"Scared?" Si Chen was holding one of her little hands and sensed the coldness of her palm. He tapped on her hand and said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
Gu Xijiu remained silent, but the Firmament Stone kept nagging, "What can a troublemaker contribute?"
Perhaps, the beast in the sixth peak was too ferocious, those beasts in the fifth peak were nowhere to be seen. Therefore, the border was a rare and safe place.
Since Gu Xijiu knew the beasts in the sixth peak could not come into the fifth peak, she did not hurry to leave but observed the beasts in the opposite direction for a while. The Heaven Floating Wings looked like a winged dragon, it seemed very eager to break into the fifth peak as it kept blowing fire towards the barrier, but the barrier was as solid as molten gold. Even though it had been working hard to destroy the barrier, there was not even a tiny crack on the surface. That pissed it off and caused it to roar continuously until the ground was shaking.
Gu Xijiu gradually got more relaxed and sat on a huge rock.
Si Chen looked at her, "What are you doing?"
Gu Xijiu was in a position of meditation, "I’m thinking to restore my energy before I start to run again." She has been running around since she landed in the Dark Forest and she was too busy to rest. She was exhausted! Although she had a short break in the underground earlier, there was insufficient spiritual energy underground. Her meditation only helped her to restore her physical energy but not her last bit of spiritual power.
The border of the fifth and sixth peak was rich in spiritual energy, coupled with the absence of beasts; she could peacefully restore her spiritual power.
Si Chen sighed, "You’re such a brave girl."
After all, not everyone dares to take a break there. The overlord of the Yinyang clan who had a level eight spiritual power accidentally came to the border as well. However, she was frightened and escaped immediately without any hesitation when she saw the beasts in the sixth peak.
All the while, Gu Xijiu was the weakest among all the people who came here, but she was also the bravest person. She was brave but not reckless. She could always find a way to escape from the danger regardless of the seriousness of the situation.
This little girl is a unique one!
Si Chen had seen at least 800-1000 female assassins before, but none of them were so unique. What did she use to be before she was reborn?
Si Chen looked at her and idled.
Although that place was relatively safe, they could hear the scary roars from the surroundings. Even the Firmament Stone which had so many years of experience wanted to hide somewhere. However, Gu Xijiu was very calm and able to get herself into the peaceful, meditative state.
Was this little girl is too young and naive? While that place was relatively safe, it was not completely safe. Some reckless animals would wander around once in a while.
When Si Chen was thinking about her uniqueness, Gu Xijiu suddenly opened her eyes and jumped up, "Damn! I forgot something."
She waved at Si Chen who was looking at her, "Come, help me."
Si Chen was curious and got up from the ground, "How can I help you?"
A moment later, he finally understood. Gu Xijiu had chopped some wood and placed it on herself. However, the way she arranged the woods was very special.
Si Chen asked her as he was helping her to move the woods, "What kind of arrangement are you trying to set?"
"Safe Wind Array, it can withstand attacks from beasts." Gu Xijiu told him honestly without any reserve.
Si Chen thought he was very knowledgeable, but he found it quite interesting as that was his first time knowing about this array. Thus, he also tried to study the arrangement while moving the woods.
A moment later, he finally asked, "Ah Sheng, did you come out with the array by yourself?"
Gu Xijiu nodded, "Yes. I just figured it out not long ago; we could try it here now."
Si Chen was speechless but amazed!
After he finished setting the array, Gu Xijiu returned to her spot and sat down. She looked at Si Chen and asked, "Do you want to have a rest first?"
Si Chen shook his head, "I’m good, I don’t need to rest."
"Alright, then you can be my guardian for two hours? If there's a beast, as long as it doesn't come close to this particular spot, the array would still work, and the beasts could not hurt us." Gu Xijiu said as she pointed in a particular direction.
"What if it goes across that spot?" Si Chen was curious.
"Then you wake me up; I’ll have my way to kill them!" Gu Xijiu said confidently."
"Alright!" Si Chen agreed.
Thus, Gu Xijiu began to meditate again.
15 minutes later, Gu Xijiu was awakened by Si Chen, "Ah Sheng! A beast is coming!"
Gu Xijiu quickly opened her eyes and saw that a golden leopard had broken into the array!
The leopard was different from what she had seen before. It was as big as three normal-sized leopards, and its fangs were as long as a ruler! Its eyes were extremely ferocious.
Gu Xijiu quickly jumped up and waved her hands. The gigantic woods in the array moved according to her gestures. A moment later, the array has been set to a killing array, and countless of gigantic pieces of wood were thrown at the leopard. Although the leopard had a very thick layer of skin and flesh, it did feel pain. It was running and jumping around to avoid the woods in the array. However, the more it jumped and ran, the stronger the effect of the wind! The leopard has been severely injured and did not dare to challenge Gu Xijiu anymore.
Si Chen gave her a thumbs up as he was watching the entire show, "This array is quite cool huh?"
Gu Xijiu smiled and said, "Of course." However, she was wondering how the beast broke into the array as it required a high IQ for the animal to do that. However, the leopard did not seem to be a smart species.
She could not help but stare at Si Chen and wonder whether he was the one who let the leopard in!
"Little Cang, keep an eye on him." Gu Xijiu ordered the Firmament Stone as she felt it was possible after pondering.
"Alright!" The Firmament Stone answered. It wanted to be the guardian earlier, but it did not know it would fall asleep.
Gu Xijiu was still worried. Thus, she took the gigantic mussel and told it to watch the array before she meditated again.
This time, she meditated over a long period, and Si Chen did not disturb her again.
After a day of meditation, she was shocked by the surrounding when she opened her eyes.
Numerous beasts were trying to break the array, and all of them were jumping and flipping in the cold air.
They were chasing after Si Chen...
She had no idea about Si Chen's Kung Fu, but his skills were fantastic! He could be as fast as the wind, and none of the beasts could even take a small bite of his robe. Therefore, they kept chasing after him and eventually all were attracted to the array.
While the mussel was blocking the entrance of the door, it ate the beasts whenever it was lured to its place... The humans and the mussel formed a good team!
