Chapter 591: The Queen of Instant Cowardice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"I am!" Lonemoon took a step forward.
The queen shifted her massive body and came slightly closer. A pair of compound eyes the sizes of half a human head each instantly reflected millions of the opposite figure. She laughed coldly after a moment. "Human, you are very brave, do you know that in these few thousand years, you are the first human who dared to come into my nest."
"Queen, I mean no offense." Lonemoon frowned, his impression of the insect race was still left at the horror films from his previous life, all he could was look at the insect before him as a large scale demon monster. "But the egg that you took away is extremely important to us, please return it to us."
"You're referring to this?" She suddenly shifted her belly, and they could see that various types of eggs underneath, the one right in the middle was that colored egg. She directly stretched out two feelers and picked that colored egg up, the pair of icy compound eyes looked towards Lonemoon once again. "You want this egg?"
Lonemoon nodded. "Yes."
She suddenly laughed, that laughter was very odd, it sounded like some kind of howling, so sharp that it was slightly ear-piercing, and there was no emotion in it, just like she was simply reading out her lines. "You humans can always discover some weird things. The same goes for this egg, it looks like it doesn't have much energy but in actuality, the energy in here is purer than any other. You all can't tell, but I can feel it."
Lonemoon frowned but heard her continue to say, "Do you know why I'm collecting these eggs?" As if not needing his answer, she then said, "My children's sentience are limited, they think its purely out of liking so they go around finding eggs for me to nest, but they don't know that I've merely taken a fancy to the energy in these eggs, that they can ease the damage on my body."
"The insect race has always depended on the queen for survival, as long as I exist, the insect race will not go extinct." She waved her feelers, rotating the colored egg on it while her voice became lower. "But when I passed through to this Void Land, I suffered unrepairable injuries, this led to my birthing speed dropping severely. As such, our insect race could no longer enjoy the past glory that we had. But this egg could temporarily ease up such injuries, especially this specially pure one."
"..."
"So human..." Her voice dropped, faintly containing some mockery. "Do you think I willr return this to you again?"

Lonemoon's brows knitted even more tightly, in this case, it seems like being reasonable wouldn't work. "Then queen you ought to know that since I dare to come to your nest, I must get that egg and we are not afraid of fighting."
The queen let out that odd laughter once again, the millions of figures in the compound eyes became even clearer, making one very uncomfortable. After a moment, she said, "Human, you don't need to threaten me. From the moment you stepped into this royal court, I could already sense the capabilities on your bodies. You are indeed very strong, but not to the extent where you have no weaknesses."
Lonemoon faltered, after a sense, he instantly felt his body became sluggish, the divine power in his body felt like it was being locked up, this feeling was slightly familiar, just like... the previous time he was forced to marry by the peach flower demon. He was shocked. "The flowers here..."
"Did you finally notice?" The queen's laughter became louder. "Why do you I talked to you here for such a long time, I've said it long before, I am different from those children of mine with low sentience. Whereas you humans have always been arrogant, loving to materialize the other races that do not have human forms."
F*ck! Lonemoon also felt that he was too careless. This queen was more intelligent than the average demon monster, even more cunning than average humans. She'd never thought of giving the colored egg to him, she'd merely set up a trap for him to walk into.
On the other, Buggy was already a little anxious, he glanced at Lonemoon, then peeped at the queen. "My queen..." The natural instincts of his race made he that he could not say anything that could rebut his queen and he could only panic.
"The energy in your body is also quite interesting." The queen directly crawled two steps closer to him, the pair of cold compound eyes now contained some killing intent. "Perhaps after absorbing your energy, my injuries can heal even faster." With that said, she lifted her front legs that resembled big shears.
"On Buggy's account, we do not wish to fight you." Lonemoon's surprise earlier only lasted a moment, he resumed his composure immediately. Back then, that flower demon could control him, was mainly because of he had been drugged, he wasn't sober, it wasn't that those flowers could restrict him, he was a manager after all. "Do you really think that by using these flowers to lock up my divine power, you'd be able to win?"
