Chapter 1 The Boy Chopping Wood

Next Chapter

The Desolate Mountain Range is located in the northwest of the Xuanling Continent, where many fierce demon beasts live, and it is a forbidden place that mortals and martial artists dare not easily set foot in.

In a shady place at the foot of the Desolate Mountains, there is a thatched house. A simple thatched hut appeared in this desolate mountain forest, and it seemed so abrupt.

In front of the thatched house, an old dog that looked emaciated and had collapsed skin and flesh was lying on the clearing, his cloudy eyes looking blank and hollow.

It sat silently on its stomach, paying no attention to the movement in the inner room, as if nothing in the world could move it anymore, and it was only silently fulfilling its duty as a gatekeeper.

"Ahem, Xiao Yu, it's my mother who is not good, it's my mother who is dragging you down!"

In one of the inner rooms, on a wooden hard bed, a woman with a pale face without a trace of blood, leaning back against the edge of the bed, spoke apologetically to herself.

In front of the woman, a good-looking young man held a medicine bowl in his left hand and a soup spoon in his right hand, and brought the cold medicine to the woman's mouth.

Hearing his mother's words of self-reproach, Chen Yu's right hand holding the soup spoon couldn't help but tremble, but then he calmed down again.

Chen Yu clearly knows that the family can only rely on him to support him now, and he is still his mother's last life-saving straw, and he must not fall down first.

His hand did not stop, and continued to carefully put the medicinal liquid in the soup spoon into his mother Liang Susu's mouth, comforting her softly.

"Mother, don't think about it! Without you, I would never have come to this world! You can rest assured, as long as I Chen Yu is in one day, I will never let you have anything to do! ”

"Good boy, I'm really sorry for you!"

Liang Susu stretched out her left hand hard and touched Chen Yu's cheek tremblingly, her heart full of indebtedness to her child.

Chen Yu felt the coldness of his mother's left hand on his face, and hurriedly put down the soup spoon in his hand, and put his palm against the back of his mother's hand, hoping to warm her.

"It's not bitter, I just hate myself for being too weak and can't even protect my mother. Mother, you must believe me, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely cure you! ”

"Little Feather ......"

Liang Susu called Chen Yu's nickname lightly, her eyes had already been covered by mist, and she didn't know what to say for a while, her child was sensible and made her heart ache.

Stretching out his hands to wipe away the tears in his mother's eyes, Chen Yu hurriedly got up and slowly helped her to lie down: "Mother, you have a good rest, Lao Huang and I went to the forest to chop wood." ”

"Xiao Yu, you must pay attention to safety! No matter what happens, it's all about saving your life! ”

Liang Susu took Chen Yu's hand, her face was full of worry, she knew very well that the Desolate Mountain Range was definitely not a good place, and even at the foot of the mountain there were many fierce beasts.

"Hmmm! Mother, you have a good rest, I will pay attention to safety. Don't worry, isn't there still Lao Huang with you! ”

Chen Yu nodded heavily, promising his mother that he would ensure his safety. Then he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door with him.

Without wasting extra time, Chen Yu walked quickly to the corner and picked up a one-meter-two long black bronze ruler with strange patterns engraved on it.

The weight resembles a great sword, but the blade is unsharpened. The surface of the ruler is engraved with sinuous textures, which looks disorganized and messy. But the overall look reveals a majestic atmosphere, and the weight is more than 100 catties.

Chen Yu didn't know much about this heavy ruler, but only roughly knew that it was an item left behind by his father when he left ten years ago. He didn't know what the weight was for, and he just carried it as a weight on his body to exercise himself.

Compared to a year ago, when he first started exercising, Chen Yu had a hard time just picking up the weight, but now he can easily pick it up with one hand and carry it behind his back.

After tying the hemp rope tied to the weight ruler, Chen Yu bent down and picked up a woodcutter on the side, and immediately walked outside the house.

"Let's go, Lao Huang, chop wood!"

After greeting the old yellow dog lying on the ground, Chen Yu carried a heavy ruler on his back and a woodcutter in his hand, and walked towards the forest first. The old yellow dog reluctantly stood up, shook off the dust and grass from the messy fur, and followed slowly.

In the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range, there are all kinds of demon beasts that have been cultivating for many years and have cultivated to an extremely advanced level, and they are listed as forbidden places for this reason.

However, the surrounding area is relatively safer, and because there are many rare animals and plants that are not found in the outside world, it has attracted the covetousness of many warriors.

Similarly, Chen Yu was only active in the outer areas of the Desolate Mountain Range, and did not really go to the depths of the mountain range. After all, in that case, even if Chen Yu had ten lives, it would just be in vain!

