Adventuring To Monsters

Zhang San said while forging iron, "Many mortals nowadays are proud of being able to enter the path of cultivation, but it is precisely because of this that some scammers in the city can cheat and cause fraud."

Beside the stove, Zhang San swung the last hammer, wiped the sweat off his face, and continued to say to Ye Xiu on the side, "Not everyone has the roots to cultivate immortality, and open up the sea of ​​consciousness. Even if the Grim Reaper comes down to this world to ferry you personally, it will be useless. Have you thought it through?"

Zhang San had been observing Ye Xiu for a long time. Although he didn't want Ye Xiu to leave, after all, Ye Xiu was now basically like his son. When he was old, he still wanted someone to take over the blacksmith shop, but as an elder, he couldn't stop a passionate young man from pursuing his dream.

"Well, I've thought about it. I need to man up what I should and shouldn't do, I know. I promised to help her find her brother, and I can't go back on my word." Ye Xiu nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing determination and tenacity.

"Alright! Young kids like you should have the vigor and courage of one! In this chaotic era, there are not many men like you!" Zhang San said with relief, and paused. "Then when do you plan to leave? I can also help you prepare. I will pay for your travel fees. If you have a promising future, remember your kindness. It doesn't matter whether you come back or not."

"Hehe, you're too kind Uncle Zhang, I will repay you in the future!" Ye Xiu smiled with white teeth, and then said "If possible, I want to leave tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll help you draw a map, and I'll sell the weapons today to help you get some money." Zhang San said enthusiastically, without trembling, and then started to act.

"Thank you, uncle!" Ye Xiu did not refuse. After all, there will be a traveling companion along the way. He has to bring enough money, and he must not let Xianxing go hungry again.

...

The next day.

The morning sun was like silver yarn falling on the ground like a box had just been opened. The light of the treasure will shine on the face, making it extremely comfortable and refreshing for adventure.

In front of the blacksmith shop.

"Big Brother Ye Xiu, Sister Xianxing, are you leaving?" Zhang Beihai, the little girl next to Zhang San, had a little yearning in her big watery eyes. At this time, she looked at Ye Xiu and Ye Xianxing reluctantly.

"don't cry. One day, I will come to see you and Uncle Zhang." Ye Xiu knelt slightly, smiling and touching Zhang Beihai's head.

"Sister Beihai, we will see each other again. When the time comes, I will bring both my brothers here!" The nine-year-old Ye Xianxing clenched her little pink fist and promised very seriously.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Zhang Beihai said.

Ye Xiu took his sister Xianxing and did not stay for long. He turned around with his pouch of coins and walked away in the warm sunshine of the early morning.

"Daddy, can they come back?" Zhang Beihai's eyes were full of tears, but she tried not to cry.

"The world is full of dust, and the road to cultivating immortals is full of thorns. Whether they can come back is unknown." Zhang San stroked his daughter's head, squatted down, and smiled gently. "Well, but Daddy believes they can come back."

...

According to the map.

Ye Xiu and Ye Xianxing walked for three days and two nights and finally left Cloud Rhythm City and went to a deep forest that could not be seen at a glance.

"Brother, how long will it take us?" Ye Xianxing asked while lying on Ye Xiu's back, helping Ye Xiu wipe the sweat on his forehead and both sides. "Why don't we rest?"

"This place is not like the forbidden of Eastern-Western Mountains. There are many monsters frequently appearing. We can't just stay overnight, else we become their meals." Ye Xiu picked up the map to look at it.

"According to the markings on the map, it should not be far away." He looked at the sky. "As long as we don't rest, we should be able to get there before dark."

"But brother, you look exhausted." Ye Xianxing said sensibly at this time, "Brother, put me down. I can walk by myself."

"If you walk by yourself, it's too slow." Ye Xiu said without hesitation.

"Oh..." Ye Xianxing's little mouth moved. The feeling of being powerless was awful. She secretly swore in her heart that she must become strong in the future so that she could protect her brother!

However, Ye Xiu didn't feel much tired, because he had been working in the blacksmith shop for half a year, which made him, who was originally a little sickly, much stronger.

You know, in any world, he had never done such hard work, and now he feels pretty good. They traveled a long way, over mountains and across ridges.

Half a day later.

The two came to the depths of the forest, far away from Cloud Rhythm City. There were bushes and jungles within a hundred miles, and occasionally they could hear the roars of some monsters.

"Please don't do anything to me on the way. If I meet a monster on this road, I will be dead." Ye Xiu prayed in his heart and took out an iron dagger he brought from the blacksmith shop. What he feared most now was meeting a monster. After all, he was just a powerless, ordinary person.

Roar!

Just as Ye Xiu finished praying, several beast calls rang out in the surrounding grass, and a gust of wind blew the grass and followed!

"Damn you, old Jade Emperor... The more you fear something, the more it will come to pass. Oh shit, just wait for me! Tsk!" Ye Xiu pursed his lips and pretended to be calm and helpless, but he was panicking.

There were five or six monsters in total. They were the size of dogs, not very big. Their brown fur was uneven, as if mice had gnawed it, and some places were hairless...

"silver-eyed gray wolf, a gregarious monster." This was the first time Ye Xiu saw a veritable monster. Even in the game, he was only questing, not slaying. The previous golden-winged roc should be considered a demon, not a monster.

While forging iron in the blacksmith shop, he read a lot of places of interest and historical sites about this world, as well as basic knowledge textbooks. He further his knowledge.

"Brother, I'm scared..." Ye Xianxing clutched Ye Xiu's shoulders and clothes.

Ye Xiu slowly retreated to the side of an ancient tree and carefully sent Ye Xianxing up "Stay up there, no matter what happens later. You must not come down unless I tell you to. These silver-eyed gray wolves won't climb trees, so it's safe to stay up there."

"Then come up too, brother!" Ye Xianxing said in a crying voice.

Ye Xiu looked at the old tree branch, which could not bear the weight of two people at all. He smiled bitterly, and thought, I want to, but it's a pity that this old tree branch is weak and can only hold a small girl...

Looking up at the sky sadly, Ye Xiu seemed to feel the deep malice of heaven!

Roar!

These wolf monsters began to circle Ye Xiu, showing some intelligence. They, as a monster, knew how to wear down the willpower of their "prey" slowly and find the right moment to launch a fatal attack.
