Chapter 83 If it were me, I would have killed even more than you...
Almost as soon as the Taotie and Suanni caught a whiff of blood, Granny Taili on the tree instantly appeared before them.
She was tall and imposing, and with a mere wave of her sleeve, she exuded an aura that seemed to hold the entire world in her grasp.
In the blink of an eye, a strong smell of blood exploded in front of Xiao Jiu and the others.
"what happened!"
"What's wrong!"
"What happened?!"
Surrounded by the crowd, Xie Chuanfeng was stunned for a moment before saying succinctly, "Fuyu and I are fine; it's these demonic beasts that are injured."
Fu Yu, who was a step behind Xie Chuanfeng, didn't say much, but quickly enlarged and opened his leather vessel.
Dozens of monsters of varying sizes appeared in front of them in an instant.
The wounds on those monsters were horrifying, and blood was still oozing out.
The system immediately poured out a bunch of topical medications from the warehouse, and everyone rushed forward to help without even asking questions.
These demonic beasts are different from Suanni and Fuyu. They are just ordinary demonic beasts such as wolves, tigers, rabbits, and deer. They can't even be considered cultivators; at most, they have only gained sentience.
What's even more distressing is that they were all cubs.
Boxes of ointment and powder were poured on, and the wounds on these little monsters stopped bleeding instantly.
Although the bleeding had stopped, the little monsters still showed no signs of waking up, and even let out soft cries of pain.
As a spirit, Xiao Xue's intelligence was only at the level of a three- or four-year-old human child. He didn't know what to do and could only anxiously circle around the wounded cubs.
"Mimi, mimi".
Xiao Jiu ran over and patted it reassuringly: "Xiao Xue, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Xiao Jiu was also very anxious. He subconsciously asked the system, "System, what should we do?"
The system lived up to expectations. After quickly scanning the data, it immediately said, "These monsters' wounds contain a lot of residual foreign energy. Clean them out!"
As cultivators, Qian Chuan and Xie Chuanfeng understood immediately.
Human cultivators injured them with spiritual power or magical artifacts, and these demonic beasts had no spiritual power to protect them, so they were constantly being corroded by those attacks.
And the best way to wash away these things is, of course, the pure energy of Moon Spring.
Qianchuan quickly grabbed a spring of water from the nearby river.
Then, Granny Tai Li, Fu Yu, Xie Chuanfeng, and Qian Chuan worked together to clean the wounds of the young monsters, which still had weapons or debris stuck in them.
Xiao Jiu knew she couldn't clean the wound, so she didn't go over. Instead, she and the system used the remaining flowers in the warehouse to synthesize something.
Once the foreign objects in the little monsters' wounds were cleaned and their fur was washed off, the synthesized topical medicine immediately took effect.
In just a few seconds, the little monster's wounds healed completely at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The system finished the scan: "Vital signs are normal, bioenergy is stable, everything is fine."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Yu, completely exhausted, fell backward and landed hard on his bottom.
Qian Chuan reached out, grabbed his wrist, and used his spiritual power to probe into his meridians.
Qian Chuan frowned and turned directly to the system, saying, "System, could you please bring out a few more medicines to replenish spiritual energy?"
The system did as instructed.
Xiao Jiu squatted down in front of Fu Yu, deftly opening the bottle cap and handing him the medicine.
Fu Yu was exhausted. It wasn't until he drank several bottles of light pink medicine that he finally came to his senses.
Judging from his appearance, it's fortunate that it's nighttime, otherwise Fuyu would probably have already transformed into a fish.
Xie Chuanfeng patted Fuyu on the shoulder: "You take a rest, I'll talk to you."
Fu Yu didn't try to be brave; he just sat on the ground and continued drinking the medicine to replenish his spiritual energy.
Xie Chuanfeng and Fuyu have gone to that other world again.
This is the third time Xie Chuanfeng and Fu Yu have done this since the mutated flower started needing to be fed.
Although Fuyu said he wanted to get more "fertilizer" while the leather vessel was still usable, everyone knew he was worried about things in that world, so they didn't expose him.
Now that we have Grandma Tai Li and the system is much more powerful than before, it's not too difficult to create a spatial passage that can be opened temporarily.
When they went to that world twice before, Fuyu and Qianchuan moved very quickly. To Xiao Jiu and the others, it only took them about ten minutes to leave.
