Forest and Cookies? A big Joke!

I am now running through a forest while being chased by 20, 10 years old Silver Wolves. (Yeah. If you want to know why I'm in this kind of situation, I will say that it is not a good idea to enter an unknown and possibly infested with spirit beast forest shouting like there's no tomorrow. They surrounded me after running 5 km. I needed to use my intent to break through their encirclement so now I'm tired. I could kill 5 of them easily but 20 is overkill!).

While I'm concentrated, one wolf jumps to me. I can't evade it completely and it leaves a cut at my cheek (If it leaves a scar, I'm gonna be sure to extinguish all the specie!).

Suddenly, the wolves stop and start running in the opposite direction.

"Yeah run! Little fuckers!" I shout as my Mind Eye warns me of an attack behind me. I quickly jump forward twisting my body mid-air to confront the danger now before me. I invoke my sword blocking a big claw, being pushed 7 meters until I recuperate and stand again.

I can see a big 5 meters two-legged silver bear (With this strength it surely will be a minimum 100 years old beast)

"Maybe I'm not confident fighting a large number of enemies but in a 1vs1, I have no rival!" I say while pointing up with my sword <First skill: Fire power>. Then, I charge toward the bear activating my sword intent, having my sword turning red illuminated by a white light.

"Eat this!" I easily pierce through the bear killing it. Manifesting above its dead body a white ring. (So it was 10 years old. Fuck! I spent too much spirit and physical energy, making me tired as fuck!).

I quickly activate my Stealth Treasure, hiding my cultivation and run cautiously to not find any beast. After 10 min I find a cave that it seems empty, I active my Mind Eye at full power checking no live signs. I sigh in relief finding anything suspicious and enter the cave. I rest a little and then start meditating trying to recuperate to top form.

(Fuck this seems more difficult that I first expect. It's not only about strength, but I must also always take into consideration my surroundings and without a safe zone, running out of energy can be my death or at least the coming of grandpa's punishment).

I use my storage bracelet that was a gift for my 7th birthday and take some bread and meat, eating it.

(In storage I only have 1 week worth of food. I'll need to restock and find some supply for my time here). After eating I open my left arm manifesting an Oreo (Finally I can use it without fear of being discovered. I wanna keep hide as a trump card).

I approach the Oreo toward my mouth when suddenly an animal jumps and takes it from me (WTF! I didn't detect it).

I watch carefully and see a little 5 cm long hamster-like beast eating it quickly (So it's too weak to detect. The weakest beast a Hungry Hamster. I don't sense any kind of danger from it).

Suddenly, the hamster starts doing some strange noise and stars coughing. I become vigilant for some kind of trap or signal to other beasts but after 1 minute, the hamster falls down.

I approach him touching it to see what happened and I find that it's dead, a white ring appearing above him (Wow, I don't even think to be possible for a beast to die suffocated by a cookie, how weak).

Suddenly, the cookie that the hamster hold in contact with me touching the hamster illuminates and even before I can react, the Oreo absorb the white ring- It didn't even take 0,5 seconds!

I watch with dumbfounded face the half-eaten Oreo, now with a white ring surrounding it. After a moment my face change to an anger one "FUCK! FUCK! HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO ABSORB SOMETHING SO SIMPLY! FUCK MY RING CONFIGURATION PLAN! I HAVE NOW A FUCKING SPIRIT WITH A WHITE RING!"

After 30 min cursing all the ancestors of the hamsters and promising revenge, I calm down a little and start meditating trying to find the spirit skill obtained.

After 5 min, I open my eyes knowing the skill and how it works. (Not only the skill sucks even the summoning is embarrassing, too weak!).

I breathe to calm down open my left hand and sing "♪Wonder if I gave a Normal Oreo♪". After singing that line (Yeah singing.If only said, it doesn't work) a bright Oreo appears above my left hand. I take one of the black cookie parts and eat only the cream. After that, I simply throw the black cookies. I don't sense any difference.

(So weak that is normal to not notice anything) I sigh (The ability is called Normal Oreo and increase the cultivation speed a 5%. So if someone spent let's say 50 years reaching titled Douluo {It's a supposition} eating this cookie he will need like 47-48 years, so very useless. Not only that, to maintain the effect, you also need to eat one every day, being impossible for me to produce more than 5 a day and not obtaining a greater effect eating more. There's also another thing, eating the cream is useful for tool spirit types, increasing the speed by 5% and eating the black cookie part is useful for beast spirit types, increasing by 10%. If someone eats the wrong part the effect is reversed and multiplied by 2. Summarizing a useless shit. At least it tastes better than the original).

