“Is this the place?”
‘What appeared in front of Bai Wushang was an incomparably magnificent and resplendent forest. It was sparkling with silver light as if it was a fairyland.
Every tree here was nearly a hundred meters tall. The brown trunk and silver leaves were intertwined with each other, displaying the splendor of life.
“silver Leaf Forest…”
Bai Wushang muttered softly. This was the information he got from the tall woman.
To be more precise, it was part of the information.
According to the tall woman, there was probably a magical fruit tree hidden in the deepest part of this Silver Leaf Forest!
It was a legendary natural treasure, and there were very few of it in existence.
It bloomed for 100 years, bore fruit for 100 years and matured for 100 years. Moreover, it would only give birth to one fruit at a time. The difficulty of cultivation and breeding was no less than raising a pet beast of the ultimate form.
Bai Wushang never dreamed that he would hear such news in the mystic realm, Sea Island.
According to the tall woman’s oral account, two days ago, when they were a team of three, they accidentally entered this Silver Leaf Forest and smelled a faint fragrance.
‘When they first smelled the fragrance, it was as fresh as lemon, citrus and mint
After inhaling it continuously, it would turn into the fragrance of flowers and herbs such as jasmine, rose and lavender. The fragrance was rich and strong.
‘When the base note was fully activated, the faint fragrance of camphor, cypress and cedar would come out. It was warm and thick.
In short, it was a particularly charming and peculiar fragrance!
It was the same as the description of the legendary magical fruit tree when it was about to mature!
The peculiar fragrance lingered for more than ten minutes before dissipating on its own.
However, during this time, all the transcendent creatures around who smelled the fragrance went berserk.
They became extremely excited and had an extremely strong desire to attack.
The three people led by the tall woman encountered an inferior demon at its peak youth form. The third person in the team suffered severe external injuries and had no choice but to crush the distress talisman to escape.
The remaining tall woman and the skinny man felt that their strength was weak and did not dare to take any further risks. They hurriedly fled and left this troublesome place.
After that, they met the white-haired fatty and the others, and that was what happened earlier on.
“There’s a fragrance, which means that the magical fruit tree will mature within three to five days, probably before the end of the trial…”
Bai Wushang frowned and pondered, “However, a heavenly treasure of this level, the closer it is to maturity, the more it will attract a large number of transcendent creatures to gather. Even if a mature form appears to fight for it, I won’t be surprised.”
“The only thing I can do is to investigate first, confirm the authenticity of the information and establish a psychological expectation for the difficulty of obtaining the target.”
“If the difficulty is particularly high, I must be prepared to leave. I must not lose my mind because of the greed for the treasure and act rashly.”
“If it is within my control, then I will try my best to obtain it. After all, any magical fruit tree’s magical fruit is worth more than 10,000 gold coins, and some of them are priceless… whether it’s for my use or to sell for money, I’ll make a huge profit!”
‘The sun gradually set in the west, and the sunset glow was as red as fire, illuminating the land.
Under the light of gold and silver, Bai Wushang rode his Red Horse through the Silver Leaf Forest.
He didn’t dare to be too ostentatious. Instead, he was on high alert and slowed down.
Occasionally, he could pick one or two decent herbs, and sometimes, he would meet some transcendent creatures that were alone. Some had ulterior motives.
At this time, Ah Zhou, who was quietly following beside him, would suddenly attack and sweep across with lightning speed.
After about an hour, the sky was completely dark.
Bai Wushang got off his horse and switched to walking.
After walking for some time, he felt a slight resistance from his raised calf, accompanied by the sound of something breaking.
“Eh?
With the help of the light from the fire, Bai Wushang saw a thin piece of white silk that had been broken into two.
“Silk? Oh… No, it should be spider silk…”
After taking note of this, Bai Wushang continued to move forward.
Ten minutes later.
A series of faint noises came from the surrounding bushes.
Bai Wushang focused his mind and suddenly realized that there was a strange movement above his head. He raised his head to look.
“Swoosh –”
In the night, a white net-shaped flying object came down from the sky.
Just as he wanted to dodge sideways, he saw seven or eight similar things flying over from all directions from the corner of his eyes.
“Roar!”
‘Ah Zhou took a step forward and used its body to block in front of Bai Wushang.
His vision was temporarily obscured and Bai Wushang unexpectedly heard a human voice —
“Hit it! Go!”
‘When Ah Zhou moved its body away, Bai Wushang realized that he was surrounded by a group of people.
Each of them was holding a torch. Judging from the number of torches, there should be seven people, and their faces could not be seen clearly as the flame flickered.
Pet beasts of varying sizes slowly approached, completely sealing off the limited space.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak –” the Red Horse called out twice. It trembled and was fearful of the situation.
Bai Wushang focused his mind and quickly identified the other group, “Big-tailed Raccoon… Silver-backed Centipede… Forest Green Lizard… Rock Mountain Bull… Fire Hat Turtle… hmm… three middle stage youth forms, two late youth forms…”
He glanced at the white silk threads hanging on the Demon Ape’s back, and his body was also affected.
‘What made things worse was a pool of milky white under his feet. Stepping on it was like a strong glue, and it was very sticky, greatly restricting his ability to move.
“Spider silk huh.
Bai Wushang seemed to have understood something. He looked up and saw a hidden spider web hanging above his head. A giant spider the size of a millstone was lying on it, and its scarlet eyes were constantly flashing.
In his pupils —
[Name]: Silk Spider (Contract)
[Race]: Demon Beast Realm – Arthropod Type – Silk Spider Race
[Life Level]: Middle stage youth form
[Bloodline Quality]: Mortel Bone level, 5 stars
(Status ]: Exhausted/Hollowed Out
[Intelligence]: Extremely low
(Characteristics]: Adhesion
[skills]: Shooting Spider Webs, Warning Spider Webs
{Gourmet Cells]: 10
“It really is this little guy…” Bai Wushang’s eyes were bright as he thought to himself, “Fortunately, he is only at the middle stage youth form, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
“Everyone, let’s attack together. The Demon Ape’s recovery ability is very strong, so don’t give it a chance to resist!” Someone said in a low voice.
“Okay!” Everyone agreed.
In an instant, the group of beasts were about to make their moves and revealed intense malice.
Bai Wushang used a torch to melt the spider silk under his feet while he took out a dagger.
Ah Zhou grinned, its fangs were thick and it was ready for a big fight.
At this moment, a slightly feminine voice sounded —
“Wait!”
Aslender figure walked out from the crowd and stood in front of everyone.
‘As he was closer, Bai Wushang saw his appearance.
He had brown pupils, blue-grey curly hair and sharp facial features. He was a very unique and gentle young man.
His face was a little pale, and his lips were very thin. Although he had a brilliant smile on his face, Bai Wushang did not feel a trace of amiability at all. Instead, he felt that it was too deliberate.
It was as if there was a thorn in the cotton.
Or perhaps there was a knife hidden in his smile.
In any case, he did not seem like a good person..
