Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119: Chapter 97: Tragic Scene at Cang Mountain! Elders’ High Stakes Gamble!

Gu Sheng carried the bear carcass but did not head toward Gu’s Manor. Instead, he found a hidden mountain cave to process the bear carcass, waiting until nightfall to bring it back to the manor without attracting attention.

He had no intention of revealing that he had hunted another black bear.

This didn’t align with the typical combat abilities of a Refining Skin Realm martial artist. Encountering an injured ferocious tiger once might be plausible, but repeatedly hunting wounded large beasts would easily arouse suspicion.

With the Great Success Snake Breath Skill, Gu Sheng could easily avoid the patrols of the manor’s martial artists.

In actuality, the patrol frequency in the outer manor was extremely low, and many martial artists wouldn’t patrol this area at all. Otherwise, during the previous wolf pack attack on the village, they wouldn’t have reacted so slowly.

Night deepened.

Gu Sheng returned home and took a deep breath, a lingering unease in his heart.

He practiced several rounds of Iron Stone Fist, yet still felt restless.

When handling the bear carcass, he had noticed that the wild bear’s flesh seemed unnaturally withered, as if something had drained part of its essence. This left Gu Sheng with an eerie feeling.

"Something has definitely emerged deep within the Cang Mountain. I absolutely cannot go there during this period!"

His gaze became resolute. He decided to warn Gu Erniu and a few close hunters to avoid hunting in the mountains during this time.

No matter how tempting the frequent appearances of large beasts were, he wouldn’t be swayed. If that mysterious thing in the mountain truly came out, it would be disastrous. He had worked so hard to reach the Blood Refining Realm and couldn’t afford to lose everything in such an unpredictable moment.

Gu Sheng remained as cautious as always, not allowing his growing strength to make him arrogant.

The next day.

Gu Sheng indirectly hinted to Gu Erniu, Zhang Ze, and others that due to the recent increase in the frequency of large beasts in the mountains, it was best to wait until the situation calmed down before hunting. Zhang Ze and the others readily agreed, as just the previous day, a martial artist from Dahe Village had also hunted a tiger!

Zhang Ze and the others weren’t fools; large beasts weren’t something ordinary hunters should deal with.

Without a martial artist leading the team, hunting such beasts would be reckless.

In previous years, spotting one or two such beasts in a year would be rare, but now they seemed to appear in clusters, which was extremely unusual.

Seeing that Gu Erniu and the others took his advice seriously, Gu Sheng felt slightly relieved.

He privately emphasized the importance of caution to Gu Erniu once more. Gu Erniu nodded repeatedly, elevating his level of concern further. He was well aware of Gu Sheng’s prudent nature, and such warnings were certainly not without foundation.

However, not everyone would be deterred.

Some saw this as a heaven-sent opportunity. If one man couldn’t take down a tiger, then they would form a team to kill it!

Some even had martial artists leading teams into the mountains.

Gu Sheng looked at Gu Jinmu but politely declined: _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
