A faint flash of light.
Two young men appeared from the void of space and landed on the ground.
"We're finally safe — — it's currently daytime, we'll rest here until nightfall before returning"
One of the young men spoke with a commanding tone.
He took off his armor, changed into a red robe, then took out a set of bedding and laid it out on the ground.
The other young man responded. He held a longbow in his hand and looked around vigilantly.
The red-robed young man comfortably sat on it and waved his hand:
"Xiao Li, we've returned, there's no need to be too cautious. Come, make me a pot of tea"
The young man called Xiao Li was wearing a set of broken armor, wielding a bow and stood still without moving.
— — – Gu Qing Shan had put on all of the corpse's equipment, and indeed knew how to make tea, and it wasn't a bad one at that.
But he didn't know what kind of tea she wanted to drink.
A breath's worth of time passed.
He opened his mouth and spoke: "I'm coming, but I saw that you were struck in the head by a monster earlier, that's why you fell unconscious — — does your head still hurt?"
This was the truth, the red-robed young man's helmet was broken by the monster and he fell unconscious from the intense impact.
The young man was surprised.
Seeing Xiao Li's concerned expression, he couldn't help but stroke his head.
"Now that you mention it, I do feel a bit of pain in my head" the young man muttered.
"Do you need some medicine?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"No need" the young man waved his hand and pridefully spoke: "Such a small wound isn't going to do anything to me"
— – bam!
An autumn-clear blue sword appeared from behind his back and swiftly struck the back of his neck.
As soon as the sword struck him, a few glows of light appeared around the young man's body in an attempt to protect him.
But the Six Paths Great Mountain sword had the power to cut any Law, so no protective technique could stop it.
The young man trembled a bit before falling unconscious on the bedding.
The sword turned back into Shannu and muttered:
"Your guard is too weak"
"That means this place is very safe" Gu Qing Shan shrugged.
— — – this was a dark and silent cave, the ground was clean and clean without a single speck of dust.
The entrance was locked by a faint light, apparently unable to leave.
Gu Qing Shan was not in a hurry to look around. She walked forward and placed her hand on the boy's forehead.
Soul Searching Art, activate!
Scenes after scenes appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind, allowing him to quickly understand everything about the youth.
Gu Qing Shan's brows gradually relaxed.
After half an incense stick of time.
The youth slowly woke up as he smelled the fragrance of the tea.
"What a great sleep — no, I must have fainted!"
He raised his head abruptly.
He saw that Gu Qing Shan had already brewed the tea and was sitting at the side, looking at him worriedly.
The young man checked the amulets and treasures he had on him.
Everything was fine.
It couldn't have been someone else's attack.
"— I fainted? How long have I been unconscious? "The youth accepted the truth and asked.
"About the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. Young Master, please drink some tea first."
Gu Qing Shan filled up the teacup.
The young man took the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"Little Li, you are indeed loyal. You are the one who saved me in the end. I will remember this."
He patted Gu Qing Shan's shoulder and said.
"No need to worry about it, young master. On the other hand, the wound on your head should be treated as soon as possible" Gu Qing Shan said.
The young man seemed a bit embarrassed.
— — after all, he just said that he was fine, then fainted.
"It's fine, it's just a small problem. Now make something to eat, I don't want to eat dry rations" the young man said.
"Yes"
Gu Qing Shan took out the ingredients and prepared them according to the information in the other party's memories.
— — compared to the cultivation world, this world's cooking skills were relatively simple. Gu Qing Shan had only seen them in his memory, but she had already grasped most of them.
A few moments later.
The meal was ready.
The young man had a good meal.
— — -today's food was still the same, but for some reason, he felt that it was a bit more fragrant than usual.
Gu Qing Shan waited until the young man finished eating before eating his own.
By the time he had cleaned and tidied up everything, the young man had already sat down cross-legged and entered meditation.
Gu Qing Shan silently took out a bow and stood guard next to the cave.
This bow belonged to the dead young man.
After all, the wraiths didn't know that he was actually an expert in archery.
Gu Qing Shan specifically chose such a person to conceal his true identity.
In Heaven Pillar world, the spirits of the infinite worlds had bestowed upon him the most advanced cultivation scriptures, among which were particularly outstanding archery, swordsmanship, and martial arts scriptures.
He only needed to comprehend them to obtain them.
Gu Qing Shan also had the power of three dragons, so with this powerful foundation, it wouldn't be an issue for him to quickly grasp and master both archery and fist techniques.
He himself had used a bow before, and after his soul was released, he even learned a Bygone Era human martial scripture from Lin.
— — -everything had been prepared, only waiting to enter the Wraith realm, but due to a series of coincidences, he ended up in the Tomb of Myriad Beasts.
Time slowly passed.
In the cave. The young man was meditating, while Gu Qing Shan was comprehending archery while keeping an eye on their surroundings.
Nightfall.
The young man stopped meditating.
Seeing how cautious Gu Qing Shan was, he couldn't help but ask: "Little Li, why are you so cautious? As long as we don't go to the surface, there won't be any issues "
"— — not to mention, it's going to be dark soon"
Gu Qing Shan went silent.
