Chapter 387: Second Opening (2)
Chu Xiaomu thought to himself, I have been practicing the Force for the past month except for occasionally eating and sleeping, and you actually said that I was just careless about it. I couldn't help feeling discouraged.
The Beast Spirit Ancestor glared at Chu Xiaomu again and said, "Are you waiting for dawn? Why don't you sit down?"
Chu Xiaomu reacted immediately and quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes wide open, waiting for the ancestor to perform the "Illusion Opening" technique on him.
But he saw him clasping his hands and pointing in the air around him. The light and shadow body gradually became scattered and blurred, and finally turned into a ball of smoke emitting purple light.
Then the smoke stretched out a sharp corner and suddenly drilled into Chu Xiaomu's eyes.
Chu Xiaomu was startled and quickly leaned back to avoid it, but unexpectedly he bumped into someone.
The man yelled, "Wood, what are you doing? Why are you bumping into me?!"
When I looked back, I saw that he was staring at me with his eyes wide open. It was the hot-tempered Zhou Wei De.
Chu Xiaomu asked: "Brother Deer, why are you here?"
Zhou Weide's eyes widened and he asked, "Where can I go if I'm not here?"
"Where are Xiao Yi'er, Xiao Gang and the others?"
Zhou Weide pointed back and said, "They are all there. Thanks to you for bringing us to this great place. It's much better than Lone Pine Ridge."
Chu Xiaomu looked in the direction of his finger and saw Yingdan, Su Mishun, Zhou Weiyi, Wangang, Zhang Hou, Lin Zhen, Wu Sheng and Ling Weidou sitting around a crackling bonfire, chatting and laughing happily.
A fat wild deer was roasted on the fire, and the fat aroma was everywhere. The fat was roasted by the firewood, dripping into the fire, and the flames flashed, making a slight popping sound. The tempting aroma spread in the air, making people salivate.
When the eight people from Yingdan saw Chu Xiaomu, they all smiled and waved at him.
Chu Xiaomu held Zhou Weide and asked, "Brother Deer, where... where is this?"
Zhou Weide found it incredible and said, "Are you stupid? You brought us in, and you don't even know where this is?"
"Tell me, where is it?"
"Of course it's the Beast Mountain, where else could it be? Look at the little beasts all over the ground, the fruits on the trees, and the clear water. Where else could it be except the Beast Mountain?" As he spoke, he pointed around and above his head.
Chu Xiaomu looked around and saw that he was in a forest. It was early morning and there were many wild animals under the trees, including spotted deer, muntjacs, wild sheep, wild boars, etc. They were all plump and juicy, eating grass and ripe wild fruits on the ground. They were not too far away and seemed not afraid of people at all. The trees were full of fruits of various colors, red, yellow, green and purple, in clusters, strings, and individual fruits. They were all round and shiny, and as juicy as a pool of water, making people salivate.
The place where everyone was standing was a hillside, not too steep nor too sloping. It was a forest of ancient trees, with dense branches and leaves, and abundant fruits, which blocked out the scorching sun. The ground under the trees was relatively open, with a thick and soft layer of green grass on the ground, which was very comfortable to step on, as if walking on clouds.
Zhou Weide asked, "The venison will be cooked soon. Do you want to eat some?"
Yingdan and others shouted in unison: "Xiaomu, come and eat with us. The venison is already roasted and smells delicious!" Zhang Hou was holding a short knife and was cutting pieces of venison and handing them to the people around him.
Chu Xiaomu said happily: "Okay, I'll be there right away!" Then he walked towards where the eight people were.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a small branch cage about half a foot long and wide hanging on a tree at the bottom of the slope. The cage was swaying, and there was a thin rope attached to it, which went straight to a small wooden stick stuck next to Wangang. The branch also swayed gently with the shaking of the cage.
Chu Xiaomu was shocked. He ran over, pulled out the branch stuck in the ground and threw it far away, saying, "Everyone, stop eating. Come with me!"
Yingdan, Zhang Hou and others were all stunned. They stopped what they were doing and stared at Chu Xiaomu without blinking.
Zhou Weide said behind him: "Why don't you eat the delicious roasted venison? It would be a pity to throw it away. We haven't eaten such delicious venison for a long time."
Chu Xiaomu said anxiously: "Anyway, we can't eat anymore, everyone just listen to me and follow me!"
Zhou Weide said: "We have always listened to you. You said to go to Bicheng, so we went to Bicheng. You said to go to Nandingjun, so we went to Nandingjun. Now you said to go to Beast Mountain, so we followed you..."
The eight people around the fire were still staring at Chu Xiaomu motionlessly, as if waiting for his explanation.
Chu Xiaomu knew that a great danger was approaching, but his mind was blank, and he didn't know what the upcoming danger was. He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Weide patted Chu Xiaomu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaomu, if there is really danger, you go first, and we will all protect you." Suddenly, even his expression changed. He was no longer the irritable one with glaring eyes and pouting lips, but calm, gentle and composed.
Chu Xiaomu yelled: "How can this be possible?! I don't want you to block for me, you will all die!"
As expected, the enemy's voice came from behind: "That's right, they will all die, and right away!"
Chu Xiaomu looked back and saw two people with strange eyes wearing dark red clothes, staring at Zhou Weide, Zhou Weiyi and others with their round strange eyes. One of them had grayish-white sunken eyes, and was Rotten Eyes, one of the ten generals of the Eye Clan; the other had brown-red round eyes with thin pupils, and was Snake Eyes, one of the ten generals. Both looked very ferocious and weird.
Zhou Weide pulled Chu Xiaomu behind him and said, "Xiaomu, run! We will block it for you."
I don't know how, but Zhou Weide suddenly got on his horse, holding a long spear in his right hand, and rushed towards the two strange-eyed men. He rushed about three or four feet, and suddenly fell straight off the horse. A dark hole as big as a fist appeared on his chest, which was gradually expanding.
Then Zhou Weiyi, Yingdan, Su Mishun and the other eight people mounted their horses and rushed towards Rotten Eyes and Snake Eyes without saying a word.
Chu Xiaomu's heart was beating violently. He rushed to the front of the crowd to stop them, but the eight people still rushed through him. He was so anxious that he shouted loudly from behind: "Run back, don't go up, don't go up! You...you will all die!"
But they didn't listen and rushed forward without hesitation...
Chu Xiaomu stared blankly as Zhou Weiyi, Zhang Hou, Wu Sheng, Ling Weidou... they fell off their horses one by one, with fist-sized holes burned on their chests. Black blood dripped onto the ground, staining the thick leaves on the ground black, staining the entire forest black...
