Chapter 13: Man-Made Disaster

Southern Xinjiang, Lanni Mountain.

It was approaching noon, the rising sun was shining high in the sky, and the sky was clear and cloudless.

Somewhere in the forest behind Lanni Mountain, a young boy was confronting a big bear.

The atmosphere was tense.

The bear was nine feet tall, fat and strong, and its fur was brown, thick and shiny. At this time, the bear's mouth opened wide, revealing its sharp fangs, and its red eyes stared at the young man in front of him with a fierce look.

The boy who was confronting this big bear was probably only fifteen or sixteen years old.

He was only five feet tall, and compared to the big bear, he looked even more petite and delicate.

The young man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and piercing eyes. He faced the big bear bravely without any intention of backing down.

Roar!

The brown bear roared loudly, opened its mouth, and pounced on the boy.

Although the brown bear looks bulky, all experienced hunters know that the explosive power of the bear is extremely strong.

The brown bear suddenly moved from stillness to explosive speed, which was astonishingly fast!

The young man could only feel the roar of the fishy wind in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, the brown bear had already pounced in front of him.

But the young man's expression remained unchanged, and he activated the Gu worm at the last moment.

Move the Gu worm to move a certain distance quickly.

The brown bear jumped into the air and hit the big tree behind the boy.

With a muffled bang, the thick tree trunk was immediately broken by the brown bear.

A creaking sound was heard next, and the big tree fell down suddenly, hitting the ground with another muffled sound.

A large number of birds were flying around in panic high into the sky.

The young man secretly took a deep breath and thought: Fortunately, he escaped in time. Otherwise, if he is hit directly by this bear beast, even if he has defensive Gu insects, he will suffer serious fractures and injuries.

However, since he dodged this blow, the situation shifted greatly towards the young man.

The young man's eyes sparkled, and he shouted: "Big stupid bear, look at this young master's sword energy Gu!"

Before he finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and aimed slightly behind the brown bear.

next moment.

Chi.

With a soft sound, a pale white, translucent sword energy shot out from the young man's fingers.

The sword energy quickly flew through the air and hit the brown bear in the back.

However, the brown bear's body suddenly smelled of wild poison. On the brown bear's back, the fur suddenly condensed, forming a hard plate-like appearance.

The sword energy hit the hard board, making a muffled sound, and the sword energy was immediately consumed.

The brown bear stretched out its fat body and showed no injuries at all.

It shook its head, having woken up from its dizziness, and turned around again to target the boy.

The young man was stunned.

"Is there any mistake? This big stupid bear actually has wild defensive Gu on it. How can this young master use the Sword Qi Gu to fight? Grandpa, you couldn't have put the wild Gu on the brown bear intentionally. Right?" the boy yelled.

"Hehehe, my dear grandson, Grandpa and I found this brown bear after walking more than ten miles on the mountain road. It is a good opponent for you." A voice came from the tree trunk.

It turned out that the young man's grandfather had been sitting on a high tree trunk, watching the battle between his grandson and the brown bear.

The young man's greatest tool is Sword Qi Gu.

But at this moment, dealing with brown bears is extremely ineffective. Every time the sword energy is used, it can only cut off some bear hair at most.

There was no other way, so the young man had no choice but to hide in all directions.

The brown bear is ferocious, but it is still a beast and lacks intelligence.

Although the boy couldn't do anything to the brown bear, he was very spiritual and had many battles in the past. He used his experience to dodge around, but the brown bear repeatedly missed and knocked down many trees.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of the young man, the grandfather laughed loudly: "You brat, do you know the weakness of your sword energy Gu now? It is a piercing attack. Once it is restrained, it will consume the real energy in vain and have no effect. Come, grandson, take the poison."

As he spoke, the grandfather raised his hand and threw a Gu worm to the young man.

In order to take advantage of this Gu insect, the young man was almost slapped by a bear's paw and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he was smart and rolled repeatedly on the ground, finally avoiding the brown bear's bite with great danger.

After pulling away, he jumped up and stood up again.

"This is mud Gu!"

The young man shouted and recognized the Gu worm in his hand.

Although this Gu worm was not his, it was lent to him by his grandfather, and the young man started using it without any barriers.

True essence was poured into the mud Gu, and the Gu worms bloomed with a gray light.

With a slight shake of the young man's palm, the gray light on the Gu insect broke away and landed at the brown bear's feet.

Gululu...

A large number of bubbles emerged from the soil under the brown bear's feet.

In the blink of an eye, the land turned into a puddle of soft mud.

The brown bear's two feet were stuck in the mud and he was trapped.

It struggled wildly, throwing out countless mud.

The mud hit the young man's body and face. The young man was too nervous to care about it and quickly activated the mud Gu again.

The gray light hit the mud again.

The brown bear had already sunk to the bottom of the mud pit, and was about to climb out during a violent struggle.

But when hit by gray light again, the mud pit immediately became deeper and larger.

All four limbs of the brown bear were trapped in it, and the more it struggled, the deeper it sank.

The brown bear stood up, but the depth of the mud reached its waist.

The young man activated the mud Gu for the third time, completely establishing the victory.

The brown bear sank again, and finally only one head emerged, roaring unwillingly.

