"Fellow cultivator, please wait. There's a worm in your head, and I'm going to peck it out for you … You should know that bitter medicine is good for illness, and you shouldn't hide your illness for fear of treatment! "
In a green forest, a beautiful crimson-mantled bird shouted at a red maple tree that was running away.
Although the red maple tree was just a tree, its strides were huge, and it was not slow at all.
The tree demon turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to run for its life.
For a moment, the crimson-mantled bird could not catch up to it.
However, one was flying, and the other was running. Not long after, the crimson-mantled bird caught up with it, and held on tightly to the tree trunk.
The tree immediately waved its branches, trying to chase the bird away, but the bird dodged it agilely.
However, this made it difficult for the bird to eat it.
"Sigh, fellow cultivator, I'm really doing this for your own good. When you were ignorant, you were born with the ability to gather vitality, and your vitality was strong, so you attracted countless worms. If I didn't catch worms for you every day, you would've been eaten away by them, and you wouldn't have been able to wait until the day you gained intelligence! "The crimson-mantled bird said earnestly.
The red maple tree was like a sick child that was afraid of needles and medicine. It did not care about anything else, and continued to attack.
"How troublesome. I didn't want to care about you, but you're the only tree demon in this forest that has gained intelligence. How rare. Your body is strong, and some worms are parasitic on the bark, so you can't feel any pain. When you feel pain, it'll be too late. "
The crimson-mantled bird continued to nag, but the red maple tree still turned a deaf ear.
The crimson-mantled bird was helpless. It shook its head, as if it was trying to recall something, and finally found a great weapon.
After a long time, it said, "Among humans, a wise man of the same trade once said that diseases are in the texture, which can be reached by ironing soup; in the skin, which can be reached by needles and stones; in the stomach, which can be reached by all fire; in the bone marrow, which belongs to the Arbiter of Fate, there's nothing we can do about it. Those worms are in your bark now, and I can still get rid of them easily. However, if they enter the heart of the tree, as the wise man said, I'll be helpless, and I'll have to kill you as well … "
When it heard this, the red maple tree seemed to be afraid. It stopped attacking and became obedient.
"Hmm, the words of the human sages are indeed useful. No wonder, after all, you were sown by the humans long ago," the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker said with satisfaction.
The tree stopped shaking, and it began to use its sharp beak to peck at the tree trunk.
A series of "Du Du" sounds rang out, and the red maple tree trembled again. It wanted to escape, but it didn't dare to.
"Hmm, I haven't been here for a few days, and as expected, there are more fat worms growing …" The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker delightedly heard from the echoes of the hollow. There seemed to be many worms lying inside.
"Hehe, if you die, my free meal ticket will be gone, so I won't let you die." The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker found the hollow in the tree bark and pecked at it with all its might. It stuck out its long tongue and burrowed in.
Not long after, a wriggling fat white worm, along with a few white eggs, came out of its tongue.
The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker swallowed the delicious food contentedly and said, "Not bad, if I eat a few more times, I'll be able to advance to the rumored Pond-level. When that happens, I'll also be a Pond-level bird, and I'll be qualified to chase after that Green-mantled Woodpecker."
The red maple tree shook its head and spoke for the first time, "Little Red, why do I feel like you're not just treating me, but treating me like an insect farm …"
"Uh, don't think too much. If you think too much, you'll hurt our feelings. It's a win-win situation. Think about it, if I don't eat worms, the worms will eat you. "The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker immediately bluffed.
The red maple tree was speechless. It had a point.
Just as the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker continued looking for worms, two voices came from afar.
"Venerable One, the one in front is the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker we're looking for. It's already a Basin-level bird demon, one step away from becoming a Pond-level bird. Among all the woodpeckers, it improved the fastest and was the strongest.
"Its talent in finding worms should be its number one, and it's definitely good at finding demon worms rich in vitality. That's why it can grow so fast. You should know that they don't have any specialized cultivation methods. Although there are many cultivation methods for humans, none of them are suitable for birds. On the contrary, pigs can cultivate human cultivation methods. "
"Hmm, very well. You just need to lead the way here. Take this pill and use it on the way. This seat never lacks hungry soldiers. "
"Thank you for your generosity, Venerable One. I'll take my leave now."
