Chapter Nineteenth: Beasts Everywhere

  Continuing forward, and going deeper for about three or four miles, Xiao Gu entered the primitive old forest area. Thousand-year-old ancient trees were intertwined with each other, hundred-year-old vines entwined around them. Here, the trees were dense and wolves roamed, ferocious beasts appeared and disappeared.

  Xiao Gu proceeded with extreme caution, this place gave him a feeling of extreme danger, making him very uneasy.

  "Roar......"

  A ferocious leopard with spotted fur let out a loud roar, baring its sharp teeth as it pounced on Xiao Gu. He spun around, swung his leg and kicked out with all his might, sending the leopard tumbling to the ground.

  This ferocious beast has a cultivation base of at least three realms above that of Nie Feng, it's truly terrifying!

  Just then, a loud roar came from not far away, and a five-meter-tall two-headed ape rushed over, its tall body, black fur, and ferocious double head making it look particularly frightening.

  Xiao Gu didn't want to provoke some strange beasts, so he quickly turned around and rushed into the mountain forest, while the leopard faced off against a pair of two-headed apes.

  A war of survival between the two began, but it didn't last long.

  "Roar......"

  The leopard's roar suddenly stopped, Xiao Gu turned his head back and took a quick glance, seeing a bloody scene, the two-headed ape had actually torn the spotted leopard apart, its tall and majestic body covered with black fur was splattered with blood.

  A scene like a purgatory, extremely eerie!

  Xiao Gufeng sped away like a thunderbolt, becoming much more cautious and avoiding various strange beasts, not wanting to confront them directly.

  Not far ahead, he saw many legendary ferocious beasts that only appeared in legends, and also saw many bloody scenes. He had seen a winged divine leopard tearing apart two giant elephants; a giant python with a single horn swallowing three fierce tigers...

  In short, slaughter is too frequent here, all kinds of strange and bizarre beasts devour each other everywhere!

  Moreover, the barbarism here has already exceeded Xiao Gu's imagination. If the immortal realm is a primitive zone, then this place is a barbaric zone, where civilization is not visible and killing is long-standing. This trial ground is absolutely not a benevolent place!

  Walking in the endless primeval forest, Xiao Gu often saw some residual bones, including those of tigers, lions and elephants, as well as many unknown giant skeletons, 7-8 meters or over 10 meters long fragmented frames, hidden among the grass and trees, looking particularly terrifying.

  "Roar......"

  A loud roar suddenly came from the depths of the mountain, the sound was deafening, piercing gold and splitting rocks, all the way to the clouds! Frightened all beasts wailed in unison, a great chaos erupted in the depths of the mountain.

  Xiao Gu was also shocked, his blood and energy surging, his body trembling violently, his eardrums almost bursting.

  The legendary Dragon's Roar is nothing more than this?!

  This roar was no less than the howl of a ferocious beast from ancient times! It's hard to imagine what kind of fierce beast it is.

  Xiao Gu's heart was secretly shocked, on the outskirts of the island, he had already discovered such a powerful ferocious beast, this island in the sea was indeed mysterious and unparalleled. Now that he was injured and hadn't recovered, he didn't dare to venture forward again, and began to return along the original route.

  He plans to stay here for a while and explore this place thoroughly before heading deeper.

  This place is more like a floating continent in the sea than an island, vast to the point of being unimaginable. More importantly, this land is somehow unable to be flown over, as if there's some mysterious power suppressing everything!

  Finally, Xiao Gu found a suitable place to recover from his injuries on the outskirts of the island. It was only two or three miles away from the beach, extremely secluded, and there were powerful ferocious beasts nearby, which made ordinary ferocious beasts dare not approach easily.

  There is a freshwater river here, with a small lake in the center. The environment is extremely quiet and peaceful, and Xiao Gu is very satisfied.

  A brook like a jade belt flows gently, accumulating into a small lake as clear and transparent as a blue gemstone in the woods. The tall and dense forest surrounds the small lake, blocking out the scorching sun and casting large areas of shade.

  The small lake is surrounded by wisteria, with various unknown flowers blooming in large clusters, their purple and red hues swaying gently, filling the air with fragrance, accompanied by the melodious songs of birds, making it a truly wonderful place to live.

  In addition, there are many fruit trees nearby, not only tall coconut trees, but also slightly shorter figs, apricots, lychees and so on. The branches are laden with fruit, emitting a sweet fragrance that wafts through the forest, making it especially enticing.

