Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 475: Chapter 356: Three Stones and the Buddies from Liu Village (1) (First Update) _2

Jiang Hui was not worried about Gu Chen getting into trouble.

Given the strength of the young man at this point, even if he was not able to make any gains, he would surely escape before danger bestowed.

It is worth mentioning that.

A short while after Gu Wa Zi entered the Divine Fruit Forest, Shi Hao also discovered this precious grove.

Compared to before entering the Immortal Ancient, Little Dot was accompanied by several people, all of whom were indigenous inhabitants of the Immortal Ancient.

These natives were not born in these small worlds, but were the descendants left behind by some of the heavenly prides who had entered the Immortal Ancient in a moment of passion, and their numbers had reached a considerable level over time.

Although many talents surpassing the common crowd were among them, due to the harsh survival environment in the small world, and the Law Order being too broken and fragmented, it was difficult to achieve anything, even with extraordinary talent.

Gu Wa Zi and Shi Hao hit it off right away. They flew straight into the Divine Fruit Forest, naturally facing an immediate attack from swarms of Black God Insects.

But the two were all with an overwhelming divine power, unparalleled physique, and the most exaggerated heavenly prides today. Their aggressive aura was relentless and enveloped themselves, they forcefully withstood the onslaught of Black God Insects and made it to the edge of the fruit grove.

In the dense grove, fist-sized fruits swayed in the wind, exuding an extremely rich aroma. Just the scent alone intoxicated Gu Chen and Shi Hao, unable to resist picking a few on the spot to taste.

“They are actually Semi Ginseng Fruits!” Gu Chen was overjoyed. He hadn’t expected the divine fruits growing in this grove to be the rare Treasure medicinal plant related to the legendary Longevity Medicine, the Ginseng Fruit.

Although it wasn’t a proper Divine Fruit Forest, it could still be called a Semi-Divine Fruit Forest. The most important thing was the high quantity; there were at least hundreds of them at first glance, which were simply unheard of in the outside world because they were too rare and precious.

“Brother Chen, let’s see who can get more. Shall we have a competition? The stakes are five fruits!”

Shi Hao’s eyes too were also shining, his gaze firmly locked on the fruit trees before him, which were spewing dawn light, bearing divine fruits resembling infants.

In the legend, the Semi Ginseng Fruit is very similar to the real Longevity Medicine, the Ginseng Fruit, the latter could even evolve into the real Ginseng Fruit.

However, their competition didn’t last too long and ended quickly because a bug king from the Divine Realm appeared among the swarm of insects, specifically waking up from its slumber to chase them down.

Although Gu Wa Zi and Little Dot were indeed top heavenly prides, they could at most resist a True One being creature. But when faced with a Celestial God, if they were to confront it head-on, they wouldn’t have slightest ability to resist.

After exhausting every trick in the book, the two finally managed to escape. Even though they were all bloody and their skin was starting to burst, their spirits were high and they weren’t fatally injured. Given their life levels, such wounds could be fully recovered in a short time.

“Brother Chen, I’ve picked twenty-six. How many did you pick?!”

Beside a green stone several meters tall, Shi Hao swung the basket on his back, his face filled with joy. He felt like he was definitely going to win this time. Back in Stone Village, he was adept at picking fruits and had lots of experience.

“Hahaha, I’ve to concede to Brother Stone, I picked sixty-two!”

Gu Chen showed a broad smile, took the storage bag from his waist and upended it. Semi Ginseng Fruits poured out with a clatter.

Jiang Hui had gotten these bags from the dragon egg, and there were quite a few of them. Each disciple-level heavenly pride in the village had one. Though the storage bag wasn’t large, about a hundred square units, it was portable. As long as the items weren’t too large, they could fit inside, so it was quite useful.

“How’d you get so many? How did you do it, Brother Chen?” Shi Hao was taken aback.

He had especially counted them to make sure, and there were undoubtedly sixty-two fruits, no cheating. It was several times his share, which surprised Shi Hao. One or two more would have been understandable, but this many more was a bit awkward.

“Lord Willow God once gave me an item that can hide my breath. I used it just now, and those bugs couldn’t detect me. That’s why I could freely pick. Otherwise, the two of us would not have had much of a difference.”

