Chapter 163

Yusu didn't expect the tree spirits to like him so much. Softening, he said, "After I finish handling my current tasks, I'll come visit you again."

The tree spirits replied, "You must come."

Yusu thought that they must feel lonely staying here all year round, so he nodded.

"I promise, I will definitely come."

Hearing this, the tree spirits reluctantly escorted them out.

Yusu and Luyan returned to Deer God Mountain. When their swords flew over Yucun, it didn't even startle the villagers.

Deer God Mountain remained peaceful, and the man in the red robe still lay on the large stone slab.

Qingze leisurely sat beside, eyes closed in meditation.

After Yusu and Luyan landed, Qingze looked at them.

"Mountain God, the medicine is here." Yusu presented two spirit medicines.

Luyan conveyed the message of the Life Tree, "The Life Tree asked me to tell you that you owe it a favor and should remember to repay."

Qingze nodded slightly, instructing them to place the medicine down.

Yusu handed the two spirit medicines to Qingze.

Yusu asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Qingze replied, "You don't need to do anything. Go about your business. I'll inform you when the person wakes up."

Yusu acknowledged.

...

Monster Beast Forest.

Yusu and Luyan, accompanied by the Little Black Bird, returned to the Monster Beast Forest. During their absence, the hill that was once covered in Spirit Fruit trees had been occupied by some monster beasts.

The Little Black Bird became anxious, "Those Spirit Fruits! Yusu, those Spirit Fruits have been growing for many years, rich in spiritual power. Hurry, help me harvest them back; don't let those low-level guys benefit."

Yusu's ears were almost deafened by its constant chirping, so he quickly agreed to pluck the fruits to stop the noise. He handed the creature to Luyan.

Luyan, holding the small mysterious bird, unexpectedly pinched its beak and said, "Quiet down." The bird, wide-eyed, seemed shocked by this bold action.

Back on the mountain, Yusu and the others faced low-level demonic beasts. The creatures hesitated to confront them and watched as Yusu and his group collected the spiritual fruits.

The small bird, having forgotten its silent ordeal, indulged in eating a juicy fruit while lying in Yusu's backpack.

After gathering the fruits, Yusu and Luyan left the mountain, continuing their search deeper into the demonic beast forest. A notification from the spirit elf warned Yusu of a deep cave ahead with the aura of a high-level demonic beast.

Upon reaching the cave entrance surrounded by bones and sticky threads, Yusu and Luyan devised a plan involving fire to flush out the potential threat. As the flames engulfed the cave, a formidable spider-like creature emerged.

A fierce battle ensued, with Yusu and Luyan coordinating attacks to overcome the poisonous and powerful creature. Despite the challenges, they successfully defeated the creature and extracted a demonic core.

Yusu, unimpressed by the pungent odor, urged Luyan to wash the demonic core. Using a water spell, they cleaned the core, preparing to continue their journey into the depths of the demonic beast forest.
