Never Thought It Was Forever Chapter 8

Several days passed, and except for the first day when we encountered monsters blocking the way to the center of Yuehu Lake, we did not see any monsters in this center which was supposed to be the most dangerous. It was as if those high-level monsters deliberately hid themselves.

"Everyone present is a strong man above the level of Spirit King. Maybe the monster sensed something was wrong and hid away." Some people took this situation to heart, but naturally there were others who did not take it seriously.

No one present responded to his words.

"No matter what the reason is, the miracle of Moon Lake will not last long. We must work together to break it." Elder Lin Feng continued.

"Yes, this is a rare opportunity. If you miss it, you don't know how long you will have to wait."

"Then follow Elder Lin's advice and wait for the Jade Witch Saint to arrive and then work together to defeat it."

All major forces agreed to this, except for a young man who was sitting alone on a tree trunk. His dark eyes were unfathomable and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.

The young man was wearing a half mask, so his entire face could not be seen. Only his perfectly defined jaw and light-colored lips were exposed.

It was late at night and the roar of animals that could usually be heard was unusually quiet these past few days.

Jarvis had already noticed this difference, but apart from feeling more confused and puzzled, he could not do anything.

Fortunately, he was at the outskirts of Moon Lake. Even if something really happened in the depths of Moon Lake, it would not involve him.

"Little rabbit, you made me look for you so hard!" Jarvis just caught the jumping rabbit he encountered at noon! Well...it might not be the same one. He lost the first one he encountered, and this one was the one he found after he was unwilling to let the meat fly away.

"I'm trying my best to get a piece of meat." Jarvis grabbed the jumping rabbit's ears and looked around for streams and rivers. No matter how picky he was, he had to pluck the hair, remove the internal organs, and clean it thoroughly.

The fat rabbit in the boy's hands kicked weakly, as if it was unwilling to face the fate that was about to happen.

Jarvis ignored its struggle. He had put in a lot of effort today, and he was determined to eat the rabbit meat. He had to eat it now! He didn't even have to wait until dawn.

Holding a candle in one hand and a fat rabbit in the other, Jarvis walked cautiously in the forest, not missing any movement.

Not long after, they discovered a small pool of water ahead.

Jarvis walked over and observed for a while before approaching the pond. The moon seemed especially bright tonight. He stood by the pond and could see his own reflection clearly.

In the reflection of the pond water, the boy's skin color was dark, with large red spots on his face. Under the reflection of the water, his complexion became somewhat distorted and scary.

Even Jarvis, the instigator of this, was almost frightened when he saw this face at first glance. It was only later that he realized that this was all his own doing.

The young man's eyes curved and a smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He touched his face and said to himself: "It's a bit ugly, but..." It's useful!

At least during the time he was outside Yuehu Lake, he didn't encounter any so-called s3xual attraction.

However, being ugly has its advantages as well as disadvantages. When people see his face, they stay away from him, making it impossible for him to exchange information.

At the same time, under the pool of water, a young man was swimming desperately. Just as he was about to swim out, a faintly distorted face appeared before his eyes.

"Puff" this unexpected incident almost caused the young man to choke and drown. It only took him a moment to calm himself down and he immediately floated to the surface. Holding his breath in the water for a long time made him eager to breathe fresh air.

The young man was soaked all over, with water droplets on his handsome face. Under the moonlight, the water droplets seemed to become crystal clear, adding a sense of unreality.

The young man who suddenly emerged from the pool raised his head and breathed in deep breaths, while Jarvis just lowered his head and their eyes met.

Jarvis's scalp tightened and he took a step back, leaving the edge of the pool.

"...!" Jarvis was just admiring his masterpiece, but he never expected that a person would suddenly appear in the pool! He was so scared that he almost let go of the fat rabbit in his hand and let it escape.

Shen Gu (the young man who suddenly emerged from the pond) looked calm and swam ashore after a while.

But... Shen Gu glanced at the ugly boy with a gloomy look in his eyes. He was almost choked to death by this boy just now!

"Uh... I was just passing by and I didn't mean any harm." The look from the tall young man made Jarvis feel more stressed and he quickly explained.

Shen Gu naturally knew that he had no ill intentions, otherwise he would have sent him to the west as soon as he showed up. However, "If you are ugly, don't come out in the middle of the night to scare people."

The young man's tone was calm, and there was no malice in his voice. It was like he was stating a fact, but the words themselves were very hurtful.

Fortunately, Jarvis was not really bothered by appearance, otherwise he might not be unhappy to hear this.

"You are right, Senior. I am sorry for scaring you."

Shen Gu raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. The young man's tone was obviously sincere, but it sounded a little strange to him.

After a moment of thought, he understood the deeper meaning. Was the boy implying that he was timid?

"I won't bother you anymore, Senior. I'll be leaving now." Although he was extremely hungry and wanted to have a hearty meal right away, Jarvis was not a person without good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that this person had a high level of cultivation, so he had better get away from him as soon as possible.

While the young man was talking, Shen Gu had already figured out the situation around him.

"Stop." Seeing the young man turn around and try to run, he reached out and pressed the young man's shoulder.

Jarvis, who had his back to the young man, had a drooping face. He just wanted to eat meat! How could he encounter such a murder scene? Although the man was dressed in black and the smell of blood on his body was diluted by the pool water, it did not mean that he could not smell it at all.

This man's cultivation level is not low, so he definitely wasn't injured by the monsters outside. It must have been a human.

"I wonder if there is anything else you need, senior?" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Jarvis wisely turned around and asked.

"I have a wound on my back. Please help me apply the medicine." Shen Gu did not beat around the bush and stated his intention directly.

... He was really unprepared and not afraid of being stabbed from behind!

"Level 3 Spiritualist, I advise you to listen to me and act accordingly, otherwise..." Even though he was seriously injured now, Shen Gu did not think that he could not control a cultivator at the Spiritualist level.

Well! He is very skilled and daring, and is not afraid of his tricks at all.

"My dear senior, I have always been content with my lot."

Jarvis tied up the jumping rabbit with a rope and put it aside, preparing to apply medicine to the stranger.

At this time, Shen Gu had taken off his shirt, revealing his sturdy, well-defined upper body and muscles that were not exaggerated. This undoubtedly showed a good body shape and figure.

However, there were several scars on this perfect body that were deep enough to see the bones, destroying the original beauty.

"Go wash your hands first." Shen Gu did not feel uncomfortable exposing his body outside. All the people present were men, so there was nothing to be shy about.

"Oh." Hearing this, Jarvis obediently went to the pond to wash his hands.

With such deep scars on his back, it was indeed difficult for him to take action. Moreover, this sight further confirmed Jarvis's previous guess that the wounds on the man's body were all man-made, not caused by some high-level monster.
