Chapter 21

Coming to the area where the big bird had fallen, Ji Qingfeng looked around and his eyes lit up.

"It was stuck on the tree."

After taking down the struggling bird and breaking its neck, Ji Qingfeng felt that it was inexplicably familiar.

"This seems to be a wild goose. I haven't eaten it yet, so I'll give it a try."

Carrying the wild goose, Ji Qingfeng looked for a place to start a fire. The vegetation in the forest was lush and it was easy to cause a fire if you were not careful. If you wanted to start a fire and barbecue, you had to find a suitable place.

"Hmm? There seems to be a sound of flowing water on the right."He stopped and listened carefully, then walked over.

After a while, Ji Qingfeng saw the trickling stream in the woods.

"There really is a water source."The stream was not deep and the water was clear. After hesitating for a while, Ji Qingfeng decided to go upstream to see if he could find the source.

As he went upstream, the stream gradually turned into a mountain spring. There were more rocks visible on both sides of the mountain spring. After walking up for a while, Ji Qingfeng found a place with relatively low terrain and spring water gushing out continuously.

"It looks like an artesian spring bubbling up from underground."

"I heard that groundwater is of better quality because it is less susceptible to pollution."

"But it doesn’t matter. Even if it’s not groundwater, I won’t die if I drink it. Let’s just find a place to make a fire nearby."

The artesian spring was surrounded by rocks that were estimated to be about ten meters high. If Ji Qingfeng wanted to make a fire, he could only choose the top of the rocks or a place a little downstream of the artesian spring.

Ji Qingfeng finally chose a place a little downstream to facilitate water collection. He didn't want to climb up and down all the time. After choosing a good place, collecting some dead leaves that were easy to start a fire, and piling some dry wood into a pile, Ji Qingfeng stretched out his fingers close to the fire.

Zi~crackling, the electric sparks flashing on his fingertips easily ignited the dead leaves. Ji Qingfeng blew a few quick breaths on the fire, and the flames burned.

After the fire was started, Ji Qingfeng pulled out the Sun Wheel Sword from his waist, cut open the goose's neck, and began to bleed it to the open space on the side. After the goose's blood was almost drained, Ji Qingfeng cut open the goose's belly, took out the internal organs and threw them aside, and took the goose to the spring to wash it. On the way back, he picked up a sturdy branch and strung the goose, and Ji Qingfeng sat by the fire and roasted the goose.

"It's still lacking salt and seasoning." Ji Qingfeng turned the wild goose over from time to time, muttering to himself with some regret.

After finding the source of water and food, Ji Qingfeng planned to spend the rest of the time nearby.

After eating the roasted wild goose, Ji Qingfeng curled his lips. It was indeed not very delicious without any seasoning. The blood seemed to have not been drained clean, and it was a bit fishy.

The mountain spring water was good, with a little sweetness.

The sun was setting, and after eating and drinking, Ji Qingfeng, who was leaning against a tree, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap.

The sound of running water beside his ears was like a lullaby, which made Ji Qingfeng fall asleep unconsciously.

As the sun set, the goddess of night raised her black cloak to cover the entire sky.

A green-skinned ghost walked out of the cave where he was hiding after nightfall and began to hunt.

"What, what's going on? Why is there such a powerful ghost?"

"Isn’t this an assessment?"

"Help, help, help!!!"

More than a dozen people surrounded the green-skinned ghost and hesitated, not daring to step forward, watching a companion who also came to participate in the assessment being brutally killed and eaten.

Perhaps it was because of insufficient strength, or perhaps the green-skinned ghost was too strong, the swordsmen who participated in the assessment swung their swords at it but had no effect at all.

Seeing the cruel scene of the green-skinned ghost eating, many people were scared out of their wits.

A swordsman wearing clothes similar to those of a ronin finally couldn't stand the pressure and became the first swordsman to escape.

His escape was like triggering a switch, and more than a dozen people immediately scattered.

"Run! Run! Where are you going?!"The fleeing swordsmen seemed to have touched the reverse scale of the green-skinned ghost, making it furious. The veins on the green-skinned ghost's forehead bulged, and his eyes were full of bloodshot as he chased after one of the swordsmen.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far away. Ji Qingfeng frowned in his sleep, and then opened his eyes with a cold look.

"I can't even sleep well." With his left hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, Ji Qingfeng slowly stood up and faced the direction where the footsteps came from.

""Ha~ha~ha~"

A figure staggered out of the woods, looking back with horror at the dark woods behind him.

Ah!!

Every scream behind him would make his body tremble, and then he would run forward faster.

""Help, help."

The man who rushed out of the woods called for help from a distance to Ji Qingfeng who was standing there.

As if he didn't hear it, he didn't make any response. Ji Qingfeng's eyes were red at this time, and his eyes were fixed on the figure chasing after the swordsman. The green-skinned ghost, the green-skinned ghost that tortured him for many days at the beginning of his journey

"Really! Enemies often meet on narrow roads!"Ji Qingfeng's teeth creaked, purple-black arcs of electricity kept bursting out of his body, and the whole person exuded an extremely terrifying momentum.

Similarly, the green-skinned ghost who rushed out of the woods chasing prey also saw Ji Qingfeng.

In an instant, the green-skinned ghost's eyes showed ecstasy, and he didn't care about the prey just now, but turned to walk towards Ji Qingfeng's position step by step.

"My dear, where have you been these days? I have been looking for you so hard."The green ghost's face was full of sick and hideous smiles.

"My baby, come here and let me see, have you lost weight recently?"

"If you are thin, you won’t taste good.!!!"

Bang, bang, bang."

The green-skinned ghost felt himself suddenly flying in the air before he finished speaking, and then fell on his back with a bang. The green-skinned ghost didn't know what was going on, but the swordsman who staggered to the side saw it clearly.

Just a moment ago, the swordsman who was originally standing under the tree suddenly disappeared, and then he saw that the green-skinned ghost, who was besieged by more than ten people but was unharmed, had all his limbs thrown up for some reason, and then the swordsman appeared behind the green-skinned ghost.

Cut off the green-skinned ghost's limbs in an instant?!

The green-skinned ghost on the ground had his eyes wide open, full of confusion, and it didn't understand why it was suddenly lying on the ground. The rustling sound of leaves being trampled sounded, and it stopped by the green-skinned ghost's ears from far to near, and then the green-skinned ghost's eyes reflected the gentle look of Ji Qingfeng.

Ji Qingfeng stood right above the green-skinned ghost, lowered his head slightly, looked at it with concern, and said softly."Look at you, what happened to you?"

"Are you hurt from the fall?"

The gentle voice echoed in the green ghost's ears, as if mocking it for being so weak.
