"Brother Guan, I'm going to find two horses to pull the cart for you." As soon as Gu Weigang said this, Guan Heng saw the Ghost Swallowing Tiger pulling the cart with a wine jar coming back. He immediately said: "No, take the empty cart." Just put the car on my giant tiger, it can run fast and come and go quickly."
Everyone did as they were told, but the Ghost Swallowing Tiger was a little unhappy when he saw that he was hitched to a car again. It glanced at Guan Heng, which seemed to mean: I am a dignified Ghost Swallowing Tiger, and you actually Let me do these tasks that only a rogue can do? !
"Stop complaining."
As an old partner, Guan Hengyan didn't know what Tunguihu was thinking. He suddenly sat on the car's shaft, and then let Ruotao sit on the other side. Guan Heng said casually: "As long as you finish pulling After this trip to the ancient tree, you will definitely get extra rewards when you come back. The villagers here are so enthusiastic, and you will have as many feasts as you want."
"Ouch? Ouch--" After hearing that he could have a hearty meal, the attitude of the ghost-eating tiger immediately changed. The giant tiger stood up like lightning, and "miso miso miso" had already run away within a stone's throw.
Ruotao was caught off guard and was almost thrown out of the car: "Uh-huh - it's too fast!"
While Guan Heng pulled the reins of the cart, he shouted loudly: "Asshole, don't get so excited when you hear there is food, hold on! Do you hear? Hold on steady, if the cart overturns, I will I’ll give you a good beating!”
"Quack, quack—" The snake-like bird in the sky also fluttered its wings and flew high behind them, flying straight to the northwest.
Just like that, after a while, Guan Heng, together with the snake-like bird and the ghost-eating tiger pulling the cart, arrived at the dense ancient forest five miles away.
"Stop -" Guan Heng shouted softly, and the Ghost Swallowing Tiger immediately stopped. Guan Heng, who turned over to get off the car, took off the noose on his body. Guan Heng then waved to it and the Elephant Snake Bird. : "Let's go."
"Eh? Young Master, did you hear any special noise?" Ruotao suddenly stopped and said, "It's on the left side of the woods, it seems..." Guan Heng suddenly said, "I heard it too, it should be What's the fight about? Let's go over and have a look."
At the same time, on the other side of the ancient forest, three hunters from a nearby tribe were roaring and fighting fiercely with a monster.
"ah--"
"Poof!" With a loud roar, the stocky hunter's three copper prongs instantly dug into the opponent's body, but they could not be pulled out after an instant. The monster screamed and clawed out with a roar, grabbing the wind. The stocky hunter was hit in the middle of the head, face, chest and abdomen. "Pfft!" The man raised his head and howled miserably. His face was scratched to pieces, and his lower abdomen was violently torn apart. He was suddenly lifted open and a large red mist shot out.
"Second brother?!" The tall and thin hunter roared with tears in his eyes: "Monster, kill you to avenge my brother! Uh-huh--" Before he could finish his words, the tall and thin hunter struck hard with his spear, With a "chi" sound, it was thrust into the monster's upper body.
"Ah ah -" The long blade of another short-bearded hunter also took the opportunity to fall on the monster's forehead. However, what is strange is that after the monster with black hair was hit hard, there was not a drop of blood. It splashed out, as if what the two hunters had chopped and chipped was just a piece of wood.
"Chichijiji—" the monster roared, and its claws suddenly attacked left and right. "Click!" The tall and thin hunter's left arm was suddenly torn off by the opponent, and a puff of red mist suddenly sprayed to the ground.
The other claw is extremely sharp and goes straight into the short-bearded hunter's neck and throat. If it hits him, his throat will be broken and he will die.
"stop!"
"Pah!" Guan Heng, who came from more than ten feet away, saw that he could not get close to rescue him. He immediately fired an arrow with his snow-like bow. The powerful arrow instantly spun rapidly through the air and shot with a "bang" sound. Hitting the monster's claw, it was immediately crushed to pieces.
"Chichichichi——" The monster screamed in pain immediately after being hit by the arrow, but when its arm shook, there was only a soft "chila" sound, and a brand new arm and claw suddenly rushed out from the place where the severed limb was. out.
"Has the power of regeneration?!" Guan Heng immediately shouted: "Like a snake and bird, stop it!"
"Quack!!" The snake-like bird soared in the air, swooped down suddenly, and slammed into the black-haired monster with all its strength. "Bang!" The monster took this move and immediately "spiked" "Take seven or eight steps back in a row.
"Gujiji?!" This black-haired monster obviously felt that he was not as strong as the menacing Elephant Snake Bird. In addition, Guan Heng, Ruotao and the Ghost-Swallowing Tiger were rushing towards him in a menacing manner. This guy was immediately frightened and twisted. He ran away.
"Hey, stop!" Guan Heng was about to chase after him, but he saw one of the hunters in front of him was dead and two injured, and needed first aid. He immediately sent a few goblins to track the black-haired monster, while he and Ruotao stayed where they were.
"Brother, what is that monster?" Guan Heng looked at the tall and thin hunter who was being bandaged by Ruotao, and said casually: "It must not be an ordinary ghost, right? This is a forest of ancient trees with the power to destroy evil. Ordinary ghosts are not Might come here.”
"Well, little brother is right, that black-haired monster is not a ghost, it is... Oops..." When the tall and thin hunter said this, his wounds almost opened due to his excitement, Ruotao said quickly : "Don't talk yet. Your injury is too serious. It's difficult to stop the bleeding from the entire broken arm."
"Let me tell you." Fortunately, the short-bearded hunter next to him was saved in time thanks to Guan Heng's arrow. He was only slightly injured. He explained: "That thing is called the 'Ancient Forest Evil', and it is neither a monster nor a monster." Evil ghosts, they only live around the ancient forest, they don’t usually hurt people’s lives, but they are still extremely vicious.”
"What exactly is the evil creature in the ancient forest?" Guan Heng was filled with doubts.
At this time, the tall and thin hunter took a deep breath and continued: "I heard from the old people in our village that this evil monster seems to be some kind of thousand-year-old tree that has died and merged with the bodies of many randomly captured monsters. They are just derived from it. They do not live low in the ancient forest, but this thing is bloodless and fleshless, just like..."
Guan Heng and Ruotao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in their minds, and they said in unison: "A living corpse, that is - a living corpse!"
"This statement seems very appropriate!"
The two hunters, tall and thin, with short beards, chinned their heads slightly. Guan Heng then asked: "Are there many evil monsters in this ancient forest?"
The short-bearded hunter replied: "We often hunt nearby, and we also know that the other party has a large group, at least... there are twenty or thirty of them, and this time we were lucky enough to meet a lone one. If we met the whole group, , I'm afraid he would have been torn apart long ago, my brother..."
At this point, the two hunters who were preparing to dig a hole to bury the body couldn't help but shed tears.
"Sir, I don't think those evil beasts should be left to harm people." Ruotao whispered at this time: "How about we get rid of them easily?"
"Well, what you said makes sense. Since you have encountered it, you can't ignore it." Guan Heng said to the two hunters who buried the bodies at this time: "Do you want to avenge your relatives?"
