Chapter 604
A strange and sharp cry came from Lu Sheng's side .
The sound came and went . It was not loud, but it was persistent .
He slowly recovered from the grogginess of the Arrival . He collected his spirit, opened his eyes, and started taking in his surroundings .
He was in a damp, grayish-brown tree hollow with a grass bed under him . The brown dried grass was mixed with fresh green grass as it formed an oval bed .
There was some faint light shining in from the outside . The faint radiance shone on Lu Sheng's two front paws .
"Where… am I?" Lu Sheng did not feel too comfortable with his eyesight . He felt that everything he saw was flat .
He flexed his body and turned around .
"Huhu…"
The sensation of him turning his own body around felt strange . It was as if he was wrapped in a thick, furry blanket . His movements were slightly clumsy .
'This can't be, right… Why do I feel like I have a tail on my butt?'
Lu Sheng suddenly noticed that something was wrong . He looked around him with his pinkish eyes .
He saw two rabbits .
Two big, furry gray rabbits . They were snuggled up to him and were sleeping soundly .
"Rabbits?!"
Lu Sheng fell silent as well .
He raised his arms . He saw two gray paws being instantly lifted up .
He touched his own chest .
It was all fur .
He opened his mouth .
"Skree!"
A short, sharp cry of a rabbit came from his own mouth .
"…"
Lu Sheng was speechless .
He stood up and wanted to straighten his legs and walk straight . However, it was obvious that this body had never straightened its legs before . He immediately fell to his side .
"I really have turned into a rabbit…" Lu Sheng's feelings were terrible right now .
He had Arrived in many identities before this . However, this was his first time becoming an actual rabbit .
"Interesting . "
Lu Sheng got up and pushed the gray rabbit away with all four of his limbs . He walked out of the hollow .
The song of birds and scent of flowers filled the air outside the tree hollow . Strange gurgling sounds could also be heard in the dense forest filled with tall trees .
Lu Sheng strolled around the tree hollow and observed his surroundings before returning to the hollow .
The two rabbits were awake now . They were wriggling their bodies . They lifted their hind paws and licked them .
"…" Lu Sheng suddenly remembered that rabbits cleaned their fur and bodies with their own mouths .
'Forget it . Let's have a look at this rabbit's wishes and karma . ' He slowly started recalling . In no time, the wish of this rabbit which he Arrived in slowly became clear .
'I hope that there'll be no more strife in the forest, and for there to be peace in the world . Let us all sit down happily and eat grass together . '
"Uh…"
This was the karma and wish Lu Sheng sensed .
"What f*cking karma is this?!" He felt as if he had overestimated the intellectual capabilities of rabbits .
'Maybe… this karma can be divided into two?' He suddenly had a thought .
The next thing he did was to organize the gray rabbit's memories .
There was nothing but eating and defecating . Also, there was the faint distant memory of his parents being caught by wolves .
'No! That's too dangerous, I must grow stronger as quickly as possible! Otherwise, an ordinary beast or two will foil my current Arrival . ' Lu Sheng was starting to feel slightly anxious .
He started searching for strengthening methods that could even be applied by rabbits in his memories .
Lu Sheng leaned against the tree trunk and started organizing his thoughts .
'Firstly, I can't use anything related to Spiritual Essence or inner force . Next, I can't use any cultivation methods that need special resources as well .
'Looks like I can only use simple and crude methods that circulate vigor… Thank goodness I have Deep Blue with me . ' Lu Sheng glanced at the two other rabbits again . To his surprise, they were starting to mate right in front of him .
One of the rabbits spread itself on the other and started thrusting .
"Quick! Quick! Quick!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"

Lu Sheng could strangely understand their language .
"We must be quick! As quick as possible!" Lu Sheng saw one of the rabbits eyeing him with puzzlement . It was as if it was questioning his non-involvement .
Lu Sheng's mouth twitched . In the gray rabbit's memories, he seemed to remember that the three of them…
…were male .
Lu Sheng ignored the two and went to a corner in the tree hollow on his own .
He quickly found a most basic vigor-circulating cultivation method in his memories, Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra!
Its name was domineering, and so were its effects . However, this cultivation method actually had a greatest shortcoming .
The shortcoming was that it had to be cultivated with the eyes closed . This was because it was created by a blind assassin .
Lu Sheng had discovered this in a secret tome in the Prime Devil Sect's armory .
This cultivation method also had the side effect of growing hair all over one's body . That was the prime reason why Lu Sheng had never cultivated this .
However, it was perfect in his current condition .
Lu Sheng lowered his head and looked at the gray fur on his forepaws again . Then, he squatted in the corner and started to seriously recall the detailed method to cultivate the Black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra .
The initiation of this cultivation method was easy, but it required a lot of vigor . Hence, after being initiated, he would have to replenish his body's nutrients as quickly as possible .
However, before that, Lu Sheng had to learn to walk with two straight legs…
If he felt thirsty, he would go out and eat grass .
If he felt hungry, he would do the same thing .
Under his companions' resentful gazes, Lu Sheng quickly devoured the grass around the tree hollow . To Lu Sheng's surprise, some of the grasses actually tasted good . They were sweet and crunchy with a faint aroma .
After countless rounds of practice, Lu Sheng slowly mastered the key techniques to stand on two straight legs .
This continued for a few days .
He eventually could walk with two legs slowly . Shortly after, he started training with the cultivation method .
The first stage of the black Dragon Heart-crushing Mantra involved a movement which resembled guiding arts . He would contort his body and curl himself up, and then he would stretch himself out rapidly . Like a spring, he would continuously compress and relax his own body .
This was called the Loose Tight Path . It was the name of the cultivation method's first stage .
Under the support of his powerful spirit, Lu Sheng basically mastered the basics of the Loose Tight Path in a day .
If he could practice the application of this cultivation method, he would be initiated at the first stage and usher in the era of modification .
However, an accident happened at this point .

