Chapter 227: Monster
The mountain peak was about ten miles from the village, perhaps because it was on the edge of the mountain range, the forest wasn’t dense. Even without a path, Yusuf Zuck reached the peak in half an hour.
There was no platform or pavilion at the top of the mountain. Standing there, what could be seen was another peak. Here the mountains connected with each other, with nothing but vegetation covering them.
Yusuf Zuck walked a circle around the peak, then stood under a large pine tree. The pine was thick and lush with branches and leaves. However, despite the dense foliage, one would still be able to see if someone was hiding up there, because there was a moon out tonight, and by the moonlight, even a perched monkey would be visible.
After pondering for a moment, Yusuf Zuck ’whooshed’ and drew the Dragon Pattern Sword that Everest Zuck had named.
Once the Dragon Pattern Sword was drawn, it began to tremble; the blade was flexible, yet within its softness, there was a firmness.
Yusuf Zuck could clearly see that the sword was cyan, with crack-like patterns etched along the blade.
Yusuf Zuck had once seen a movie called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," where the sword that Trenton Montoya held was similar to the one in his hand now; you could say they looked very much alike.
"Is the sword very sharp?" Yusuf Zuck gently brushed his finger against the blade and sure enough, he found the edge sharp as a sheet of paper.
"Wonder if it’s also hard." Yusuf Zuck took two steps forward, approached a pine tree with the thickness of a bowl’s mouth, and then ’whooshed’ as he chopped at the pine tree.
"Whew~" A crisp sound emerged, and then Yusuf Zuck discovered the sword passed through the pine tree as if there was nothing there, casually cutting the tree down in the middle!
