Chapter 13: The Lone Tyrant Lizard

  Du Fei alone, with prepared food and water, slowly entered the middle ring of the forest. Xiao Hei insisted on following him at first, but was eventually sent back by Du Fei. Now, Du Fei proceeded cautiously, observing every change around him. After crossing the outer circle surrounding the forest, he entered the middle ring. The number of wild beasts here was significantly less than in the outer ring, and the vegetation inside was denser and thicker. Few other animals were seen moving about, but this middle ring gave people a more oppressive feeling, darker and more ominous, with hidden dangers lurking everywhere.

  Du Fei walked for about an hour in the woods and felt a bit tired, so he found a relatively safe place to sit down and rest to replenish his energy. Du Fei felt a little nervous being alone in the forest, took out the Wordless Heavenly Book and spread it on his hand, whispering to the book: "Heavenly Book, are you there?"

  "What instructions do you have for me, big brother?" The book read.

  "Oh, nothing, I'm just bored in the forest by myself, so I came to find you to chat. How about it?" Du Fei looked at Tian Shu and replied to himself, his tense feeling suddenly reduced a bit, but his voice was still as small as a fly's wings flapping.

  "No problem, you're my big brother, would I dare have a problem?" Tian Shu wrote.

  "How come I sense a bit of sourness in your words? Don't hesitate to speak your mind if you have any opinions." Du Fei said with a threatening tone.

  "Big brother, I don't dare, I'm just worried about your safety." The font on the heavenly book changes.

  "What's there for me to worry about? I'm fine and talking to you, aren't I?" Du Fei questioned.

  "I'm worried that your current location is very dangerous. Are you inside the Primordial Beast Forest?" Shu asked.

  "Oh? How did you know that? I didn't tell you about my plan to enter the Yuan Beast Forest, and yet you knew exactly where I was. You even said I'm in danger. Care to explain?" Du Fei asked skeptically.

  "You're all my masters now, yet you don't understand me at all. What a failure!" The book read.

  "Hmph, you little scamp, you're quite arrogant, aren't you? I don't have time to bother with you now, so just honestly tell me what you know!" Du Fei rebuked in a low voice, his head constantly alertly scanning the surroundings.

  "Alright, big brother. As long as I acknowledge my master, I can share the same field of vision with him, see what he sees, and know what he's doing, as long as I'm on his body. Although I'm in a container, the container is still part of my master's body." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier!" Du Fei exclaimed in surprise.

  "You didn't ask me earlier, who made you so indifferent?" The font on the book became a bit distorted, as if venting out dissatisfaction.

  "Oh, so you're trying to get a rise out of me, huh? I didn't think you had that kind of personality. Whatever, whatever, no need to make a big deal about it. Since you've got nothing better to do, just give me a simple introduction to your main functions." Du Fei said with a smile.

  Actually, Du Fei didn't know that the Heavenly Book was originally extremely arrogant. Moreover, Du Fei's method of forcing it to talk by pulling its pants down and making it pee had ultimately forced the Heavenly Book to acknowledge him as its master. The Heavenly Book was already dissatisfied with this situation, and after giving Du Fei the secret manual for the Return to Origin stage, it became even more indifferent towards itself, not even understanding some of its own circumstances. Since its birth, the Heavenly Book had never been treated like this before, which is why it burst out in unprecedented dissatisfaction.

  "You still have a bit of conscience, my secret is simple. Apart from knowing the method, I am also an encyclopedia, as long as you want to know something, I can answer you, except for information related to the old master, everything else I know, I can answer you." The book reads.

  "Oh! You didn't think of this function, haha, okay, I'll try it out." Du Fei said excitedly: "Do you know what year and month I was born?" Du Fei looked at the heavenly book with some expectation, wondering if it was really as powerful as he had said.

  "It is unknown." The heavenly book said.

  "You scoundrel, dare to play me." Du Fei looked at Tian Shu with some disappointment.

  "It's not me playing you, it's you playing me. I've said before that I'm an encyclopedia, not a fool's book. Who has the mind to record your birthdate? All the things I know are knowledge that my previous master injected into me, which is different categories of learning, such as history, geography, various martial arts and techniques, and all sorts of yuan beast situations. However, my master created me thousands of years ago and injected me with information from thousands of years ago, so I only know things from thousands of years ago, not now." The words slowly appeared on the book.

  "That's all nonsense, thousands of years have passed and it's already a completely different world now. You're still a walking encyclopedia, I think you're really an idiot encyclopedia, not much difference." Du Fei said softly.

  "That's not necessarily true! Just like I know exactly where you are right now, and it's a very dangerous place." the book read.

  Du Fei saw the words on the book and raised an eyebrow, immediately looking around in all directions. Seeing that there was nothing unusual around him, he asked: "What do you mean by this?"

