death gap

Chapter 18

It was such an unexpected surprise that the Mask of Creation was activated by chance.

You must know that activating this godlike mask is not an easy task.

The elements of selflessness and altruism cannot be gathered by deliberately doing good deeds. They must be random acts of kindness without any distracting thoughts.

If you think too much and are too preoccupied, it will be useless even if you do a lot of good deeds.

Fortunately, this requirement is only required when it is activated.

"There's a new mask!"

Su Chen immediately jumped off the hospital bed, quickly walked to the door and closed it. He pressed his body against the door panel to prevent outsiders from accidentally breaking in, and then chose to activate the creation mask.

The next moment, a prismatic red light with the texture of a gem appeared between his eyebrows. The light immediately dispersed into patterns and spread around, eventually forming circles of floating thorn texture on his forehead.

The texture slowly spread, covering Su Chen's entire face.

Then he raised his head, and the texture of those thorns changed from virtual to real, and new branches of green branches were drawn out, and then intertwined with each other to form a mysterious mask of green, fresh and full of vitality.

This mask is made of emerald green branches and buds as the main body, and the shape is extremely exquisite, giving the facial contour a sense of holy and enchanting mystery; but the deep vertical pit lines dilute this enchantment, and the two merge into a kind of Divine ethereal.

While the mask was taking shape, all the secrets of the Creation Mask entered Su Chen's mind.

God-like Mask: Creation - also known as the Invisible Creation.

[Creation] hates bloodshed, hates war and death, has no armor mode, but has the magical power to create and heal wounds.

"Unlike courage, it is an auxiliary mask...just what I want." Su Chen thought of this and used his teeth to untie the bandage on his hand, revealing two bloody palms.

Looking at his own hands, he used his thoughts to drive the god-like mask and activate the power of creation.

The air rippled in circles, and then filled with the fresh aroma of grass and trees.

The next moment, the young man's hands were wrapped by a layer of tender green branches growing out of the void. Under the wrapping of the branches, his originally numb and itchy hands immediately became cool and comfortable.

After a few seconds, the green buds withered and fell off, turning into countless dust and dissipating.

As for Su Chen's hands, they had returned to their pre-injury state. The new skin was fair and delicate, with no scars visible.

"Very good, very good. It's more effective than any kind of medicine." He happily lifted off the mask.

In this way, I don't have to worry about being injured in the battle.

Hidden injuries caused during martial arts training can also be solved by oneself, which can save a lot of medical expenses.

"Wait! Activating the mask consumes calamity power. How much calamity power was consumed this time?" Su Chen thought of this and quickly checked the black water in the consciousness space.

After this check, he was immediately disappointed. The mask of courage, which was almost full of disaster power, now only had about 10% left.

"It seems that the mask cannot be activated casually. If something happens and you don't have enough tribulation power in your hands, you will be dead." He murmured to himself and sat back beside the hospital bed:

"In the final analysis, you still have to accumulate a lot of calamity power in advance. Only when you have food in hand can you not panic."

Beep beep beep——!
At this time, a cell phone ringing came from near the bedside table.

Su Chen looked back and found that the ringtone came from his own mobile phone, which Gu Yanchi should have put there before.

Picking up the phone and lighting up the screen, the call was clearly from Hong Shisan.

What can he get from himself?
Su Chen answered the phone curiously.

"Hey! Xiaochen, I'm going to go to Orange Township." Hong Shisan seemed to be eating at this time, chewing food while saying vaguely:

"But the people in that place all speak dialects that I can't understand, so I want to find a few locals to go with me." Hong Shisan is indeed not a native of Wuchang City. He came to open a boxing gym from other places and can only speak Mandarin. and hometown dialect.

When talking to the elderly people here in Wuchang City, they are often so anxious that they have to gesture with their hands.

To Master Hong, Wuchang dialect is no different from a foreign language.

His direct disciples were also brought from their hometown and knew nothing about the Wuchang dialect. After much thought, they came up with Su Chen, a registered disciple.

"Master Hong, what are you doing there?"

"It's not a big deal. A batch of cultural relics were recently unearthed in Chengxiang, and it is said that there are also thunder pillars from the Shenxiao sect." Hong Shisan took a sip of beer and said cheerfully:
"Think about it, the Shenxiao Sect was the authentic martial arts school of 100 years ago, and the Lightning Pillar is said to have recorded the general outline of the Thunder Method - the secret of the Five Thunder Methods. Can I not go and take a look?"

"Shenxiao Sect, Five Thunders Zhengfa?" Su Chen immediately fell into memories after hearing these two keywords.

The thunder method in this world is not the kind that can trigger thunder from the sky, but an internal martial art that simulates the sound of thunder to shake the bone marrow and temper the body.

The Five Thunder Methods of the Shenxiao Sect are the purest thunder methods.

It is known as the art of heaven and the source of all laws.

However, due to sticking to the old rules and only passing it down by word of mouth among the masters, the Five Thunder Zhengfa was lost with the disappearance of the 72nd generation of masters.

If it hadn't been for an extremely talented disciple who could deduce a small five-thunder technique with just a few words, the Shenxiao sect might have fallen into disarray long ago.

Today, under the great waves of the new era, many martial arts sects have been completely eliminated.

However, the Xiaowu Lei Method of the Shenxiao Sect is still a top-notch internal martial art, which shows the dominance of the Five Thunder Method in the past.

Although there are already many first-line internal martial arts in the new era that are not inferior to the Five Thunder Zhengfa, finding the Five Thunder Zhengfa is still the common dream of Yanfeng martial artists.

The thunder pillar of the Shenxiao sect that disappeared along with the leader became the object on which their dreams rested.

Because of this, there are endless scams against them. If Su Chen remembers correctly, thousands of antiques claiming to be the thunder pillars of the Shenxiao Sect have been unearthed.

Not one of them is genuine.

It is simply a sickle designed to cut martial artist's leeks.

Even so, there are still a few fools who fall for it every time it is unearthed.

Su Chen had no doubt that Hong Shisan was the next victim.

He originally wanted to refuse, but Hong Shisan said:

"Don't worry, your trip will not be in vain. I will continue to teach you martial arts on the way, and by the way, you will be exempted from one month's tuition."

"I'll go." Su Chen agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, come to the boxing gym in an hour, and we'll go together."

"No problem, I'll leave right away." Su Chen was ready to leave immediately.

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly thought of something. Could Orange Township be the place where Gu Yanchi grew up?

Maybe, maybe not.

Because there is also a Taoxiang in the township under the jurisdiction of Wuchang City.

However, since the two townships were next to each other and shared the same reservoir, Su Chen felt that he might meet Gu Yanchi.

Because they have to close the gap at the end of the underground tunnel.
