Yang Fan walked up the mountain. He didn't use any movement techniques. He took one step at a time as he slowly walked up the mountain.
He enjoyed the scenery of the forest at night and breathed in the unique slightly humid air of the mountain.
After killing seventy-nine demonic beasts, he felt extremely comfortable. The only regret was that these demonic beasts were all Class 1 demonic beasts. He didn't see any higher level ones.
However, this was normal. The concentration of spiritual energy in the world wasn't very high. It was already very good for ordinary demonic beasts to be able to awaken and reach the peak of Class 1 under such circumstances.
After all, geniuses were always in the minority, whether in the human race or the demon race.
First Class, Second Class, Third Class …
Yang Fan walked up the stone steps. It took him a full ten minutes to reach the entrance of the Pingshan Monastery, even though it was only 200 meters high.
Floret stood guard at the entrance of the inner hall. He didn't enter and had a look of disdain on his face.
Dahei was actually the first one to act. He turned around and laid in the courtyard of the monastery. He gently patted his belly with his front paws. He had a satisfied look on his face.
Standing outside the monastery, Yang Fan looked down the mountain. The corpses of the demonic beasts were all gone. It seemed like they were all eaten by the big dog.
There were seventy-nine Class 1 demonic beasts. All of their flesh added up to at least five thousand kilograms.
Moreover, among the seventy-nine Demonic Beasts, there were also some insect-like Demonic Beasts such as Thousand-Legged Worms and Stick Worms. Eating so many things at once, wasn't this silly dog afraid that it would have indigestion and choke to death?
Yang Fan shook his head helplessly. As expected of a big dog that had awakened the bloodline of the Heaven Devouring Beast. No one could be as greedy as him.
He didn't want Floret to look at him with disdain. A stupid dog that even ate insects was disgusting.
He walked into the main hall. As soon as he entered, Yang Fan couldn't help but frown. Why was there the smell of urine in here?
He turned to look at Floret. Floret was annoyed. He shot a look at Dahei outside the hall.
Yang Fan shook his head. So it was Dahei's doing. This beast was getting more and more unhygienic.
Circulating his spiritual energy and holding his breath, Yang Fan walked forward and saw that Zhu Zhengqi, Zhu Caiwei, and the others had all been moved to one place. Around them, there was a shallow wet mark that formed a circle, which just happened to encircle them.
This dog really knew how to slack off.
Yang Fan waved his sleeve, and the urine stains on the ground, as well as the soil and dust soaked in urine, all floated into the air. Yang Fan flung them out of the hall, and they just happened to land on the burping Dahei.
Howl!
Who was plotting against Lord Dog?!
Dahei jolted up and turned to look in the direction of the main hall with an unfriendly expression. The dust had been thrown from that direction.
However, when it saw Yang Fan, who was standing in the middle of the hall, looking at it from the corner of its eyes, Lord Dog tucked its tail and shrunk its neck. After it obediently called out 'daddy', it softly lay on the ground, terrified.
"Coward!"
Floret leaned on the doorsill and gave Dahei a look of disdain.
Dahei buried its head on the ground, pretending that it didn't see anything. Lord Dog was in a good mood today, so it didn't want to lower itself to their level.
Although the seven people were unconscious, their breaths were long, as if they were still in a meditative state and hadn't woken up yet.
Yang Fan didn't wake them up by force. Instead, he set up a bonfire and took out a piece of rabbit and snake meat from the collection space, leisurely roasting it.
Floret smelled the aroma and jumped down from the doorsill. It twisted its little butt and walked elegantly like a cat, coming to Yang Fan's side.
Yang Fan lowered his head and looked at it. This fellow, didn't it disdain to eat the meat of these low-level demonic beasts? Why did it come over now?
"Meow! This King is a tasteful Manchurian Tiger. Eating meat and drinking blood is no longer suitable for this King. Cooked food is this King's favorite! "
Little Blossom raised her small head and sent a telepathic message to Yang Fan with a serious expression. She had completely forgotten who was the one who was lying under Zhou Xiao and the others' butts and licking their blood greedily.
