This was not a forest devoid of humans. The Bone Eating tribe could not carry out a careful search, and the people of the Fragrant Flower clan would arrive very soon.
The Bone Eating shamans gathered over from everywhere. When they saw Goldie A’bao standing there perfectly still, they were afraid it was a scheme, approaching him closely. They were filled with bone-deep hatred towards the murderer of their tribesmen.
Goldie A’bao was filled with regret. Everything he had gone through during the one day and night was as bizarre as a dream. He had woken up now. As if he had returned to the previous evening, death pushed closer, and he was unable to fight back at all.
Suddenly, he understood what Li Qingshan meant by, “Since you’ve changed your mind, then let’s have everything return to their original trajectory!”
The original trajectory was him dying in the mouths of the Bone Eating tribe.
No, I don’t want to die!
Goldie A’bao howled inside. His eyes were completely blood-shot, becoming scarlet, and his consciousness gradually blurred. His heartbeat was as fast as a drum, like it wanted to burst out of his chest. His bones creaked, and his skin turned scarlet. He swelled up, actually growing another foot taller.
The colour of his skin varied before settling on an earthen-brown, coarse like the hides of the pack animals. Snake scales grew on his neck, goat horns sprouted from his head, and his nose became especially large, pushing apart his facial features. His body bore characteristics of various animals, even stranger and more twisted than the Bone Eating shamans.
“Chief, the basket is empty. The baby has vanished!” A Bone Eating shaman kicked the basket.
The Bone Eating chieftain frowned and asked, “Shaman priest, what’s going on?”
The Bone Eating shaman priest studied Goldie A’bao. “Looks like it’s the baby’s handiwork. What an impressive ability. The power in his body has lost control… Oh no! Kill him quick!”
A furious roar rose into the clouds, booming through the entire city.
Li Qingshan glanced back and said gently, “Since you like seeking death so much, then you can go die!” Afterwards, he continued on his way, flipping over wall after wall. His target was actually in the direction of the Fragrant Flower house.
Boom!
Goldie A’bao swung his huge hand and sent a Bone Eating shaman flying. He smashed through three walls, bleeding from all of his orifices. His body was completely twisted, and he was basically already dead.
Several Bone Eating shamans lunged over, ripping away with their claws and teeth. Goldie A’bao grabbed one and ripped him apart, scattering the place with blood. The smell of blood and the sense of pain added to his madness, making him swing his arms around crazily. In just a few movements, he ripped apart a number of Bone Eating shamans.
The Bone Eating shaman priest raised his staff. The two empty eye sockets of the shriveled head on the top spurted with black smoke, shooting towards Goldie A’bao’s back.
With a hiss, flesh and blood was eaten away, revealing bone.
Goldie A’bao’s howls became more and more hysterical. He completely ignored the wound on his back, lunging towards the Bone Eating shaman priest.
By touching him gently earlier, Li Qingshan had completely unleashed the potential in his body, turning him into a temporary monster of limitless strength that had no concept of death. However, once this period passed, it would not be as simple as losing lifespan. Instead, it would be certain death. With a cost like that, the power he erupted with would obviously be great.
Chapter 715: Going Into Hiding | Legend of the Great Sage
Goldie A’bao grabbed two Bone Eating shamans and swung them around madly like weapons. He constantly produced a meaningless howl and roar as the buildings collapsed loudly. Screams rose and fell.
Just like how even ten people would struggle to stop a man trying to throw his life away, the Bone Eating shamans in the surroundings were like a pack of wolves that had surrounded an enraged bear. Their sharp teeth and claws struggled to be of any use, and they could be killed in a single stroke if they were careless.
“All of you, back away! I’ll stop him!” the Bone Eating chieftain bellowed out. The thought that this was what he faced after a pursuit almost made him spew with flames out of fury.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
The urgent sound of gongs rang out from the city walls. The guards called out, “The Bone Eating barbarians are here! The Bone Eating barbarians are here!”
Countless people woke up from their sleep. The entire city was completely thrown into a state of alarm.
At this moment, Li Qingshan had already arrived in front of the Fragrant Flower house.
The house blazed with lantern light, filled with a noisy and confused commotion. With a bang, the gates swung open, and a group of people on horses rushed towards the fighting. In the lead was a furious, beautiful madam. Those behind her were all female too, both young girls and old women.
Li Qingshan heard Goldie A’bao mention that the Fragrant Flower clan was a matriarchy, so the leaders of the clan were all women too. This was very similar to the night roamers, and the reason was basically no different. The cultivation method passed down through the clan was more suited for women to practise. The powerful would be the ones to speak was obviously how the world worked!
The beautiful madam in the lead seemed to sense something. She looked back, casting her gaze into a gloomy alleyway, but she saw nothing at all. She could not be bothered with thinking too much about it. She said worriedly, “The Bone Eating tribe has actually infiltrated the city at night. Are they planning on declaring war?”
Li Qingshan had already leapt over the walls and entered the estate. His footsteps were gentle and silent, quickly crossing through the garden.
All the people in the estate had been mobilised, so the security became extremely lax. He made his way right into the courtyard and came across a steaming pool. There was spring shaped like a huge, fake mountain in the centre of the pool; the air in the surroundings wafted with a special fragrance.
The person who frequently bathes here must possess extremely great status in the Fragrant Flower clan. She might even be the woman I saw earlier!
However, he did not come here to indulge in women. Even if he wanted to, he was physically limited right now. He was choosing an appropriate place to hide, just in case the Bone Eating tribe and the Fragrant Flower tribe actually reached an agreement. Even if they carried out a full-scale search of the city, they definitely would not search this place.
According to his senses, there was a hollow space inside the fake mountain. He leapt into the hot spring and swum beneath the fake mountain, and sure enough, he found a tiny opening. The opening was the size of a ball, small enough to prevent any adult from entering. However, he was only a tiny baby around a foot long right now, so he entered through the hole with ease and reached the interior of the fake mountain. He let out a sigh of relief.
After the previous experience of washing up in a hot spring with Goldie A’bao, he felt like these hot springs were very nice. The underground rivers had been heated up and boiled by the flames of the earth, which was a manifestation of two types of powers of the world. It would be beneficial to his comprehension of the way to merge water and fire.
Of course, the most important reason was that it was comfortable in it. As he remained in the hot spring and steam surged about, he felt sleepy. He let out a yawn, leaned back on his arms, and laid down. He believed that no one could find him here. All he had to do was get some good sleep and wait for himself to grow. He closed his eyes slowly.
