Chapter III: Distress

Wang Wu silently woke up Zhang Linchen in his sleep, who looked at the darkness around him in confusion.

"Senior brother, silence!"

Wang Wu whispered to him: "Wait a minute, I may throw you out of the hole, and then you must run forward with all your might, don't hesitate, don't stop." ”

Then he handed Zhang Linchen a palm-sized stone, and said: "Hold this stone, no matter what, you can't let go, it will protect you, and I'll come to you when I solve the trouble." ”

Zhang Linchen didn't know what was going on, but it was certain that there was definitely big trouble coming. He nodded quickly, and there was not much panic in his eyes.

In this way, the two of them held their breath and remained motionless.

After a while, a humanoid creature walked slowly. It was tall, slender, covered in black hair, with two earthy yellow eyes, sharp claws on its ten fingers, and a long tail behind it.

At this time, it seemed to feel something, and a mouthful of canine teeth appeared in its mouth, and a trace of hot air wafted out from between its teeth, and the whole body was ready to go.

When it came to the depths of the cave, Wang Wu, who had been waiting for a long time, put a hand on Zhang Linchen's shoulder, and a mellow spiritual power was transmitted to Zhang Linchen's body along the arm, forming a protective cover.

Wang Wu silently appeared with a long stick, his body bowed slightly, and his divine sense directly locked on to the humanoid monster, or should he call it "mandrill".

His feet shook, the ground suddenly shattered, and he took Zhang Linchen, the bearer of the unparalleled momentum, like a meteor, and rushed forward. When he was about to approach the mandrill, Wang Wu swept away with a long stick and took its head.

The mandrill looked slightly startled, but it still reacted quickly, squatted down, dodged the slamming blow, and then quickly grabbed its claws towards Wang Wu's waist.

Cha!

With a soft sound, five long marks appeared on Wang Wu's clothes, and his face showed a hint of relief, because his senior brother had been sent out of the cave by him.

Zhang Linchen was thrown out by his junior brother, rolled a few laps on the ground outside, and then got up quickly.

Boom –

With a loud bang, the divine light shone brightly, brilliantly, and the light pierced the sky, illuminating the night as if it were day. The cave had collapsed, and even cracks had appeared in the whole mountain, and for a moment smoke and dust were everywhere, and rocks were scattered.

Immediately afterward, there were several loud bangs, shaking the heavens and the earth, accompanied by a sharp roar, and a hundred-foot high mountain collapsed, and the rubble rolled down.

Zhang Linchen heard the movement from behind, saw the dazzling light, held the stone given by his junior brother tightly in his hand, ran hard, and almost used all the strength to eat. All he could think of now was running forward, even if it was dark in front of him, even if there were unknown risks ahead.

He can't hold back his junior brother, not for a moment!

Now, Zhang Linchen is fully engaged in running, and unconsciously, his running movements and postures are slowly changing to a very subtle degree.

It's more of an adjustment than a change, though. Because with each change, his speed is a little faster, and the amount of energy required is a little less. He seems to be looking for the best way to run, and judging from the feedback just now, he should have found it.

The reason why Zhang Linchen was able to achieve such a miraculous change was because he entered the realm of "entering the gods" that he usually only has when he exercises "Hundred Forging Opera".

After some time, he came to a dead forest, and in the faint moonlight, the branches of the trees were like fangs and claws, trying to devour the intruder.

Zhang Linchen was sweating profusely and his breath was short, although he had been in a state of concentration, his body was already weak, and he couldn't hold on for too long, and he was about to reach his limit.

For the first time, he stopped, leaning his back against a large tree, ready to rest. He stumbled and fell many times along the way, but thanks to the stone in his hand, he was protected from any damage.

He carefully touched the stone and found that there were many lines engraved on one side, like a small formation. The only strange thing is that these patterns are not complicated, and he thinks he can easily imitate them.

Hiss-hiss-

Suddenly, a subtle voice came into Zhang Linchen's ears, and he was startled when he was thinking, like a fried chicken, immediately detached from the old tree, and looked at the place where he had stayed with great vigilance.

In the night, a sound of "Xi Xi Suosuo" sounded, and by the moonlight, Zhang Linchen vaguely saw something with a thick bowl mouth and leaned over.

It's a snakehead!

Zhang Linchen's face changed, and his heart suddenly became cold. Thinking of the huge body hidden behind the snake's head, he didn't hesitate and ran away. With his weak little body, it is impossible for this big snake to be an opponent.

It's a pity that Zhang Linchen's speed is still a little slower, the big snake spits out the snake letter, and the tail flicks, like a thick long whip, is about to hit him.

Syllable!

At this moment, the stone in Zhang Linchen's hand suddenly lit up with a faint light, covering the surface of his body, blocking this powerful blow. And this time, it also bought him time to escape.

However, when he ran wildly again, Zhang Linchen's speed obviously decreased, he was so tired that he only rested for a while, and did not recover much physical strength.

