The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 123 Monster Academy

At the entrance of the tree root tunnel, Wang Wu used his bear claws to sense the mysterious formation barrier.

He didn't know how this thing worked, nor had he seen with his own eyes how the young man controlled it. Now that he wanted to leave, it seemed he had no choice but to use force.

However, when he was about to take action, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from deep in the tree root tunnel, as if something had fallen.

Because a long section of this tree root tunnel goes vertically downward.

"Could it be the old cow and the little pig?"

Wang Wu was somewhat expectant, but he was not sure. A long time had passed, and he didn't know how the two of them had managed to survive.

Or is it the tree elf's search and rescue team?

With a thought, Wang Wu stepped to the side and leaned on the tree bark. After three seconds, he naturally entered the level 15 passive stealth.

However, he soon heard the screams of the little boar, like a pig being slaughtered. After so many days, he was so happy when he heard it again. It was really those two.

Wang Wu was very excited and didn't bother to hide. He immediately stood up and looked hard.

"I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry!"

At this time, the sounds coming from the tree root tunnel became clearer, and the heavy footsteps of the old cow could be clearly heard.

It is indeed them.

Haha, how did these two idiots find this place?
"Old Cow, Little Pig, I'm here!"

Wang Wu shouted with full energy, and the next moment the tree root tunnel suddenly became very quiet.

"Brother, are we hallucinating because of hunger? Is that the voice of the third brother?"

Rumble!
The old cow didn't say anything, but rushed out and slammed into the protective energy wall of the hidden formation. With a bang, the two of them flew out and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

My goodness, how come these two have become so thin?

The little boars have become as thin as miniature pigs, and although the old cow has not become smaller, its whole body is full of tall skeletons and its ribs can be counted one by one.

They were even too weak to get up, but their two pairs of eyes were warm, ecstatic, and shining!
It's just so miserable.

"Lao Niu, you two wait a moment, I'll be out soon!"

After saying that, Wang Wu hurriedly opened the package and pulled out the broken sword. This was the only way he could think of to destroy the magic circle.

"Wait a minute, Third Brother!"

The old cow suddenly cried out weakly, as soft as a mosquito. No wonder it, such a chatterbox, was silent. It turned out that it was too hungry to have any strength left.

As for why the little boar still had the energy to shout and scream, it was because it had been lying on the old cow's back.

"Third brother, this... this is a hidden protective formation deployed by the human cultivators. It is difficult to open from the outside, but - but it is easy from the inside."

Wang Wu was stunned when he heard this. Even the little boar was stunned. How could it not know?

The old cow rested for a while and whispered again:
"Although, I - I - only know the basics, but third brother, most formations require taking advantage of the situation and drawing a circle, so that the inside and outside are consistent and form a whole."

"Look for it. It's easy. Just destroy it and it will open."

Easy?
Wang Wu was confused, but he didn't bother to ask now, because the old cow was so weak that he was gasping for breath and his eyes were dim. "You must not die!"

He quickly turned back and inspected the internal area quickly, but in fact, after so long, he had already remembered the topography here clearly. Why didn't he easily find the key point of this formation?

This is a huge tree stump, or it may be the heart of the tree. The surface is very uneven, but no matter how you look at it, it looks very natural.

There is no other solution, we can only use the method of elimination and cut off all the protruding parts.

However, these protrusions are very hard, harder than rocks, and are almost the same material as the bark.

Even if Wang Wu took the sharp broken sword and had enough physical strength, it took him a long time to cut off one part. Just as he was about to continue cutting, he felt a flash of light and shadow in the surrounding space, and the defensive barrier of the formation had disappeared.

He was even confused. This was possible. It was really easy.

"Third brother, is there any food? We are almost starving to death!" the little boar screamed.

Wang Wu felt helpless as he had eaten up all the edible food.

I should have left some.

He hurried forward and picked up the old cow. The cow was so weak that it seemed like it could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"Lao Niu, why are you two so miserable? You shouldn't have been starved to this extent during this period of time, right?" "Hey, second brother, you don't know. If we don't move, not to mention your brother, even I can last for three months. But we are here to find you. We can only polish and temper the black iron pot day and night. We almost exhausted all our energy on it, and finally polished out a hole that allows us to get out."

"Actually, I'm better. It's mainly because my brother was holding a grudge and was determined to find you, and this is what happened."

So that's how it is. Wang Wu was a little touched. These two are so silly.

"You guys take a rest first. There is no food here. I will go out and get you something to eat."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The weak old cow seemed to have discovered something and stared ahead, where were the sawdust that Wang Wu had just chopped off.

"Good--good stuff!"

