"Ah... a snake, an eight-headed monster snake, save me!"
"A silver centipede, oh my God, it's two meters long, it's chasing me, save me, Chu Feng, you bastard, is this what you call a gentle place? Get me some bug killer!"
"Here it comes again, a black tiger, one swipe and it can shatter a thousand-pound boulder, ah... I can't run anymore, Bull Demon King, save me, Chu Feng, save me!"
On this day, Zhou Quan howled like a ghost, fleeing for his life, so exhausted that he was foaming at the mouth and almost convulsing, both frightened and terrified.
Finally, it was noon, and the yellow ox was hungry and needed to eat, so they ended this ordeal.
At this moment, Zhou Quan was almost in tears, feeling incredibly happy that it was finally over.
His voice was hoarse; for most of the day, he was either screaming and fleeing or spewing fire from his mouth to fight against the giant beasts, his throat was swollen.
"Brother, you're too cruel. Not only are my heart, liver, and lungs trembling, but even my soul is shivering!" Zhou Quan sat on the ground, panting heavily.
Looking back, the vast mountains were shrouded in miasma, with beast roars echoing everywhere. He really didn't want to go back in. Today's experience was truly unforgettable and would be etched in his memory for life.
"Do you know why I can deal with fierce birds and giant beasts? It's because I come here every day to hone my skills, and gradually adapt to it." Chu Feng consoled him.
"Can I compare to you? One punch from you can shatter thousands of pounds of boulders, and you can bring down a giant bird over ten meters long. You yourself are a monster, I can't survive here." Zhou Quan shouted.
"You are a special person, the flames you spew can burn gold and melt stone, with great power. As long as you can fully control them, you should be able to walk through the mountains without any problems." Chu Feng said.
He believed that as a special person, Zhou Quan's abilities could be improved, but he needed to constantly hone them to force out the hidden strength in his body.
At the same time, since Zhou Quan had grown bull horns, perhaps the fruit he ate was related to the Bull Demon Clan. He could have the yellow ox teach him a few moves to save his life.
Chu Feng was very serious, expressing his concerns about the future. The world was still undergoing changes, and the monsters in the mountains might one day break out.
Moreover, who knew what other terrifying things might happen.
In this critical period, only by improving themselves could they possibly survive in the future.
Seeing how serious he was, Zhou Quan was deflated. In this world, who didn't have a deep sense of crisis? The world was becoming increasingly incomprehensible, and many people had hidden worries.
"Brother, I know you're doing this for me. You're right, I'll do my best!" Zhou Quan made up his mind.
In the mountains, the two men and the ox sat together by the fire. The legs of a fierce bird were roasted to a golden, oily shine, emitting a tempting aroma, and the fat dripped onto the fire, sizzling.
"How can it be so fragrant?" Zhou Quan forgot his earlier suffering, looking at the golden meat, unable to resist the saliva in his mouth, especially after a long day of exertion, he felt even more hungry.
Chu Feng sprinkled salt and coated it with a layer of honey, making the bird's leg even more fragrant, and he himself was also tempted.
The two men and the ox started eating, competing for the delicious food.
In an instant, the place was filled with the sounds of chewing and swallowing, and they all devoured the food like wolves.
"Heaven, it's amazing, I've never eaten such fresh and fragrant wild game. This meat is truly incredible, you can't get this outside!" Zhou Quan exclaimed.
This wasn't an exaggeration; the meat of certain fierce birds and strange beasts was surprisingly delicious, and with a little processing, it was very tasty, with a rich aroma that could last for a long time.
A large bird's leg was gnawed clean by them. If their stomachs weren't already full, they would have roasted the other leg as well.
"Too satisfying, this taste, hmm, it surpasses a feast of the gods. Just for these delicious foods, I'll come back in the future!" Zhou Quan was extremely satisfied, lying there, patting his bulging belly, as if he had forgotten his earlier miserable state.
Chu Feng and the yellow ox were eating a type of bright red berry, which melted in the mouth, with a sweet and fragrant taste, a rare delicacy.
For several days, they had been eating various berries as vegetables, and they found them quite delicious.
Zhou Quan tried one and immediately started grabbing, even though his stomach was already full, he was still forcing himself, and shouting that this place would truly be his "gentle place" in the future.
The yellow ox, upon hearing this, immediately sneered and took out a communicator, tapping furiously, showing him several photos taken earlier.
Zhou Quan saw them and was furious.
"Bull Demon King, you dared to take photos of me, not capturing my heroic and mighty moments, but deliberately humiliating me?" He was indignant, shouting.
The photos each had their own characteristics. Chu Feng glanced at them and burst out laughing.
In one photo, Zhou Quan's eyes were rolled back in fear, almost fainting. In another, he was in tears, fleeing with his head down. In another, his pupils were wide open, scared to the point of wetting himself...
