Chapter 3 - To Gunan Town (1/2)

Ye Shang immediately climbed up the tree and shouted at the cheetah.

It was a pity that the cheetah already had cold feet, it even couldn’t stand up, which shocked Ye Shang. It wasn’t an ordinary demon, otherwise, the cheetah wouldn’t become like this. This was suppression, either the ethnic suppression or the suppression from cultivation.

When Ye Shang was feeling shocked, the demon showed up and came under the tree.

With the help of fire, Ye Shang recognized that the demon was a black dragon with a bucket-sized body. But Ye Shang couldn’t confirm the length of the dragon since its tail was still hidden in the darkness.

When Ye Shang sized the black dragon up, it moved, opened its mouth wide, and bit the frightened cheetah. With the squirming of its mouth, all the bones of the cheetah were shattered, then it was swallowed into its belly.

It happened only in a blink of an eye. Coming out of his trance, Ye Shang hurriedly climbed up the tree since he was no match for this scary black dragon. If he didn’t climb higher, it would be easy to end up in the same grave beside the cheetah.

Just as Ye Shang climbed up the old pear tree, the black dragon’s body squirmed under the tree, rose up and bit toward Ye Shang.

Feeling the crisis, Ye Shang held a branch and hurriedly swung his body toward the top.

Ye Shang had just left the place, when the black dragon bit off the branch that Ye Shang had just grasped.

Listening to the cracking sound behind him, Ye Shang quickly climbed toward the top of the tree.

After climbing for several meters, Ye Shang turned to look down and there was no sound. Not far away from his feet, the black dragon leaned on the old tree and its two green eyes stared at Ye Shang.

“Damn!” After confirmed his safety, Ye Shang swore. The cheetah was still safe before and now it had become its dinner.

Fight against the black dragon?

Ye Shang didn’t dare to act recklessly since the black dragon was obviously a demon with wisdom, but not a low-level one. Even the black iron spear couldn’t penetrate the scales of the black dragon.

Fortunately, the body of the black dragon was thick, making it hard to climb trees. It had to rely on the support of the tail to leap up high and attack Ye Shang.

Unable to eat Ye Shang, the black dragon stayed for a while and left.

Confirming that the black dragon had left, Ye Shang finally slid down the tree. Looking at the deep ditch that the black dragon climbed on the ground, Ye Shang was scared. If it had not been for the fact that he ran fast, he would have become the dinner of the black dragon along with the cheetah.

The bags under the tree were still there, but the cheetah was indeed gone.

Resting on the tree with the bags for a night, Ye Shang continued his journey.

In the next two days, Ye Shang pushed on with his journey carefully, but there was no danger.

Looking at the town in the distance and the towering old cedar at the gate of the town, Ye Shang knew that he had finally reached his first destination. Here was Gunan town and the cedar was the symbol of Gunan. It was a bustling town compared to others nearby. Though it was far to go from Gunan Town to Medicine Valley, there were many caravans, so he wouldn’t have to travel alone.

Entering Gunan Town, Ye Shang found a tea house, asked for a pot of tea, and took out the dried meat to enjoy.

There were restaurants in the town, but Ye Shang wanted to save money, and he was also very satisfied with the cheap hot tea.

While Ye Shang was eating, three brave men and a woman with blonde hair entered the teahouse.

Ye Shang took a look at them and continued eating. With his hunting experience, he could feel that their murderous aura was similar to the demons.

“Big Bro, we collected too little medicinal herbs this time, and we couldn’t find the black dragons. I am afraid that we cannot complete the mission.” The blonde woman said.

“Well, it was Butler Zhao’s scheme. He said that it was full of green grasses here. Also we couldn’t find any trace of black dragons!” The man who was called ‘big brother’ by the woman sighed.
