Chapter 57 Bandits
Chapter 57 Bandits
Chen Ran ultimately failed to master the Iron Armor Technique.
The main issue is that the situation here is currently unclear and not safe. With the improvement of Iron Armor Skill, we don't know what kind of abnormalities might occur.
He took a step out, and the scene inside the cave appeared before him.
The cave was filled with the stench of blood, and in the very center of the cave stood a twisted, blood-red sunflower.
"Xue Kui?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ran's eyes. He hadn't expected to find something like this here.
Blood sunflower, which often grows in extremely shady places, is one of the main medicinal materials for Qi and Blood Powder.
Qi Xue San is a secret medicine that can double one's Qi and blood within 15 minutes.
"It's a pleasant surprise."
Blood sunflowers can hold anything; they're not picky about what they hold.
After putting the package in his pocket, Chen Ran looked around again and, finding nothing amiss, walked straight out.
At the entrance, a pile of scraps of meat was stacked up at the doorway.
"Brother, did Brother Chen make this?"
"Of course it's true! I was sent flying by that blood bear."
You didn't see it! Brother Chen, who's a full two and a half meters tall, smashed that blood bear to pieces with a single punch—it was just too cool!!!
As soon as Chen Ran arrived at the door, he heard Wu Heng vividly describing Chen Ran's heroic figure to Wu Nianchu.
"Alright, I'm not a three-blood warrior, I've just gotten a little stronger."
As the words became increasingly outrageous, Chen Ran stepped forward, his lips twitching slightly.
"Brother Chen, are you alright?"
Wu Nianchu stepped forward, her face flushed.
"It's alright, there's only one blood sunflower inside. Alright, everyone must be hungry, let's start a fire and cook."
Thanks to the fact that this is the territory of the Blood Bear, no beast or animal within a radius of several miles dares to approach this place.
The firelight flickered, and the temperature in the entire cave rose a bit.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
On a stone slab, the distinctive red meat of the blood bear was sizzling with oil.
The aroma of the roasted meat dispelled the smell of blood.
"tasty."
Blood bear meat is delicious, and except for the part near the gallbladder which is highly poisonous, the rest of the meat is edible.
Chen Ran and Wu Heng both enjoyed their meal immensely.
Wu Nianchu slowly took a bite and chewed it carefully.
She was just an ordinary person, and eating too much bear meat was bad for her health, so she only dared to eat a little bit.
The three ate slowly, exchanging glances in silence.
The blood bear was beaten to a pulp by Chen Ran, and the few that were found were quickly eaten clean.
As soon as they finished eating, Chen Ran and Wu Heng went to a corner to quickly refine the blood energy they had just absorbed from the blood bear.
Wu Nianchu took out some mats from the various packages and made a few makeshift beds next to the fire. While the fire was still warm, he covered himself with a blanket and lay down on them.
.........

"Shhh~"
The sound of the wind blowing through the bushes echoed outside.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"
At the cave entrance, a fierce wind howled, and the bonfire had long since burned out.
In the darkness, a ghostly eye appeared in Chen Ran's eyes.
"Boss, something's not right here."
"The hawk of the Black Warriors said the person is nearby, let's keep looking."
"Boss, there's a cave up ahead; it's the most secluded spot."
In the silent, dark forest, several voices could be clearly heard.
Chen Ran turned his head and saw a pair of blood-red eyes that looked like lanterns in the darkness.
"Wu Heng, Wu Heng."
Chen Ran frowned and called out to Wu Heng.
"What's wrong, Brother Chen?"
With bloodshot eyes, Wu Heng asked with some confusion.
"Someone's coming outside. Wake your sister up; there might be a fierce battle soon."
Upon hearing Chen Ran's order, Wu Heng immediately complied.
Wu Nianchu rubbed her sleepy eyes and was about to ask a question when Wu Heng covered her mouth.
He gestured for Wu Nianchu to be quiet.
Wu Nianchu understood immediately and nodded obediently.
Upon reaching the cave entrance, the Ghost Eyes opened wide, and dozens of figures appeared in the quiet, dark forest.
"The bandits of Matou Mountain? What are these people doing here?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Ran's eyes when he saw the other person's clothes.
"It tastes like meat!!!"
"Those people are right here!!!"
"Drag this idiot out and beat him up. Making such a commotion just lets them know we're here. Fine, since we've been discovered, let's kill both of them, they're only two level-two heroes."
The leader slammed the man who had just spoken down hard on the head.
With a swift and careful horse, it headed towards the cave where Chen Ran was located.
In just a moment, Chen Ran rushed to the cave entrance.
"Divine Form Step."
Chen Ran clenched his fists, and a terrifying force surged forth.
"Um?!!!"
"Bang!!!"
With a plan in mind but no one on their own, Wanlilang was suddenly sent flying by Chen Ran.
"You're a second-tier blood, and I'm a second-tier blood too. I... Holy shit!!"
"puff!!!"
Wanli Lang wanted to show off a bit more, but when he felt the weakness coming from his arm, his eyes widened.
Just as Chen Ran was preparing to launch a full-scale attack.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!"
The sound of arrows piercing the air could be heard.
next moment.
"Bang bang bang bang!!!"
Arrows pierced the ground, creating large holes.
Chen Ran's pupils contracted sharply.
Without the slightest hesitation.
The barbarians are activated.
"Bang!!!"
An arrow struck Chen Ran squarely in the face, sending him flying instantly.
He stood still, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the wound.
"You actually managed to block the armor-piercing bow? Looks like you've mastered a body-strengthening technique. Too bad, you're going to die here today."
"Boss, stop talking, you're already foaming at the mouth."
"Couldn't you wait until I'm done showing off?"
After saying that, Wanlilang foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Seeing that their leader had fainted, the group quickly helped him up, watching Chen Ran's location warily, and slowly led their leader into the dense forest.
Chen Ran stood still, not daring to be careless, and looked into the depths of the dense forest.
The armor-piercing arrows we just saw were fired from those areas.
Through his ghostly eyes, Chen Ran could clearly see that the dozen or so people were constantly changing positions, while Wan Lilang and his group were moving closer to them.
"Two or more armor-piercing bows can completely break through the barbarian hide's defenses; three are enough to severely injure me. I can't fight them head-on."
With the Divine Form Step activated, Chen Ran disappeared at the cave entrance.
"Sizzle sizzle~"
Apart from the sound of the waves being dragged along, the dense forest returned to silence, a silence tinged with a sense of impending doom.

"Brother Chen, you're injured? Come here quickly, let me bandage you up."
Seeing blood flowing down Chen Ran's face, Wu Nianchu immediately felt sorry for him and stepped forward to bandage him.
"Need not."
Chen Ran declined Wu Nianchu's offer and said to Wu Heng.
"There are bandits outside, and they have armor-piercing arrows."
"What?! Armor-piercing arrows?! This thing is a forbidden item, just like armor."
Once discovered, the spirit will be mobilized, and the entire family will be exterminated.
How did these bandits get these things?!
"I don't know if taking all the flesh from your bodies will allow us to escape; it all depends on whether I can break through my current limitations."
Chen Ran's tone was serious.
