Experience of living in a chaotic world of demons

Chapter 497: Divine Forest

"Okay, you rest first, and we'll go see how Ergou is doing."

Gu Sheng nodded and comforted.

Then, Elder Shi took Zhang Wuye and Gu Sheng towards Ergou's house.

The three of them walked in a hurry, their hearts filled with a sense of urgency.

When he was still some distance away from Ergou's house, Gu Sheng suddenly felt the undercurrent of divine power.

Gu Sheng was secretly surprised, but did not say it out loud.

But as they approached Ergou's house, the fluctuations in divine power became more intense, as if even the air was trembling.

At the same time, the surrounding chickens, ducks, geese and dogs seemed to feel this power, and their cries were full of panic and uneasiness.

"What's going on? It's like chaos!"

There was some worry in Elder Shi's voice, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.

"We have to hurry!"

Gu Sheng said anxiously, walking faster.

When they finally arrived at Ergou's house, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.

I saw some neighbors standing outside, afraid to go in, as if they had seen some monster.

In the yard of the two dogs' house, the livestock were panicking and running around.

Their screams come and go, almost tearing people's eardrums.

As for Ergou standing in the center of the yard, his appearance has changed drastically.

I saw that his face was covered with strange lines, which looked somewhat similar to Shilou.

It's just that Ergou's eyes widened, as if he was controlled by some kind of force.

Gu Sheng rushed into the yard and shouted anxiously: "Er Gou, what's wrong with you?"

Ergou turned his head, his eyes showing confusion.

"Brother Sheng, I...I feel a force surging inside my body, and I can't control it!"

Ergou gritted his teeth and said with some pain.

At the same time, Ergou's mother also came forward and said to them: "Elder Shi, Zhang Wuye, you are well-informed, what happened to Ergou?"

"It's okay, we can handle it."

Mr. Zhang Wu comforted him.

Suddenly, Ergou raised his hands, clenched his fists, and punched the pig pen on the side.

I saw a divine power burst out from his palm.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise.

The pigsty was shattered in an instant, with sawdust and soil flying everywhere.

At the same time, several piglets inside rushed out of the yard because the pig pen collapsed, and ran outside without looking back as if they were running for their lives.

"Piggy! My piggy!"

Ergou's mother shouted and chased her out at the same time.

Other neighbors saw this and rushed to help chase him.

"Oh my God!"

Mr. Zhang Wu and Elder Shi couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw this scene.

"Isn't this too risky?"

"Ergou...he became a cultivator?"

"I don't know. I have never seen Ergou become like this and possess such strong power."

Some villagers whispered.

"Ergou, calm down!"

Gu Sheng stepped forward, stood in front of him and said loudly.

Gu Sheng knew that if Ergou couldn't control this power, he might cause greater damage and even hurt himself!

"I...I can't do it!"

Ergou's voice was filled with despair, and his hands were trembling, obviously trying to control the power in his body.

Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye looked at each other and knew that measures must be taken immediately.

"Xiao Sheng, give him a quick blow."

Elder Shi said sincerely.

"Um."

Gu Sheng nodded and took a step forward.

Instantly, he began to gather divine power in his hands, preparing to help Ergou stabilize this power.

"Ergou, look at me."

Gu Sheng's voice seemed to have a strange rhythm.

At the same time, there was soothing power in those eyes.

Ergou turned his head and looked into Gu Sheng's eyes.

The moment they looked at each other, Ergou's body seemed to be gradually calming down.

Gu Sheng grabbed Er Gou's wrist, and the divine power slowly flowed into Er Gou's body, helping him guide and control the violent power.

"call……"

Ergou let out a long breath.

After a few minutes, his face returned to calm, and the divine power in his body gradually stabilized.

"Brother Sheng, thank you."

Ergou said with gratitude.

Gu Sheng smiled and nodded: "It's okay, Ergou, this is just the beginning, you must learn how to control this power."

Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye looked at Ergou and felt relieved.

They know that Shilou and Ergou's awakening is just the beginning, and there is still a long road waiting for them.

But at least now, they have taken the first step.

"We have to find a safe place for the two of them to practice well and master this power."