"Gugugu!"
"Gugugugu!"
A gray rabbit pounced into the tree hollow with fright . Then, it hopped around wildly in circles . Its fur stood slightly on end .
Then, it leapt up to Lu Sheng . It started clicking its teeth and spreading its mouth . It flailed its ears around and clawed away at the ground with its forepaws .
"Gugugu!" (The snake! The snake is here!)
Lu Sheng immediately understood what it meant .
"Gu?" (Snake?) he asked for confirmation .
"Gu! Gugu!" (Yes! Big snake!)
Lu Sheng called this gray rabbit Incisor because his incisors were the longest . The other rabbit had no characteristics, and he did not bother to give it a name .
After muttering to himself for some time, Lu Sheng heard the faint slithering of a reptile from outside the tree hollow . It was weak and masked by the sounds of the rustling tree leaves .
He frowned . He flattened his ears onto his back . He found a tree bark and tied it to himself .
Then, he stood up .
"You stay here . I'll go and check," he ordered Incisor .
"No! You'll die!" Incisor shouted . He was so anxious that he started pacing in circles .
"You're overthinking . " Lu Sheng walked toward the tree hollow's opening calmly .
After exiting the tree hollow, the first thing he saw was not the snake, but a row of squirrels atop a branch before him . These squirrels were squeaking as if they were telling the little animals in the area that the snake had arrived .
Shortly after, a triangular-headed green venomous serpent with yellow spots on its body slowly slithered out of the grass to the right of the tree hollow .
The snake was more than 10 times Lu Sheng's current body length . At first glance, its huge head left no room for doubt that it could swallow Incisor whole as long as it unhinged its jaws .
The venomous snake's ice-cold and hungry gaze locked on Lu Sheng . He moved slowly as he inched toward Lu Sheng . He raised his head while keeping his eyes on Lu Sheng .
"You're a venomous snake?" Lu Sheng flexed his paws . He had not strengthened his body with Deep Blue yet, but this body was already used to the new changes .
The claws of a wild rabbit were not slow . They were sharp as well .
The venomous snake seemed to be puzzled . He had never seen a rabbit which stood on two legs before . He remembered that the hind legs of a rabbit were supposed to be bent…
Besides, where were its ears?
The venomous snake kept searching for Lu Sheng's ears .

However, he quickly gave up . His hunger overcame him . He smelled the aroma of blood and flesh .
The venomous inched closer and closer .
"Pcchht!"
All of a sudden, a shadow struck . The venomous snake's muscles flowed along his body, erupting with great strength as he lunged at Lu Sheng .
His hunger was boiling, his vigor was trembling . His eyes revealed that he was deeply elated .
After this meal, he would have more strength! To hunt for more prey! More food! Food!
"Pchht! Pcchht!"
Two cold beams of light shot past .
With a sidestep, Lu Sheng appeared on the right of the venomous snake with lightning speed . His claws were dripping with blood, but it was not his .
"Bam!"
The venomous snake's head slammed into an old tree . Then, he rolled to the ground, and gave a few jerks before he started struggling wildly . He persisted in his struggle for quite some time before finally losing all signs of life .
For Lu Sheng, wild animals that could only rely on their natural instincts were no different from ordinary people who did not know any martial arts . They were powerless before him .
He looked on silently as blood kept oozing out from the two bloody holes on the venomous snake's neck . His head was almost detached from his body .
Then, he turned around and entered the tree hollow without any expression .
Rabbits did not have organs or teeth to digest meat; hence, he could not consume the snake . He had no choice but to let it go to waste there .
In the moment just now, he merely used this body's own agility and reaction speed to precisely create a one-hit-KO phenomenon . However, that was all the strength he had . The structure of a rabbit's body determined that he could not fight the venomous snake for too long .
He was able to deal with a little venomous snake this time . However, if a leopard, or some other nimble animal with greater strength and agility, came around, his meager strength would not be enough to fend off one tackle .
After all, the difference between their body sizes was too great .
Lu Sheng returned to the tree hollow and saw Incisor who froze out of fear .
"Let's go and find another place to stay . We can't be here anymore," he said directly .
A snake had died here . The smell of blood would certainly attract more ferocious beasts . Also, he had to clean his bloodstained claws as well .
Besides, if he wanted to fulfil this rabbit's karma, he would have to find a suitable location . He started making formal arrangements .
Incisor was scared to death . In his daze, he was pulled away by Lu Sheng out of the tree hollow .
In the daylit forest, two gray rabbits walked alongside each other . One of them walked with two hind legs, while the other blindly followed the former out of the tree hollow .
After walking for dozens of meters, he saw a gray rabbit's skin and some scattered, bloodstained bones under a long root .
It was the other gray rabbit . Lu Sheng recognized the scent .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
