Chapter 636
(Unedited)
…
Two people are standing at the top of a tall naturally erected wall while looking at the dense forest below them. The darkness of the night and the mild wind that blew over make them feel as if nothing is happening. The danger and the horde do not exist in this tranquil place.
"Commander, do you believe that young doctor?" asked the man standing beside the garrison commander.
"Hmm… I actually did not. But I could not help but be hopeful. That's why I gave him the benefit of the doubt. However, if they truly succeed, then we don't have to worry about our als anymore, right?"
Upon hearing his commander the man just shifted his gaze towards the dense forest. Although that place is really dangerous, their soldiers are trained to brave that danger.
In fact, before the horde and the monstrous beasts appear, they could easily dispatch any creature in the forest. And for hundreds and thousands of years, they have held strong. However, for so unknown reason, those enormous beasts suddenly appear which caught them off-guard.
And so the two continue to watch the dense forest as a mixed feeling enters their minds.
…
anwhile, inside that dense forest, a group of ten people are currently walking deeper with a small man of about 4 feet in height with a lean feature guiding them.
This man is an expert in reconnaissance and tracking. He was trained to spot and know this dense forest and the location of every beast and their nest.
As the group walks deeper, they began to tread slowly and cautiously.
anwhile, among the group of soldiers, a few are currently having so animosity towards Shin Jiao. Though they were inford that he was a doctor and that he is helping them, they could not accept him going with the team and viewed him as a burden.
"Hey, why do you think this weakling has to co with us? Can't he just stay in the garrison and wait?" one of the soldiers with a dium built body said in a hushed voice.
"Yeah, I don't understand why the commander actually agrees for this burden to co with us."
"Well, if sothing happens, we'll just leave this ignorant fool in here."
One of the soldiers who seem to have a good reputation among this group suddenly showed a smirk towards Shin Jiao who is walking behind them.
"Don't talk nonsense, you guys. If the young doctor wanted to take a stroll who are we to stop him. Hopefully, he would not be running away scared when he actually sees a demonic beast… Hahaha…" the man said with a chuckle.
The man's voice is not that loud, but not that soft either. Everyone actually heard him and just showed a smile on their faces. It seems that they all share the sa sentint. However, Shin Jiao didn't mind as his first goal is already t as he has already learned a way to get over the garrison towards the forest path.
Suddenly the small man lifted his hand and gestured for everyone to stop.
When the group halted, they imdiately beca vigilant.
"There… A large boar…" the small man pointed towards a location and said in a low voice.
Everyone shifted their gaze to the location where the man is pointing and all imdiately frowned, everyone except for Shin Jiao. This is because he has already seen the silhouette of the beast. However, his expression suddenly changes as not far from that beast is a group of another type of beast slow moving towards the large boar.
"This is bad. This would make everything a bit complicated." Shin Jiao thought as he could see that the guide did not notice the presence of those lurking beast.
From the looks of it, this is a group of ape-like beasts.
Shin Jiao knew that if he did not act now he would be wasting more ti with these people in hunting. He just needs to teach them how to disperse that unknown energy in those beasts using an array. Plus he needed to do this fast as he could feel that there is sothing inside this so-called Valley of the Gods. In fact, while entering this dense forest he could already feel that sothing is odd. It's like so powerful being is calling him to go deeper into the forest.
Though it felt weird and eerie, Shin Jiao is not afraid to venture deeper. His desire to go out of this barren land is getting stronger.
Suddenly his mind drifted sowhere. He truly missed Susan Tang and could not wait to see her again. Plus, he is also aware that she is pregnant with his child. He wanted to be there when she gives birth.
Suddenly, he rembers Qin Lou… She was one of the won that he had a deep feeling before. However, when he lost his mories, that feeling was transferred to Susan Tang in which she shares the sa face.
As of now, he didn't know how he would react if he sees her again. Well, in fact, he already saw her before but he acted differently at that ti because of Susan Tang.
The complex relation he had with won made Shin Jiao smile unconsciously.