Yang Fan ignored it, but still took out two more pieces of rabbit meat from the collection space and placed it on the barbecue rack.
Dahei looked at the man and cat in disdain. A palm-sized piece of meat wasn't even enough to fill the gap between its teeth. If it couldn't fill its stomach, what was the point of roasting it?
Dahei tilted its head and lay on the ground, snoring loudly. It ate more than ten thousand pounds of meat in one go, and it needed time to slowly digest it.
The night was silent.
The next morning, when the sun had just risen, Zhu Zhengqi was the first to wake up.
"Eh, little brother Yang, why are you here?"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhu Zhengqi saw Yang Fan, who was training the cat and playing with the dog. His eyes were filled with surprise.
Then, he saw the group of people sitting next to him, especially when he saw that Zhu Huawu and Zhu Caiwei were all at the side. The old man was even more surprised.
Why did all his grandchildren come to his side when he woke up?
"Little brother Yang, have I been cultivating for a few days and nights?"
Zhu Zhengqi was confused and couldn't help but ask Yang Fan.
He remembered very clearly that he and Zhu Jiacheng were trapped deep in the mountains. They were lucky enough to come across a Taoist temple and were led to a place where spiritual energy gathered to cultivate. It didn't make sense for him to meet an acquaintance as soon as he woke up.
Yang Fan said, "About one night, no more than twenty-four hours."
Yang Fan wasn't lying. From the time they lost contact with Zhu Zhengqi to the time they tracked him down, it had only been about one day.
Zhu Zhengqi was stunned, "Only one day? How is that possible? How did you find this place? "
If he remembered correctly, before he entered the state of meditation, the surrounding communications were cut off, airplanes were forbidden to fly, and cars couldn't drive into the deep mountains and forests. It only took one day. How could these people find them?
"We were lucky. When the helicopter broke down, it just happened to land in this Taoist temple. We just happened to see Elder Zhu and Housekeeper Zhu here."
Yang Fan briefly told him about what happened in the Taoist temple yesterday. Zhu Zhengqi was stunned.
"So … the boy that Jiacheng and I saw was actually just an illusion. Was it deliberately created by the Welcoming Guest Pine to confuse us?"
Wasn't this too bizarre?
The feeling that the boy gave them was so real and natural. How could it be just an illusion?
Moreover, Zhu Zhengqi felt that his strength had indeed increased significantly. He had truly reached the peak of the Xiantian Realm. If the boy didn't have good intentions, how could he explain his rapid improvement in strength?
"It's really incredible. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe that there is such a spiritual plant in this world." Yang Fan sighed softly.
The existence of spiritual plants was extremely rare. Some of the memories in his mind were mostly based on some legends. No one had ever seen these mystical plants with their own eyes.
"If Elder Zhu doesn't believe me, you can go outside the temple and take a look. Although the Demonic Pine is dead, its crown and roots are still there. It can't be faked."
Yang Fan raised his finger and pointed outside the temple. Zhu Zhengqi didn't rush out to verify it. Instead, he turned to look at his precious granddaughter and whispered to Yang Fan, "I naturally believe and doubt little brother's words. However, are Yue Yue and the rest really okay? Why haven't they woken up yet? "
Just as Zhu Zhengqi's voice fell, Zhu Jiacheng's eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Zhu Zhengqi, he respectfully greeted, "Old Master, you're awake?"
Turning his head, he saw that there were other people in the temple. Zhu Jiacheng couldn't help but say in surprise, "Eh, Mr. Yang, why are Young Master and Young Miss also here?"
His surprised expression was exactly the same as when Zhu Zhengqi first woke up.