Gu Chen did not conceal anything and told the truth.

Of course, Gu Wa Zi left one thing unmentioned: he had already ignited the Divine Flame, so his strength was a bit stronger.

Even though they hadn’t officially entered the True One Realm, it was just a matter of time. Based on their current foundation, it was estimated that they could formally cross into the realm of True God after leaving this Immortal Ancient land. From then on, as long as their vital energy didn’t run out, the Divine Flame would never die out. Even in the Upper Realm, they could be considered formidable.

Of course, Shi Hao didn’t know these things. Seeing Gu Wa Zi so confident, he suddenly wanted to say, “Brother, you’re quite crafty.” No wonder when he proposed a challenge, Gu Wa Zi readily agreed.

Shi Hao accepted the loss willingly, though he felt Gu Wa Zi had played a small trick.

…

…

Around the smoky lake, a thin mist hung like a veil.

In a blink of an eye, ten more days passed. Gu Wa Zi, Shi Hao, and the others traveled at their leisure and discovered many more treasures.

Apart from the Divine Fruit Forest, they found a lot of precious ancient medicine, exuding a strong medicinal fragrance that covered dozens of kilometers. These were rarely seen in the Lower Realm, and if matured, they could even evolve into Divine Medicine, all of which were quite valuable.

They naturally wouldn’t pass up such opportunities, dividing up the area between them. Some would say they were like locusts, leaving nothing behind.

The native people accompanying Shi Hao also gained a few treasures. They didn’t acquire much, just a few per person, but they were thrilled. These treasures were beyond their wildest dreams.

One day, explosive news spread through the various miniature worlds of the Immortal Ancient land.

One of the Ten Evil Lairs had emerged.

This caused a sensation, and many talented individuals were mobilized.

Gu Chen and Shi Hao also planned to explore the Ten Evil Lairs, gathering all kinds of information about its location.

The treasures it held could contain unimaginable legacies, and if they could obtain them, the trip would be worth it.

However, after half a day of exploring, they realized they were near the Ferocious Beast’s lair, like looking for a donkey while riding on it.

“No wonder there’s a Semi-Divine Fruit Tree growing here. It turns out it’s actually one of the Ten Evil Lairs. I just don’t know which Evil it belongs to!” Shi Hao sighed, curiosity piqued.

Half a day later, they arrived at a vast open area, surrounded by peaks that blocked out sunlight and were filled with a surging atmosphere.

The peaks towered into the clouds and rose from the ground like a range of mountains. They could not see where they ended and they were massive amidst the wilderness.

What caught the eye was the color of the mountains. The soil was of a suppressed dark red, as if a mighty being had once shed blood here. A strong scent of blood lingered in the air, but it was not unpleasant.

When they arrived, many talented individuals had already gathered outside the mountains. Even though they had just ignited the Divine Flame and entered the realm of Deity not long ago, they weren’t inferior to the older Deities.

“I remember hearing a legend about this place, Demise Immortal Ridge. It is said that once, immortals came to compete for the Ten Evil opportunities, but failed in that era due to their sheer numbers. Many met their end here, their bodies lying in front of this mountain range, hoping for entrance to the Ten Evil Lairs,” a native who was with Shi Hao recalled and explained.

“Brother Shi Hao, that person looks a lot like you!” As they stopped at the mountainside, Gu Wa Zi noticed a teenager in the crowd.

The teenager radiated a terrifying aura. Wearing a white robe, it was the Eternal Life Battle Robe bestowed by Qin Chang Sheng. It emitted numerous silver ripples that resembled waves of water. It was very eye-catching and drew attention from many.

Other than the teenager, Gu Wa Zi also recognized several familiar faces. All were old acquaintances, like Tu Wa Zi, the Half-demon Teenager, God Flame Man Reincarnation, and others. They were all his old friends who rushed over after hearing about the emergence of the Ten Evil Lairs. They hid in various corners, watching secretly like Gu Wa Zi, ready to enter the Demise Immortal Ridge.

Seeing so many brothers gathered at this place, Gu Wa Zi’s heart settled down a bit.

No doubt, there was comfort in numbers!
