Chapter 302 Gu Chen's First Fight
Due to the blockade between immortals and mortals, few immortals and gods can descend to the mortal world, but this does not mean that they cannot descend. It's just that the price they pay is a bit too high, so much that the immortals and gods feel that it's not worth it. After all, how much of the Taoism they can spread and how many relatives they can gain by descending to the mortal world are just a drop in the bucket compared to the price they pay. Unfortunately, there are some things that they cannot decide.
After a great war in the fairy world, countless fairies and gods fell into a deep sleep. Sleeping is tantamount to suicide. No one can guarantee the continuation of the Taoist tradition and the survival of their clans. What's more, many fairies and gods who are afraid of chaos will specifically strangle the Taoist tradition of these sleeping fairies and gods.
With no other options, the immortals who were about to fall into a deep sleep had to reduce their own abilities and send down a second body to the mortal believers to spread the fire of Taoism.
"Squeak-"
The sharp and chaotic screams coming from a distance scared Gu Chen. He thought to himself that he might be encountered by a strange creature. He looked around and climbed up a tall tree with dense branches, which was just right for hiding his body.
He had been wandering in this forest for some time. Ever since he left home and plunged into the outside world, the confident Gu Chen encountered his first setback - he was directionally challenged.
Gu Chen had no destination and no map. He walked out of the house and walked along the path for a while. Suddenly, he saw a wooden stake lying in the middle of the road. He was worried that something was wrong, so he changed the road and continued to move forward. After walking a few dozen steps, he encountered the half-broken wooden stake again.
The man and the wood fought for dozens of rounds. Gu Chen neither went forward nor looked around. He just ran with his head down. Unfortunately, his behavior seemed to have angered the wooden stake. It stood up straight and shook. The next second, Gu Chen came to an old forest.
The towering trees with lush branches and leaves blocked most of the daytime sunlight. The entire forest was gloomy, with subtle sounds audible from time to time.
Gu Chen felt a little unsure. He had not been able to tell the direction to begin with, and now he was even more dizzy. He turned around like a headless fly, wanting to take advantage of daybreak to walk more distance and see if he could get out of the old forest.
He looked at the scratches on the tree trunk and couldn't help but sigh. Gu Chen walked for several hours and saw that the forest was getting darker and darker. When he turned a corner, the familiar tree with the mark on it at the time of departure seemed to be laughing at him for his useless work. At this moment, he heard bursts of roars and he hurriedly climbed up the tall tree.
Climbing up high and looking far away, with a broad vision, Gu Chen finally saw what it was.
A fat white ape with white hair and a pointed mouth was lying on a bamboo chair. It was about one meter tall and as bloated as a fat pig.
Four bamboo poles extended from the bamboo chair, which was carried by four black apes. They walked with difficulty and made sharp cries from time to time.
But this was not what surprised Gu Chen the most. The most surprising thing was the human head hanging behind the bamboo chair. The head had pale eyes and was looking at the sky silently, as if accusing something.
As the bamboo chair trembled forward, the fat white ape shook his head comfortably, and could not help but burp, spitting out half a white bone.
The white bones were covered with saliva and spat out by the white ape on the ground, attracting the black ape on the chair to look at them. Finally, a black ape stretched out its foot and kicked the bones away, which fell into the mouth of the black ape. A creaking sound followed, which made Gu Chen's stomach churn.
The group of apes were getting closer and closer. Gu Chen gathered his scattered thoughts, held his breath and waited, calming his breath, hoping that this group of plague gods would leave quickly.
The small bamboo chair creaked with the footsteps of the black ape that was lifting it, accompanied by the occasional sharp cries of the black ape. Apart from that, the forest was silent and the wind had stopped.
The black ape passed by the tree where Gu Chen was hiding steadily. Gu Chen was like a stone at the bottom of a pond, standing still. Seeing the white ape and his group walking further and further away, Gu Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"and many more."
A sharp and hoarse voice sounded, and Gu Chen's heart, which had just calmed down, rose to his throat again. He secretly groaned. He only knew a few martial arts moves, and it was obvious that the white ape was not an ordinary wild beast, not to mention that he could speak!
The white ape called a halt, rolled down from the bamboo chair, leaned over a tree where Gu Chen had stayed before, bent down to observe, picked up a handful of soil and smelled it, and finally raised his head and sipped it into his mouth. As if he had discovered something, the white ape stood up, twitched his nostrils, and walked while smelling, slowly pacing to the big tree where Gu Chen was hiding.
"There is a human smell. Someone will stay here within three hours." A hoarse voice sounded, "I didn't expect that after just capturing two people for a snack, another snack would be delivered to the door." The white ape said, a drop of saliva flowed down the corner of his mouth into the mane on his chest.
"Men, find it for me. You must find it." The white ape waved his arms and ordered his men.
"No need to look for me, Grandpa is here!" A ray of knife light slid down from the sky like the bright moonlight.
A silver light flashed, and a figure fell down, along with it, an ape arm covered with white fur, and spots of dirty blood spilled.
Gu Chen rolled over to relieve the impact of falling dozens of meters, and chopped the white ape's calf, causing blood to flow.
"Roar"
The pain came too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the white ape roared from the two injuries. It swept its arms towards Gu Chen and repelled him, then smashed down on a large tree nearby with great force. Two trees as thick as a man's embrace broke in half, and the heavy tree trunks seemed to fall slowly but were actually fast, falling to the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust and even shaking the ground three times.
Gu Chen looked at the long sword he took with him when he left home, and then looked at the white ape whose arm was cut off by the sword, and began to doubt his life.
'I don't think I've made a breakthrough, why does it feel so much more powerful?'
He let out a breath to calm his pounding heart. Since his trail had been discovered, he had to strike first. The only thing he didn't expect was that the long sword that had been difficult to use to chop down trees in the past could now cut down powerful enemies with ease.
Gu Chen, who had a vague feeling that something was wrong, didn't think much about it. It was a good thing that his strength increased, especially in these deep mountains and old forests full of dangers. The most important thing now was to solve the current problem first!
After that scream, the four black apes pounded their chests as if they were under a military order, charged forward with big strides, and ran towards Gu Chen with their mouths wide open.
Seeing the black apes surrounding him like a mountain curtain, Gu Chen was fearless. He seized the opportunity and chopped off the head of a black ape with a backhand. Long-term martial arts training had already allowed Gu Chen to shed his mortal body and forge divine bones. Dealing with a few wild beasts relying on hunting instinct was as easy as taking something out of a bag or observing the patterns on his palm.
Gu Chen wiped off a drop of dirty blood from the blade. As the saying goes, if you carry a sharp knife in your heart, you will naturally have the desire to kill. A breath of evil anger surged in his heart, and the knife light became even more dangerous.
The headless body fell to the ground with a bang. Using the corpse as a barrier, Gu Chen moved his feet and went behind another black ape.
Pfft!
The tip of the knife entered from behind, avoided the upper limb skeleton, and came out from the chest. Gu Chen kicked the corpse, which was not yet dead, away, and pulled out the blade to block the heavy punch of the third black ape.
Bang bang bang!
Three punches hit the black ape's chest directly, causing it to spit blood after one punch, and its skin and flesh were torn apart after two punches. The three punches were so powerful that they penetrated its chest and back, leaving a big hole in the black ape's heart. Bones protruded from its back, and it was obvious that it was dead.
As soon as they met, the three monsters died instantly, and blood sprayed on Gu Chen's face and body. For a moment, he couldn't tell which one was the monster.
Woohoo~
Suddenly, a strong wind blew!
