Chapter 51: The Rhinoceros Army Arrives

  Looking at the round leafy plant with several green fruits in front of him, Wu Rui's voice was a bit stuttered. He didn't expect that he would actually encounter an extreme-grade Lingcui here, and for a moment, he thought he was dreaming.

  I gave a hard pinch on my thigh, ouch! Everything in front of me is real!

  Wu Rui crouched down in front of the ginseng, trembling with excitement, gently stroking the dark green leaves with his hands, feeling the rich medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy emanating from underground, almost becoming intoxicated, and then burst out laughing foolishly.

  "Ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and it's even borne fruit. The ginseng and the fruit have different medicinal effects, and when refined into a pill, it would be a top-grade product... Unfortunately, with my current cultivation level, I can only refine mid-grade pills, which isn't as good as eating it directly..." Wu Rui muttered to himself before carefully digging up the ginseng, not even willing to break its roots.

  "Ginseng of the Immortal, even standing next to it makes one feel refreshed and invigorated!" Wu Rui exclaimed, hastily putting the ginseng into his storage ring.

  Later, Wu Rui continued to search and excavate in this valley, finding many good things, including the Tongling grass he had thought of before. However, these spiritual objects were somewhat discolored under the light of the Wannian ginseng, and Wu Rui simply dug them into his storage ring with a single mind.

  If I could build a house on the small island in the lake of this valley, come to vacation, retreat and cultivate, plant flowers and grasses, it would be truly desirable.

  Of course, Wu Rui just thought about it, he didn't even dare to confirm whether he could come back to Osen Star again in the future. Now he can't afford to be distracted and is busy until the sun is high in the sky before reluctantly flying up the cliff, looking back from time to time.

  Found Ah Niu still respectfully waiting at the cliff, Wu Rui felt a bit apologetic and awkwardly said: "Ah Niu, I've kept you waiting for so long!"

  "No big deal, I can wait as long as it takes!" Ah Niu hastily responded, but in fact, after standing for half a day, it was impossible not to feel tired. However, he didn't dare to relax his guard even for a moment and continued to stand firmly where he was.

  "Not bad, let's go back!" Wu Rui nodded in approval and led Ah Niu back the way they came. This Ah Niu may have a somewhat dull name, but he is not a dull person, and even has some cleverness to him; with a bit more polishing, who knows, maybe he'll become a qualified emperor.

  This is the planet of Osen, still in its primitive and barbaric civilization, unlike Earth which has had thousands or even tens of thousands of years of civilization. The people here are not yet capable of grand conspiracies, most of them just do whatever comes to mind, as long as they can bluff their way through it, they can achieve something. And this Ah Niu is also clever enough to take advantage of the situation and rise to power.

  Not to mention that this place has not yet entered the imperial era, even on the earth a thousand years ago, Han Gaozu Liu Bang also called himself 'Dragon's Son' and plotted rebellion, it can be seen that the theory of gods and ghosts is especially important in this era.

  "Roar!"

  "Roar!"

  Not yet back to the tribal village, Wu Rui heard a rhino's voice from afar, and even the earth was slightly shaking. Most importantly, the sound came from the direction of the tribal village, Wu Rui frowned suddenly and asked Ah Niu who followed behind: "Ah Niu, are there many rhinos here?"

  Ah Niu didn't know why Wu Daifu asked this, but still answered truthfully: "Of course, we call it the Rhinoceros Forest because rhinos are in groups and are the masters of this forest! Last time I was injured, it was because a rhino went crazy and attacked our village, I was stabbed by a rhino horn while protecting the villagers."

  Speaking of this, Ah Niu still has lingering fear.

  Wu Rui furrowed his brow, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart, and hastily asked: "Isn't there a place to protect the villagers in the village?"

  "We set up fences, but the rhinos are too powerful and their skin is too thick. We humans can't stop them at all. Every time they come, everyone can only hide in the stone cave, but many people in the village live in wooden houses and often don't have time to evacuate, resulting in injuries." Ah Niu said with a mix of hatred and helplessness.

