"Azure Cloud Sect killed so many people in Stone Village. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
Gu Sheng's eyes were burning with the flames of revenge, but Fifth Master Zhang's words also made him calm down, and he said in a deep voice, "I will go to Divine Wood Forest first, look for Heart of the Divine Wood, and get that infinite divine power! To improve my strength!"
Er Gou and Shi Lou looked at each other, determination flashing in their eyes.
Er Gou scratched his head and said angrily, "Brother Sheng, you saved my life. I will go wherever you go. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will fight with you!"
Shi Lou also nodded in agreement. "Yes, we three brothers should live and die together!"
Fifth Master Zhang looked at the three young people in front of him and sighed. He knew that he could not persuade them, so he said no more.
The three of them bowed deeply to Fifth Master Zhang, turned around and walked in the direction of Divine Wood Forest.
Divine Wood Forest is shrouded in a layer of fog all year round. Legend has it that it is the place where the ancient sacred trees fell, and it is full of unknown dangers.
As soon as I stepped into the forest, a cold and damp breath hit my face.
Shrouding the Heavens The sun-blocking crown of the tree completely blocks the sun, and only mottled light spots pass through the gaps in the leaves, casting swaying light spots on the ground.
"Brother Sheng, this forest is so spooky, I feel a little scared."
Er Gou shrank his neck and lowered his voice.
Gu Sheng observed the surroundings vigilantly and whispered, "Be careful, this is a place where monsters roam."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar came from the depths of the jungle, and the ground trembled slightly.
"Ho--!"
The expressions of the three people changed, and they immediately took out their weapons and stood back to back in a group, staring warily at the direction from which the sound came.
I saw a huge giant bear covered with black scales slowly walking out of the trees. Its scarlet eyes shone with bloodthirsty light, and its sharp fangs protruded from its mouth, dripping with sticky saliva. It obviously regarded the three of them as prey.
"No, it's Black Scale Bear. This beast is the Divine Bridge Realm monster!"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath and his face became very ugly.
Er Gou swallowed, his voice trembling. "Brother Sheng, what should we do?"
Facing this sudden Black Scale Bear, Gu Sheng's eyes instantly condensed like frost.
He knew very well that today's battle was inevitable.
He whispered to Er Gou and another companion Shi Lou: "Don't be afraid, if we work together to fight, we may not have no chance of winning!"
Black Scale Bear let out a low roar and got down on all fours, his huge body pressing in like a hill. Every step made the ground tremble slightly.
Er Gou and Shi Lou looked at each other and saw firmness and determination in each other's eyes.
Er Gou clenched Iron Rod in his hand, and Shi Lou pulled out the long sword with a cold light shining on his waist. The two of them followed Gu Sheng, one on the left and the other on the right, ready to fight.
"Roar!"
Black Scale Bear was the first to attack. It jumped suddenly, its huge body drew a black arc in the air, and rushed towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng narrowly dodged the blow on one side of his body. At the same time, he threw Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand with his backhand. The dagger drew a brilliant flame in the air and stabbed Black Scale Bear's left eye.
"Ouch!"
Black Scale Bear screamed in pain, its left eye was burned by the high temperature of Fire Spirit Dagger, and it temporarily lost its vision, but in anger, it attacked even more fiercely.
Seeing this, Er Gou waved Iron Rod towards him, trying to attract Black Scale Bear's attention.
However, Black Scale Bear's power was far beyond imagination. With one blow, Er Gou felt a huge force coming from him. He was thrown away and fell heavily to the ground. He vomited blood and obviously suffered serious injuries.
At the same time, Shi Lou also launched an attack. He was as agile as a ghost, and his long sword weaved silver sword nets in the air in an attempt to block Black Scale Bear's actions.
But Black Scale Bear had rough skin and thick flesh, and although the sword net was dense, it could only leave a few shallow scratches on its body, which in turn angered the giant beast.
Black Scale Bear roared, turned around and slapped Shi Lou with his paw.
"Ah..."
Shi Lou couldn't avoid it, and his left arm was torn apart by sharp claws. Blood spurted out. He staggered back, his face pale.
"Damn it!"
At the critical moment, Gu Sheng recalled Fire Spirit Dagger, determination flashing in his eyes.
He took a deep breath, Life Spring surged in his body, and a pure and powerful divine power flowed along the meridians to the palm of his hand, and was injected into Fire Spirit Dagger.
The dagger instantly glowed brightly, as if burning with blazing flames, the temperature rose sharply, and even the surrounding air was distorted.