The queen faltered, seeming to reminded of something, then she smiled again, saying, "Are you talking about the two people outside?" She sneered coldly. "Foolish humans, do you really think they can save you? Alright, anyway all of you will become my food, I do not mind letting you have a reunion."
With that said, she let out another inexplicable sound, in the next second, the footsteps of two people sounded from outside. In moments, two familiar figures reflected on the screen at the entrance.
"I would like to see if they too, have such abundant energy, like you?" Once her words fell, two figures walked through the screen into the room. "Naive humans, I will never be defeated..."
Huh?
Her words became stuck as her entire body trembled abruptly like she had been struck by a wave and was in extreme shock. It was a male and a female who walked in, the male was emitting a robust energy all over, whereas the female...
Big... big... big... big devil...
Σ(°△°|||)
With a few spurts, her tail shook as she was so terrified that strings of eggs spurted out.
"Hey!" Shen Ying looked up and swept a glance at the queen. "It's a big insect."
"..."
In the next second, the queen, as swift as lightning, laid flat on the ground and raised the egg between her feelers, bringing it to Shen Ying's front.
"Mdm Shen Ying, your egg!"
She became timid in a sparking moment, that caught everyone by surprise! It was as if the person who was swollen with inordinate arrogance earlier, wasn't her.
Lonemoon: "..."
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Yi Qing: "..."
Buggy: "..."
Heh heh, indeed, "timidity upon seeing Ying" was a fine tradition of the insect race!
"Oh." Shen Ying reached out and took the egg. Her fingers but twitched but she still managed to hold back from habitually pulling the queen over together.
The queen hastily retracted her feelers and retreated instantly. The whole insect shrank to the other end of the room, her massive body fought to curl up, working hard to reduce her presence. The arrogance from earlier had vanished, like it never existed, she even didn't dare to lay anymore eggs.
Chapter 592: Finding Clues
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lonemoon was speechless, it felt like he had met a fake queen earlier. But he was too lazy to bother with her and walked right towards Shen Ying, looked at the egg in her hands and asked, "How is it Shen Ying, is this the spirit seed?"
Shen Ying frowned, only replying moments later. "Perhaps..." With that said, her hands tighten, with a crack, the spirit seed was crushed.
"Damn, Shen Ying what are you... huh?" He paused midway, instantly stunned. "It's empty!" How could this be, he looked closely at her palms, there was only the empty eggshells, there was nothing in it at all. Even that aura of original source that was initially on it had vanished.
For a moment, the gazes of all three people fell onto a certain massive being.
"It... It has nothing to do with me, Mdm!" The queen shivered as her entire body began trembling, a layer of dust fell from the room, looking like it was about to collapse from her shaking. "I... I've never opened that egg, I only absorbed some of the energy on the shell. Really! I swear!" As she spoke, she lifted eight claws and two feelers, leaving only a huge belly to maintain her shape.
"This spirit seed might not have been in this egg from the start." Yi Qing said in a low voice. "This might be why we couldn't sense its location no matter what in the Immortal Spirit Academy previously." The Qi of the original source on the shell was too weak, without it being in their presence they couldn't sense it too. At the beginning, they'd thought it was because the egg shell was hiding the spirit seed, they didn't expect the spirit seed to not be here at all.
On further thought, Lonemoon thought that makes sense too! It seems like this queen wouldn't dare lie to Shen Ying too. Besides, spirit seeds carried such concentrated Qi of the original source, if it was really in the insect nest, it was impossible that they were unaware.
"What do we do now?" He frowned, their lead was broken again. "Where do we go to find it?"
"The egg shell is here now, then it's highly possible that the spirit seed had already broken away from this form." Yi Qing also frowned. "Right now we do not know what form it will appear in, we're indeed at a loss of where to start looking."
Both of them went silent, they didn't think it would be a futile attempt.

"Why don't we find and ask fish bone?" Shen Ying suddenly suggested.
"What fish bone?" Lonemoon was confused then came to a realization a moment after. "You're referring to Ling Wen Xuan? Why him?"
On the other hand, Yi Qing faltered before hastily reminding, "Father Niu, do you remember how Ling Wen Xuan injured his legs?"
