The Great Wild God - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 Encounter An Enemy
Zuoqiu walked into the mountain depression where the clansmen were hiding. His intuition was half stiff and he almost fell off the cliff.
Qianlan, who was thin and small, saw her brother stagger along with a pale face and a shocked expression. She quickly stepped forward to support him and said, “What’s going on?”
“That black python brat is really amazing! His spiritual sense is even sharper than yours. If you hide here, he can sense the aura of the Iron Trial Token from a distance of more than ten kilometers.” Zuoqiu sat on a rock and rested.
“Could it be that he was born with a Spirit Channeling Sword Heart?” Qianlan asked in surprise. Using the faint light, she saw a piece of her brother’s right rib tear open, revealing a pale wound, as if it was frozen.
Zuoqiu thought back to the soul-stirring arrow just now, and he was afraid that the Black Python and the Montenegro Tribe would join forces to urge Qianlan and the other tribesmen to quickly follow him down the mountain. “Let’s hurry up, they want to chase after him, and you can’t stop him.”
Zuoqiu led his men across the Wild Horse Stream on ice, crossing several mountains, confirming that no one was chasing him from behind, so he rested for a while.
At the crucial moment, he moved half of his body away. Only the flesh on his left rib was pierced by the iron arrow. His injuries weren’t heavy, but the extremely cold profound energy that penetrated his body made Zuoqiu feel uncomfortable. He really didn’t know what kind of profound technique his opponent was cultivating, but it was actually so mysterious.
Zuoqiu spent a little bit of time in the middle of the night. Only when dawn came did he refine the profound cold energy that had invaded his body. He was also secretly shocked. If it wasn’t for his quick reaction, he would have escaped in time and been struck by another arrow. He was afraid that he would have told him to stay there.
********************
Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others went out at night in order to reduce their conflict with the Beishan tribal clan’s disciples.
The desolate beasts in the mountains wouldn’t deliberately restrain their auras. Chen Xun had a strong spiritual sense, and he could avoid the den of fierce birds and ferocious beasts by walking at night. He would find a cliff cave to hide in during the day.
As long as they weren’t worried about bumping into fierce birds and beasts, Zong Ling and South Stream might be young, but they all had peak fourth level Barbarian Martial Cultivation. They were as agile as apes and wouldn’t slow Chen Xun and Gu Jianfeng down at night.
In four days, they passed through the mountains at the eastern foot of the Python Fang Ridge without any dangers and entered the edge of the Azure Water Wilderness.
The descendants of the Northern Mountain Tribe fought for the trial iron medallion, but the bloody slaughter never stopped. Along the way, Chen Xun and the others saw dozens of corpses that had exposed the wilderness, causing the desolate beasts to gnaw on them in an unpleasant manner.
Looking at the broken limbs and bones that hadn’t yet matured, Chen Xun’s heart was as hard as iron.
Entering the Azure Wave Wilderness, although it was less than two thousand miles away from Azure Wave City, it was only then that it became truly dangerous. Chen Xun did not have the leisure to pity these disciples of the Northern Mountain Tribe who had lost their lives in the mountains.
Spring came much earlier in Azure Water City than in the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge.
At this time, the frozen rivers that had been frozen for several months began to thaw. The slightly larger rivers were filled with floating ice from the upper reaches. The rivers were blocked by floating ice. The floods broke through the naturally formed mud dikes and flooded everywhere.
Even the edges of the dense forests on the hills were muddy.
Apart from the fierce birds and ferocious beasts in the dense forest of Mount Qiu, the poisonous insects, snakes, and flood dragons in the lake had also emerged from the mud caverns after hibernating for the entire winter. This was the time of fierceness and cruelty.
The remnant souls of the desolate beasts confined by the Iron-smelting Trial Token were not only a desperate struggle for the clan disciples, but also a beautiful bait for those poisonous insects, snakes, and flood dragons that had been hibernating all winter and were unable to endure hunger.
The poisonous miasma in the swamp after spring was a fatal trap.
Chen Xun, Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others moved against the wind, avoiding a strange, pink mist that was hundreds of meters in radius. They stepped on the tree trunk and cut it into large planks. They passed through a muddy swamp and drilled into a dense forest.
