Infinite Comprehension: Starting as a Medicine Apprentice

Chapter 7

Three strong and burly strange men wearing black scarves walked in. Then, the three took off their black scarves. The three seemed to be arguing about something, and then a package fell to the ground.

"Clatter."

A pile of silver ingots and some jewelry rolled out of the package. Chu Shu opened his eyes wide. Obviously, he guessed the identity of these three people. They were probably not righteous people; most of them were thieves. Most of these gold and silver jewelry were also dirty. Seeing the gold and silver jewelry in the package, two of them looked at each other, and then they drew their swords.

"Puff."

One of the men fell in a pool of blood, and the two of them joined forces to kill their accomplice. The man picked up the package from the ground and sneered: "Humph, Liu San, you are looking for death yourself. Don't blame us; you were too greedy."

"Brother, why are you talking so much? Without Liu San, we can share more gold and silver this time."

Both of them showed a trace of greed in their eyes. With so much gold and silver, they planned to stop for the time being. The two men walked inside and were about to hide the package. Suddenly, one of them moved his nose slightly, as if he smelled something.

"Who? Come out!"

The man's eyes kept sweeping around and finally fixed on a corner.

"Have I been discovered?"

Chu Shu was shocked, but in such a small place, since he was discovered, he couldn't hide. So, Chu Shu walked out directly, looked directly at the two, and said calmly: "I am a herbalist; I go into the mountains to collect herbs."

Chu Shu was still carrying a backpack. The two thieves saw that there were indeed medicinal herbs in the backpack.

"Your business has nothing to do with me. How about you just pretend that I have never been here and I have never seen you?" Chu Shu said calmly.

The two looked at each other, then tightened the knives in their hands and sneered: "It's your bad luck that you found the cave where we hid and that you also saw our faces."

The two men then approached with knives.

"Wait, I'm not alone in the mountains to collect herbs; I have companions. My companions must be looking for me everywhere now. If you kill me, you will be in trouble." Chu Shu retreated step by step.

"You have companions? It seems that we can't stay here. Kill you and we will go down the mountain immediately!" A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the two men, and they continued to approach with big knives.

One step, two steps, three steps... Chu Shu had retreated to the wall of the cave, and there was no way to retreat.

"I only have one chance. I must kill with one strike!" Chu Shu's eyes were firm.

He knew very well that his body had not grown up yet, and his physical qualities were inferior to these two fierce thieves. Even if he practiced martial arts, what would it matter if his blood and Qi had just grown stronger? If it were other apprentices, they would probably die if they met these two thieves. But Chu Shu still had a glimmer of hope because he practiced the Tiger Pouncer, and it was at a high level.

The Tiger Pouncer imitated a tiger's strike and emphasized killing with one blow. As long as he could deal with one thief first, Chu Shu would have a chance to deal with the remaining one. Chu Shu crouched slightly, motionless. He was gathering strength, just like a real tiger observing its prey. Once he found a flaw, the tiger would kill with one strike.

The two thieves obviously didn't take Chu Shu, a teenager, seriously. One of the thieves took two steps at a time and rushed directly towards Chu Shu. When the other raised the big knife in his hand, a sharp light flashed in Chu Shu's eyes.

"Now!"

Chu Shu bent his legs slightly, crouched, and kicked hard like a real tiger.

"Swoosh."

Chu Shu's pounce was as fast as lightning and full of momentum. Even the thief vaguely felt that he was not facing a teenager, but a beast. The thief had no time to react at such a fast speed and was pounced on by Chu Shu and fell to the ground.

"Bang."

Chu Shu pounced on the thief, picked up the stone he had just broken off the cave wall, and smashed it hard on the thief's head. One, two, three... After only three or five hits, the thief's head was bloody, and he lost his breath.

"Ah..."

The other thief finally reacted, his eyes widened and red with rage.

"Second brother..."

The thief chopped down at Chu Shu with a knife. Chu Shu rolled on the ground to avoid the blade and then pounced on the thief again. This pounce knocked the thief down. Chu Shu did the same thing again, picking up a stone and smashing it hard on the man's head.

"Bang bang bang."

After a few hits, the thief's head was smashed to pieces, and he lay on the ground motionless.

"Tiger Pouncer is perfected, comprehension plus 2."

A line of small words appeared in front of Chu Shu.

"What, Tiger Pouncer is perfected?" Chu Shu's expression was lifted. Since he understood the meaning of the tiger, the practice of the Tiger Pouncer had been smooth and progressing quickly. He didn't expect that after killing two thieves with the Tiger Pouncer just now, between life and death, the technique would be directly perfected. However, he was too tired now and didn't have the energy to check the attribute panel.

"Huh..."

Chu Shu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. The two blows just now had actually exhausted his physical strength. Recalling the battle, the two thieves were strong but seemed to be ignorant of martial arts; they were no match for a young man like Chu Shu. Chu Shu had just started practicing martial arts. If he practiced for a longer time and his blood and Qi were stronger, then these two people would no longer have posed a threat to him.
