Chapter 311: The Magical Spirit Beast
Actually, this wasn’t the first time Lin Bai and the others had discovered footprints. As soon as they arrived at the secret chamber, they had already seen the footprints on the ground.
At first, they had wanted to follow the footprints to avoid stepping on the traps, but these footsteps were scattered, making their plan impossible.
“What did the City Lord do here, or did he just discover this place and haven’t fully explored it?”
Bai Xi was very confused about this, but this answer could only be obtained after they had thoroughly explored the entire secret room.
“Hmm, what wrong Little Green?”
Lin Bai originally wanted to see if there were any patterns or clues left in the stone room, but just as he lifted his foot, he saw Little Green rubbing against his leg.
Little Green said, “Look at Little Black. Little Black just ran in that direction. I couldn’t stop him. It seems like he discovered something! I’ve already asked Little Red to follow him.”
Skinny Man and Bai Xi also noticed Little Green’s situation and looked at her with confusion.
Little Green could only communicate with Lin Bai without any obstacles. The two of them could only watch and wait for Lin Bai to tell them what had happened.
“Let’s go. Let’s not explore this place for now. Little Black seems to have discovered something.” After saying that, Lin Bai followed Greenie and ran into a cave behind the stone house.
This cave was the same size as the tunnel they had walked through before. However, they had only run more than 100 meters into the cave when they saw a flash of light in the distance.
“There’s another s.p.a.ce here, but there seems to be light inside! It’s still very bright. Could it be that this place leads to the surface of the earth?!”
The skinny man looked at this place and was confused. At the same time, he was also a little excited. If this place could really lead to the surface, then they wouldn’t have to worry about how to leave the City Lord’s estate without making a sound.
After all, they were inside, and the City Lord was outside. They couldn’t be sure when the City Lord was in the main hall. If they ran out recklessly, they would be sending themselves to the City Lord.
The exit of the pa.s.sageway was getting closer and closer, and the l.u.s.ter was becoming more and more dazzling. After being in the dim s.p.a.ce for a long time, Lin Bai and the other two only felt a piercing pain in their eyes.
When they arrived at the exit, the thin man and Bai Xi were somewhat dumbfounded. They stood on the spot and even forgot to move, their eyes staring blankly ahead.
Outside the exit was a s.p.a.ce with a circ.u.mference of 1,000 square meters. There was ample light here, and the air was cool and fresh.
For a moment, the fool felt that he was not on the ground, but outside the surface of the earth.
In the center of this s.p.a.ce was a tree that was more than 20 meters tall. The trunk of this tree was thick and strong, and its branches were luxuriant. What was most attractive was its countless leaves, each of which emitted a bit of fluorescent light.
It was this magical tree that lit up the entire s.p.a.ce.
Other than this big tree, there were wild gra.s.s, wild flowers, and wild fruits that could be seen everywhere outside.
“This, this is the jade tree. I once saw it in an ancient book. The jade tree’s entire body is like jade, and each of its leaves would emit a fluorescent light like jade. However, I remember that it had long disappeared in the long river of history… It’s actually here!”
Bai Xi muttered to herself and pinched her face with one hand to confirm if she was dreaming.
“Heh, then is this tree full of treasures? For example, what kind of supreme-grade medicinal pill can it be made into? What kind of extraordinary and peerless thing can it be made into?!”
When the thin man said this, he swallowed his saliva, and his eyes emitted a golden light. At this moment, the branches of this tree did not seem to have grown leaves, but rather, pieces of gold bars!
Bai Xi shook her head, breaking the thin man’s illusion, she said, “No, other than this special trait of emitting light, there’s nothing extraordinary about the jade tree. If you want to take one branch out and transplant it, I advise you to give up this idea. Impossible!”
The thin man’s eyes were originally s.h.i.+ning with a golden light, but after listening to Bai Xi’s explanation, his face was covered in dust, and his heart was filled with disappointment.
“Oh? Where’s Lin Bai?!”
Bai Xi looked around and realized that she had paid too much attention to this tree, so much so that she didn’t even notice when Lin Bai had left.
“There, there’s another spirit beast over there. This blue fur… how come I’ve never seen such a spirit beast before?”
The thin man pointed to the back of the Jade Tree, where Lin Bai was watching Little Black playing and playing with a blue spirit beast.
“I’ve never seen it before either. Let’s go and take a look!”
As they spoke, the two of them quickly came to Lin Bai’s side. Only then did they get a clear look at the blue spirit beast.
This magical spirit beast had blue fur all over its body. It looked like a monkey, but its tail was covered with scales, which made them extremely confused!
Little Black angrily charged towards the blue spirit beast, but was nimbly dodged by the blue spirit beast. When the blue spirit beast dodged, it did not forget to tease Little Black, using one of its fingers to hit Little Black on the head.
This made Little Black extremely embarra.s.sed and angry. It continued to rush forward, wanting to regain its face.
But after that, it was always Little Black being played and teased by the blue spirit beast, and Little Black could not even touch the blue spirit beast.
“Ha… Cough cough!”
Little Black suddenly heard a person’s laughter. It fiercely turned its head and saw the thin man grabbing his face with his hand. He forcefully suppressed his laughter.
Little Black’s jet-black eyes were filled with anger. He bared his fangs and brandished his claws. How dare you laugh at me!
Then, Little Black changed his target to the skinny man and chased him everywhere.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I was definitely not laughing at you just now. I was laughing at that monkey-like spiritual beast!”
“Ah! Why did you hit me too? Cough cough, I’m sorry! I wasn’t laughing at you. I, I was laughing at myself!”
..
In the forest.
Fatty paced left and right, his brows tightly furrowed. From time to time, he would look at Fu Hu, who was sitting upright beside him, and all sorts of thoughts would float around in his mind.
“Right now, he’s circulating his cultivation to digest the spirit medicine. If he wants to make a move, then that would be a good opportunity!”
“But why would he dare to digest the Pill in front of me and raise his cultivation? Didn’t he suspect me?”
“No, no, maybe I was wrong from the start. He was probably faking it, waiting for me to fall into his trap. That way, he would have a reason to believe that his guess was correct!”
..
Weng!
Light burst out!
An aura spread out from Fu Hu’s body, and soon after, a jet-black, foul-smelling impurity was expelled from his body.
Kacha! Immediately after, the sound of something breaking sounded out of thin air!
Slowly, Fu Hu opened his eyes. For a moment, his eyes seemed to be bursting with light!
The corner of Fatty’s mouth twitched. He had experienced this before. This meant that Fu Hu had broken through. Just when he was hesitating, he had broken through!
“Phew!”Fu Hu took off his clothes and found a pond in the forest. With a plop, he crawled into it and washed the impurities off his body. “The feeling of breaking through is so refres.h.i.+ng!”
“Congratulations! Brother Fu Hu!”
The fatty smiled and agreed.
“You’re welcome. If you didn’t guard it for me, someone might have come to ruin my plan. Don’t you think so?”
As Fu Hu spoke, a strange expression appeared on his face.
