A fireplace had been carved into the wall of the cave, filled with burning firewood, providing warmth to the room.

Xu Bai was coiled in front of the fireplace, brewing a pot of unknown medicinal soup.

Xiao Chou had just returned from outside, covered in snow, seemingly having just finished hunting.

His arm had returned to normal, but it was covered in snake patterns, which were gradually spreading across his body.

Initially, he had been hysterical, wanting to cut off the arm. But after discovering its incredible strength, he had been grinning foolishly, treating it as a treasure.

Xu Bai had wanted to cut it off for him, but he refused.

"This is the legendary Qilin Arm, with Qilin patterns on it. It has the strength of ten thousand elephants in a single punch. This is my great fortune!" Xiao Chou said seriously.

"Then you should be careful. These snake patterns might spread across your entire body in the future," Xu Bai reminded him.

"Haha, what do I care? I'm a cultivator. Why would I care about my outer appearance? At worst, I'll just buy a Beauty Pill in the future," Xiao Chou laughed.

Compared to strength, this was insignificant.

After all his experiences, Xiao Chou deeply understood that strength was the true path!

Xiao Chou patted the snow off his body and, seeing Xu Hei approaching, quickly came over with a smile, "By the way, Senior Hei, do demonic beasts have any festivals?"

"No," Xu Hei shook his head.

"We humans have a festival called New Year's Eve. Every year on this day, we go home to reunite with our families," Xiao Chou said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Xiao Chou hadn't been home for five years. Ever since joining the Mountain Movers Sect, he thought of his parents every year on this night.

"What is home?" Xu Hei asked, puzzled.

"You don't even know what home is? It's the place where you were born and raised," Xiao Chou rolled his eyes.

A thought flashed through Xu Hei's mind, and he immediately thought of a place.

Xu Bai also looked up, thinking of the same place.

—Myriad Serpent Valley!

That was where they were born, where their ancestors had lived for generations.

"Your home is Myriad Serpent Valley, right? I heard it's being turned into a slaughterhouse by the snake catchers. From your perspective, that's quite pitiful."

Xiao Chou shook his head, not dwelling on the topic, and took out a bag of flour and meat.

"Haha, it's New Year's Eve today. I'll make dumplings for you, with dog meat filling! That star of calamity isn't here, and I've been wanting to eat dog meat for a long time," Xiao Chou laughed, drooling.

Xu Hei's mouth twitched.

He forgot to tell Xiao Chou that Hei Huang had left a Divine Sense mark on him and could hear everything he said.

Before long, a pot of dumplings was ready.

Xiao Chou ate with great relish, while Xu Hei tried one but found it tasteless. His mind was preoccupied with the concept of home.

To him, home had always been just a territory, and territories could be exchanged.

But listening to Xiao Chou, it seemed to mean something different.

Just as Xu Hei was deep in thought.

Xu Hei suddenly sensed something and took out a piece of jade. This was given to him by Hei Huang to detect human cultivators.

At this moment, a small red dot appeared on the jade.

"A human cultivator approaching?" Xu Hei looked puzzled.

However, the red dot was very small, indicating only a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. What was such a low-level cultivator doing in these deep mountains? Seeking death?

But then, Xu Hei was shocked to see that the red dots on the jade were increasing, becoming denser and denser.

One, two, three, five, ten, twenty, fifty...

There were too many to count!
