That night, Gu Zheng didn't even bid farewell to Han Xiu before leaving the village. Although the entire city gate was closed, the three of them were like wild geese flying from a corner. They silently landed on the ground and rushed back the way they came.
That place was the closest forest to here. If they could find it, they wouldn't be afraid of trouble. In the forest, there was a small winding river. If they walked along it, they would have to take a long detour, but it was relatively safe.
It was a very strange logic, because the creatures here would never sneak up on other creatures while they were drinking water.
There was no change in weather, no wind, rain, spring, or winter. There was only clean drinking water. At the same time, there was also a large well that would never dry up in the gathering place.
At this moment, Gu Zheng already had some plans. However, just as he left the pile of rocks and stepped onto the soft black soil, the cute pet that had been very quiet all this time suddenly flew up and hovered in front of Gu Zheng. It once again began to make "Wu Wu" sounds.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party's expression and guessed that it was telling him what it wanted him to do.
One must know that in Shuang Er's space, there were a lot of private goods that she had taken out. Gu Zheng did not destroy the stone platform, but he could not enter it to take these things.
However, he still didn't know what it was talking about. Although he tried very hard to guess what it was thinking, his face was blank. It was obvious that he didn't know what it was talking about.
Seeing Gu Zheng like this, the cute pet was clearly excited. It grabbed Gu Zheng's arm and walked in a direction, as if it wanted to force him to follow it.
"Hey, hey, slow down. What are you doing?" Gu Zheng didn't notice and his body was pulled far away. He hurriedly stopped and said.
"Huhu." The cute pet was clearly angry. It made a sound like the wind and its body kept moving up and down in the air. Its body was as flexible as a fish in water.
"Young Master Gu, what's wrong? What did you promise it? Why does it keep asking you why you didn't keep your word? "At this time, Shuang Er rushed over from behind and said with a shocked face.
"I promised to help it before," Gu Zheng explained with a wry smile. However, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Shuang Er in surprise.
"You can understand what it's saying? Or did you guess it? "
"I can understand what he's saying. Ever since I ate that strange thing, I seem to be able to understand the language of many animals. However, it must be those with high intelligence. For example, a chicken. I don't know what it's saying," Shuang 'er replied seriously. She also explained to Gu Zheng that she wasn't omnipotent.
"Then tell it that I have something to do now. I'll definitely help it in a few days. I mean what I say." Gu Zheng was overjoyed. He had indeed promised it before. Although it was just a pet, he would not go back on his word.
When Gu Zheng saw Shuang 'er looking at him strangely, he couldn't help but rub his face. He didn't understand why she was looking at him like that.
"Hurry up, I don't want to be pestered by it all the time. Besides, don't you know me better? I will definitely help it," Gu Zheng said anxiously again.
"It can understand what you're saying. It doesn't need me to pass it on to you," Shuang 'er looked seriously into Gu Zheng's eyes. She held back her laughter as she spoke word by word.
Gu Zheng's expression immediately froze. He turned around awkwardly. When he saw that the cute pet's expression had calmed down and its body was no longer flying around, he realized that he was really stupid.
"Oh, ha! Let's go. Wasn't it a moment of carelessness? " Gu Zheng laughed. The expression on his face immediately disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Zheng shot into the distance like an arrow. The cute pet behind him called out and waved its little arms to quickly follow him.
Shuang'Er looked at the other party's fleeing figure and thought of the other party's awkward appearance just now. She giggled and followed after him. Soon, the few figures rushed into the forest.
.....
On a strange crimson land, a dozen strong men wearing animal skins and holding bone spears were led by an even stronger man as they slowly moved towards the direction of a hillside in front of them.
At the top of the hill, there was a low-lying area. A dozen creatures were lying there, sleeping soundly. Their ears turned from time to time, still alert of their surroundings.
Its body was covered in grey fur, and it had four short limbs. Its body was similar to a common wild rabbit, but there were two sharp teeth in front of its mouth, and it was extremely sharp. The tail behind it was also at least ten feet long.
This was a creature called the Irascible Rabbit. It was not small. Although it looked fierce, it was actually one of the few creatures that were easy to deal with. This was because its reproductive ability was very high, its attack was not very strong, and it was also very timid. It could be said that it was at the bottom of the food chain.
Because its eyes were always red, it looked like a person with red eyes. That was why it was named that way.
These people thought that they were here to hunt these Irascible Rabbits to alleviate the food shortage in the village.
Even if the other party was vigilant, which one of these people wasn't a veteran of hundreds of battles? Their bare feet didn't make a single sound as they stood on the ground. Even if they breathed, one wouldn't necessarily be able to sense it if it wasn't right under their noses.
Further away, there were a few dozen people waiting at any time. They were waiting for the group to attack and then come over to intercept them.
The dozen of them moved very lightly and quickly approached the top. They all stood close to the group. However, at this time, one of the eyes casually looked down from above. The scarlet eyes were immediately stunned.