There were a few skeletons near the forest. Their flesh and blood were corroded by the poisonous miasma. There were also a few heavy-edged spears beside them that were severely corroded, as if they had been exposed to the moist water vapor for many years. Gu Jianfeng was secretly shocked. They had seen these people pass by them last night. They did not expect that the poisonous miasma would end up like this.
“If we go around the windward entrance, we’ll really avoid these poisonous miasmas!” Zong Ling said excitedly when he saw that he had really bypassed the miasma.
Chen Xun instructed Zong Ling not to be complacent about his small discovery. “The terrain of the Wilderness is changeable, and the wind is unpredictable. You must be careful of the direction of the wind …”
Even the Barbarian Martial Inheritance of the Wilderness Tribes was taught orally through secret methods, and the accumulation of knowledge in other areas was practically equivalent to nothing.
Originally, Chen Xun wanted to enter the Azure Water Wasteland. He brought along the Iron Trial Token with him and separated from Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, and the others. After arriving at Azure Water City, they would reunite. He never thought that they would normally be young and mature, but after entering the Azure Water Wasteland, they were all caught off guard.
Chen Xun had no choice but to change his plan and follow them along the edge of the swamp and the dense forest, groping his way forward.
Gu Jianfeng had been fishing and hunting with his clansmen since he was young. He had long been the backbone of the clan, but leaving the familiar mountains and entering the unfamiliar wilderness would be a great eye-opener.
According to what his father said, Chen Xun and his father had been cultivating in the depths of Python Fang Ridge four years ago. After they accidentally separated, they finally landed in the Black Python. He thought to himself that he was two years younger than him, and his cultivation base and mind were no longer in question. He didn’t expect that the experience of living in the wilderness was far beyond his reach. He felt even more admiration in his heart.
He really couldn’t imagine how they would have crossed the wasteland to Azure Water City without Chen Xun.
Gu Jianfeng thought nonsense, but when he saw Chen Xun suddenly signal for everyone to calm down, he squatted down and looked at the dense forest in front of him. He approached and whispered,
“What’s the matter?”
“There’s someone up ahead. There seems to be a conflict!” Chen Xun said in a low voice.
Along the way, Gu Jianfeng relied on Chen Xun’s keen spiritual sense to avoid most of the dangers. He held his breath and tried his best to sense the abnormalities in the dense forest ahead.
However, the clashes and battles took place in the distance. Apart from the wind piercing through the dense forest and the movements of the forest beasts, Gu Jianfeng could not sense anything.
“Stop …”
Chen Xun warned Gu Jianfeng and the others to be careful and vigilant. He also took the Iron Embryo Bow in his hand and passed through the dense forest. He touched it to the fighting area and saw five corpses lying on the edge of the dense forest by the swamp.
“Gu Fu!” Gu Jianfeng’s eyes almost popped out when he saw the five corpses.
Along the way, he had been worried that the seven people who were traveling along parts of the road in Montenegro would encounter misfortune on the road, but he had never expected to see their corpses exposed to the wilderness and veins on their right arms exposed, almost crushing a bone spear into pieces …
There was a string of footprints on the edge of the pond. Gu Jianfeng picked up his spears and was about to chase after them.
Chen Xun pulled him back, “The other party is very strong …”
“They killed Gu Fu!” Gu Jianfeng roared as the veins on his forehead were exposed.
“The other party is very strong.” Chen Xun said the same thing. Gu Jianfeng was only courting death by chasing after him.
Gu Jianfeng used his heavy spear to break a giant tree that the two of them were hugging, but the resentment in his heart was hard to vent.
The bloodlust of the trial path had long since been known, who could he hate?
Do you hate the people who killed Gu Fu, or do you hate Gu Chen, Uncle Gu, and Gu Shan, who are stubborn and resolutely refuse to agree to join forces with the Black Python?
If Uncle Gu Chen knew that his only son was Hengye, how would he feel?
Chen Xun squatted down and looked at the wounds on the necks of the corpses. They were all extremely small and had been cut open by extremely sharp blades. The wounds were as if they had been burned by fire, and there was very little blood flowing out of them.
The opponent should be cultivating Flaming Fiend and other profound arts, but Gu Fu and the others’ corpses hadn’t dispersed. They had lost their lives almost at the same time, so the opponent’s strength was truly extremely strong.
