I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 726: Coward

"How is this going?!"

As Gu Heng watched the surrounding silver light barrier shatter inch by inch, and a massive silver storm swept up, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Damn, this is my first time flying, and I've encountered this kind of disaster that's obviously not to be underestimated!

Although he didn't know what was going on.

But after reading more books, he understood that there must be something wrong with the spatial passage, and he probably wouldn't be able to get through it.

"Boom!"

The storm struck, catching Gu Heng off guard. It caused the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc to shake violently, but fortunately, just as the system had said, the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc could "fly in any environment." Although the storm was strong, it could not shake it in the slightest.

He quickly calmed himself down and continued to manipulate the divine compass.

Unfortunately, this silver space collapsed much faster than the divine disc could fly.

"This is……"

Gu Heng traversed the violent silver storm, and at the same time, he saw a scene he had never seen before, a scene that was not beautiful, but rather frightening.

The silver wall of space shattered, revealing only darkness outside.

Within that darkness, an even more terrifying storm seemed to be raging and howling. At least from the crack, Gu Heng could hardly say what he saw.

That must be what they call... "the void".

Or perhaps, the universe? To him, the scenery outside was indeed somewhat familiar, but not entirely so.

"Damn it, it looks like we can't get out!"

Gu Heng didn't have much interest in looking at the dark void outside, because the spatial passage had already collapsed in many places. Now, even the Heaven-Mending Divine Disc he was controlling was being swept away by the storm, and he didn't know where it was going.

The only thing to be thankful for is—

The storm, though terrifying, could not harm him.

But as his vision gradually blurred, Gu Heng had no idea what would happen next.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but when Gu Heng finally came to his senses from the deafening chaos that reverberated in his mind, he found himself in an unknown place.

With its mountains and rivers, lush trees and blooming flowers, this place is like a paradise on earth.

Gu Heng looked around and felt a little better: "Finally out of danger... This place is not bad, the environment is nice, but where exactly is this place?"

What's the point of this for him?

Is this still the Demon Realm?

Just as Gu Heng was puzzled, he suddenly heard birds chirping.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Gu Heng was dumbfounded. He saw a huge golden-winged roc, whose wings stirred up towering waves that shook a vast forest, displaying a destructive power.

This golden-winged roc is definitely not small. With its wings spread, the shadow on the ground seems to stretch for hundreds of paces!

Gu Heng had no idea where this monster had come from.

It must be no ordinary monster to have grown this big.

"what?"

The golden-winged roc noticed Gu Heng, and its demonic eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light. Then, it flapped its wings and shouted sharply, "Who dares to trespass into this forbidden area?!"

Forbidden place?

It's over, Gu Heng felt a chill in his heart.

You can specify where you shouldn't be teleported.

He gave a wry smile: "Brother Peng, please calm down! I did not mean to offend you. It's just that the teleportation array broke when I was passing through, so I ended up here by accident. Brother Peng, please show me the way, and I will leave immediately."

I came here by chance, so I can't say that I trespassed into a forbidden area, since I had no other choice.

If this golden roc were willing to point him in a direction and let him leave, Gu Heng would definitely follow without hesitation.

"Hmph, a liar's cover!"

The Golden-Winged Roc completely ignored the human's explanation; it was all too fake.

Once the spatial passage is shattered, one will be swept into the dual turbulence of space and void. Even a Demon Emperor could lose his life if caught in it, let alone such a tiny creature. It could kill this uninvited guest with a mere breath!

Gu Heng said helplessly, "Brother Peng, I'm really not lying to you..."

"Noisy!"

"Take your life!"

Without saying another word, the Golden-Winged Roc flapped its wings and opened its mouth to exhale a gust of wind!

It can't destroy this tranquil garden, or it will be held accountable later. But crushing that little bug is enough with this gust of wind!

Even if the Demon King came, he wouldn't be able to withstand it...

Ok?

How come that human is completely unharmed?

Even though I held back, I shouldn't be completely unharmed, right?

“…Uh?” Gu Heng stood in the wind, bewildered.

"You just attacked me?"

He squinted at the golden-winged roc in the sky, his tone gradually turning cold.

That big bird is going a bit too far.

Gu Heng had just used his "omniscient perspective" skill and only then did he realize that this roc was more for show than practical use!

He's grown up to be no threat to me at all. I was just being nice to him because he didn't want to cause a conflict. After all, this is a "forbidden area." Who knows whose territory this forbidden area is?

Just keep it subtle and don't cause any unnecessary trouble.

But if this big bird isn't willing to give him a chance to leave quietly...

Gu Heng silently took out his bow and arrows, which he hadn't used in a long time.

With the bowstring fully drawn, Gu Heng aimed at the large bird in the sky, ready to release his grip at any moment. Although it looked huge, this arrow seemed like a futile attempt, like an ant trying to shake a tree, but since the threat was negligible, this arrow might just have a miraculous effect!

The Golden-Winged Roc remained silent, but it immediately swooped down, its body rapidly shrinking until it became an ordinary-sized eagle, which then landed at Gu Heng's feet.

"Sir, I apologize for speaking a little too loudly just now!"

Gu Heng: "?"

No, he's already started this whole thing, doesn't he know there's no turning back?

The golden-winged roc spread its wings, lay prostrate on the ground, and dared not move.

Just now, when the arrow was aimed at it, it immediately felt a sharp and powerful force, as if it had pierced its heart!

As a demon beast, its instincts are very sharp.

Its instincts told it that if that arrow were fired, it would surely die!

Thinking back to the breath he had just exhaled, this big shot completely ignored it, without even tearing his clothes. Isn't this definitely a top-tier expert?

"...Now you're calling me a big shot?"

Gu Heng silently put the arrow away.

He still preferred the bird's unruly demeanor; how majestic it was.

"I was blind and slow-witted just now. That's just how my brain is. Please forgive me!"

The Golden-Winged Roc remained timid.

So you believe me?

"letter!"

"Alright, tell me where this place is."

Although it's a bit dramatic, if we can avoid taking action, that's fine too.