"Coo Coo"
"Do it!"
The warning from the Irascible Rabbit sounded at the same time as the voice from the human side.
Fortunately, the humans here were already prepared. As soon as the voice sounded, a dozen spears were thrown in the air. They made whooshing sounds as they pierced through the air and covered half the sky above.
After hearing about the crystals, the Irascible Rabbits quickly jumped up. However, there were still a few that did not make it out in time. They were all stuck on the ground by the spears and could not move.
When their soft fur faced the sharp spears, there was almost no defense at all. They could only howl and try to escape from their gathering place. Unfortunately, it was futile.
The rest of the Irascible Rabbits brushed past the spears and ran outside without a word. They did not care about the lives of their own kind.
When the surrounding humans saw this, they surrounded them and threw their spears. Although they were not as elite as the people before, they were still skilled. In an instant, most of them were shot down in mid-air. Only two of the larger ones landed safely.
As soon as they landed, they did not hesitate to line up side by side. At the same time, the sharp teeth in their mouths began to chatter.
"Get out of their way." A person who seemed to be the leader shouted.
After hearing this, the people in front who wanted to block them silently put away the weapons in their hands, giving the two Irascible Rabbits a chance to escape.
The teeth of the two Irascible Rabbits also stopped chattering. They passed through the crowd like the wind and ran into the forest. There were many trees in the forest, which was more convenient for their agile bodies to escape.
Knowing this, everyone's faces became happy. This was a great harvest. However, the leader picked and picked out two Irascible Rabbits that were lighter in his hands. Their legs were only pierced by the spears. They only needed a few days of rest to completely heal.
Once the two smaller Irascible Rabbits were free, they did not show any gratitude. With their injured legs, they rolled and crawled towards the distance.
Some of the members below followed him out for the first time and asked in confusion.
"Leader, it was not easy to catch so many, and the village does not have much reserves this time. Why did you let them go?"
The two injured Irascible Rabbits were not fast. As long as the leader agreed, the two of them would be left here in the next moment.
"No need. Leave two of them. We will have more meat next year. We can't just look at the benefits in front of us." The leader said decisively. Then, he called for the others to start killing the Irascible Rabbits on the ground one by one.
The spear in his hand stabbed into the heads of the Irascible Rabbits, directly killing them. The fur on their bodies could be used to make clothes for the villagers in the future, but everything on their bodies was a treasure.
When the others heard the leader say this, they did not care about the two Irascible Rabbits. Even so, the harvest this time was definitely a great harvest.
The two Irascible Rabbits in their hands did not escape in the direction of the other two. Instead, they chose another route. After a few jumps, they rushed into the forest.
However, as soon as they entered, two extremely frightened cries came from there, immediately attracting everyone's attention. The two Irascible Rabbits hurriedly ran over again.
Perhaps they had lost their minds, but they rushed in the direction of the humans again. Under their shocked gazes, the two Irascible Rabbits ignored the blood dripping from their legs and actually hid behind the leader, trembling. It seemed like they were asking for help from these very powerful creatures.
Unfortunately, they were taller than the leader by more than half and looked very ridiculous.
However, everyone's attention was not on this, because in the depths of the forest in the distance, the leader felt a terrifying aura. Even the others felt their scalps tingle, as if something was about to come from somewhere.
The leader's gaze was fixed in that direction. He was not worried at all about whether the Irascible Rabbits behind him could attack him. He shouted to everyone.
"Everyone, get ready to evacuate at any time. Suicide squad, come out."
After everyone heard this, they suddenly paused and their hands moved faster again. A few people who seemed to have a fierce aura silently stood out. Their calm eyes made people feel a little scared. Each of them had an extra bone knife and a huge bone shield on their bodies compared to the others.
Just as they finished all this, a green figure appeared in front of everyone in the distant forest.
It had four strong limbs and a head that resembled a cheetah's. Its small ears were stuck to its head, and two bright eyes were looking over here. The row upon row of green scales on its body shone with a clear light. One look at its slender body and you could tell that its explosive power was very strong.
"Let's go quickly. Suicide squad, go forward and block it to buy time."
The leader was stunned and immediately shouted to everyone. He secretly felt bitter. How could they be so unlucky to encounter a green beast? This was ranked second only to the Qilin Beast. Its offensive magic was relatively weak, and most of it could only support itself to increase its speed.
However, speed was everything. When its speed reached a certain level, it could be said that its opponent was just a target. Its sharp claws were enough to tear apart everything in its path.
The monster that everyone did not want to encounter the most was probably the green beast, because if they encountered other monsters, at least they could escape.
They were already close to the periphery. Generally speaking, its range of activity was in the innermost area, unlike the Qilin Beast, which ran everywhere. How could it appear here?
"Maybe the smell of blood from the hunt here attracted it." The leader looked at almost half of the corpses that had not been dealt with in time. They could only leave them here. Relatively speaking, human lives were more important.
