Chapter 33: Holy crap, this bear has become a spirit!
Camping out in the deep mountains at night requires a lot of precautions.
Among them, snakes, insects, rats, and ants are the most troublesome.
However, with Gu Yu around, just a sprinkle of medicinal powder made the snakes, insects, rats, and ants immediately retreat, daring not to come any closer, allowing everyone to sleep comfortably without worrying about bites.
As for protection against fierce beasts attacking at night, in addition to Gu Mengyao making some simple traps, Gu Yu also secretly released Little Black from his space, letting the bear guard the surroundings alone, and if there was any danger, it would let out a loud roar.
Little Black nodded repeatedly, but in its heart, it felt that it was already very powerful, so how could it be embarrassed by roaring!
Even if a tiger appeared, it wouldn’t be afraid, and could even fight a tiger with a single claw.
This felt great.
“Roar!!!”
In the middle of the night, Gu Yu was sleeping soundly when a bear’s roar suddenly startled him awake.
Immediately, he thought that Little Black was guarding the surroundings, and he had told it to roar when it encountered danger. Now that it suddenly made a sound, was there any danger approaching!
Hope nothing happens!
Although Gu Yu initially caught Little Black to deal with the scions of Lian Town and to have a fighter, after raising it for a long time, he had developed feelings for it.
Especially since the bear was becoming smarter and livelier, it was hard not to like it.
“Yu, what’s wrong?”
“I let Little Black guard outside at night and told it to roar when it encountered danger… Now the sound seems to be its roar, I need to go and see.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
The bear’s roar was very loud, not only waking Gu Yu from his sleep, but everyone else too.
When Gu Mengyao saw Gu Yu hurriedly getting up and about to walk towards where the sound came from, she immediately asked Gu Yu where he was going?
Gu Yu had no martial arts and wandered alone in the mountains, which would be bad if he encountered danger.
Although Gu Yu had his space as protection, Gu Mengyao was still worried and felt at ease only if she followed him.
When Gu Yu heard that Gu Mengyao also wanted to go, he didn’t object, but nodded at her.
Although at such a time, a man should directly say that there’s no need to accompany him, and he could go alone.
But thinking about Gu Mengyao’s combat power of punching a tiger to death, Gu Yu found it difficult to refuse.
Having his little wife by his side really gave him a sense of security!
Afterwards, as Gu Mengyao also stood up and followed Gu Yu towards the source of the roar, she didn’t forget to ask Gu Da and the others to protect Gu Qingheng and wait for them to return.
“Mengyao, it’s just ahead.”
“Yeah, Little Black should be fine. It was already like this before, and now it’s become so clever that ordinary animals can’t deal with it.”
After quickly rushing to the vicinity, Gu Mengyao spoke to comfort Gu Yu, wanting him not to worry, and that Little Black would definitely be alright.
When Gu Yu heard his little wife’s words, he smiled at her, then nodded, and then stepped forward towards the scene.
“Roar roar!”
“Little Black, did you encounter any danger?”
“Roar!”
When Gu Yu saw that Little Black was unharmed, he first breathed a sigh of relief, and then confusion appeared on his face. He didn’t understand why Little Black, who looked fine, was roaring.
When Gu Yu spoke, Little Black immediately raised its paw and pointed to the side.
“Holy crap, this bear has become a spirit!”
“Who is it!”
Just as Little Black pointed in a direction, a voice suddenly rang out from the bushes it was pointing at, immediately putting Gu Yu on alert. At this moment, Gu Mengyao also raised her long saber and flashed in front of Gu Yu, protecting his safety.
In this deep mountain and old forest, besides their group, there were other people, which was indeed too suspicious.
Could it be assassins again?
“I’m not a bad person. I’m very sorry for disturbing you late at night! My name is Mi Shu, sent by the Sect Leader to receive you on your way to the Tang Sect.”
“Sect Leader? Do you have any proof?”
“I have a token given by the Sect Leader here. He had already guessed that you would take a shortcut, so he sent me to prevent you from getting lost or anything…”
Afterward, a man emerged from the bushes. He looked kind, but his words were not easily believed by Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao.
They had experienced a lot on the way, which made them subconsciously wary of people from the Tang Sect after meeting them.
Even if it was someone sent by the Tang Sect Leader, there was no exception.
Moreover, it was the Sect Leader who had people capture Xia Tian, so it was normal to be wary.
“Even if you have the token, you are our enemy.”
“Roar!!!”
“Little Black, what’s wrong?”
“Roar!”
Even though the other party took out the token to show sincerity, Gu Yu did not let down his guard. While speaking, Little Black suddenly let out a howl, making Gu Yu look over curiously, wondering what was wrong with Little Black?
When Gu Yu looked over, Little Black immediately turned its body, then raised a paw and pointed at its butt. Gu Yu wanted to see what was wrong, so he held up the torch in his hand.
As a result, Gu Yu saw that a patch of fur was missing from Little Black’s butt, and there were several wounds in the bare spot.