Zhang Wuye suggested.

Elder Shi nodded: "Yes, we cannot let this power get out of control, otherwise it will bring disaster to the village."

Zhang Wuye was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "I know a suitable place. It is far away from the village, has enough space for you to practice, and the fluctuations in divine power there are relatively stable."

"Where?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi asked in unison.

"The godswood."

Mr. Zhang Wu said slowly, "That is the place where our ancestors practiced, and it is also the holy place of our village."

"Godswood?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi looked at each other.

Gu Sheng had heard others talk about that place before, but had never been there.

"Well, yes, there are ancient sacred trees protecting the law there. They can absorb and stabilize divine power. They are the best place for cultivation."

Elder Shi nodded in agreement.

"Oh? It would be great to be able to stabilize the divine power! In this way, it will also help them understand their own power."

Gu Sheng said with some surprise.

"Then when will we set off?"

Ergou asked, his eyes full of expectation.

After all, it was very uncomfortable for him to have this kind of uncontrollable power, and it might even hurt others.

"Tomorrow morning."

Elder Shi said, "Tonight, you all have a good rest and prepare."

"OK."

Gu Sheng and Zhang Wuye nodded.

As night fell, Shitou Village returned to calm.

Gu Sheng, Shi Lou and Er Gou are all preparing for tomorrow's journey.

At this time, the two families were together, and there was a feeling of joy or sorrow in their hearts.

"Er Gou, when you get to the Godswood Forest, you, Shi Lou and Xiao Sheng will take care of each other, do you hear that?"

Ergou's mother asked with some disappointment.

"Don't worry, Shi Lou and I know what to do."

Ergou smiled.

At this time, Shilou's mother suddenly spoke: "By the way, I heard from Mr. Zhang Wu that Shitou Village may have to rely on you in the future. Practice well and don't embarrass our Shitou Village."

"I know, hey..."

Shi Lou sighed, seeming a little impatient.

That night, the mother and son talked a lot until late at night.

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Gu Sheng, Shi Lou, Er Gou and Zhang Wuye set off.

They passed through the stockade and set foot on the path leading to the godswood.

The sun shines through the treetops and shines on them, adding a little warmth to their journey.

The sacred wood forest is located to the north of Shitou Village. It is a forest covered by thousand-year-old trees.

These trees are tall and strong, and their trunks are covered with traces of time.

In the forest, there is a faint fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel comfortable.

“It’s really special here.”

Gu Sheng sighed.

Because as soon as he entered the sacred forest, he could feel that the divine aura here was different from other places.

"Yes, the sacred trees here can absorb divine power, making the fluctuations of divine power here more stable."

Zhang Wuye explained.

"Well, practicing here will get twice the result with half the effort."

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

Not long after, Zhang Wuye led them to a dilapidated thatched hut in a dense forest.

Entering it, all kinds of spider silk and dust are entangled.

"Ah sneeze!"

Ergou couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

He rubbed his nose and asked, "How long has it been since anyone came to this place?"

"Twenty years at least."

Mr. Zhang Wu said and patted the door panel, "Well, this elm wood is quite strong and has not aged. The three of you will be living here recently."

"Okay...okay."

Although Shilou was a little reluctant, this was the only place he could find shelter along the way.

"What? Are you unwilling?"

Mr. Zhang Wu turned his head and asked seriously.

"No, no, we'd love to."

Ergou smiled and started to tidy up the room.

About an hour later, Zhang Wuye arranged for Gu Sheng and the three of them to tidy up the room.

At least it can ensure that it doesn't leak when it rains, and mosquitoes don't fly around.

After the decoration was completed, Mr. Zhang Wu looked at the brand new hut, nodded and said, "Well, it's not bad."

"Lao Zhang, it's getting late, you should go back."

Gu Sheng reminded.

Zhang Wuye looked at the sun that was about to set, nodded and said, "Okay, basically it's nothing. You guys take care of yourselves."

Subsequently, Gu Sheng escorted Zhang Wuye to leave the godswood and return to Stone Village.

When we turned back to the godswood, the sky had already darkened.

But Gu Sheng did not enter the sacred forest directly. Instead, he arranged a barrier along the edge of the sacred forest.

