Chapter 23

The whole process was not short. The girl's soft body was right next to Gu Chen, and her unique body fragrance wafted into his nostrils. It was very fragrant.

The male disciples at the side were a little jealous. They were also injured, but who could be so loved by the daughter of the Purple Cloud Sect's leader?

"Alright, your wounds have been treated. But Brother Gu, you are quite injured. Do you want to leave the Forbidden Forest with us? "

After almost dying under the attack of the beasts, the group of people had completely given up on the idea of hunting Innate Stage demonic beasts.

They just wanted to leave the Forbidden Forest as soon as possible to avoid any more accidents.

Lu Yichen was grateful to Gu Chen for saving her life, and felt that his injuries were not light. She really hoped that he could leave with them, so that they could take care of each other.

Gu Chen shook his head without hesitation.

"I still have two more weeks before my training ends. You guys leave on your own."

"Two more weeks... Wuchen Sect's Rising Dragon Ceremony?"

Lu Yichen mumbled to herself. She had already understood everything.

This was a youth with a will as firm as a rock. She had never seen such qualities in other people of the same age.

He was special.

She really wanted to help him.

"Brother Gu, wait."

Lu Yichen called the disciples of the other two sects away, and no one knew what they were discussing.

Gu Chen ignored them and quietly meditated to rest.

After a while, a group of people returned with Lu Yichen in the lead.

"Brother Gu, to be honest, we have been tracking an Innate Stage demonic beast for more than a month, but we were still one step away from capturing it."

"The reason why we were surrounded by beasts was also because of that Innate Stage demonic beast."

"Now that we have decided to go back, it would be a pity to let that Innate Stage demonic beast escape. If Brother Gu is interested, we can tell you everything about that demonic beast. "

Lu Yichen went straight to the point and made her intentions clear.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up. His training progress was indeed lagging behind, and he was afraid that he would not be able to complete his goal before the Rising Dragon Ceremony.

An Innate Stage demonic beast was of great significance to him. This was undoubtedly a timely help!

"I'll have to trouble Miss Lu to tell me everything about that Connate demonic beast. I'll never forget this favor."

Gu Chen said solemnly.

"Brother Gu, don't say that. You've saved so many of our lives. What's this bit of information worth?"

Lu Yichen shook her head and did not waste any more time. She briefly explained the situation of the Xian Tian Realm demonic beast.

"That Xian Tian level demonic beast is a white ape. I don't know what kind of beast it is, but I know that it is very intelligent and agile."

"It's true that ordinary Xian Tian level demonic beasts can control hundreds of beasts. But, I've never heard of a demonic beast being able to control flying beasts. But, that white ape has done it."

"We've been chasing after its shadow. We thought we were about to catch it, but in the end, we fell into a trap."

"Now that I think about it, perhaps it has always been toying with us. It could have easily escaped, but it would always turn back. It has always been at ease."

Gu Chen listened attentively and asked. "Where did it go in the end? I think I heard a sound from the cliff just now. Could it be it? "

Lu Yichen nodded. "That's it. The last time we saw it, it was on this cliff."

"Brother Gu, you must be careful when you're chasing after it. That demonic beast is too cunning. We're not sure if it has any other unknown tricks up its sleeves. Anyway, take care. "

Lu Yichen reminded him in detail.

Gu Chen memorized everything. The group was in a hurry to leave the Forbidden Forest. Hence, they bade farewell.

"Brother Gu, take care. I believe we'll meet again very soon."

Lu Yichen waved goodbye with a smile on her face. Her words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"Miss Lu, take care."

Gu Chen nodded. He had a good impression of this young lady whom he had just met.

After the group had left, Gu Chen looked up at the top of the cliff. But, he couldn't see if there was anything up there.

"Coo, coo."

After the battle, Gu Chen was hungry again. In addition, the sky was getting dark. He wasn't in a hurry to chase after the white ape. Instead, he made a grill on the spot.

Because grilling was too time-consuming, he only grilled most of the meat. He didn't care if it was charred or if it tasted good.

Only when the ingredient was the White Forehead Black Fiend Bear would he grill it. The meat of this savage beast was extremely delicious, especially the bear's paw. It was simply a delicacy.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimney. Gu Chen started grilling the meat at the bottom of the cliff.

Soon, the fragrance of the meat wafted out. Every inch of the bear meat was grilled until it was soft and tender. Meat juices were constantly flowing out.

Gu Chen gorged himself.

The fragrance of the meat wafted to the top of the cliff. Unknowingly, a white figure quietly slipped down from the cliff.

Gu Chen didn't notice it. He was focused on the food in front of him.

A moment later, the meticulously grilled bear meat was finished. However, Gu Chen's stomach was only slightly full.

He raised his head and looked at the other meat that he had casually grilled on a tree branch.

He was stunned when he saw that the meat of a few fierce tigers and wolves was gone. All that was left were empty skeletons.

His mouth twitched. It was obvious that someone had secretly eaten it!

Which bastard was so powerful to be able to eat all the meat and leave him with a pale skeleton? It was as if he was mocking him.

His eyes moved. Suddenly, he saw a white figure.

"You thief!"

Picking up a stone, Gu Chen angrily threw it!

His arm had the strength of a hundred thousand jin. This strike was like a cannonball.

Bang!

A pit appeared on the ground. That white figure somersaulted on the ground and nimbly dodged it. Then, it casually picked up a roasted fierce tiger. It was clearly an experienced criminal.

"Squeak squeak!"

Gu Chen finally saw its appearance. It was a white ape that only reached his knees. It was obviously still very young.

Its fur was as white as snow. Under the moonlight, it looked extremely beautiful.

It had a pair of strange golden eyes, and the space between its eyebrows was extremely lively.

"It's you!"

Gu Chen was shocked. Wasn't this the Innate Stage demonic beast that Lu Yichen and the rest were chasing?

He didn't expect that before he could find trouble with it, it had already come to steal his food!

"You stinky monkey. Since you are here, then stay."

Gu Chen snorted. He was overjoyed. He picked up the Cold Star Sword and chased after it.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The white ape easily grabbed the tiger meat that was much bigger than itself. It made a face at Gu Chen with the other hand.

Whoosh —

In the blink of an eye, it had already run more than ten zhang away. It climbed up the cliff!

"Don't run!"

The Innate Stage demonic beast was right in front of him. How could Gu Chen let it escape? He hung the sword on his waist and quickly climbed up the cliff!

A chase between a man and an ape broke out in the forest. The white ape held the tiger meat in its hand as it ran.

It vividly illustrated the saying, "Life is in the hands of a foodie." In just a few breaths, it had finished the tiger meat.

Gu Chen's speed was slower than the ape's, so it took him a long time to climb up the cliff. By the time he caught up with it, the white ape was lying on the branch of a big tree. It was full of food and wine and was calm and composed.

Seeing that Gu Chen had caught up, the white ape picked its teeth with the leftover bone and threw it to Gu Chen.
