Chapter 40 - 40: Three Living Treasures.
Robert came out with Celli and looked at the endless forest in front of him. All the trees were covered with dense green leaves which became a perfect cover for predators to hide.
They have to be careful while exploring the place. Who knows from where they would be attacked.
"Celli, let's go." Robert nodded at Celli and walked forward.
Celli hurriedly followed him and asked, "Robert we have to survey the surroundings, right?"
"Yes, that's the primary goal but since we are already out we can take this opportunity to find other things," Robert asked as he checked the trees in front of him. It's over 100 meters tall and has a thickness of 20 to 30 meters.
This is a good material to make a house. He has a plan to make a simple house with woods because living in a cave is not the best option.
And caves can be used as secret places if the entrance is hidden behind the ridden house. Hmm, that's not a bad idea.
Although it will take a lot of resources it would be very useful and in the first place, they do not lack resources. He looked at the seemingly never-ending forest and thought.
"Other things? Like?" Celli became curious after hearing him. All she saw him was clicking on the trees one after another other than that he did nothing.
"Like collecting different resources or finding some heaven and earth treasure. Looking for water sources and edible animals living nearby." Robert thought for a second and listed all the things they can do this time. While talking he kept looking at the ground to see if there were any traces of animals here.
"Heaven and Earth treasures? I can do that!" Celli showed a startled expression and said,
"You can do it?" Robert was confused by this sentence as anyone can do it. Finding Heaven and Earth treasures are not that difficult a job.
"Look, I will show it to you." Celli saw his confused expression and her body started to become transparent. After she had the same appearance as a ghost she waved her hand at Robert and dived into the ground.
Only Robert was standing there scratching his head in confusion, What is she going to do?
It's not the first time he saw Celli in this form, When they first met she appeared like this.
After just a few seconds he heard Celli voice transmission, "Robert come here I found something."
Robert hurriedly ran toward the place where Celli called him and saw her standing no, Floating in front of a tree.
"What do you find?" Robert looked around and saw nothing special so he asked Celli immediately.
"It's inside the tree, It's Spirit Mushroom! Hehe, good stuff!" Celli smiled and pointed at the tree in front of her. He walked over and punched the tree making a hole in the trunk.
And he found a palm-size mushroom inside, Seeing this he was convinced that Celli could find Heaven and Earth spiritual herbs.
At best he can only find spirit herbs located on the surface of the jungle and not other places, Like inside the trees or below the ground but Celli could find it easily.
"Wow, I won the jackpot!"
"Hahaha, With this heaven and Earth Treasure head can finally break through the Foundation Realm!"
"From then the rise of the Corn Bunting clan will begin!"
Just as Robert picked up the mushroom he heard three voices from the top of the tree. He looked up and saw three birds were sitting on the tree talking while looking at the spirit mushroom in his hand.
He didn't need to recognise them as they started their species themselves. The corn bunting is a large, heavy-looking brown bunting with a particularly thick bill and they are big as his arms.
The leader in their mouth must be the bird sitting in the middle with a proud face. They talked as if they were already sure to win.
They are just at Qi Condensation Realm so where do they get confidence?
"Little bear don't worry I will not kill you because I am a magnanimous bird I will just take the spirit mushroom and leave."
"You should be honoured to give me the spirit mushroom. With this, I will change the history of the Corn Bunting clan by dominating the Dream Maple forest by becoming the emperor."
"Yes, the Rise of Corn Bunting clan is near."
"Emperor Corn Bunting is such a fitting name. The word emperor was just made for you."
The two fellows beside him started showing praise as they had already seen him dominating the whole forest.
Robert was feeling speechless seeing the spectacle in front of him. Dominating the whole forest with just the Foundation realm?
That is beyond delusional…
"Just because I am in a good mood I will give two of you a chance to become my loyal follower. I will cover you from now on." The leader Corn bunting looked at them and said generously as if he was giving them a huge opportunity.
"Leader you are too generous these imbecile creatures simply do not deserve this but alas leader you have a big heart that you are even willing to take stupid creatures like them under you." The bird on the left shook his head and said in an exaggerated tone.
"Yes, Yes this is the biggest opportunity in your life. Quickly kneel and accept it." The bird on the right looked at them and said with excitement.
Veins throbbed on the forehead of Celli as she kept listening to the stupid birds. She looked at Robert and said, "Robert, can I kill them?"
Robert was stunned after listening to the birds. These three are living treasures. He wondered how they survived till now. After hearing Celli he smiled wryly and shook his head.
"No, don't kill them but you can beat them." Robert could understand why she said this because these three are truly annoying. He wondered if all the people were the same…
He shivered thinking of this, If that's the case then they must have a notorious reputation and should be on top of the hunting list.
Just after he finished speaking Celli's figure disappeared in a flash and the next moment there was the cry of agony in the middle of the forest.
"Ouch don't throw me like that you female tyrannosaurus. I will expel you from-- ouch."
"You dare to call me tyrannosaurus? Are you seeking death?"
