Chapter 217: Discovery
“Okay, then I understand. Aunt Jian, thank you for going through the trouble.”
“It’s no trouble. You all are the ones who are always out and about, go get some rest. Later, your Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao and I will make a big meal for you to replenish your strength.”
“Thank you, Aunt Jian.”
“Alright, you all go get some rest. You must be exhausted. I’ll go find your Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao first.”
Sang Chu nodded repeatedly, and Jian Xiu Ying turned and left the meeting room.
Sang Jing Wen: “Sang Sang, are you really not going to do anything about Pei Zhao’s situation?”
Sai Yue also felt very confused. Hearing Sang Jing Wen’s question, she also looked at Sang Chu.
Sang Chu: “Lin Shao Qing and Shi Feng are researching the medicine. If Pei Zhao is a zombie, then this medicine should also work for her. Once the medicine is ready, it can be used on her directly. If not, after Lin Shao Qing develops the medicine, he can focus on her situation. That’s why I said her matter isn’t urgent. Brother, you should go back and rest first. I’ll take Xue You to check out Hai Shi’s land area. If it’s feasible, I’ll start building high walls immediately.”
“That’s a good idea. The light is dim under the Blood Moon, so building high walls stealthily in the dark is also good. In that case, A Yi and I will go deal with the mutated plants.”
“No rush. The mutated plants in Qing Liu City before made me discover something: only by finding the *origin* of the mutated plants can they be eliminated. Otherwise, they will find an opportunity to revive again. When I go out with Xue You, I’ll also check the locations of the *origin* of these mutated plants. I’ll send you a message then. If they can be reached directly by hovercar, or if we can enter by riding a magic beast, let the magic beast eat them directly. I hope Hai Shi doesn’t have such powerful mutated plants, otherwise, it will be very troublesome.”
Hearing Sang Chu’s words, Sang Jing Wen was silent for a moment and said, “Little Sister, if that’s the case, then we need to guard against mutated plants invading Hai Shi from underground.”
“Exactly. Therefore, building high walls not only needs to seal the top to block acid rain but also needs to enclose the underground to prevent mutated plants from drilling through. I’m a bit worried that my house building machines can’t handle such a large area of city walls at once, so I plan to first observe the growth trend of the mutated plants. If there aren’t any powerful ones, I’ll build high walls first, at least to enclose the city. Then, I’ll find a way to go to the Monster Transformation World again.”
Sang Jing Wen: “Can I go with you?”
Sang Jing Wen didn’t want his sister to take risks in places he couldn’t see. If he accompanied her, at least he could watch over her.
Sang Chu: “That might be a bit difficult. Directional train tickets are very expensive, especially since I’ve already been there once. The price for a second round trip will likely be several times that of the Magic World. Brother, don’t worry, I’ll be fine by myself.”
“Then you must be careful and return safely.”
“Okay, I’ll take Xue You out now.”
“Alright.”
Sang Chu led Xue You out.
Passing by the Peach Blossom Tree, Xue You paused for a moment: “A Chu, what is this thing? It looks like it has a lot of power.”
Previously, they had entered the base with that group from Qing Liu City through a different passage, so Xue You hadn’t noticed the existence of the Peach Blossom Tree. Now that he encountered it, he was deeply attracted.
“This is a Peach Blossom Tree. The fruit it bears is called Demon Peach, a fruit that magic beasts really like. I’ll give you a few when they ripen. But you can’t touch the ones on the tree now. Those aren’t real fruits; they are lures that attract people before eating them.”
Xue You didn’t doubt Sang Chu’s words at all. He looked at the Peach Blossom Tree in shock: “It can also bear fake fruits to trick people?”
“Yes. By the way, after passing through this Peach Blossom Forest, you’ll see a Mutated Tree. Help me scout its capabilities. If you can deal with it, deal with it directly. If not, we’ll think of another way.”
“Okay, I’m going then.”
“Wait.”
Sang Chu quickly grabbed Xue You and drew a rune on his palm: “The Bewitching Formation of this Peach Blossom Tree is very strong. Without a rune, you’ll get lost in it. Now you can go.”
Xue You nodded, not feeling annoyed that he, a Great Demon King, was being ordered around by Sang Chu. He even liked this feeling a little.
He felt like he and Sang Chu were like good friends fighting side-by-side, not her servant.
Because no matter what Sang Chu did, he would go with her; it was just that their roles were different.
While Xue You went to scout the Mutated Tree, Sang Chu released the Twin Fox. The two white Nine-tailed Foxes were about as tall as Sang Chu.
“Here, take this. After eating it, you’ll be able to permanently transform into human form.”
The two foxes looked at Sang Chu in unison, each taking a pill from her hand. In an instant, the foxes transformed into human form.
Two fair-skinned, beautiful young men appeared before Sang Chu, dripping with vitality, completely naked.
“Put these on.”
After receiving the clothes and putting them on, Hu Yu and Hu Ling, the two youths, looked at Sang Chu curiously: “Master, what do you need us for?”
Their clear young voices were pleasant to hear, giving one the feeling of a spring breeze.
Sang Chu: “You two, quickly delineate the area of this mountain and tell me where there are strange-looking trees and where there are sheer cliffs.”
“Yes, Master.”
Hu Yu and Hu Ling flew away like a gust of clear wind. Sang Chu summoned a Hellhound and rode it into the sky.
As she flew, she shared her vision with Xue You, Hu Ling, and Hu Yu.
Xue You: “A Chu, the Treants underground can be dealt with directly. They are not high level, and they have too many souls in their bodies, each wanting to take the initiative. They are easy to deal with. Shall we act?”
Hearing Xue You’s words, Sang Chu instantly thought of the big tree in Qing Liu City. It seemed that early-stage Mutated Trees had many souls. Only when the last one remained would it be the most powerful.
It was like raising Gu worms.
The Gu worms would fight each other, and the one that won and survived would be the Gu King.
“Deal with them. That Mutated Tree will have many Crystal Cores, which are like stones containing energy. Bring all of them back.”
“Okay.”
As Xue You was preparing to act, Hu Ling sent a message: “Master, I see your friend.”
“Who?”
It was blurry in the darkness. Hu Ling quietly approached the person, and when Sang Chu saw who it was, she was completely stunned.
“Mu Xue? Wasn’t she in the formation? How did she get out!”
Sang Chu quickly sent a message to Tu You: 【Where is Xiao Xue? 】
【She’s in the Demon Subduing Array, what’s wrong? 】
【Are you by her side? If not, please go check if she’s still there! 】
Tu You: 【Bai Yu Qi just found me, so I came out for a bit. I’m going over there right now. 】
Tu You quickly abandoned Bai Yu Qi and flew towards her residence. As soon as she opened the door, the formation was still there, but the person was gone!
【A Chu, the formation is here, but the person is gone. I’m afraid someone let her out. If you see her, be careful! I’m coming to find you right now! 】