Just those few photos were "classic," each one hitting Zhou Quan's heart.
"Wait!" Suddenly, Zhou Quan's face changed, and he exclaimed, "That's... the Embarrassing Moments Network, did you post them there!?"
The yellow ox nodded proudly, meaning that posting a few photos was too easy!
Zhou Quan almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What was the Embarrassing Moments Network? As the name suggested, it was a platform for sharing embarrassing photos, with a huge number of visitors every day.
It could be said that as long as the photos were somewhat interesting, they would spread quickly.
Zhou Quan was immediately alarmed and shouted, "Bull Demon King, I'll fight you to the death!"
As a result, the yellow ox kicked him aside with a hoof, finding it incomprehensible. It was just posting a few photos, why was he so agitated? Too impulsive, not capable of achieving great things.
"Bull Demon King, you're bullying me!" Zhou Quan stomped his feet, truly enraged.
"Don't worry, that place gets a large number of new photos every day, and many of them are buried without even a chance to surface." Chu Feng consoled him.
This gave Zhou Quan some comfort, and he felt a bit relieved.
He moved closer to the yellow ox and looked at the number of views, and the result... his blood pressure skyrocketed, his vision went black, and he almost fell to the ground.
In such a short time, the views had already reached nearly 100,000!
"Bull Demon King, I'll kill you!"
Zhou Quan howled, his face turning green.
"Growing so fast, the views have officially surpassed 100,000, making it a truly popular photo." Chu Feng commented.
"Heaven, who can save me!" Zhou Quan clutched his head, feeling overwhelmed. He had a premonition that these photos might bring him to the attention of the entire country.
But it wouldn't be for something good, because this was the Embarrassing Moments Network.
"Bull Demon King, you did this!" Zhou Quan charged at the yellow ox again, trying to wrestle with it.
Clearly, he was no match, and was easily overpowered.
"Dead ox, what are you laughing about? Doing something that angers both gods and humans, don't you have any sense of shame?" Zhou Quan shouted in anger.
The yellow ox ignored him, staring at the screen, enjoying the comments under the photos.
Zhou Quan glanced at them, and the comments had already surpassed 10,000, making his blood pressure soar again.
"These photos, when viewed individually, are just okay, but put together, they form a set of top-notch expression photos. Look, there's one with extreme terror, one with tears streaming down, and one with panic and wetting oneself... put together, they're truly a masterpiece!"
"Exactly, they can be popular for over a year. I need to download a set!"
"This guy is so funny, what era is it, and he still has a big pompadour."
"Thanks to the OP, already collected, added to my expression pack."
Zhou Quan snatched the communicator, his fighting spirit surging, and started typing furiously, battling with those who left comments!
Chu Feng watched, speechless.
"Where are the moderators? Delete these photos for me!"
Zhou Quan angrily left a message, complaining and trying to find the moderators to delete the photos.
At the same time, he complained about the commenters, as he was being attacked by a group of people in the comments.
The moderator quickly replied: "Sorry, your complaint request has failed. These photos have been recognized by over 99% of users and will be pinned to the top of the entire site for a month."
Zhou Quan really couldn't hold back his urge to spit blood. Not only did the request to delete the photos fail, but they were also going to be pinned for a month! What kind of bastard moderator was this? He cursed loudly.
"Ha ha..." Chu Feng couldn't help but laugh, unable to stop.
As for the culprit, the yellow ox, it was floating in a daze, enjoying the praise from countless commenters, all of whom were expressing their approval.
"Great OP, please accept my knees, thank you so much!"
"Amazing photos, OP is a genius!"
Zhou Quan saw the yellow ox floating in a daze, accepting worship and praise, and couldn't bear it. His blood pressure soared to the danger zone, and he was about to throw the communicator.
The yellow ox, quick on its hooves and sharp-eyed, snatched it away.
"Still okay!" Chu Feng carefully examined the photos and made this evaluation.
In this moment of despair, Zhou Quan felt like he had found a stream of clear water in the desert, a bit of comfort. He asked nervously, "Do you mean these photos aren't that embarrassing?"
"Very embarrassing. I just think that since the monsters chasing you weren't captured in the photos, and nothing was leaked, it's still okay!" Chu Feng replied.
Zhou Quan turned his head and ignored him.
Not long after, Zhou Quan's communicator rang, someone was looking for him.
"Big cousin, you're so talented, those amazing photos have gone viral."
When these words came, Zhou Quan was so angry that he wanted to throw the communicator, but realized it was his own, so he ended the call angrily.
But then, someone else called him, this time his second cousin. As soon as he answered, he heard a loud voice: "Cousin, I admire you so much, you're so talented!"
"Talented my ass, get lost!" Zhou Quan was furious.
Then, the communicator rang one after another, with many acquaintances looking for him.
Zhou Quan was completely out of temper, turned off the communicator, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