  "Not good, the rhino herd is now heading towards the village, let's hurry!" Wu Rui finally knew where his unease came from, and quickly took off running, but soon stopped and pulled Ah Niu up, flying through the air to quickly return to the village.

  Feeling the whistling wind by his ears, Ah Niu's face turned somewhat red, especially when he found himself already high up in the sky. His heart was so frightened that if he wasn't worried about the situation of the village, he might not have been able to hold back a shout!

  Within two minutes, Wu Rui had already brought Ah Niu back to the village entrance, but what was in front of them made their eyes turn red instantly, and a fire of anger ignited in their hearts!

  The village is built in a place with mountains and water, the natural scenery is not bad, but now the situation is very bad. Hundreds of rhinos are running around the village, like meatball tanks, wherever they pass, they are flattened to the ground, and the wooden houses in the village are also the target of the rhino's attack.

  The materials of these wooden houses were solid, but they were all made of rattan and bamboo, with rough workmanship, and naturally could not withstand the impact of so many rhinos, and collapsed one after another.

  More importantly, there are still many people inside who did not have time to evacuate. The house collapsed, and it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

  "Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Ah Niu's eyes turned red immediately, and he grasped the 'divine instrument' in his hand, wanting to rush forward!

  "Halt!" Wu Rui hastily stopped Ah Niu, seeing the other party's puzzled and nervous gaze, and coldly snorted: "Aren't you going to your death like this? With only brute force and foolish bravery, even if you can become emperor, what's the use? You'll be replaced sooner or later!"

  "But... but now the lives of our people are in danger, I as a great king cannot just sit back and do nothing!" Ah Niu's heart was filled with anxiety, even his tone of voice was somewhat urgent, if it were any other time, he wouldn't dare speak to Wu Rui like that.

  Wu Rui nodded secretly, this Ah Niu's heart was not bad, worth mentioning, but now is not the right time for him to participate. He said: "I'll go drive away the rhinoceros, you follow behind to maintain order and rescue the tribespeople!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Rui had already leaped high into the air and transformed into a residual shadow, quickly flying towards the village.

  "Hundreds, thousands of rhinos, and it seems that this rhino forest is not just this group, has exceeded the normal capacity of the forest, must dispose of a batch! Wu Rui's mind quickly turned, people have arrived at the village above, seeing below there are more than ten rhinos charging at the wooden house, immediately swooped down, like the Buddha's palm, high and slapped on one of the rhino's head..."

  "Bang......" The hard rhinoceros head burst open directly, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.

  "Dr. Wu is here!"

  "Great Doctor Wu is divine!"

  The people in the wooden house were desperate, and Wu Rui, who had descended from heaven, was momentarily elevated to a higher and more sacred position in their hearts. They forgot their fear and knelt down one after another to beg for his blessing.

  The rhinos around were also startled by Wu Rui, but they were animals that acted on instinct, not only did they not understand what gods were, but they were also not afraid of death. Perhaps feeling that this human had challenged their authority, they shifted their target and pointed their horns at Wu Rui, charging over from a distance.

  "Seeking death!" Wu Rui not only didn't retreat, but instead took the initiative to attack, his body constantly shuttling through the rhino herd. Every time he slapped out a palm, a rhino would be splattered with blood on the spot. Sometimes when they enraged him, he would simply release a big spell, able to simultaneously kill several rhinos at once.

  "Rooooaaaar……” As over a hundred rhinos fell to the ground at Wu Rui's hands, only half of them felt threatened and scattered in all directions, fleeing out of the village. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace. The village was quiet once again, but compared to before, it now had an added air of desolation and bleakness.

  The house almost completely collapsed, and on the ground, not far apart, lay a rhinoceros corpse, with dark blood flowing everywhere, in a terrible mess, as if it had experienced the Eight-Nation Alliance's carpet bombing.
