Chapter 95: Why does this mortal dare to go so deep?
Isn't it obvious that this "magic boots" are some kind of so-called "monk's magic weapon"?
It's just that mortals can also use it.
Therefore, the system must have some functions that he failed to trigger. If it were triggered, perhaps he would be able to practice!
"Oh, it seems I have to go and have a look too."
Gu Heng hurriedly finished the braised meat on the table, took a pot of wine, left some money, and walked towards the south gate of the city.
He still wanted to see how powerful the battle between the top cultivators could be... because Gu Heng had never seen it before.
It's impossible to broaden your horizons in a small corner like Aoki Castle.
Gu Heng walked out of the south gate of the city, but did not put on his speed boots immediately because there were still many people here. Although most of the mortals and cultivators were attracted to Jingku Valley today, there were still more realistic cultivators and mortals who had to consider what to eat next.
Outside the south of the city is the Yunling Forest.
He had to walk deep enough into the forest and put on his walking boots so as not to be seen.
There will definitely be people who will be jealous of a treasure like this that can travel thousands of miles a day, whether they are mortals or cultivators.
Gu Heng walked slowly towards the forest.
After walking for about half an hour, he felt that this place was almost acceptable. There were not many people around, and occasionally there were the cries of wild beasts. If he went deeper, he would encounter monsters.
Just as he was about to put on his speed boots, he heard some strange noises coming from the bushes nearby, and Gu Heng listened attentively.
"..."
It sounded like crawling, and Gu Heng's face turned cold.
"who?"
He took out a small flying knife from his waist and shouted coldly.
There's someone in the bushes.
How come I've walked so deep and there's still someone here? And he's squatting in the bushes, which doesn't seem right.
Gu Heng was on high alert, ready to deal with danger at any time.
But soon, a man slowly walked out of the bushes. Gu Heng looked at him cautiously. He was short and thin, looked less than 20 years old, with sallow skin, dirty clothes, and a hatchet on his back.
Gu Heng frowned. Could he be a woodcutter dressed like this?
"I'm sorry for scaring you, sir." The woodcutter did not come closer rashly, but stood ten steps away from Gu Heng. He bowed and spoke respectfully.
Gu Heng narrowed his eyes, his wariness still evident.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Qing Er, and I'm just a farmer. Sir, you might think I'm following you, but that's not the case. This is where I usually chop wood, and no one comes here. But today I saw someone alive, so I hid myself."
The woodcutter Qing Er, who introduced himself, lowered his head, seeming a little embarrassed.
Gu Heng looked around. There was a small pond in the open space, and there were some low bushes beside it. Most of the trees were not very thick, and he also saw many cut marks.
It seems that what the other party said is true.
Love is like accidentally intruding into a place frequented by others.
Thinking of this, Gu Heng also put away the flying knife coated with poison, clasped his fists and said, "I am so sorry, I was planning to pass by here on my way to Jingku Valley, but I didn't expect to disturb your peace."
"You are too polite, sir."
Qing Er shook his head. "But if we want to go to Jingku Valley, why do we have to go into the forest? There are official roads on the main road. There are many fierce guys in this forest."
"This...I just don't want to attract too much attention."
Of course Gu Heng couldn't say that he had a pair of very powerful boots, but they just couldn't be used for walking on the road. However, he couldn't think of a good reason, so he had to be vague.
Moreover, since there are people here, we definitely cannot take out the boots of speed.
"Anyway, I'm leaving now and won't bother you anymore."Gu Heng clasped his fists, walked in the opposite direction, and soon disappeared among the forest.
"...Tsk, didn't Big Brother say that this guy is just a mortal? How could he find me?"
After he left, Qing Er's face suddenly darkened, and the appearance of the short woodcutter suddenly changed. In just a few breaths, Qing Er's stature grew taller, and the flesh under his skin began to wriggle. Soon his appearance changed again, and his clothes also changed accordingly, becoming a green robe that blended into the environment.
Qing Er is naturally not a woodcutter.
Such a woodcutter does exist, but that guy is dead, and his flesh and blood were absorbed by Qing Er, so he can transform into the appearance of someone else.
As the second-ranked "Qing Killers" of Qingfeng Baoxing, Qing Er practices an evil skill that is not recognized by the righteous path, called "Soul-Devouring Technique". This skill can forcibly absorb the essence of other people's flesh and blood to increase one's own cultivation.
This technique is very suitable for killers.
Because you can become whoever's appearance by absorbing his flesh and blood.
But the growth of cultivation is very slow.
Therefore, Qing Er's strength is actually the weakest among the "Qing family killers", only at the third level of Jindan, but his "battle record" is the most outstanding.
At this time, several figures rushed out from the woods and came to Qing Er.
"What now?"
One of the killers asked.
"Humph, no matter what he wants to do, just follow him first."
Qing Er said coldly.
They were all sent by Qingfeng Baoxing to monitor Gu's Medical Clinic.
The girl left this morning and went straight to the Golden Phoenix Treasure Shop. There is no way to chase her, but this mortal can follow her.
So Qing Er followed with his men.
Unfortunately, President Shang has issued a death order that this mortal cannot move until it is confirmed whether Jinhuang Baoxing has obtained the prescription for the "Golden Spirit Liquid".
Otherwise, Qing Er would be happy to stab him in the back.
He is not Qing Si. He is cautious enough, and with the example of Qing Si, Qing Er will not do anything rash.
He is the only one who can poison others, there is no possibility that others can poison him!
...
Gu Heng walked a long way in another direction, and another half an hour passed.
This time, he was sure that there would be no one around.
There is a boundary in the Yunling Forest that mortals cannot cross. If you cross this boundary, you will encounter monsters. He is not sure whether he has crossed it, but it doesn't matter. He just wants to find a place to put on his magic boots.
This place is very nice and quiet. There are no low bushes, only tall trees. There are no signs that any trees have been cut down. Although there are some scratches from wild animals, he didn't see any animal traces.
Safe enough.
Gu Heng recited silently in his heart, and the magic boots in the system backpack automatically covered the short boots on his feet. These magic boots were more like a layer of skin than a pair of real shoes.
This is obviously a magic weapon of the monk!
He knew that one day he would have to dig out the "cultivation function" of the system.
Not far away, several killers were lurking on the treetops, staring at him closely.
"What is this guy doing? Why does he dare to stand here in a daze?"
"We really shouldn't have followed him. If he dies here, it won't be considered as our murder. The most important thing is not to die with him..."
There are killers who are puzzled.
They hadn't expected that this mortal would dare to go so deep!
There are Nascent Soul stage monsters here!
If you go deeper, you might encounter the Demon King!
