Chapter 64: First Exposure of Sharpness

  Walking in the dense forest, what catches the eye is vast expanses of lush green.

  Until now, Wu Yeyu's mood has eased a lot. The complicated and inexplicable feelings in his heart had unknowingly added many heavy burdens to him, which couldn't be described as any particular feeling. But Wu Yeyu, who always laughed and joked, avenging grudges and complaining about grievances, suddenly felt that things were becoming complicated inside.

  This is in stark contrast to the experiences and environment that Wu Yeru had previously encountered. In his past life, he was accompanied by Old Wu from an early age. You can't expect a rough and boisterous old man like him to have too much delicate emotions, let alone Old Wu who had developed a straightforward and simple living habit after years of being in the army. Therefore, under the influence of such a person, Wu Yeru grew up not to be a complicated person.

  After that, Old Wu also passed away, and Wu Yeru's life became even simpler. He had little contact with the people in Xiaoshan Village, although he was clever since childhood and had seen many things, which could be considered as having more experience. However, deep down, he was still a simple person who spent his days hunting in the forest, occasionally taking a break to rest when the harvest was good. He was used to being unrestrained and free.

  After accidentally coming to the other world, Wu Yeru's first thought was naturally how to protect himself. Later, he experienced Wen Xiyue and left her shadow in his heart. After parting with her, he received pressure from his family, which was not a light burden. As a result, Wu Yeru, who originally had clear goals in life, became somewhat confused for a while, or rather, had an uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

  "Hmph! What's the point of thinking so much now, I'm here to explore, who knows if there's a monster lurking in the shadows watching us right now. Can't be careless." Wu Yeyu thought to himself as he looked at the half-grown rabbit that had just darted out from the grass.

  The big black dog trotting behind Wu Ye Yu in small steps seemed to be completely disdainful of the prey that had crawled past its face, not even casting a sideways glance with its dog eyes, continuing to move forward steadily.

  Afterwards, Wu Ye Yu shifted his attention to the flowers and grasses in the dense forest, constantly using his reconnaissance techniques on some strange objects, occasionally taking a look here and there, and sometimes even digging up a few well-grown plants, along with the soil, into his backpack, which were actually sent into space for nurturing.

  Wu Ye Yu's current behavior, to others, was perfectly normal. After all, he was only a 10-year-old child now. At this age, no matter what he did, it couldn't be considered out of the ordinary, so nobody paid special attention to him.

  At this time, the road that everyone is advancing on is not the one that Wu Ye Yu usually takes along the stream, although there will be intersections later, but in terms of direction, there are still some differences. The road that everyone is walking on now is a straight path leading to the interior of the demon beast forest, and because there are relatively more adventurers coming and going here, it's actually quite easy to walk, and the road surface has also been trampled into a fairly large dirt road.

  Time passed quickly, and three hours had passed in the blink of an eye. The people on the road also took out their own dry rations to eat a meal, and then continued on their way without any delay. There was still some distance from here to the real Monster Forest, and at the speed at which the crowd was moving, it would probably take another two days to truly arrive at the Monster Forest.

  "Hey! Kid, can't you just take a break? Why bother digging up those useless things that don't have any use? And look at the ginseng in your hand, it's probably only 5 or 6 years old. You could throw it on the street and no one would even pick it up. A pharmacy would probably buy a whole bunch of them for just over a hundred taels of silver. Why bother digging it up?" Wu Zongyue asked, bored out of his mind as he watched Wu Yeyu running around, digging up useless herbs along the way.

  "Mind your own business, why bother about me? Am I disturbing you by digging some herbs?"

  Wu Ye Yu carefully placed the naturally grown wild ginseng wrapped in mud into his backpack, and then controlled the planting system to plant it properly. This thing was a treasure in his previous life, something ordinary people had never seen or used. Although it's a common object in this world, Wu Ye Yu still decided to collect it based on the principle of not letting go of any opportunity.

  "Hey! You're free, right? Alright! Then I'll find something for you to do. From here, it's about half a time unit's walk, and we'll arrive at a river. The water is turbulent, and the river surface isn't narrow either. Although there's a single-plank bridge built across it, coincidentally, there's been a group of horned crocodile beasts guarding that place for several months now. If ordinary people were to walk on the bridge and accidentally fall off, they'd basically be unable to get back up." Wu Zongyue saw that his words had caught Wu Yeyu's attention, so he continued with a self-satisfied smile.

  "You're also a cultivator now, although you haven't been out much, but this time I brought you along to broaden your horizons and gain some practical experience. So, I won't ask for much from you, just go take care of that group of horned crocodile beasts." As soon as Wu Zongyue's voice fell, it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding guards.

  "Let a little kid like him go collect those hundred or so Horned Beast? Can he really do it?" This was what the guards were thinking in their hearts, thinking that this Wu Siyoung wasn't someone they hadn't heard of before. In the past when he was at the manor, he was a master who could even glare at the servants, but recently he had only shown some promise because he had gotten into a fight with Wu San-young and gained status from it.

  Wu San Shao is what kind of goods, everyone is clear, this little kid probably just practiced a bit of martial arts, and it's easy to deal with him, but this is different from dealing with those wild beasts, one mistake will lead to trouble.

