#135 - Chapter 21: The Son of the Killing Forest (Part 2)

The Forest Child, who had been hiding behind the tree, had more than half of his body blown away, leaving only a mangled corpse to be thrown and fall.

Liu Yuan: "Heh, it seems I guessed right. It really is a Forest Child. They've actually existed for thousands of years."

"Bastard! I'll fight you!" The one whose body was intact grabbed a rock from the ground. He got up and lunged at Liu Yuan, but he was kicked back down after taking only two steps.

The one with the dislocated shoulder angrily rebuked, "Do you know what you've done? You actually killed a Forest Child! This will break the ancient covenant. Can you bear the consequences?"

Looking at the figures that kept appearing, there were eleven Forest Children in total. They had chestnut skin and large ears, and golden eyes that revealed nothing of their expressions, but the wooden spears held high in their hands displayed their hostility.

Liu Yuan didn't even turn his head, saying dismissively, "What consequences could there be? Do you think the Forest Children would dare to start a war with humans? Do you think this is still the Dawn Age? How many Forest Children can there be now? Five thousand? Three thousand? Or a thousand? Besides, this Forest Child attacked me first. Are they allowed to kill people, but I'm not allowed to fight back?"

"Tsk tsk~" These Forest Children are too ugly. Don't even mention elves; they're only slightly better-looking than orcs and goblins. But they do have some abilities. In the forest, Forest Children can merge their aura into the surrounding environment to achieve invisibility. Even with Liu Yuan's perception, he could only sense that someone was spying nearby, but he couldn't determine the direction or even the number of people.

When Liu Yuan grabbed that wooden spear earlier, he could feel the aura of spirit energy on it. Just like how he uses spirit energy to temper his body, the Forest Children also use their own abilities to constantly refine their weapons. The strength of the wooden spear is already comparable to steel.

The Forest Children communicated in a sharp tone, which Liu Yuan guessed was the Forest Children's unique original language. It is said that only Forest Children and certain mutant crows can make this kind of sound.

"Cough cough..." Liu Yuan cleared his throat and shouted, "U-dan-na-gan!" The Forest Children stopped communicating and all looked at him in confusion. Udan-na-gan is the giant's name for the Forest Children, meaning squirrel people.

"Was that cat you guys raised? Why did you attack me nine years ago? I was only a five- or six-year-old child back then." This time, he used the ancient language, which the Forest Children could all understand.

"You trespassed into the forbidden area, which outsiders are not allowed to enter. Now you have killed the Forest Child Greengrass. Your sins are heavy and you must accept punishment," the elder Forest Child said. With a wave of his hand, the wooden spear shot out, arriving in front of Liu Yuan almost instantly.

With a "clang," the longsword was drawn and held horizontally in front of him. The obsidian tip of the wooden spear sparked against the sword's body. The force of this attack was considerable, and it seemed to contain other powers as well.

The sound of air being torn apart came, and three more wooden spears were thrown. With a flick of his wrist, "swish, swish, swish," he slashed forward three times in a row. The longsword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, emitting several clear rings. The wooden spears were deflected. Liu Yuan leaped up, and as several more wooden spears shot at him, he stepped on them, using them as leverage to jump to the top of a ten-meter-tall tree.

The Forest Child in front of him didn't expect the enemy to reach him so easily. In a panic, he stabbed at him with the wooden spear in his hand. Liu Yuan grabbed the wooden shaft with his left hand, and his right hand swung the sword horizontally, and a head fell to the ground. Dark green blood splattered everywhere.

Liu Yuan dodged behind the tree, and several arrows were pinned to the tree trunk. The Forest Children also realized that throwing wooden spears was not very threatening to Liu Yuan, so they took out bows and arrows, which had a faster rate of fire.

Moreover, they left their previous positions, cooperating in groups of three. Just as three Forest Children shot the arrows in their hands, the one standing in the middle flew out. The other two looked back. That Forest Child had been pierced through the chest by a wooden spear and was nailed to the tree trunk behind him. He was not completely dead yet, and his eyes were filled with terror as he weakly pointed to the opposite side, green blood spilling from his mouth, unable to make a sound.

Before they could react, the sound of air being torn apart came from behind them. "Pfft!" A longsword pierced into the right person's neck, piercing through his body and exiting from under his ribs.

"Bang!" The one on the left was kicked out by Liu Yuan, unfortunately hitting him directly in the face. The Forest Child screamed and fell under the tree. There was no way around it; these Forest Children were only about 1.4 meters tall, so he could only aim for their upper body. Stepping on the corpse with his right foot, he slowly withdrew the longsword, shaking it to flick off the green blood.

The Forest Children were horrified. From the beginning of the fight until now, only a few breaths had passed, and that human had caused three deaths and one injury. Counting the previous one, they had already lost five companions.

The leading Forest Child's face was unsightly. He roared to the others, "Kechua, Beto, Leaves, you run quickly! You must notify everyone of the situation here. The rest of the brothers stay with me and buy time for the children. We must stop this human, even if it means death!" All the Forest Children scattered, running in different directions, while also turning around to shoot arrows to harass Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan jumped down from the big tree. The expected siege did not appear. Those Forest Children actually disappeared into the forest. The arrows that were shot proved that they had not run away. He walked towards the two humans. The guy with the dislocated shoulder was relatively unlucky; his right thigh was pierced by a wooden spear from who knows where. The other one was kicked unconscious by him. If this person's injury wasn't treated, he could die from blood loss alone. Liu Yuan reached out and reattached his arm, throwing him a roll of gauze: "Treat it yourself. As for whether you can survive, it's up to fate!" He had no interest in taking care of these people. In his perception, those Forest Children were still nearby.

Liu Yuan walked into the forest. Since the Forest Children dared to make the first move, then don't blame him for being ruthless. He chased for a while in the forest, stopping in front of a big tree, looking around at the surrounding environment. Right behind him, a pair of golden eyes opened on the tree trunk. A black object, like a branch, stretched out. It was an obsidian short sword slowly approaching the back of Liu Yuan's heart.

Suddenly, a dazzling silver light flashed. With a "clang," the Forest Child looked dazed, the obsidian short sword in his hand broken in two and falling to the ground. A line of blood extended from the top of his head downwards, and his entire body split into two pieces, separating to the left and right.

Liu Yuan couldn't help but sneer. This was the third one he had hunted down: "You're pretty good at hiding. If you don't reveal your killing intent, it's really hard to lock onto you." He raised his longsword and sniffed it gently. The Forest Child's green blood looked quite disgusting, but it didn't have the expected fishy smell. Instead, it had a pine-like fragrance, similar to the taste of birch sap in his memory.