"Ah?" Lonemoon was still lost. "Didn't they say it was during a mission from the academy that he met a demon monster and even brought this spirit... damn!" He was instantly enlightened, his eyes widened abruptly. "Could it be that he was the one to bring this spirit seed back?!"
Ling Hong had mentioned to him that the first prize of the league was something that was found during the time Ling Wen Xuan injured his legs in a mission. This proved that they must have encountered danger before finding it, Ling Wen Xuan was even injured, then he naturally ought to know what happened then.
"Let's go, we'll go back to find him!" He walked out directly, Shen Ying and Yi Qing followed.
In a moment's time, three people disappeared from the room. A certain massive being that was still curled up in a corner then sighed in relief carefully, while still not daring to let out sounds there were too loud, afraid of bringing the people who'd already left back.
She actually didn't die, she was actually still alive, her race was still well! She really wanted to cry...
——————
The few of them flew very quickly, in less than ten minutes they were back in Yang City and heading right for Ling Hong's house. Ling Hong had gone to the academy, when they arrived, he'd yet to return, Ling Wen Xuan who opened the door was stunned for a moment when he saw them before he ushered them in.
"My three benefactors, why are you here?" He was delighted and invited them to sit. In the short period of a few days, his legs had already recovered, he could walk like a normal person. Lonemoon swept a glance and found that the demonic aura in his body had completely dissipated and he had resumed his Golden Core cultivation.
"I was intending on personally paying you a visit to give my thanks after my brother returns, I didn't expect you all to come here first." He looked at the three of them and questioned after a thought came to mind. "I remember that it is the day of the finals today, why did Ling Hong not return together?"
"We had something on so we left first." Lonemoon replied, "We disrupted you today because we had a matter that we wanted to ask Fellow Daoist Ling for some information about."
"You're too polite, just call me Wen Xuan." His smile was exceedingly gentle. "The recovery of my legs was all thanks to the help of you guys. Wherever you need, please feel free to let me know, climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of flames, I will not say no."
"Not at all, fellow daoist." Lonemoon habitually said a word of courtesy.
We only helped to refine the fish bone, it's not considered any great act of kindness."
Yet his expression became even more solemn. "What are you saying! My brother couldn't tell, but how would I not know. Regardless of how unusual the Red Scented Fish bone was, it cannot cure my legs and recover my cultivation." He said directly, "The medicine you gave me that day was completely different from what my brother had produced, I understand that it was you all helping me in the dark that I could recover so quickly!"
As he spoke, he dropped to his knees and solemnly bowed to the three of them. "Thank you all, for the grace of rebirth!"
"Don't mention it, Wen Xuan!" He didn't expect him to be a wise one, that was great then. Lonemoon quickly helped him up. "The last time was just a small matter, but now we indeed have something that needs to trouble you."
"Please speak!" Ling Wen Xuan seemed to have noticed their haste and asked directly, without any delay.
"Could please tell us in detail about this rainbow colored egg?" He brought out the colored egg that had been broken by Shen Ying earlier on and was repaired by his spell. "Where did you find this that day, did you encounter anything?"
"This... colored egg?" Ling Wen Xuan faltered, glancing at the egg, a trace of surprise flashed across his face at once. "Turns out you won the championship of the league! Congratulations fellow daoist." He excitedly congratulated before answering, this egg was found on a mission I went on with a teacher from the academy to the northern flame mountain."

He thought back carefully before continuing to say, "The Flame Mountain is a fire mountain, there are many demon monsters deep in the Flame forest near it. Back then it was because high level demon monster charged into a city and they were unable to handle it, and so requested for Immortal Spirit Academy to help out. And this colored egg was found in the den of the demon monster after we exterminated it."
"Other than this, did any unusual things happen?" Lonemoon continued to question.
"No." He shook his head. "If you were to say unusual... that demon monster was surprisingly aggressive, even teacher couldn't guard against it completely, that's why I..." He subconsciously looked down at his own legs and sighed. "After I was bitten, I lost all my cultivation and was totally unable to use any spells."