Wang Wu was stunned and quickly pulled over a small pile of wood chips, while Lao Niu already had a piece in his mouth.

The little pig immediately followed suit and also held a piece of sawdust in its mouth, but just looking at its confused little eyes, you could tell that it actually knew nothing.

Wang Wu also picked up a piece of sawdust out of curiosity, put it in his mouth and smacked it a few times, but he really felt nothing.

Should I swallow it?

No, this stuff is too hard, harder than stone. If I can't digest it and then get excreted, it would be such a painful experience.

So Wang Wu vomited it out with a "smack", and almost at the same time, he heard the little boar scream.

"Oh my god, what should I do? I ate this thing accidentally. I won't die from this, will I?"

It's really speechless.

Wang Wu could do nothing to help.

But at this moment, the old cow suddenly started chewing, raised its neck, and swallowed the wood chips with difficulty. It seemed that it gained some strength from this, and even its eyes became much brighter.

"Second brother, third brother, don't eat it. This is a sixth-grade tree heart. It is an excellent material for refining weapons when it is given to human cultivators. It is also excellent food for me. I didn't expect that after this disaster, I would have such an opportunity."

"Third brother, don't go out to look for food. It's winter now, and the mountains are covered with snow. We haven't obtained the identity of the Grass Demon Soldiers. If we go out, we will definitely be captured by the Snow Mountain Great Ape King and taken to the Death Camp. A big change is imminent, and we three brothers can't take care of anything else. Let's stay here first. When spring comes next year, we will migrate westward."

The old cow spoke very seriously. Wang Wu looked at it in surprise. It felt like in just one or two months, the old cow seemed to have changed into a different cow. It was no longer as frivolous and unfocused as before, but instead very steady and down-to-earth.

"Third brother, don't look at me in such surprise. I have lived for fifty years, relying on the love of my parents and the support of my sister and brother-in-law. I have been idle all day long, loving laziness and hating work. I really deserve to die. This time I have figured it out. I have to cheer up and stop wasting my time."

"No, what I mean is, Old Niu, how do you know so much? You talk about the formation and other things in a very clear and logical way!" Wang Wu said half-jokingly, because Old Niu really shocked him a little just now.

"Ha! That's nothing!" The old cow let out a breath and became visibly more energetic.

"Third brother, you are just a migrating, fallen little goblin without the protection of your family. You may not understand our heritage. Ever since tens of thousands of years ago, when the great sages of the four seas and eight wildernesses decided to learn from others in order to defeat them, the demon kings of various places in the Western Wilderness and the separatist demon clans have all attached great importance to the inheritance and learning of knowledge."

"Although I am the worst demon boy in the Demon Academy, I still know much more than you because of what I have seen and heard. Even your second brother studied in the Demon Academy for half a year."

"That's right, actually I didn't learn anything in those six months, but I should still be better than you, third brother."

"Yokai Academy? Where is it?"

Wang Wu was already numb from listening to it. Although it seemed so difficult to understand, learning from others in order to defeat them was not just empty talk.

"They are everywhere, but at different levels. The King of the South Mountain and the King of the North Mountain have the lowest level of monster academies. Any monster that has grown up can go in and study for free. On the Great Snow Mountain is the largest monster academy within a radius of ten thousand miles. I, your brother, was lucky enough to study there for three months, but was kicked out because I was so bad."

"Well, let's not talk about this. Third brother, how did you survive? Were you captured by human monks and kept here? What about the mountain cat and Third Master Rabbit?"

The old cow asked curiously at this time, and put a piece of sawdust in his mouth.

"It's a long story, and I still don't understand it. When I chased here, there were no human monks here. It seemed that the mountain cat and Mr. Rabbit had triggered some mechanism and died on the spot. I have relied on them to survive during this period. Oh, and there is also some ascetic nectar here. After eating it, it turns into this."

Wang Wu casually covered up the matter, not because he didn't trust these two idiots, but because the matter was serious and some secrets were better not disclosed.

"Hey, Third Brother, do you have any honey left? Give me a bite! I'm starving to death!"

As soon as the little boar heard about food, it started wailing again and threw itself into Wang Wu's arms to sniff around.

This guy is really starving.

"Second brother, don't mess around. I'll give you some spiritual energy." The old cow raised its hoof and pressed down the little boar's huge head. In an instant, golden spiritual energy fell down. This move was quite magical.

Then, the old cow turned around, looked at Wang Wu, and said happily:
"Third brother, congratulations on this opportunity. I think you are now as good as me. Great! It's time for the Three Heroes of Xishan to stand out. Next year, we will occupy a mountain and live the life of a king."
