Chapter 18: The Temptation of Wine and Meat

  But whatever the reason, good luck or one's own efforts paying off, in the end, I emerged victorious, killing this elite and experiencing a tremendous surge in power.

  Twenty-second level, the sudden surge in strength caused Zhou Bo's various attributes to go crazy. At the same time, the dead Black Wind Gang leader also dropped a lot of good stuff, and the tiger-striped steel knife, a weapon that surpassed the Qing Song treasure sword, appeared in Zhou Bo's hand.

  Tiger Stripe Steel Knife: Grade: High

  Sharpness: 202

  Knockback with special effect - Attacks have a certain chance to knock back targets.

  Required Power: 280

  High-grade tiger-striped steel knife, with a sharpness nearly twice that of the Qing Song treasure sword. It also comes with a knockback effect, no wonder I was always being knocked back by this guy during our previous fight. Looks like it's this property that's been causing trouble.

  Good stuff, switch! It just so happens that the Qing Song treasure sword is a bit awkward to use. Compared to it, the treasure sword is more delicate and makes Zhou Bo very uncomfortable. He is more used to using heavier weapons such as long knives, wolf-tooth clubs and the like, at least they look more impressive.

  Apart from the tiger-striped steel knife, in Heifengzhai's Big Head Hua's bosom, Zhou Bo also fished out ten ingots of silver, which was a not insignificant income. There was also a tattered and worn-out secret manual that appeared before Zhou Bo's eyes.

  Secret recipe?

  His eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhou Bo now had a nearly pathological feeling and obsession with the secret recipe. The secret recipe, even if it was the lowest level of Qingcheng Heart Method, would have an extremely powerful effect after being cultivated to full level. This secret recipe shouldn't be some kind of trash, right?

  Iron Sand Palm: A mid-level palm technique, widely rumored in the Jianghu world. It is trained with an iron sandbag to grind out a pair of indestructible iron palms. When practiced to a high level, a pair of iron palms can shatter anything. The training does not require great wisdom, the palm technique is steady and rigid, without much flexibility, simple to learn but difficult to master, unless one has great willpower, it cannot be successfully trained. Its attacking power is extremely strong, combined with one's own strength and internal energy, directly shattering the opponent's skeleton, dealing heavy blows to the target, basic damage 240. Training requirement level: Level 20!

  Tiesa Zhang, surprisingly, is an intermediate-level palm technique with a reputation that's absolutely extraordinary. Although it can't be considered a profound or advanced skill, when practiced to a high level, its power is boundless. Previously, in the real world, Zhou Bo had always envied those so-called masters who could shatter bricks with one palm strike; now, it seems he might also be able to possess this kind of demeanor.

  The panda's face couldn't help but reveal a strange smile, but that smile looked extremely terrifying in the eyes of the remaining mountain bandits. It was this guy who had just killed his own leader, with the terrifying dark red blood still staining his paws, and now he was revealing such an expression, as if this perverted panda was thinking about how to cook himself a few more?

  Heavens, that's just too miserable.

  The wind is howling loudly!

  At the shout, several younger brothers turned around and ran away.

  Damn it, did I let you guys go? Now myself is not the silly panda before, with 20-level attributes on me, do these mountain bandits want to escape? Forget it!

  With a swift misstep, his body rapidly chased after him, and with a sudden leap, his figure instantly soared high into the air. With a loud thud, he crashed to the ground, unfortunately blocking the path of these mountain bandits. Sporting a smile full of ill intentions on his face, Zhou Bo slowly raised his palm. Actually, at this moment, Zhou Bo really wanted to say some boastful and intimidating words, but unfortunately, his mouth couldn't utter any words.

  Only Zhou Bo didn't know that his silent and stealthy appearance, combined with the fresh blood on his paws, made him look even more terrifying.

  "Damn it, I'll fight you to the death..." Under intense fear, a mountain bandit went completely crazy, raised his steel knife and slashed down at Zhou Bo.

  Bang!

  A palm strike landed on the mountain bandit's steel knife, and a thick inner force burst out. With a loud "crack", the entire knife snapped instantly. The palm exploded on the bandit's chest, spewing out a mouthful of blood mist. His body didn't even let out a groan before collapsing to the ground, dead.

  Damn it, this is what power feels like!

  This feeling made Zhou Bo deeply infatuated, his whole body filled with a powerful feeling, it was simply maddening, and he himself became a master!

  However, Zhou Bo was very clear that with his own strength, he was absolutely no match for Qian Fan. The difference was too great. Qian Fan's ghostly movements were something he couldn't even see clearly. There was still a huge gap between himself now and the true masters.

  Plop!

  One of the mountain bandits could no longer withstand the pressure of that terror, and with a thud, his entire body knelt to the ground, making a move that left Zhou Bo stunned.

  "Panda grandpa, please don't kill me! I have an 80-year-old mother and a three-year-old child who is still breastfeeding... Waaahhh..." Amidst the sobbing, a extremely miserable life story emerged. Grandpa, you look like you're only in your twenties, how can you have an 80-year-old mother? Did she give birth to you when she was 60?! And you also have a three-year-old child who is still breastfeeding... You're quite accomplished, becoming a father at the age of 17..."

  "Panda Grandpa, as long as you spare me, from now on you'll be my boss. I'll provide you with wine and meat, every meal will be delicious and spicy, and I'll treat you like an ancestor...” Originally, Zhou Bo was still planning to take out these mountain bandits to gain experience points, but when he heard this sentence, his body suddenly stopped moving.

  My stomach growled with a very unimpressive gurgle.

  With wine and meat, why eat blandly and drink mildly?

  She secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, grandma, how long has it been since she last saw meat?

  It seemed like there was a show to watch, and several other mountain bandits almost simultaneously knelt down.

  "Panda hero, as long as you spare our lives, we'll acknowledge you as our leader from now on. You can be the master of Heifeng Fortress. With just one word from you, we'll brave knife mountains and fire seas without batting an eyelid. Just spare our lives... We haven't committed any heinous crimes, just some minor evils like killing people, setting fires, and stealing things. Please have mercy on us and let us go..."

  In the end, the temptation of wine and meat is greater than everything else. Experience points are nothing, filling one's stomach is the most important thing.

  Under this temptation, Zhou Bo finally nodded.

  At this moment, several mountain bandits suddenly went wild with joy, and the heavy stone that had been pressing on their hearts finally came loose. Good guy, such a strange panda? Omnipotent, even the boss is not an opponent, and can still understand human language? Has it become a spirit?

  No wonder Lao Da wasn't a match for it, fighting such a formidable monster is like asking to die. Luckily I had the foresight, otherwise my life would have been gone.

  What? You're talking about face? Come on, how much does that thing cost per kilogram? Keeping one's life is the real deal!
