In the past, even when facing the most cunning and terrifying opponents, he could at least remain calm.

Although it was scary, he knew it was just fear at work and all he needed to do was use his own strength to solve the problem.

But this time it was different. Those yellow eyes seemed to be able to see through everything about him. He only felt like a naked baby who could be easily wiped out by the other party.

"Where is my sword!"

Fear brings impulse and the venting of anger to cover up one's own vulnerability.

At this moment, Gu Jiu frowned, starlight suddenly flowed on his body, and then he suddenly punched down.

Such a punch brought out a violent star-struck shock wave.

With a loud bang, the entire cylinder swelled up in an instant, like a big-bellied toad filled with air, in danger of bursting at any time.

The shock wave rushed down, as if it could crush everything, and the overflowing force made Gu Jiu's clothes rustle.

This punch was a true "Saint's Fist". Because of the fear in his heart, Gu Jiu did not hold back at all.

Under the pressure of this violent force, the wrinkles of the green vat suddenly stretched out, revealing a pair of extremely sinister eyes.

Gu Jiu stood at the mouth of the tank, breathing heavily. He felt very tired, as if his lungs were burning with fire.

The next moment, his pupils quickly shrank into two dark dots, and his face showed a very complicated expression.

Even under such bombardment, the yellow eyes were still there, without even a trace of damage.

Those eyes were so cold and gloomy, as if there were thousands of poisonous needles in them, piercing into Gu Jiu's heart.

Without any hesitation, Gu Jiu bit his lip, jumped off the edge of the tank, and prepared to escape.

This was the first time he admitted defeat and believed that he could not defeat the other party.

Even the big tree in Taohua An and the centipede under Qingliu Academy did not make Gu Jiu feel this way.

And this tank in front of you has done it!

At this time, Gu Jiu took a look at the large green vat, which looked sinister because of the addition of a pair of eyes, and kicked it suddenly, hitting the bottom of the vat.

There was a loud bang, and the huge green vat was kicked away. Gu Jiu turned and left.

At this moment, the woman in the air let out an extremely hoarse and unpleasant roar, which made Gu Jiu's head hurt.

When the giants heard the voice of the old woman, they crawled in.

Seeing this, Gu Jiu stomped his feet on the ground and jumped up.

His figure instantly turned into a lightning-fast afterimage, smashing the glazed tile roof of the palace.

At this moment, the entire underground city, which was originally extremely quiet, suddenly became boiling.

The tall-waisted giant on all fours below spotted Gu Jiu, and immediately leaped up and pounced on him.

They are very long and strong, and in comparison, Gu Jiu's body looks very small.

This gives people the feeling of a tiger pouncing on a rabbit.

But the next moment, the "rabbit" smashed the bodies of the two "tigers" and flew out like the wind.

Gu Jiu ran very fast. Why did he run instead of flying? Because his sword was gone, and running was the most energy-saving method.

At this moment, a rumbling sound was heard from behind, and the whole ground was shaking.

Gu Jiu looked back and saw a huge hole exploded on the roof of the huge palace, revealing a dark outline.

That's a head!

Gu Jiu saw those eyes again.

Eyes like the underworld.

If the head of this thing had already smashed through the roof of the palace, how big must it be?

Soon, the head opened its mouth, and yellow spring water gushed out.

In those springs, there were countless resentful souls screaming and wailing. Gu Jiu even saw the faces of Gu Xiaoxiao, Su Ying, Xiao Qi, and the prefect Liu Fengyao.

How can this be?

After seeing this scene, Gu Jiu felt even more frightened and couldn't help but lose the courage to fight again.

He just wanted to escape from here now, as if escaping from a ridiculous nightmare.

Maybe what Hua Ningfeng said was true, Gangpo was an existence that could never be defeated.

Is it true that all humans can do is to survive in this cruel world?

(PS: Do you think the invincible protagonist in this chapter is not invincible? There is a reason, which will be explained later.)

Chapter 39: The Lingering Nightmare (Part )

Gu Jiu ran wildly in this underground city. He did not look back, or to be more precise, he did not dare to look back.

He was afraid that if he looked into those yellow eyes again, he would become as timid as a mouse.

Gu Jiu couldn't help but recall the things in his previous life. At that time, he was still in elementary school, and his deskmate asked him to go play by the river.

Children tend to like to play, even though Gu Jiu is a good boy at home.

The weather is quite hot in the summer. When Gu Jiu came to the agreed river while his parents were taking a nap, he found that his deskmate was already playing in the water.

What made Gu Jiu even more excited and shy was that there was a sister with a nice figure playing in the water.

According to his deskmate, this was his neighbor's sister, who came to play with him.

This was the first time that Gu Jiu felt that his deskmate was really good at having fun. Not only did he have money to buy so many snacks, but even the neighbor's sister was so beautiful.

Gu Jiu's family was not very well-off at the time, so the women he met were not very fashionable. The sight of his neighbor's sister, who was sitting next to him, wearing a bikini naturally made a big impression on him.

At that time, the only swimming pool in their town was still under maintenance, so playing in the river was a common occurrence.

This was the place his deskmate had found. Although the water was a bit deep, it wasn't dangerous. Besides, his deskmate had brought two swimming rings, so naturally nothing would happen.

Gu Jiu, who was in the fifth grade at the time, felt a little shy when he saw this pretty sister.

But his deskmate quickly dragged him into the water.

In fact, Gu Jiu can swim and can swim well without a swimming ring.

But in the eyes of that sister, they were just little kids. She asked them to wear swimming rings before she swam in the water.

