Chapter 82: Ancient Creatures!

Bang! Bang! Under the attack of the ginkgo leaves, the Black Bear King actually stumbled back several steps, its eyes wide open and filled with shock, "You..."

It had wanted to curse the ginkgo tree roundly, but realizing the other party couldn't speak at all, it had to swallow the words back.

One must know that the Black Bear King hailed from the great mountains of the Northeast, which were filled with countless trees that had grown for hundreds or even thousands of years; furthermore, after that Seven-Colored Light Rain, these trees had gained sentience and transformed into Wood Spirits.

It had truly never seen a Wood Spirit as terrifying as this ginkgo tree.

Thump—

Thump—

As the ginkgo leaves flew, dozens of the Beasts brought by the Black Bear King were killed or wounded, and their cause of death was almost identical—they had all been pierced straight through by the ginkgo leaves!

"Boss, I think... I think I'm safe now..."

Bai Shijing came back to his senses from the shock, and while quickly approaching the ginkgo tree, he reported urgently to Lu Chuan, "In Jiang Luoli's Ginkgo Villa, there is a huge and ancient ginkgo tree."

"Just now, it was this ginkgo tree that killed..."

"A Wood Spirit?"

Hearing this rather unexpected news, Lu Chuan was also very surprised internally.

He carefully questioned Bai Shijing about the situation he had witnessed, forming a rough outline of that ginkgo Wood Spirit in his mind, and felt increasingly excited, though... once he thought about how this was Jiang Luoli's property, it naturally didn't seem strange at all.

"Then continue to gather information in Jianghai."

Coming back to his senses, Lu Chuan felt there was no point in continuing to comfort Bai Shijing, so he gave a direct order, "As soon as Jiang Luoli returns, tell me immediately."

After saying this, he cut off the connection with Bai Shijing directly.

Now that there was this Wood Spirit helping to deal with the Black Bear King, and its strength appeared to be not weak, Bai Shijing and the Jiangnan Supernatural Beings he led could be said to be very safe.

This put Lu Chuan's mind at ease quite a bit.

"Roar!"

On the outskirts of Ginkgo Manor, the Black Bear King let out an angry roar and charged over once again.

It didn't care about the deaths of its Beast underlings, but seeing a Wood Spirit dare to treat it this way made its heart burn with rage, and it wished it could destroy this obstructive ginkgo tree immediately, "This King will kill all of you, then destroy this manor."

"Including you, Wood Spirit!"

Whoosh—

The ginkgo leaves flew incessantly, continuously attacking the Beasts that were not yet dead and blocking the Black Bear King's path.

Just at this moment, a section of the ancient ginkgo tree's trunk suddenly caved in.

Immediately following, a silver beam of light shot out violently from that trunk, and the blinding radiance that erupted from it caused most people to hurriedly cover their eyes, not daring to look directly at it.

That silver beam of light was extremely fast, heading straight for the Black Bear King in front.

"Ah..."

A moment later, the Black Bear King let out a miserable shriek, appearing to have suffered a heavy blow, and the ginkgo leaves that had been flying all around drifted slowly to the ground.

The huge ginkgo tree in the manor seemed to have done nothing at all and simply fell silent.

Because the commotion all around gradually subsided, the crowd slowly opened their eyes, and were then dumbfounded—within their line of sight, the Beasts that had been aggressive just a moment ago were all fleeing toward the outside, as fast as they possibly could.

Even more shocking was that the Black Bear King had run the fastest, and now it was nowhere to be seen.

After a long while, the crowd finally came back to their senses one after another.

Bai Shijing came to Jiang Dahai's side, his face full of smiles, "House Master Jiang, this ginkgo tree of yours is quite something!"

"You are a blessed man!"

"Hehe, Alliance Leader Bai is joking..." Receiving Bai Shijing's praise, Jiang Dahai immediately began bowing and scraping, appearing very respectful in front of him, not at all like an elder, but rather like a subordinate of Bai Shijing.