A sudden movent from the beasts ahead jolted Shin Jiao's mind to the present as he subconsciously took out a few thumb-size tal needles from his ring.
The small man signaled the group to prepare to fight as he seems to have noticed the other party.
Shin Jiao did not want to act yet. He would just wait and see if these people truly live up to their na as elite warriors. Plus he was a bit offended by their words and calling him weak. So a little lesson would not be that bad to curb their pride a little.
Suddenly, the small man signaled for the group to attack.
Jumping from their hiding spot, the 6 elite soldiers wanted to surprise the wild boar. However, what greeted them is a group of 4 large apes.
"Ah, here we go…" Shin Jiao muttered with a smile.
The wild boar was a bit shocked and suddenly jumps back to face the creatures that suddenly appear behind its back.
When the two groups and the boar saw each other, they all showed a wary attitude towards each group. But suddenly, the ape-like beast saw sothing on the ground and an angry expression appears on their faces.
This is because what they saw lying on the ground is a corpse of one of their kind. The large wild boar is actually feasting on that already mangled carcass of a dead ape-like beast lying on the ground. From the mouth of the wild boar, one can see fresh blood still flowing down and a munching sound could be heard as it continuously chewed on the raw at on its mouth.
Suddenly, the apes growled as they charge towards the wild boar in frenzy. Then a deadly battle began which almost toppled and turn the area into ruins.
The elite soldiers imdiately ran away and hid as they just watch the beasts fought savagely against each other.
Not long later, the group of apes was actually defeated by the large wild boar and one of them ended up dead while the three escaped with wounds on their bodies. The wild boar snorted coldly towards the retreating figure of the apes as its gaze shifted towards the direction of the humans.
"Damn it seems that it would take us on next. Hehe…" One of the elite soldiers said with a chuckle.
Then the six of them walk out of the bushes along with two of the martial cultivators that were sent to protect Shin Jiao.
When the wild boar saw the humans, it suddenly growled towards the group like an angry dog. Then mists of smoke appear from its snout as it snorted in disdain towards the small humans in front of it.
"Don't let it recover, attack!" shouted one of the martial cultivators.
The group brandished their weapons as they began to charge towards the wild boar. And another deadly battle ensues.
However, in this deadly battle, humans are clearly at a disadvantage. Even with the strength of the two martial cultivators, it is still not enough to defeat this large boar. Suddenly, the wild boar grabs the opportunity to charge towards an elite soldier who is lying on the ground.
When Shin Jiao saw who that person is, a smile appears on his face. That is because the soldier is the one who had vocally berated Shin Jiao and called him dead weight.
But what happened next seems to change Shin Jiao's opinion about the guy.
"Guy's I'll hold this thing while you give it a deadly blow!" the man shouted as he braced himself to catch the already charging beast.
The rest of the soldiers showed respect towards the guy. Although he seems to have been wounded, he still wanted to fight which is really an admirable characteristic of a warrior.
"Co on!" shouted the elite soldier as he bravely faces the wild boar head-on.
Shin Jiao could see that there is a deep gash on his stomach area.
So now, instead of annoyance, Shin Jiao viewed this person as a proud warrior. It seems that he felt disdain at Shin Jiao because he thought that he was just there to be a burden to them.
Though he admired the man's fighting spirit, he knew that if he didn't help, this guy would still die.
Shin Jiao suddenly stood up which frightened the man behind him.
"Doctor, don't act rashly… he is a soldier and is ready to die in battle. We must show respect for his bravery." The man said.
However, Shin Jiao did not mind the man standing behind him. He just adjusted his sight and viewed his target. He then adjusted his stance and prepares to throw the thumb-size spikes.
Suddenly, from within the bushes, a group of apes jumps out and is rushing towards the humans and the wild boar at the sa ti. In one look there are around fifteen of them and it seems that leading the group of apes is a large gorilla of about 6 ters in height.
This is the sa group of apes who had retreated. It seems that they called for backup.
When the humans noticed the ambush, it was already too late.
