Chapter 84: Behind the Waterfall
"Senior Sister is awake!" Xi Jing was the first to notice.
She forced her voice to calm down: "What happened?"
Han Yueshan looked at her seriously and said, "No, I'm just hungry."
Tao Zi was silent for a long time. His serious look almost made her think that something big had happened.
"There's nothing I can do about it. Just bear with it for now."
She struggled to sit up and looked towards the cave entrance: "What is that?"
Zhao Xue quickly answered: "It's the spiritual weapon given to me by Senior Yue."
Spiritual weapon?
Tao Zi took another look at it. It was a third-grade spiritual weapon. Yue Qingya was as generous as ever.
In the world of cultivating immortals, tools are divided into four major levels, namely divine tools, immortal tools, spiritual tools and magic tools, each with grades from one to nine.
There are not many third-grade spiritual weapons in a sect like Minglan Sect, but they are very good for independent cultivators, even if Yue Qingya is only a Nascent Soul.
This is why so many cultivators want to join large sects, it’s all for the resources.
After she felt better, she immediately went out to ambush those lone monsters.
Zhao Xue and the others wanted to give her the spiritual weapon, but were rejected: "I feel more at ease if I leave this spiritual weapon with you."
When she came back, she found three people squatting at the entrance of the cave, each one staring out with more eager eyes than the other. They looked extremely hungry, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at the monster she dragged back, the three of them froze for a moment, then they touched their stomachs tacitly, gritted their teeth and reached out to pull the meat.
...I can't pull it.
Tao Zi suppressed a smile and said, "No rush."
Han Yueshan looked at the hairy yellow meat and clenched his fist: "Senior Sister, we are not in a hurry, really."
Tao Zi slowly and methodically removed the hair, then cut off the dead skin along the veins, and finally cut it into pieces.
After all this operation, the food looks a little better.
Xi Jing tried to pick up a small piece and put it in her mouth.
Huh? It tasted surprisingly okay. Not as good as normal food, but definitely better than the two times I had it before.
Han Yueshan and the others saw Xi Jing's expression and followed suit.
Tao Zi explained as she ate, "The monsters here are generally stronger than the ones before, and their meat is generally better. This meat has no effect on cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage, but it can be more or less useful to you."
Zhao Xue asked hesitantly, "It shouldn't be useful if taken in the short term, right?"
"Don't worry, we'll eat it for at least half a year."
The three of them looked at her blankly.
She looked at them and suddenly remembered what Han Yueshan had said before. After thinking for a while, she said, "If you want to go out, I can send you out and come back when I ensure your safety."
Han Yueshan immediately shook his head and refused: "No, that's not necessary, Senior Sister, we will stay here."
Xi Jing and the others nodded: "That's right, Senior Sister, we will follow you."
"OK."
After resting, she took Han Yueshan and others to the west and arrived there safely.
When they arrived at their destination, Han Yueshan and the others all smelled bad, and Tao Zi was no exception.
Xi Jing is the one who can't stand it the most, but this is the only way to avoid the smell of those monsters to the greatest extent.
She led them to a dense forest.
Zhao Xue looked at the density of the trees and felt his scalp tingle. This was probably the place where the trees were closest to each other in the entire forest.
After Han Yueshan finished pointing at the gap, he said with a wry smile, "Senior Sister, I don't think I can get through."
She pointed upwards: "The branches are sparse up there, let's go through there."
"ah?"
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them were lying on the tree in various strange postures, moving in little by little.
Tao Zi had circled around them three times and rescued them several times.
Watching them move around bit by bit, he said helplessly: "We can just jump over and go straight over, no need to take a detour."
Zhao Xue carefully moved to where the branches were thick and dense, and shook his head: "No, the gaps here are too big, I dare not jump."
The three of them looked down at the ant-like monsters below in fear. Not long ago, they saw with their own eyes that a branch the size of an arm fell and was eaten up by them. The whole process took less than a second.
How could I dare to jump? What if my senior sister fails to catch me, at least half of my body will be gone.
"Senior Sister, they really won't climb up?"
"No, these trees are restraining them. They can't get out of this dense forest. Even if they climb up, they can only get halfway. As long as you don't fall down, there will be no problem."
Han Yueshan bravely jumped, and his body swayed under the nervous gaze of the two people behind him, but fortunately he finally stabilized.
Xi Jing also jumped a little with the help of her senior brother: "Senior sister, from what you said, these trees are protecting us?"
"The purpose of these trees being here is to protect the human race."
"It sounds good." The three of them sighed.
Afterwards, it took them almost an hour to complete the journey.
The first thing they did after jumping down from the tree was to get away from the dense forest, and only then did they have the leisure to look around.
“So beautiful!”
Xi Jing looked at the place with sparkling eyes. There was a green meadow, a stream, and scattered trees, which formed a sharp contrast with the dense forest surrounding them.
Zhao Xue said in surprise: "There's actually a stream!"
"Then can we drink water? I've been going crazy these past few days chewing on those random plants to quench my thirst."
Xi Jing sniffed herself and said depressedly, "I'd rather take a shower."
Seeing that the senior sister didn't say anything, they didn't dare to go to the stream.
Zhao Xue squatted beside the grass and sighed, "This grass is actually green, not dark."
Han Yueshan said quietly, "Don't act like you've never seen anything like this before. Don't forget, grass is naturally green."
"But the plants in this forest are either black, brown, gray, or something like that. Green is really rare."
Tao Zi looked towards one place.
Xi Jing asked doubtfully, "Senior Sister, is this dangerous?"
The other two also looked over. They remembered that their senior sister said that this place was the safest place in the entire Dayless Forest and there were basically no monsters.
Tao Zi said: "If there are people, there will be danger."
They walked west along the stream, and gradually, the sound of bombardment appeared.
Finally, a waterfall appeared before them.
Tao Zi looked at the waterfall with deep eyes.
It's no secret that there are medicinal herbs suitable for physical cultivation in the west of the Dayless Forest, but most people choose to bypass the dense forest and go to the wrong place. Even if they come here by chance, they will only think that this is a safe place to rest.
Some even suspected that this place was created by the Minglan Sect's Punishment Hall - almost all newcomers to the Punishment Hall have to go here.
What those people didn't realize was that the real medicinal material was behind the waterfall.