He was a businessman who usually pursued profit, and when facing someone who could bring him benefits, he would naturally be amiable, but he had never been respectful to this extent.

Such a situation was enough to show Jiang Dahai's reverence for Bai Shijing.

If... Jiang Luoli knew that Bai Shijing was a subordinate subdued by Lu Chuan, and that her own father held this attitude toward Lu Chuan's subordinate, she would probably be angered to death!...

The edge of the Kunlun Mountain region.

After Lu Chuan subdued the Bull Demon, he took it with him, intending to leave this area.

However, with the world having changed drastically, the number of mountains and rivers had suddenly increased, causing huge changes to the terrain and landscape, so the original maps had more or less lost their effectiveness.

Under these circumstances, even Lu Chuan found it difficult to pinpoint the route.

"Master, right now the Great Xia headquarters is concentrating its energy on restoring communications."

Just at this moment, Lu Chuan received the news from Bai Shijing and was stunned for a moment, "I think that with their methods, they will likely send out drones to fly everywhere to conduct surveying work and redraw the maps."

"If that happens, Master, you may need to be extra careful, otherwise you might very well be discovered by humans!"

Bai Shijing was worried that Lu Chuan would meet with an accident after being targeted collectively by humans due to his tracks being exposed.

But after hearing this news, Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, then stopped in his tracks and thought to himself, "Very well, I won't go out for the time being."

"If I search blindly, I might even get lost because of it; it's better to wait a while and see if humans can restore communications as soon as possible!"

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan gave an order to the Bull Demon, telling it this idea and letting it move about freely for now.

He had already decided to develop in the vicinity of Kunlun Mountain for this period of time.

Previously, after humans launched the Ultimate Weapon, they had only heavily wounded one-tenth of the Beasts in Kunlun Mountain and had not fundamentally damaged the Beast race at all.

Now, many Beasts were terrified due to the previous turmoil and the drastic changes in the world, and a portion of them had run out of Kunlun Mountain, scurrying about everywhere.

Suddenly, a massive seven-colored peacock soared into the sky from within Kunlun Mountain.

Viewed from afar, this seven-colored peacock looked like a cloud of auspicious light, emitting a moving brilliance in the sky, instantly causing many nearby Beasts to be dazzled and entranced!

It soared to its heart's content in the sky for quite a while before letting out a loud cry, "Ree!"

Lu Chuan was proficient in the languages of all races, so he understood the meaning within this cry—this imprisoned space has finally opened! From now on, I am free...

"Whoosh—"

The next moment, an energy arrow shot toward the sky at an extremely fast speed, striking the seven-colored peacock before it could even react.

"Bang!"

After this energy arrow hit its target, it exploded with a boom, erupting with a tyrannical force; the Seven-Colored Peacock let out a mournful cry because of this, its figure appearing faintly unstable as it flew erratically in the air.

Because the Seven-Colored Peacock was attacked in the air, Lu Chuan saw this very clearly even from a distance of a hundred miles.

He watched silently for a moment, his gaze lingering on the energy arrow for a long time, and he did not look away even after it exploded.

At this moment, he exclaimed inwardly, "That arrow... was shot by Jiang Luoli!"

He was very familiar with Jiang Luoli's methods, so after seeing it clearly, he confirmed the source of the energy arrow.

The next moment, a thought arose in Lu Chuan's heart: "Go find her!"

Very quickly, a snake and a bull shuttled rapidly through the edge area of Kunlun Mountain, with the giant snake in the lead, guiding the way.

After traveling for more than ten miles, Lu Chuan once again sensed Jiang Luoli's aura through the ability 【Blood Hunting】.

He pondered for a moment, then hissed in a low voice to the Bull Demon, "Do you see that giant tree over there? Approach quietly, try not to make any noise."

"There is a human woman in that place; once you see her, strike immediately!"
