The Lightning Driver
Chapters. 35. Out of the Forest of a Thousand Illusions
“Why do I want to come with you?!” Eira repeated the question from Gou Long
“If I told you, I'd come because of the food you wouldn't believe. I want to come with you because I see a tremendous potential in you, will you believe me?”
“Try you to explain, the incredible potential you saw?” Gou Long asked confusedly.
“Alright, all I'm saying is facts first. The resting Cici– in terms of pure air, is clearly far beyond you, but he wants to come with you. Of course, the Cici is sure that you can become the King of the World of Persilatan.”
“The next thing, your age is still very young, while the combat power is equivalent to the Peak Stage Sky Realm. Very rarely, there are human children who can obtain it. This pontension there is only one of a thousand–” Eira paused for a moment, after taking a breath.
He continued, “Meet a human like this, there will only be two choices. First; kill him, because such a man could be the greatest threat in the future.”
“Second; follow the person. We will also have the potential to step into a realm we have never imagined, if we join the person. In this case, it could be that I step into the Demon King Class.”
“The first choice, for me it is obviously impossible to–kill you, was in my position earlier. Is it possible that I could kill you? Your combat power alone has been very troublesome for me, in addition to that beautiful grandchild, I can count, profit and loss for myself.”
“If I fight only with you, I still have a seventy percent chance of victory, but when you fight, and by your side there is a sneak earlier, eating the chance of victory for me is zero percent, The realm of cici cultivation was far above me.”
“What explanation of me does this make sense to you, master owner of my soul contract seal?!” Eira finally closed the explanation with a question, curiosity clearly visible in the look of his clear eyes.
“Iya, I trust you.” Gou Long replied briefly.
They kept talking many things, one sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the other comfortably sitting on the man's shoulder. Occasionally swiping the tail into the ears of the man, like a docile cat that is very comfortable and has to be petted spoiled by the owner.
***
This morning, Gou Long was accompanied by a white fox who remained faithful sitting on his shoulders, walking along the stream quickly. His intention, in order to get out of the forest immediately, Gou Long moved quickly. According to the estimated time from Eira, they would arrive outside the forest just at night.
With a quick move they did not need to spend the night in the Thousand Illusions Forest anymore, This exhausting journey was treated with the presence of Eira there, as a Demon Fox, he really did talk a lot, he never got tired of asking about Gou Long like the public prosecutor who asked the defendant.
Fortunately, during this trip no demon approached them, probably because of the existence of Eira as a first-class demon. Eira's existence can suppress the spirit power of demons with lower classes below it.
This is inversely related to what happened yesterday. During the journey there were many demons that disturbed them. It was true that Hauri was an astral being whose inner energy realm was higher than Eira.
But, when faced with demons, the suppression of the power within Hauri would not be felt by the demons. This, also applies to Gou Long, the inner power suppression of the Human Race can only be felt by humans. However, still when faced directly this air can inhibit the movement of the opponent.
Due to lack of experience, this is considered by Gou Long as a form of oddity.
“Any, do you feel it Eira? This trip, it feels so easy. After all there is not a demon that comes near us .. isn't this strange?”
“Basic, you don't understand. What is strange, this is only a factor of oppression from me, the demons here are frightened because they feel the air of my existence.”Eira explained, as well as answering Gou Long's sense of wonder.
Mocking Eira replied, a mysterious smile was printed on her face. “Hai, you're getting stupid! You don't trust me?! All right, I will suppress my existence, so that the demons who do not know themselves will fight with you. As for me, will enjoy the show, Hi hi hi!”
Sure enough, not long after that, from the water began to appear slimy creatures with a striking yellow color, the size of an adult human.
It was a leech, a second grade Demon Leech, that appeared not one, but one horde, according to Gou Long's calculations, all numbered ten Demon Leeches. Eira did know there were many Demon Leeches in the river. He could feel their existence from now on.
But, he had deliberately lured Gou Long who was feeling curious. After all, Eira was also eager to find out how Gou Long had completed this much second grade Demon Leech.
“Alright, now you take care of them all, and don't associate with me!” eira whispered down from Gou Long's shoulder, and climbed into one of the trees that grew on the side of the river.
“Ha ha ha, Son of Man today, it is indeed an unlucky day for you, you met us. We can feel your blood bursting full of vitality,” said one of the Demon Leeches.
Relax and without fear, Gou Long said, “Yes! It's possible that what will happen later, unlike what you expected, ha ha ha. I remind you at this time, so that you do not regret it later.”
Gou Long laughed for a moment ....
“Are you guys very sure?” While saying, the position of his body instantly stood in the form of combat horses.
“Child of Man talk a lot, be prepared to mampus.”
Then a swarm of leeches moved agilely towards Gou Long, their movements not much different from the movements of the Snake Demon. Spouting, swinging and of course bouncy like a rubber band. Slippery leech skin and disgusting slime scattered in all directions.
Throwing away the disgust, Gou Long moved swiftly, he did not play any punching moves, The inner strength he possessed was an absolute advantage over a water-type opponent like this.
Gou Long moved with the steps of the Science of Swallowing the Wind, using the lightning field he created from the inner power as the foundation. Very fast movement and cannot be followed by the naked eye.
Eira who was watching was blown away, this was seen from the sparkling glare of the eyes.
Gou Long did not want to waste any time, by condensing the energy within and forming an energy sword, he moved agilely, where the silhouette of the shadow stopped there, sprawling a life-sustaining mole.
In a short period of time, the tenth Demon Leech of the second class, died entirely without having a chance to provide any meaningful resistance.
After cleaning up the stealth carcasses, Gou Long said to Eira. “Let's continue the journey, I trust you, now I beg you not to suppress your existence. We must move quickly and not linger in this Forest again.”
Obediently, Eira returned to the top of Gou Long's shoulder, and released the suppression of his first-class stealth air.
The light of the twilight sun, had appeared to pierce through the crevices of the leaves of the growing trees. According to Eira, they were already outside the Thousand Illusions Forest.
Continuing to follow the river flow, Gou Long vaguely felt familiar with the geographical location of the area they were passing through.
