"Remember, the biggest taboo in the Brambles Mountain Range is to constantly make noise. This will cause you to be discovered by many demon beasts. Even if you make any noise, you must quickly leave this place. " Lin Zhan continued, "Even if you are injured, try to cover up the blood on your body. The smell of blood will also attract demon beasts. Demon beasts' noses are much more sensitive than ours. This isn't the Yin Wind Valley where demon beasts come in batches. There is no time for you to recuperate. Avoiding injury is the biggest rule of survival.
Remember the first rule of survival in the Brambles Forest: Never stay in the same place. After the battle, no matter what the situation is, leave as soon as possible. "
Lin Zhan pondered for a moment and continued: "In these places, besides demon beasts, you must also pay more attention to your own kind! Here, there is no such thing as friends, only enemies. A moment ago, you saved him and he was grateful to you with a smile. The next moment, he will stab you with that same smile! The second rule of the Brambles Mountain Range: There are no such thing as friends, only enemies. Believe in yourself and be wary of everyone! "
Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Wang Chen heavily nodded. He knew a bit about this. This was also the most dangerous place in the Brambles Mountain Range.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and looked around.
The canopies of countless big trees almost covered the whole sky. Seeing this, Wang Chen raised his vigilance to the highest level. Then, he carefully and deftly crossed the tangled branches and vines on the road like a monkey. But he had only taken two steps.
"Hiss ~ ~" Seeing the scene not far away, Wang Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The corpses of two men and one woman were more than ten meters ahead. The three corpses hadn't decomposed yet. One could even see some blood that hadn't completely solidified.
However, the signs of the three corpses being chewed up and swallowed were very obvious. The three corpses were not complete. One of the male's thighs was half eaten, and there was a big hole in his stomach. His broken intestines were also flowing on the ground. There was a woman whose head had been half-eaten, but her eyeball was still there. It was wide open, revealing an expression of disbelief. It was incredibly savage, and her mouth was wide open, as if she was crying out in fear before her death.
Wang Chen's face turned pale, and he held his breath.
"They should have died within a day or two." Lin Zhan appeared beside Wang Chen. He carefully examined the three corpses and slowly said, "Kid, look carefully. What's wrong with their corpses?"
Hearing this, Wang Chen revealed a trace of doubt. He took a closer look, and with this look, Wang Chen's eyes widened!
Although the three corpses looked like they were covered with scratches and teeth marks from demonic beasts, upon closer inspection, one could see that their chests, backs, and waists all had obvious knife marks! Moreover, they were all fatal wounds.
"Killed by someone?" Wang Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Xuan's eyes flickered slightly as he sucked in a breath of cold air. The injuries of these people were either fatal or severely injured in a single strike. There were no signs of a battle at all. Unless he was an expert, it was impossible for him to be so decisive.
However, Wang Chen seemed to understand something from the horrified expressions of these people before they died. "They were killed by their own people?"
"Yes! That should be the case. They were killed by their own people. Look, the first person's heart was pierced from the back. Then the second person's heart was pierced from the front. The third one, this woman, was a few meters away. Her abdomen was first pierced by a small knife, and then her throat was pierced by a sword! Other than this woman, who struggled a little, the other two were killed cleanly. It was done by their own people! Moreover, it should be two people working together! "Lin Zhan said in a deep voice.
This could be considered as the first lesson for Wang Chen in the Brambles Mountain.
"I understand!" Hearing Lin Zhan's confirmation, Wang Chen's heart became even heavier. Moreover, after careful inspection, Wang Chen found that these people's weapons, money, and everything else had been stolen. Not a single drop was left! This was enough to prove that these people were killed because of money.
The evil money had triggered the greed and killing intent of their teammates.
Sure enough, this was a place where danger lurked in every corner, and danger lurked everywhere. It was heaven, but it was also hell. This sentence couldn't be more true.
"Roar … …"
Just as Wang Chen raised his head and prepared to leave, a wild beast's roar sounded. Immediately, he saw a yellow figure pouncing towards Wang Chen.
Rank 2 high-grade demonic beast, Lion Tiger Beast!
Seeing the demonic beast pouncing towards him, Wang Chen was shocked and quickly jumped to the side.
Lion Tiger Beast, rank 2 high-grade demonic beast, equivalent to a rank 9 true martial artist's strength! The demonic beast in front of him had a lion's head and a tiger's body. Its body was huge, three meters long, and about 1.8 meters tall. Information about this demonic beast flashed through his mind. Wang Chen took a deep breath.
Sure enough, this was the Brambles Mountain. Danger was everywhere. Just as he was lost in thought when he saw these corpses, this demonic beast had unknowingly appeared beside him.
Looking at the Lion Tiger Beast in front of him with traces of blood on its mouth and claws, Wang Chen suddenly came to a realization!
Turning his head to look at the corpses at the side, he instantly understood. This fellow was probably preparing to eat just now. In the end, it sensed Wang Chen's arrival and hid at the side. At this moment, it took advantage of Wang Chen's daze to attack.
He didn't expect to meet a rank 2 high-grade demonic beast like the Lion Tiger Beast at the edge of the Brambles Mountain. What about deeper in?
No wonder so many adventurers came out every time, there would always be people who lost their lives here. Wang Chen tried hard to calm himself down and took a deep breath.
