Chapter 21: Immortal Spring God
After the first day of getting familiar with the surroundings.
In the following days, Li Boyang and Xiluo greatly increased their efficiency in slaying.
Under their sniping, those slightly stronger corrupted creatures were successfully killed.
The expansion speed of the entire black fog was also successfully slowed down.
Although the black fog continued to expand outward.
At least it wasn’t as frantic as it was at first, and the number of corrupted creatures going in and out was greatly reduced.
During this period, Li Boyang also encountered other migrating spirit monster mountain people.
Just as Xiluo said, spirit monsters like Panhu that choose to resist are a minority.
Whether it’s the spirit monsters living in the mountains, or the mountain people who sense danger, their first response is to move away from this dangerous place.
In fact, not to mention the spirit monster mountain people, even the vast majority of mountain gods and river gods also chose to avoid it.
On the contrary, Xiluo, wielding a Flying Sword and running around, became the topic of discussion among many mountain gods and river gods during this time.
It’s no wonder these mountain gods and river gods made such a fuss.
Li Boyang’s killing efficiency was just too high.
The extreme speed combined with that indestructible attribute, almost no normal creature could withstand the piercing and slashing of that Flying Sword.
As for those very few spirit monster gods who could have a few moves with the Flying Sword?
One can easily guess that with their strength, they couldn’t possibly be corrupted by that black fog.
Not to mention, Li Boyang wasn’t fighting alone.
Even if someone noticed that the Flying Sword’s endurance wasn’t great, they couldn’t ignore the constantly accompanying Xiluo.
In most people’s eyes, this mountain ghost who had lived for nearly a thousand years was the real dangerous character.
In these thousand years, whenever Xiluo encountered a difficult problem.
She would always take out some mysterious treasures at the critical moment.
Then, using ways unimaginable to ordinary people, she would easily resolve the corresponding crisis.
To those in the know, that Flying Sword with extremely high killing efficiency was just a treasure Xiluo took out to counter the Black Cloud Marsh crisis this time.
"That witch from back then... she really doted on this raccoon cat!"
In the depths of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, a colossal banyan tree manifested an ancient face on its surface.
For gods who entrust their life to the Earth Vein and Water Vein.
Theoretically, as long as they aren’t killed, they have endless longevity.
However, in a real world, "Immortality" is always rarer than "Longevity."
And now, this banyan tree was a god who had lived for over ten thousand years and would continue to live on.
Due to its long existence, it could no longer be defined by ordinary mountain gods or water gods.
Thus, the gods and spirit monsters living in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range also respectfully called it the "Spring God."
——Earth revives, all things wake up.
The banyan tree known as the "Immortal Spring God" may not be omniscient in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, but there were few things unknown to It.
The witch who migrated with her tribe from the Huai River to the mountains a millennium ago was like this.
The subsequent disturbances and disasters caused by the "Heavenly Falling Flames" not long ago were also like this.
"Heavenly Falling Flames, Earth Vein Evil Qi, plus that Nine Nether Yin Spirit..."
"What that thing lacks now is just a ’Pure Yang Body’!"
The gigantic banyan tree gently swayed its branches, then a small Kingfisher landed on a branch.
"Go and tell that little thing that what her sister left behind can be taken out now."
"If she’s willing..."
...........................
Five hours later, when the sun was high.
"Little brother! What is this? It looks so ugly!"
"Are you going to bury it because it’s too ugly?"
Not far from the village entrance, on a ridge, Big Girl was digging and looking intently at the ugly raccoon cat statue beside her.
"Ah!"
With a quite annoyed thump on the backpack, Li Boyang’s reaction immediately drew a burst of laughter from Big Girl.
"Haha! But it really is ugly!"
"If you hadn’t said it was a raccoon cat, I wouldn’t have figured it out at all."
Twirling her hips with a grin, Big Girl didn’t care about Li Boyang’s protest.
At her young age, Big Girl didn’t know what it means to flatter.
Naturally, she couldn’t just lie and say the statue was beautiful just because Li Boyang carved it.
"Little brother, I’ll make a raccoon cat for you later that will definitely be prettier than yours!"
As she collected the mud she dug up, Big Girl also smeared some on her face.
"Ah!"
Seeing Big Girl’s face turning into a patchwork again, Li Boyang urgently patted his backpack.
He could almost imagine the furious expression on his mother’s face when Big Girl went back with her face covered in mud.
The critical thing is that his mother likes to vent her anger!
Thinking of how his backside would suffer because of this, Li Boyang felt a strange sadness.
"Hehe, I knew I wasn’t the only one who thought that thing looked ugly!"
Just then, a red raccoon cat quietly slipped out of the nearby grass.
"Eh?"
"Talking kitty, you’re here again?"
Delighted, Big Girl wanted to reach out and pet Xiluo, but the latter dodged with a graceful leap.
"Are human children nowadays so fearless?"
Frowning, she glanced at Big Girl with disdain written all over her face.
Thinking about how the mud nearly got on her, Xiluo cautiously stepped back a few paces.
"Ah!"
Seeing this, Li Boyang in the backpack immediately waved in denial.
Big Girl was definitely an unusual bold kind of temperament among humans.
She was on guard when she first saw Xiluo, but now she wanted to pet her as soon as they met.
"Speaking of which, what are you two doing?"
Luckily, Xiluo didn’t mind Big Girl’s impudence. Instead, she looked curiously at the big pit by the side.
"Are you planning to bury this statue?"
Hearing this, Big Girl nodded.
Then, after glancing at the babbling Li Boyang next to her, she continued to explain.
"Yes, little brother said this way we can ward off the beasts trying to approach the village."
Blinking, Xiluo recalled the traps and obstacles she’d seen along the way, and her face showed a realization.
"Looks like your village is ready to face the coming beast tide..."
Pausing slightly, Xiluo continued with curiosity.
"But I have a question, why are you burying this statue in the ground?"
"Could it be because you think it’s too ugly to show, so you’re unwilling to let others see it?"