  Xiao Gu discovered a bamboo forest not far away, and with the use of one day's time, he built a hut made of bamboo and rattan by the emerald-like small lake. Inside, he set up a bamboo bed, and the residence filled with lush greenery was permeated with the fragrance of grass and trees, feeling extremely elegant and comfortable.

  From then on, Xiao Gu settled down here and lived in peace for three consecutive days, cultivating his body and mind every day.

  Lao Wangba kept wandering around this area, and every time he came back, Xiao Gu would find that his body carried a mysterious medicinal fragrance. It was clear that he had stolen the spiritual objects of those barbaric beasts, so from time to time, Xiao Gu could hear the angry roars of the barbaric beasts.

  Generally, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is guarded by ferocious beasts. The more precious it is, the stronger the guarding beast will be. Fortunately, Greedy Heaven still has some sense, and did not bring the ferocious beast here.

  On the third day evening, the weather started to change!

  It has to be said that the weather at sea is unpredictable. By afternoon, the originally cloudless sky suddenly turned gray and gloomy, with large patches of dark clouds rushing in quickly.

  Rumbling

  Dark clouds billowed, above the island, lightning flashed and thunder boomed, purple lightning seemed like a divine roar, with an apocalyptic majesty descending, even Xiao Gu had never seen such a terrifying thunder, the entire sky was shining with a purple glow, leaving people in awe!

  Soon, the sky began pouring down heavy rain. Xiao Gu was glad that he had built a bamboo hut in time, otherwise it would have been a lot of trouble!

  The thunder rumbled loudly, Xiao Gu found it hard to calm down, and could only gaze out of the window with a hint of melancholy.

  Not long after leaving the mortal world, he was uneasy in his heart. On this stormy evening, he thought a lot.

  That ethereal woman, always with a faintly luminous smile, would comfort and cherish herself, never abandoning or leaving herself behind. Even if she were to be despised by the world and become a worthless outcast, she would still be willing to spend her life alone with herself.

  Is she all right now?

  And also, one's own parents, really just died from an accident? They were top-notch strongmen in the mortal realm, how could they possibly die so easily, both of them.

  Moreover, what he heard from them himself, what did it all mean, everything made Xiao Gu very perplexed!

  The fairy world is good, but after all, it's not one's own home.

  No matter how unbearable the human world is, after all, it's where he grew up. For one's hometown, unless you have a heart of stone, it's hard to forget, even if there are painful memories that can't be looked back on in your hometown!

  Roar! Howl!

  Two thunderous roars shook the earth and shattered Xiao Gu's contemplation, their magnitude surpassing even the thunderclap, causing Xiao Gu to feel as if the rain itself was trembling.

  What's going on? Xiao Gu furrowed his brow, such a powerful beast, there should only be one around here. One of them was the one close to Xiao Gu, which could be told from its roar, but where was the other one? There shouldn't be another one nearby!

  After some thought, he decided it would be better to go and take a look. The two fierce beasts seemed to be in a state of fury, and he didn't know why they were fighting each other.

  Braving the heavy rain, Xiao Gu began to sprint rapidly towards the direction where the roar was coming from. Raindrops falling three feet away from Xiao Gu would automatically dissipate.

  He took a step of ten meters, this was a kind of footwork that Xiao Gu had learned from the mortal realm, its speed was extremely terrifying, like the legendary divine ability, shrinking the earth to inches!

  The place where the roar came from was not far from Xiao Gu, and in a short moment, Xiao Gu had already arrived.

  Hiding among the lush branches of a thousand-year-old ancient tree, Xiao Gu looked into the distance.

  A giant silver ape with a height of over 10 meters, its blood-red eyes seemed like copper bells, and there were bloodstains on its long fangs. Its silver fur was like steel needles, ferocious and terrifying. This was Xiao Gu's old neighbor.

  On the other hand, there was a huge snake with a length of about 40 to 50 meters. Of course, it's not quite right to call it a big snake, because it actually had two claws and a sharp horn, its whole body covered in black scales, each one as large as a washbasin!

  Lantern-like eyes, in this darkness, are extremely terrifying, green and oily!

  This is actually an existence that will evolve into a Jiaolong!

  Roar, the two clashed together, the surrounding forest fell, earth and wood turned to ash, bloody and violent!

  At this point, Xiao Gu's eyes were actually aimed at another side. If there was no benefit to be gained, the two would never engage in a life-and-death battle!

  Sure! Here is the translation:

  As expected, within a thousand meters of Xiao Gu, a small green grass swayed gently, emitting a faint fragrance.
