The Ruler
210. The Dark Forest 2.
Somewhere else.
Qing Ruo and his entourage who continued to enter the deepest area of the dark forest, moved cautiously.
" Older, I felt something strange from the presence of the giant black lizard before," Qing Ruo said.
" It's really weird. What's more that appeared before is already at level eight," Long Chen said.
" Young master, that dark beast has a different interaction with ordinary ferocious beasts. In this dark forest area, low-level animals are always in the deepest areas and are protected by those with higher powers." Yanshi Gong explained.
" That means we will." Long Chen paused his words.
" The main reason this dark forest is feared is, because of its terrible outer region," Yanshi Gong said seriously.
" Long Chen, we can learn from the way this dark animal developed its power. Because basically those who are weak do have to be protected and get a safe place to develop," Qing Ruo spoke to Long Chen through telepathy.
" The ruler is right" Long Chen said as he continued moving with a standby stance.
At the moment when they continued to move, Qing Ruo suddenly felt the presence of five figures moving closer to them.
" Young Master" said Yanshi Gong.
" Gold blood," Qing Ruo said, stopping.
Not long after that the five figures finally arrived.
" Swhus. swhus.." the five figures stopped before Qing Ruo and his entourage.
" Brother, young master. I am Zhiliao Gu and they are my brothers Nam Gong, Tang Ye, Lang Xiao and Zhiliao Heng" Zhiliao Gu said, introducing his entourage.
" Honor Shen Guoshi Zhiliao, I am Qing Ruo," he said cupping his hands respectfully, welcoming the entourage of the ancient god clan from the western region kindly, While introducing Long Chen and Yanshi Gong to them.
" Honor Shen Guoshi Qing" Zhiliao Gu said, cupping his hands respectfully.
" Older, is there anything we can help you with?" qing Ruo asked kindly.
" Young master, we would like to join you" Zhiliao Gu said, explaining their purpose.
" Good, but elders, our goals are different. Is it no problem?"
" What does the young master mean?"
" Older, me and the entourage are going to the Black Ice Gate," Qing Ruo replied, leaving Zhiliao Gu and his entourage speechless, who previously thought Qing Ruo and the entourage were hunting at that place.
" But can we follow the young master until we find the giant black lizard?" zhiliao Nam Gong asked, making Qing Ruo and his entourage look at each other.
" So, the one before.....?" long Chen asked, looking at Zhiliao Gu and his entourage with a huffed look.
" Long Chen," Qing Ruo said calmly.
" Good young master," he said respectfully.
Long Chen's unfriendly attitude made Zhiliao Gu and his entourage misbehave.
" Brother Nam Gong, I didn't tell you before let me speak" Zhiliao Gu said.
" Brother Gu, sorry."
" Olders, please explain. Who knows we can help," Qing Ruo said still in her friendly manner, leaving Zhiliao Gu and his entourage agape.
" Is the young master not angry?"
" Why should I be angry?" qing Ruo asked who did not want to make trouble with the god clan of such treatment.
" Young master, we were assigned by the patriarch to look for the gall of the giant black lizard, to treat the injured great elder Zhiliao Qiao Jin" Zhiliao Gu said, while explaining the appearance of the previous giant black lizard in detail.
Qing Ruo and the troupe nodded their heads.
" Older, sorry in advance because I have destroyed the internal organs of that dark animal" Qing Ruo said sympathizingly.
" Brother, I'm sorry for my wrongful actions before," Long Chen said in an apology.
The actions of Qing Ruo and Long Chen made Zhiliao Gu and his entourage feel calm.
" If we had known from the beginning that the elders needed the bile of the dark animal, I might not have killed it, and made the elders linger in this place. If so, let's enter the inner region immediately" Qing Ruo said.
" Both young master," said Zhiliao Gu and his entourage respectfully and passionately.
" Older," said Qing Ruo asking Yanshi Gong to lead the troupe.
" Swhus... Swhus.." -...." Their figures moved again, entering the dark forest cautiously.
" Older, how long have you been in this place?" qing Ruo asked.
