Chapter 36: Picking up a treasure chest and parting ways



"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we would have died in there."

A girl walked over and thanked Shen Zhiyi and the others.

"It's okay, we're friends now that we've met." Chen Yu scratched his head and smiled shyly.

"I still have to thank you." The girl smiled at Chen Yu and then returned to her team.

After staying there for a while, those people left.

Shen Zhiyi suggested, "How about we go in and try our luck? See if we can find any treasures?"

“I think it’s a good idea. This Ghost Face Tree probably won’t recover anytime soon, so it’s a good time to go in and pick up the scraps.” Chen Peng agreed with Shen Zhiyi’s idea.

Chen Yu and the others naturally had no objections and followed Shen Zhiyi and the other two into the Ghost Face Tree Forest again.

To prevent any accidents, they still brought along the ghost-faced flower, just in case.

After recovering outside, the giant python followed and coiled itself around Shen Zhiyi's shoulder.

The forest of Ghost Face Trees was in complete disarray, with fallen trees and broken vines everywhere.

A whole bunch of black insects died too.

After they went inside, the Ghost-Faced Tree didn't make a sound.

"This is terrifying. If we hadn't escaped in time, the outcome would probably have been even worse," Chen Yu exclaimed.

Shen Zhiyi didn't pay attention to what Chen Yu said; she seemed to hear some kind of sound, the mournful cry of some creature before its death.

"Brother Peng, did you hear that sound?"

Chen Peng listened carefully for a moment, then shook his head. "No, what's wrong?"

Shen Zhiyi was puzzled. Was she the only one who heard it?

"Chen Yu, didn't you hear that?" Shen Zhiyi looked at Chen Yu and the others.

Several boys shook their heads in unison, "No."

"Sister, are you hallucinating?" Chen Yu asked.

Shen Zhiyi seemed to be thinking, "I guess so."

He then stopped paying attention to the matter and focused on finding something to eat in the Ghost Face Tree forest.

Finally, Shen Zhiyi found five blue treasure chests and seven green treasure chests in the Ghost Face Tree forest.

Chen Peng's number is about the same.

Chen Yu and the others wandered around aimlessly, carrying only two or three green treasure chests.

After leaving the Ghost Face Tree forest, Chen Yu and the others looked at what they had in their hands, then at what Shen Zhiyi and Chen Peng had in their hands, and fell silent.

[Notes*3, Mineral Water*4, Mutant Bananas*2, Water Poria*1, Nebula Fragments*3, Map Fragments*1, Broken Token*1.]

[Water Poria Seeds*5, Low-Grade Star Soil*1, Medium-Grade Star Soil*1, Blueprint*1, Sunburst Cloud Armor*1.]

Aside from water, almost everything that came out of the vault was something I'd never seen before.

The mutated banana was the same one that was returned to the monkey troop last time.

Low-grade star soil is one grade higher than ordinary star soil, and the same applies to medium-grade star soil.

[Water Poria: One of the raw materials for making mercurochrome; it can be cultivated and grows near water.]

Shen Zhiyi restored the damaged token using the "Turning Trash into Treasure" technique.

[The Sea God's Decree: Seeing this decree is like seeing the Sea God. You may make any request to the Sea God's followers; of course, the Sea God's followers also have the right to refuse.]

【Sunlit Cloud Armor: Silver-grade armor, upgradable. Defense: 50, Durability: 300.】

There were still blueprints and notes that hadn't been checked. Shen Zhiyi looked at the blueprints first; they were blueprints for a pharmaceutical manufacturing station.

Shen Zhiyi thought to herself, "After coming to the island, I've almost collected everything I need."

[Pharmacy Workbench: Can create various medicines; simply add the corresponding medicinal materials. Requires Heavenly Spirit Fire. Materials needed: 10 Plastic, 5 Star Stones, 10 Adhesive, 20 Iron Blocks, 2 Golden Jade Purple Clay, 2 Space Stones.]

This left Shen Zhiyi speechless. She understood all these materials, but what was this "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire"? Did they need spiritual fire to make medicine?

Shen Zhiyi felt like cursing for a moment.

What's the point of making medicine this way! Might as well just die.

I took a deep breath and patiently continued reading the note.

The Ghost-Faced Tree must not be cut down! Cutting it down will endanger us! The Ghost-Faced Tree is our people's hope for survival!

[What! The goddess is actually the sea god... No! Impossible! How could the sea god betray the sea!]

[The sea god is in the Peacock Forest? Is this true? No, I have to go see for myself, to see if it's true!]

Chen Peng only had a note in his hand.

The altar used for prayer is there... Through it, one could speak everything to the sea god, but can the sea god still respond to us now?

Chen Yu and his group did not have any notes.

"Now that we're out, let's go our separate ways."

After resting for a while, Shen Zhiyi brought up the matter.

When they came out of the Ghost Face Tree forest, Shen Zhiyi was thinking about this, but she didn't know how to say it.

But we'll have to go our separate ways eventually, and dragging it out won't do any good. After hesitating for a while, I finally spoke up.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

Liu Minyi initially found it boring. He was about to start a conversation, but after Shen Zhiyi's words, he didn't dare to say a word.

Chen Yu paused for a moment; in fact, they didn't want to be separated from Shen Zhiyi.

It wasn't for the food, nor for that sense of security; Chen Yu only knew that following them was the right decision.

However, it was agreed from the beginning that all we had to do was lead them out of the Ghost Face Tree forest.

Now that things are out, it's definitely time to separate.

Chen Yu forced an extremely awkward smile. "Okay, we'll pack up and give you the payment."

But Shen Zhiyi shook her head, "No need, you boys don't have much on you, keep it for yourselves. Besides, I never really wanted your things in the first place."
