Chapter 34
Chapter 34
Two hours later, the army of tree demons finally stopped, once again stopping by a stream. To the tree demons, they could lack anything, but water.
And the reason they stopped was not that they thought they were safe, but because…
“Rustle, rustle, rustle! (I can’t run anymore.)”
“Rustle! (I didn’t sleep enough. I’m not running anymore.)”
“Rustle, rustle, rustle! (So what if I die? who hasn’t died since ancient times?)”
Ji Ruo, who could understand what he was saying, was speechless.
These tree demons had actually started to give up.
They were talking to each other and promised to be good friends in their next life.
Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian worked together to put the tree demon back on its original stump-perhaps because it was missing a large part of the trunk, it was very light and much faster than the other tree demons.
After the tree demon returned to its original position, it kept thanking Ji Ruo and Liang Shixian. The branches that were dancing wildly and the leaves that were rustling made Liang Shixian a little worried. “Did the tree demon realize that they were not tree demons and wanted to attack them?” he thought.
The other tree demons found that this tree demon, who should have been waiting for death, had followed them. They immediately surrounded it, shaking its branches, and clicked their tongues in wonder.
Liang Shixian was extremely vigilant. He clenched the small wooden stick in his hand tightly. Unlike Ji Ruo, who was still carrying the weapon he had taken at the beginning of the martial arts examination, Liang Shixian’s weapon had been lost during the large-scale change in the earth line.
Ji Ruo was not nervous. He could hear the conversation between the tree demons, and he knew that they were just talking about their last words.
He chuckled and interrupted from time to time, really treating himself as a member of the big tree demon family.
At this moment, the leader of the tree demons came over. Its thick trunk and huge crown cast a shadow over Liang Shixian and Ji Ruo. A branch with countless green leaves slowly reached toward them.
Liang Shixian’s heart tightened. He pulled Ji Ruo and wanted to run, but Ji Ruo did not move.
“Don’t panic, class president,” Ji Ruo said with a smile.
The tree demon leader’s branch shook slightly. “Rustle, rustle, rustle! (Thank you, fellow brothers. The situation was urgent at that time and we couldn’t take care of that comrade. Now that I think about it, I’m still a little ashamed.)”
“You’re welcome. You’re very welcome. It’s what I should do, hehe,” Ji Ruo said with a smile.
The leader continued, “Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle! (By the way, you haven’t answered my question yesterday. What kind of tree are you? We tree demons don’t reject new members, but I really can’t recognize what kind of tree you are.)”
“Leader, we are fertilizer trees,” Ji Ruo said after a moment of silence.
The tree demon leader’s branch froze. “Rustle, rustle. (Fertilizer tree? What kind of tree is that?)”
“I don’t know how to explain it.” Ji Ruo continued, “But, we can produce fertilizer. Let me show you. ”
Then, in order to make it more convincing, Ji Ruo ran to the tree demon leader and started relieving himself.
“Pitter-patter!”
Liang Shixian was speechless and mused, “He’s really gutsy! He’s peeing at the tree demon’s feet?”
The chief tree demon felt the sudden absorption of nutrients by the roots, and it was shocked. “Rustle! (Unbelievable!)”
It could not see the exact scene, but it could vaguely sense that the nutrients were indeed from Ji Ruo. It was the fertilizer tree. There was actually such a magical tree species in this world.
Ji Ruo thought for a while and said, “Leader, we can digest some non-toxic and harmless spiritual fruits and the flesh and blood of some demon beasts that are edible for ordinary creatures. After a while, we can turn these things into fertilizer for the growth of our tree demon. But the conversion rate is a little low.”
The tree demons exclaimed, “Rustle, rustle! (A divine tree!)”
“That’s right!” Ji Ruo gave him a thumbs up and said, “We are the divine trees that the tree demon tribe needs for traveling!”
The leader of the tree demons said,” Rustle, rustle, rustle. (You said that you can digest non-toxic and harmless spiritual fruits and some demon beast flesh and turn them into fertilizer?)”