Everyone was retreating quickly. Only the five people at the front slowly retreated behind them, forming a few simple lines of defense to protect the rear. Each of them held a huge shield in their hands. Although it was useless against the green beast, it still gave them a sense of security.
The two irascible rabbits also followed behind. The leader did not chase them away. At least they could still block it at a critical moment.
The leader could even clearly see the disdainful smile on the green beast's face. He only felt his vision blur, and the green beast suddenly appeared in front of those warm corpses. He did not even see how the green beast appeared there.
"It's over this time." The leader thought, and then hurriedly arranged for some relatively thin and strong youths to be at the back. Because the green beast only casually bit off a few pieces of meat on the ground, it raised its head and looked at them coldly.
Relatively speaking, losing a few people was much better than everyone dying here. Those people also silently listened to the leader's orders. In their eyes, they were already prepared to die.
Under the cruel law of the jungle, everyone knew what to do from a young age. Because if you dared to resist, only death would await you if you went back. Even if you ran away without asking, being alone in the outside world would only lead to faster death. It was better to protect everyone.
Just as the green beast was about to attack, a faint voice rang out in the air.
"You bastard, you made it easy for me to find you. You run really fast."
A figure appeared on the small hill. The leader looked over and saw a handsome man with clear eyes standing on top of it. There was a faint smile on his face, as if he was not afraid of the other party at all.
This man was naturally Gu Zheng. After discovering the other party's tracks, it took them a full two days to find this place and the green beast.
However, the leader did not think about what the other party was doing. Since the other party was courting death, he would just let him be. He hoped that the other party could buy them some time.
He led the group and continued to quickly leave this place. However, there were many people in the group, and everyone was more or less carrying a lot of things. Even if they wanted to be fast, they could not. Otherwise, they would not have let go of the two irascible rabbits in front of them.
Originally, he wanted to throw these things away, but when he saw the figure that suddenly appeared, he held back and decided to observe the situation first.
If these things were thrown away, then the village would starve for a long time. Many of the weak old people would even die.
If this green beast really wanted to kill them all, then it would be useless no matter how far they ran because there was still a day's journey to the village. Such a long time was enough for the other party to slaughter them all. The strength of the village would be reduced by half, and at least half of them would die from starvation.
Without enough people to hunt, without enough food, they would fall into an endless cycle until they reached a balance. A long time ago, this happened more than once in their village. In the legends, there were at least five times, but they survived each time.
The green beast, which was ready to attack, was startled. Its tense body relaxed, and it turned around to look at the weak figure provoking it. How could it tolerate this? It was too lazy to use magic against such a weak creature.
A huge roar came out of its mouth, and the whole area was filled with its mighty and domineering roar. Even half of the leader's team was shaken to the ground by the roar, and the two Irascible Rabbits even fainted. Everyone was thrown off their feet, and the whole team stopped.
The leader hurriedly gave out all kinds of orders, and at the same time, his eyes unconsciously looked up.
Before the roar ended, a shadow was left behind. In the next moment, the green beast's body appeared above the hillside man. Its pair of sharp claws were already raised, and when it was about to die, a green light suddenly flashed in the other party's hand.
The leader clearly saw that after the green light shot into the green beast's body, its body was covered by a layer of green light, and its entire movement was almost very slow.
"The power of darkness." This thought suddenly flashed through the leader's mind. In their eyes, the green light was the power of darkness.
They didn't expect the other party to have the power of darkness, but it was useless against the green beast. Sure enough, in the next moment, a whirlwind suddenly appeared on the green beast's body, and all the green light was instantly blown away, completely disappearing.
If the other party didn't have any other methods, then at most, it could only delay his life, which was completely useless.
While the leader was still sighing over the fall of an outstanding clansman who had the power of darkness, a new situation occurred.
Gu Zheng was actually waiting for this opportunity. The moment his opponent was enveloped by the green light, a blue figure quickly appeared behind him and swallowed a small green ball in mid-air. Its entire body swelled up like a balloon and suddenly became several times bigger. Its entire body looked like a fist bigger than the Green Beast.
The cute pet clapped its hands, and a blue ribbon-like thing appeared in its hands. It slowly and quickly circled around the Cyan Beast. The blue ribbon-like thing flashed again, and disappeared without a trace. It seemed to have no effect at all.
However, Gu Zheng knew that the green beast was dead for sure this time.
After doing all this, the cute pet let out a loud and very unimposing bird cry, and rushed towards the green beast, reaching out its hand to grab the green beast's head.
At this time, the green beast had just dispersed the green mist around its body. According to its original plan, with such a slow speed, it only needed to casually turn around and attack from the side, and the green beast wouldn't even have time to react before it was killed.
The originally swift green beast suddenly realized that its body had slowed down. No matter how it increased its speed, it still couldn't reach half of its peak speed.
In the end, it couldn't dodge the palm strike, and its whole body flew out under the leader's stunned gaze, a few pieces of green scales floating in the air and falling to the ground.
