The Silver Whisker Tiger swooped down, its massive claws like palm-leaf fans, fiercely enveloping Tong Qingshan.
Tong Qingshan wanted to test his strength, so he used his spear like a club, swinging it at the tiger's claws.
Boom! The tiger's claws collided with the shaft of Tong Qingshan's spear.
Tong Qingshan's immense power erupted, and the tiger, diving down from mid-air, lost its balance and was sent flying to the side by Tong Qingshan's strike.
As for Tong Qingshan, he stood his ground, back straight, unmoving like a mountain.
"This..." The few young hunters from Shenshuitan Village were dumbfounded. They never expected Tong Qingshan to send the Silver Whisker Tiger flying!
"Tong Qingshan is so strong!" Tan Ying couldn't help but exclaim.
The other surviving hunters from Shenshuitan Village also rubbed their eyes in disbelief at what they had just witnessed.
"How is this possible! The Silver Whisker Tiger is the king of this mountain range!"
"Hiss... Tong Qingshan from Zaoye Village can hunt tigers!"
"Zaoye Village is going to produce a great figure!"
While the young hunters were still reeling from shock, Tong Qingyu approached them.
At this moment, Tong Qingyu reassured them, "Cousin, don't worry. Brother Qingshan is the strongest in Zaoye Village. He can definitely kill the tiger."
Zhang Chu then shouted, "Qingshan, finish it quickly. We need to hurry."
"Alright!" Tong Qingshan replied, striding towards the Silver Whisker Tiger.

The Silver Whisker Tiger, provoked, charged at Tong Qingshan.
Simultaneously, the tiger's silver whiskers began to glow, and silver Divine Patterns suddenly burst forth.
These silver Divine Patterns were terrifying, shattering trees upon contact, like dreadful snares aiming to entangle Tong Qingshan.
The hunting team from Shenshuitan Village held their breath in fear, their faces pale.
But Tong Qingshan pressed forward, spear pointed at the tiger, ignoring the silver Divine Patterns.
Just as the silver Divine Patterns were about to strike Tong Qingshan, his Dantian glowed, and a strand of golden Divine Pattern was unleashed.
When all the Divine Patterns collided, they simultaneously vanished. Then, Tong Qingshan's spear suddenly accelerated, thrusting straight at the Silver Whisker Tiger's head.
Although the Silver Whisker Tiger tried desperately to dodge, Tong Qingshan's spear seemed to have a life of its own, always aiming at the tiger's forehead.
Crack!
The spear pierced through the Silver Whisker Tiger's head.
The massive body of the Silver Whisker Tiger froze in place, its eyes filled with unwillingness.
It never expected to die so easily.
After his successful strike, Tong Qingshan gave a slight tremor to the spear shaft, completely destroying the Silver Whisker Tiger's brain, extinguishing its life force.
Boom! The massive body of the Silver Whisker Tiger collapsed to the ground, the king of this mountain range slain by Tong Qingshan's spear!
"My heavens, Tong Qingshan, you actually, you actually..." Tan Ying was so shocked he couldn't finish his sentence.
The other young hunters from Shenshuitan Village were equally stunned. They never imagined Tong Qingshan would kill the Silver Whisker Tiger in the blink of an eye, completely overturning their understanding.
"Amazing!" someone exclaimed in admiration.
"Ah, if only someone in our village could cultivate..."
At this moment, the survivors from Shenshuitan Village suddenly realized that Zaoye Village was different from them.
Meanwhile, Tong Qingyu and Gang Zi were ecstatic, pumping their fists: "Haha, Brother Qingshan is truly formidable!"
"In the future, we can easily slay Great Demons too!"
At this moment, Tong Qingshan gripped his spear tightly and approached Zhang Chu, laughing heartily, "Sir, I can kill the Silver Whisker Tiger now, hahaha..."
Having slain a Great Demon for the first time, Tong Qingshan felt exhilarated and couldn't help but shout and laugh.
In the past, they would always avoid demons.
Zhang Chu nodded slightly, allowing Tong Qingshan to laugh for a while before saying, "Not bad, but don't get arrogant. In Yaoxu, there are countless creatures stronger than the Silver Whisker Tiger."
"Yes!" Tong Qingshan composed himself and replied respectfully.
The people from Shenshuitan Village were dumbfounded.
Such a powerful Tong Qingshan actually listened to the commands of another young man. They couldn't even begin to imagine Zhang Chu's strength.
However, Zhang Chu remained casual, asking a few simple questions, which Tan Ying answered one by one.
Recently, many outsiders or mysterious Great Demons had been fighting nearby, so the people of Shenshuitan Village didn't dare venture out, fearing for their lives.
But the days in Shenshuitan Village were far worse than in Zaoye Village, as they were severely lacking in food.