Even in the outer areas, few people will venture to hunt in the Desolate Mountain Range, because once they encounter a powerful demon beast that comes out of the depths of the mountain range, then it will be a dead end!

Chen Yu didn't know why his father moved to this dangerous place with his mother and young man ten years ago. But their residence has been safe and sound, and Chen Yu thinks that his father must have left some means that he doesn't know about, guarding his home.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu unconsciously touched the heavy ruler behind him, and then turned his head to look at the old yellow dog who was following behind him slowly, thinking, "Could it be that this heavy ruler and Lao Huang are the back hands left by my father?" ”

However, when Chen Yu saw that the old yellow dog was peeing on a tree in front of him, he immediately denied the idea in his heart.

Just as Chen Yu was thinking wildly, there was a sudden sound of "boom" breaking through the air in his ears, and he immediately felt that it was coming from the tree diagonally above him.

"Phew!"

Chen Yu's oblique knife blocked, and the incoming stone bullet was opened, but before he could relax, a thin bamboo catapulted from the side, sweeping straight into Chen Yu's legs.

said that it was too late and that it was fast, and Chen Yu jumped to avoid this leg sweep. But at this moment, a large net made of steel wire fell from the sky, and Chen Yu, who was in mid-air, had no way to avoid it, so he could only defend with a firewood knife, and finally the whole person was sturdy.

"Squeak! Creak! ”

A burst of cheerful laughter came down from the tree, and when Chen Yu looked up, he saw a little monkey with shiny fur, scratching his ears and cheeks and laughing, obviously it was behind all this.

Chen Yu used a woodcutter to slash towards the steel wire mesh, and with a "bang", the steel wire mesh was not directly split, but only opened a small opening. This large net of thin steel wires is surprisingly strong.

It took a while to get rid of the steel wire, Chen Yu raised his head angrily and said to the little monkey: "Little guy, you come to me every day to make trouble, aren't you tired?" ”

The little monkey seemed to understand what Chen Yu said, and his little head shook like a rattle, as if to say, "I'm not tired at all!" ”

Chen Yu could only sigh helplessly at this, he took out a peach grown in his yard from his clothes and threw it at the little monkey.

The little monkey caught the peach he threw and swayed from side to side with joy, obviously the little monkey had long known that Chen Yu would bring something to share with it.

However, what the little monkey didn't know was that this peach was originally Chen Yu's own lunch. Since Chen Yu met this little monkey, every day he went into the mountain to chop firewood, he would give it his lunch to eat, whether it was steamed buns or some fruits, the little monkey was not refused, and he would eat it when he took it, and he was not at all wary of Chen Yu.

I don't know for what reason, anyway, Chen Yu just can't see the weaker side than himself so pitiful, and would rather be hungry than give lunch to the little monkey to eat.

Seeing the little monkey dancing happily, Chen Yu also laughed inexplicably. Immediately afterwards he saw the little monkey make a circle along the peach with one paw, and with a break of both hands, he split it in half.

Then, with its feet clasped on the branches, it hung upside down on its back, and then with a spin in the air, it landed easily on the ground. The little monkey jumped up to Chen Yu, handed Chen Yu the half of the peach in his left hand, and squeaked and smiled.

Chen Yu took the peach, touched the little monkey's head with his other hand, and said with a smile: "You little guy still knows half of me, you are much more sensible than before, haha!" ”

The little monkey grimaced at Chen Yu, turned around and walked away. Chen Yu touched his nose and didn't think so, the little monkey who often played pranks on him also expected him to do such a thing.

At the moment when the little monkey turned around, Chen Yu clearly saw that there were two small ears behind its ears. Because Chen Yu had only seen its front before, the two small ears were just blocked by the big ears, so Chen Yu naturally couldn't find it.

"Could it be that this little guy is the six-eared macaque that the old people in the town often talk about?!" Chen Yu's heart was very uneasy, and when he went to the town to sell firewood, he often heard the older generation talking about interesting things in the Desolate Mountains.

Some old people say that the six-eared macaque is a ferocious beast, as large as a mountain, and its own strength is enough to move mountains and seas. And some old people also said that the six-eared macaque is a combination of heaven and earth aura, born in response to heavenly fortune, and is the strongest creature in the world.

However, one of the characteristics that the older generation described as six-eared macaques is that they have two ears behind each ear, and they have six ears in symbiosis, so they are called six-eared macaques.

According to what Chen Yu saw, the little monkey obviously fits this description. It's just that Chen Yu didn't understand that the six-eared macaque should have lived in the depths of the Desolate Mountain Range, but the little monkey had been living on the periphery of the Desolate Mountain Range all these years.
