39 Is he hiding his strength like himself?

After walking through the forest for an unknown period of time, the air around him began to become humid.

Slowly, a white mist rose from all directions and gradually spread.

It was foggy.

Ji Chen thought the fog mechanism had been deleted, but he didn't expect it was only set to intermittent.

As the fog rose, his vision became blurred.

Ji Chen took Gu Nianchen's hand and whispered, "Follow me closely."

Gu Nianchen held Ji Chen's hand in his backhand, "Okay."

The two held hands. Although Ji Chen felt that the posture seemed a little ambiguous, he still comforted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you get hurt."

As a result, as soon as Ji Chen finished speaking, countless eyes appeared in the mist between the trees and stared at them with blood-red pupils.

Those were the eyes of animals.

The roar of the beasts could be heard faintly, echoing through the forest.

Ji Chen subconsciously pulled Gu Nianchen behind him.

Soon, the group of unidentified objects began to slowly approach them.

Blurry black figures loomed in the mist, mixed with low roars, and dozens of wolf demons suddenly broke through the mist and appeared in front of Ji Chen.

There were still three-headed wolves.

Three wolves, low- to medium-level monsters, if there was only one, it would take a foundation-building stage to deal with it.

But now there are more than a dozen.

It almost requires a Jindan stage.

Ji Chen's body itself does not have any cultivation.

But his soul still retains the memory of his cultivation in the previous life, and the spiritual power generated by the spirit stone can just temporarily activate his soul memory.

The more spirit stones there are, the stronger the spiritual power can be used, and the longer it can be maintained.

Originally, Ji Chen could kill them all with one sword, but he couldn't show it too powerful, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Moreover, if the spiritual pressure generated is too great, this secret realm will collapse.

He could only take out the "Gilded Sword" from the storage ring, pretending to be a Jindan stage cultivator, and rushed up with the sword.

- Just do it one by one.

Alas, it is really tiring to pretend to be weak as a big boss.

Seeing Ji Chen fighting with a group of wolf monsters, Gu Nianchen just watched.

Not only that, he didn't even think of hiding.

Little did he know that a three-headed wolf monster behind him had quietly approached him.

Ji Chen was still "trying his best" to fight with the wolf monster, and didn't notice the danger behind Gu Nianchen.

When he found out, the wolf monster had already pounced on Gu Nianchen.

"Get out of the way!"

Ji Chen immediately swung his sword to save it.

But just as he raised his hand, he saw the wolf demon in the air suddenly let out a miserable "howl", and without any spiritual power hitting it, it turned into a pool of blood!

Not even a skeleton was left, and the whole body turned into ashes in an instant.

Blood spilled all over the ground.

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, and first wondered if he had not controlled the sword energy well, and accidentally chopped the monster in a hurry.

But he really didn't have time to use any spiritual power just now.

He didn't feel any spiritual power fluctuations nearby.

But the wolf demon really turned into blood foam in the blink of an eye and disappeared completely.

Gu Nianchen was still standing there without moving. Seeing Ji Chen suddenly stop moving, he said to him, "Be careful, don't worry about me."

Ji Chen nodded doubtfully, and absentmindedly chopped down a wolf demon that was flying towards him.

Although his hands and body were still fighting, his figure shuttled between the trees, and his moves were fierce.

His thoughts were floating in the sky.

Ji Chen was wondering where the power came from just now, which could tear a low-level monster into blood foam in an instant.

Gu Nianchen...?

Is he hiding his strength like himself?

Ji Chen kept searching in his mind for a move that could tear the enemy into pieces in an instant without letting people notice the spiritual power.

After thinking about it, there is only one move, "Shadowless Palm".

This is a palm technique.

The person who strikes the palm will use a speed far beyond the limit of the naked eye, relying only on the power brought by the simple speed to hit the target.

Ji Chen suddenly thought that it seemed that Ghost Eye practiced palm techniques.

Could it be that Gu Nianchen was actually...

Not sure, let's wait and see.

While Ji Chen's mind was racing, he easily killed all these monsters without leaving a single one.

When all the monsters screamed and fell to the ground, Ji Chen squatted down and checked the wolf monster corpses one by one.

"Tsk tsk, this one is too fat. Eating too much will easily lead to high blood lipids and fatty liver."

"This one is too lean, and the meat feels tough and chewy."

"Hey, this one is just right."

Ji Chen searched for a long time and finally found a piece of food he was looking for. "It's not too fat or lean, the meat is tight, and there are large pieces of tendons. It

's perfect for stewing meat." Ji Chen's occupational disease is acting up.

More importantly, he forgot to bring food when he entered the secret realm, and only brought wine.

But wine is enough, and the food in the secret realm is ready-made.

Ji Chen used a sword to cut off the best piece of meat connected to the leg and abdomen, weighed it in his hand, and felt that it weighed about seven or eight pounds.

Gu Nianchen also came over at that time. Ji Chen held the bloody leg meat and asked him with a smile: "Do you want to eat the meal I cooked?"

Gu Nianchen's expression froze, and he answered without any emotion: "Yes."

Ji Chen still had some resentment in his heart: Last time you complained that the porridge I cooked was unpalatable.

He had automatically replaced Gu Nianchen with the ghost pupil.

But because he was uncertain, Ji Chen did not intend to expose it now.

He took out his "small gas stove" - ​​"Soul Transformation Bottle" and lit the fire.

Last time they made barbecue, which did not require a pot.

But this time Ji Chen did not plan to make barbecue, so he asked Gu Nianchen beside him: "Did you bring a pot?"

Although Ji Chen knew that no one would bring a pot to the secret realm.

However, although Gu Nianchen did not say a word, he really took out a pot in front of Ji Chen.

Ji Chen: ...I really have one.

Ji Chen took the pot, turned the handle and looked at it repeatedly, and asked in confusion: "Why did you bring this thing to the secret realm?"

Gu Nianchen said casually: "For self-defense."

Ji Chen suddenly didn't know what to say.

He quickly reached out to Gu Nianchen and said, "Borrow your knife, cut the meat with your sword."

Gu Nianchen had a short dagger on his waist. Ji Chen always felt that the knife was not very good at killing monsters.

It just so happened that it came in handy.

Gu Nianchen said nothing and quickly untied the dagger from his waist and handed it to Ji Chen.

With the knife in his hand, Ji Chen pressed the meat on a smooth wooden stake and cut it skillfully.

He wanted to cut the meat into dices and stew it with white wine.

Each piece of meat was exactly the same size, square, like a tofu cube.

While cutting the meat, Ji Chen did not forget to call Gu Nianchen: "Go find some grass, the kind that is fragrant and salty, try them all."

Gu Nianchen really went obediently.

Less than half a minute later, Gu Nianchen came back.

Ji Chen thought he didn't want to go, but he saw him throwing a lot of grass on the ground.

Not only grass, but also some edible fruits.

Ji Chen picked up a piece of grass and tasted it. It was quite fragrant and a little spicy, like the taste of green onions.

He tasted several other kinds of grass. Some were sweet, some were salty, and some were sour. In short, they were definitely enough for seasoning.