Today, when things finally calmed down, they wanted to hunt some game to alleviate the village's famine.
But unexpectedly, they encountered the Silver Whisker Tiger patrolling the mountain.
It seemed the Silver Whisker Tiger also took advantage of the calm to hunt more prey for storage, killing anyone it saw, nearly wiping out their hunting team.
Understanding the situation, Zhang Chu didn't ask further and left the matter to Tong Qingshan.
At this time, Tong Qingshan said, "We need to go to Mangdang Mountain, and passing through your area, we don't intend to hunt in your territory."
"However, since we killed this fierce tiger, by the rules, the Tiger Treasure belongs to us."
Tan Ying quickly said, "Don't mention the Tiger Treasure, even if you take the whole Silver Whisker Tiger, they wouldn't dare have any objections."
If it weren't for Tong Qingshan today, their hunting team would have been wiped out. How could they dare speak of rules? Tong Qingshan's words were the rules.
However, Zhang Chu and Tong Qingshan needed to travel light, so they left the Silver Whisker Tiger's carcass.
Soon, Tong Qingshan set to work, cutting out the massive Tiger Treasure, a large silver meatball covered in silver patterns, exuding a tempting aroma.
The people from Shenshuitan Village drooled at the sight. This was Tiger Treasure, something they had only heard of, never seen.
Of course, no matter how much they craved it, the Tiger Treasure didn't belong to them.
At this moment, Tong Qingshan first cut the largest and best piece for Zhang Chu: "Hehe, sir, eat it while it's hot!"
Zhang Chu nodded. The Tiger Treasure's power was pure, its taste delicious, far superior to pig treasures.
The four of them casually divided and devoured it, finishing it in no time.
While eating the "Tiger Treasure," Zhang Chu's mind also delved into the Shanhai Map, curious to see if there would be any changes after consuming the Tiger Treasure.
However, the Silver Whisker Tiger did not manifest within the Shanhai Map.
At this moment, Zhang Chu mused, "This Shanhai Map is quite picky. Even a Silver Whisker Tiger that has opened several Life Wells isn't qualified to manifest within it."
But this also indicated how formidable the rabbit demon and fox demon they had previously consumed were, their realms far surpassing the Silver Whisker Tiger.
"It seems only high-realm, even shape-shifting Great Demons can manifest within the Shanhai Map."
Though the Silver Whisker Tiger didn't manifest, the Shanhai Map became more solid, its internal landscapes clearer.
Simultaneously, spiritual energy continuously spread from the Shanhai Map, nourishing and transforming Zhang Chu's body.
Tong Qingshan and the others had also finished their share of the Tiger Treasure, visibly more energetic and benefiting greatly.
"Let's go, we need to get moving," Zhang Chu said.
But just then, Tan Ying suddenly shouted, "By the way, if you're heading to Mangdang Mountain, you'll pass by Wuliu Village. Make sure not to go near that village."
Tong Qingshan paused slightly, turning to ask, "Why?"
Tan Ying replied, "The people in that village have all been corrupted."
"Hmm?" Tong Qingshan was stunned, "All corrupted?"
Tan Ying sighed, "Anyway, don't go near that village. They're very strange and terrifying now."
"Got it, thank you!" Tong Qingshan said.
With that, they turned and left.
As they traveled, Tong Qingshan asked Zhang Chu, "Sir, should we take the Wuliu Village route?"
Zhang Chu asked, "Is there another route besides Wuliu Village?"
Tong Qingshan explained, "If we take the Wuliu Village route, we can reach Mangdang Mountain before noon."
"If we take a detour, we might not reach Mangdang Mountain before noon. Adding the time to gather herbs and possibly dealing with the Great Horned Python, I'm afraid we won't make it back to the village in time."
Hearing this, Zhang Chu immediately decided, "Then let's take a trip to Wuliu Village and see what this so-called corrupted village is like."
"Alright!" Tong Qingshan nodded.
Tong Qingyu added, "Even if the people of Wuliu Village are corrupted, with our strength, we can avoid them."
"Still, be careful and don't be too careless," Zhang Chu reminded.
The four of them followed a path, approaching Wuliu Village.
Wuliu Village's Guardian Deity was a willow tree, visible from afar, with a massive willow tree covering the entire village.
The willow branches hung low, like a bride's beaded veil, covering the entire village.
But upon closer inspection, Zhang Chu and the others gasped.
The old willow tree seemed to be in great trouble, with many leaves turning black, as if infested with insects, and numerous branches fallen to the ground.
This was an unbelievable sight, as in Yaoxu, Guardian Deities were special beings, not ordinary trees, and shouldn't be infested or sick.
Yet now, this old willow tree seemed to be in its twilight years.
And when Zhang Chu and the others looked closely at the people in the village, they felt a chill run down their spines!
