Chapter 64: Devil Crow
Later, the sacred tree replaced the branch with a new one where no small creatures lived, and then it took the two of them in.
"Teacher, class monitor, come on, come on, sit down, I'll get you something to eat." Ji Ruo happily greeted the two people who had confused faces.
How did this end?
Gu Xingzhou thought that a large number of these tree monsters would die, but unexpectedly... it seems that quite a few of them died.
Aunt Quetzalcoatl tilted her head slightly and straightened out her messy feathers - she was also injured, but it was still within the tolerable range.
Although there were many wounds on his body, this level of wounds was considered very light among demons.
The mountain god said, "I still need to harmonize the earth's veins, so I can't make that clay pot for the time being."
At this moment, the entire mountain top is covered with ice and snow, and the ground veins are becoming more and more chaotic. If it is not dealt with in time, it will not take long for it to affect the entire Wanshou Mountain.
The earth-turning dragon is the "child" of the Wanshou Mountain's earth veins. Its death caused small-scale geological changes in the entire Wanshou Mountain.
Now, its corpse, which was supposed to be eaten by demons, has returned to its original state. However, due to the lack of some necessary things, although the corpse is still active, it is already truly dead.
The recovered corpse triggered the "sorrowful sound" of the earth veins. If left unchecked, this "sorrowful sound" would cause all the creatures in the secret realm of the Mountain of Ten Thousand Beasts to follow suit.
"Jiu~ (Little Jiruo, there are eggshells left behind by rock dragon lizards in my nest. How about I get them for you?)"
"Okay, okay, thank you, Auntie."
Aunt Fengshen Falcon flapped her wings and flew away. Dabao and Erbao were caught by Ji Ruo and became strong. At a young age, they flapped their wings and started working as "chef apprentices" - helping to cut meat.
Gu Xingzhou was silent for a moment, then asked, "Student Ji Ruo, can you tell the teacher what just happened?"
"Yes, Ji Ruo, tell me quickly, what happened just now? Why does it seem that your relationship with these tree monsters...brothers has become better?"
"Well," Ji Ruo scratched his head, "I made an agreement with them that when I return, I will find a way to get them a lot of fertilizer. They are very happy, so this is what happened."
Gu Xingzhou was stunned for a moment: "Fertilizer... Fertilizer?"
"Yes!" Ji Ruo nodded, counting on his fingers, and said, "I have made an agreement with the mountain god, Grandpa Mu, that if I have the chance in the future, I will bring them fertilizer from Daxia, and they can exchange it with me for spiritual fruits... By the way, teacher, can you contact the person in charge of this matter? Grandpa Mu, the mountain god, said that after it controls the veins of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, we in Daxia can use fertilizer to exchange spiritual fruits with them, or ask them to help grow food... They are very professional in planting."
Gu Xingzhou opened his mouth wide: "You, you made a deal with the monster?"
"It's an agreement." Ji Ruozhen said.
"But they are monsters, you..."
Gu Xingzhou certainly knew how Daxia got its "territory" in the secret realm of Wanshou Mountain.
The secret realm martial arts examination system is indeed effective, but this accident also proves that demons cannot be trusted.
This "trial field" will definitely be abandoned, and this martial arts test will be the last martial arts test in the secret realm.
"I know." Ji Ruo grinned and said, "Don't worry, teacher. I have made an agreement with the mountain god, Master Mu!"
"Pin...your promise?" Gu Xingzhou couldn't keep up with Ji Ruo's train of thought.
"Don't worry, teacher. It will be okay. Trust me."
Gu Xingzhou felt mixed emotions as he looked at the smile on Ji Ruo's face that came from the heart.
He suddenly felt a little envious of Ji Ruo. If only he could be so happy...
The boy didn't worry at all about breaking his promise.
It would be good if Gu Xingzhou agrees. Even if he doesn't agree, when Ji Ruo returns to Da Xia, he can take a rest to recover his strength and use the universal mirror to open a portal under the school's septic tank... If he doesn't have enough strength, then the Mountain God Tree can only wait for a while.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Squad leader, come and help us. Let's have a good meal and go back."
Liang Shixian glanced at Gu Xingzhou, hesitated for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and ran over: "Here I come!"
Looking at the two busy children, Gu Xingzhou was in a trance for a moment.
The secret realm martial arts examination system is really too cruel. Although the martial arts examination is non-compulsory, many students still die in this mountain of beasts every year... Those students can obviously grow up more healthily and happily!
Little Rosie got a beehive from somewhere. The honeycomb was golden and attractive. A large group of bees were chasing little Rosie up and down.
“Meow meow meow~ (Master, master! Help! These bees are biting me to death!)”
Ji Ruo picked up Rosie and sincerely apologized to the group of bees. Then, with the help of the tree demon where the bees originally lived, the bees forgave Rosie and were willing to share the honey they had worked so hard to collect.
Gu Xingzhou suddenly felt it was a bit absurd. This child...is he so socially skilled?
He had noticed Rosie a long time ago, but didn't care much.
