Douluo V: Ultimate Cthulhu

Zhao Wuji walked up to Gu Chen, ignored the others, and stopped Gu Chen directly.

"Gu Chen, come with me."

Everyone was surprised how Zhao Wuji knew Gu Chen, but they knew from his solemn expression that things might not be that simple.

Gu Chen also noticed something strange about Zao Wou-ki, he seemed to have something very urgent to find himself.

Gu Chen couldn't guess, and didn't try to guess, silently followed Zao Wou-ki to a forest.

Coming here, Gu Chen recognized where it was at a glance.

This is Andrew Forest, where he first met Xiao Jin.

"Teacher, what did you bring me here for?"

Gu Chen asked subconsciously.

"I'll take you to meet someone."

Zhao Wou-ki didn't think there was any surprise.

"Do you feel this place is very familiar?" Zhao Wuji, who was leading the way, asked abruptly.

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded seriously.

Indeed, it's not the first time he's here.

Before going back to the past, for a while, he and Zhu Zhuqing came here to train every day.

Suddenly, for a moment, I miss that time!

"Have you noticed any changes here?"

Gu Chen felt it carefully, "It's lifeless!"

"Yes, you're right! It's really dead here, because it's a cemetery!"

Gu Chen was shocked and looked at Zhao Wuji in disbelief.

"Don't be surprised, just follow me and you will know."

With his hands behind his back, Zhao Wou-ki walked forward without haste.

Although his steps are very firm, Gu Chen can see the unconcealable loneliness from his stalwart body.

Gu Chen followed him quietly towards the depths of the forest, the surrounding air was getting colder and colder, a hazy white mist rose, and the wind was blowing.

The sounds of insects and birds singing all around gradually disappeared.

The fog is getting thicker and darker, and the visibility is getting lower and lower, 5 meters, 4 meters, 3 meters, 2 meters.

When the visibility was only two people, an old woman's voice rang in Gu Chen's ear.

"You are here!"

The voice was dry and hoarse, filled with loneliness, loneliness, and mixed with unconcealable sadness.

Gu Chen fixed his eyes on the front.

Zao Wou-ki bowed and saluted: "Miss, I have brought him here, if you have anything to say, just tell him! I will step back first!"

"Yes!" The old woman's voice sounded again.

A hunchbacked, heart-wrenchingly thin old woman in black robe walked in front of Zao Wou-ki from the mist.

The crutch made of dead wood in his hand tapped lightly on the ground.

Zhao Wuji's figure disappeared out of thin air, leaving Gu Chen alone.

Gu Chen felt that the old woman in front of him seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it.

The old woman's face looks good, and she should be a rare beauty when she was young, but at this moment her hair is all white, her skin is dull, and her skin folds are piled up.

The body that was so thin that one couldn't bear to look directly at it seemed to fall down when the wind blows.

But he stood firmly in front of him, with deep reluctance in his cloudy eyes.

"I'm running out of time, and this may be the last time we see each other."

I owe you this life, after all, I can't repay it! "The old woman sighed sadly.

"Senior, what did you just say? What was the last time we met, what could not be repaid, did we know each other before?" Gu Chen looked at the old woman in puzzlement, and asked in bewilderment.

"Do you know him? Maybe you know him, maybe you don't know him! I'm not even sure if you are the one I'm looking for! But it doesn't matter! Everything has to be settled!

You keep this, it may be useful to you in the future. "

The old woman's words were full of sadness and desolation, as well as helplessness towards the world.

As soon as her words fell, a strange flower petal with cracks in the cloth surface slowly appeared in front of her.

It seems that as long as the wind blows at any time, it will be broken into countless pieces.

"This lotus petal has been with me for many years. It used to have nine petals, but now only this petal is left. Today I will give it to you, and you put it in the dantian to nourish it. It may save your life in the future. "

The petals floated slowly in front of Gu Chen, and Gu Chen stretched out his palm unconsciously.

This piece of petal seemed to be very attached to him, it danced around his palm gently, and slowly fell into his palm.

Gu Chen stared blankly at the petals in his hands. For some reason, he suddenly produced a kind of flowers that are not flowers, and fog that is not fog. It comes in the middle of the night and goes away in the morning.How long does it come like a spring dream, but the feeling of going like a cloud without a place to look for.

Very sad, but sad for some reason, probably because of this scarred petal.

When he woke up from this state, the old woman in front of him had disappeared.

And his body has appeared outside the Andrew Forest at some point.

The petal in his hand, after spinning around in the air, turned into light and shadow and sank into the dantian.

Gu Chen hurriedly checked his dantian, and found a petal lying quietly in his dantian, like a sleeping girl.

Gu Chen smiled slightly, "From now on, you can live here with peace of mind! As long as I don't die, this will be your home!"

The petal seemed to understand Gu Chen's words, it shook slightly, and lay peacefully in the dantian again.

Seeing the warm sun getting stronger and the morning mist in the Andrew Forest, Gu Chen felt as if he saw the sun through the clouds and mist.

"No matter what happens in the future, I, Gu Chen, will live bravely and happily,

Whoever wants to harm me or touch the people around me will definitely become the soul under my sword! "

He glanced at Zhao Wuji who was standing not far away, with his back turned to him.

Gu Chen walked over.

"Teacher, who is that senior?"

"Xiaochen! I can't tell you her identity for the time being. I can only tell you that her surname is Zhao."

"All right!"

"Don't think too much! As long as you work hard to improve your strength, all mysteries will be solved. Master will always be by your side!"

Zhao Wuji smiled and put his arms around Gu Chen's shoulders, and patted him.

"Okay, let's go back, you still have to take part in the assessment, and I will be responsible for the next level of assessment, I will not let the water go! Hahaha..."

Seeing Zao Wou-ki's smile that dispelled the haze, Gu Chen knew that he might have seen it in himself or somewhere, hope.

It's just that he doesn't know what this hope is, but it doesn't matter, as long as he is strong enough, all difficulties and fog will dissipate.

......

When Gu Chen and Zao Wou-ki returned to the academy, some young talents who had just lined up for the assessment had all left.

The eleven assessors, without exception, all failed in the second round of assessment.

Naturally, Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing and others were not included among these people.

There is a rule in Shrek Academy that if you are under 13 years old and your strength reaches level 25, you can go directly to the fourth level for the test, and you will officially become a student of Shrek Academy if you pass the test.