In this world, the surface was a place that no one could ever go.
Especially during the day, when the underground caves were the only safe places.
Even so, the only safe place to travel between the caves was nighttime.
"Young master, it's not because of the surface, but because I felt that there was something fishy about your ambush this time" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Little Li, what are you trying to say?" the young man asked in confusion.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Why were you led to the battlefield, then fell into such a dangerous situation?"
The young man who was originally acting nonchalant, suddenly regained his senses as he heard that.
"Other than me, everyone else who could have protected you are already dead" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The young man pondered: "If that's the case, then those who told me that the battle was grand and worth watching were all suspicious …"
Gu Qing Shan silently nodded.
— — -not bad, he's not stupid, he just didn't react in time.
The young man suddenly touched the bracelet on his left wrist and took out a bow.
He tossed the bow to Gu Qing Shan: "You've done a great service by saving me, I should've rewarded you after we return, but the situation right now is quite unique, so I'll give this bow to you first"
Gu Qing Shan received the bow and compared it with the one in her hand.
Just from the feel and design alone, the difference between the two was like heaven and earth.
He quickly found detailed information about the bow from the man's memory.
This was a famous bow — — -
Gu Qing Shan explained: "Gongzi, this is the 'Eagle of the Moon', one of the 13 famous bows of our School of Fei Yu, I'm not strong enough to receive it"
"Use it first, you'll have to return it to me when we return" the young man replied.
Gu Qing Shan froze.
Hey, that's not interesting at all.
At this point, the faint light at the entrance of the cave slowly faded away.
"It's already nighttime, let's go" the red-robed young man ordered.
"Yes, young master"
Gu Qing Shan stood up and released his inner sight.
Thinking of something, he suddenly turned around and asked the red-robed young man: "Young master, how's your head?"
The red-robed young man impatiently replied: "It's fine, it's fine, let's go back quickly, you lead the way"
Bam!
A long sword struck the back of his neck like lightning.
The young man trembled and fainted again.
"Gongzi" Shannu's voice came from the sword.
"Hm, hide yourself first, I'll take a look" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Yes"
The sword silently disappeared behind him.
Gu Qing Shan left the cave and stood in the dark tunnel for a few moments.
A few masked black-clothed men were rushing toward them at high speed.
As Gu Qing Shan smiled and was about to say something, the leader of the masked men had already ordered:
"Leave no one alive!"
"Yes!"
The masked men shouted in unison.
The smile on Gu Qing Shan's face froze.
Since they've already said that, there's no other way.
He begrudgingly raised his bow.
Leave no one alive?
If that's the case — — -
The longbow named 'Eagle to the Moon' in his hand suddenly disappeared and was replaced by another dark green longbow.
— — the Bow of Fallen Souls.
This was the bow that Lady Fusi obtained from the bronze palace of [Chaos], the ultimate weapon of [Chaos].
Gu Qing Shan raised the bow, held his breath, and stood still.
In the blink of an eye, his hand moved like blurred images as he drew the bow.
A series of thunderous noises resounded.
The dark green streak of light flashed and disappeared without a trace.
One breath later.
Everyone was hit, but a few managed to avoid their vitals.
— — after all, it had been a long time since Gu Qing Shan had used archery, so he needed a bit more time to familiarize himself with it.
But he didn't attack again.
The Bow of Fallen Souls carried the power of [Withering] and [Source of Corrosion], making it unparalleled in power.
Desperate screams resounded one after another.
Sizzling sounds could be heard coming from everyone's bodies, and they were instantly corroded.
A cold gust of wind blew from the depths of the tunnel.
All of a sudden, black figures appeared from the void of space, manifesting as a ferocious giant beast of darkness.
This giant beast only took the blink of an eye to pass through the long tunnel and appear in front of Gu Qing Shan.
「 Despicable archer, I'm going to kill you! 」 the giant beast roared.
Pu — — -
A sword pierced through its body.
The chilly sword radiance blossomed, and like a boundless and nimble river, it obliterated the enormous dark beast.
Such a large-scale attack didn't destroy a single piece of rock in the tunnel at all, his control over sword phantoms could be said to have reached the peak of perfection.
Secret Art, [Torrent]!
The power of the Earth sword, [Earth's Choice]!
The clamor of the tunnel turned into silence.
Other than the constant howling of the cold wind, nothing else happened in the tunnel.
Gu Qing Shan sheathed the Earth sword.
"Although I do intend to become an archer, if you want to kill me in close combat, you're dreaming"
Saying so, he put the Earth sword and the Bow of Fallen Souls away and returned.
Since the matter has been dealt with, it's time to move.
Gu Qing Shan lightly pressed the back of the red-robed young man's head.
He slowly regained consciousness, only regaining his senses after a while.
"I fainted again?" the young man asked.
Gu Qing Shan nodded with a worried expression.
"Young master, look at your head — –" he stuttered.
"Don't say anything, I understand"
