Dawn breaks over the green mountains and forests…
To reach the upper reaches of the Bu Lu River, Duong and Hoai Bao had to cross more than 10 kilometers of mountain and forest roads. Hoai Bao also told Duong the reason why Hoai Bao had to flee to the Hai Van tunnel entrance, which was very far from Xuong Cuong, was because an Iron Wolf accidentally passed by and was parasitized by Xuong Cuong to hunt Hoai Bao.
This reminded Duong of an old story, also in a national forest, a little girl named Phong Linh Nhi was chased by wolves to Duong. Then the two met a seriously injured Hoai Bao, together they went on an adventure in the Pu Mat forest and fought against the Am Dao Association in the Oath Valley. It had been a year already…
The upper source of Bu Lu River is located on the northern slope of Bach Ma mountain range, a wild and dangerous area where few people set foot.
Near this area, there is a giant ancient tree nearly three hundred meters high that has stood for thousands of years, but strangely, very few people have seen or known of its existence. The reason is because there is a barrier that hides the tree’s presence. That is the wood spirit Xuong Cuong, a cruel god imprisoned by Kinh Duong Vuong.
After half a day of trekking through the forest and wading through streams, Duong and Hoai Bao finally arrived near the area where Xuong Cuong was being held. This place was surrounded by an indestructible barrier, but the trade-off for the indestructibility of this barrier was the possibility of being easily detected and unable to prevent outsiders from entering. As long as they entered the area inside the barrier, they would clearly see the existences hidden inside.
Of course, this barrier is only to limit curious children from messing around and accidentally breaking the Bone Madness’s restriction and causing a disaster.
Hoai Bao led Duong into the barrier. Inside was a flat, wild forest that looked no different from the outside. But looking up at the tiny patch of sky under the lush foliage, Duong could clearly see a giant tree that was as tall as a skyscraper in front of him, less than a kilometer away from where he was standing.
– Is that Xuong Cuong? – Duong was overwhelmed.
– That’s right! It’s his wooden form, as tall as the tallest tower in Saigon.
– Really? Cut it down!
Hoai Bao nodded, both of them walked towards the giant tree, unaware of a dark shadow appearing from afar.
In another direction in the barrier area, a young man with two bangs was bandaging a young man with spiky blond hair, both of them were around 20 years old.
The blond man was injured on one shoulder, gritting his teeth angrily:
– Damn! I didn’t expect it to be so strong. Wait until I recover and I’ll fight you again!
The guy with two bangs calmly said:
– You’re already getting hit unfairly, how long will you be a fool? Don’t forget we were sent here to scout, not to risk our lives.
– What the hell are you trying to probe? Just smash it to pieces and bring it back to Lam Thu for research, okay? – The blond guy grumbled.
Suddenly a gentle female voice said:
– Lei Zhen, Phong Du, are you guys arguing again? Here’s some hot news!
The young man with two bangs named Phong Du saw a beautiful girl wearing tight black clothes gently approaching, he said:
– Obsession, any news?
The Haunted Girl replied:
– When we walked around the edge of the barrier, we discovered two young men appeared, one in black, with Spirit Captain level 1 spiritual power…
The blond Lei Zhen curled his lips and interrupted:
– What’s so hot about just being a level 1 Spirit Captain? I can slap you to death!
Am Anh was used to Loi Chan’s attitude, so he continued speaking gently:
– But the remaining one is important, Colorless Fairy – Nguyen Hoai Bao.
– Are you sure? – Phong Du asked.
Obsession nodded:
– Definitely! He is very strong now, I can’t guess his level!
Hearing what Am Anh said, Loi Chan suddenly jumped up and said:
– Go!
– Where are you going? – Phong Du and Am Anh asked.
– Go kill him! I hate this bastard the most! Kill him and then let this country know who is worthy of being the Extraordinary Generation!
Phong Du said:
– Stop being stupid! Even An Anh can’t measure his level, are you going to pay with your life?
Lei Zhen replied:
– At most, he’s just a Colonel! If one can’t beat us, then three of us will fight together! Have you forgotten what we have?
Lei Zhen continued, proudly emphasizing each word:
– We are the seventh type of Dragon!
Phong Du suddenly thought of something:
– I know you want to kill him, but you should remember, he is a special target who is ordered to be captured alive if there is a chance. Instead of fighting blindly, why don’t you follow him to see what he is doing here, then plot to capture him, it’s not too late!
Obsession gently nodded:
– I agree with Phong Du’s idea!
