Chapter 21: The Depths of Desolation

  Want to be a canary? You need the strength of a canary. How dare you threaten Xiao Gu, who is Xiao Gu? He's a fierce man who dares to scold Tian Wang in person and even takes action, let alone three stinky bugs!

  Alas, the robbery was unsuccessful, and instead, he lost his life.

  Thinking of the current situation, Xiao Gu's head suddenly ached. Someone had escaped and he himself had marks on his body, so he must have been exposed. The only choice was to leave this place.

  Sheng Tian Wang that arrogant madman doesn't need to be said, even Xue Wu Xiao also wants to take action against himself, what a super big trouble!

  Thinking of this, Xiao Gu quickly returned along the original road, preparing to find Lao Wang Ba and then hurry away. This place was fraught with danger, not to mention others, even the silver giant ape that lived next door might not be safe anymore.

  Just as he had walked halfway, a shadow approached quickly from afar and soon appeared before Xiao Gu.

  It's daylight robbery!

  "I'm telling you, young man, what kind of thing have you done to anger the heavens and provoke the people? How did it end up like this?" Old Wang Ba still had that same arrogant look on his face.

  Xiao Gu rubbed his nose and then told the whole story again.

  "What's this? Quick, little one, quickly bring out that grass and take a look," Old Wang Ba shouted loudly as soon as he heard.

  Xiao Gu was speechless, but still took it out. The small grass, half a foot high, emitted a refreshing and elegant fragrance that soothed the heart. It had been picked for so long, yet not a single withered leaf could be seen.

  Brush, Old Wang disappeared in an instant and bit onto Xiao Gu's spiritual object.

  Unfortunately, Xiao Gu had long been prepared and instantly withdrew, leaving him biting at nothing.

  "I say, Greedy Sky, you're being too unscrupulous, aren't you? You're even snatching things from your own people. Since you're so enthusiastic, I suppose you know what it is? Come on, tell me," Xiao Gu chuckled to himself.

  "Cut it out, just a piece of trash, an ordinary spirit at best, nothing good," Qian Tian said with feigned disdain.

  "Why are you still so excited and rushing over?" Xiao Gu said languidly.

  "Pshaw, old turtle, I was just testing to see if it's poisonous, so as not to poison you," Old Wang said with a straight face.

  "Oh, I see, what a waste of effort. Forget it, might as well eat it anyway. It's still a spiritual object after all, must have some effect," Xiao Gu said with feigned disappointment, and was about to toss it into his mouth.

  "Hey, wait a minute, young man," Old Wang hastily said.

  "What's wrong? Is there something on your mind?" Xiao Gu looked at him with a hint of a smile.

  "Alright, you win, I admit defeat," Old Wang finally gritted his teeth, Xiao Gu was really too difficult to fool!

  "This thing is called the Soul Liquid, extremely rare, it's a spiritual medicine for healing wounds. Most injuries can be cured with it, especially its roots and stems, which have unparalleled medicinal power. Moreover, this thing is extremely overbearing, within three feet of it, all living beings' life force will be stripped away." Old Wang said in a depressed tone.

  "But this is obviously a grass, why is it called Linghun Liquid?" Xiao Gu asked in surprise.

  "Because it melts in your mouth, that's how it got its name," Old Wang was heartbroken and didn't want to waste any more words.

  "Hmm, let me try," Xiao Gu lightly tore off half a leaf, threw it into his mouth, and indeed as soon as it entered his mouth it turned into a cool **, spreading throughout his limbs.

  A numb and tingling sensation spread across his back, but in an instant, the wound behind him was healed!

  "This is indeed divine!" Xiao Gu exclaimed with a hearty laugh.

  "Hey, I'm telling you, kid, don't you know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring?!" Old Wang Ba saw his appearance and was very displeased.

  "What?" Xiao Gu was baffled.

  "Your turtle grandfather told you, shouldn't you give me half of the Soul Liquid?" Old Wang Ba's green bean eyes rolled wildly.

  "What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Gu shrugged.

  "Wipe, how can you say it's nothing to do with you? If it weren't for me, you'd definitely be munching on this treasure like a snack! How can you say it's nothing to do with you?" Old Wang was furious.

  The two men began their journey of quarreling over spoils.

  In the end, Xiao Gu gave him two leaves, although Tian Tian was very dissatisfied, but had to accept this fact.

  One night's time destroyed a large area of forest, and many ferocious beasts died in last night's chaos, leaving the primeval forest in disarray.