“That’s right!” Ji Ruo said.
Suddenly, the wind did not stop, and the trees became still.
For a moment, the tree demon stopped shaking its branches.
Liang Shixian stared at the tree demons nervously. He could only understand Ji Ruo’s words, but not the language of the tree demons.
Therefore, he had no idea what was going on, and why the tree demons suddenly stopped moving.
Suddenly, he was startled.
A tree demon extended a branch with a spiritual fruit on it to Liang Shixian.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle. (Here. Digest it! I’ll have to trouble you to give me something warm!)”
Liang Shixian did not understand, but it didn’t stop him from being confused.
The tree demon’s actions were like a signal. More and more tree demons extended their branches in front of them, as if they were giving them food.
“Ji Ruo, this…” he said.
Liang Shixian was dumbfounded.
Ji Ruo did not explain. He just picked a spiritual fruit and said, “Go on and eat. What are you standing there for? Remember not to run too far when you want to relieve yourself or defecate. Let the tree demon brothers eat something warm!”
In the beginning, Ji Ruo didn’t expect that he would unlock a new symbiotic relationship with the tree monsters.
After thinking for a while, Ji Ruo said to the leader, “Leader, the spiritual fruit can only produce that kind of fertilizer. We can produce another kind of fertilizer that is even more fertile, but we will need the flesh of demon beasts…”
The effect of [Diplomatic Spokesperson], [disguise], [immersion] was extremely terrifying.
In addition to Ji Ruo’s demonstration and the fact that these tree demons did not even have any visible organs, no tree demon would doubt him.
The chief tree demon shook its crown and said, “Rustle, rustle, rustle! (Fellow comrades, do you hear that? Let’s get going and eat our fill before we die!)”
The terrifying spiritual and demonic aura was still present. The tree demons did not know what the specific situation was, and they could not even think of resisting.
However, that did not stop them from enjoying life.
There was no conflict.
In an instant, the roots under the tree demons’ feet surged, and dense branches and vines spread in all directions, frantically attacking some of the low-level demon beasts that were escaping from them.
The secret realm of Myriad Beast Mountain was in chaos because of the terrifying dspiritual and demonic aura coming from the top of the mountain, but the tree demons were reveling in this chaos.
Some tree demons even stuck their branches into the stream and caught fish.
They had caught demonic beasts and demons.
They kept in mind Ji Ruo’s request, ‘Demon beast flesh that can be eaten by ordinary creatures.’ Therefore, after some monsters were caught, they were thrown away like garbage. The crickets could not be converted by the fertilizer tree.
The demons that had been thrown away looked at the tree demons that had fallen into some kind of madness in fear and turned to escape.
A moment later, Liang Shixian looked at the large number of demon beasts tied up by branches and vines in front of him and was extremely shocked.
Those demonic beasts were still alive and had not been killed by the tree demons. They were struggling with all their might.
However, these low-level demonic beasts, who had already been scared out of their wits by the demonic and spiritual aura coming from the mountain top, were unable to break free.
“That’s right.” Ji Ruo said happily, “Line up and do it one by one. The demon beasts must be alive so that we can ‘digest’ them more easily. Don’t worry, everyone will get a share of the fertilizer!”
The reason why they wanted to keep it alive was that Ji Ruo and the others couldn’t finish it all at once. There were no preservation methods in Myriad Beast Mountain, and if the demonic beast meat was left for too long, it would go bad.
Then, Ji Ruo turned to Liang Shixian and said, “Class president, come and help us. We’ll have a feast today!”
Liang Shixian looked at Ji Ruo in confusion as Ji Ruo started to kill the demons and cut their skin and meat. He had a strong desire to vent internally.
The style of this martial arts examination was heading was more and more abnormal.
“Class president, what are you doing? Don’t just stand there!” Ji Ruo saw that Liang Shixian was rooted on the ground and could not help but urge him.
Liang Shixian took a deep breath. He wanted to tell Ji Ruo not to be so arrogant, but his words changed when they reached his mouth. “Do you want to marinate the meat first?”
