The Monk

Chapter 266 Living Tree

It was easy to find out the secret of the living tree. Zhang Pa summoned two mice, one earth-eating mouse, which could detect the movement on the ground and underground, and one hiding mouse, which could find rare treasures. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two mice appeared, the living trees around them really came alive, moving to seal the gaps, and the branches and leaves became longer and entangled tightly, surrounding Zhang Pa and the mice.

When the living tree moved, the quiet grassland immediately became lively. Thousands of monsters near the living forest fled in panic, and dared to stop only after running a few miles away, turning back to pay attention to the movement of the living tree. There were all kinds of monsters, and the largest number was still grass beasts, but at this moment no monster was interested in them. They were more concerned about what the living tree wanted to do? Who provoked them?

Zhang Pa found that the living tree moved unusually, and he put away the two mice immediately. The living trees around him were a little confused after losing their target. Some of them turned in circles, while others stretched out their branches to search for traces of mice. Strangely, the living trees were not interested in Zhang Pa and the grass spirits, as if they did not exist at all. After a little struggle, they failed to find the target, and the living trees slowly returned to their positions, and the calm forest returned to its original appearance.

The first monster to sense the calmness of the living trees was the grass beasts, and more than a thousand grass beasts disappeared in the distance in the blink of an eye. Only then did the living trees slowly stop swinging, and when the monsters knew that the danger was over and wanted to hunt the grass beasts, it was too late. Many monsters were ferocious and brutal, and they didn't like each other, so they provoked and shouted, and finally fought for their lives. The winners had a full meal, and the losers were eaten as food, and there was a lot of blood and flesh on the grassland, and there were also many white bones.

The monsters fought, and Zhang Pa was more and more shocked. You can't fly here, and the monsters move at an absurd speed. The fight between two monsters is like two groups of light and shadow fog of the same color fighting together. You can't see the movements clearly until you face life and death. This made him want to retreat, and it's better to leave such a terrifying place early.

Not to mention that he was a Jindan cultivator, even Yuanying masters suffered countless casualties on this grassland. In the frenzy of fighting between many monsters, the strong wind rolled up the grass leaves, and even rolled up pieces of cloth fluttering in the air. I don’t know which unlucky guy was killed. The evidence left behind. Zhang Pa hid in the forest to watch the excitement. Here, there is really one thing to defeat another. Unexpectedly, the most powerful thing is a forest. Zhang Pa asked Fatty Baby: "It's dangerous here, why don't you go to the grassland on the other side of the stone mountain?" Fatty Baby looked up at him, seemed a little puzzled, and asked: "You don't feel it?" "What do you feel?" Zhang Pa was a little confused. Fatty Baby thought for a while and said: "Take a step out." Zhang Pa took a step out of the living forest as he was told. As soon as he took a step, he felt that the world was big and I was the biggest. The surging spiritual energy rushed towards him, and it was so strong that Zhang Pa was a little surprised. Zhang Pa was sober and took a step back. The strong spiritual energy was blocked by the living trees, and people could no longer find the direction. Zhang Pa understood a little bit. No matter whether it was the ferocious monsters or the spiritual grass and fairy flowers, they all depended on this spiritual energy to survive. Without it, there was only one way to die. No wonder the grass beasts would rather endure the fate of being killed and live in danger. However, Zhang Pa was not interested in spiritual energy. There was no need to risk his life for a moment of curiosity. He discussed with Fatty Baby, "I have to go back."

Fat Baby was shocked and grabbed Zhang Pa's arm and shook his head anxiously: "No, what should I do if you leave? The three grass beast kings are still here." Zhang Pa was not so cold-blooded. After thinking about it, he said, "Then stay for a few more days." He took out a blanket and spread it on the ground, and lay down on it to rest and sleep. Fatty Baby squeezed beside him and fell asleep. He really didn't dare to leave.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye. There was no difference in the days that followed. From dawn to dusk, there were countless fights in the grassland. The monsters here are more like ordinary animals. They fight completely by their own instincts, without the strange spells of ice and fire in the outside world. But because of this, it seems more cruel. Survival is extremely difficult. Survival is the only goal. Here, life and blood are not worth mentioning.

Zhang Pa was hiding and watching the fun. Although he had the five elements armor to protect him, he knew nothing about the strength of the monsters. He always had to understand it before making a decision. Fatty Baby didn't urge him. As long as Zhang Pa didn't leave, Fatty Baby would be like having a life-saving talisman. He could go out to the living forest with Zhang Pa every day. He was a spirit grass spirit, and spiritual energy was the basis for survival, which he could never give up.

The grass beast king had a natural sense of danger. Although Fatty Baby was extremely tempting, the grass beast king didn't show up at all, which made Zhang Pa a little depressed. He couldn't stay here for the little fat boy. There were still a lot of people outside the Refining God Valley.

On the sixth day, he took Fatty Baby out of the forest to absorb spiritual energy. Zhang Pa wanted to explore whether there was a treasure here. He walked a few steps away and released the Tibetan rat away from the living forest. The living forest was as quiet as before, but the Tibetan rat was very active, and its little head pointed randomly in the east, south, west and north, as if there were rare treasures everywhere. Zhang Pa smiled bitterly and said, "It's really annoying that I can't get the treasure even though I know it's there."

Maybe releasing the Fu Shen Snake can help him find the treasure, but Zhang Pa didn't consider this problem at all. Compared with those illusory treasures, he cares more about the existence of the little snake.

After observing for many days, he had a general understanding of the strength of the monsters near the woods. They were fast and their strength was unknown, so he planned to be a bait and fight with the monsters.

Originally, he wanted to let Fatty Baby hide in the living forest. He thought that both of them were grass spirits and tree monsters and couldn't harm each other, but Fatty Baby didn't dare to do that, so he took him into the grassland. He chose a flat place with green grass less than knee-high, and he could see any movement in the grass at a glance. Fatty Baby stood behind him and followed him carefully.

Zhang Pa was spotted by a black panther after walking only 30 meters. Its fur was smooth and its muscles were strong and powerful. Its whole body was like a streamline, soft and reserved, yet full of danger. The black panther didn't even look at the fat baby. To it, the Poria cocos was just a monster that didn't fit in. It was only interested in Zhang Pa.

Zhang Pa took another step forward, and the black panther suddenly launched a silent attack, coming from a distance of several meters, biting Zhang Pa's head with blood. Zhang Pa had five layers of body protection and wore the five elements armor, but he still didn't dare to be careless. A long, crystal bone spur suddenly appeared on his forehead and pierced the black panther's mouth.

The black panther moved very quickly, dodging and hitting the bone spur, sweeping its tail, jumping up with all four limbs to avoid the bone spur, and then launching again after landing, biting Zhang Pa from behind.

Zhang Pa wanted to use his bone spurs to defend himself, but he was worried about the Five Elements Armor, so he jumped high like the black panther to avoid the attack. He shot the Moon Shadow Knife in his hand and pierced the black panther's body. The black panther was dead when it landed, and fell to the ground with a bang.

It seems that the black panther is not too powerful, and the Moon Shadow Knife can kill it. Examining the corpse, there is a white bead on the forehead, with spiritual energy lingering inside. It should be the most precious thing of the black panther. After taking it out and putting it away, he also put the black panther into the storage bag, and then waited for the next monster to come and provoke.