"We finally won." The young man was so weak that he sat down on the ground, breathing heavily.

His face was pale, and all his true energy had been exhausted.

With a soft sound, the young man's grandfather jumped down from the tree trunk, leaping several feet away and standing in front of the young man.

"You brat, do you know the benefits of mud Gu now? Without this Gu, how can you defeat this brown bear?" Grandpa lectured.

The young man didn't answer, and after breathing for a few more times, he snorted coldly, looked up at his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, you did this on purpose. Don't you just want me to give up the way of the sword and change to the earthen way of our Ni family?"

Grandpa curled his finger, tapped the boy on the head, and said with a mixture of love and hate: "Boy, it would be great if you could use your intelligence to practice in the earthly way."

The young man covered his head with his hands and shouted: "But I just like the way of kendo. When the sword energy is released, it is so cool and handsome. The dirt is so dirty, Grandpa, look at me, there are all mud spots on my body. After a game After the battle, all grace is gone."

When grandpa heard this, he immediately stared and was about to lecture.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard the clanging bells coming from the front mountain.

The grandfather and grandson were immediately moved.

The young man jumped up, stood up from the ground, looked at the front mountain, and said anxiously: "Ah! This is the clan's alarm bell Gu. The alarm bell is so urgent, what happened?"

"Let's go!" Grandpa was even more decisive. He stretched out his big hand, grabbed the boy's collar, stepped on it with both feet, and ran towards the mountain.

The young man felt the wind whistling in his ears, and the tree shadows in front of him quickly receded from him.

He was shocked: "Is this the true strength of a rank five Gu Master? Such a fast speed..."

After a dozen breaths, the young man's eyes were sure to be placed on the ground by his grandfather.

He was in a fog, and his speed dropped sharply, which made him feel uncomfortable. His stomach churned violently, and he almost vomited.

"Lord Patriarch."

"I've met the patriarch."

The young man immediately heard the familiar voices of the family elders.

He barely stood up and was surprised to find that he was already standing on the wall of the Ni family's village.

The young man's grandfather is Ni Kun, the head of the Ni family and a rank five Gu master.

Ni Kun frowned slightly and asked solemnly: "What happened? Are you going to sound the alarm bell in the clan again and again?"

"Clan leader, the situation is urgent, please take a look!"

A family elder activated the family Gu array, which was a reconnaissance Gu array, acting on Ni Kun.

Ni Kun's eyes flickered with various images. At this moment, he had already seen the scene a hundred miles away from the village.

He took a breath, frowned, and a look of confusion appeared on his face: "It turned out to be a tide of beasts! It's strange, we have overcome this tide of beasts more than a year ago. The size of the herd of beasts around the village is not enough. It forms a tide of beasts.”

"Yeah, we're wondering too."

"When things go wrong, there will always be a monster! I suggest sending an elite Gu Master to investigate the cause."

"Let's focus on defense. This beast wave is unprecedented in scale. Whether we can defend the stronghold is still a question."

Ni Kun's face was as pale as iron.

The crisis was so sudden and so severe.

His grandson Ni Jian was even more confused. It was clear that it was sunny and peaceful before, but in the blink of an eye, we are facing the crisis of family destruction and death.

"The beast herd is coming fiercely, and its scale is terrifying that has not been seen in decades. Nijiazhai is already facing a critical moment of life and death. Activate the three layers of defensive Gu formations! Second Elder, Third Elder, you two Go down quickly and lead two elites to preside over the Heavenly Fire Gu Formation! Sixth Elder, you command the Medicine Hall as backup. Elder Seventh, order you to check the Teleportation Gu Formation. If there is any disharmony, remove all the people in the village. Send all the seeds away..." Ni Kun ordered repeatedly.

All the elders also understood that the situation was critical and took the order to set off, showing their vigour.

The herd of beasts rolled over like a stormy sea.

Wherever it went, smoke and dust were everywhere, and countless trees in the mountains and forests were broken.

Young Ni Jian stood on the wall of the village and saw this scene. He was frightened and his face became paler.

He had never seen such a ferocious beast.

Generally speaking, animal tides are dominated by a single animal species, such as wolves, tigers, etc. But the tide of beasts in front of them included countless beasts, including wolves, tigers, leopards, cows, deer, foxes, sparrows, snakes, etc., all mixed in among them.

"Weird! How come these beasts don't kill each other, but act in unison to attack our clan's stronghold?!" Grandpa Ni Kun said in a deep voice.

The next moment, Ni Kun's body shook, and the Ni family's Gu Masters beside him also bulged their eyes.

The speed of the huge and terrifying tide of beasts dropped sharply, and then they all stopped moving forward.

Countless and huge herds of beasts are located thousands of steps away from the village wall, ready to move and watching eagerly.

The Ni family Gu Masters looked at each other, all surprised and confused.

A Qiuhu emerged from the crowd.

Qiuhu is a strange beast, huge in size, far beyond ordinary, like a small hill.

Fang Yuan was lying half on Qiu Hu's back, looking at everyone in the Ni family with half-squinted eyes.

Seeing Fang Yuan, the Ni family Gu masters all exclaimed.

Ni Jian's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized - this tide of beasts was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! 〖To be continued, provided by Qing Yierya〗