Hold on! Cultivation?
Chapter 593: Friendship between Classmates

Lonemoon paused and turned back to survey him, something seemed to be coming up yet he couldn't catch onto it.
Until Chef suddenly reminded from beside him. "It's demonic aura."
He fell into a momentary daze before instantly understanding where was the problem. This was Void Land, as it was overly disordered, the demon monsters here do not have demonic auras. Instead, it was a chaotic aura that even they couldn't differentiate apart. Just like the monster in the mystic realm and the peach blossom demon from the previous time, there was completely no demonic aura on them.
However, Ling Wen Xuan's injury was really and truly affected by demonic aura. He had mixed elixirs into the medicine to dispel the demonic aura in his dantian before he could recover. It means that... the demon monster that they had dealt with was a true demon monster! Just like the ones in their planes, demon monsters that came with demonic aura.
Lonemoon looked at the egg shell in his hands. Only spirit seeds of the original source can breed pure demon monsters. It was impossible just based on this egg shell alone, which means this spirit seed had indeed been in this egg at the start. No! He should say that it was once in the Flame Mountain, that was why it caused those demon monsters to carry demonic aura. And it was brought back to the nest by that demon monster, only it disappeared after?
"Huh?" Ling Wen Xuan paused for a moment and suddenly looked towards the empty egg in Lonemoon's hand, subconsciously commenting, "Why does it feel like the energy in this egg lessened by a lot?" He said confusedly, "I remember when I first saw this egg, the energy in it was a lot more concentrated."
Lonemoon turned back and glanced at me, instantly becoming more sure of his own idea. "Fellow Daoist Wen Xuan, may I know the specific location of that Flame Mountain?
"Flame Mountain is in the Northern region, closer to the west." Ling Wen Xuan replied, "It's about a thousand miles from Yang City."
"Thank you for letting us know." Lonemoon nodded. "We have something urgent to see to, we shall not disturb you any longer and leave first."
The few people got up, intending to leave yet Ling Wen Xuan stood up directly and asked with some anxiety. "Are all of you really setting off for Flame Mountain?"
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon felt that there no longer any need to hide it and nodded. "Mm, there are some things we have to get to the bottom of."
"That area is way too dangerous and the terrain is complicated..." He looked worried and gritted out after some thought. "Why don't I follow along? It'll be easier to show you all the way too."
It was best to have someone lead the way, Lonemoon glanced at him but still shook his head in the end. "It's alright, you're also a disciple of Immortal Spirit Academy, it's not good if you just leave like this." This academy was almost like a sect, he was already being disliked because of his injuries, even Ling Hong and the others were often being targeted as a result, there was no need to create more trouble for them.
"But..." He was still a little worried. seeing that they really did not need him to lead the way, he thought for a while and said, "Then please hold on for a moment." He suddenly turned into a room at the side, brought out his ink and brush and started to draw quickly. A short while later, he walked over with two pieces of paper. "This is map for the route to Flame Mountain, this other one is the terrain of Flame Mountain that I drew based on my memory, it might be useful."
Lonemoon took a glance, the map was very detailedly drawn, even the location where they found the demon monster was marked out, it was indeed something they needed. "Thank you Wen Xuan."
"It's what I ought to do." He smiled, then pulled out a communication jade token. "If there's still anything you're unclear of, you can contact me using this jade token."
Lonemoon also took and nodded before leaving with Shen Ying and Chef.
Taking a detailed look at the map, the few of them headed in the direction of Flame Mountain. As they could not teleport, they could only sword-ride. Yet the closer they flew towards the north, the hotter it got. Even the terrains became increasingly barren, the ground a sea of withered yellow, even the occasional vegetation spotted were shriveled droopy, as if their dispositions had been killed by the sun.
They flew for a couple of days, the odd thing was that the scenery beneath suddenly changed as huge areas of green forests appeared. Though it was still scorching, but it seemed like the entire world had come to live again, the surroundings were breathing with vitality.
Yi Qing frowned and glanced down at the forest, then could not help but spoke up, "Father Niu, in this forest..."
