C19 Tremella
His boorish voice echoed through the Black Bamboo Forest, shaking down many bamboo leaves.
A large man wearing a beast robe and carrying an arrow quiver on his back, carrying a machete on his waist and holding a bow in his hand, walked over.
Behind him was a slightly skinny youth wearing a brocade robe.
"Ninth Young Master, go check if the Tremella is dead yet."
The sturdy man said to the teenager behind him as he nocked and aimed at Gu Hao with the arrow.
Hearing that, the young ninth young master nodded, then ran towards the Tremella, after inspecting it, he turned and said to the sturdy man: "Uncle Liu Ming, you're dead!"
Hearing that, a look of happiness flashed across the sturdy man Liu Ming's face, he looked at Gu Hao and said coldly: "Brat, you can scram now. This Tremella is my prey after chasing after it for an entire day. "
"Your prey?"
Gu Hao frowned. When he saw the injuries on the Tremella's body, he had guessed that the Tremella had been hunted before.
But so what?
In the vast Black Bamboo Forest, demonic beasts were everywhere. You can't say, if you randomly injure one, just say it's yours.
"Yes, my prey!"
At the same time, he used the bow and arrow in his hand and deliberately shook it towards Gu Hao's head, as a form of threat.
"Get lost!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite! "
Gu Hao immediately laughed, he really did not expect that killing a Tremella would allow others to bully him.
Just that, would Gu Hao be willing to be bullied?
When he escaped from Wu Yi's grasp, Gu Hao was no longer that kind and honest youth who knew nothing of the world.
The current Gu Hao was well aware of the principles behind the bullying of good people and the rule of respecting the strong.
Therefore, facing Liu Ming's threat, Gu Hao's gaze turned cold. His body instantly charged forward as his spirit energy gushed out and he smashed his fist down.
Liu Ming originally thought that the youth in front of him was afraid of the bow and arrow in his hands, so he retreated in fear. Just as he was rejoicing in his heart, today he was lucky to be able to meet a Tremella. If he were to sell this thing to the Qingyang City, it would be worth it.
Actually, this Tremella wasn't what Liu Ming said he had been chasing for a whole day.
Liu Ming was the's County Capital's Mercenary Guard, while the Ninth Young Master was the son of Mo Zhujun, the Head of the Guards, Yi Jiu. Originally, the two of them had nothing better to do, so they entered the Black Bamboo Forest to hunt. However, just in time to see an injured Tremella, so he hurriedly chased after it. Unfortunately, he was a step too late, and was killed by Gu Hao early.
However, this did not affect the usually tyrannical people of County Governor Manor in the slightest. Killing them was perfect, as it saved himself the trouble of doing so. As for the place of return, the entire Mo Zhujun was under their control, how about this demon beast? Just snatch it.
However, he was wrong in the end.
Firstly, Gu Hao was not a citizen of Yan Nation, he did not know anything about Mo Zhujun. Furthermore, even if Gu Hao knew, with Gu Hao's character now, how could he so easily give away the food he had?
Secondly, Gu Hao could tell that this strong man only had a cultivation level of the Yang Realm, while that Ninth Young Master was obviously still in the Body Refinement Realm. With this kind of cultivation, he couldn't even use his elemental energy, let alone two people, even four people might not be a match for this Tremella. Furthermore, he would have to heavily injure or even kill the Tremella.
That was why Gu Hao attacked without the slightest hesitation.
It wasn't as if he hadn't experienced this before. When he was in Wu, most of the time he would choose to retreat when faced with this kind of situation.
Boom! *
Gu Hao's fist, was incomparably ferocious, and instantly smashed onto Liu Ming's chest.
Before Liu Ming could even react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and the arrow flew out of his hand. His entire body was sent flying, crashing into a black bamboo before falling to the ground.
Boom! *
Dust flew everywhere, and leaves fell everywhere.
"Uncle Liu!"
Yi Jiu cried out in shock, and immediately ran over to support Liu Ming.
"You …"
Liu Ming's face flushed red. With Yi Jiu's support, he stood up, stretched out his hand towards Gu Hao, and angrily said: "Do you know who I am?"
Gu Hao did not reply, but turned and walked to the side of the Tremella and pulled out his steel trident.
"Brat, I'm warning you. I am the first tier guard commander of this country's capital, and the ninth young master by my side is the eldest son of the county's head. Think carefully, this Tremella is not something you can take! "
Liu Ming saw that Gu Hao was ignoring him, and had walked over to the side of the Tremella, and said quickly.
However, even if he moved out of the capital city, and moved out of the country leader city, Gu Hao would not care at all. Because, Gu Hao didn't even know him.
Swish!
Gu Hao still ignored Liu Ming, and instead brandished his steel trident, directly smashing the Tremella's head to pieces. He then pulled out his crystal clear single horn and placed it in his bosom.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
Seeing that the Tremella's most precious beast horn had been taken, Liu Ming was infuriated. He struggled free from Yi Tian, and with a clang, he pulled out his blade from his waist and slashed towards Gu Hao.