Subsequently, Zhu Huawu, Zhu Caiwei, Yang Guo, Zhou Xiao and the pilot Xiao Liu also woke up one after another. Everyone's faces couldn't help but reveal a trace of unexpected joy. Their cultivation had all improved greatly in this miraculous opportunity.
Especially the pilot Xiao Liu, who had successfully transcended from an ordinary person to the Xiantian Realm that Zhu Zhengqi and the other martial artists of this era spoke of. It was like reaching the heavens in a single bound.
The reunion of grandfather and grandson and the improvement of their strength made everyone happy.
However, when they walked out of the temple and saw with their own eyes that the Welcoming Guest Pine Tree, which was originally only as thick as a bowl and three to two meters tall, had turned into a huge tree demon about three meters thick and a hundred meters tall. The surprise on their faces all turned into horror and fear.
When they heard Yang Fan talk about it just now, Yang Fan only mentioned it briefly and didn't explain it in detail. It was far less shocking than seeing it with their own eyes now.
The huge tree crown was still tilted on the foundation of the side temple. The side temple was torn apart, and the brick ground was smashed into a deep pit.
In the empty root, where the Welcoming Guest Pine Tree was originally, a three-meter-wide circular stump was revealed in front of them. The texture of the tree trunk was densely packed. Without counting, it could be seen that there were at least a thousand of them.
This tree demon had actually cultivated for a thousand years!
"Little Brother Yang, thank you!" Zhu Zhengqi solemnly bowed to Yang Fan to express his gratitude, "This is the second time little brother has saved this old man. I will remember this life-saving grace!"
Behind Zhu Zhengqi, Zhu Huawu, Zhu Caiwei, Zhou Xiao, and Xiao Liu also bowed to Yang Fan to express their gratitude.
This time, if it weren't for Yang Fan by their side, they would have been doomed.
"Ah!" Yang Guo suddenly exclaimed, covering her eyes with both hands and retreating to Yang Fan's side. Her mouth trembled as she said, "Under that tree, there are many … many skeletons!"
Yang Fan couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw this. This girl was so timid, yet she dared to use her mental strength to look around.
Zhu Zhengqi and the others were startled and turned to look at the root of the pine tree. It was empty. There was nothing there.
Yang Fan waved his hand and blocked Yang Guo's mental strength detection. This girl was obviously so scared that her body was trembling, but she still didn't know how to withdraw her mental strength.
"You guys don't need to look. The skeletons are fifty meters underground. There are about two hundred and thirty-five of them." Yang Fan explained to Zhu Zhengqi and the others in a light voice, "They should be the innocent passers-by who were killed by this monster plant over the years."
Hearing this, several people were shocked at the same time. Zhu Zhengqi couldn't help but blast the ground open with his palm. His figure dived all the way down, and it only took a few seconds to blast a huge hole fifty meters deep in the ground.
At the bottom of the huge hole, there were white bones. Every skeleton was in good condition. Except for the missing flesh and blood, there was not the slightest bit of damage on the joints. Obviously, they did not experience any fierce battle before they died.
Thinking of the means used by the tree monster to confuse them, Zhu Zhengqi was silent. These people should be absorbing spiritual power and immersing themselves in the pleasure of cultivation promotion. Their blood essence was secretly sucked dry by the tree monster, and they died.
Zhu Zhengqi didn't count in detail, but the number was definitely not a small number. Perhaps as Yang Fan said, there were more than two hundred skeletons.
Swallowing so many people, this tree monster was simply a heinous crime. It deserved to die!
Zhu Jiacheng, Zhu Huawu and the others naturally also saw the situation in the hole from above. Their expressions changed dramatically at the same time. It turned out that Yang Guo wasn't talking nonsense just now, and Yang Fan wasn't an alarmist.
Under the roots of this tree monster, there were actually so many human skeletons buried!
While their hearts were filled with grief and indignation, they once again deeply realized that last night, if it weren't for Yang Fan's protection, they would most likely be silently sleeping here with these two hundred and thirty-five skeletons.