Upon returning, Fuyu would take out all sorts of strange and moving corpse parts from the leather container.
Everyone understood immediately.
—The monsters in that world were not completely eradicated.
After all, these monsters were not living beings, and each one was extremely cruel, so no one had any psychological barriers to using these corpses as "fertilizer".
Before this trip, Fuyu only said that this should be the last time they went there, and Suanni even joked that Fuyu shouldn't cry.
Unexpectedly, Fu Yu and Xie Chuanfeng's departure lasted for a full half day.
Xie Chuanfeng frowned deeply: "We calculated beforehand that the demons should have been completely weakened by the time we arrived, and that's exactly what happened, but..."
The human heart is always more terrifying than any demon.
When they had a common enemy, humans and monsters could coexist peacefully.
But now that monsters have almost disappeared from the entire continent, it should be a good time to rebuild our homes, but some humans are starting to become dissatisfied again.
They raised their weapons again.
This time, however, the blade was aimed at the back of a former ally.
“Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.”
That's what those humans said.
But what is the reality?
It's nothing more than their inherently inferior nature resurfacing, wanting to suppress these monsters in order to maintain the sense of superiority of the "human" species.
Of course, not all humans have such despicable thoughts, but the monsters have already exhausted their trust in humans.
A powerful demon cultivator shattered the void, abandoning his chance to ascend, and instead opened a passage to other worlds, leading the demons of those worlds away.
The world's energy is always in balance.
The spiritual energy concentration in that world was designed to accommodate powerful cultivators, but countless powerful beings had already perished in the previous battles against demons.
At this moment, the human race pulled another stunt, causing almost all the demon cultivators to withdraw from that continent.
As a result, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire world, and even the world's energy level, plummeted.
If there isn't enough spiritual energy, it's like blocking the path to immortality.
Now, let alone ascension, in a few hundred years, there won't even be any cultivators left.
But that's not all.
When that powerful demon cultivator led the demon race away, he did not notice that a very small number of demon beasts remained behind.
Some of them were seriously injured and unconscious, and were taken in and treated by mortals, while others were weak and were imprisoned by some cultivators with ulterior motives.
If there isn't enough spiritual energy, neither humans nor demons can cultivate.
This further exacerbated the conflict between humans and monsters.
The remaining monsters became a thorn in the side of humans. Some humans wanted to keep them as servants, while others regarded them as so-called "heavenly treasures".
While demonic beasts are indeed physically powerful, their numbers are few, making them no match for so many human cultivators.
Fu Yu's voice was cold: "When we got there, only these few children were left."
Xie Chuanfeng's eyes showed a hint of pity: "That giant doe used its own body to protect these little monsters, even though its body was hacked and pierced to pieces, it didn't budge an inch..."
Tigers, wolves, and leopards are supposed to eat rabbits and prey on deer, but at that time, the doe still protected the cubs of her natural enemies under her belly.
After learning that Fuyu would protect the children, tears streamed from her bloodied and mangled eyes.
Tears mingled with blood as her mangled body crashed heavily to the ground.
As Fu Yu was saying these words, Xiao Jiu stayed close to him, gently stroking Fu Yu's back with her little hand.
Fu Yu looked down at Xiao Jiu and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Xiao Jiu couldn't glean anything more from what Fu Yu said, so he believed him.
Having just used so many medicines, and with their stock almost depleted, Xiao Jiu and the system continued their synthesis.
So Xiao Jiu didn't know that the smile on Fu Yu's face vanished instantly the moment he turned around.
Suanni glanced at Fuyu and gently twitched the tip of its tail.
The temperature was low at night, and the little monsters, who were already weak, huddled together in the cold.
After discussing it, everyone decided to trouble Grandma Tai Li to skip the night.
At the moment of dawn and dusk, no matter how high his cultivation level is, Fu Yu, who is a Heng Gong fish, will still briefly transform into a fish and then into a human.
This time, Fuyu did not stay as he had in the past.
He was exhausted, so he went straight back to Moon Spring at the top of the mountain.
At this moment, there are still a few minutes until the agreed-upon time of dawn.
Just as Fuyu was about to jump into Moon Spring to wait for dawn, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"How are those humans doing?"
Fu Yu turned around and looked.
A small white blob appeared in his slightly shaky vision, and then he gradually made out the appearance of the newcomer.