Lonemoon's face also darkened beside him. "There is demonic auras everywhere in this forest, seems there's more than one demon monster that carries demonic aura."
The two of them exchanged a glance, then sped up in the direction of Flame Mountain, spending another half day's time before they arrived at their destination. From far they could see a huge volcano, fiery red flares could occasionally be seen at the peak, above it was clouds of black smoke.
Before them was a boundless forest, filled with dense vegetation all around and it was blazing hot yet there seemed to be thick clouds of fog in the forest, making it resemble a fairyland. But all these were different in Yi Qing and Lonemoon's eyes, other than the white fog, the demonic aura in this forest was the most concentrated that they'd seen throughout the entire journey.
Though it wasn't like the demon realm they'd seen in their plane in the past, but based on the appearance of this forest, there were demon monsters that were at least eighth-level and above.
Lonemoon brought out the second map, after a careful comparison, he released his divine perception to sweep across the entire forest before pointing towards the right, saying, "That's where they found the spirit seed."
With that said, they turned and flew in that direction. Within moments, a small and clear lake appeared before them, though they called it a lake, it was actually not much bigger than a pond. Only in the middle of it was an island tens of meters wide. It was where Ling Wen Xuan marked out that they found the spirit seed.
Three of them landed at once, indeed, once they touched the ground, they felt a hint of Qi of the original source rush over. This small island wasn't big, everything could be seen in one look. There was a massive nest in the trees on the island, the Qi of the original source came from there, but the nest was empty.
Lonemoon circled around the huge nest, it was evident that there used to be a demon monster here but now even the surrounding demonic aura was very faint.
"Chef, have you got any findings?" Lonemoon looked towards the person beside him.
Chef shook his head. "The Qi of the original source should be remnants from ages ago, the spirit seed hasn't been here for a long time."
Does that mean that this was another futile trip?
Lonemoon was slightly irritated, turning towards Shen Ying, he asked, "Foodie, can we reject this task regarding the spirit seed?" Anyway the spirit seed was Mi Le's it had nothing to do with their plane.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Shen Ying cocked her head to a side, only replying with a sentence moments later. "Flower is very close to my sister!"
"And then..." What has it got to do with your sister?
She then said in all seriousness. "Then he will be a tattletale."
"..." Motherf*cker!
This was the so-called friendship between classmates? Turns out it started from snitching to guardians and parents?
Chapter 594: Huge Rewards
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Father Niu." Yi Qing took one step forward and stopped the conversation. For some reason, he did not want to hear Master talk about that man. "Let's use the tracing spell to find out where the spirit seed is."
Lonemoon quickly activated his God Power and conjured a seal. In just a moment, a white eam of light appeared. It gathered to form an array on the ground. There were multiple beams of coloured light within the array, which shot out in all directions.
"The core aura here hasn't dissipated. We should be able to very quickly-"
Before he could finish speaking, the ground began to shake. There was a series of loud cracking sounds as huge cracks began to appear in the ground. All around them, the trees swayed. The crack under their feet widened until it formed a huge drain. They were going to fall through at any moment.
Yi Qing grabbed onto Yi Qing, as both he and Lonemoon mounted their flying swords and flew up into the sky. Vines shot up from the cracks in the ground and began to attack them.
Yi Qing immediately summoned his sword and waved it at the vines. In just one swipe, all the vines around him split into two. The remaining vines were not fast enough to catch the two of them as they shot up into the sky. Yi Qing had not even activated his sword Qi.
"Eh?" Chef paused. The vines were suspiciously weak. They did not even emit a bit of spirit Qi. it was like they were just a part of ordinary plants.
As they flew higher and higher, they turned around to see the island's plants all come to life. They were all uprooting themselves out of the ground. It was almost like this was a movie and there were real humans inside those trees. As if they had gone crazy, they began to wave at the three people in the sky, shooting vines up toward them.
"What is this?" Lonemoon hesitated. Were these trees all now having a life of their own? But they were nothing but ordinary plants. Even vegetation demons could only take on a spirit form. Their physical bodies could not be moved. And they were not vegetation spirits... Unless they had become immortals and their physical bodies had been destroyed in the lightning tribulation, their spirit bodies could not gather into a physical form.