After Gu Yu saw clearly, Little Black also showed a human-like expression on its bear face, looking at Gu Yu with tears, its sadness evident in its eyes. Especially when it later extended its paw to point at Mi Shu opposite them, its face turned angry again.
However, when Gu Yu looked in the direction Little Black pointed, he saw Mi Shu with a helpless expression, clearly not expecting… to be accused by a bear!
“This is a misunderstanding! I didn’t know this bear was your pet, so I was rude just now. I’m truly sorry.”
“Little Black, do you accept the apology?”
“Roar roar!”
“You heard that, Little Black doesn’t want to accept your apology.”
“…”
Mi Shu thought that after apologizing to Gu Yu, the matter of him injuring Little Black with hidden weapons would be over, but he didn’t expect… Gu Yu to suddenly turn and look at Little Black, as if asking for its opinion.
Seeing Little Black shake its head repeatedly, Gu Yu told Mi Shu that Little Black did not accept his apology.
This made Mi Shu’s mouth twitch with frustration, wondering what kind of people he had encountered today!
To apologize, he first had to get forgiveness from a bear.
“This… I don’t know what Brother Bear wants?”
“Roar, roar!”
“Little Black said it wants blood for blood, and it wants to kick you in the butt too.”
“…”
Afterward, when Mi Shu heard Gu Yu translate the black bear’s words, he didn’t know what to say.
To complete the task assigned by the Sect Leader, did he have to offer his butt??
“Alright, alright, Little Black, your claws are so powerful, you’ll kill him with one kick…”
“Exactly.”
“If that doesn’t work, kick him.”
“…”
“Roar!”
Finally, after Mi Shu humiliatingly assumed the position of sticking his butt out and was kicked down by Little Black, the bear was finally satisfied.
Afterward, Little Black, following Gu Yu’s instructions, continued to patrol the surroundings.
Gu Yu also did not agree to let Mi Shu lead them, as his identity was unknown. However, he could leave the token. Afterward, when they reached the Tang Sect in Lianzhou, they could use the token to enter the Tang Sect without using force.
Due to Gu Yu’s very persistent attitude, Mi Shu eventually knew he couldn’t persuade him, so he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he directly threw the token to Gu Yu, and then covered his butt with both hands and limped away.
After Gu Yu watched Mi Shu leave, he put the medicinal powder in his hand back into his space, thinking that if Mi Shu hadn’t given him the token just now, he wouldn’t have been merciful.
Fortunately, Mi Shu gave it readily.
In this case, Gu Yu could not touch him now.
If it was really someone sent by the Tang Sect Leader, it was equivalent to an envoy of peace. Killing Mi Shu would only escalate the conflict when they went to the Tang Sect.
Therefore, dealing with it like this was good, and then they would see if this token was real or fake.
“Mengyao, let’s go back!”
“Yu, are you just going to let him go? Do you need me to…”
“No need, he can’t hurt us anyway, so let him go! Now let’s hurry back and get some good rest so we’re not tired tomorrow when we travel.”
“Okay.”
Afterward, when Gu Mengyao spoke with a solemn expression, Gu Yu smiled and shook his head, indicating that she didn’t need to worry too much; the most important thing now was sleep.
Sufficient sleep was very important.
…
Tang Sect, Jiang Wenguang looked anxiously outside the door, wondering why the people he had sent hadn’t sent any news back. Had they been killed by that person named Gu Yu again?
This time, he truly didn’t expect the secret to be exposed so quickly.
When Sect Leader Tang Haocang realized that his only son had been killed, the investigation became even faster. When Jiang Wenguang heard this news, he couldn’t help but guess how far Tang Haocang had investigated.
Had he already found out that he was the traitor of the Tang Sect!
If that were the case, he would have to strike first…
Unfortunately, before Jiang Wenguang could directly seize the position of Sect Leader, he found that a large number of guards had suddenly appeared in the Tang Sect. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and well-trained, guarding Tang Haocang’s side every day, leaving him no opportunity to act.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that the Sect Leader’s wife, Ruan Zhizhi’s maternal family, Crimson Flame Fortress, had sent people to protect her safety after learning that Ruan Zhizhi had been in a bad mood, irritable, and violent recently.
It was precisely because Crimson Flame Fortress intervened that Jiang Wenguang could not make a move against Tang Haocang. Later, when he went to see Tang Haocang, the latter was being evasive, and no information could be extracted.
Finally, Jiang Wenguang could only shift his focus elsewhere, thinking that if he killed Gu Yu and his group, it would be a case of dead men telling no tales.
Tang Haocang’s arrangement for the Gu family to actively come to the Tang Sect was not very well-planned, so Jiang Wenguang quickly received the news.
However, Jiang Wenguang did not expect Gu Yu’s combat power to be so ferocious.
The people he sent all went and never returned.
“Coo coo.”
When the sound of a pigeon was finally heard, Jiang Wenguang quickly caught the pigeon, then quickly opened the bamboo tube tied to its leg and took out the letter paper inside.
“The plan failed. Gu Yu and his group escaped to the mountain, and we are in pursuit.”