Gu Hao frowned, the steel trident in his hand suddenly flew, directly blocking the incoming blade, and with a twist, a clanging sound was heard, the blade flew out of Liu Ming's hand. Following that, Gu Hao fiercely swung the steel trident, smashing it ruthlessly onto Liu Ming's waist.
Boom! *
Liu Ming was once again sent flying. When he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his face instantly turned dark.
"Uncle Liu!"
Yi Jiu cried out in alarm, immediately becoming enraged, he took a step forward and charged towards Gu Hao.
Swish!
Gu Hao waved his steel trident, directly pressing it into Yi Jiu's chest, stopping his posture as he rushed forward, he said coldly.
"This is the last warning. Next time, I will not hold back!"
In less than three days, he had already shown mercy to Liu Ming twice. Otherwise, with Liu Ming's insignificant Yang Early Stage cultivation, he would have already gone to the underworld.
"The rest is for you. "Crystal horn, I'll take it with me."
With that, Gu Hao turned and left. To him, the most useful thing about this Tremella was that crystal horn. As for the others, they could sell for some money. However, items of wealth were of no use to Gu Hao. Since he had the time to sell demon beasts, he might as well find a place to practice his arcane skills twice over.
"Uncle Liu …"
Seeing Gu Hao leave, Yi Jiu turned and ran to Liu Ming's side, once again supporting Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's face was extremely gloomy, it was clear that Gu Hao's strike earlier had caused heavy injuries to him.
"I'm fine!"
Liu Ming spoke, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Gu Hao's leaving figure, his gaze flickering.
"When did such a powerful cultivator come to the Black Bamboo Forest?"
"Who cares what time he came. Just now, I secretly crushed his message-talisman. I trust that my father will soon be arriving." At that time, he will undoubtedly die! "
Yi Jiu replied as his eyes flashed. He didn't look like a teenager at all.
"Humph!" With the county head's middle Earth Origin Stage strength, he would definitely be able to teach this kid a lesson! "Seize back the crystal horn."
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with killing intent, he looked at Gu Hao's disappearing back figure and said fiercely.
At this moment, Gu Hao, who had returned to Zhu Qing's side, naturally did not know about their conversation.
"Big brother …"
Zhu Qing saw that Gu Hao had returned and immediately shouted.
"Let's go."
Gu Hao nodded and replied softly. He then brandished the steel fork, picked up the rabbit shaped demon beast on the ground, and walked away.
Xiao Zhuqing did not dare to speak anymore, and obediently followed behind Gu Hao, heading home.
When he got home, Old Man Zhu Yuan was busy lighting a fire and making lunch in front of the bamboo house.
Gu Hao threw the beast on the ground, allowing Zhu Qing to kill it and tidy it up. After that, he cooked for Zhu Yuan.
After lunch, Gu Hao and Zhu Yuan gathered at the bamboo house.
Only then did Gu Hao take out the crystal horn and handed it over to Zhu Yuan.
"Grandfather, do you recognize this thing?"
Zhu Yuan took the crystal horn and carefully examined it for a moment. He nodded and answered, "The entire body is transparent, and it contains elemental energy that is as firm as a rock. This should be the horn of a Tremella, where did you get it from? "
"I bumped into Zhu Qing today during the hunt."
Gu Hao answered, and then asked: "Since grandfather recognizes this crystal horn, is there any method to temper it?"
Although Gu Hao was a Venerable One before, he did not dabble in equipment forging. Even though he had the crystal horn, a natural magical equipment, if he didn't forge it, it would be difficult to get his hands on. After all, he couldn't possibly have the head of a demon beast as soon as he started fighting.
As Zhu Yuan was a rich man in the Qingyang City, he was also a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Origin Stage, so he should have a certain understanding of the situation.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuan nodded his head and said, "When I was young, I learned it from the number one refiner of Qingyang City, Senior Ouyang Mo. Although I'm not proficient in it, it's not difficult to refine this crystal horn. "However, I have lost all my power and am unable to use any elemental energy. If I want to forge a crystal horn again, I might not be able to."
"So that's how it is."
Gu Hao nodded his head, his heart was unavoidably disappointed, it seemed that his wish to forge a suitable weapon, would come to naught.
"But you don't have to be upset. Although I have declined, I still have a few friends in Black Bamboo Town. One of them is the Master Refiner of the Black Bamboo Town. "
Zhu Yuan seemed to have noticed Gu Hao's disappointment and explained with a smile, "How about this? I'll write a letter today and you bring you to the Black Bamboo Town tomorrow to find that old friend of mine. I presume, on my account, he will help you. "
"In that case, sorry to trouble you, grandfather."
Gu Hao hurriedly thanked Zhu Yuan.
"It's fine. It's just a small matter." Zhu Yuan waved his hand and immediately stood up. He retrieved pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter on the bamboo table before passing it to Gu Hao.
Gu Hao received it, folded it, and placed it in his bosom. He was just about to thank Zhu Yuan again.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhuqing ran in anxiously.
"Big brother, a bunch of evil people have come."
Before he could finish his sentence, a rough voice came from outside the door.
"That brat Wu Di, how dare you steal grandfather's crystal horn, quickly come out and die!"
