Chapter 1080 - Falling Into A Mountain Forest (2/2)

Gu Motian was somewhat in a daze as he looked around him. It was impossible for the might of the heavenly fire to only amount to this. Gu Motian was certain that the flames on the youth’s body were from the heavenly fire. It was impossible for him to have mistaken the flames for anything else.

“Could it be?”

Gu Motian suddenly thought of a possibility. His expression immediately turned ugly. With a wave of his hand, he made a series of mysterious ritualistic gestures. A formless power immediately expanding. In the surrounding space, minuscule free particles kept gathering together. In the end, these free particles gathered to form a drop of blood.

Gu Motian placed his hand over the drop of blood. Mysterious runes flew out from his hand and kept burrowing into the drop of blood. Suddenly, the drop of blood seemed to come alive and kept dancing up and down, struggling fiercely. In the end, with a pop, it disappeared into thin air.

“As expected, he is still alive.”

Gu Motian’s expression was extremely sullen. He had actually fallen for the youth’s scheme.

“Damn it. You actually dare to trick me. The next time I encounter you, I will make sure to make your life a living hell.” Gu Motian clenched his fist tightly. Ever since Gu Motian ventured into the Jianghu, he had never suffered such a loss to a cultivator whose level of cultivation was inferior to that of his own.

Tens of millions of miles away, a beam of blue light entered a dense forest. It then furiously crashed into the ground with a loud rumble.

The surroundings were thrown into a mess. A youth drenched in blood was lying on the ground. He was completely unconscious.

This person was none other than Mo Wen. Although he had managed to escape Gu Motian’s grasp by the skin of his teeth, his injuries were frighteningly severe. The harm was not caused by Gu Motian. The injuries caused by Gu Motian’s external force could be completely restored by the Heavenly Path Sacred Light and would not affect Mo Wen.

Only the heavenly fire could injure Mo Wen to such an extent. Although he had managed to forcefully call back the heavenly fire in order to scare off Gu Motian, the heavenly fire that he had let spread had far exceeded what he was able to control. If it wasn’t for the fact that his control over the heavenly fire was improving, he could be completely burnt to ashes by the heavenly fire if he was even slightly careless.

Even the Heavenly Path Sacred Light could not restore these internal injuries caused by the heavenly fire. After all, his foundations in the Heavenly Path were still shallow and they were not a complete law of the Heavenly Path.

There were savage ancient beasts lying in ambush everywhere in ancient forests such as this one. Fainting in such a place was considered rather dangerous.

Unbeknownst after how long, a hissing sound suddenly appeared in the forest. A huge green snake, dozens of meters long and with a girth of a water bucket, slithered over. Mo Wen’s silhouette lying on the ground was reflected in its cold pupils.

Hiss! Hiss!

The huge green snake’s mouth was wide open and its black colored forked tongue stuck out, ready to strike. This snake was clearly venomous. Just when the huge green snake was about to swallow Mo Wen whole, a beam of crimson light shot towards it with a swift swoosh, darting accurately on the head of the snake.

Hiss! Hiss!

The huge green snake let out a shriek and it convulsed vigorously before it fell dead on the ground. There was a dark red arrow darted on the head of the snake. The arrow was made with some unknown materials, giving it a blood-red appearance and causing it to emanate streaks of terrifying heat waves. The surrounding withered tree branches started burning silently after receiving the heat emanated by the arrow.

The head of the huge green snake was roasted until it was charred; even the soul of the snake hidden inside its brain was completely destroyed.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures came flying swiftly from the woods afar. In an instant, they had appeared in front of the corpse of the huge green snake. Both figures were fit, garbed with animal skin, and were each carrying a longbow and a quiver of arrows behind their backs. They had machetes hanging at their waists. Obviously, the huge green snake was killed by them.

“Father, there is a youth here. Was he killed by the snake?”

The person speaking was a woman with a slender figure. She was wearing leopard-patterned animal skin and her well-proportioned body was accentuated through her tight-fitting garment. Her skin was tanned and had a healthy luster. Her face was not particularly beautiful; however, her facial features were rather solid, outlining her wild and sexy nature.

Beside the woman stood a burly, middle-aged man. If the middle-aged man appeared in the main space, he would be classified as a typical muscular guy. He had bronzed skin, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. His gaze was piercing, making him appear to be savage. He had drawn out the machete from its sheath, which was hanging at his waist, as he approached Mo Wen slowly.

The burly man observed the surroundings carefully for quite some time. Only after he had concluded that there was no danger did he squat down to examine the condition of the youth.

“He has long passed out. He wasn’t hurt by the snake,” the burly man said slowly after he had examined the youth.

With a swish, the wild woman pulled out the arrow which was stabbed into the head of the huge green snake. She wiped away the bloodstain and returned the arrow to the quiver.

“He isn’t dead?” Upon hearing this, the woman walked over curiously.
