C2 Miserable Things Came and Went

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the forest, a young man was sweating profusely. Compared to the trees, his short stature seemed so small. He gripped a woodcutter with both hands and slashed at a tree that was as thick as his body. It had been almost two hours since he had cut down the tree, but there was only a small opening. It seemed that it would take at least eight hours to cut down the tree.

The young man stopped and looked at the small opening on the tree. He smiled bitterly and walked to the edge of the forest. He picked up the bamboo tube that he brought with him and drank some water. He leaned against a small tree and sat down. Today, he had already chopped two bundles of firewood. However, when he saw the big tree, he had an idea. Although it was very smooth for him to chop firewood every day, But if the weather was not good and he encountered a rainy day. . . He would not be able to come out. Therefore, he would rather work harder now and earn some extra money. Buying more daily necessities was the best option. That big tree. . . If he could successfully cut it down, it would be equivalent to a month of work. However, the youth didn't expect that. . . It seemed easy, but it was extremely difficult to do. The wooden sabre that had always accompanied him in chopping firewood was a knife that had never failed. Today, he had suffered a setback in front of the big tree. Not to mention that the tree could not be cut down. Even the edge of the woodcutter had curled up a few times.

The youth used his hand to stroke the blade of the knife and sighed, as if he was sighing. He said to an old friend, "Sigh, I'm the one who implicated you. If it wasn't for my weak strength, you wouldn't have been unable to deal with even a single tree. When I return today, I will properly sharpen you and make you shine again. "

Raising his head to look at the sky, he saw that the White Cloud Blue Dog was able to roll freely.

The youth's thoughts flew to an unknown place. His small hand supported his chin as he looked at the clouds in the sky in a daze.

Just as he was lost in thought, a sudden clap of thunder suddenly sounded from the distant horizon. The young man's body suddenly trembled as he woke up from his deep thoughts. He thought in his heart, 'It's thunder. Could it be that it's going to rain?' However, the sky did not look like it was going to rain at all. Could it be that the sound earlier was not thunder?

Indeed, it was the blue sky and white clouds at this moment. There was no sign of rain at all. The young man was confused and looked at the horizon. That was where the thunder came from. As far as his eyes could see, a dark cloud was flying toward the young man at an astonishing speed. The young man was secretly surprised, as he didn't understand this strange phenomenon at all. As he was thinking, The black cloud had a long tail behind it, and it instantly rushed in front of the youth.

"Boom!"

The black cloud crashed onto the ground, and it actually made a shocking sound. The shockwave from the impact sent the youth flying nearly 30 meters away. He fell right at the spot where he had cut down the tree, and the tree that he had used all his strength to cut down earlier had not been successfully cut down. At this moment, the branches and leaves had also fallen down and had been shaken into several segments. It was scattered all around. The wave of air had destroyed all the trees in the surroundings and turned them into flat land. Although the young man's body had been cut in many places, His whole body was sore, but fortunately, there were shrubs and thorns all around him. The ground was also covered with fallen leaves, but fortunately, he wasn't seriously injured. He gritted his teeth. The youth got up and walked towards the black cloud. He had grown up in the mountains and had seen many birds and fierce beasts. His courage was many times greater than his peers. Although today's matter was a bit strange, the youth was not scared by an unknown phenomenon. Moreover, that strange cloud had injured him. He had to find out the truth.

"Ah -" When the young man saw that a huge crater had appeared in the black cloud, he couldn't help but exclaim. He really didn't expect that a small black cloud would create a huge crater in the hard ground. Beside the crater were a few pieces of metal. The young man could tell that his knife was finished.

"It's finished" The youth's heart skipped a beat. The tool to earn a living was gone. A new machete cost nearly one tael of silver. Where did he get so much silver? The young man was filled with regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have just finished chopping the firewood and returned home. Why would he bother chopping that troublesome tree? Not only was his face swollen from the fall, even his chopping knife had been destroyed. When he thought of this, the youth couldn't help but hate that unknown black cloud.

"Where did that black cloud come from? I have no grudges with you in the past. We don't have any grudges in the past, yet you dare to harm me like this?" The youth angrily vented his anger and dissatisfaction towards the pit. At that moment, there was nothing in the pit. However, the youth was only ten years old, and that was his personality. For some reason, he felt dizzy from being struck by a black cloud, and his childish nature was aroused. He didn't care what the black cloud was, he just started to reason with it.

"Kid, what are you talking about!" A shout suddenly sounded behind him.

The youth was shocked and turned around in shock. He saw a tall person in front of him looking at him with a mocking expression. This man was in his fifties. His face was cold, his brown robe was long, and his long hair was fluttering in the wind.

"There is clearly no one behind me, why did a person suddenly appear without a sound? Could it be. . . " As the youth thought, he unconsciously began to think about things like ghosts. Even though the youth had always been bold, However, when he thought about how the demons and monsters in his imagination might have been transformed by the person in front of him, his face couldn't help but change color.

