Fu Xi returned to the tribe, sat in front of his hut, looked at the stars in the sky, and had many thoughts. Hu Shu's proposal to become a disciple was like a key, opening a door to the unknown Path of Cultivation in his heart. However, the unknown was always accompanied by fear and confusion, and he did not know where this road would lead.
On the one hand, he knows that Human Race is in a difficult situation in this Primordial World. If he can learn the powerful Method of Cultivation, he will definitely help Human Race get out of trouble and move towards prosperity. But on the other hand, he On the other hand, Path of Cultivation is full of hardships and variables, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. If you are not good at studying, you will not only fail Hu Shu's expectations, but may also bring disaster to Human Race.
Just as he was deep in thought, a faint cry for help came from the distance, which seemed to be the voice of Human Race compatriots. Fu Xi's heart tightened, and he got up and walked towards the direction of the sound.
This sound came from a mountain forest outside the tribe. On weekdays, tribesmen seldom set foot in it because monsters often appear in the mountains and forests. At this time, the cry for help became more and more clear. Fu Xi quickened his pace and saw a young Human Race being chased by a smaller monster. The situation was critical.
"Stop!" Fu Xi shouted, picked up a branch, used up the meager spiritual energy in his body, and threw it towards the monster. The branch shot out like an arrow, hitting the monster's head. The monster felt pain, turned around and glared at Fu Xi, gave up chasing the young man, and rushed towards Fu Xi.
Fu Xi dodged sideways, flexibly avoiding the monster's attack, and at the same time observed the monster's movement patterns. He found that although this monster was small in size, it was agile and had rough skin and thick flesh, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to cause fatal damage to it.
Fu Xi was thinking about countermeasures while dealing with the monster. He knew that if he did not deal with the monster as soon as possible, not only would he be in danger, but the young man might also be in trouble again.
Just when Fu Xi was concentrating on dealing with the monster, the young man quietly stepped aside, with a hint of subtle cunning flashing in his eyes.
After a fierce fight, Fu Xi finally found an opportunity and stabbed the monster's eyes with a branch. The monster screamed, fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and died.
"Thank you so much for saving my life!" The young man ran over and bowed to Fu Xi.
"It doesn't matter, why are you here? This mountain forest is dangerous, don't come here again." Fu Xi said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"My benefactor doesn't know. I heard that there is a Spiritual Herb deep in the mountain forest, which can cure my mother's serious illness, so I took the risk to look for it, but I didn't want to encounter this monster." The young man said with tears in his eyes.
"I see. But Spiritual Herb is precious, and there must be many dangers around it. You can't take risks anymore." Fu Xi persuaded.
"But benefactor, if it weren't for Spiritual Herb, my mother would probably..." the young man said, his voice choked up.
Fu Xi couldn't bear it, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Just wait here, I will accompany you to find Spiritual Herb."
A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes. "Really? My dear friend, that's really great!"
So, Fu Xi followed the young man towards the depths of the mountain forest. As he went deeper into the mountain forest, the surrounding trees became more and more dense, and the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light. The air was filled with a moist atmosphere, and occasionally several unknown beast roars could be heard, which made people shudder.
Fu Xi felt that something was wrong in his heart, but looking at the anxious young man beside him, he couldn't just leave. He secretly increased his vigilance and was ready to deal with possible dangers at any time.
Suddenly, there was a low roar from the front, and a huge monster appeared in front of them. This monster looked like a tiger, with black mist emitting from its body, and its eyes flashing fiercely like lanterns.
"My benefactor, what... what should I do?" The young man turned pale with fright and hid behind Fu Xi.
Fu Xi also complained secretly in his heart. He did not expect to encounter such a powerful monster. But now that the matter has come to this, he can only bite the bullet.
"Hide behind me, don't run around!" Fu Xi whispered to the young man, while holding the branch in his hand, ready to fight.
The powerful demonic beast was the first to attack. It opened its big mouth and rushed towards Fu Xi. A fishy wind rushed towards Fu Xi's face, making Fu Xi almost sick. Fu Xi quickly dodged sideways, and the demonic beast missed it and landed heavily on the ground, shaking the ground.
Fu Xi took advantage of the moment when the monster got up, infused the branch in his hand with spiritual energy, and stabbed it into the monster's eyes. The monster seemed to be aware of the danger, and turned its head, and the branch scraped across its cheek, leaving only a shallow mark.
The demonic beast was enraged and let out a roar. The black mist on its body became thicker and thicker. It raised its front paws and struck hard at Fu Xi. Fu Xi couldn't avoid it and was hit on the shoulder by the claws. Blood immediately flowed out and the whole person was sent flying several feet away.
"My benefactor!" When the young man saw this, he exclaimed in fright.
Fu Xi stood up with difficulty. He knew that he could no longer be beaten passively and must find a way to find out the weakness of the monster. He endured the severe pain in his shoulder and carefully observed every move of the monster.
At this moment, the monster attacked again. Fu Xi did not dodge, but saw the right opportunity. When the monster approached, he suddenly jumped up and inserted a branch into the monster's nostril. The monster felt pain and frantically shook its head, trying to throw Fu Xi off. Fu Xi clung to the branch and refused to let go no matter how hard the monster struggled.
The monster's nostrils are its sensitive parts. After being penetrated by a branch, the pain was unbearable. It spun wildly on the spot and let out bursts of roars. Taking advantage of the monster's confusion, Fu Xi pulled out the branch and inserted it into the monster's other nostril.
The monster completely lost its mind. It rushed forward desperately and hit a big tree. The tree fell suddenly, and the monster was pinned under the tree, unable to move.
Fu Xi then breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat and blood from his face and turned to look at the young man. Only to find that the young man was looking at him coldly, without any gratitude in his eyes.
"You... why are you looking at me like this?" Fu Xi felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Hmph, Fu Xi, you do have some abilities. However, these are all tests set by us. If you can pass, you are lucky." The young man said with a sneer.
"Test? Who are you? Why are you testing me?" Fu Xi asked angrily.
"You don't need to know who we are. In short, you'd better not join Hu Shu's Sect, otherwise, both you and Human Race will face greater trouble." After the young man finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Stop! What is your purpose?" Fu Xi took a step forward and blocked the young man's way.
The young man glanced at Fu Xi with disdain. "Do you think you can stop me? If you are sensible, just get out of the way."
Just when the two were in a stalemate, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the distance...