If anyone discovers them, Gu Sheng will be able to detect them in time through the barrier.

In the next month, Gu Sheng taught Ergou and Shilou how to use some divine powers while studying the contents of the "Source-Seeking Heavenly Book".

Shilou and Ergou had divine energy blood in their bodies and quickly learned to fly off the ground, reaching a height of tens of meters.

At the same time, they can control power and break boulders with one punch.

Although it cannot be broken, this kind of power is enough to protect Stone Village.

Gu Sheng, on the other hand, learned some small source techniques, which allowed him to change shapes, but he did not reach the level of great source techniques that could change the world.

The three of them felt that this month had been very fulfilling.

This was too difficult. While they were resting comfortably, Gu Sheng suddenly felt someone entering the barrier.

"No! Someone is coming to the godswood!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng instantly flew towards the edge of the sacred forest.

At the same time, Ergou and Shilou also flew up.

When the three of them came to the edge of the godswood, they suddenly discovered that the person who came to the godswood was none other than their friend, Shi Shanlin.

I saw several wounds all over his body, it was obvious that he had been attacked.

Gu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward to hold the crumbling Shishanlin.

"Shanlin, what happened?"

Gu Sheng asked eagerly.

Shi Shanlin's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he stammered: "Quick...go and save Mr. Zhang Wu, they...they..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Shanlin fell into a coma.

Gu Sheng frowned, feeling that something major had happened in Shitou Village.

He immediately said to Ergou and Shilou: "You stay here and protect the mountains and forests, while I go to save Mr. Zhang Wu."

"No, I'll go."

"I want to go too!"

Ergou and Shilou said in unison.

Gu Sheng knew their determination and nodded: "Okay, Ergou will come with me. Shilou, you stay to take care of the mountains and forests."

"Okay...okay!"

Shilou responded and glanced at Shishanlin lying on the ground.

The two people immediately set off and flew quickly in the direction of Shishanlin.

They followed the path they had taken before and soon arrived at the edge of the stockade.

There was silence in the village at this time, which made them even more nervous.

They landed in front of Zhang Wuye's house and found that many people from the village were gathered around.

"It turns out everyone is here."

Ergou said in a deep voice.

Seeing this situation, Gu Sheng became even more anxious.

Because this situation can only explain one thing, that is, Mr. Zhang Wu must have suffered a great disaster.

When these neighbors saw Er Gou and Gu Sheng falling from the sky, their mouths opened in surprise.

"It's Xiao Sheng and Er Gou!"

"They are from heaven."

one of them exclaimed.

Ergou didn't care so much and rushed directly into Master Zhang Wu's room.

I saw Mr. Zhang Wu lying weakly on the bed, with a pale face, colorless lips, and obvious lack of energy and blood.

"Master Zhang Wu!"

Ergou exclaimed and hurried forward to check.

Zhang Wuye opened his eyes and saw Gu Sheng and the others, with an expression of relief in his eyes.

"Xiao Sheng...you are here."

Mr. Zhang Wu’s voice was a little weak.

"Old Zhang, who has been here?"

Gu Sheng asked nervously.

At this time, Elder Shi on the side stood up, sighed slightly and said, "Those people... they are here for the Heart of the Divine Tree."

"Heart of the sacred tree?"

Gu Sheng was shocked.

He had heard Zhang Wuye say before that it was the most precious treasure of the godswood forest, and the person who owned it could control the power of the entire forest.

"Why? Is it just to get the power in the forest?"

Gu Sheng asked.

"No."

Elder Shi shook his head, "Who knows where they learned about the awakened bloodlines of Shilou and Ergou, and want to absorb their divine energy by controlling the power of the forest, so we must stop them."

Zhang Wuye said with some difficulty.

"Which people?"

Ergou asked anxiously.

"Two groups of bandits."

someone in the crowd said.

"bandit?"

When Ergou heard this, his eyes were filled with anger.

He clenched his fists, as if he was going to fight fiercely.

"What a bastard! Damn it!"

Ergou cursed fiercely.

"Clang clang clang!"

Suddenly, a gong sounded.
