Xu Yuanhui refused Ling Jiu's request.
He had read the information on Ling Jiu and the others and knew their strength.
While he was surprised that Ling Jiu had become a Level 4 Arcanist at the age of 16, he did not think that Ling Jiu could kill a Class 5 Direbeast.
A Level 4 Arcanist.
A Class 5 Direbeast.
They were not on the same level at all.
Not to mention that there was not only one Class 5 Direbeast in Meizi Town, but three. In addition, there were 41 Class 4 Direbeasts and countless Class 2 and Class 3 Direbeasts.
How could Ling Jiu and the other 11 people destroy such a terrifying Direbeast horde?
But Xu Yuanhui could not dissuade Ling Jiu. He finally ordered the maglev airship to come to Meizi Town. Ling Jiu did not say anything and landed in a bamboo forest in Meizi Town.
Bamboo forest?
The bamboo forest in front of him was different from the bamboo forest in his memory. Bamboo should be thin and long, but the bamboo in this bamboo forest was thick and long.
The thickest bamboos grew on the ground, as if they were towering trees, their leaves piled up into a thick layer.
Obviously.
The bamboo forest had evolved.
"I did not expect this bamboo forest to grow like this in just 30 years." Zhou Dun looked at the bamboo forest and sighed.
"Have you been here before, Zhou Dun?" Huang Hailong asked with a smile.
"I am from Meizi Town." Zhou Dun explained. "I spent my childhood in Meizi Town 30 years ago before the Direbeasts invaded."
"In order to prevent soil erosion and protect the ecological environment, the government planted more than 6,000 acres of bamboo forest, 8,600 acres of chestnut forest, and 2,500 acres of mulberry trees on both sides of the Wen River."
"At that time, we dug bamboo shoots in spring, ate mulberry apricots in summer, and chestnut in winter. Every day was easy and happy."
"Unfortunately, when I was seven years old, the Direbeasts invaded and everything changed. The entire town moved away, and I also left Meizi Town where I grew up."
"I did not expect to leave for 30 years. When I returned to my hometown, I had changed from a child to a greasy uncle. Sigh."
Everyone nodded, fully understanding Zhou Dun's feelings. They were all in their thirties and had the same experience as Zhou Dun. They could empathize.
Whoosh!
Just as everyone was sighing with emotion, a sharp piercing sound suddenly rang out. They saw a sharp bamboo uproot itself from the ground and descend from the sky.
This bamboo was as thick as an adult's thigh, and its roots were very sharp. It was like a long spear as it stabbed towards Meng Lijun.
"Puchi —"
The bamboo spear instantly pierced through Meng Lijun's shoulder, piercing through Meng Lijun before ruthlessly stabbing into the ground.
"Lijun!"
Chen Feng shouted. He pulled out the saber on his back and hacked down. With a 'kacha' sound, the bamboo was instantly cut in half. Dark green blood spurted out.
"Coo —"
An ear-piercing scream came from above. Everyone looked up and saw a 10-meter-long bamboo pole that was as thick as an adult's arms.
Bamboo pole?
Screams?
This scene was somewhat horrifying!
"Not good! It's a Long-legged Stick Insect! "
Huang Hailong shouted, "Attention everyone, it's the Long-legged Stick Insect!"
"Long-legged stick insect?"
Ling Jiu could not help but look at it a few more times. Just by looking at its appearance, this Long-legged Stick Insect was no different from a bamboo pole. The color and shape of the bamboo pole …
If it stood still or did not make any noise, it was almost identical to the surrounding bamboo and could not be distinguished at all.
"Ol 'Meng, how are you feeling?"
Chen Feng asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Meng Lijun endured the excruciating pain as he pulled out the bamboo spear from his shoulder and turned into Tungsten Alloy Form.
He could transform into this form to heal himself when he was not seriously injured. This was also his ability.
"How dare you hurt me! Go to hell!"
Meng Lijun, who had turned into an alloy giant, was completely enraged. He leaped high and smashed his fist at the Long-legged Stick Insect.
"Kacha —"
Meng Lijun's fist penetrated the Long-legged Stick Insect's body, and a large amount of dark green blood spurted out.
"Coo —"
The Long-legged Stick Insect screamed as it waved its remaining five long legs and stabbed at Meng Lijun.
Unfortunately, Meng Lijun was extremely tough in this form, and the bamboo spears could only create sparks when they stabbed at him.
Meng Lijun punched a few more times, and all five bamboo spear legs were broken. The Long-legged Stick Insect let out a blood-curdling scream as it fell from the air to the ground.
"Die!"
Meng Lijun aimed at its head and punched it in the head. The Long-legged Stick Insect struggled a few times before becoming motionless.
"Be careful, everyone. There should be more than one Long-legged Stick Insect in this bamboo forest," Huang Hailong warned loudly.
The Long-legged Stick Insect was not a high-level Direbeast, but they were hidden in the bamboo forest. Their perfect camouflage made them quite a threat, and if they were not careful, they would be skewered like Meng Lijun.
"Don't bother," Ling Jiu said faintly.
Ling Jiu said faintly. Eight times gravity enveloped a radius of a hundred meters.
"Bam, bam, bam!"
The sound of heavy objects hitting the ground rang out one after another. Everyone turned to look and saw a bamboo pole falling to the ground. It was the Long-legged Stick Insect.
"Captain Ling, you're really something!"
"Even a Class 3 Direbeast can't withstand Captain Ling's eight times gravity, let alone a Class 2 Direbeast like the Long-legged Stick Insect!"
"The Long-legged Stick Insect should be the Class 2 Direbeast most restrained by gravity!"
"Haha, who asked the Long-legged Stick Insect to have such long legs!"
"Cut the crap, kill them!"
Since they had revealed themselves, the Long-legged Stick Insect's threat was greatly reduced. Everyone attacked, and the Long-legged Stick Insects were killed one by one.
By the time they crossed the 5,000 acres of bamboo forest and came out of it, hundreds of Long-legged Stick Insects had died in their hands.
"We're finally out!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked ahead. There was another forest in front of them, with thick trees growing on the ground.
All the trees looked almost identical, and they were probably also planted by humans. Hairballs the size of watermelons hung on the thick, tall trees.
"What kind of tree is this?"
Shi Hao asked, puzzled.
"Everyone, we're in for a treat!"
Zhou Dun licked his lips and grinned.
"Ol 'Zhou, don't keep us guessing. Tell us!" Bai Le could not help but urge him.
"Didn't I tell you before that our town planted 8,600 acres of chestnut trees 30 years ago? Look, this forest in front of us is it!"
Zhou Dun laughed. "But obviously, these chestnut leaves have evolved. Look, the chestnuts they bear are as big as watermelons!"
"These are chestnuts? Holy moly! "
"Chestnuts the size of watermelons?"
"My wife loves to eat fried chestnuts, but they are rare in the market, and it's hard to buy them even if you have the money. The last time I had chestnuts was two years ago!"
"The chestnuts on the market are all grown in organic greenhouses. How can they compare to this pure wild chestnut that has evolved?"
"Everyone, it's December now, the season to eat chestnuts. Do you want to get some back?" Zhou Dun said with a smile.
"Of course!"
"This is good stuff. Since we've come across it, of course we can't let it go!"
"Let's go!"
The group of people all went into the chestnut forest to pick the chestnuts. Ling Jiu also picked a good chestnut tree. The ground under his feet bulged, lifting him to a place where he could reach the chestnuts, and he slowly picked them.
It was December, and the chestnuts were ripe. When the outer shell was peeled off, a golden chestnut appeared in front of him.