  "You, a Qi Yuan fifth level, dare to come to the central ring of this forest, do you think you're very powerful? You're now courting death. This forest is infamous throughout the Elemental Continent as a place of extreme danger. Generally, only those who have reached the Kong Yuan realm can enter alone, and even then with caution. A Qi Yuan realm like you running in here isn't courting death, what is it?"

  Du Fei felt a chill run down his spine as he read the words on the book, and involuntarily shrunk his head. He exclaimed: "This forest is so formidable, why didn't you say it earlier?"

  "This forest is called (Demon Mountain Range), the oldest and most mysterious mountain range on the continent, and also the one with the most Yuan beasts. The number of Yuan beasts in this mountain range is several times that of other mountain ranges. Sometimes, more powerful Yuan beasts will appear, and the central area of the forest is even more lawless, where Yuan beasts roam freely."

  "What's there to be afraid of? I made up my mind when I came in, I'm here now, being afraid won't do any good. You can stop intimidating me." Du Fei thought of his goal and couldn't help but summon the courage to say.

  Actually, Du Fei also knew the severity of this demon beast forest, but because Tianyuan said that the best way to cultivate is to fight and enlighten the Tao, that is, to understand the true principles through continuous battle, in order to quickly and effectively improve his strength. After Du Fei beat up those wild beasts on the outskirts of the forest and couldn't find anyone to practice with, he decided to enter here to continue cultivating.

  A faint rustling sound reached Du Fei's ears, and he instinctively became alert, sensing that something dangerous was approaching. He drew a long sword from his scabbard and gripped it tightly, leaning against a large tree to carefully observe the surroundings.

  A burst of white light came from the wordless heavenly book, Du Fei immediately opened the book and saw: "Be careful, I feel that it is a first-class beast, although it is not high-level, but if you are torn apart by it, there will be no big problem."

  Du Fei saw the words on the book were urgent and anxious. The "hissing" sound came again, Du Fei could hear it getting closer and closer to himself, holding a long sword in preparation for battle. Because Du Fei is now only at the Qi Yuan boundary, only when he reaches the Kong Yuan boundary can a Kong Yuan master control elemental battles, so for now, Du Fei can only rely on close combat.

  Du Fei stared intently at a nearby thicket, where there was a sudden commotion. A three-meter-long lizard suddenly darted out of the thicket, but this lizard was unlike any ordinary lizard - its head was unusually large, and on top of its head grew a single horn resembling a cow's horn. Du Fei had never seen such a strange lizard before, and he couldn't help but be shocked. He gripped his long sword tightly in his hand.

  The lizard stuck out its tongue with a "hiss" sound, and a pair of blood-red big eyes revealed a fierce light as if to eat people, staring at Du Fei. However, it didn't get close to Du Fei, and the two just confronted each other like this, the atmosphere was very tense.

  Du Fei felt a reaction from the wordless heavenly book in his storage ring, and carefully took it out. He glanced at the words on the book with the corner of his eye: "This guy is called (Dugu Yujiaolong), a low-level yuan beast, but for you, this guy can take your life, be careful, its single horn is its attacking sharp weapon, its skin is very hard, powerful and fast, attack it at the position of its butt." Seeing the words on the book, he was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that he had really encountered a yuan beast, and delighted that he knew the weakness of Dugu Yujiaolong.

  Du Fei was about to put the Wordless Heavenly Book into the container, but the Wordless Heavenly Book didn't want to go in and suddenly stuck to Du Fei's left hand like a small shield. Du Fei didn't think much of it and held his long sword, staring at the single-horned giant lizard.

  The giant lizard might have gotten impatient and launched the first attack. The horn shook back and forth several times before charging towards Du Fei, ramming into him with its horn. Du Fei was shocked: "This thing is pretty fast!" Luckily, Du Fei had been prepared earlier and dodged the lizard's deadly blow with a quick sideways flip. However, the lizard had used too much force, and its horn got stuck in the large tree behind Du Fei, unable to be pulled out. The lizard's body shook violently as it tried to dislodge its horn.

  Du Fei saw the giant lizard's horn stuck in the big tree and couldn't pull it out, so he grasped his long sword with both hands and hacked at the giant lizard's back. "Clang" - it was like hacking at a stone, and Du Fei felt a numbness spreading through his hand holding the sword. He looked at the giant lizard's back, but there was no significant change. Du Fei exclaimed in surprise: "This guy's back is really hard!"

  The Heavenly Book once again transmitted a white light, and Du Fei quickly opened it to read: "Take advantage of the situation and stab its anus." Du Fei immediately reacted, exploding into a sword stance with his sword tip pointing straight at the giant lizard's buttocks. Just as Du Fei's sword was about to pierce the giant lizard's buttocks, the giant lizard finally pulled its horns out from the tree, feeling threatened by Du Fei's attack. With a swing of its long tail, it blocked Du Fei's attack. The giant lizard turned around and looked at Du Fei, sticking out its tongue at him.

  Du Fei quickly retreated about ten meters away from the giant lizard, and when the giant lizard saw Du Fei retreating, it once again took the initiative to launch an attack on him.