I hit my cheeks with my hands saying "Concentrated! Ignore this mishap and concentrate on training".

I find a big stone and block the entrance of the cave. Then, I stayed all day at the cave doing my routine finally falling sleep.

The next day, I wake up, have breakfast and sing to invoke the Normal Oreo and eat only the cream throwing the black part. "Yosh! Ready for today" I say standing up.

I hide my cultivation and decide to explore the forest stealthily. I walk around the forest making a mental map to not lose my way. After walking 30 minutes, I find a river (Great! Some water source, I can cross of the list the water and fish).

I take some water into the storage and use my sword to catch some fish. After that, I continue exploring, finding 3 Silver Wolves. I inspect the surroundings checking that there's no other wolves. I stealthily invoke my sword pointing to the sky <First skill: Fire power> turning the sword red.

I dash towards them (Revenge Time!) easily piercing and killing the first one, then swing my sword killing another one. I evade with a light right step the last one while chopping its head. (Suck that one! You're no so threatening alone). After some more time, I decide that today was enough and return to the cave to finish my routine.

This continued for 2 weeks, creating my mental map of the forest, fighting some beast and hunting others to eat meat. Also, I found some berries to eat near the river. I still have to be careful of not being ambushed by more than 5 beasts. When there's more than 3, I need to use my skill and if they're more than 5, I run away.

Today I wake up and decide to go to the center area of the forest, confided to run away if I'm surrounded (At most there will be a 100 years old beast, so no problem). Near the forest's center, all noises seem to stop and I can't detect any spirit beast.

Arriving at the center, I saw an open space. In the middle of it, it stands an enormous tree of 50 m tall, with a diameter of 5 meters. I close distant to the tree, trying to have a better view.

Suddenly, I sense some danger behind me, before I can even turn or invoke my spirit, I'm hit with great force at my back, throwing me 10 m to the ground. Trying to stand up, I cough blood and notice that my armor is broken where I was hit. A kind of big root with 0,5 meters of diameter being the guilty to hit me.

I see 8 more roots coming closer and I close my eyes waiting for dead as they were swung towards him me.

(Nothing happened?) I open my eyes at the lack of any action and find grandpa Bone standing there, immobilizing all the roots with his mere presence. With an angry face Bone shouts "You! A mere plant how you dare to harm little Bai?! Courting death!"

He invokes a black hole with a bone spear in it, trying to kill the tree "NO! Don't kill it, it is mine. I wanna kill it, chop it and make chopsticks" I say stopping Bone. Bone stops, the black hole disappears and says to me "Ok, it's your decision" he then opens a new black hole, taking both of us to cross it, appearing outside the forest.

Then grandpa takes some kind of pill and make me eat it "Eat it will heal you. It was only a small hit thanks for your armor."

Grandpa takes another identical armor and gives to me "Take another one the previously is useless now" He sighs and continues talking "If you want to kill that tree it will be a big challenge. I and your parents are not hoping for you to beat eat. That tree is a 10 Roots Demonic Tree, a tree that after 1000 years had gained conscience, gaining every 1000 years, 10 m length and 10 cm of roots' diameter. Being a tree the main body is immobile so it attacks using its 10 roots. This tree has a very big vitality so it can regenerate the cut roots almost instantly, To kill it, you must to overcome the roots and attack the main body, chopping it down. If not a complete chop, it will be regenerated again. Are you sure you want to kill it?" Bone asked.

I nod saying "Yes, I will train to overcome my debilities. If in 9 months time I can't kill it, I will give up".

"Why the 9 months?" asked Bone.

"A big brother can't miss the 6th birthday and spirit awakening of his precious little sister" I answer.

Grandpa Bone smiles at my answer and disappears in a black hole. I vow "Be proud! Oh king of the forest because it only will last until the wrath of this hero descends to you" I finish saying "So now...TRAINING TIME!".

And the last chapter of today "clap,clap". Yeah the cookie is kind of a joke but is not in the original novel? the food system is the joke system so the same for this one but don't worry it will improve. The next chapter the training and fight with the tree, maybe the start of the awakening of rongrong I don't know now depends on length. Thanks for reading!