Although Chen Xun had the strength to fight, he didn’t need to avenge the people of Black Mountain Tribe. Right now, his main task was to protect Zong Ya, Nanxi, and the others. They could safely arrive at Azure Water City …
“Not good, they’re back. Let’s go …” Chen Xun sensed that several people were rushing over. It must be Gu Jianfeng who had angrily snapped the giant tree just now, causing the other party to see something unusual.
He immediately pulled Nan Xi, who was planning to dig up mud to bury the five corpses, along with Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya, Gu Feng, and the others, into the dense forest and sprinted to the west.
However, his opponent was like a gangrene with bones attached to his back, unable to get rid of it no matter what, and he was getting closer and closer.
“Zong Ya, give me the iron medallion. Don’t wait for me. We’ll meet at Cang Lan first.” Chen Xun brought the trial iron medallion over and hid it. He then said to Gu Jianfeng, “You can protect Zong Ya and the others. Even if there are no more trial iron medallion, there will definitely be other rewards!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I can’t protect Zong Ya. I have no face to see you alive!” Gu Jianfeng didn’t say much, knowing that they would only distract Chen Xun if they stayed behind, so he immediately fled south with Zong Ya and the others.
Chen Xunteng stood on the tree and saw three figures chasing after him from afar. They were seven to eight miles away, but in the blink of an eye, they had shortened by a few miles.
Chen Xun felt that the three of them were moving as fast as galloping horses as they stepped on the treetops, and their cultivation levels weren’t inferior to his.
Chen Xun held the bow in his hand and knew that the Iron Trial Token was on him. He could not hide his tracks, but he restrained his aura. He drew an iron arrow and placed it on the string. When the youth in the lead caught up to him and dived into the Roc Form, he drew his bow and shot angrily.
The arrow was like a floating light and silent. Lou Shiyi’s heart trembled. His profound strength rotated nine times, and his body instantly stopped in mid-air. He forcefully let go of the iron arrow that contained infinite killing intent.
Lou Shiyi was furious. Of course, he sensed the ferocious aura emitted by the Iron Trial Token. However, he never thought that the person carrying the Iron Trial Token would purposely restrain his aura, causing him to think that he was a weak person. He did not even activate the Diamond Armor. He never thought that this arrow would be so powerful that it almost pierced through his entire body.
“Brother Lou, this is a tough fight. Shall we leave it to the two brothers to practice?” Afterwards, the two of them echoed like shadows and instantly rushed to the side of the youth surnamed Lou.
One of them stretched out his foot and stepped on the iron arrow that Chen Xun shot out. The sole of his foot seemed to generate a suction force, actually sticking the iron arrow that was filled with thousands of kilograms of strength to the sole of his foot. He casually pinched the spell and shot out two fierce flame arrows.
When the Blazing Flame Arrow flew out of his hand, the two phantoms of the Blazing Flame Profound Talisman turned into two balls of fire in the next moment. They formed a giant Blazing Flame Arrow in the void and shot towards Chen Xun’s face.
Chen Xun waved his bow and slashed furiously, and the black iron bow arm revealed a strange black soul divine splendor as it shot towards the fiery arrow.
The Flame Fire Talisman Arrow that condensed infinite flame profound energy instantly shattered, scattering into countless sparks that engulfed the left and right sides.
The air was filled with a burning sulphur aura, and none of the giant trees swept by the flame arrows were charred. The two people Chen Xun had secretly said were no weaker than the youth surnamed Lou. They were actually cultivating the legendary spells.
The Lou Clan was a major clan of the Gui Xi Tribe. Chen Xun hadn’t expected that the three people chasing after them weren’t from the same clan. Instead, the Gui Xi Tribe had joined forces with other clan experts to hunt down other clan disciples who were carrying the Iron Trial Token in the Azure Water Wilderness.
Chen Xun could sense that the three of them had at least five trial iron plates on them. He knew that at least three people had died in their hands.
Chen Xun no longer hid his body. He leapt onto the top of the forest and laughed loudly, “Brother Lou, let’s kill these two together. The two of them have two trial iron medals on them. I’ll give them all to you. I won’t take one, okay?”