The beginning of the day was actually quite beautiful. The river water was cool, driving away the summer heat. The neighbor's sister was in great shape, and the children found all kinds of happiness that belonged to children.

But just when Gu Jiu felt a little tired from swimming and wanted to go ashore, he suddenly found that the river became turbulent.

This change was so abrupt that Gu Jiu and his deskmate were a little flustered.

They wanted to swim to the shore, but the swimming rings on their bodies became a burden.

The two men could only be swept down by the rushing river water. It was not until they had rushed some distance that they realized why the water had become so fast.

It turned out that there was a dam a mile ahead, and at this time the dam was opening the gates to release water.

Neither he nor his deskmate had expected this to happen, and they soon discovered that the older sister was also in the water, swimming very hard.

Gu Jiu even felt that her swimsuit was about to be washed away by the water.

At this section, a lot of mud had mixed in at some point, and the river water, which was originally clean, suddenly became turbid.

The three of them were in extreme panic and didn't know what to do.

Soon, they heard the rumbling sound of water at the sluice.

This was the first time Gu Jiu felt so close to death. He was so scared that he even started crying.

But at this time, who can still control him?

At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly felt his body tilt, and then he saw the beautiful sister next to him swimming over and suddenly pressing down his swimming ring.

Compared to this sister, Gu Jiu was very light, so he almost "capsized" after being pushed.

After taking a sip of water, Gu Jiu suddenly panicked and kept coughing, feeling that mud and water were rolling in his throat.

Before Gu Jiu could catch his breath, the sluice gate was already right in front of him.

The huge suction force pulled Gu Jiu madly. Gu Jiu was so panicked that he could only instinctively hold on to a cement block next to him.

The sister who was holding the swimming ring had her face buried in the water.

The childish-looking swimming ring couldn't withstand such pulling and was soon torn and deflated.

Gu Jiu felt like his hands were about to break and he was about to give up. He almost instinctively struggled to get rid of the swimming ring on his body.

As soon as the swimming ring fell, Gu Jiu felt that the huge suction force had weakened a lot, and he was actually able to struggle to climb up.

This is all because the classmate's neighbor's sister has been holding the swimming ring, which is equivalent to him holding one more person, and it is already his limit to be able to hold on until now.

Gu Jiu's mind was in a mess at the time, but he had only one thought in mind, which was to avoid being washed away by the water.

But at this moment, his body suddenly sank and was pulled into a straight line.

Gu Jiu turned around hurriedly and found that his ankle was actually grabbed by the neighbor's sister.

Gu Jiu was so scared that he burst into tears. His arms were bleeding and he felt like he was about to give up.

In his eyes, the rumbling yellow muddy water kept hitting the sister, making her look like a female water ghost.

At this time, his deskmate ran over from the other side of the stone squat and grabbed Gu Jiu's hand tightly.

Gu Jiu felt as if his body was about to be torn apart, and his hands and ankles were in so much pain that he felt like he was struggling.

Gu Jiu's body slid down and he was about to be pulled into the water. At this moment, his desk mate suddenly lay down, held down his body, and kicked the young lady in the head several times.

Gu Jiu's deskmate grew up tall and strong because his family was wealthy and he had good food. So after a few steps, Gu Jiu felt his ankle loosen and he struggled to climb up.

After that, Gu Jiu huddled on the stone pier, gasping for breath, wiping his tears and crying loudly.

That young lady died?

Gu Jiu remembered it very clearly. When his deskmate kicked her at the last moment, the young lady's head suddenly floated out of the water, covered with yellow mud and sand.

That expression, the last expression that emerged from the sister's face in the yellow soup, became Gu Jiu's lingering nightmare.

Later, Gu Jiu and his deskmate were rescued, but the sister died downstream.

He didn't dare say that this sister was kicked down by his deskmate.

This was an unavoidable choice, otherwise both Gu Jiu and his sister would die. However, such a thing was too much of a shock to the young Gu Jiu.

This is a real childhood shadow.

Because of this incident, he and his former best friend became more and more unfamiliar with each other until they parted ways and never saw each other again.

Gu Jiu would still think of his deskmate from time to time because even after many years, his nightmares would still show that sister's face covered in yellow mucus.

That face was his haunting nightmare.

The reason why Gu Jiu was so scared now was because there was a shadow of yellow soup in those yellow eyes.

Are all the waters of the Yellow Spring the same, not only taking away people's lives but also bringing them great fear?

At this time, five or six tall-waisted giants were surrounding them from the front.

Gu Jiu did not stop, his body was as fast as lightning, he grabbed one of the ankles of the giant in front with his bare hands and shouted loudly!

The next moment, the tall-waisted giant who was several times taller than him was thrown out and collided with the two tall-waisted giants behind him, bringing out a series of dull sounds of broken flesh and bones!

Chapter 40: The Source of Fear (Part )

This is a somewhat funny picture. A giant was picked up by the "little man" Gu Jiu and thrown out as easily as throwing a stick, and it also knocked down two other giants of the same kind.

Now Gu Jiu just wants to run away, so his fighting style is no longer freehand, but extremely violent.

The remaining three giants were all blown in the head by his punch, and blood splattered like rain.

However, at this moment, no one knew how many giants had run out of this underground town. Those swaying black shadows kept approaching, like a moving bamboo forest.

Gu Jiu ran wildly all the way, and then suddenly jumped into a house.

Then the roof of the house flew off.

Gu Jiu flew across the rooftops all the way, and every time he landed on a roof, the roof of the coffin-like house would disappear.

So as we ran along the way, the air was filled with the aroma of meat.
