Chapter 173: Training in the Mountains (End)
Wang Xing looked at the vines wrapping around him and stepped back in fear.
But the vines quickly wrapped around his ankles, and then the tip of the vines carefully pierced into his swollen area.
The tip of the needle caused a slight stinging sensation, but the swelling on the ankle was visibly subsiding.
After about ten minutes, Wang Xing's ankle had recovered and the vines wrapped around him were retracted.
He moved his feet and found no other discomfort except a slight soreness.
He bent down and rubbed the red and swollen area with his hands again, and it was really gone!
His ankle has really recovered!
Wang Xing happily stood up and jumped twice, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"Can we leave now?"
Xiao Man finally removed the poison from his feet, and she and the locust tree spirit both breathed a sigh of relief.
The locust tree spirit pulled her behind him and asked Zhang Ling'er and the others with a wary look in his eyes.
Zhang Ling'er and the others first looked at Qing Yanrou who was standing at the edge. Seeing that she did not express anything, they spoke:
"sure."
After all, they are practicing seriously and are not involved in any cause and effect. Now that the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, they can of course leave if they want to.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that the two of them had received the accurate information but were still standing there, the people from Xuanmen were a little puzzled.
"Is it true that only the original prototype of that banyan tree monster remains?"
The locust tree spirit asked repeatedly with some uncertainty.
"Yes, his real body is standing right in the middle of the forest. You can go and have a look."
Seeing the struggle and fear on their faces, the others were very confused.
"Did anything happen between you?"
The cultivation level of this locust tree spirit is obviously slightly better than that of the banyan tree spirit. What's wrong with him?
"To be honest, we used to live deep in the forest, but we had to come out two hundred years ago."
When the locust tree spirit said this, his green face, which was full of blue veins, showed a hint of unwillingness and helplessness.
"Why did you move out?"
"Because of the banyan tree monster, his cultivation level was not as high as mine before, but later he kept devouring humans and monsters in the forest whose cultivation level was not as high as his."
"For a long time, although my cultivation level seemed to be similar to his, it was actually not as good as his."
The banyan tree spirit had evil intentions. In order to increase his cultivation, he secretly devoured those spirits whose cultivation was not as good as his.
The only person who could stop him, the locust tree spirit, didn't notice it at first, and by the time he found out, it was already too late.
Xiao Man was the only monster he rescued from the banyan tree monster.
The two fought a fierce battle and both sides were injured. For Xiaoman's future safety, he took the initiative to take Xiaoman out of the depths of the forest and to the outskirts of the forest.
As the banyan tree spirit's cultivation became more and more advanced, there was simply not enough spiritual energy outside the forest, so his cultivation stagnated.
They were afraid that one day the banyan tree spirit would come out and devour them both, grandfather and grandson.
But unexpectedly, he was completely killed at this time, leaving only an ordinary pine tree.
"Don't worry, go back. He has completely disappeared."
Zhang Linger knew the whole story and spoke to them in a gentle tone.
"Thanks."
The locust tree spirit took Xiao Man and thanked the two of them, then walked towards the depths of the forest.
They can finally go back inside again.
——
"Then let's go back. Yu'er is already very sleepy."
After the locust tree spirit and his grandson walked away, everyone looked at the little guy who was sleeping soundly in Chu Tingbai's arms, and then they prepared to return to the cave.
"Master, can we join you?"
After experiencing such a thrilling night, Qian Dayuan and his three companions did not dare to return to the cave they had been in before.
They just want to follow the Xuan people and try to gain some sense of security from them.
"But we don't have any extra tents."
"It's okay, it's okay. We'll just stay here by the fire for the night and go back tomorrow morning."
Qian Dayuan said quickly that they just wanted to go home now and never wanted to come to these deep mountains and forests again.
They actually sat outside by the fire all night.
Even though the people from Xuanmen specially cleared out a tent for them, they didn't feel comfortable going in.
The next morning, as soon as the sun rose, they couldn't wait to say goodbye to them and leave the mountain.
"Then are we still staying here?"
Last night, they learned from the locust tree spirit that all the monsters in the mountain had been eaten by the banyan tree spirit, and now only the grandfather and his grandson are left.
"There is such good spiritual energy here. It would be very good for you to practice and stay for a few more days."
"good."
In this way, they stayed in the mountains for a total of five days before returning.
"Little ancestor, don't cry. I'll bring you to play with Sister Xiaoman when I have time, okay?"
Zhang Yu'er, who was held in Zhang Ling'er's arms, kept sobbing.
It's nothing, it's just that this little guy has been playing with the vine spirit frequently in the past few days, and has developed an attachment to it, and now he doesn't want to go back.
"Why can't Sister Xiaoman go back with us?"
Zhang Yuer said sadly while wiping her tears.
"Sister Xiaoman needs to practice and stay with Grandpa Huaishu, so she can't go back with us. Can we come back later?"
Zhang Linger coaxed the little one gently for a long time before he stopped crying.
"Sister Xiaoman, I'll come and play with you again later."
"Okay, Yu'er."
Xiao Man has not yet cultivated her human form, and can only use her local skills to transform into a human who is taller than Zhang Yuer.
Hearing that Zhang Yuer would come to play with her in the future, she tilted her head and replied with a smile very happily.
After the two of them said goodbye reluctantly, Qing Yanrou and her group started to leave the mountain and return to the Taoist sect.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
They had just come out of the mountain and their cell phones had just started to receive a signal when Qing Yanrou's phone started ringing non-stop.
She took it out and saw that it was a message from their dormitory group, full of messages @ her.
Looking at the bright red 99+, her finger paused for a moment, but then she had no choice but to click in to take a look.
Did you see what @卿小柔柔柔's homeroom teacher said in the group chat?
[Rou Rou went into the mountains. There's no cell phone signal, so she definitely can't see it.]
What about this field trip? I wonder if Rourou can participate.
Collecting folk songs?
Qing Yanrou frowned slightly. Isn't it summer vacation? Why is the school assigning tasks again?
She exited the group chat and clicked into the class group to check the group announcement.
Dear students, to prepare for the new courses next semester, the class committee has decided to go to Majuhe Township, T City, for a field trip from August 1st to 8th. Please inform yourselves and gather at the school gate at 8:00 AM on the 1st. (Note: Students from T City may go on their own and gather at their destination.)
She stepped out and saw that tomorrow was August 1st. This holiday was really packed with things to do.