The strange man looked coldly at the young man, and his heart seemed to be moved. He raised his head to look at the sky and said: "Kid, what's your name?"

The young man looked at him blankly and answered honestly, "My name is Ye Faang. " Suddenly remembering that the person in front of him might be a demon, he suddenly stepped back and shouted, "You, you are not allowed to come over. "

The strange man saw the young man's actions and couldn't help but laugh. "Ye Faang, hmm, that's a good name. Kid, why are you so far away from me? Could it be that you're afraid that I'll eat you?"

Ye Faang said haltingly, "You, you're a demon. I won't let you eat me. " After saying that, in order to prove his courage and determination, he even waved his hand forcefully. With just a move of his hand, it immediately affected the place where he had fallen. It was so painful that he gritted his teeth.

The strange person was stunned. When he understood what Ye Faang meant, he could not help but laugh. "Kid, he said. So you thought I was a demon? Have you ever seen a demon? Will a monster be like me? "

Ye Faang saw that the other party did not seem to have any ill intentions, so his fear lessened a bit. He said," Since you are not a demon, Who are you? Why are you here? Also. . . Did you make that black cloud just now?"

The strange man's expression changed a few times. He looked at Ye Faang and said, "Who am I? Hehe, kid, you asked a good question. I haven't been in the human realm for hundreds of years, but I didn't think that the first person I met here today would be a gutless little kid. Haha, haha"

"Thousands of years?" Ye Faang could not help snorting, "Who are you lying to? If a person could live for a hundred years, it would be considered a long life. It seems that you are only a little older than my father, but you say that you are hundreds of years old. Isn't it shameful to speak such nonsense?"

The strange man was stunned again. He did not expect that the young man in front of him would not believe his words. Moreover, the young man's words were clearly organized. It was obvious that he had received a good education. Then he thought about it: No wonder. Everyone in the world was ignorant, and they would always look at the unknown in a mysterious manner. Not to mention a little young man. Thus, he said, "It's fine if you don't believe me, but you asked me who I am. I'll tell you, that black cloud just now was me! "

Ye Faang felt a headache when he heard this. Everything that this strange man said was inconceivable. It did not match at all with what his father had taught him in the past. Judging from the strange man's appearance and expression, he did not look like a madman. Then could it be that what the strange man said was true. . . Could there really be people in this world who had lived for hundreds of years, but how could people become black clouds?

The strange man continued, "I had a great battle with an enemy in Immortal Realm. Initially, I wanted to risk my life to take that man's dog life, but unfortunately, that enemy was really powerful. Even with my extraordinary skill, I'm still no match for him. Although I've also severely injured him, my body was destroyed by that bastard. This is truly hateful. "

Ye Faang looked at the strange man blankly. He didn't know what to say. He didn't know what kind of Immortal Realm or physical body the strange man was talking about. Was there really a Divine Immortal in this world?

Of course, the strange man knew that a ten year old boy wouldn't understand these things. If it was another child. . . Seeing such a scene and hearing such words, he was afraid that he would have fainted long ago. The boy in front of him could overcome the fear in his heart. It was already a performance that greatly surpassed those of the same age as him as he casually spoke here. When the strange man said these words, Originally, he didn't want the youth to understand. The great battle between him and his enemy. . . It could be said that both sides suffered heavy losses, but the strange man's body was destroyed. . . His current body was merely an energy body that he had condensed using the Primordial Spirit. Compared to his original ability, it could be said that he was extremely weak.

At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded from the distant horizon. The sound was even louder than the previous one.

The eccentric's expression changed, and he became extremely nervous. He gritted his teeth and said with a cold laugh: "What a thief! It seems that you are even more powerful than I expected. You have recovered a trace of your vitality so quickly. However, it is impossible for you to find me with your current weak cultivation. "

He turned around and said to Ye Faang, who was still in a daze, in a hurry. "Kid, can you do me a favor?"

Ye Faang was also shocked when he heard the thunder. After the thunder, a black cloud flew over. It made him suffer. Now there was another thunder. He didn't know what kind of disaster would happen. Just as he was in a daze, he heard the strange person ask him, He casually replied: "Oh, what do you want me to do for you? My strength is very small"

The strange man looked at the horizon. There seemed to be a red light flickering in the depths of the white clouds. He didn't have time to explain to the youth. He said: "My enemy is chasing after me, kid. I want to borrow your body to hide, you must remember. . . Don't say that you have seen me since that man came. He is a dignified Ninth Grade True Immortal of Immortal Realm. I won't make things difficult for you, little kid. As for what that man wants to ask you, you just have to act according to the situation. Kid, Remember, my life is entirely up to you. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the strange man's body suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared between Ye Faang's eyebrows.

Before Ye Faang could react, the strange man had already disappeared. However, he was already used to it. He cursed in his heart, This strange man has offended some powerful figure, but he pushed the blame on me. Forget it, it's better to cover it up for him. After making up his mind, Ye Fang felt a lot more at ease.
