Chapter 115 Fire Cloud Fist
They hid behind a thick tree and observed the area.
Soon, they saw a young man in a red robe. He was tall and thin, and his movements were fast. He moved through the forest like the wind.
"This person doesn't look different from ordinary people, why does his blood give a different feeling to me…"
Zhou Chen, who was observing the person, was puzzled.
"Who is it!"
Suddenly, the red-robed man stopped and looked in the direction Zhou Chen and the young man were hiding.
Zhou Chen and the suited man did not reply.
However, when this person saw that there was no reaction from his surroundings, he did not think that he had imagined it. Instead, he quickly headed for the tree that Zhou Chen and the suited man were hiding in.
Zhou Chen could not be bothered to dodge. He walked out from behind the tree and said,
"Wait, we are travelers who just happened to pass by this place."
"Travelers?"
The corners of the red-robed young man's mouth immediately curled up when he saw Zhou Chen and the suited man come out from behind the tree.
"Hehe, why would a traveler hide behind a tree and observe me?"
He chuckled and punched at Zhou Chen's group. A fire fist the size of a water barrel immediately appeared in the air and quickly charged towards them!
Zhou Chen and the suited man quickly dodged. The fire fist brushed past them and hit a tree behind them, crushing it on the spot. Then, the smell of burning wood appeared in the air.
'This person is quite strong, he might drop something if I kill him.'
Not only did Zhou Chen not feel fear, but he saw the man as an elite monster, a target that had to be killed.
'Rebound! Activate!'
As for how to kill this person, Zhou Chen could not think of anything good at the moment. He could only try to close the distance. He believed that with the tankiness of his body, there should be some room for error.
"You are asking for it!"
When the young man saw that one of the two still dared to charge at him after dodging his attack, he immediately shouted angrily. Then, two faint fire clouds circled around his body, guarding him. At the same time, flames ignited on his fist, and he punched a few fire punches at the charging Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen did not panic when faced with the dense number of attacks. He relied on his Dynamic Vision passive skill to observe the direction of the attacks. Then, he relied on his high agility and Windrun to dodge all of the attacks. He arrived above the latter's back and stabbed his spear into the latter's back.
However, what Zhou Chen did not expect was that although he had avoided the fire cloud that coiled around the man's back when he stabbed with the spear, the fire cloud moved automatically to block his spear.
This fire cloud seemed to have substance. Not only did it block Zhou Chen's spear, but it also burned along the spearhead.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Seeing this, Zhou Chen immediately let go of the fire spear and relied on the Windrun skill to forcibly close the distance between them in the air, punching the man's head.
Unfortunately, the fire clouds around the man had already bought him time to react. He immediately lowered his body and punched upwards, his flaming fist meeting Zhou Chen's attack.
The next moment, the man's body shook and he spat out blood.
The Rebound passive skill was triggered.
Zhou Chen naturally would not let go of this opportunity. He exploited the chance and smashed his head with all his might, ending his life.
[You have killed a disciple of Fire Cloud Valley. Reward: Fire Cloud Fist]
[Fire Cloud Fist
Type: Low-grade cultivation technique
Once you are initiated in this cultivation technique, you will be able to awaken the true power of the fire attribute. At the partial mastery stage, you can reach the level of an expert. At the full mastery stage, you can reach the level of a master.]
While drinking a low-tier healing potion, Zhou Chen read the details of the reward.
"A cultivation technique book actually dropped. It seems to be the cultivation technique that this person used."
Zhou Chen immediately understood what the special drops in this world were. He could not help but be interested and quickly flipped through the book.
The suited man, who was hiding behind, also came over and looked at the book in Zhou Chen's hand.
"The drop was this book?"
He asked after some thought.
"Hmm, killing in this world might cause cultivation technique books to drop."
Zhou Chen did not hide it from him. In any case, he would find out sooner or later.
"If you're interested, go and kill the natives. Remember to find the stronger ones."
Zhou Chen saw that the suited man seemed to be interested in the cultivation technique book and suggested.
"No."
The suited man immediately shook his head.
"Making us hunt the natives is the system's scheme. Once we are engrossed in this, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold here. We won't be able to survive for 30 days. This is the system's trap. I'm going to walk the path of peace."
He expressed his opinion.
"That makes sense."
Zhou Chen felt that what he said was not completely unreasonable.
"Then let's split up. You will definitely be implicated if you move with me."
After saying that, Zhou Chen put away the cultivation technique book and searched the corpse on the ground for a silver ingot. Then, he divided the things in the cloth bag with the suited man, put away the spear that had been burnt black, and quickly left.
This was a necessary choice. Zhou Chen felt that the suited man was weak and would not be of much help. It was better for him to act alone.
'This cultivation technique book is marked as low-grade by the system, that means there are better quality ones. I have to think of a way to obtain better cultivation techniques.'
After confirming the drops in this world, Zhou Chen had a clear plan. That was to obtain a good cultivation technique and increase his strength.
He did not plan to cultivate this "Fire Cloud Fist" right away. An ordinary person would take about a month to be initiated in this cultivation technique. He would not have the time to find better ones if he started practicing it.
Zhou Chen quickly passed through the woods alone. After an hour, he arrived at an open plain. He saw a small village in the distance.
"I will go take a look."
He wanted to obtain some information or buy something in the village.
However, after nearing it, Zhou Chen smelled blood.
"There's no living person in this village?"
After getting closer, he realized that there was no living person in the village through the Bloodthirst passive skill.
"They were all slaughtered?"
Zhou Chen stepped into the village and found that all the villagers had been killed. Their deaths were very tragic. Most of the corpses were incomplete, and some were even bitten apart.
"This… is different from what I imagined."
Zhou Chen had originally thought that the people who had slaughtered this village were the people he had killed not long ago.. From the looks of it, the killer might not be human.