  The morning glow shines brightly, the radiant light shines through the forest, and the dew on the leaves and flowers is reflected in a crystal clear manner, like pearls rolling around. The fresh air brings a refreshing breeze.

  It's a refreshing morning, after last night's terrible storm, finally ushering in a peaceful and serene morning.

  Xiao Gu and Tan Tian walked on the withered branches and leaves, feeling the freshness after the rain, and hurriedly rushed to the depths of the primeval forest.

  Wild and desolate mountains, with peaks rising one upon another, ancient trees reaching for the sky, and savage beasts roaming freely in between. Here, marshes and muddy bogs are everywhere, shrouded in dense forests; deep streams and precipitous gorges, with steep cliffs and overhanging walls stretching out wantonly...

  Xiao Gu and Tan Tian traveled together, their hearts racing with fear, as all sorts of powerful and bizarre beasts emerged one after another, ferocious beyond measure, giving off an aura that made them feel like fleeing in terror even from a distance.

  After traveling about 40 or 50 miles, Xiao Gu encountered trouble for the first time. It was a giant centipede with legs as long as 7-8 meters, dozens of legs moving rapidly, making Xiao Gu's hair stand on end.

  The cultivation of this centipede is probably around the fifth level of Jieyuan, its combat power is strong, but Xiao Gu doesn't have to worry too much about it. However, those dozens of long legs make him very uncomfortable. Whoever sees such a thing will likely feel disgusted, let alone when it's magnified several thousand times.

  It's okay, the conflict didn't happen, probably because Xiao Gu's aura was too strong, so the big centipede let Xiao Gu and Lao Wang Ba leave safely.

  After advancing more than ten miles again, someone finally blocked the way!

  This is a robust man with muscles all over his body and a strong sense of power.

  He was very arrogant and seemed to despise Xiao Gu. When he saw Xiao Gu, his nose was still pointing upwards.

  Xiao Gu was direct and straightforward, striking as soon as he came, without any nonsense.

  The Five Elements Fist pierced through the void and struck straight ahead.

  Boom!

  The muscular man was also extraordinary, punching out a punch that actually blocked Xiao Gu's attack. Both were in the fourth stage of Nirvana, but the gap between them was not ordinary.

  Boom, boom, boom! The two didn't use any magical powers, only relying on their physical bodies to engage in a fierce battle. It was a brutal and merciless fight, with every punch landing squarely on flesh, producing loud thuds.

  This is not flesh, it's just a cowhide drum!

  Boom, the two clashed in a single blow, each separating. Xiao Gu's expression was calm and collected, but Muscle Man's mouth twitched, his fist had bloodstains, and even white bones could be seen.

  "What a strong physique," the muscular man said.

  "You're not bad either," Xiao Gu said calmly, admiring that this person could actually compare with him in terms of physical strength, and he could sense that this person didn't have the intention to kill.

  "I hope you won't die, and in the future we'll have a good fight. My name is Wu Tongtian." As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Xiao Gu's sight.

  "It's inexplicable," said Old Wang lazily.

  "No, he's very strong, at least stronger than me. He sealed his own strength, that's why he's not my opponent," Xiao Gu said solemnly.

  "Never mind him, let's head into the deepest part. There are good things there. If we're late, someone might get there first," Old Wang urged.

  Xiao Gu looked deeply at the place where Wu Tong Tian had left and then departed with large strides.

  This time, those who entered this place are absolutely not just a few strong people. Many strong people are very low-key, just like Wu Tongtian just now.

  He is known as the King of Heaven, one of the few young generation's strongmen who have been crowned king. Xiao Gu even suspects that he has already entered the realm of Nirvana Six Heavy.

  All the way here, Xiao Gu didn't rush either. This place is desolate and barren, with tigers roaring and wolves running wildly, and countless rare and precious beasts. Adding to that Old Wang Ba's extreme greed, wanting to hurry up was impossible.

  In the blink of an eye, it was more than a dozen days. During this period, Xiao Gu could temper himself and constantly fight against various powerful fierce beasts, such as blood-colored ants, double-headed snakes, golden eagles, and many other strange beasts that couldn't be named.

  With a lifesaving treasure on him, he didn't worry about himself suffering from an incurable injury.

  Xiao Gu was well aware that this bit of strength might be enough to defend himself against Sheng Tian Wang, but if he wanted to engage in a fierce battle with him, or even defeat him, it would not be enough. At the very least, they would need to be on the same level.

  Before that, he was already a fifth-level Nevan. Entering this place, these proud sons of heaven would definitely advance further, so Xiao Gu's time was very urgent.

  Days passed like this and finally one afternoon, I saw a different view.
