Chapter 160 The Tiger's Roar Shakes the Forest
Xiao Poor Thing's words made Ye Wukong feel extremely ashamed, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
It was too awkward!
He quickly took his stick and turned around to go and support Nangong.
Nangong was biting the invisible python, but his hind leg had been pulled into the air, clearly, something was biting his leg.
Ye Wukong rushed over and started swinging wildly at the area around Nangong's feet.
"Damn it!"
"Where did this stinking gorilla come from!"
Two consecutive screams rang out, both filled with anger.
"They've circled around and are getting ready to pinch you!"
Xiao Poor Thing shouted, under the snake's sense, she could see the mammals clearly even when they were invisible.
Ye Wukong immediately turned around and swung his stick again, accurately hitting the leopard and the bear.
"Huh? Is his coordination with Xiao Poor Thing that good?"
Local Snake exclaimed in astonishment on Chu Ge's back.
Gu Tianjiao shook her head and said, "He has been practicing martial arts for nearly ten years and already has a wealth of combat experience. Even though the enemies are invisible, they breathe and their movements still disturb the air."
Is she blowing it out of proportion?
Does she think this is a kung fu movie?
Local Snake really wanted to roll his eyes, but unfortunately, he didn't have eyes to roll at the moment.
Ye Wukong's strength had increased, and soon he had the two Vengeful Ghosts screaming in agony.
Arno was entangled by the giant python but the python couldn't strangle him; instead, he bit and tore at it until it quickly released its grip.
The two of them pressed their attack, capturing the positions of their opponents even while they remained invisible.
The giant python was large and left traces of its movement, easy for Arno to follow.
Nangong and Ye Wukong pursued the other two Vengeful Ghosts.
They showed no mercy.
Though these Vengeful Ghosts were pitiable, they too needed to survive!
Every lost match meant they were one step closer to death!
Chu Ge didn't intervene but instead turned his gaze towards the opposite hillside.
Following his gaze, six mountain spirits were climbing swiftly along the cliffside with incredible agility, as if walking on flat ground.
Mountain spirits are the largest primate animals in the world. They have large heads and long faces, their bodies resemble ordinary monkeys but more robust. Their skin is comprised of various colors, looking ghostly and bizarre, with long hair under their heads, somewhat similar to the African Lion.
They are the world's most ferocious species of monkey, bar none!
In many fictional stories and movies, they often play the role of monsters on adventurers' paths.
Under the cover of the mist, the mountain spirits appeared even more mysterious.
"They're also Survivors. Mountain spirits shouldn't be here," Gu Tianjiao said softly.
Looking at their movements, it was clear that their survival skills had been enhanced.
Chu Ge shook his head and said, "Don't worry about them, my target is King Kuihu."
He already had three attributes over a thousand points. He was a genuine Three Stars Survivor, and in his eyes, Two Stars Survivors really weren't worth mentioning.
Gu Tianjiao nodded, sensing that Chu Ge's killing intent towards King Kuihu hadn't subsided.
About ten minutes passed.
Ye Wukong, Arno, and Nangong killed the three Vengeful Ghosts, only to see the three Vengeful Ghosts materialize.
A patterned giant python, an American Leopard, and a half-grown brown bear.
They lay on the ground, their eyes filled with fear.
Under the watchful eyes of Chu Ge and the others, they exploded into a cloud of stars and quickly disappeared.
Chu Ge watched their departing trails, feeling an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
These three were truly about to become animals, living in a daze, never to be human again.
All he could do was sigh in his heart.
Beyond that, there was nothing he could do.
He wasn't a Savior; he was just an ordinary person struggling in the Survival Arena.
"Let's go!"
Chu Ge turned around and said, leading the way along the mountain wall.
The others quickly followed.
Ye Wukong and Nangong had both made kills; they were very excited, discussing the recent fight as they walked.
Suddenly, they no longer thought Vengeful Ghosts were so terrifying.
"Come on, those three were weak to begin with, without any special survival skills; if you encounter stronger Vengeful Ghosts, you'll probably die horribly,"
Gu Tianjiao couldn't resist deflating their excitement, lest these two get too cocky.
But it had to be said, the strength of Ye Wukong and Nangong was already quite impressive amongst Two Stars Survivors.
Ye Wukong, needless to say, had a cat's reflexes combined with nearly a decade of accumulated Wing Chun training.
Nangong was a Giant Panda by nature, whose foundation surpassed most species, and with repeated muscle enhancements—although not as strong as Arno, he was indeed very tough.
Not only that, Nangong's strength and biting force were not to be underestimated.
"There can't be that many freakish Vengeful Ghosts, otherwise, they wouldn't be called Vengeful Ghosts," Nangong laughed with a snicker.
Ye Wukong and Arno nodded in agreement.
Like them, one would always reserve a certain number of Survival Points, and unless one suffers a losing streak, it is not easy to run out of Survival Points.
Time ticked away, second by second.
Soon it was noon.
Chu Ge and the others quickly arrived near the tourist area.
They concealed themselves in the woods, carefully watching.
At the end of the mountain road ahead, there was an ancient-looking Stone Gate; the road was spacious, and from the design of the gate, it appeared to lead into a separate courtyard. Many tourists were coming and going, and some vendors sold snacks by the roadside.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"The New Year is almost here, and look at them, so idle. They don't respect our ancestors' traditions, running around for nothing,"
Nangong cursed under his breath, clearly irritated.
In recent years, the public increasingly enjoyed traveling on holidays, with Huaxia becoming the country with the most tourists in the world, realizing the great dream of having Huaxia People's footprints all over the world.
Xiao Poor Thing gave him an eye roll and said irritably, "You're a national treasure, what are you afraid of?"
Nangong chuckled mischievously, his laugh annoyingly cheeky.
"Huashan is too big, and with so many people, it's not a good place for a fight," Gu Tianjiao sighed.
In such circumstances, large-scale battles are unlikely to occur.
They waited patiently.
To continue forward, they had to cross the stone steps ahead; otherwise, they would have to turn back the way they came.
ten minutes.
Half an hour.
One hour.
After a full two hours had passed, finally, no one else was passing by.
Chu Ge immediately led the team in a dash across, quickly disappearing into the woods on the other side.
No sooner had they left than a young couple came walking down below.
"Is climbing Huashan fun? I'm exhausted. If you ever ask me to hike again, you'll just vanish from my life!" the woman complained.
The man could only smile apologetically, supporting her with both hands, careful not to let her fall.
"Roar—"
A tiger's roar suddenly echoed, sending a shiver through the couple.
The woman's face turned pale with fright as she exclaimed, "Was that... the sound of a tiger just now?"
The man frowned and muttered, "Was it Wusong fighting a tiger on Huashan?"
"Let's go back, what if we get eaten by a tiger?" the woman said nervously.
The man shook his head and laughed, "Silly girl, there can't be tigers on Huashan, it's probably a sound effect from some amusement facility. Don't be scared, there are so many people ahead."
Rustle rustle rustle—
The trees next to them suddenly began to shake, startling them to turn their heads and look.
The man's eyes widened in astonishment, stuttering, "Tig... tiger..."
He wet himself in an instant.