" It's been almost a week. Previously we had put up the blood of a dark water snake to lure the giant black lizard out, but we did not expect the coming one to be a tier eight semi-eternal" Zhiliao Gu said, shaking his head.
" Does the elder still have the blood of the dark water snake?"
Zhiliao Gu shook his head.
" We did have a few small bottles of water snake's blood before, because we wanted to provoke the giant lizard immediately, we spilled them all."
" If so, we have no choice. The only way is to enter this deep region of the forest," Qing Ruo said as he continued to move.
In his heart, Qing Ruo felt extremely happy, having met the people from the ancient clan of the medicinal god, that meant that the path to bring Qing Lian An to the Medicine Clan had been wide open.
However at the moment when Qing Ruo was about to speak, they suddenly felt three different auras, moving in front of them.
" Young master, these are three different auras, but there are also giant black lizards" said Yanshi Gong.
" Pursue!" qing Ruo said increasing his speed.
" But young master, these are three dark beasts," Zhiliao Gu said worriedly, as he moved by Qing Ruo's side.
" Older, we have many people. There's no need to be afraid" he said, as he continued to move.
" The people of Shen Guoshi Qing are truly terrifying." Zhiliao Gu and the entourage sat in, as they continued to move following Qing Ruo.
" Focus on the black lizard, Long Chen, elder Gong, distract the other two animals" Qing Ruo said.
" Good young master."
In a short time they were finally able to chase after the three figures of ferocious beasts that were moving in front of them.
" Swhus...." The seven swords of Xue Luo, clad in golden-black lightning, darted ahead of them, intercepting the three beasts.
" Long Chen, elder Gong, now."
" Alright," Long Chen and Yanshi Gong replied. Long Chen moved to attack the giant black rat, the dark animal that was on the seventh level and Yanshi Gong attacked the other black rat who was on the eighth level.
" Old Gu," said Qing Ruo asking Zhiliao Gu and the entourage to follow him.
" Dhuar.dhuar...." A fierce explosion began to resound, shaking the place as the tread attacks they released began to clash with each other.
" It seems like this will be a little easier" Qing Ruo said as she released the divine dragon golden tread fist.
" Dhuar.." his fist was blocked by a giant black lizard with a hard sweep of its tail.
" Swhus...." Qing Ruo moved zig-zag away from the attack of the black lizard that had been wrathful.
" Young master, this seventh level ferocious beast is no match for us," said Zhiliao Gu who looked so overwhelmed, due to their rapid defeat of the dark animal figure.
" Older, I could have attacked him with the power of lightning, but I'm not sure I can keep his bile intact. The only way we can do this right now is to weaken his strength."
" Good young master," while continuing to move unleashed a golden tread attack.
" Older, do you not have any herbs or poisons that could weaken its strength."
" There's a young master, but what about you."
" Just do it. I am immune to poison. Even at the metal level," Qing Ruo said as he moved backwards, then aimed at Xue Luo's seven swords, forming a sword shield that continued to move, narrowing the movement of the savage beast.
" Dhuar.dhuar...." A fierce explosion resounded loudly the moment the body of the savage beast touched the sword surrounding it.
" Now!" said Qing Ruo, who was immediately responded by Zhiliao Gu and his entourage, by shooting a blackish-green powder at the figure of the giant black lizard that continued to rage.
" As the God clan of medicine, they definitely have poison." Qing Ruo sat inwardly while resisting the counterattack from the gigantic black Lizard that was so wrathful.
In a short time, the place began to be filled with a green mist, which instantly blocked their view.
" Young master, are you okay?" zhiliao Lang Xiao asked, as he moved closer to Qing Ruo and gave the antidote to the poison.
" The elder doesn't need to, I am indeed immune to this poison," he said as he guarded Xue Luo's sword which kept locking onto the movement of the now weakened black lizard.
****
Somewhere else.
Long Chen who was fighting against the giant black rat looked so overwhelmed as to face the ferocious beast alone. Moreover, Yanshi Gong was fighting a level eight giant black rat.
" Dhuar.dhuar ..." Loud explosions continued to resound, shaking the area to extremes.