Using the Ghostly Steps, he dodged the Lion Tiger Beast's attack. Wang Chen's body suddenly stopped and he used the recoil force to turn around and suddenly kicked out, "Stone Crushing Kick!"
With a light roar, he twisted his waist and kicked out.
Entering the ranks of a rank 7 true martial artist, Wang Chen's current strength was not inferior to any rank 9 true martial artist. Once he opened the Door of Opening, he would be comparable to a rank 1 Martial Artist! He wasn't too worried about the Lion Tiger Beast.
"Roar …"
Seeing Wang Chen lift his leg, the Lion Tiger Beast let out a light roar and nimbly jumped to the side, dodging Wang Chen's attack.
Looking at the human in front of it, the Lion Tiger Beast bared its teeth, crystal clear saliva hanging from the corner of its mouth, its eyes cold. Against such prey, it would never give up.
Squeak … The Lion Tiger Beast suddenly exerted force on its four hooves, creating a sharp sound as it landed on the ground and pounced towards Wang Chen again. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its sharp fangs. The sharp claws on its claws that were more than 10 centimeters long spread out like a tiger as it pounced towards Wang Chen's throat.
"Twenty Overlapping Wave Palms!" Looking at the Lion Tiger Beast pouncing towards him, Wang Chen's eyes were cold. With a light roar, he displayed the Twenty Overlapping Wave Palms.
"Bang bang bang …"
Using the Ghostly Steps, he dodged the Lion Tiger Beast's attack. With the strength of the Elemental Ghost, he flashed to the side of the Lion Tiger Beast and used the Twenty Overlapping Wave Palms.
Roar …
A blood-curdling scream resounded, and the Lion Tiger Beast was ruthlessly bombarded.
Succeeding in one move, Wang Chen pounced forward again, the longsword on his back in his hand. "Vast Waves!"
With a light roar, the Advanced Earth-class Sword Technique: Profound Sky Slash, the first move, Vast Waves, was executed.
Like waves, like tides. Wherever it passed, the trees were all broken. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the Lion Tiger Beast and slashed downwards.
How could the Lion Tiger Beast be slashed so easily? Seeing Wang Chen's sword slashing towards it, the Lion Tiger Beast suddenly leaped up, nimbly changing its direction and pouncing towards Wang Chen once again.
"Vast Waves Whirling!" Using the Ghostly Steps, Wang Chen took a deep breath and made a 180-degree turn. With a sudden burst of force from his wrist, the longsword spun around violently, displaying the whirling attack of the 36 Vast Waves.
Wang Chen slashed towards the Lion Tiger Beast again.
"Roar …"
With a painful roar, fresh blood splattered everywhere, and the Lion Tiger Beast gradually lay on the ground powerlessly. This time, because it was in the air, it was unable to dodge Wang Chen's attack and died on the spot.
Although it was equivalent to the strength of a Rank Nine True Martial Artist, hunting a low-level demonic beast was much easier than defeating a Martial Artist of the same strength. Only when a demonic beast had developed enough intelligence would it be harder to kill it than defeating a Martial Artist of the same level.
Pulling out his longsword and letting the blood drip, Wang Chen quickly took out a small knife and began to collect the blood.
The Lion Tiger Beast's hide could be sold, and it would not be a problem to sell it in the outside world for ten gold coins. All the gold coins on him had been used up last night, and Wang Chen could be said to be penniless now. If he wanted to survive, he had to rely on his own strength to earn enough gold coins.
At the same time, the rise of the Wang family in the future would also require gold coins, so he began his stage of accumulating gold coins.
After collecting these things, Wang Chen was ready to turn around and leave. The smell of blood and the battle just now could attract other demonic beasts or Adventurers at any time.
Those Adventurers definitely wouldn't mind ambushing Wang Chen at this time.
The rule of survival in the Thorns Mountain was: "Never stay in the same place. After the battle, no matter what the situation is, leave as soon as possible."
Wang Chen strictly followed this rule.
However, just as Wang Chen was about to turn around and leave, three figures suddenly appeared behind him and pounced on him as fast as a sudden clap of thunder.
"Puchi …"
Wang Chen didn't even have time to dodge. His waist was cut open, and blood gushed out instantly.
A burning pain spread and went straight to the bottom of his heart.
"Adventurers!" Shocked, Wang Chen couldn't care less about the pain and scolded fiercely.
At this moment, Ghost Steps were pushed to the extreme, and with a few flashes, he dodged the attacks of the sneak attackers. Then, he pulled a distance of twenty to thirty meters and looked at the opposite side with vigilance.
The three Adventurers were about 30 years old. The slightly wrinkled one was sturdy and strong, while the other two were thin and shrewd, giving Wang Chen a strong sense of threat.
Sure enough, in a place like the Thorns Forest, any creature could be an enemy, and there would never be a distinction between the same kind. This time, Wang Chen had already been attacked by the Adventurers.
The burning pain in his waist constantly stimulated Wang Chen's nerves.
Stage 9 True Martial Artist, one of them was actually a Stage 9 True Martial Artist. At the moment of the attack just now, Wang Chen had already determined this person's strength.
"Hehe, kid, not bad, you actually managed to dodge our sneak attack! Hand over your storage space, and we can spare your life. Otherwise … "
Looking at Wang Chen and the wound on his waist that was gushing with blood, the thin adventurer sitting next to him said coldly with a smirk on his face.
These three people were the three Adventurers who followed Wang Chen in the shop last night.
