Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 4 Bait
Deep in Jiming Mountain, it is dark and damp. Occasionally, some creature crawls over the dead leaves, making a rustling sound that makes people unconsciously tense.

It was at this time that a figure quietly appeared here. It was Jiang Chen. Compared to his previous indifference, Jiang Chen was now surrounded by traces of murderous aura. Although it was illusory and invisible to the naked eye, it really existed.

With this murderous aura of deterrence, ordinary ferocious creatures dare not approach Jiang Chen. In most cases, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble, showing a certain amount of strength is a very good method. This is true for humans and animals. This is the truth that Jiang Chen realized at the end of the world. The more ferocious you are, the more obedient the other party will tend to be.

It was by relying on this method that Jiang Chen successfully arrived at the depths of Jiming Mountain.

"Come out."

His eyes swept across, locking onto a certain place, and Jiang Chen spoke.

The next moment, a figure slid down from a big tree not far away. He was thin, with dark skin, a pair of small eyes that sparkled brightly, and extremely long arms, looking like a hairless monkey.

Seeing this figure, Jiang Chen's mind naturally emerged with memories related to him.

Skinny Monkey, Li Buqi, was weak and abandoned when he was young, and grew up eating at other people's homes. Later, he joined the Dangjiang Bandits and was valued by Jiang Wang and taken under his command. He practiced a kind of Monkey Fist and was extremely agile in the deep mountains and old forests. He was quite good at tracking and he had always been responsible for hunting white deer.

Of course, the name Skinny Monkey is only called by a few people who are familiar with him. In front of outsiders, he also has the nickname Gibbon.

"Meet the big boss."

After a few leaps, he came in front of Jiang Chen, clasped his hands together and saluted.

"Have you confirmed the White Deer's whereabouts?"

His eyes fell on the skinny monkey, and swept across his arms that looked abnormal, and Jiang Chen asked the most crucial question.

Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey immediately gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.

"Boss, we've roughly tracked down the white deer. It seems to have been startled and came from the south of the mountain. It has now settled in this area and won't leave anytime soon. Because it's alert by nature, I dare not pursue it rashly. I haven't been able to find its lair, but it often drinks water and takes a rest in the nearby river valley."

His voice was hoarse, and the skinny monkey's eyes dropped quietly. After not seeing him for a while, Jiang Chen made him feel more and more unfathomable. The murderous aura lingering around him made him instinctively frightened.

You have to know that he has been wandering in the mountains for a long time, dealing with all kinds of beasts in the mountains, and his perception of danger is very keen. Now Jiang Chen gives him the feeling of a tiger in human skin, ready to eat people.

After listening to the skinny monkey's story, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to the valley behind the dense forest and remained silent for a long time.

Looking at Jiang Chen like this, Shouhou didn't dare to disturb him at all.

"Do you think this is a coincidence or a conspiracy? The white deer is so hard to find. We've been searching for it for so long and still haven't found it. Suddenly, it came from somewhere else and was discovered by you, especially at this critical moment."

Retracting his gaze, Jiang Chen spoke again.

Hearing this, the skinny monkey's expression changed instantly. At this moment, he suddenly thought of something. Although his hunting skills were good among the Dangjiang bandits, he was far from being the best. The most important thing was that the boss intended to train a fourth boss, and his own boss and the old guy were both strong candidates.

"Big Boss, you mean the old hound?"

"Boss, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I would never dare to betray you."

His knees went weak and the skinny monkey fell to the ground. Having followed Jiang Wang for so long, he knew that although this big boss was usually a little indecisive and didn't like fighting with others, he would be ruthless when it came to killing people.

Looking at the skinny monkey, Jiang Chen's expression remained unchanged. "Get up, it's just a casual remark. I'm not sure if it's true or not."

"It doesn't matter whether there is a conspiracy or not. What matters is that Bai Lu is real."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen signaled the skinny monkey to stand up.

After hearing this, the skinny monkey looked at Jiang Chen, whose expression was as calm as ever, and hesitated for a moment, then slowly stood up.

"Boss, since there might be a plan, why don't we go back temporarily and make plans after gathering the men..."

In a low voice, Skinny Monkey offered his suggestion.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head again. He was determined to get the white deer. Even if it was really bait, it didn't matter, because the fisherman was too unskilled. He could just swallow the bait and then drag him into the water.

"Go back and contact Xiong Li, gather some people, and make preparations for the response. Leave the matters here to me."

Without much calculation, Jiang Chen made a decision. All plans were based on strength.

Hearing this, the skinny monkey couldn't help but look up at Jiang Chen. Seeing that his face was calm without any ripples, and he was obviously confident, he quickly lowered his head again.

"Got it, Boss. I'll contact Xiong Li right away."

Without hesitation, the skinny monkey immediately agreed.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded and without saying anything else, floated towards the river valley.

Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Shouhou's eyes couldn't help but move.

"I wonder how many lives it took to cultivate that terrifying murderous aura. It seems the leader had been hiding his abilities before, but now that he's showing them, it means he's confident."

"This is a good thing for me. If the big boss can become the big boss one day, maybe I, Skinny Monkey, can also become a big boss, hehe."

The skinny monkey was quick-witted and after a brief panic, he saw some possibilities in it.

After a moment, with a bit of ferocity and a bit of secret joy, the skinny monkey disappeared into the dense forest. Since someone might be fishing, he had to be careful on the way back. Fortunately, he was very confident about this.

Jiang Chen knew nothing about the skinny monkey's thoughts, or rather, he didn't care at all. He passed through the dense forest and after many twists and turns, he arrived at the edge of the valley and hid his body in a downwind place.

"But I don't know when the white deer will appear."

Jiang Chen smeared animal medicine all over his body, held the iron bow in his hand, and restrained his breath. He stood motionless, gazing at the valley like a stone statue.

The white deer is alert by nature and extremely fast. It is very sensitive to murderous intent and human presence. It is simply unrealistic to hunt it in the mountains. Only the best hunters can kill it. It is for this reason that Jiang Chen has no intention of asking the skinny monkey for help.

In this way, time passed slowly. When the sun turned orange and dyed the valley with a layer of twilight, a figure finally came into the valley with leisurely steps. Its fur was snow-white, without any other color, and moved with the wind. This was the white deer that Jiang Chen had been waiting for for a long time.

The signing process is already underway and should be approved soon.
