#137 - Chapter 23: The Three-Eyed Raven Appears
Since Liu Yuan recovered his strength, he had become somewhat arrogant, lacking the caution he possessed in his earlier years. This time, he received a small lesson, fortunately, his fire resistance was exceptionally effective, otherwise, he might have suffered minor injuries. The burnt clothes fell off, revealing his toned muscles and fair skin. He shook his arms, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite..." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared, leaving only a cloud of dust in his place. In the blink of an eye, he had already charged into the ranks of the Forest Children, his long sword piercing through the Sage's body. He forcefully pushed him backward, crashing him directly into a tree trunk. With a flurry of sword light, the green-skinned Sage was dismembered.
Liu Yuan took a pouch from his corpse. Inside were the stones that exploded earlier, densely engraved with tiny runes. They were about the size of tennis balls and had a metallic feel to them. There were two more in the bag, and with a flip of his left hand, he stored them in his space. Only an idiot would carry this thing into battle, what if the opponent had a means of detonating them remotely? Getting blown up again wouldn't hurt, but it's embarrassing.
The Forest Children, having reacted, howled and pounced on him. Liu Yuan swung his sword, deflecting the incoming wooden spears, and kicked one of them away, judging from the deformed face and protruding eyeballs, even if he wasn't dead, he was close. His right hand flicked his sword downwards, slicing across a person's neck. The sword spun around, blocking the incoming arrows, and with a turn and a sweep, another head flew off. The twenty-odd Forest Children couldn't do anything to him, and six had already fallen in a few breaths.
The 'Green People' were dumbfounded. They were actually just country farmers who joined this secret organization because of their beliefs. Ruhr was even more grateful, luckily he was cautious and didn't blindly participate. He knew something of the Forest Children's combat power, but now they were being slaughtered like chickens by that young man. If he came to kill his brothers, wouldn't it be like crushing bugs?
With a loud roar, the Forest Children who were besieging Liu Yuan quickly retreated. At this time, twelve corpses had already fallen beside Liu Yuan, and his body was splattered with a lot of green blood. Liu Yuan looked in the direction of the roar, a huge brown bear appeared in the forest. It was half again as large as an ordinary bear, and its eyes glowed with a crimson light. With another roar, the bear lowered its head and charged at Liu Yuan, its massive size making it seem unstoppable.
Liu Yuan smiled contemptuously, and thrust his long sword into the ground. He clenched his fists with both hands, one in front and one behind, like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, Eight Extremes Fist - Drawing Bow and Shooting Tiger Stance. He stared at the giant bear as it got closer and closer, then suddenly stepped out with his right foot, stomping heavily on the ground, Eight Extremes Fist - Stomping Foot. The saying goes: Shake the shoulders and knock down the sky, stomp the feet and鎮the nine continents. Relying on stomping the feet and exhaling to generate force can strengthen the foundation and aid the fist's momentum, like a cannonball, his right arm curved, Eight Extremes Fist - Single Sheep Top, also one of the most classic and lethal moves in Eight Extremes Fist.
Liu Yuan's elbow slammed heavily into the giant bear's brow, "Crack, crack..." The sound of bones breaking exploded loudly, and even the air rippled. The enormous bear was lifted off the ground, flipped high into the air, and then fell heavily behind Liu Yuan. It didn't even twitch, having been killed directly by that one blow.
Ruhr and his group were terrified. Such a big bear was solved with a single punch, even the heroes of ancient times were no more than that!
Liu Yuan grinned, "Use whatever means you have left! If you don't, then it's my turn." He took a few steps forward and drew his long sword.
The Forest Children were horrified, in just a short while, they had lost half of their people and their strongest guardian beast. Gray Vine shouted to Ruhr and the others: "Elder Ruhr, come and help us. The 'Green People' are allies with us, you shouldn't sit idly by."
Ruhr hesitated for a while, but in the end, he shook his head: "This is the trouble you guys caused, it has nothing to do with our 'Green People' organization." He simply turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind.
"You..."
"Have you guys discussed it? If you have, then come and die, Squirrel People." Liu Yuan interjected, approaching the Forest Children with his sword.
[Alas...] A long sigh echoed in everyone's hearts.
[Stop! The strong do not need the blood of the weak to adorn their bravery.]
"Hmph~! Acting mysterious, come out and say what you have to say." Liu Yuan knew the fish had been hooked.
Ruhr and the others knelt on one knee, respectfully saying: "Greetings, Prophet."
The Forest Children were also kneeling. A black crow flew from the sky. Liu Yuan noticed that the crow had a third eye on its forehead. The three-eyed crow circled twice and fluttered its wings, landing on the shoulder of a relatively thin Forest Child. The three eyes suddenly turned white, and the Forest Child stood up and walked towards Liu Yuan.
The Forest Child's golden eyes turned crimson red. He slowly opened his mouth, speaking in the Common Tongue of the continent: "Stop! Your conflict stems from a misunderstanding, too much blood has already been shed." It was like two people speaking at the same time, with the same emphasis.
Liu Yuan chuckled: "You can't beat me, so you say it's a misunderstanding, so why should I forgive you?"
Forest Child: "Young man, the Forest Children are not enemies of humanity. They have been silently guarding this world, enduring unknown sacrifices."
Liu Yuan sneered: "Just a sunset race, if they die out, it can only prove that they cannot adapt to the world. The human world should be guarded by humans themselves, I can't stand you self-sacrificing types, acting like everyone owes you. Who are you?"
"..." Liu Yuan's words left him speechless. "I am the last Green Prophet, the only agent of the old gods in the world. As for my name, it hasn't been mentioned in a long time. I've almost forgotten it, just call me Three-Eyed Crow!"
Liu Yuan: "Since you are asking for my forgiveness, what can you offer?"
Three-Eyed Crow: "I'm sorry, we followers of the old gods are very poor, and the Forest Children have nothing of value. But I can tell you the memories of this world, all the knowledge that has appeared."
Liu Yuan smiled: "Very good, I am very satisfied with this condition. And I want to add this..." He casually took out the explosive stone from before.
Three-Eyed Crow nodded: "This is a Blast Bead, a type of magical item. It requires magic to make, and currently only the Forest Children can make them, but the material costs are very expensive."
