Chapter 5 Gou is not a problem, the problem is that Gou can't
It's certainly impossible to go back, and that's already the case in the production area, let alone the other two more powerful ones.
If you can go back to Earth once, there will be many ways to think about it, but the problem is that you can't go back now, and when you can go back, there will be not enough time. It was the second time Gu Mou had encountered such a crisis since he could remember, and the last time was when his parents both died.
Without recklessly burrowing into the dense forest, Gu Mou put the Soul Snatcher Scythe upside down on the ground, the blade was close to the ground, and with a slight force on his hand, the Soul Snatcher Scythe followed him around the place. In front of the sharp edge of the artifact, the dead branches of the grass and trees on the ground had no ability to resist, and in less than three seconds, a circular safety belt with a diameter of two meters was cleared.
There are too many dangers hidden in the grass in the wild, don't look at Gu Mou standing here now, who knows if he will be attacked by snakes, insects, rats and ants hidden in the grass in the next moment. When you arrive in a strange place, you must first let yourself have a safer place to stand before you can talk about subsequent development.
Fortunately, Gu Mou did this, otherwise he might have been lying on the ground by now, because at the edge of the safe zone cleared by the Soul Snatcher, a snake creature was shaking its head. The emerald green snake body with the thickness of chopsticks perfectly blended into the surrounding environment, and if it was stationary, even if Gu Mou's spiritual perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, it would not be able to detect its traces without any wild experience.
It was not clear whether the snake was poisonous or non-venomous, but he definitely wouldn't want to verify it for himself.
The black scythe swept away, and although the emerald green snake in the grass sensed the danger and dodged it, the two-meter-long blade of the Soul Reaver Scythe had too wide an attack range beyond its ability to dodge, and in the end it still could not escape the fate of being killed. As the sickle body swept over, the first living creature that Gu Mou encountered after entering this half-plane separated and was cut into two pieces.
Seeing this situation, Gu Mou did not feel relieved and relaxed his vigilance, but became more and more cautious. The creature of the snake is not so easy to die, even if it is cut in two, it will not die for a while, if it is bitten by its counterattack before death, and filled with the venom of the whole poison sac, it will be a loss to grandma's house. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Gu Mou slashed at the snake's head again, and as he expected, the snake's head that was still on the ground suddenly jumped up and bit it in the direction from which the sound came.
Seeing this, Gu Mou secretly rejoiced. If he hadn't been cautious enough, this bite wouldn't have landed on the Soul Snatcher's scythe, but on himself.
Encountering the artifact of the Soul Snatching Scythe, the emerald green little snake can be regarded as eight lifetimes of blood mold. Its dying counterattack not only failed to avenge itself, but instead sent its own head up, and was stabbed again, not only was its fangs flying on the knife, but even half of its head was cut off.
After being hit like this, no matter how strong the vitality is, you have to kneel. Soon, Gu Mou saw a wisp of black mist as thick as a hair being sucked into the Soul Snatcher Scythe.
It was the soul of the little emerald serpent.
"You've completed a kill of an otherworldly creature, Mission: Completion of the Beginner's Path."
That's it?
If you think about it, it's not wrong, the mission requires you to kill an otherworldly creature, as long as it's an otherworldly creature, and it doesn't have to be an intelligent species like a human.
Gu Mou found that he had thought about it from the beginning, after all, it was the first novice task, and the difficulty could not be high.
"You've completed your mission: Beginner on the road and mastery (beginner)."
Literacy: Improve your communication skills. Primaries can only be of the same kind without barriers between species. Note: Language barrier? Inexistent.
To put it bluntly, the Mind is a universal translator that allows the Chosen One to communicate smoothly between different species. The role of the primary mastery technique here is that he can understand what Crooked Guoren says without learning a foreign language, and in the same way, the other party can understand what he says. With this skill in hand, if Gu Mou goes to be a translator, no matter how rare the language is, it will be difficult for him to regenerate rare words.
With such a benefit, Gu Mou couldn't laugh because he found that his troubles had just begun.
The mission is complete, and the reward is in hand, but that's it, and nothing happens next. The Will of the World did not teleport him back to Earth, and the cooldown time of the Space Key Teleportation Authority was still that long, which meant that he still had to stay in this half-plane for more than twenty-three hours.
If it's just like this, Gu Mou just needs to be a little bit more reluctant and return to the square to survive this time.
Gou is not a problem, the problem is that Gou can't.
When Gu Mou wanted to retreat, he found that an invisible force blocked his retreat, building an invisible wall between himself and the mist enchantment.
There was no such thing in Leslomanke's memory, could it be that it was a new change in the evolution of the half-plane?
It's too bad.
As soon as he thought that he would have to persist in this primeval jungle for a day, Gu Mou had the urge to beat people.
He knew it would be like this, and he was in the square until the last few minutes. There is nothing there, but it is not safer than in this dangerous jungle.
As the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Before Gu Mou could think about how to spend the day next, there was a sound of agitation among the surrounding grass, and some long strips of green could be faintly seen writhing as the grass swayed.
Gu Mou's face turned green, and he could see clearly, those things writhing in the grass were clearly snakes.
There are no less than twenty snakes around, did I fall into the snake's nest? Otherwise, how can there be so many snakes.
It was already very unlucky to have so many snakes around, and what was even more unfortunate was that these snakes faintly surrounded themselves and tentatively approached their location. From the hissing sound of the snakes, it was not difficult to hear that they were preparing for the attack.
Misfortune is indeed not a one-way street.
The Soul Snatcher was in his hand, but Gu Mou did not have the slightest sense of security. He can prevent one side and two sides, can he still prevent all four? When these snakes attack from all directions, there will always be gaps that Gu Mou did not guard, and once that happens, this is inevitable, and the consequence is to be bitten by snakes. Judging from the aggressiveness shown by these snakes, to say that they are not venomous, Gu Mou does not believe them.
It would be nice if there was a group attack spell, just solve it in one wave, but unfortunately there is no if in reality, Gu Mou can only force himself to calm down and think about how to deal with it.
Negative emotions such as anxiety and panic are useless, it will only drag the person into the abyss. This was already understood when Gu Mou encountered the first crisis in his life.
The avenue is fifty, the day is forty-nine, and the one that escapes is a ray of life. Thanks to the blessing of quick thinking after strengthening the spirit, Gu Mou seized this line of vitality.
took out the plastic lighter he bought for a dollar from his pocket, and Gu Mou thought happily: Fortunately, I smoke, otherwise I would have been blind.
