Lord Zhang Fei-Chapter 6

Chapter 6: The Forsaken Forest

The Hunted Ruins Forest was one of the most diversed forests on the Sacred Spirit Continent. The hills here were undulating, with a vast area, stretching tens of thousands of kilometers in length and width. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

There were three big rivers passing through the entire forest, which were several miles wide and of magnificent looks. There were also countless small rivers and gullies in the forest.

The reason why it was said to be the most represented was that the terrain in this forest was complex and changeable.

With more than half of the tree species on the Sacred Spirit Continent, and it was named because of the ancient relics in the central area. But because the forest was occupied by demons, and there were more powerful monsters in its central area, very few people ever ventured into the forest.

It was just that many monsters with powerful cultivation bases were generally entrenched in the central area of ??the forest. The closer they were to the edge of the forest, the lower the monsters’ cultivation bases were. Therefore, there were many racial tribes in the surrounding area of ??the Hunted Ruins Forest, who lived by hunting beasts and demons.

At this moment, three people were rushing into the depths of the forest. As they moved into center of the forest, holding light orbs, they kept shouting a single name. “Fei.”

It seemed they were looking for a boy named Zhang Fei.

.....

The group of three was made up of one man and two women. Both women were wearing tight animal skins. Their long dark hair were tied behind their heads with ornamental ropes made from animal skins.

On a closer look, one would discover that the appearances of these two women were exactly the same. The only difference was that one of them had a white leather straps on heir head while the other had a yellow-coloured one. With their delicate faces and beautiful fur head ropes, they looked beautiful, free and easy. Each one was holding a pair of long daggers in each hand.

By their looks, they appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years of age. Their faces were full of anxiety as they continued to walk cautiously forward.

The man among them was about twenty years old. He was of medium build, held a longbow, and was carrying a quiver full of feather arrows on his back. Along with the girls, he was searching and walking towards the center of the forest.

“This is all your fault. Why did you have to leave him all alone?” The woman with the white headband was complaining bitterly.

The girl with the yellow hair-band cried out, and explained in a hurry. “He asked me to find him the rope. I didn’t know that if I leave him for a while, he would be gone.”

The two continued to argue, time after time, but then, they would looked around and shouted anxiously. “Fei, where are you? Please, come back.”

After searching for a while with no luck, the man couldn’t help but ask. “Are you sure that the boy entered the forest?”

“It had to be. He was weaving a rope net before, saying that it was used to catch monsters.” 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

“Yes, yes. We found that the boy and the rope have both disappeared. He must have come here to catch some beasts after he finished weaving it.”

As the three of them were talking, a loud roar of a bear, suddenly came from the depths of the forest.

*Roar*

Immediately afterwards, there was the crackling sound of branches and leaves caused by weight of a large animal.

“Oh no, it’s a bear demon.” The man yelled. He quickly took a feather arrow and put it on the string, and ran towards the source of the sound. The two women also followed closely with their long iron daggers.

Further down the forest, a big black bear, with a height of more than two meters, was roaring angrily. It appeared to be provoked. And in front of the bear demon, was a little boy of five years of age, wearing a white animal skins that covered his body perfectly.

Despite his small stature, the boy let the bear demon came after him. But he always slipped away at a critical moment when the bear was about to pounce. From time to time, he turned would turn around and throw a stone at the bear demon, and the angry bear demon would respond with a roar from time to time.

A series of honeysuckle kept jumping up from the ground, trying to entangle and kill the little boy on the spot. It was a fortunate situation that the little boy was very agile and flexible. He was constantly changing his direction of movements. Hence, the attacks sent by the bear demon always failed.

Seeing a giant tree of more than one hundred meters high in front of it, blocking its way, the bear demon angrily slammed its four paws on the ground. It let out an angry roar, ready to jump forward.

The, at this exact moment, more than a dozen spikes suddenly rushed up from both sides of the giant tree like two walls, blocking the boy’s path. In the eyes of the bear demon, the little boy’s was already on the meat plate,. And even when it sprang forward, its saliva flew out.

At this critical juncture, suddenly a shout came from the forest: “Young master, be careful.”

A few seconds later, a feather arrow steadily pierced into the eyes of the bear demon with the sound of breaking through the air, and the tip of the arrow even went through the back of the bear’s head.

The bear demon came to a stop, let out a stern roar, and fell to the ground. After a moment, or two, it died.

Immediately afterwards, a man and two women ran over quickly from a distance.

The boy walked to the dead bear demon and looked down at it. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and sighed. “Oh, what a pity. What a pity.”

Looking up, the boy saw the three familiar faces running over to where he was, and hurriedly shouted. “Stop, don’t come any closer.”
