Chapter 9: The Strange Old Man

Two hours ago.

After Sag and Noah entered the study, Gurung, who felt bored, returned to his room, lay down and prepared to rest, but before he could fall asleep, the emptiness in his stomach continued to erode his nerves, and he grabbed the clothes he had just taken off and put them on his body, and walked towards the storage room with a curse.

"This damn stomach is getting more and more edible, I really don't know if I will swallow a mountain in the future......"

When he came to the door of the storeroom, he was about to lift his feet to enter, when he suddenly heard a sound from the inside of the storeroom, and he couldn't help but tense his nerves.

He slowed his steps, bent his waist around the window, and looked in through the gap in the window, only to see an unkempt figure with his back to him in the dim light, holding a roast chicken in his hand and gobbling it up.

Soon, the whole chicken was gnawed and only a skeleton remained, and he carefully removed the last strand of meat, and then reluctantly threw it aside, unconsciously smacking his mouth, stretching out his greasy hand to grab a ham next to him, and continued to feast.

Seeing this scene, Gurung's face couldn't help twitching, and he opened his mouth in embarrassment, unable to make any sound. This man is simply a starving ghost reincarnated, I'm afraid that any ugly-looking guy standing in front of him will become the most elegant noble, ......right? What does this man look so familiar with......

"Damn, this person's eating appearance is exactly like mine!" Gurung, who finally figured this out, instantly turned red and slapped his head hard.

"Smack!" The crisp voice came from the window, and the strange man in the room shrank in fright, hurriedly stuffed the ham in his hand into his mouth, swallowed it, and then left the mess all over the ground and rushed out of the door.

Knowing that he was exposed, Gurung shook his head self-deprecatingly, and turned around to chase after him without thinking.

"Damn, I ate so many things from our house, I want to run without even saying hello!" scolded in his heart, and Gurung sped up his running.

What made Gurung very strange was that this strange man seemed to be very familiar with the environment of the town mayor's mansion, and he did not encounter a single guard in the mansion along the way, and he came to the courtyard wall north of the city lord's mansion and suddenly climbed out of the wall. Of course, this also has to do with the fact that most of the guards are mobilized near the study.

In this way, the two of them ran all the way, and the surrounding scene kept changing, and I don't know how long it took, until Gurung found that he was surrounded by towering trees, and he realized that he was already in the depths of the mountain behind Rock Town.

Just when Gurung was stunned, the strange man who had been running in front of him "swooped" into the bushes and disappeared. Furious, Gurung, who had lost his target, picked up a few rocks from the ground and threw them in the direction where the strange man had disappeared.

After a short period of venting, Gurung's heart finally felt a little more comfortable, and after chasing along the way, he was already hungry and looked even more listless.

"Whew...... Call...... A man who has eaten so much...... Can you still run, run so fast......" At this time, Gurung was tired and sweaty, panting, and found a fairly clean stone and sat on it.

Calculating the time, it was already late at night, and the rustle of the leaves in the breeze, the chirping of insects in the distance and near distance, and the dusk moonlight in the night sky shrouded the back mountain at night with a veil of mystery.

The back mountain of Panshi Town, whose real name is Panshi Mountain Range, although it doesn't look big, is actually connected to the largest gathering place of demonic beasts in the east of the Guiyuan Continent - Aoki Forest, and there are often some low-level demonic beasts who are driven here after the failure of the Aoki Forest to fight for territory, such as the sixth-order monitor lizard that was torn apart by Sag with his bare hands before, which migrated from the Aoki Forest.

The demonic beasts on the periphery of the Rock Mountain Range are generally below the third order, and the closer you get to the Aoki Forest, the higher the level of the demonic beasts that appear.

Thinking of Sag's frequent admonitions to him, Gurung's heart couldn't help but feel a chill, and he rubbed his hair angrily, and began to secretly regret his impulsiveness.

"Whew~~~~"

As if to validate Sag's admonition, a beastly howl was heard in the distance, followed by several similar sounds from other directions, as if in response, as if in demonstration.

At this moment, there was a strange laugh like a broken gong from behind Gurung, which frightened him and jumped up directly from the stone, and the hairs on his body stood on end!

"it, stinky boy, you actually chased it here, is it ...... Didn't your family tell you that the night in the Rock Mountains was dangerous?"

Gurung hurriedly turned around, and found that not far from him, there stood an unkempt old man, with a set of tattered robes hanging from his body, shining in the hazy moonlight, and the original color could no longer be seen.

The person who came was the weirdo from before.

"Tut-tut, looking at your young age, your physical development is not bad, it would be a pity if you become the dinner of any monster......" The strange old man said as he rubbed his greasy hands on his robe, and he didn't know whether he was wiping his hands with his clothes or wiping his clothes with his hands.

Originally, Gurung was going to have an attack immediately, he chased after him all the way, and was naturally very impressed by the abundant physical strength of this strange man, but he didn't expect that it was an old man who was about to get rid of himself, and he received a good education since he was a child, it was difficult for him to speak ill of an old man or even fight him, and this depressed feeling made him almost crazy.

"What? I don't have anything to say, then what is the purpose of you chasing me for so long? Oh, I know the way, I must be so angry that I can't speak, right? ”

The Fire Wolf, a mid-second-order magical beast that likes to live in groups, is one of the most common magical beasts in the Rock Mountains, and its common attack method is to attack enemies by spitting fireballs from its mouth.

"......" Gurung rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Why, don't you believe that I have this strength?"

The old man raised his eyebrows proudly, said leisurely, didn't see him make any movements, and the next moment he moved directly to the opposite side of Gurung, and an old face full of wrinkles came over and stared at Gurung's eyes.

"Neuropathic ......" Gurung turned around and left speechlessly, he admitted that this old man's cultivation was a little weird, but his father, as well as Grandpa Noah, would not necessarily be worse than this strange old man, and besides, this old man didn't look like a good person. It's been out for so long, it's better to rush back as soon as possible, otherwise my father will find out that he has come here alone in the middle of the night, and he will inevitably be punished.

"Boy, you can't leave, these fire wolves have already discovered you, the howl just now is the signal that they notify their companions to find prey, I can tell you very responsibly, you are now, at least four fire wolves are targeting, if you don't make a decision earlier, I believe this number will continue to expand." ”

Gurung was disturbed by the strange old man's words, and if it was really as he said, his situation was really a bit dangerous.

Under Sag's careful teaching, Gurung, who has rich experience in combat, knows very well that it is not these second-order or so fire wolves that really pose a threat to him, according to his combat power, it is a little difficult to deal with a few second-order demonic beasts at most, but it is not enough to threaten his life. What he was really worried about was that if the movement caused by the battle was too big and it would be dangerous to provoke higher-level demonic beasts.

Looking at the hesitant Gurung, the strange old man could only rub his forehead with a wry smile, and the last sentence he said finally made Gurung stop his steps.

"Okay, show me your strength, kill these fire wolves, if you are still alive, I can teach you how to break the existing bottleneck and break through to the second-order realm of your dreams!"
