As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...
Yue Jiuli couldn't get any information from the big crow, so she had no choice but to go back and see the big bug herself.
"Holy crap! That's outrageous! Is it insane?!"
When Yue Jiuli returned to the bamboo forest and saw that it was almost completely destroyed, she was extremely shocked!
All I could see was that all the bamboo in the entire bamboo forest had been broken, and there were traces of reptiles crawling on the ground, as well as many pits and hollows. This was probably what the big crow meant when it said that big insects could burrow into the soil.
When Yue Jiuli returned to the bamboo forest, the large insect was gone, and only some small crows were flying around in the sky.
"How could this happen? Oh my god! Where's that big bug? I'm going to kill it!"
Yue Jiuli was also furious. Although the destruction of the bamboo forest did not affect her much, she had lived here for so long and it was practically her home. The sudden destruction of her home made her very angry!
"Wow! Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're finally back!"
A talking crow, seeing the big crow return, immediately flew to its side and cawed loudly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you're too late! That big bug has already run away. It said it couldn't find any spirit bamboo here, so it ran off!"
"What kind of spirit bamboo is it? Which direction is it running in? Tell me quickly!"
Yue Jiuli asked the little crow, "It's such a pity that the bamboo forest is destroyed like this. Fortunately, it's still early and no one is coming to the bamboo forest yet, so Yue Jiuli took advantage of the fact that no one was around and quickly used magic to restore the bamboo forest to its original state. She also infused the broken bamboo with spiritual power so that it could be repaired and returned to its original state."
"Damn it, luckily my cultivation level has recovered to about 70-80% recently, otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to repair the bamboo forest."
Yue Jiuli looked at the bamboo forest with a pained expression and said, "Tell me quickly, what happened? Where's the big bug?!"
"That big bug suddenly popped out of the ground, which gave us all quite a fright."
After circling the bamboo grove once, the large crow began to recount what had happened: "Its body is very large, and it moves very quickly. It suddenly appeared before we could react, and part of the bamboo grove was turned upside down. We couldn't stop it, and that's when I thought of coming to find you and bring you back."
After the big crow finished speaking, the little crow continued, "Yes, yes, that's right. But after our king went out to look for you, when I followed it, I seemed to hear it say something about spirit bamboo, and that eating spirit bamboo would cure you. Bamboo spirit, do you think the spirit bamboo it was talking about could be you?"
Hearing this, the big crow also turned to look at Yue Jiuli. It flapped its wings and looked at Yue Jiuli, saying, "Spirit Bamboo? Could it really be looking for you? There have been no other bamboo spirits in this bamboo forest besides you, and no other bamboo can gain sentience. So the Spirit Bamboo it mentioned is very likely you. In addition, you were not in the bamboo forest at the time, so it left without finding the Spirit Bamboo."
The big crow and the little crow were talking around Yue Jiuli. Other crows that couldn't speak also came over. They couldn't speak, but they would echo the big and little crows' speculations with their cawing.
"Tsk~ So what if it's me? I'm Lingzhu, and it's gone now. I just want to know where it went?"
Hearing the constant cawing from the bamboo forest, Yue Jiuli was thoroughly annoyed. She glared at the crows and said, "Shut up! It's so noisy!"
"Oh, it ran away. It broke all the bamboo and then burrowed into the ground and ran away. You came back too late; it had already run away."
The little crow said regretfully.
Yue Jiuli heard from the little crow that the big bug burrows underground, so she circled around the bamboo forest. In the end, she found that there was very little trace of the big bug, so she gave up on tracking it. Since the big bug burrows underground, and she wasn't a bug, she couldn't burrow underground and couldn't catch it.
Yue Jiuli sighed as she looked at the bamboo forest with her hands on her hips, "Sigh~ It seems I can't catch up. I can't burrow into the ground, so I can only let it go. But luckily, the bamboo can still be repaired, otherwise it would be a pity for this bamboo forest."
The big crow chimed in, "Yeah, sigh... I just don't know if it'll come back next time."
"If it dares to come again, I'll definitely kill it!"
Upon hearing the crow's words, Yue Jiuli said fiercely, "Next time you see it, you must come find me as soon as possible!"