Although he had encountered a cat demon before, and had even seen it "eat people" with his own eyes.
In Gu Xingzhou's view, the changes in the geological conditions of Wanshou Mountain are closely related to the cat demon.
But he never doubted Rosie.
First of all, Rosie is too weak. Secondly, Rosie is a black cat, while the previous cat demon was white.
Secondly, the white cat had obviously reached adulthood, while Rosie was still a larva.
The two cats didn't even match in size... Gu Xingzhou had never heard of any demon that had the ability to change its own growth stage.
Maybe, but it definitely won't be a cat.
So Gu Xingzhou didn't think much about it. He thought that the white cat had been injured before it met him, and then he hit it on the head. I'm afraid it won't survive...
After taking a look at the mountain sacred tree that was harmonizing the earth's veins, and the tree monsters in front of him who were happily finding places to reroot, Gu Xingzhou fell silent.
This time... apart from saving thousands of students with his strong mobility when the martial arts exam just started, it seems like he did nothing!
After discovering the traces of Ji Ruo and others, without going into details, he self-destructed five star wheels in the process, but the five star wheels he self-destructed did not seem to provide much help to Ji Ruo and others.
Gu Xingzhou suddenly felt that this time he came to the top of the mountain, it seemed like... he was here to set off firecrackers?
We have to do something!
Gu Xingzhou thought about it and took a deep breath.
The damage to the meridians and star signs in the body was quite serious. It would be a lie to say that it was not painful, but Gu Xingzhou did not say so.
He walked towards Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian.
"Children, you want to grill meat with honey, right? Let the teacher help you brush the honey..."
"Yes, yes!"
The addition of Gu Xingzhou allowed the three of them to be so close to each other for the first time after they all arrived at the main battlefield.
Aunt Fengshen Falcon went back to her nest to find a replacement for the pot, Shanshenmu was busy harmonizing the earth's veins, the perception abilities of ordinary tree monsters were ridiculously weak, Gu Xingzhou, the strongest of the three, was seriously injured, and Ji Ruo would not be able to fight again in the short term...
The timing is great!
No one noticed that the snow beside the three people suddenly shook slightly, and a faint black shadow moved through it, and the long-hidden murderous intent suddenly appeared!
"Meow~ (Master!)"
Luo Xi rushed towards Ji Ruo without thinking.
Ji Ruo was stunned for a moment, and in an instant his entire vision was covered by dense black feathers that emerged from the snow.
The previous sword strike had consumed too much energy, and he had not yet recovered, so his reaction was a little slow.
The long-hidden Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow finally revealed its figure, with infinite murderous intent, and came towards Ji Ruosha with a devilish smile.
Endless crow feathers flew through like sharp blades, enveloping the three of them, and arrived in an instant!
The first to bear the brunt is Ji Ruo!
After killing these three human warriors and collecting the bodies of its former allies, it fled. The Mountain God Tree could not catch up with it at all!
In this battle, it is the biggest winner!
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow almost laughed out loud. This wave was a huge profit!
“Chiu~ (Master, be careful!)”
Dabao and Erbao were controlling the wind and thunder. They were originally beside Ji Ruo, and now they were blocking in front of Ji Ruo.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through flesh was heard. Dabao and Erbao's extremely hard and sharp feathers were powerless to block the sound and were torn into pieces by the crow feathers.
But they also block some.
"Meow! (Don't hurt my master!)"
Rosie screamed, and an indiscriminate and strong malice suddenly burst out from her whole body. Ji Ruo was in a trance and almost wanted to raise his hand to slap Rosie twice.
Fortunately, the strong malice disappeared instantly and did not last long.
However, more than 90% of the crows changed their attack trajectory and turned towards Rosie.
Dense black crow feathers pierced into Rosie's body, as if turning her into a hedgehog. Rosie screamed.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow was a little surprised, but since things had come to this point, there was no way to stop.
It caught everyone by surprise, and although it all seemed to happen, it actually happened in a flash.
It’s not that the Crow is slow, but that Rosie and Dabao and Erbao react too quickly!
The seriously injured Gu Xingzhou hasn't reacted yet!
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow knew that now was not the time to hesitate. Although more than 90% of the crow feathers were blocked by Luo Qian, Da Bao and Er Bao, but——
Crow feathers, two left!
It’s enough to kill these three humans!
It had just observed carefully and found that Ji Ruo was already exhausted, Gu Xingzhou was seriously injured, and Liang Shixian was so weak that he could be almost ignored.
And the truth is just as it appears.
Ji Ruo had consumed too much energy and Gu Xingzhou's condition was also very bad. The two people who were able to resist were unable to resist at this moment.
Among the three, only Liang Shixian had no consumption and no injuries, and was in full condition.
But in the end, he was just a martial artist.
He reacted, but his body couldn't keep up.
The Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow was overjoyed. Although there were some unexpected events during this raid, it was still within the tolerable range!
"Bo~"
Inexplicably, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Crow seemed to hear some strange noises.
What is that sound?
It was slightly confused.
"Iron! Cloth! Shirt!"
…