"Eh, Little Maple, it seems like someone's looking for me? Listen, you don't give a damn about me, but someone came all the way here to invite me. You really have to be content. I'm such a powerful woodpecker, one of a kind. Other woodpeckers can't even handle the worms on your body. "The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker said proudly.
The red maple tree was speechless. The person who came was powerful, something it had never seen before. Fortunately, the other person's aura was calm and righteous, and his face was upright. He did not seem greedy at all, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
If it were those poachers or poachers, they would be able to sense the greedy aura emitted from them from ten miles away.
…
"Eh, great, Mr. Rich Boss, I found another treasure …" Sir System said excitedly.
"Uh, I know that the tree is a treasure, but can we get down to business first?" Fang Ning was speechless. After all, Sir System was not him, it did not have the heart of a human.
Sir System had no concept of cruelty. No matter how bloody or cruel it was, it would turn a blind eye to it, and only act according to the System's rules.
Other than himself, where it might have a little conscience, it had no conscience towards other things.
The so-called "Hero", "Pharos of the East", was actually a joke that outsiders would never know.
"Uh, you're right. It can't be helped, I've always been an honest System. "Sir System said confidently.
"Forget it, this woodpecker is really extraordinary. It's only the third year of Shenyuan this year, but as a bird, it can reach the Bathtub level and is about to advance into the Pond-level, which shows how talented it is. Coupled with the theory of mutual restraint, my intuition tells me that it can deal with that detestable Brain-Devouring Parasite. "Fang Ning said firmly.
"Oh, my intuition tells me that you might have guessed correctly again, Mr. Rich Boss." Sir System said angrily.
"What do you mean guessed correctly? I came up with this after careful reasoning and the unique inspiration of a genius. "Fang Ning was very dissatisfied.
…
"Fellow cultivator, please." Fang Ning stood under the tree and cupped his hands at the Crimson-mantled Woodpecker.
"Uh, fellow cultivator, what brings you here from afar?" The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker hurriedly climbed down from the tree and stood side by side with Fang Ning.
Fang Ning said with a solemn expression, "The human world is suddenly facing a great disaster. A devil insect is wreaking havoc, slaughtering the innocent, plunging the people into misery and suffering, and is on the verge of death. Now, it seems that only fellow cultivator is its natural nemesis. I hope that fellow cultivator can come out of seclusion and help generously. You can comfort the heavens above and help the people below. Your merit is immeasurable, and I hope that you will help. "
"Ugh, what are you talking about? Hehe." The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker was embarrassed to be praised so highly. "If you put it that way, I'll definitely go, but I can't leave this old maple tree. If I stay too long, it'll be bitten to death by the insect. "
"Hehe, that's easy. I have a portable arcane realm that's full of vitality. It's not a problem for me to grow trees and flowers. Fellow cultivator, please stay in it for the time being. "Sir System seized Fang Ning again and spoke first.
"Twice …" Fang Ning was very dissatisfied and recorded it in his little notebook.
"Who cares about you …" Sir System said in disdain.
"Burning the bridge after crossing the river, is this something an honest System would do?" Fang Ning scolded.
As he spoke, the red maple tree disappeared from where it stood …
The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker was dumbfounded. 'This, this is too fast, isn't it?
It seems like, like from the beginning to the end, the red maple tree did not say a word of agreement … '
"Uh, alright, fellow cultivator, you should have nothing to worry about now. Also, for the sake of speed, fellow cultivator, you should stay in as well. "
"That, that, can I not go in?" The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker asked blankly.
"For the sake of all living beings in the world, please bear with it, brother." Vigilante A did not allow for any explanation and pointed his finger. The Crimson-mantled Woodpecker could not resist and disappeared from where it stood.
After all, it was still a Basin-level bird, not even a Pond-level bird.
Speaking of which, even a Pond-level powerhouse would be powerless in front of Sir System.
"This way, it can run faster. Let me look at the System Map. Is that Brain-Devouring Parasite spreading disasters again?" Sir System said with satisfaction.
The Draconic Arcane Realm was easy to enter but hard to leave.
"Sir, how is this different from robbery? Aren't you afraid of losing your chivalrous attribute? "Fang Ning said worriedly.
"Ah, didn't I say it already? For the sake of all living beings in the world, it won't fall, don't worry. "Sir System said confidently.
"When you put it like that, I feel like you're a righteous hero …"
