Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

Chapter 497: Divine Forest

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

Gu Sheng nodded and consoled.

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

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

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 home, the fluctuations of divine power became stronger and stronger, as if even the air was shaking.

At the same time, the surrounding chickens, ducks, geese and dogs seemed to feel this power, and their cries were filled with panic and anxiety.

"What's going on? It's like a complete mess!"

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

"We have to hurry!"

Gu Sheng said anxiously, his pace quickening.

When they finally arrived at Ergou's house, the scene before them stunned them.

I saw some neighbors standing outside, not daring to go in, as if they had seen a monster.

In Ergou's yard, the livestock were panicked and running around.

Their cries are so loud that they almost tear your eardrums.

Ergou, who was standing in the middle of the yard, had changed drastically.

I saw that his face was covered with strange lines, and he looked somewhat similar to Shi Lou.

But Ergou’s eyes were wide open, as if he was controlled by some force.

Gu Sheng rushed into the yard and called out anxiously, "Ergou, what's wrong with you?"

Ergou turned his head, his eyes revealing 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 stepped forward and said to them, "Elder Shi, Master Zhang Wu, you are very knowledgeable. What happened to Ergou?"

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

Uncle Zhang Wu comforted him.

Suddenly, Ergou raised his hands, clenched his fists, and punched the pigpen next to him.

I saw a divine power burst out from his palm.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise.

The pigsty was shattered in an instant, with wood chips and dirt splattering everywhere.

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

"Piggy! My piggy!"

Ergou’s mother screamed and chased him out.

Seeing this, other neighbors rushed to help chase after him.

"My God!"

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

“Isn’t this too powerful?”

"Ergou, he...he became a cultivator?"

"I don't know. I've never seen Er Gou become like this, and possess such strong power."

Some villagers whispered.

"Ergou, calm down!"

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

Gu Sheng knew that if Ergou couldn't control this power, it might cause greater damage or even hurt himself!
“I…I can’t do it!”

There was despair in Ergou's voice, his hands were shaking, and he was obviously trying hard to control the power in his body.

Elder Shi and Master Zhang Wu looked at each other and knew that they had to take immediate action.

"Xiao Sheng, beat him up quickly."

Elder Shi said earnestly.

"Ah."

Gu Sheng nodded and took a step forward.

In an instant, divine power began to gather in his hands, ready to help Ergou stabilize this power.

"Ergou, look at me."

There seemed to be a strange rhythm in Gu Sheng's voice.

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

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

In the moment of eye contact, Ergou's body seemed to gradually calm down.

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

"call……"

Ergou let out a long breath.

After a few minutes, his face regained its calmness 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 Master Zhang Wu looked at Ergou and felt relieved.

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

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

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

Uncle Zhang Wu suggested.

Elder Shi nodded: "That's right, we can't let this power get out of control, otherwise it will bring disaster to the village."

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

"where is it?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi asked in unison.

"The Godswood."

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

"Shenmuelin?"

Gu Sheng and Elder Shi looked at each other.

Gu Sheng had heard of that place before, but had never been there.

"Yes, that's right. There are ancient sacred trees there that can absorb and stabilize divine power. It's the best place for cultivation."

Elder Shi nodded in agreement.

"Oh? It would be great if they could stabilize their divine power! This way, it would 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 anticipation.

After all, this uncontrollable force is very uncomfortable for him, and it may even hurt others.

"Tomorrow morning."

Elder Shi said, "Tonight, you should rest well and prepare yourself."

"Ok."

Gu Sheng and Master Zhang Wu nodded.

As night fell, Shitouzhai returned to peace.

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

At this time, their two families were together, and they felt unsure whether to be happy or sad.

"Ergou, when we get to Shenmu Forest, you, Shilou, and Xiaosheng will take care of each other. Do you hear me?"

Ergou’s mother said with some disappointment.

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

Ergou smiled.

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

"I see. Alas..."

Shi Lou sighed, seeming a little impatient.

That night, the two pairs of 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 took the path that led to the godswood.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops and fell on them, adding a little warmth to their journey.

Shenmulin is located to the north of Shitouzhai and is a forest covered with thousand-year-old trees.

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

The forest is filled with a faint scent of grass and wood, which makes people feel relaxed.

"This place is really special." Gu Sheng exclaimed.

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

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

Uncle Zhang Wu explained.

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

Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction.

Not long after, Uncle Zhang Wu brought them to a dilapidated hut in a dense forest.

