Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World-Chapter 1133 - 590: Seeking Another Place (Part 2)
"You mean... he wants to use us against these Demon Beasts?"
"Quite possibly."
"Then why didn’t he say it straight?"
"With his personality, how could he ask for help? This time, we asked him to come; it’s already good if he finds an excuse to keep us, seems like there’s a turnaround."
"Tomorrow, are we going to find the Demon Beast?"
"Go, let’s see how many there are, and why the Kunming Sect people can’t handle it themselves. Perhaps these Demon Beasts are our chance to exchange for high-level Xuan Iron."
Understanding what he meant, Bai Yu chuckled.
"Gu Sheng, how are you this smart? Lan Yao only said a few words, and you already figured it out; how’s your brain growing?"
As he said this, Bai Yu seriously looked up at his head.
Gu Sheng was somewhat helpless and directly pushed him away.
"Go, go, don’t get so close; it’s disgusting."
"Oh, holding Hong Mei’s little hand isn’t disgusting, but me sitting next to you is? You’re too double-standard!"
"I want to; anyway, keep your distance."
Gu Sheng moved aside again, Bai Yu, feeling somewhat indignant, directly followed, touching his arm against his.
Gu Sheng gave him a light push and moved aside once more.
Seeing this, Bai Yu followed him again.
While the two were playing childishly, Hong Mei arrived.
She couldn’t help but smile with tears seeing them like this.
"Famous figures in the Martial World, how are you acting so childishly?"
"It’s not like he’s a pestering adhesive plaster."
Saying this, Gu Sheng stood up, completely shaking Bai Yu off.
"The wild game outside has been roasted; if you don’t hurry, it’ll be gone into Shi Lou and Er Gou’s stomachs."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yu quickly got up and ran outside in a rush.
Gu Sheng took Hong Mei’s hand and walked out together.
At the bonfire, the crowd was enjoying their feast.
Seeing Gu Sheng arrive, Er Gou proudly raised a leg.
"Brother Sheng, come quickly, I specially saved this for you."
His voice had just fallen when Bai Yu opened his mouth to take a bite.
Shi Lou noticed and promptly tackled him.
"Brother Sheng, hurry over!"
Gu Sheng quickly hastened his steps and gripped the leg in his hand.
"Hong Mei, have you eaten?"
"Yes, the other leg is in my stomach."
"Are you full?"
"I’m full."
After getting a confirmed answer, Gu Sheng then started to feast heartily, leaving Bai Yu pressed under Shi Lou, watching as Gu Sheng enjoyed the leg alone.
Most of the wild game had been consumed by everyone, and after eating and drinking their fill, they all grew sleepy.
Seeing their sleepy demeanor, Gu Sheng chuckled and said, "You guys go rest, I’ll keep watch."
His voice had just fallen when Huang Shan stood up.
"Brother Sheng, I’m not tired; you go rest, I can keep watch."
Understanding his intention, Gu Sheng smiled and patted his shoulder, "It’s alright, you go rest, quick."
In the end, Gu Sheng stayed to keep watch while the others went in to rest.
After feeling their presence gradually fade, Gu Sheng summoned a small tripod and enveloped the entrance of the cave.
The sky grew darker, and the stars on the horizon shone ever brightly.
Gu Sheng sat alone on the edge of the cave entrance, lost in thought.
The aura swirled around him as Sun and Moon Essence continuously entered through his pores; even though he did nothing, the fatigue washed away, and his Dantian gradually filled up.
Not knowing how much time passed, Gu Sheng suddenly heard a low growl.
Sensing something wrong, he immediately became alert.
However, as he searched around, the growling sound suddenly vanished.
Gu Sheng released a trace of Spiritual Energy to search carefully but still found nothing.
Frowning, he simply stood up and withdrew all surrounding aura.
Just then, the growling sound came again.
Gu Sheng maintained tight focus, and upon hearing the sound, he immediately identified the location.
After thinking it through, he didn’t head out alone but released a trace of Divine Power to investigate.
A moment later, the Divine Power returned, and Gu Sheng’s face turned grim.
Lan Yao was right; there are indeed Demon Beasts here, and they’re strong, seemingly carrying the aura of the Kunming Mountain people?
Realizing this, Gu Sheng stiffened, somewhat unbelievingly looking at his hand.
After a moment, he directly mobilized the Qi from his Dantian and pushed forward fiercely.
This time, he felt clearer; the Demon Beast indeed carried the aura of the Kunming Mountain people.
Getting a definite answer again, Gu Sheng pursed his lips tightly.
He now understood why Wang Chunshi and his men forced them into the mountains; turns out the Demon Beast ate several disciples, fused their aura, forcibly becoming a member of Kunming Mountain. In such a scenario, Wang Chunshi and the others naturally hesitated because they shared an aura, causing interference when trying to act.
"No wonder... so that’s how it is."
After figuring out the whole story, Gu Sheng didn’t act impulsively but first locked the Demon Beast’s location, leaving a bit of Dantian Qi on it, then sat down again.
After all, with Demon Beast roaming, he couldn’t abandon everyone and go alone, in case it was a diversion strategy; there would be no room for regret.
Thus, Gu Sheng sat outside all night, absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence, and though he spent a sleepless night, he appeared especially energetic, with even his skin surface enveloped in the glow of Sun and Moon Essence.
Lan Yao couldn’t quite believe his eyes upon seeing him, rubbing them to confirm before circling him a few times.
"Gu Sheng, what kind of Demon Art did you use? How did you become so good-looking? You secretly changed your Human Skin Mask?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng laughed silently.
"No."
"You dare say no? I think you did change it!"
Bai Yu also chimed in, making Gu Sheng even more helpless.
"Hong Mei was inside the cave, her aura hadn’t weakened; how could she have time to help me change a Human Skin Mask? This is due to absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence, unrelated to anything else."
Upon hearing this, both of them widened their eyes.
"Sun and Moon Essence can bring such a big change? We often absorb Sun and Moon Essence; how come we don’t change like this?"
"Maybe... you guys are too weak!"
As Gu Sheng’s words left his mouth, the two were left speechless.
He was right; their strength was indeed inferior to his, but the gap was too wide!
Exchanging glances, they stood and said, "Tonight we’ll keep watch; we’ll try it too! What if it works for us?"
After they spoke, Shi Lou laughed heartily beside them.
"Why can’t you see your own strength? Brother Sheng isn’t like ordinary people, you should just rest."
"Bullshit! I don’t believe it!"
"The facts are clear, what is there not to believe? Look at me; I never compare myself to Brother Sheng because I know myself."
While saying this, Shi Lou winked at Lan Yao.
Seeing his action, Lan Yao felt disgusted.
"Go away, stop being disgusting; I still don’t believe it, I have to try tonight!"
After he spoke, Bai Yu nodded in agreement beside him.
Looking at the two, Gu Sheng slightly smirked.
"You can try if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn you, it’s not just about absorbing Sun and Moon Essence; there are Demon Beasts here at night, and this Demon Beast is strong, carrying Kunming Sect aura, easy to confuse people. Staying here means it’s not just absorbing Sun and Moon Essence."
Once Gu Sheng said this, everyone widened their eyes.
"There really are Demon Beasts? I didn’t sense wrong yesterday?"
"Yes, you sensed correctly; because that Demon Beast carries the same aura as Kunming Sect, you couldn’t tell the difference. Since you plan to stay here tonight, make sure to distinguish properly, don’t endanger us."
Upon hearing this, Lan Yao blinked innocently, "Actually, I can choose not to stay here; my strength isn’t as good as yours, acting bold is useless, I was just joking with you."
