Chapter 78 (1/2)
The seed took roots and sprouted It was full of vigor and energy, glealitters even after darkness settled in
In the stone box, the sprout was green as an agate It was crystalline and transparent The green shoot pierced through the crust of the earth and exuded a very powerful sense of lively vitality
Chu Feng was exhausted, but after breathing in the fragrance of the sprout, he felt all at ease
He had been hurrying on his way during the dayti These were done at the expense of his physical strength, but all these exhaustions were soon eradicated by the mere smell of the sprout
The green of the sprout was thorough, rendering the whole thing jade-like Chu Feng could see with his own eyes the rapid growth of this sprout Fro to a height of al place under Chu Feng's fervent gaze
In the twinkling of an eye, the sprout had already given birth to two pairs of delicate leaves
So far, Chu Feng could hardly tell if the sprout was going to becoreenish glow Everything still looked lively and energetic The box was bustling with lives
Chu Feng took a deep breath He could sense a restoration of strength in his body He started to run at a faster pace, venturing even deeper into this prier resided
He needed time He needed to evade Chen Hai In such a critical ti Chen Hai find him!
The , but the speed at which it grew started to slon However, things were getting stranger and stranger There was a hazy layer of reenish color The whole plant had now becoue and mysterious
Chu Feng ay too familiar with mountains like this He used to te that ti all kinds of beasts and birds of prey He knew these animals like the palm of his hand
His faranted hie over Chen Hai
There was an area of ht sulphur-like s knew at once that between those dense reeds, a fire crocodile
He wiggled around between the thick growth of reeds while consciously choosing where to land his feet Then, like a breeze of wind, Chu Feng cruised through thisits residents
He understood the habits and characteristics of the ani with the asyave away the location of the fire crocodile
”The crocodile is a valiant beast Hopefully, it could bug Chen Hai just a little bit!” Chu Feng had encountered the beastthis beast was plentiful for him
He still ran at a speedy pace Traversing throughhad chosen theof the beasts that resided in these danger zones had proven effective in helping him evade them
But, for Chen Hai, his journey was quite a bumpy one
Chu Feng was certain that Chen Hai would have to suffer a fit of turbulent encounters with the pesky beasts before finding him
Ahead of Chu Feng and in the canyons between two separate rown thicker
Chu Feng paused to observe He s found a particular plant arowth of brambles He quickly pounded the plant into paste with his feet then applied it to hi smell awfully terrible
Then, he ran like the wind, flashi+ng through the thick miasma between the mountains
There was a huge monster in thespeedily scurrying away The monster did not seem to care at all
Chu Feng traversed the forest unhindered All the places he chose to pass by were the ot into soed to extricate hier in the end
The forest was beco encountered was prehistoric Every now and then, Chu Feng would run into one of these beasts, but he could only try to evade them since they were almost impossible to deal with
The further Chu Feng ventured, the s beca some of the ”overlords” of the animals' domain
Chu Feng knew that his plan ht potentially lead hierous territories No matter hoell he knew about the habits and characteristics of those beasts, he would still most likely lose his life in the end
The path ahead of hi into yet another mountain, and behind that mountain, there was another They all looked the same, and if he ran into a thick ht never find his way back
”This should be it!”
Chu Feng thought that he should have shaken off Chen Hai by now He had won himself plenty of time, so it was time to stop
Because the plant in the stone box started to grow at an even faster rate The elongated stalk of this delicate sprout aying in the wind as Chu Feng hastily scurrying forward He orried, because the sprout ht break in two if he still acted so rashly around it
Right now, the plant had grown to a reen stalk of this plant was pouring out the unparalleled vibrancy of life Aue halo around it,itself all the more extraordinary
Chu Feng chose an advantageous terrain to settle down The plant and the stone box were left on the ground beside him
The place was peppered with towering trees In the distance, the sound of roaring beasts was incessant
”Is this a vine or a tree?” Chu Feng was astounded
It was certainly not a grass Its main trunk was as thick as a thuht The plant branched off halfway through into so that looked both like a branch and a cane
The plant looked like a tree, because it was perfectly straight; but it resembled a vine just as htly bent too, providing an anchorage point for the parts above it to spread onto so else
The leaves and the canes were both in the sareen They were so verdant that it seemed almost as if it were about to drip water
The leaves were eerily shaped too They looked just like the palhtly breeze passed by, the whole plant moved like a thousand-hand Bodhisattva
There werenoticed that they looked rather similar to those he found on the seeds
There were also some on the main trunk The lines were clear and deeply carved in
Looking froreen light It looked vague because of the thick ht a sense of tranquillity and serenity Everything had never been so mysterious too
The stone box had no observable changes throughout this series of progression It still looked sirave
”Huh?!” Chu Feng was surprised to realize that the plant started show abnorain
It grew against the wind, reaching a height of around one fifty centirew out from the confinement of stone box and took roots in the forest soil
Those roots were also green, and they looked just as equally crystalline as the rest of this plant
Rootstocks of this plant were abundant They entered the soil then started to greedily take up any nutrients that were needed for the growth of the plant
Soon, the stone box became covered by these verdant roots, hidden from the public's eye
Chu Feng's eyes were sparkling with excite that was eerily pleasant to the eye
Since the very first change that had taken place inside the stone box, Chu Feng had already known that the seed would most probably take roots and sprout in just a few days or so However, it had really co so fast at such an unprecedented rate
He was expectant, and he was also filled with a sense of accomplishment
The ht started drooping down onto the forest's soggy soil as the night sky became clear and starry
Underneath the brightand crystal-clear, and it looked like an exquisite piece of jade carving It was so verdant that it had al's heart break into pieces
Finally, the growth of this plant stopped when it reached the height of an average man
It looked like a green vine, but it had not entangled onto anything else It could stand perfectly straight on its own There were a few branches, and all of which had been shi+elded by a thick growth of palm-like leaves
It emitted streams ofshi+ne flowed along the trunk of the plant slowly like a mysterious sphere of halo
Suddenly, on the tip of the green vine, a bright light started to shi+ne It had an unmatched splendidness Meanwhile, the vitality of this plant had also suddenly becoorous It looked even more lively than before!
Chu Feng was shocked and astonished He stood and watched in awe
At the tip of the strange vine, green light ca Behind all that blinding halo, there was a green bud-shaped thing growing Chu Feng squinted his eyes and looked carefully It was a bud indeed, and just like the trunk of the plant, it grew at an unprecedented speed!
Chu Feng nervously watched it growing At the same time, he was very excited too
Everything was beyond belief The seedannoyance when it was reluctant to show any signs of growth, but when it resuscitated, its growth started to stun the world! For Chu Feng, this was unbelievable!
