Chapter 58 Chen Gugu's Promotion
Chen Zhou nodded, walked to Wang Jinxi, squatted down, and carefully checked his condition.

"You've been poisoned, and the poison has begun to spread."

Chen Zhou frowned, his tone solemn.

Wang Jinxi gave a bitter laugh and said helplessly, "Yes, the poison of the human-faced demon spider is no joke. I feel weak all over and my soul power is constantly draining away. I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer."

Chen Zhou didn't say much, but looked at Wang Jinxi quietly, as if he could see what he wanted to say.

"I've misunderstood you all along. I thought you were a cold-blooded and heartless guy."

"Thank you so much this time."

Looking at Wang Jinxi's pale face and sincere eyes, Chen Zhou was slightly stunned, and then a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't say much, just nodded slightly, accepting Wang Jinxi's thanks.

"Let's go, you should be able to gain more from the Spirit Ascension Platform this time."

"Don't worry about me, I can use the distress signaler myself."

Wang Jinxi touched his nose and smiled. He knew he was no longer fit to continue fighting. Staying on the Spirit Ascension Platform would only become a burden to Chenzhou. Rather than that, it would be better to withdraw voluntarily; at least he could retain some dignity.

Chen Zhou did not stop him, but just nodded, then stood up and looked around again.

"Cuckoo~"

Chen Gugu flew to Chen Zhou's shoulder and gently rubbed his cheek, as if to comfort him. Chen Zhou smiled slightly, reached out and touched Chen Gugu's head, and whispered: "Let's go, Feigu, let's continue."

Wang Jinxi watched Chen Zhou's departing figure, his heart awash with mixed emotions. He had never imagined that he would one day develop such complex feelings towards Chen Zhou. The hostility and misunderstandings he once had seemed to vanish in that moment, replaced by an indescribable admiration and gratitude.

"Chen Zhou, what kind of person are you?"

Wang Jinxi murmured softly, then pulled out a distress signal device from his pocket and pressed it without hesitation. With a flash of light, his figure gradually disappeared from the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Meanwhile, Chen Zhou and Chen Gugu continued their journey through the forest. His steps were steady and resolute, his gaze sharp, constantly alert to the surroundings. Chen Gugu, on the other hand, stood firmly on his shoulders, her large, round eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, as if on guard for him.

This forest is silent and deep, with unknown dangers lurking in every corner. Chen Zhou knows that the real challenge has just begun. The Wood Wolf and the Man-Faced Demon Spider he encountered are just the tip of the iceberg in this forest. Even more powerful spirit beasts lurk in the shadows, waiting for their prey.

"Cuckoo~"

Chen Gugu suddenly let out a low cry and fluttered his wings slightly, as if he had noticed something unusual. Chen Zhou immediately stopped and looked in the direction Chen Gugu was looking. Suddenly, he saw a rustling sound coming from the bushes ahead.

Then, a massive figure slowly emerged from the bushes. It was a massive soul beast, covered in thick scales and powerful limbs. Every step it took caused the ground to tremble slightly. It had a pair of sharp horns on its head, and its eyes gleamed with a ferocious glint, clearly an extremely powerful soul beast.

"Ironclad Rhino?"

Chen Zhou frowned slightly, recognizing the origin of this soul beast. The Ironclad Rhino was a soul beast with extremely strong defenses. Although it was slow, its strength and defense were among the best soul beasts of its level. Even a hundred-year-old Ironclad Rhino was enough to intimidate most soul masters.

Chen Zhou didn't rush into action, instead calmly observing the armored rhinoceros's every move. He knew that facing such a defensive spirit beast, a rash attack would only waste his spirit energy. He needed to find its weakness and strike a fatal blow. The armored rhinoceros seemed to sense Chen Zhou's presence. It let out a deep roar and slowly approached him. Though its pace was slow, each step carried a powerful sense of oppression, like a moving mountain.

"Cuckoo!"

Chen Gugu let out a crisp cry, and suddenly spread his wings, creating a powerful whirlwind that swept towards the armored rhinoceros. Wind blades carved sharp paths through the air, heading straight for the armored rhinoceros.

However, the armored rhinoceros did not dodge, but instead faced the wind blade directly. The wind blade struck its scales, making a "ding-dong" sound, but was unable to cause any substantial damage to it.

"Sure enough, the wind blade has no effect on it."

Chen Zhou pondered this inwardly, then quickly adjusted his strategy. He raised his right hand, and the primordial energy amethyst hovered in his palm, emitting a faint glow.

"Refine!"

“Draw a forest on the ground!”

Following Chen Zhou's low shout, the ground suddenly shook violently. Then, sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, forming like a dense forest beneath the armored rhinoceros's feet. These spikes were incredibly sharp, carrying a powerful surge of soul power as they pierced the rhinoceros' abdomen.

Although the armored rhinoceros had strong defenses, its abdomen was a relatively vulnerable part. The sudden appearance of the ground spikes caught it off guard, and although it quickly raised its forelimbs to try to dodge, several of the ground spikes still pierced its abdomen.

"Roar!"

The armored rhinoceros roared in pain, its body trembling violently, blood gushing from the wound. It angrily shook its head, trying to shake off the ground thorn, but the ground thorn was like a root, firmly embedded in its body.

Chen Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze stern. He knew that while the armored rhinoceros's defenses were strong, its threat would be greatly reduced if its weaknesses were discovered. And at this moment, the armored rhinoceros had been pierced by a spike in the abdomen, causing it to lose its balance and stability.

"Fatgoo, keep going!"

Chen Zhou whispered the order, and at the same time, he quickly formed seals with his hands again. The alchemical energy flowed through his body and condensed into an even more powerful force.

Chen Gugu let out two "Gugu" sounds, then flapped his wings fiercely, transforming into a gust of wind as he swiftly charged towards the armored rhinoceros. His speed was so fast that he was right beside the armored rhinoceros in the blink of an eye. Then, he suddenly stopped, and his wings flapped violently, creating a powerful whirlwind that barreled straight towards the armored rhinoceros's head.

The wind blades and whirlwinds intertwined to form a dense attack net, trapping the armored rhinoceros's head firmly in it.

Although the armored rhinoceros has thick skin and flesh, the defense of its head is relatively weak. The cutting of the wind blade caused it to feel severe pain. It shook its head frantically, trying to get rid of this fatal attack.

However, Chen Gugu's attack did not stop. Its wings continued to flap, and wind blades rained down like raindrops, slicing the armored rhinoceros's head and leaving it covered in wounds. Blood continued to flow from its head, staining its scales red.

After absorbing the unique light balls of the Spirit Ascension Platform several times, Chen Gugu's strength became visibly stronger, and the flying wind blades became sharper and faster!
"Roar!"

The armored rhinoceros let out a shrill roar, its body trembled violently, and then fell heavily to the ground, unable to move. Its eyes gradually lost their light, and its body stopped struggling, obviously it had lost its life.