Sand - Sand - Sand -

The big snake moved forward quickly, and the sound of its body rubbing against the ground was getting closer and closer, like a countdown to death, so tight that Zhang Linchen couldn't even maintain his state of being in a state of concentration.

"Calm down, you must be calm!"

He kept telling himself in his heart that he must not panic, otherwise if he made a mistake, he would face death.

In the darkness, a shadow leaned motionless against the tree, and Zhang Linchen happened to rush past it, bringing a breeze with it.

It looked at this young boy, running in front of him like a desperate man, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curvature.

Qiang –

With a crisp groan, a white light flashed behind the young man, and with a pop, bright red blood spurted out like a spring, scattering several feet away.

Zhang Linchen, who was only concerned about running for his life, suddenly felt a heat in his back, as if something had splashed on him. He didn't have time to react because his footsteps tripped over a thick branch, and he threw himself to the ground. Fortunately, the stone in his hand lit up again at the critical moment, blocking the damage of the fall, otherwise he would definitely fall and bleed.

He lay on the ground exhausted, panting heavily, cold sweat breaking out on his head, and he looked like he was going to die. He ran in a hurry just now, and he didn't have much physical strength, so he ran another distance with just one breath, and now this breath is gone, and he can only lift the corpse weakly.

At the thought of the great serpent coming, he clenched the stone in his hand even more, this was the only thing he could rely on, and he didn't know how long he could hold on.

"Senior brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again!"

After a long while, Zhang Linchen reluctantly sat up, and in the silent darkness, the big snake did not catch up quickly as he thought, but disappeared.

He frowned, puzzled, and at the same time, reached out and touched his back, and a sticky feeling came from his hand. He sniffed it, and then a strong smell of blood and other strange smells rushed to his nostrils, making his head blank for a while.

"Is this blood?"

Zhang Linchen soon found that things were not so simple, he stood up, and walked in the direction he had just run in a vague manner.

But after a few steps, he vaguely saw a hideous head under his feet, and the body below the neck was completely missing. He was startled, and quickly recognized that it belonged to the great snake, but why was it decapitated?

As he was thinking, the head suddenly jumped up as if it was alive, and the bloody fangs went straight to Zhang Linchen's head!

He let out an "ah" and hurriedly retreated, seeing that the snake's head was getting closer and closer, the long-lost glimmer lit up, and the barrier that appeared on the surface of the body blocked its further movement.

In less than two breaths, the snake's head gradually withered, and then "plopped" and fell to the ground.

When Zhang Linchen was in shock, a crisp laugh suddenly came, which made him, who was already nervous, get goosebumps in an instant.

His heart was beating wildly, forcibly suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and he asked, "Who? Who is laughing?"

No one answered, only the faint sound of footsteps coming from not far away.

Zhang Linchen narrowed his eyes and stared in the direction where the voice came from, and a beautiful figure slowly appeared in front of him.

She was a very beautiful woman, in her early twenties, with a beautiful figure, snow-white skin, and bright eyes that could not be concealed even at night.

"Hello, little brother!"

She hooked her red lips and looked at Zhang Linchen with a smile.

Zhang Linchen was stunned for a moment, he thought that there would be some demons and monsters, but he didn't expect it to be a girl!

He asked, "Why is the girl laughing?"

The woman chuckled, "I just think it's funny that you're being hunted down?"

Zhang Linchen's face turned dark, and he said, "Then this big snake was killed by you, girl?"

The woman said casually: "I don't think it's happy, and then I killed it." ”

Her voice was flat, as if she had crushed an ant to death, insignificant.

The matter was almost figured out, Zhang Linchen immediately saluted and said: "Thank you girl for saving me, I am grateful!"

The woman blinked her bright eyes and said, "Then how are you going to pay it back?"

Zhang Linchen pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I have nothing on me, if the girl is willing, you can help me find my junior brother first, and he should be able to pay you enough!"

The woman smiled slightly, stared at Zhang Linchen with straight eyes, and said, "Don't be so troublesome, just give me the stone in your hand!"

Zhang Linchen hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is not good, it is very important to me." ”

The dark night seemed to cast a veil of mystery over the woman, and her soft voice carried a hint of coquettishness, and said, "Since this is the case......"

Before the woman finished speaking, she suddenly frowned, she turned to look in one direction, and a white long sword appeared in her hand at some point.

Zhang Linchen didn't know what was going on, and when he looked at the sword, he thought that this should be the weapon that beheaded the big snake.

"Wang Wu?"

The woman muttered to herself, her tone mixed with uncertainty.

In the next moment, a figure flew in from the darkness, he nodded to the woman, and then crossed her to Zhang Linchen.

Zhang Linchen saw the person who came clearly, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, you are finally here!"

This person is Wang Wu, he nodded and said, "I've been waiting for a long time." “

Wang Wu turned his head to the woman and said, "Go first, this is not a place to stay for a long time." “

Before the woman could ask, Wang Wu took Zhang Linchen into a divine light and flew to the sky.

She stomped her foot in anger, and then stepped on the light and followed.
