C8 Cutting down tree

Chapter VIII Chopping Trees

Although he was full of disapproval of the old man, he still obediently walked towards those thick and long tree trunks. After a careful observation, he came up with a plan. He secretly felt the Qi flow in his body and tried to control it with the Spiritual Sense.

However, he quickly realized his mistake. This thing seemed like a mischievous little monkey, he couldn't control it at all. Every time he felt a tiny bit of sensation, the stream of air would immediately escape. He had no way of controlling it.

For this reason, he was also sweating profusely. At this moment, his attention was extremely focused, so focused that he didn't notice it at all. This made him feel very uncomfortable. However, he had the spirit of not admitting defeat and continued to persevere. Unknowingly, he felt the surrounding sky darken. Only now did he know that it was already dark.

He turned around to look for the old man, only to find that the old man had shamelessly gone to bed. The door to the hut was closed. He had to find a place to lie down and sleep. It was at this time that he noticed that there were no Demonic Beast within a kilometer radius of him. Even the most powerful one. This also made him feel a lot more at ease. Since there was no danger, he could rest without worry. Thus, he found a large tree and leaned on it. Soon, he fell asleep.

In his dreams, he kept thinking about how to use that energy flow. That stream of air seemed to have entered his mind as well. He was constantly provoking him!

"You won't be able to run away." Dugu Hong said excitedly as he pointed to the current of air in front of him. However, the look of disdain on the other side's face drove him mad.

Thus, he pounced towards that stream of air. Although he moved very quickly, the speed of that surge of air wasn't slow either. With just a flash, Dugu Hong directly fell to the ground like a dog eating its food. Fortunately, he was in a dream and did not feel any pain.

He climbed up from the ground and then chased after them, one after the other. Dugu Hong's dream became more and more real. The more he failed to catch up, the crazier he became. In the end, he panted as he looked at the air current in front of him that was as calm as ever. His eyes were completely red. This time, he definitely had to capture the other party.

Next, his eyes focused on the stream of air. However, his body didn't move, and his legs started to bend slightly. He raised his hands as well. The current of air in front of him seemed to sense his change. He even started to provoke and twist around in front of him.

He was going to anger him again. Unfortunately, Dugu Hong continued to stare at the current of air in front of him. There was no signs of violence. This caused the airflow to feel very surprised. But it was still not too worried, after all, Dugu Hong's performance was just right there!

Just as the stream of air was feeling proud, Dugu Hong's body moved. He suddenly dodged to the side, causing the stream of air to jump out of his skin. He quickly dodged to the other side. Unfortunately, it was wrong this time. Because, Dugu Hong's previous movements were just a blur. His true direction was precisely the direction of the airflow.

With a decisive clench of his hands, he grabbed onto the air current. He felt that he was bound. The stream of air struggled with all its might. But who was Dugu Hong! How could he let something that was in his hands escape? Therefore, he tried his best to hold on tightly. After an unknown amount of time, the stream of air finally stopped resisting.

Lying in his hands, even if Dugu Hong had to let go, he had no intention of escaping. It looks like this capture had made it realize its unwillingness! Following that, Dugu Hong did something very interesting. He hugged the stream of air to his chest. He was about to go to sleep.

Eyebrows... Wasn't he already dreaming?

"Get up!" A sudden shout made him reflexively jump up from the ground. He didn't even open his eyes. He was really too tired. Even a dream was so tiring.

After he felt the sound, there was no more movement. Dugu Hong immediately swayed on his feet and was about to lie down. However, a gust of wind came. Then he felt something hit him on the head, and when he subconsciously touched his head, he found that it was already bundled up.

"Can't you be a little lighter?" Dugu Hong sneaked a glance at the serious looking old man and muttered.

"Hurry up and cook!" The old man rolled his eyes at Dugu Hong and went straight to the thatched cottage. Only Dugu Hong was left standing there in a daze. I have become a free chef now. However, after thinking about it, he still obediently walked towards the so-called kitchen.

"Eh, why is there nothing?" When Dugu Hong arrived at the kitchen, he saw that other than the pot, there seemed to be nothing else. This made him admire this old man very much.

If he didn't cook every day, what would he eat? As Dugu Hong thought of this, his own stomach let out a rumbling sound. Thus, he had no choice but to turn around and walk outside. He wanted to see what other ingredients he could find in the forest.

"Is this a mushroom?" Seeing the huge mushroom like object in his hands, Dugu Hong could not believe his eyes. However, he was still very familiar with the characteristics of mushrooms. Although it was a bit big, it was indeed a mushroom.

After picking a few, he continued to search for other ingredients. After a while, he did manage to get a lot of good stuff. Mushroom, wood ear, mountain bamboo, a big pot of honey. This was completely natural. He even caught two pheasants. This pheasant was truly plump! He was drooling at the sight of it.

When the smell of the kitchen reached the hut, the old man came out. When he saw a big pot of hot chicken soup. He picked up a pheasant and began to eat. It was as if he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Seeing his movements, Dugu Hong knew that if he moved slower, his movements would become slower. He didn't even have time to drink the soup. Thus, he picked up a chicken and rushed out as well. This made the old man feel somewhat embarrassed.

After quickly eating the chicken, he felt a thirst to drink the chicken soup. However, when he entered the kitchen, he found that the old man was holding up the pot. At this moment, he was gulping down the soup!

"Leave one for me!" Seeing that there were not many left in the wok, Dugu Hong hurried to grab it. But how could he be the old man's match! He was kicked out immediately. Helpless, Dugu Hong could only go and grab some mountain spring water to quench his thirst.

When he once again appeared in front of those huge trees, he began to attempt to control the airflow within his body. As a result, he found that the transfer was very smooth. The stream of air flowed directly into his right arm at his will. Then, without much difficulty, he chopped down a large tree. Although the incision was not very neat. However, this was already very good.

What happened next was much easier. Not long after, he finished chopping down a huge tree that was over a hundred feet tall. However, he was also extremely tired. Just as he was about to sit down and rest, the old man appeared.

"Hurry up and prepare lunch. It's a shame to be so tired for such a small matter! " The old man's words were extremely sarcastic.
