Chapter 17 Borderlands

  "So that's how it is! The hidden weapon is like this!" Qing Shui looked at the bird falling to the ground in the distance and slowly walked down.

  The green water surface is in the west, and the west is also the Qingjiazhuang front to hunt for the Qingmu forest. Because the trees on the edge of the Qingmu forest are all green-colored Qingmu trees, people here call this passage leading to the deep danger zone as Qingmu Forest!

  People from Qingjiazhuang, unless they go hunting in groups, those with strength below level 7 are not allowed to descend the western slope of this mountain. Even if they have a strength of level 7, they cannot go alone to Qingmulin!

  "I'll go down and take a look at that dead bird right away!" Qing Shui found an excuse for himself and slowly observed the surrounding environment!

  No suspicious situation was found, and they slowly walked towards the countryside!

  It's easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to come down, especially on this western side. I don't know if it's man-made or natural, from inside the slope is very gentle, but the slope leading to Qingmu Forest is almost vertical!

  It's not very high, Qing Shui is extremely confident in himself now, and besides, there are hardly any ferocious beasts in the Qing Mu Forest, after all it's near the outskirts of the Qing Village!

  Like an ape, agile and nimble, slipping down quietly!

  No wonder it's easy to go up the mountain but hard to come down. Qing Shui finally understood this saying this time. Although it was less than 200 meters, it took a good half an hour, whereas climbing up from below would only take a moment!

  The distance between the Qingmu forest and the foot of the mountain is about 100 meters. The green water can see that big bird landing on the edge of the Qingmu forest, looking around without finding anything unusual, slowly walking towards that dead big bird!

  The mountain breeze blows gently, without the scorching heat of summer or the biting chill of winter. It brings a sense of serenity and tranquility, making it an ideal resort, tourist destination, or retirement haven.

  Qīng Shuǐ didn't know much about this place, but the adults' warnings had been numerous. Just being here was a dangerous existence. Although Qīng Shuǐ hadn't discovered any suspicious situations yet, he still proceeded with caution, his heart harboring an inexplicable hope - hoping to encounter a wild beast so that the fierce power within him could be unleashed!

  The big bird was already dead and couldn't die again, its entire head had been pierced by stones. Qing Shui looked at the two stones still clutched in his hand, each one as big as an egg!

  Looking at his masterpiece, looking at such a large bird, Qing Shui didn't know what kind of bird it was. It looked similar to the eagles he knew, but much bigger. However, now it had been knocked down by him using stones. He felt a mix of emotions in his heart. If he were still the useless person from a few years ago, he would probably have been carried away by this large bird!

  Confidence comes from one's own strength. Qing Shui is now like this, and he is also full of infinite hope for the future. He seems to see a happy life in the future, the life he has been yearning for!

  Suddenly, Qing Shui felt as if he was being stared at, with a feeling of being peeped at. It's worth noting that breaking through the Second Layer of Heaven and reaching the peak of the Ancient Strengthening Technique made Qing Shui's spiritual sense extremely keen. Although Qing Shui didn't know where the person peeking at him was, he could roughly determine the direction and distance!

  "Behind a thirty-meter-tall green tree with a trunk as thick as two people!" That's all Qing Shui could sense, but he couldn't tell what kind of person or thing it was!

  Qīng Shuǐ was motionless, his hands half-clenched into fists. His spiritual sense tightly locked onto the green wooden tree behind him. Qīng Shuǐ didn't dare to make any sudden movements, knowing that if it were a wild beast, the 30-meter distance would be traversed in an instant. For now, he could only rely on his own strength, the two stones in his hand, and the Líng Jì Físt. What Qīng Shuǐ hoped for most was to resolve the situation with just the two stones. He didn't know why, but he had a feeling that this thing behind him wasn't going to be easy to deal with!

  Time was slowly slipping away, and the stone in Qing Shui's hand had already been moistened by his sweat. He knew he couldn't continue like this, or else his opponent would seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack!

  The sunset spilled down, and the trees cast dappled shadows on the ground. The clear water reflected her determination. She could see a shadow peeking out from behind the tree, it was the shadow of a beast's head, like that of a wolf, only slightly larger!

  Qingshui can guess that his own guesses are correct, only wolves can be so cunning and have such patience, and they are also masters of sneak attacks!

  Infuse strength throughout your body, and use Qing Shui to lure out your opponent!

  Whoosh!

  A stone of blue water infusing strength, one on the left hand, shoots towards the beast's head shadow on the ground!

  Bang! A cloud of dust rose up!

  But just then a huge shadow rushed out from behind the tree!
