Seeing that even his companions were dead, Shi Cong was frightened and angry. He raised his long bow in panic and aimed at Gu Chen.
Snap!
Gu Chen had been paying attention to him for a long time. As soon as he made a move, he slapped him as fast as lightning.
At such a close distance, it was difficult to use the bow and arrow, and the slap directly hit his cheek.
If the robe on his body hadn't emitted an aura to protect him again, Gu Chen could have slapped Shi Cong to death with just one palm.
Even though he was fine, he was suddenly stunned and dizzy. Gu Chen stepped forward and kicked him!
Bang.
The protective gas mask helped him block the attack again, but his body stumbled and he tumbled down the hillside.
Gu Chentu was up and down, but in the blink of an eye he chased after him again, fighting with fists and kicks without mercy!
Poor Shi Cong was just a pure archer, and once he got close, he didn't have much room to parry.
He originally thought that Gu Chen was also an archer and should be similar to him, but at this moment he clearly realized that it was not the case.
Waves of pain shot through his body, and Gu Chen's simple punches and kicks through the air mask caused great pain all over his body, as if his bones were about to fall apart.
"How dare you hit me, bastard..."
He cursed angrily, relying on the protective gas mask to be fine for the time being, and tried to draw his bow to fight back against Gu Chen.
Snap!
Gu Chen snatched the purple long bow from his hand with one backhand, making his face turn red.
"Give me back the bow!"
He said angrily, turned over his hand and took out several spiritual talismans from the storage ring, and threw them forward.
They were several yellow-level low-grade fire talismans that spontaneously ignited in the wind and turned into a large ball of fire, covering Gu Chen.
Gu Chen had an expressionless face, hooked his fingers, and used the five-finger fire catching technique. The fireball immediately flowed into his palm like hundreds of rivers into the sea, and condensed to a size of one foot.
Spirit talismans, a common item for monks, can combine the power of heaven and earth to exert certain magical powers, but the disadvantage is that they cannot be used like spells.
As soon as he took action, he controlled the fire, raised his palm, and the huge fireball fell on Shi Cong's head.
"ah--"
Shi Cong's robe continued to glow, protecting him, but the high temperature of the flames still burned him through the air mask, causing him to scream in pain.
"Suffer death!"
Gu Chen flipped his hand, and the Flame Gang Sword obtained from Qian Fengbao appeared in his hand, and the purple long bow was put into the storage ring.
Clang!
He slashed out with a knife, and the protective aura on Shi Cong's body shook unsteadily, obviously becoming weaker than before.
"Wait a minute, we have something to discuss!"
Feeling the crisis of life and death, Shi Cong finally panicked and rolled and crawled to escape, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Gu Chen followed behind, slashing with one knife after another, and the aura mask slowly weakened.
The Flame Gang Knife is a middle-grade yellow-level magic weapon. Gu Chen activated it with the Wind Yin Sword Technique, but was unable to break Shi Cong's defense immediately, indicating that the robe he was wearing was at least a high-grade yellow-level magic weapon.
"Chen Gu, leave him alone! Leave quickly!"
At this time, Xu Huahua suddenly said, his face full of fear, and he looked somewhere.
Gu Chen followed her gaze and saw that Granny Qianjue had killed all the enemies around her and was walking towards them.
Gu Chen's expression changed slightly. That old woman's strength was obvious to all. More than half of the people on the scene were killed by her. It would be bad if she was targeted!
In comparison, Shi Cong, who will only die if he fails to complete the task, is not worth the risk!
Bang!
Gu Chen slashed him away with a knife, and the wind wings emerged from his back, raising the breeze, and quickly flew high into the sky!
A glowing ribbon appeared under Xu Huahua's feet, and it also held her up to fly.
"Have you got everything?"
Gu Chen asked with concern.
"Got it."
Xu Huahua nodded, looking proud.
The thing Gu Chen wanted was snatched away by Shi Cong's companions along with the low-grade Xuan-level survival pill, so they decided to take action against them.
Relying on Xu Huahua's puppet to secretly control the situation, they took things by surprise, shot and attacked all of Shi Cong's companions, and successfully got the things!
The cooperation was flawless, and both of them successfully completed their tasks, even exceeding their quotas. They were both very happy at the moment.
Phew! Phew!
A rainbow flew from the distant sky and quickly fell towards the ruins of the black market auction hall.
"It should be reinforcements from the Whale Alliance. Fortunately, we evacuated quickly. Otherwise, both the old woman and the reinforcements would have been enough for us to drink."
Xu Huahua patted her chest with a look of joy on her face.
"It seems that there are not many people who can successfully pass the assessment."
Gu Chen shook his head, there were too many people killed and injured, most of them were killed by Granny Qian Jue.
A monk with perfect supernatural powers is really scary.
"The upstart is doomed now, if he dares to be rude to this girl."
Xu Huahua gloated about misfortune.
This little girl spends every penny. If Shi Cong hadn't offended her and got her attention, he might not have been defeated so completely.
"It's a pity that I only got his bow, not the arrows."
Gu Chen said regretfully that Shi Cong's bow and arrows were from a set. He snatched the bow but not the arrows in time.
"Come on, our gains are already quite big. Let's divide the spoils before going back to the heavenly examiners!"
The two fell into a mountain forest and hid themselves.
Xu Huahua turned his hand and took out eight storage rings.
"So many?" Gu Chen was a little surprised.
"My Earth Elemental Puppet took them all. Apart from you and me, it also grabbed the storage rings from several corpses."
"It's a pity. It's too dangerous to stay. Otherwise, the harvest may be greater."
Xu Huahua still has some regrets.
"Your puppets are indispensable. I only want my share, and the rest is yours."
Gu Chen said.
Because of Xu Huahua's help, he spent almost no effort on this assessment and did not want to take advantage of her.
"No, if we agree to cooperate, we should share the benefits. Besides, your archery skills are much better than I thought. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future. I will let you earn more this time, and you will pay me back next time.
."
The little girl was very generous and shared the spoils equally. Gu Chen didn't show any pretense after hearing this and did as she said.
Among the eight storage rings, the storage ring containing the beluga tooth fossil belongs to Xu Huahua, and the storage ring containing the Survival Pill and Gu Chen's target belongs to him.
The remaining items are divided equally according to their value.
The two quickly finished dividing the spoils and were very satisfied with each other.
"Submit the beluga whale's tooth fossil and the survival pill, and we will both be able to join the heaven, hee hee."
Xu Huahua smiled broadly. At this moment, she looked like a girl of her age, lively and cute.
"I'm not going to hand over the Survival Pill."
Gu Chen muttered.
"Huh? Do you plan to hand over the little black cauldron of unknown origin?"
Xu Huahua's eyes suddenly widened.
She was surprised when she heard that Gu Chen's target was such an inconspicuous auction item. She didn't expect him to be so persistent about it.
Gu Chen nodded. "Yes, I have confidence in that small tripod. Its value should not be low."
"In case it's not worth anything, don't forget to only take the top five in the assessment, so as not to capsize in the gutter." Xu Huahua reminded.
