Chapter 4 Meeting the Enemy
Chapter 4 Meeting the Enemy
After witnessing Zhou Yu's extraordinary talent, Sisi said urgently, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave as soon as possible."
After all, the Soul Hunter Forest is teeming with soul beasts and fraught with danger.
The moonlight, like water, reflected their steps forward.
As they were crossing a low-lying area, a towering tree caught Zhou Yu's eye.
The tree trunk gleamed with a cold light, seemingly concealing some kind of austere aura.
"What is that?"
Driven by curiosity, he summoned his martial spirit and cautiously approached the large tree.
"Zhou Yu, what are you doing?"
Sisi quickly lit the tinder in her hand and followed Zhou Yu's steps.
As she approached, she noticed that Zhou Yu was tightly clutching a short iron arrow, which he had clearly pulled from a nearby tree trunk.
Zhou Yu recognized the short arrow at a glance, and his emotions instantly surged with excitement: "It's him!"
Sisi asked, puzzled, "Who are you talking about?"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and replied, "This short arrow is exactly the same as the weapon that killed my father. That person must be nearby!"
He suddenly remembered that Tang San and Yu Xiaogang should also be in the Soul Hunting Forest at this moment, searching for suitable soul rings.
Chameleons have 360-degree vision, enabling them to view two different objects simultaneously by rotating and focusing their eyes, allowing them to observe their surroundings without turning their heads.
Moreover, their night vision is dozens of times better than that of humans.
After some investigation, Zhou Yu discovered signs of a fight nearby and quickly followed the direction of the fight.
Sure enough, dozens of meters away, a four-meter-long snake was violently writhing and twisting, as if dancing wildly in a storm, stirring up clouds of dust.
Wherever its hard body passed, shrubs and saplings were severely damaged, their branches and leaves broken and scattered by the wind, as if they had been hit by a violent storm.
Zhou Yu hid in the shadows, quietly taking in everything before him.
"He...is Tang San?"
At this moment, he finally saw his enemy's face clearly and engraved that face in his heart.
Tang San deftly dodged the Mandala Serpent's tail attack by using his Ghostly Shadow Steps.
The saying goes, "Even a centipede dies but does not fall down." He had an excellent understanding of the characteristics of snakes and would never have thought that the large snake would die immediately.
"The other woman!"
Yu Xiaogang's urgent shouts startled Tang San awake. He knew that his actions had been exposed to the master.
His soul does not belong to this world, and this is obviously something that no one can know.
He immediately harbored murderous intent towards his mentor.
Tang San firmly believed that with the power and unique properties of the Silent Sleeve Arrow, coupled with the fact that Luo Sanpao was no longer able to attack, he was at least 70% confident that he could kill his opponent.
Just then, Sisi caught up and called out, "Zhou Yu!"
Zhou Yu quickly turned around, signaling her to be quiet.
Unfortunately, it still alerted Tang San.
Given the unexpected turn of events and his time with Yu Xiaogang over the past few days, Tang San temporarily abandoned his plan to kill Yu Xiaogang to cover it up.
He deliberately stumbled and rolled to the ground.
Yu Xiaogang quickly stretched out his arm. As a level 29 Great Soul Master, although his martial soul was somewhat lacking, his soul power was still there.
He steadied her and asked with concern, "Xiao San, how are you?"
Tang San feigned surprise and said, "Teacher, that scared me to death! Why didn't that giant snake chase after us?"
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the scene of the datura snake rampaging wildly, and scolded, "Why did you suddenly let go just now? Do you know how dangerous that was?"
In fact, what he saw was not as much as Tang San had imagined.
After all, he didn't have the visual ability of the Purple Demon Eye in the dead of night.
All that could be vaguely seen was Tang San's body stumbling backward, and the light flashing on that blue short sword.
He didn't even notice the crisp sound of the hidden arrow striking the salamander.
Without hesitation, Tang San replied, "I don't know what happened. My hands were sweaty, and I slipped. Teacher, when I swung the short sword you gave me, I think I hit the snake."
Yu Xiaogang probably guessed that Tang San must have accidentally stabbed the Mandala Snake, and most likely hit a vital spot.
Otherwise, why would such a fierce, cunning, and vengeful spirit beast suddenly stop its pursuit?
"Don't act rashly. Snake-type soul beasts have exceptionally strong vitality and will not die easily."
The master and apprentice stood cautiously at a distance, their eyes fixed on each other.
The mandrake, which had been struggling wildly, gradually calmed down. Its body twisted and turned on the ground, and the surrounding vegetation broke and scattered under its force, exposing the soil underneath.
Seeing the Mandragora Serpent's struggles grow weaker and weaker, Yu Xiaogang finally breathed a sigh of relief, then exclaimed with wild joy, "Great! Little Three, your spirit ring is secured!"
Tang San asked in surprise, "Teacher, are you talking about this giant snake?"
……
While the two were talking, Zhou Yu used his newly acquired first soul skill, [Azure Shadow Flying Needle], in an attempt to launch a sneak attack.
Just as the flying needle was about to leave his hand, he remembered that Tang Hao was very likely hiding in the shadows protecting Tang San.
"Now is not the time to reveal our identities..."
Zhou Yu immediately dismissed this irrational thought.
"Who is it?"
Unexpectedly, Tang San had already discovered that someone was hiding in the forest.
Forced by the situation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to change his strategy, turning the flying needles that were originally aimed at Tang San towards the giant snake that was struggling for its life.
The flying needle traced a green trail in the air, light and swift, shooting out in an instant.
Unexpectedly, the large snake, which was writhing violently on the ground, miraculously dodged the flying needles that were shooting towards it.
In the end, the Jade Shadow Flying Needle shot towards Tang San in a dramatic manner.
However, a sly smile appeared on Tang San's still immature face, as if he had everything under control.
He channeled almost all of his Xuan Tian Gong power into his palm, which shimmered with blue light. He swiftly raised his left hand and caught the flying needle that was about to pierce his body with his bare hand.
"..."
Zhou Yu was secretly surprised, not expecting the opponent's Xuan Yu Hand to be so powerful.
Before he could even react, Tang San's furious roar echoed in his ears: "Come out!"
At the same time, Yu Xiaogang once again summoned his martial spirit, Luo Sanpao.
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Zhou Yu had no choice but to show himself.
He forced himself to remain calm and explained apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I was just trying to shoot that big snake, but it actually dodged it..."
"..."
Tang San clearly didn't buy into this excuse.
Driven by a strong desire to protect his disciple, Yu Xiaogang immediately stepped forward and demanded, "Who are you people?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Sisi quickly stepped forward to help Zhou Yu out of the predicament, saying, "I'm really sorry, I'm a patrol officer from the Spirit Hall of Notting City, and he's my student."
After explaining her identity, she added, "Just now, as we were about to leave the forest, we accidentally heard fighting, so we came to investigate out of curiosity. My student intended to help you, but unfortunately, things went wrong. I'm truly sorry."
Upon learning that the other party was from the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang said no more.
Moreover, he firmly believed that a child of only six or seven years old would never have the intention to kill someone.
"In that case, please leave here as soon as possible."
He understood the meaning behind Yu Xiaogang's words perfectly.
She saw a pale yellow light begin to gather on the datura snake's body, took Zhou Yu's hand, and whispered, "Let's go!"
Since things had come to this, despite his resentment, Zhou Yu could only leave with Sisi.
