Chapter 769 Medicine Man
Not only the three demonic beasts, but also the strange man fighting with them, all stopped at the first moment. He stared at Chen Yang blankly, a hint of surprise on his face.
The three demonic beasts arrived beside Chen Yang at the first moment. They did not stay on Chen Yang but hid behind him. Chen Yang was much more powerful than them, and did not need their protection at all. On the contrary, they were the ones who needed protection the most!
The rat had now returned its body to that of a normal rat. It lay on Chen Yang's shoulder and spoke to Chen Yang with its mental power, "This guy injured Old Bear. Boss, you must avenge us."
Hearing this, Chen Yang's expression became extremely strange. He sized up the rat and did not immediately examine Black Bear's injuries. Instead, he said with some curiosity, "Why has your mental power suddenly become so strong?"
The last time Chen Yang interacted with these three demonic beasts, their mental power did not seem to be this strong!
Chen Yang found that as soon as he touched upon this issue, the three demonic beasts dared not look at him directly.
Chen Yang immediately realized that something was wrong with these guys.
Whether it was demonic beasts or human martial artists, their mental power would not increase so much for no reason.
Chen Yang's own mental power had increased twice. The first time was through the bronze cauldron, and the second time was the result of his desperate breakthrough.
This demonic beast had clearly not swallowed the bronze cauldron, and there was no trace of the bronze cauldron's aura on them.
As for a pure breakthrough in mental power like his own, that was even more impossible. The strength of demonic beasts lay in their extremely powerful bodies, and mental power was their weakness.
Even the rat, which had extremely strong mental power among the three demonic beasts, was only slightly stronger than an ordinary martial artist in Chen Yang's opinion.
Now that the mental power of these three guys had increased so greatly, Chen Yang would not believe it if they said nothing was going on.
"Hmph, tell me carefully later."
Saying this, Chen Yang walked towards the mysterious man.
At this time, Gong Renli had already rushed over and stood with the demonic beasts. They watched Chen Yang walk step by step towards the mysterious man without unleashing their internal energy, which was very strange.
Chen Yang ignored Gong Renli, who had just arrived, and said to the mysterious man word for word, "When did you come to this place?"
"I... I wandered around outside after coming out. Nobody really welcomed me, so I wanted to stay in the forest alone for a while to air out my smell. I didn't expect to be chased and beaten by those three guys as soon as I came out. Do you know them?"
Chen Yang not only knew the mysterious man who was speaking, but he had also dealt with him once before.
This person was precisely the Medicine Man who had guarded the alchemist of the Zhou family.
After the Medicine Man woke up, he had intended to find his family. However, upon learning that his family members had all passed away, the Medicine Man had no choice but to wander in the southwest. Due to his lack of contact with others for many years and his peculiar smell, the Medicine Man had been bullied by many people.
But the Medicine Man had never retaliated against these provocations. He had not enjoyed a normal life for a long time, and his past experiences were far more bitter than his current ones.
Entering the forest was not only for a period of rest but also to find some medicinal herbs.
But he never expected to be targeted as soon as he entered.
"These three demonic beasts indeed belong to me. However, what you've said seems to align with the information I received. They claim you injured some herb gatherers, and that you also injured my Black Bear."
Chen Yang did not care whether the Medicine Man would fight him.
In Chen Yang's opinion, although the Medicine Man's strength had indeed increased compared to before, it was not enough to defeat him.
"How is that possible? I hadn't even made a move yet. They were scared away by my appearance. I originally wanted to help them gather herbs..." The Medicine Man could only say this with tears in his eyes.
Chen Yang's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly, "Since that's the case, then come with me. You can explain to the people in the village."
Looking at the Medicine Man in front of him, Chen Yang could see that his mental state had not been good lately.
Of course, it was also possible that his mental state was a bit tense due to fighting with the three demonic beasts.
After Chen Yang brought the Medicine Man back, seeing everyone giving him strange looks, he smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce you all. This is..."
Halfway through his sentence, Chen Yang suddenly looked at the Medicine Man. Although they knew each other, Chen Yang still did not know the man's real name.
"My surname is Gao. As for my name... I've forgotten it too. They all call me Little Gao." A bitter smile appeared on the Medicine Man's lips. He was not very old when the alchemist took him away from his parents.
Over the years, he only remembered his nickname.
Chen Yang sized up the Medicine Man's physique and rolled his eyes.
Not only was this guy tall, but he was also broad-shouldered and strong. Calling him Little Gao was more like calling him Big Gao!
"Then you shall be called Little Gao!"
"We two know each other. He came to this forest with no ill intentions, and he did not intentionally harm anyone from the village."
Looking at what was happening before them, the three demonic beasts quickly recovered. There was no longer any threat in their eyes towards Little Gao. After all, Chen Yang said so, and if they did not obey, Chen Yang was not a kind boss!
The three of them remembered vividly their first battle with Chen Yang and their subsequent growth. They were now completely subservient to Chen Yang.
Gong Renli said nothing, only looked at the other party with a strange expression.
On the way back, he said to Chen Yang, "Didn't you say you weren't going back? Are we just leaving?"
"I told you not to go back, but I didn't say I wasn't going!"
Chen Yang made Gong Renli wait for more than half an hour outside the village before he brought someone out.
Little Gao indeed had no intention of harming others at the time. After some explanation, the villagers felt quite embarrassed, as it was unreasonable to pursue and attack someone without cause, no matter where it happened.
The temporary head of the village looked at Chen Yang with some hesitation: "The village chief has gone out with the people, and they might be back in a few hours. Would you like to rest in a room first?"
Chen Yang waved his hand and said to everyone, "I will be leaving this time and may not return for a long time. This is my gift to all of you."
After placing down a few bottles of elixirs, Chen Yang waved goodbye as he left, "If anything happens in the future, feel free to come and find me."
However, after bringing the person out, Chen Yang went back in alone.