  "Hmm, master of the house, sending young master to deal with those crocodile beasts, isn't that a bit inappropriate? After all, he's still just a child. And although the crocodile beasts aren't very powerful, they have the advantage of numbers and are quite ferocious. What if young master accidentally..." A bearded guard spoke up, his words clearly conveying his concerns.

  "Haha, don't worry about this, I have my own plan. Before we set out, I already said that this kid's kung fu is not bad and he's also very clever. Haha, it seems you guys didn't take it to heart either? It just so happens that this opportunity will let you see the kid's skills." Wu Zongyue had a smile on his face, looking confident and composed, but the guards were left confused.

  Wu Ye Yu naturally heard his father's words and understood the meaning behind them. He had also long felt the disdain from the guards, so he took this opportunity to show off his skills. Wu Ye Yu thought it was necessary, at least later on he wouldn't have to endure the strange looks from the guards again. So, he didn't refute anything and continued digging up herbs and some beautiful plants.

  Half a time passed in the blink of an eye, and now everyone could faintly hear the sound of the river flowing. After walking for a while, people only felt a flash before their eyes, and a not-so-small river appeared in their line of sight, and the dense forest suddenly became bright and open.

  All that can be seen is a wide river, with a single tree trunk as wide as a person lying across it, which should be the lone wooden bridge. Underneath the bridge is the turbulent river water, with waves rising from time to time, some caused by rocks under the water and others stirred up by the crocodiles swimming around and competing for food.

  The dense alligator-like creatures, Wu Ye Yu took a rough look and estimated that there were about a hundred or so, spread out across the river, with around ten or so lying on this side of the bank sunbathing. If it were in his past life, Wu Ye Yu would have turned back without hesitation, but now...

  Wu Ye Yu didn't wait for anyone to urge him on, and he walked forward with a big stride, not trying to conceal his breath at all. At this time, the group of horned crocodiles lying on the shore also discovered Wu Ye Yu, and immediately came towards him, seemingly understanding how to cooperate, forming a encircling formation, quietly blocking the path in front of Wu Ye Yu, looking like they were about to launch an attack.

  Just then, Wu Ye Yu's feet suddenly lifted off the ground, his body twisted and disappeared from its original position, and with a loud thud, he jumped high into the air, falling down with incredible force onto the head of a horned alligator beast. With ease, he crushed its skull and created a small pit on the ground, splattering blood, brains, and gore everywhere. The horned alligator beast was naturally dead beyond dead, but because Wu Ye Yu had used his internal energy to protect himself, his body didn't get stained with any filth.

  Then Wu Yeran's feet didn't stop, accompanied by a strange body method, using his hands and feet together, fists and feet everywhere, the crocodile beast was directly broken bones and twisted body. Although the crocodile beast was said to be a good hunter, it couldn't keep up with Wu Yeran's speed and agility, and Wu Yeran's strength was also surprisingly great. The result was naturally visible, after several jumps, only a dozen or so bloody and blurred dead bodies were left in front of everyone.

  The guards, who were originally watching with a good show mentality, were actually scared at this moment, and only then did they know how ignorant their previous views were. The big black dog didn't have any abnormal reactions, ran up to sniff the group of corpses, and afterwards lost interest, trotting forward to follow up.

  After Wu Yeru settled those crocodile beasts, he didn't stop at all. With a flash of his body, he arrived at the shore and then raised both hands. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as if brewing something. When the guards and Old Man Jian rushed to this place, Wu Yeru's pair of crystal-like small fat hands clenched forcefully

  Only to see the vast river surface, near this side of a crocodile beast was immediately frozen into ice, struggling in vain, and then as if being lifted by an invisible force, slowly rising into the air, became a rootless duckweed.

  Wu Ye Yu's eyes suddenly opened wide, and then a burst of ice cones and icicles erupted from the body of the horned crocodile, easily piercing its soft abdomen and muscles. The horned crocodile's struggles and screams filled the air, accompanied by large drops of blood falling down, temporarily dyeing the river surface pink. Later, as Wu Ye Yu dropped his hands, dozens of horned crocodiles in the air lost their support and crashed into the water, their lives almost at an end.

  Although there are still many fish escaping the net in the river, they no longer have the courage to stay here. After all, the instinct of animals and beasts is to seek benefits and avoid harm. So, for a time, the water was turbulent and chaotic, and the surface of the river was in disarray.

  The remaining horned crocodile beasts fled in a hurry, and coincidentally, several panicked horned crocodile beasts actually ran towards the crowd, extremely fast, much stronger than those before.

  Wu Ye turned his head to look at the big black dog squatting beside him, who was scratching its foot with its hind legs. He lightly kicked it and said: "I'll leave these few to you, and also let me see if your current level of demon beast strength has any water in it."

  Recommendations wanted!!!

  Also, I'd like to recommend a book written by my good friend, who's a beautiful Eurasian girl, only 16 years old. She's got a bit of an attitude problem, but you know what I mean~v~, the book is called "The Demon King is a Moe", hope everyone will support it!