"Cut!"
Gu Sheng violently waved Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand, and with a sharp sword light, he slashed directly towards Black Scale Bear's head.
Black Scale Bear seemed to be aware of the crisis, and quickly retracted his giant claws, spinning his body on the spot, avoiding Fire Spirit Dagger.
"Pfft!"
Fire Spirit Dagger drew a hideous scar on Black Scale Bear's back, which was immediately dripping with blood and shocking.
Black Scale Bear let out an angry roar, and the huge body was thrown wildly like a windmill. Wherever the huge body passed, branches broke one after another, making a "crackling" sound.
"Bang!"
Gu Sheng kicked his feet hard, and his whole body shot forward like an arrow from a string.
"Drink!"
Gu Sheng let out a low cry and exerted force on his right leg, hitting Black Scale Bear's abdomen like a cannonball.
"Crack!"
Gu Sheng used all his strength to kick Black Scale Bear in the stomach. A powerful force suddenly burst out and kicked Black Scale Bear away. He rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
"Ouch..."
Black Scale Bear let out a roar of pain and climbed up from the ground with difficulty.
The eyes it looked at Gu Sheng were full of hatred and fear, as well as this overwhelming anger.
"This guy is actually still alive."
Gu Sheng frowned and looked at Black Scale Bear, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The kick he just made contained all his strength.
Black Scale Bear was obviously not completely defeated by Gu Sheng's blow. It roared angrily, its eyes filled with bloodthirsty madness.
The huge body attacked again, like a wild beast that had lost its mind, rushing towards Gu Sheng desperately.
Gu Sheng felt a chill in his heart. He could feel the majestic demon power contained in Black Scale Bear's body surging crazily.
He quickly adjusted his body shape and tried to dodge again, but Black Scale Bear was much faster than he expected.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, Gu Sheng was hit by Black Scale Bear's giant claw, and his whole body flew upside down like a kite with its string broken, causing a large piece of thousand-year-old tree to break in half.
"Ahem..."
Gu Sheng covered his chest, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He was obviously seriously injured.
He struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes still firm, staring at Black Scale Bear, refusing to flinch at all.
Black Scale Bear roared and charged again, its scarlet eyes filled with hatred and murderous intent towards Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng took a deep breath. He knew that now he had no retreat and no escape. Only by going all out could he possibly defeat this powerful monster.
However, at this moment, a strange power suddenly surged in Gu Sheng's body.
With a thought, he summoned the small black cauldron in his body. The small cauldron was emitting a faint light, and an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air.
"This is..."
Gu Sheng no longer hesitated and poured all his divine power into the small cauldron.
I saw the small cauldron rapidly enlarging in the air, turning into a giant cauldron, emitting a dazzling black light, as if it could swallow everything and suppress the people!
"Smash!"
Gu Sheng gave a low shout and slammed the giant cauldron towards Black Scale Bear.
The giant cauldron drew a black trajectory in the air, carrying destructive power, and collided with Black Scale Bear's huge body.
"Boom!"
There was a deafening loud noise, and the entire Divine Wood Forest seemed to be shaken.
I saw Black Scale Bear being smashed to pieces by the huge cauldron. His huge body rolled several times in the air, and finally fell to the ground weakly, never moving again.
Gu Sheng stood on the spot, panting heavily. He looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with shock and surprise.
He didn't expect that this small black cauldron was so powerful that it could smash Black Scale Bear to death alive.
Er Gou and Shi Lou looked at Black Scale Bear who fell on the ground, with incredible looks on their faces.
"Brother Sheng, are you... are you okay?"
Er Gou asked with concern. He looked at the blood on the corner of Gu Sheng's mouth, and his heart was filled with worry.
Gu Sheng shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Although he possesses the cultivation level of the Other Shore Realm, in this Divine Wood Forest, his cultivation level is suppressed and cannot crush this Black Scale Bear.
This further proves that the power in Divine Wood Forest is powerful enough.
He turned around and looked at Er Gou and Shi Lou, with a determined light in his eyes. "We continue to move forward, we must find Heart of the Divine Wood and avenge the brothers of Stone Village!"
Gu Sheng looked coldly.
He knew that this battle was far from over. The lingering power after Black Scale Bear's death might attract more monsters, and they had to speed up.
Er Gou and Shi Lou seemed particularly nervous. They realized that the world in front of them was far more dangerous than they imagined.
"Brother Sheng, do we really want to move on?"
