Chapter 263 - 263 The Law of the Jungle
263 The Law of the Jungle
Gu Mingzhou obviously angered the Bloody Corpse Monkey. Seeing the long spear coming at it, it did not retreat. Instead, it advanced. Its slender arms suddenly waved out, and its sharp claws instantly grabbed the spear.
Buzzzzzz!
The sharp, ear-piercing sound rang out again, and sparks flew in all directions!
Gu Mingzhou’s spear, which he had thrust out with all his might, was actually blocked by the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s hands.
Moreover, he was even sent flying in the air and was forced to retreat when he landed.
Of course, the Bloody Corpse Monkey didn’t have much advantage either. It was also forced back by the impact. The nails on its right claw were shattered, and it was a bloody mess. A sticky green liquid was dripping from it, emitting a pungent smell.
“Are you alright?” Jing Wudao asked in a worried voice while he rushed forward with open arms to catch Gu Mingzhou and help him relieve the force.
“Cough, I’m fine!” Gu Mingzhou turned around with a pale face and forced a smile at Jing Wudao.
Although he had only shattered one of the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s nails, he could not defeat it.
However, the considerable backlash also caused Gu Mingzhou’s dantian to roll and touch his old injuries.
“Alright, now that you’ve tried, rest first. Leave the rest to me.” Jing Wudao let go of Gu Mingzhou’s hand after he steadied himself and prepared to fight!
“The Bloody Corpse Monkeys were monsters that live in groups. If we stay here too long, a group of them might appear. Let’s end this quickly!” Gu Mingzhou thought for a while and said.
“Don’t worry! I know what to do.” Jing Wudao reached out and patted Gu Mingzhou’s shoulder.
Before he finished his words, he jumped up and slashed at the Bloody Corpse Monkey with the soft sword in his hand.
“Ook! Ook!” The Bloody Corpse Monkey shrieked ferociously. Although it feared Jing Wudao, Gu Mingzhou had completely stimulated its beast nature.
It no longer had the fear it had before, and its robust body directly pounced at Jing Wudao.
However, Jing Wudao clearly knew the Bloody Corpse Monkeys very well and knew their attacks very well, so he did not confront them directly.
Instead, he pointed at the air and landed behind the Bloody Corpse Monkey. Then, he stabbed the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s back.
Whoosh!
The Qingfeng flexible sword, which was as thin as a cicada’s wing, instantly pierced through the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s loose grayish-white fur and directly into its flesh.
A sticky green liquid immediately flowed out of the sword, accompanied by a pungent smell.
The Bloody Corpse Monkey shrieked in pain and came back to its senses!
He extended his right claw, still dripping with green blood, and directly grabbed the Qingfeng flexible sword. His right arm trembled, trying to snatch the weapon away with brute force.
“Hmph! A small trick!” Jing Wudao’s face revealed a disdainful expression as if he already knew the Bloody Corpse Monkey would grab the Qingfeng flexible sword. He immediately shook his right arm and let out a light Shout!
“Bind!”
Before he could finish his words, the Qingfeng flexible sword, which had just been caught by the Bloody Corpse Monkey, suddenly came to life as if it had a mind of its own. The sword twisted and broke away from the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s sharp claws.
Then, like a venomous snake, it coiled around the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s right arm.
The Bloody Corpse Monkey turned pale with fright and immediately shook its right arm to free itself from the restraints. However, Jing Wudao attacked again as soon as it moved.
“Kill!” Jing Wudao let out an explosive shout. The Qingfeng flexible sword that was tightly wrapped around the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s right arm suddenly rose and pierced through the entire arm.
Jing Wudao didn’t take the chance to cripple the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s right arm.
Instead, he took two steps forward with a cold expression on his face. His right arm shook violently, and the Qingfeng flexible sword, which had pierced through the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s right arm, was thrust forward!
The sharp Qingfeng flexible sword immediately pierced through the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s head.
A large amount of thick green liquid instantly shot out!
It was a mixture of brain and blood, but it was dark green and extremely thick!
The Qingfeng flexible sword, which had pierced through the monkey’s brain, shot out like a water column, splashing for several miles and almost splashing on Gu Mingzhou.
Jing Wudao pierced through the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s brain. Without any hesitation, he immediately withdrew his sword and retreated.
Plop!
The flexible sword left the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s body. The Bloody Corpse Monkey’s face was still as ferocious as before. Then, it fell to the ground and died.
Of course, it had no life force to begin with.
“Dead?” Gu Mingzhou walked closer and asked carefully.
“That’s right! It’s already dead.” Jing Wudao put away his sword and nodded at Gu Mingzhou. At the same time, he walked toward the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s corpse.
Gu Mingzhou still couldn’t believe it. He kicked the Bloody Corpse Monkey on the ground and confirmed it was dead.
“Of course. I’ve dealt with the Bloody Corpse Monkeys here before. Although they are fierce, they have a fatal weakness.” Jing Wudao walked to the side of the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s corpse, pointed at its head with his sword, and explained.
The source of their life was all gathered in their monkey brains. As long as the monkey brains were cut off, they would be completely dead. Otherwise, it would only become more courageous as the battle progressed, and he was not afraid of death, making him particularly difficult to deal with!
“I see!” Gu Mingzhou nodded and said.
It was no wonder he had used all his strength to injure its right claw severely but had no effect on it. Instead, it had only infuriated it even more.
“Let’s go. The Bloody Corpse Monkeys live in groups, and their blood has a particularly strong stench. I’m afraid that it will attract other Bloody Corpse Monkeys. We’ve just arrived here and aren’t familiar with this place. It’s not suitable for us to fight for a long time.”
Jing Wudao said to Gu Mingzhou as he put away his Green Crest flexible sword.
“What about it?” Gu Mingzhou nodded and pointed at the Bloody Corpse Monkey’s corpse.
“What do you mean? This thing is full of the smell of death and is useless to us. Its companions will eat the body,” Jing Wudao shook his head and explained, then turned to leave.
“Where are we going now?” Gu Mingzhou quickly followed, occasionally turning back to look at the corpses.
“We’re unfamiliar with this place. Let’s get familiar with the situation first and see if there’s any opportunity!” Jing Wudao said as he walked.
The place they were at was still very barren. They should be at the edge of the ruins.
All historical remains had natural treasures, and one might even be able to find great possibilities.
“Forget about the opportunity. I just want to leave this place as soon as possible and find out the truth.” Gu Mingzhou shook his head and smiled.
The so-called treasures of heaven and earth were bound to be filled with danger and the habitat of fierce beasts.
Right now, Gu Mingzhou only wanted to find the truth as soon as possible and start cultivating.
As for the other things, Gu Mingzhou did not care.
Only after experiencing the pain of losing one’s loved one would one know what one should cherish in life.
“It’s not strange for you to have such thoughts. But have you ever thought about whether it’s in this world, the Great Zhou Dynasty, or the unknown lands? How can one survive without power?” Jing Wudao had long since seen through the law of the jungle, and the rule was to use your fist.
“Besides, after going through Xu Fengyu’s incident, don’t you realize the seriousness of the matter? Even if you’re not the Young Lord they speak of, once they decide you’re the one, they’ll definitely kill you.”
Gu Mingzhou fell into deep thought.
Jing Wudao was right. This was a world where the strong ruled, and it was also a world where killing was everywhere.
Whether you want to live or protect the people you want to protect, you can never lack strength.
