Chapter 367 Boy, we meet again!
Chu Xiaomu walked through the woods for a while, and after about five or six miles he arrived at the edge of a cliff. There was thick fog under the cliff, and he didn't know how deep it was below.
When he looked around, he saw more peaks, most of which were higher than the invisible peak he was standing on. Only the tops of these peaks were visible in the mist, some were pointed, some were round, some were thick, some were thin, some were slanted, some were upside down, and there were all kinds of strange shapes... The flying bell was empty, and the stone bridge connected the vastness, like strange islands in the sea of mist.
Chu Xiaomu thought that this mountain was inferior to other mountains in terms of shape, momentum, height and location. The only special thing about it was that the King of Beasts, one of the four spiritual kings of Cangmu Kingdom, lived on it. But he didn't know why it was called "Bujian Peak". Did they randomly choose the word "Bujian" or did it have other meaning?
Continuing to walk around the top of the mountain, after a cliff on the north side there is a steep slope. The slope is full of strange trees and vines, and there is no trace of a road. I thought that only magical beasts like Qisheng, Golden Bear, and Leopard Dianzi could come up easily. If it were other wild beasts or ordinary people, it would take a lot of effort to come up.
The top of the mountain was not big, and Chu Xiaomu walked and stopped, and it only took him an hour and a half to walk around. When he was about to return to the wooden house, he found a slightly strange place behind several wooden houses. When he got closer, he saw that it was a small thatched shed. Under the shed there was a large iron furnace, a stone anvil, and a stone hammer. On the ground next to the stone anvil were dozens of rusty axes and swords, which were obviously not finished.
Looking at these crude weapons, Chu Xiaomu thought that there were not many beast spirits on the top of the mountain, and he wondered which one of them could forge swords and weapons. This was another rare thing.
When he returned to the original wooden house, Golden Bear had already picked a lot of wild fruits. He was now leaning against a log to rub the itch on his back, with a look of comfort and enjoyment on his face.
Chu Xiaomu was also a little hungry, so he sat on the haystack and picked up wild fruits on the ground and started to eat. His body had gradually recovered, so he ate more than before. Seeing this, the golden bear stared at him and kept shouting, "Eat slowly, eat less, leave some for me... Oh..."
Chu Xiaomu was full after eating seven or eight, and picked up another seven or eight that looked good to feed Qisheng, and there was still a lot left, probably enough for the golden bear and the white-haired old ape.
Er Ling was eating happily when two people with very strange clothes and leg shapes walked in.
Chu Xiaomu looked up and saw that they were the two beast spirits Xiangli and Sihu whom he had seen before.
The two animal spirits, the elephant and the tiger, were also very surprised when they saw Chu Xiaomu.
One of them said in surprise: "Are you the guy who set fire to my Beast Mountain?!"
The other one said viciously: "Are you the boy who stole the wood spirit fruit?!"
Chu Xiaomu didn't expect to run into them here, and he was immediately embarrassed. Besides, he couldn't deny either of the two things, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, I was the one who set the mountain on fire, and I was also the one who ate the wood spirit fruit."
While eating wild fruits, Golden Bear said, "His name is Chu Xiaomu. He came from an island in the West Sea and is now a soldier in Bicheng."
Sihu let out a low strange cry: "Boy, we meet again!" Then he looked around and asked: "Where is Chenghuang? Why isn't he here?"
Chu Xiaomu was unwilling to reveal that Qisheng was the reincarnation of Chenghuang. He originally wanted to lie to Sihu that Chenghuang was nearby to prevent this guy from making things difficult for him. But when he thought that Xiangli already knew about Chenghuang's death, he could not deceive Sihu and had to keep silent.
When Xiangli heard Sihu mention Chenghuang, the affection on his face suddenly turned into heartbreak. His tall and fat body sat down on the ground with a bang, and the whole wooden house was almost shaken down. Then he burst into tears and said, "Chenghuang is dead, my good brother Chenghuang is dead... wow... wow..." Although the crying did not contain much sadness, it was deafening.
Sihu said: "How is it possible? When I saw him in Weirui Ancient Forest a few months ago, he was able to show his true spiritual body, and he was protecting Bicheng, the kid who stole the spiritual fruit. I was so mad!" While speaking, he stared at Chu Xiaomu fiercely, with a fierce light in his eyes.
Xiangli suddenly stopped crying and said, "He told me that. I didn't believe it at first, but then I ran to Shenma Pond and really saw a few remnants of its spirit left behind. Chenghuang is dead, my good brother Chenghuang is dead...wa...wa..." He started crying inexplicably again.
Chu Xiaomu felt sad when he thought of Shenma's life-saving grace.
The white-haired old ape, the golden bear, and the tiger were all annoyed by his crying and kept persuading him to stop crying. Fortunately, Leopard Dianzi was not there, otherwise he would have rushed up to fight him.
Xiangli said: "Of course you don't care. You are not familiar with him. He and I are very good brothers. According to the rules of our Beast Mountain, when a good friend or brother dies, you must cry three times. This is only the second time... Wow..." He cried even harder this time, and his voice shook the wooden house, and his tears flowed like rain.
The golden bear didn't care at all and ate the wild fruits in big mouthfuls. The tiger seemed quite irritable but helpless. Chu Xiaomu and the white-haired old ape couldn't stand it anymore and had to hold their ears tightly with their hands.
When Sihu heard that Chenghuang was dead, his expression suddenly became very ferocious. He stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Xiaomu in front of him, saying viciously: "I have said it before, if you steal the spiritual fruit, I will never forgive you! Give me your spiritual body!" After saying that, he opened his mouth wide and pretended to bite it off.
Xiangli was still crying and the golden bear was still eating, not caring at all whether Chu Xiaomu would be bitten to death by the tiger.
Chu Xiaomu was not a timid person, and he also knew that Sihu would not really kill him in front of Xiangli and Jinxiong.
But for some reason, when he was caught by the tiger, he felt his hands and feet were inexplicably sore and weak, and his heart and courage were shattered. This was something he had never experienced before.
"They stole the wood spirit fruit and led the evil spirits of the Red Sand Country to the Beast Mountain. None of the people from Bicheng are good! Even if they are at Bujian Peak, I will kill them without hesitation!" The tiger's face was ferocious, and its huge mouth full of sharp teeth bit down towards Chu Xiaomu's head.
Fortunately, the white-haired old ape finally spoke: "Sihu, my king said that after healing his wounds, send him down from Bujian Peak. It won't be too late for you to kill him then."
The white-haired old ape's words were not very majestic, but the tiger did not dare to disobey. As expected, it stopped biting and asked, "Heal the wound? What wound do you want to heal? Why does my king want to heal the wound of this man from Bicheng?"
The white-haired old ape just snorted and ignored him.
Sihu did not ask him any more questions, but asked Golden Bear instead: "You who are holding the wood, tell me!"
While eating the fruit, Golden Bear said, "This kid was beaten by a certain kind of person and almost died."
"He was a city dweller. If he dies, he dies. What's there to save him?"
"The person who hurt him used a very strange spiritual technique, which was very powerful." Golden Bear replied.