Er Gou's throat was slightly dry, and his eyes were still staring at the lying Black Scale Bear.
"Must!"
Gu Sheng said firmly, "We can't stop. Stone Village needs us now. If we don't go to Heart of the Divine Wood, how can we avenge them?"
"Brother Sheng is right! Even if we lose our lives, we must try our best!"
A trace of fighting spirit flashed across Shi Lou's face. Although he was still uneasy inside, he was also infected by Gu Sheng's aura.
"But before we leave, we have to pack up the loot!"
Under the leadership of Gu Sheng, they began to collect the body of Black Scale Bear.
He used Fire Spirit Dagger to cut open the bear's skin, revealing the dark bones and internal organs underneath.
"I've never seen a baby like this."
Er Gou's eyes flashed with excitement. His hands trembled as he carefully took out a crystal clear core.
"This is Black Scale Pearl. It can be used to make medicine and enhance physical fitness."
Gu Sheng smiled.
"Haha, I'm rich!"
Shi Lou couldn't help laughing.
Gu Sheng just smiled slightly, still thinking about the mystery in his heart.
He quickly packed up Black Scale Bear's body and put all the bearskin and bones into the storage ring.
"Let's go, we can't stay here for long."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he took the lead and walked away. It seemed that he could still hear the roar of wild beasts in the wind.
They followed the path in the woods and began to look for Heart of the Divine Wood.
I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect that after a few days, I had no clue and my mood became heavier.
"This sacred tree is really well hidden."
Shi Lou complained and kicked the boulder on the roadside.
"Legendary things will not appear easily."
Gu Sheng said in deep thought, with a hint of thought in his tone.
Er Gou walked at the end, always looking around vigilantly. They knew that danger was everywhere in this primitive jungle.
"Brother Sheng, are we going the wrong way?"
Er Gou asked hesitantly, he was panting and obviously tired.
Gu Sheng stopped, looked at the mountains in the distance, frowned slightly, "Look again!"
Although tired, their hearts are full of determination. Although the road ahead is tortuous, they must continue walking for Stone Village.
With the shadows of the trees dancing and the breeze blowing on their faces, Gu Sheng and the others followed the dark path step by step deep into the sacred forest.
Every foot stepped on the cold soil, and my heart became heavier and heavier.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the sunlight cast mottled light and shadow through the dense leaves.
They stopped in a forest that looked ordinary but was filled with a sense of privacy.
"Something's wrong here."
Er Gou said suddenly alertly, following closely beside Gu Sheng, he looked around.
The surrounding trees seemed taller than elsewhere, and the light was sparser.
Deep shadows enveloped them, and the atmosphere became extremely heavy.
"Didn't I say that this is the legendary place where divine power is sealed? Maybe this sense of oppression is a clue."
Gu Sheng Although he felt uneasy, he was also a little eager to try.
"Look! What is that!"
Shi Lou pointed excitedly at the light ahead.
In the darkness, there is a light flickering.
"It's Heart of the Divine Wood!"
Gu Sheng's voice was filled with surprise that could not be concealed, they finally found it.
Soon, they arrived in front of Heart of the Divine Wood.
This tree is tall and strong, with luxuriant branches. The branches stretch high into the sky, blocking the sun's rays and making it look even more eerie.
The trees were covered with withered vines, shivering in the night wind. On the top of the tree, a dark bead hung.
The beads were completely black, filled with terrifying pressure.
Gu Sheng stretched out his hand, trying to catch Heart of the Divine Wood, which was shining with mysterious light.
However, as soon as it was touched, the beads suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
Under this terrifying pressure, Gu Sheng felt his body being torn apart by a powerful force, as if it was trying to obliterate the three of them.
"Not good!"
Gu Sheng couldn't help but change his expression.
"Rumble..."
Bursts of muffled thunder sounded suddenly, which seemed particularly strange in the dense forest.
Purple arcs of electricity converged towards Heart of the Divine Wood as if summoned by some kind.
They intertwined into a network and enveloped Heart of the Divine Wood.
Gu Sheng and others suddenly fell into dizziness, and their minds gradually became trance-like. They seemed to have lost control and flew towards Heart of the Divine Wood involuntarily.
"Bang!"
Heart of the Divine Wood exploded suddenly, and a violent force shot into the sky.
"Pfft..."
Gu Sheng and others were hit by the force of the shock, vomiting blood one after another, and flew upside down like kites with broken strings... They hit the stone wall in the distance heavily, and the huge stone was instantly smashed into powder.
