Chu Feng looked at the yellow ox, his eyes filled with a strange expression. He had thought that this guy would use some bizarre means, and he was prepared to be amazed, but who would have thought it would be like this!
"Are you sure it's that simple?" He was a bit skeptical. It was so crude, lacking in technical content. Would it really work? He felt that the yellow ox was unreliable.
The yellow ox was quite calm, writing a few very ugly and messy characters on the ground: "The great way is simple."
Chu Feng was speechless, completely at a loss for words. In the end, he really wanted to curse!
You just stomped with your hooves, so crude, it is indeed simple, but... can it be called the great way is simple!?
"On the ground, Zuo Jun was foaming at the mouth, muttering deliriously, 'My head is crushed by the mountain, I... am dying.'"
It was clear how much those two hooves had hurt him. His mind was confused, and even in his daze, he was shouting in pain, feeling his head was shattered.
"Is he okay? Will there be any aftereffects? If he doesn’t wake up, that would be a problem," Chu Feng was somewhat worried.
Earlier, he had doubted the yellow ox's methods, but now he was more concerned about the extent of Zuo Jun's injuries.
Because the yellow ox didn't know its own strength, and it wasn't a good thing. Who knew what consequences those two hooves would bring.
Just looking at Zuo Jun's condition, Chu Feng felt the pain.
Although Zuo Jun was unconscious, he was lying on the ground, convulsing, shivering uncontrollably, and couldn't stop.
"Is this what they call the wicked are punished by the wicked ox?" Chu Feng muttered. He searched Zuo Jun's body, looking for any unusual items.
Daggers, swords, all made of alloy, though extremely extraordinary, couldn't compare to the black short sword. There were also some food and other miscellaneous items.
Finally, Chu Feng took out a piece of animal skin from his chest. It didn't look old, and it seemed to have been recently drawn.
Paper maps are prone to damage, but animal skin is easier to preserve.
Especially for Zuo Jun, whose body could instantly mutate into a giant nearly three meters tall, surrounded by a yellowish mist, it was easy to damage items on his body.
The animal skin had been specially treated, making it very soft. It was neatly folded, and when unfolded, it was surprisingly large, covering a large area of the ground.
This was a partial map of Taishang Mountain, with annotations for hundreds of miles around, very detailed, and the mountains were clearly marked.
"Some of these mountains I haven't seen before."
Chu Feng's home was here, and he was naturally familiar with the Taihang Mountains. He speculated that it must have been recently drawn, including the newly emerged ancient mountains.
He showed a pleased expression; this map would be very useful to him.
He examined it carefully and found special markings on the animal skin map. Some areas were marked with black skulls, some mountains were annotated with the word "harvest," and others were circled in red ink.
The markings were not numerous but very prominent, drawing attention immediately. No need to think much; those places must be peculiar.
Leaving the animal skin map behind? Chu Feng thought about it but finally decided against it. He took out a piece of paper and, in a short time, copied the map.
"Let's get rid of this trouble early." Chu Feng carried Zuo Jun out and entered the nearby orchard, which was on the eastern edge of the town, rarely passed by, and very convenient.
With Chu Feng's current strength and speed, carrying a person and running was effortless. He ran for over twenty miles, through the forest, and threw Zuo Jun on a broken asphalt road.
Zuo Jun was still unconscious, unaware of his surroundings.
Chu Feng looked around; the road was flanked by wheat fields, far from the forest, and there were no wild animals. He turned and left.
The town was very quiet, as people were no longer panicked.
In recent days, some young people had started to look for a way out, carrying knives and other defensive tools, trying to move towards the county town and other directions.
They thought that the county town and provincial capital had more people and might be safer.
However, those who successfully entered the county town no longer thought so. There were two ancient mountains right next to the county town, towering into the clouds, too close.
Faintly visible were various fierce birds and beasts on the giant mountains, such as two-meter-long silver centipedes, like white snakes, all creatures retreated.
They had also seen a fiery red bird of prey carrying tigers and leopards as food, bloodstained.
Some had even seen a spider as big as a house weaving a web between two mountains, suddenly spitting silk to pull down a ten-meter-long giant bird from the sky, a scene of bloody brutality.
Many creatures that had never been seen before appeared on the mountains outside the county town.
How could this not be frightening?
Many people in the county town were fleeing, fearing the day those monsters would come down the mountain.
As for the city and provincial capital, it was said that things were no better, and even worse, like the arrival of ancient times, with vast forests and fierce beasts covering the land.
After a period of exploration, the young people of Qingyang Town were discouraged and retreated from the county town.
During this time, many people were very practical, mostly the older generation, starting to plant crops outside the town, hoping to be self-sufficient.
There were already fields, and now the area had increased tenfold, even if some were forests, the land had become much broader.
It was already late autumn, but the leaves were not yellow, and the grass was not withered, still full of vitality. The weather was getting warmer, like early summer again.
This formed a strange scene, such as in the east of Chu Feng's courtyard, some fruit trees still had red fruits, while others were beginning to bloom again.
The fragrance of fruit and flowers mixed, some trees were laden with fruit, while others were covered with petals, very beautiful.
Autumn had special significance for the people of this world.
Because a war had once occurred, almost destroying the land. During that time, the land was barren, food was scarce, and people struggled bitterly.
In the post-civilization era, everyone had to participate in the harvest of crops every autumn.
Later, even as conditions improved and prosperity returned, it gradually became a habit, and autumn became a significant holiday.
