Chapter 42: Departure
The next day, at noon.
When Chu Xiu came to the city gate, Huang Xianling, Liao Jiaoxi, and the dean of the martial arts academy had already arrived here.
In addition to them, there were also many people standing at the gate of the city, most of them were students of the Children's Test Academy and the Martial Arts Academy, and they came to see off Chu Xiu and Sun Shan.
"Senior Brother Chu, we'll see you in the Yanwu Pavilion."
According to the rules, Chu Xiu and Sun Shan could not go together, and the departure time must be a quarter of an hour apart.
Sun Shan had already said goodbye to his family and friends early in the morning, and after leaving a message for Chu Xiu, he ran directly out of the city gate.
"Senior Brother Sun Shan, come on! You'll definitely be able to pass the Martial Arts Secret Realm! β
"Senior brother, be careful on the road!"
The students of the Children's Test Academy and the Martial Arts Academy waved goodbye.
Some old men who were familiar with Sun Shan couldn't help wiping their tears at the moment, and their eyes were full of reluctance.
Shouxian County is thousands of miles away from Anwu County, and Sun Shan is going to perform martial arts in the secret realm, and they will probably never see each other again.
The reluctance to parting made the atmosphere solemn, Chu Xiu closed his gaze from Sun Shan's back, and then looked back at the crowd.
There were many acquaintances of Chu Xiu in the crowd, including Chen Fei, Hong Wu, Chu Tianhe and others.
These people's eyes were also staring at Chu Xiu, and the expressions on their faces were different.
Senior brother Chen Fei looked at Chu Xiu with envy, thinking back to Chu Xiu's appearance when he first entered the Children's Test Hospital, he couldn't have imagined that it had only been less than two months, and the kid who only had more than one or two qi and blood at the beginning had actually walked far ahead of him.
Hong Wu on the side was full of reluctance in his eyes at the moment, he and Chu Xiu had been together for so many years, and the two were already each other's relatives.
In this way, the young eagle has grown up and is about to spread its wings and soar, although he is reluctant, he has to let Chu Xiu fly to a wider sky!
"Boy Chu, don't be compared to others when you get to Shouxian, don't embarrass your Uncle Wu." Hong Wu laughed and shouted in the crowd, although he had a smile on his face, he was extremely reluctant in his heart.
Chu Tianhe's big round face had a smile on his face, he saw Chu Xiu looking at him, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, nephew, I will take care of the Chu family, if you have any needs in Shouxian, you can send a message back, I will do my best." β
For his good nephew, Chu Tianhe only had regret and admiration in his heart.
If he had known that Chu Xiu had such a terrifying talent, he would never have fallen out with Chu Xiu in the first place.
However, what made him admire was not only Chu Xiu's talent, but also Chu Xiu's mind and mind.
He firmly believed in his heart that Chu Xiu would definitely do something in the future!
Chu Xiu looked at these familiar people, and many pictures appeared in his mind, which made him sigh in his heart.
At this moment, Liao Xing on the side suddenly walked over.
Liao Xing glanced at Chu Xiu deeply, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.
When he met Chu Xiu for the first time, Chu Xiu was still a kid who was isolated by everyone, and even if he passed the county exam, he would be questioned by many people.
But now, Chu Xiu is already the idol of all the students of the Children's Test Academy and the Martial Arts Academy, and is known by everyone as the first day of Anwu County's rare encounter in a hundred years, and even the county order has to curry favor with him.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that kid had grown to such a point in the first place!
"It's almost time, and you're ready to go."
Liao Xing retracted his gaze and snorted softly at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu nodded, and then looked back at everyone.
Uncle Wu's eyes were wet with tears, and his eyes were full of reluctance.
The classmates of the Children's Trial Academy and the Martial Arts Academy all showed admiration.
Chu Tianhe led everyone in the Chu family to bow down and send them off......
"Take care, everyone, I'm leaving!"
Chu Xiu didn't say much, and after leaving a word, he walked out of the city without looking back.
The voices of Hong Wu and others were faintly heard behind him, but Chu Xiu did not stop, but instead sped up and plunged into the forest.
He has been in this world for two years, this is the first time he has left Anwu County, and the strange world outside makes Chu Xiu's eyes light up, and his heart is very excited.
The world outside is full of freedom, with endless blue skies and white clouds, lush forests fragrant with flowers, and all kinds of animals and beasts that have never been seen before......
Looking at all this in front of him, Chu Xiu seemed to have just come to this world, and his eyes were full of yearning.
After calming down a little, he quickened his pace and sped through the forest.
In order not to expose his cultivation, Chu Xiu did not use martial arts, but just ran with the power of flesh and blood.
But despite this, he ran as fast as a cheap car, turning into a long line in the forest, extending in the direction of Shouxian.
Although he had not yet entered the Beast Forest, Chu Xiu still encountered many beasts along the way.
Although the strength of these beasts is not very strong, if the barbarians attack from the border, they will still become the new force of the barbarians.
The imperial court has sent troops to kill these beasts many times, but these beasts are like locusts, no matter how much they are killed, they cannot be completely wiped out.
Chu Xiu saw a lot of white bones along the way, these were the human races that had become the food of the beasts, and they were a scene that was absolutely invisible in the city.
Without the city walls and the garrison of the army, the human race is full of danger in the wilderness at all times, how can there be any peace and security, but there are people who are carrying the weight forward.
As he encountered more and more fierce beasts, Chu Xiu couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, could these fierce beasts be deliberately rushed over by the barbarians?
After all, these beasts have greatly curbed the expansion and reproduction of the human race, and the people who have benefited the most are the barbarians!
Chu Xiu was thinking while hurrying, if he met a fierce beast on the way, he would hide if he could, and if he couldn't dodge, he would fight, and if he couldn't fight, he would run, in just half a day, he had already rushed one-tenth of the distance.
The night gradually fell, and Chu Xiu's pace began to slow down.
Just when Chu Xiu was looking for a place to camp, there was a sudden "rustling" sound in the grass.
Chu Xiu's nerves tensed instantly, and he turned his head to look at the grass that was making a noise.
"Who?"
Chu Xiu drank heavily, but did not get any response.
Carefully picking up the grass, Chu Xiu saw a footprint bigger than his face, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.
"Roarβ"
There was a deafening beast roar behind him, and Chu Xiu quickly turned around.
A big wolf more than two meters tall appeared in front of Chu Xiu's eyes, and his powerful aura startled Chu Xiu into a cold sweat.
This is a fierce beast with a fifth-order cultivation in the Bone Forging Realm, and it can be seen from its bloody mouth that this beast is by no means easy to mess with.
Chu Xiu didn't want to waste time by fighting with it, so he directly cast a snake step, turned around and fled into the distance.
But what Chu Xiu didn't expect was that the speed of this big wolf was surprisingly fast, and he had just escaped a few steps before he was chased by the big wolf.
Looking at the big wolf with a bloody mouth, Chu Xiu knew that it was impossible for him to avoid the battle, so he put down his bags and took the Tang knife tied to his back into his hand.
The snow-white blade flashed an inch chill under the moonlight, Chu Xiu did not hesitate, raised the Tang knife and killed the big wolf!
