Chapter 56: Startled Retreat

Wang Yu quickly turned to take a look. Using his super vision, he caught a glimpse of the bone python in the black mist from a distance. His mind raced, and he made a decision.

Suddenly, his body felt heavy, and he fell from the tree like a stone.

‘Thud’

Wang Yu landed firmly on the ground. After quickly scanning the area, he moved swiftly to a tree as thick as a person can hug and kicked it.

"Crack!"

The tree snapped in half, and the upper part fell down, but he quickly adjusted and caught it with one hand.

"This guy is so strong! What is he doing?"

The two people on the back of the bone python had already chased over. When they saw Wang Yu’s actions below, the bald man was first a bit surprised, but then he was completely confused.

"Why care so much? Let’s go down and eat him," the thin man said, not paying any attention. Instead, he let out a sneer and urged the white bone token, causing the bone giant python to carry both of them down quickly.

The bald man frowned slightly but did not stop his companion. Instead, he raised his bone fork and began to chant.

Seeing this, Wang Yu shouted and plunged his fingers deep into the tree trunk. He then swung his arm powerfully, throwing a large piece of the tree into the air.

"Be careful!"

The bald man was startled. The bone fork in his hand turned into a streak of white light and shot out first, hitting the thrown tree.

With a dull thud.

The bone fork seemed to have some magical power, shattering the large piece of the tree into countless leaves and splinters.

But amidst the soaring bits, a flash of cold light darted in, striking the head of the charging bone giant python. It was a small iron shield.

"Clang"

The iron shield flew back, and the giant white-boned python rolled, throwing both people off its back, and its massive body fell straight down.

"Whoosh"

A giant figure, two meters tall, shot up into the sky like a cannonball. It kicked with a sharp whoosh at the python, which had not yet fully landed.

With a loud "boom."

The long python flew sideways, crashing into more than ten big trees before it finally came to a rough stop.

At that moment, its body was surrounded by faint black mist, a large part of its middle was shattered, and despite thrashing its head and tail and making a hissing cry of pain, it could not stand up for a while.

At the same time, the giant figure landed heavily on the ground.

It was Wang Yu, who had grown larger and had a tiger head pattern appearing on his back, having already used the Black Tiger Breathing Technique.

"Sonic Boom Fist"

"Guardian Wrestler"

The bald man and the skinny one both gasped at the same time as they slowly floated down to the ground not far away, surrounded by black mist.

The two seemed to recognize what Wang Yu’s current form represented, and their earlier relaxed expressions vanished.

The skinny one had a grim look on his face, tightly gripping the black banner in one hand, while in the other hand, the Token had a noticeable crack on its surface.

The bald man pressed both hands against the red bags at his sides, glaring fiercely at Wang Yu, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Wang Yu was momentarily stunned by the reaction of the two Dark Souls Sect opponents, but after a quick analysis in his mind, he suddenly moved, picked up an iron shield from the ground nearby, turned around, and jumped up into a big tree, disappearing into the woods after a few hops.

This scene left the bald man and the skinny one in shock once again.

But this time, the two exchanged glances and showed no intention of getting up to chase him.

"Oh, what bad luck! I just randomly pick a place to hide and end up running into a tough Guardian Wrestler." The bald man sighed deeply, rubbing his smooth head and frowning.

"Who can argue with that? These guys are really strong and will fight hard. Once they get close, it’s a headache for anyone. And the worst part is they’re all poor, so even if we manage to beat them, there probably won’t be any reward." The thin man looked at the damage on his Token and smiled bitterly.

"But this kid is so young and can become a Guardian Wrestler. He must be an undercover agent from the Four Elephant Gate assigned to Guangyuan District. Shouldn’t we stop him?" The bald man hesitated again.

"If you want to go after him, I won’t join. Instead of chasing that kid, we should look for easier targets. Once the Four Elephant Gate and other sects in Daming Prefecture react, this good chance will be gone." The thin man shook his head repeatedly.

"You make a good point, brother. Let’s go. I still have a spiritual talisman here, so let’s search for other fish that slipped through the net." The bald man thought for a moment and reluctantly nodded.

…

"Splash!"

As Wang Yu stepped out of the forest and saw a river not far away, he predicted the water’s flow, grabbed a large dry log, threw it into the water, and then jumped in.

He hid beneath the log, holding onto it tightly, and silently drifted downstream.

He saw this trick in a famous outdoor tracking show called Blue Star. Although he did not know if it would really work, he could only try it out as best as he could.

At this time, the sky had turned dark, making it easier to hide.

So, he used the cover of the night to float in the water holding a piece of dead wood for the whole night. But because the current wasn’t too strong, he only traveled a little over thirty miles.

When the sky brightened again, Wang Yu calculated the distance in his mind and thought he must be about a hundred miles away from Guangyuan District. He carefully let go of the dead wood and returned to the shore.

He ran quickly along a small path once more.

Now, no matter where he went, it was best to get as far away from the town as possible.

But he had only run for a short time when suddenly he heard a sharp sound in the sky. A large number of blue flying boats were shooting across the horizon, filling the sky.

Wang Yu was startled and immediately rolled to hide in the bushes by the side of the road, ready to see what was happening.

Just then, a burst of golden light suddenly shot out from one of the blue flying boats. In the sky, a golden toad shadow, about the size of a field, appeared and let out a loud "quack" downward.

Wang Yu felt a buzzing in his head, and it was as if his mind had frozen, making it impossible to think about anything.

In the next moment, a golden thread of light appeared around him. When he pulled it into the air, he soared upward, heading straight for the giant mouth of the toad’s shadow.

Wang Yu was not alone; there were about ten other figures being drawn by the same golden thread of light, rising up from the forests, rocks, and even the ground, all vanishing into the giant mouth of the golden toad’s shadow.

After the golden toad’s shadow let out another call, it silently dissolved and transformed into a burst of golden light that flew back to the green flying boat, landing in the hands of an oddly handsome old man in a golden robe, becoming a tiny golden toad just four or five inches long.