It is a Suanni.
Ke Fuyu remained silent.
Suanni didn't mind and continued, "If I remember correctly, your current level is 60, right?"
Level 60 is equivalent to the early stage of Mahayana cultivation.
Since the cultivation path in that world has declined, it wouldn't be too difficult for Fuyu, a Mahayana stage expert, to kill all the cultivators in the entire world.
How could he be so tired?
Fu Yu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then gave a wry smile: "It seems... I still couldn't hide it from you."
After lowering his eyes and remaining silent for two seconds, he still did not answer the Suanni's initial question.
He only said, "I fed my blood to those little monsters."
Fu Yu said that he wasn't sure if he could carry these severely injured cubs through the time portal, so he directly fed them his own blood.
The blood of the Henggong fish has the effect of warding off evil spirits and calming the mind. With this protection, he then stuffed the little monsters into the leather vessel.
Fu Yu curled the corners of her lips: "Fortunately, it was a success."
The Suanni flicked its tail: "It's not just that, is it?"
He narrowed his eyes.
That leather vessel is so strange. Given Fu Yu's personality, how could he possibly rashly stuff those severely injured demon beasts into it?
Fu Yu must have made some prior attempts, or even conducted experiments.
As for the "materials" used in the experiment...
The Suanni said, "You killed all the humans who were hunting down the demon beasts, didn't you?"
Fu Yu only showed a surprised expression, his turquoise eyes wide open, as if to say: What are you talking about?
However--
When he used to make that expression, it was always with a hint of annoyance, his cheeks would turn slightly red, and his eyes would sparkle.
But now, those beautiful green eyes seem worn out, and inexplicably appear somewhat gloomy.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared on the horizon.
Without the aid of spiritual power, Fu Yu instantly turned into a red fish with a "bang".
He fell into Moon Lake, where nightingales and water lilies bloomed, and after glancing at the Suanni, he swam straight to the bottom of the lake.
The Suanni snorted.
Fu Yu looked exactly like someone who had just survived a perilous calamity.
For the Heavenly Dao of another world to impose such a severe "punishment," it must have been because something was done that would disrupt the world's energy balance.
— Fuyu is lying.
He did bleed, and he did kill.
Only a small part of Fuyu's injuries were caused by blood loss; the majority, it is estimated, were caused by severe internal injuries sustained after enduring the lightning tribulation.
Even after all this, Fuyu still deliberately pretended to be fine, trying to act as if nothing was wrong in front of everyone.
But it's estimated that every second he held on, his entire body was in excruciating pain.
The Suanni flicked its tail indifferently: "I won't tell them."
He turned around, lowered his voice, and seemed to be talking to himself.
"If it were me, I would have killed more than you."
After saying that, he went down the mountain without looking back.
Behind him, several small bubbles rose to the surface of the lake, and a red fish tail flashed by.
Under a clear sky, the sun shines on the earth.
At the foot of the mountain, the spiritual flowers covering the ground, having received the warmth of the sun, had become like warm jade, possessing a touch more warmth than ordinary plants.
Qian Chuan took out the clothes that Xiao Jiu had worn out but couldn't bear to throw away. He spread the clothes on a net-like spiritual flower, and then placed the sleeping little monsters on it one by one.
Xie Chuanfeng condensed his gentle wood-elemental spiritual energy into a shield and placed it directly over the little monsters, slowly nourishing their bodies.
The little monsters, completely unaware of the outside world, hummed comfortably a few times and continued to sleep soundly.
Qian Chuan glanced at Xie Chuanfeng's condition and then at the surrounding plants, and simply said, "This can't go on."
Xie Chuanfeng is, after all, only flesh and blood; what he needs right now is rest.
The surrounding flowers are not all spirit flowers; there are also ordinary flowers and grasses grown from seeds synthesized earlier.
Although those flowers and plants come from the same plane as laurel, nightingale, and water lily, and can be nourished by the energy of this world, they are not as resilient as the spirit flowers.
If the sun continues to shine like this in order to raise the temperature, all those flowers and plants will surely wither.
Just as everyone was racking their brains for a solution, the system's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"I've got a solution!"
As soon as it finished speaking, that familiar broadcast voice rang out throughout the world.
The crops are almost ripe; please proceed to prepare for harvesting.