Entering it, you will see all kinds of spider silk and dust everywhere.

"Ah!"

Ergou couldn't help but sneeze loudly.

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

"It's been at least twenty years."

Uncle Zhang Wu said, patting the door panel, "Well, this elm wood is still quite strong and has not aged. You three can live here for the time being."

"Okay... okay."

Although Shilou was somewhat reluctant, this was the only place he could stay along the way.

"Why? Are you reluctant?"

Uncle 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, Uncle Zhang Wu arranged for Gu Sheng and the other three to tidy up the room.

At the very least it can ensure that it does not leak when it rains and mosquitoes will not fly around.

After the arrangement was completed, Master Zhang Wu looked at the newly renovated hut, nodded and said, "Well, it's OK."

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

Gu Sheng reminded.

Uncle Zhang Wu looked at the sun that was about to set, nodded and said, "Okay, basically nothing will happen, take care of yourselves."

Afterwards, Gu Sheng escorted Master Zhang Wu out of the Shenmulin and back to Shitou Village.

When we returned to the Shenmu Forest, it was already dark.

However, Gu Sheng did not enter the sacred forest directly. Instead, he set up a barrier along the edge of the sacred forest.

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

In the following month, Gu Sheng taught Ergou and Shilou some methods of using divine power while studying the contents of "Searching for the Source of Heavenly Book".

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

At the same time, they can control their strength and break huge rocks with one punch.

Although it cannot be destroyed, this power is enough to protect the Stone Village.

Gu Sheng learned some minor source techniques and was able to change his shape and shadow, but he had not reached the level of major source techniques that could change the world.

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

This was too difficult. Just as they were taking a comfortable rest, Gu Sheng suddenly felt someone entering the barrier.

"Oh no! Someone is coming to Shenmu Forest!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng instantly flew towards the edge of the Shenmu Forest.

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

When the three of them arrived at the edge of the Shenmu Forest, they were shocked to find that the person who came to the Shenmu Forest was none other than their friend, Shi Shanlin.

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

Gu Sheng hurried forward and supported the crumbling Shi Shanlin.

"Shanlin, what happened?"

Gu Sheng asked anxiously.

Shi Shanlin's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he stammered, "Hurry... hurry up and save Master Zhang Wu, they... they..."

Before he could finish his words, Shi Shanlin fell into coma.

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

He immediately said to Ergou and Shilou, "You stay here and protect the forest. I will go and rescue Master Zhang Wu."

"No, I'll go."

"I also need to go!"

Ergou and Shilou said in unison.

Gu Sheng knew their determination and nodded: "Okay, Ergou will go with me, Shilou, you stay and take care of the forest."

"Okay... okay!"

Shi Lou responded and glanced at Shi Shanlin who was lying on the ground.

The two of them set off immediately and flew quickly in the direction of the stone mountain forest.

They followed the same path they had taken and soon arrived at the edge of the village.

The village was completely silent at this time, which made them even more nervous.

They landed in front of Master Zhang Wu's house and found many people from the village gathered there.

“So everyone is here.”

Ergou said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng became even more anxious.

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

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

"It's Xiaosheng and Ergou!"

"They came from heaven."

One of them exclaimed.

Ergou didn't care about anything else and rushed directly into Master Zhang Wu's room.

I saw Uncle Zhang Wu lying weakly on the bed, his face was pale, his lips were colorless, and he was obviously lacking in energy and blood.

"Master Zhang Wu!"

Ergou exclaimed and hurried forward to check.

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

"Xiao Sheng...you are here."

Uncle Zhang Wu's voice was a little weak.

"Lao Zhang, who has been here?"

Gu Sheng asked nervously.

At this time, Elder Shi stood up, sighed slightly and said: "Those people... they came for the Heart of the Sacred Tree."

"The heart of the sacred tree?"

Gu Sheng was shocked.

He had heard from Master Zhang Wu before that it was the greatest treasure of the Shenmu Forest and whoever possessed it could control the power of the entire forest.

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

Gu Sheng asked.

"Do not."

Elder Shi shook his head. "Someone has learned about Shi Lou and Er Gou's awakened bloodlines from somewhere, and they want to absorb their divine powers by controlling the power of the forest. So, we must stop them."

Uncle Zhang Wu 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, looking ready for a fierce fight.

"Fuck it, damn it!"

Ergou cursed harshly.

"Clang clang clang!"

Suddenly, the sound of a gong was heard.
