Gu Chen searched the entire underground world for a while and finally found a small seedling under the cauldron.
"It hasn't bloomed yet."
The Shennong Grass lay quietly in the soil.
There were six plants!
Gu Chen's spirits lifted!
This trip was very fruitful; we not only obtained Shennong Grass, but also spirit stones.
Gu Chen might not care about other things, but he desperately needed spirit stones and Shennong Grass!
After exiting the cave, Gu Chen stared at the entrance, then suddenly struck, slamming his hand hard against the mountain wall!
Rumble rumble--
Countless boulders fell, and with Gu Chen's slap, the mountain began to collapse rapidly, completely burying the cave entrance within minutes!
Since Gu Chen didn't know how to deal with the furnace and the White Bone Grand Formation containing the remnants of the soul, perhaps this was the only way to seal everything away.
Standing before the mountain, Gu Chen remained expressionless, lost in thought. Finally, he took a deep breath, no longer wanting to see the devastation, and turned to leave.
The sky in the forest was about to brighten, and the fresh air, carrying the scents of earth and vegetation, greatly eased the oppressive mood Gu Chen had been experiencing in the underground world.
"The night passed just like that."
Gu Chen gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Gu Chen walked to the spot where Sun Jiangman had been injured. He saw that the woman lying on the ground had woken up. She was wearing her own loose robes, sitting on the ground, her pretty face showing no emotion, and she was speechless.
Gu Chen coughed lightly and then walked over.
"Um?"
After walking about ten meters, Gu Chen noticed that Sun Jiangman's expression was off; she seemed anxious and was gesturing to him with her eyes. He could only stand there, give an awkward smile, and say, "Heroine, you're awake? You slept quite well, didn't you?"
"Run, you idiot!"
Sun Jiangman angrily rebuked!
But at that moment, Gu Chen became alert, but it was too late!
A rustling sound came from all around, and then a group of people ran out from the surrounding woods!
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Although Gu Chen had never seen this man before, he could intuitively guess that he was Sixth Master Qin, the leader of the Venomous Snake Gang!
"You little brat, you have some nerve!"
Sixth Master Qin glanced warily into the depths of the snow-capped mountains, then turned to Gu Chen and said, "With such a commotion just now, how did you manage to come out alive!"
Sun Jiangman didn't understand what Sixth Master Qin meant by that, but Gu Chen noticed his gaze, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "You know there are people here?"
"Nonsense!" Sixth Master Qin said coldly, "On Xiaoxiang Peak, who doesn't know of his existence! It seems you really did escape this time and ran away from there. I'll just grab you and take you back to claim credit!"
Gu Chen smiled faintly. Although Sixth Master Qin knew of Wang Gui's existence, he was unaware that Wang Gui had already died at his hands, and was still thinking of using him to curry favor and seek rewards.
"Why are you laughing?"
Noticing the smile on Gu Chen's face, Sixth Master Qin flew into a rage, saying, "You're about to die, and you still dare to smile!"
Immediately, several members of the Venomous Snake Gang around them set up machine guns and rocket launchers, while the others took out submachine guns and held bombs!
They all turned their attention to Gu Chen, waiting for Sixth Master Qin's order!
The entire scene was extremely solemn!
Seeing this, Gu Chen instantly understood. No wonder the Venomous Snake Gang hadn't learned their lesson after so many deaths; they had used Sun Jiangman as bait while he was away, taking advantage of their superior weaponry to ambush him and lure him out!
After waking up, Sun Jiangman's strength was far inferior to before. Not only was there very little Inner Breath left in her dantian, but after being poisoned and tormented by Gu Chen, she had very little strength left.
At this moment, even Sun Jiangman, who had grown up in the Land of Heaven and Earth, turned deathly pale. She understood that under such firepower that used stillness to control movement, even if she wasn't injured, she would surely die!
"You've killed so many of my people and broken the rules of Xiaoxiang Peak. Surrender obediently, or I'll kill you first, then her!" Sixth Master Qin's eyes were cold as he suddenly shouted, "I'll give you three seconds to kneel down!"
Kneel down?
Gu Chen sneered inwardly, his body remaining completely still.
He looked as if he had gone mad with fear.
"Idiot, run!"
Sun Jiangman thought the same thing. Seeing that Gu Chen neither ran away nor knelt, she was extremely anxious and shouted in a shrill voice, "My guards are by the stream at Xiaoxiang Peak. Go find them and tell them to avenge me!"
"Don't worry, none of us will die." Gu Chen finally smiled and said, "Didn't you say that if a strong person is afraid of these guns, can they still be considered a strong person?"
"Are you stupid?" Sun Jiangman was amused by Gu Chen's words. At this critical moment of life and death, this idiot still had the mind to joke. Undying? Did he think all these things were just decorations? Even in her prime, she wouldn't have a chance of survival, let alone Gu Chen, who needed her protection!
Has this guy lost his mind?!
"You brat!" But his dismissive attitude enraged Sixth Master Qin, who gritted his teeth and said, "I've already given you a chance. Since you've chosen to die, then I'll kill you!"
"Shot!"
At Sixth Master Qin's command, the members of the Venomous Snake Gang immediately drew their weapons. The entire forest shook violently, flames filled the sky, and smoke billowed everywhere!
After sweeping for a few minutes, Sixth Master Qin spat on the ground, raised his hand to stop his men's attack. Then he looked in the direction where Gu Chen had been, sneered, and said, "Dare to oppose me? You're asking for death!"
But the smoke and dust from the gunfire around them quickly dissipated, revealing that the figure remained motionless, still standing firmly in place!
Gu Chen's expression remained unchanged, and his robes were not wrinkled at all!
Nothing's wrong at all!
The smile on Sixth Master Qin's face froze instantly, his eyes almost popping out as he stared at Gu Chen in disbelief!
That kind of firepower would have turned even an iron man into a sieve, and this guy is actually unharmed?!
This made Sixth Master Qin think of another monster living in the snow mountain. Gu Chen now is even more terrifying than the strongman who descended on Xiaoxiang Peak back then!
Startled, Sixth Master Qin took a few steps back and hurriedly shouted, "Rocket launcher, sniper rifle, bomb! Kill him! Quickly! Kill him!"
The members of the Venomous Snake Gang were also terrified and hurriedly did as they were told!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--
Three streaks of fire erupted as the rocket launcher, accompanied by a low roar and trailing a long plume of smoke, arrived in an instant!
Boom!
The three rocket launchers arrived almost simultaneously, striking Gu Chen and exploding instantly!
The massive shockwave generated a powerful shockwave that even Sun Jiangman on the ground couldn't withstand. She was thrown several meters away, fell to the ground, and coughed up blood.
Although Gu Chen was engulfed in smoke and dust, Sixth Master Qin was still worried. After cursing loudly, he ordered everyone to fire, then picked up a grenade and threw it at Gu Chen's location!
Bang!
The ground was blasted into a deep crater, and the surrounding trees were leaning and twisted!
Sixth Master Qin was panting heavily, his eyes filled with madness. Now, this kid should be dead, right? Even a heavy tank would be destroyed under such an attack, let alone a person!
But the next moment, the space fell into dead silence!
As the thick fog from the gunfire dissipated again, Gu Chen remained standing in the same spot, his expression almost exactly the same as before, except that it was even colder!
No injuries were reported!
"Have you had enough?"
Gu Chen's voice was calm and still, but to everyone who heard it, it sounded like the wailing of a demon from hell—eerie and terrifying! If he couldn't be killed even after all that, this guy wasn't human; he was a demon in human skin!
