was wrong. The monster's strength was good, the power of an intermediate commander-level monster, but its appearance was very strange.

It had a crow-like beak and black wings, the body and head of a dog, and its hands and feet were very similar to humans, covered in hair, probably like an ape or monkey. Seeing the monster, Qin Hao couldn't help but be startled.

He had dealt with monsters more than once or twice, and Qin Hao knew a lot about most monsters. Monsters were mutated from animals before the Great Nirvana. Although their size and appearance had changed, they could still be recognized in general.

But this monster was not something that existed in reality, but rather a stitched-together monster.

"Karasu Tengu?" A name appeared in Qin Hao's mind, a character often seen in Japanese anime and games in his previous life, a famous Japanese youkai. However, in the world of Swallowed Star, Japan disappeared during the Great Nirvana, and such Japanese-style monsters were rarely known.

"How could it appear here?" Qin Hao dodged while constantly thinking, "Could the Japanese be up to something again?"

Qin Hao couldn't help but think of the Japanese he had encountered before, there must be some connection between the two. In his previous life, the Japanese had been constantly immigrating to various places, even establishing closed Japanese schools, and China was one of them. The closed Japanese schools, with strict guards, aroused many speculations.

"Let me see what these people are up to." After making a decision, Qin Hao drew his long knife, leaving wounds on the monster's body. Although there were many wounds, they were not fatal, but they gradually put the monster in a seriously injured state.

As the battle continued, the monster gradually became timid and began to prepare to escape. After fighting a dozen more times, the monster let out a wail, flapped its wings, and flew into the mountains.