So, there were many people in the town now, such as students on holiday and workers on leave, returning from other cities. Now, some were organizing planting, and there was no shortage of labor.
Chu Feng glanced at the cold storage room; the food that was once piled high was now almost empty, mainly because the yellow ox ate too much.
"Now that all the large stores have been emptied, and supplies are scarce, I need to think of a way." Chu Feng decided to practice boxing first to ensure he could safely enter and exit the mountains.
Because he wanted to hunt some game. In this era where food might become a big problem, nothing could better supplement the body's needs than meat.
He practiced boxing in the courtyard, his movements powerful and fierce. The first form of the Bull Demon gradually took shape, and he was almost done. The power was mighty, occasionally producing a thunderous sound.
A layer of mysterious force covered his fists, capable of explosive power.
Chu Feng tried, and with one punch, he shattered a large green stone outside the courtyard gate.
"Is this still a human hand?" Chu Feng was stunned. The half-meter-high green stone cracked and shattered, how terrifying was this punch?
He carefully experienced it; the force was not the so-called internal energy from novels. It was more like a thin veil, enveloping his fist.
At the same time, he found that if he combined it with a strange breathing technique, the power would be greatly increased, even more terrifying.
Chu Feng vaguely guessed that the breathing technique must be very remarkable and mysterious, capable of further enhancing the extraordinary power of the boxing technique.
No wonder the yellow ox practiced it every morning and evening, more diligently than its own Bull Demon boxing.
In the morning, the golden sun rose, shining brightly.
Zuo Jun felt a severe headache, slowly waking up. A slight shake of his head made him feel as if his brain was about to burst.
He staggered, stood up, his face pale, eyes lifeless, very confused, and completely at a loss.
He looked down at his tattered clothes, had he been in a battle?
After a long time, he gradually recalled some things, muttering to himself, "The Mu family hinted that if I passed through Qingyang Town, I didn't have to really take care of it, I could teach that mortal a lesson."
Zuo Jun recalled that he should have gone to Qingyang Town, but why did he end up unconscious here, with no memory of what happened.
He felt as if his thoughts had been interrupted, his memory blurred, and he couldn't recall what happened afterward.
"Was I ambushed on the way?" He was suspicious.
In the end, he staggered, limping, heading towards Qingyang Town, muttering to himself, "Just a mortal, even if I'm in a bad state, I can easily crush him."
The sun was large and warm. Chu Feng's breathing rhythm was very special, inhaling and exhaling the morning light. After a long time, he completed today's breathing technique.
He just stood up and saw Zuo Jun, who was staggering, supporting the courtyard gate and walking in.
Chu Feng was stunned. Why did he come again?
The first thing that came to mind was that the yellow ox was unreliable and hadn't made this guy forget. Now he was coming to seek revenge.
"Ox King, this is your doing!" Chu Feng shouted.
"Just a mortal, don't shout and make a fuss in front of me, it's annoying!" Zuo Jun was disgusted, very impatient.
He was more direct than yesterday, unmasked, very impolite, because his headache was so severe, making him irritable.
Chu Feng was surprised, saying, "You really can't change your nature, have you forgotten the lesson?"
"Do you know me?" Zuo Jun was suspicious, but soon his face darkened, saying, "No matter what, you will suffer and be tormented. Some people you can never reach, even the people around her can easily crush you."
Chu Feng's expression was strange. He could confirm that Zuo Jun had indeed lost his memory but still remembered some earlier things, like coming here to cause trouble.
This was indeed a problem, and he was somewhat at a loss.
"My head hurts so much, what happened? Who ambushed me on the road?" Zuo Jun held his forehead, confused and angry, which made him even more irritable today.
"I feel like I've been kicked by a donkey, my head is aching." He muttered to himself.
Chu Feng heard this and wanted to laugh, saying, "You were indeed kicked by a donkey."
At this moment, the yellow ox just walked out of the room, hearing and seeing what was happening, and immediately put on a serious face.
Zuo Jun didn't notice the yellow ox, he sneered, staggered, and rushed towards Chu Feng, ready to attack.
Chu Feng gave a side kick, sending him flying and crashing into the courtyard wall. Then he turned to the yellow ox and asked, "What do we do? He still remembers coming here."
The yellow ox slowly used a hoof to point to the "simple" characters on the ground that hadn't been erased.
Then it walked towards Zuo Jun.
Zuo Jun was dazed, disoriented, and was actually kicked by a mortal? At this moment, he saw a golden calf with a look of disdain, slowly walking towards him, mocking him.
What was going on? Was this an illusion? He felt it was very unreal, a cow was mocking him? And it looked so strange, was this a dream?
This time, the yellow ox was still simple and crude, stomping on Zuo Jun's head four times, two more times than before.
Then it turned around, looking like a high-ranking sage, steady as a mountain, and slowly walked away.
Zuo Jun's face was full of shock, frozen in place. In the end, he seemed to disbelieve what he saw but could only roll his eyes and slowly fall down, kicking and convulsing, falling unconscious.
"Again, solved like this, will it be reliable this time?" Chu Feng was worried. If he threw Zuo Jun away again, would he still come back?
The yellow ox stretched its hooves twice, meaning that this time it kicked two more times, ensuring there would be no problem!
Chu Feng was speechless for a long time, finally couldn't hold back, and said, "Can't you change your method?"
The yellow ox didn't respond, very steady, pointing to four more characters on the ground, also left from yesterday, very ugly, saying: "The great way is simple."
Chu Feng was about to take a sip of water, almost choking, and with a puff, sprayed it all out.
