Chapter 234: Chapter 203 Ambush_1

Crack!

Xu Mu swung the Thunder Sword in his hand, splitting the tree branch that was blocking his way.

According to the white cat’s warning, flying would easily attract the attacks of monster beasts. So, to conserve spiritual power, Xu Mu chose to travel on foot.

“The trees here are really hard!”

Xu Mu picked up a branch that had fallen to the ground. The leaves were a lush green, and the trunks were all a dark brown color. Striking them with his finger, he heard a thud like that of gold or iron.

Grasping the branch in his hand tightly, it exploded with a bang. Splinters flew everywhere, some even shooting deep into the ground.

Based on his experiment, these seemingly ordinary trees have a hardness that surpasses common iron. With a bit of refining, they could be turned into decent low-level magic artifacts.

“This place is rich in spiritual energy and rife with dangerous animals. If they didn’t become resistant, they would not be able to survive.”

The puppet cat explained to Xu Mu in a bored manner.

“That makes sense!”

Xu Mu nodded in agreement.

Just like humans, plants would also evolve to adapt to their environment.

This is why regions rich in spiritual energy would produce more Spirit Plants.

Of course, they would also give rise to more dangers.

“It’s a pity that these plants and trees all contain evil spirit. Otherwise, I would have collected some!” Xu Mu lamented.

The spiritual energy here is abundant and it had been uninhabited for many years, making it a land filled with rare and exotic herbs, Spirit Fruit and Spirit Trees. If he could gather them, he would surely gain a great fortune.

“Although these trees cannot be used to make magic artifacts, they can be used

to make puppets, so they are not without value.

The puppet cat then continued as it stretched, “Although I told you to save your spiritual power, if you continue to move at this sluggish pace, you might end up consuming more.”

Unlike the outside world, evil spirit was everywhere here. Xu Mu had to constantly use his spiritual power to protect himself, causing him to continuously use his spiritual power.

The consumption would be even greater if he was using a defensive magical artifact.

“Elder, don’t be in such a hurry!! I am just trying to get used to the environment. Besides, your master didn’t specify a time limit, did he?” Xu Mu said, grinning.

“Whatever you like!”

The puppet cat lay lazily on his shoulder, its eyes squinting as if it didn’t want to bother talking to him.

Xu Mu wanted to pet it because it looked cute, but before his hand could touch it, a white light radiated from the puppet cat’s body, blocking his hand.

“What are you doing?”

The puppet cat suddenly opened its eyes, staring intensely at him with its deep black pupils.

“Senior, don’t misunderstand! I just wanted to pat you!”

II II

The puppet cat snorted coldly and jumped off his shoulder, landing on a nearby large tree.

“Noway!”

The puppet cat lifted its chin, looking disdainfully at Xu Mu. It looked exactly like a haughty little princess.

“If it won’t work, then forget it!”

Xu Mu dismissed it with a shrug and continued walking forward with his sword. The deeper he went, the taller the trees became, some even reaching up into the clouds like pillars supporting the world.

The hardness of these trees is sufficient to craft a fourth-tier Spiritual Artifact, and their heartwood could even serve as the main material for a sixth-tier Spiritual Artifact.

Unfortunately, these trees contain an even heavier evil spirit. Forget about using them to craft artifacts, merely holding them could disturb one’s mind. Even Demonic Dao cultivators would have to exercise great caution when using them.
