When the topic was brought up, the system's tone couldn't help but rise, "You guessed right, with the Kunlun Mountains as the center, all the areas covered by the light are blessed by the ancient trees.

The demons and monsters within this area were either killed immediately or fled in panic. Even the strongest among them were no match for Gu Mu.

Gu Shi sighed, "This is really...great."

Even though he had guessed it a long time ago, after hearing the news from the system himself, Gu Shi couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on his face.

The system also sighed and said, "Yes, that's really great.

At the previous speed, if everything goes well, in about three days, these light spots will be scattered all over the world. By then, these enemies on Blue Planet will no longer pose a threat to us."

“What a pity…”

"Huh? What's wrong?" Gu Shi noticed the turn in the system's words, and his heart began to hang in the air. Could there be any more bad news?

The system sighed softly, "Although the current crisis has been resolved, the future of this world cannot be said to be smooth sailing.

You should have experienced this all too well—the unreasonable attraction that ancient trees hold for them. It can help us drive away our current enemies, but it will also attract even more powerful ones in the future.

It’s not time for us to completely relax.”

After hearing this, Gu Shi fell into deep thought. The system was right. This was indeed a very likely scenario.

Noticing the change in Gu Shi's expression, the system realized that its words had somewhat dampened the mood.

He apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that at this time."

It was obvious that Gu Shi had just finished a dangerous mission and achieved perfect results. He was feeling happy right now, so he should have mentioned these things later.

The system actually lacks experience in interacting with other people, and Gu Shi can be said to be his only friend.

When the world of immortal cultivation still existed, the relationship between him and those cultivators was more like that of teacher and student, creator and created.

In order to cope with future crises, the system at that time was basically focused on studying every day and had no time to make friends.

After waking up in modern times, in order to enable humans to better carry out its plans, the system disguised itself as an emotionless intelligent system and minimized emotional exchanges between the two sides.

In this situation, the system had become accustomed to the cold and efficient mode of conversation, and now it subconsciously poured a bucket of cold water on Gu Shi.

Gu Shi didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "No need to apologize. What you said is all true. These are problems we must face in the future. We must prepare in advance."

"There's no need to rush. We still have quite a while to prepare before the crisis hits. Why don't you take a break and give yourself a vacation?"

The system was clearly reminding Gu Shi not to relax just now, but now it started to persuade Gu Shi to take a rest.

"You have achieved such a great result this time, you should celebrate it properly.

It’s a pity that you are not very familiar with most of the people in the team, otherwise you can have a lively meal together after their injuries are healed.

By the way, do you have any rewards you want? I have quite a few good things here that I can use as payment for your mission."

Being asked this question suddenly, Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, "No, I don't want anything."

"Then I'll choose it myself. I remember there are a few things in the inventory that are quite suitable for you." The system didn't take Gu Shi's refusal to heart at all and started to think on its own.

When the system mentioned Zhang Bei and the others, Gu Shi suddenly remembered something.

After Zhang Bei wakes up, Gu Shi will definitely go to see him. When the time comes, he must remember to tell him not to reveal his identity to others.

Although many people in the rescue team had seen his face after the incident, Gu Shi believed that as long as he mentioned it, someone would definitely take care of it.

Gu Shi doesn't want to be famous.

For a major event like this, the authorities would definitely release a lot of news. As the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. Gu Shi didn't want to be treated like a rare animal every time he went out.

Besides, everything he did this time was hidden from Gu's parents. If they knew that he had secretly done such a dangerous thing, Gu Shi would be finished!

Gu Shi couldn't help but tremble at the thought of being beaten into a mixed doubles match by Gu's father and mother.

This is bloodline suppression! Even with Gu Shi's current strength, a hundred Gu fathers and Gu mothers combined would not be able to break his defense, but how could he dare to open the elemental shield when facing his parents? The best solution is to honestly take the beating.

Therefore, in order to avoid this possible "domestic violence scene", the best way is to nip any possibility of being discovered in the bud.

Thinking of this, Gu Shi suddenly felt that it would be better to go back early, at least to show up in front of Gu's father and mother.

"There shouldn't be anything for me to do next, right? System, can you send me back first?" Gu Shi asked directly.

The system snapped out of its chaotic thoughts and replied, "No problem."

Gu Shi asked again: "Oh, by the way, which hospital was that place just now? I want to pick a time to visit them later."

The system explained, "That's a hospital in a military base. It's quite remote. Even if I tell you the address, you won't be able to get in. Just contact me directly when the time comes, and I'll send you there through the portal."

Gu Shi was just about to say that this wasn't a good idea. After all, if the system sent him there, others would definitely discover through the portal that he had an unusual relationship with the system.

But then he thought again, his special connection with the system had already been exposed during his meeting with Zhang Bei and the others. So why should he be so cautious now?

Gu Shi agreed immediately, "Okay, thank you for your help."

The system directly opened a portal in Gu Shi's room. As soon as he walked out, he heard the voices of Gu's father and mother chatting and laughing in the living room.

So happy? What are you talking about?

Gu Shi was a little curious. He took two steps forward and just as he opened the door, he was knocked back two steps by a strong force.

"Shufeng!" Gu's father and mother exclaimed.

Gu Shi reached out his hand to support Shu Feng who had hit his chest, "Ahem, you're really rude. I was almost knocked down by you."

As Gu Shi spoke, he reached out and ruffled Shufeng's feathers.

Shufeng didn't care at all about his neat feathers being ruffled. Instead, he quite enjoyed Gu Shi's enthusiastic service and even made a coquettish little chirp in his throat.