"Tree demons?" Yi Qing stared blankly at the plants below. On cloesr inspection, it seemed like there was demonic Qi asurrounding their bodies. This proved that they were demons, but they had reall been buried within the soil. Right now, they were even walking toward them with their roots.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon stared at the scene in front of him in absolute shock. This island... No, not just this island! He turned and saw that the entire forest of trees had come alive. Now, an entire dense forest was movng and swaying, just like the trees on that island. Among these trees, those that had vines whipped them at the group. Those that did not have vines used their roots to reach for the three of them, as if hoping to pull them down from above.
The quiet forest was now filled with the noise of leaves rustling about. The atmosphere was violent.
"What's going on?"
"The spirit seed," Shen Ying suddenly said. ""The spirit seed has the power of light inside of it. Of course it can also create living spirits." The speed awakened the trees and gave them sentience.
"You mean the spirit seed is here?!" Lonemoon exclaimed in joy. He looked down at the trees that had come alive. But what should they do about them? What's more, he could not figure out the reason they were acting up now when they had been silent the entire tim.
The few of them flew even higher so that the trees' vines could not reach them. Slowly, the trees finally halted their attacks. Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief. That was when one particular tree on the island rolled its vines up and plucked a fruit from its own head, before throwing the fruit at them.
Lonemoon dodged the fruit as it brushed past his body and fell back down to the water with a loud plop. The trees all around seemed to have realised this new method of attack. One by one, they began to pluck fruits from their heads and throw it at the group of three.
Holy shit!
These trees were really demons now, weren't they?
""Two of you, quickly set up an array-" Lonemoon turned instinctively and wanted to instruct the two of them to set up a defensive array.
"Fruits!" Shen Ying's eyes brightened as she shouted, "Chef! The stocks are coming in! Catch them, catch them!"
"Yes Master, no problem Master!"
The next moment, Chef darted around in the air. He cloned more than 10 more images of himself and caught every fruit that the trees threw up at them. Along the way, he even helped Shen Ying onto Lonemoon's sword.
Lonemoon: "..." Motherf*cker!
Thus, the master and disciple rejoiced at the harvest, and enjoyed the fruit-catching game they created. Chef did not even miss one of the fruits that the trees threw up. In a few minutes, their storage bag was full.
"Master, the storage bag is full. What should we do?"
"I have more!" Shen Ying quickly handed her own storage bag over before taking Lonemoon's one as well. "Father Niu, I'll borrow yours for awhile."
"Chef, on the right, on the right! That one's going into the water!"
"Chef, catch a few more of the yellow ones. Those are yummy."
"Chef, we don't need to catch the green ones! They're probably not ripe yet!"
Chef was darting around at top speed by now. "Yes, Master! No problem, Master!" All ten of his images split further until there were more than 50 images in the air. One batch was catching the fruits and the other was inspecting the fruits caught. This was called dealing with the job in an orderly manner.
Thankfully, there was an entire forest of trees. All three storage bags qquickly became filled. Chef set up a little mystic realm from out of nowhere and opened the entrance in mid air. He quickly emptied all of the fruits into the mystic realm. Yi Qing thus formed a transportation line on his own.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon: "…" F*cking retards.
All of you are reallly taking this as incoming stocks! Lonemoon really wanted to act like he did not know these two wastrels.
The trees began to visibly slow down. There were fewer and fewer fruits being thrown up into the air. Lonemoon pursed his lips and activated his immortal Qi to form a rope, which he used to capture a small tree the size of a human up into the air.
The small tree panicked. It waves its branches and leaves vigorously, struggling to escape the rope's grip. Lonemoon's immortal Qi, however, was way too strong. The tree flew up into the air easily.
All the trees below stopped, as if shocked by what Lonemoon had done. Even those that still had fruits to throw paused.
The two people who were still busy collcting stocks also halted and turned to look at Lonemoon and the tree...
"What are you looking at?!" Lonemoon shot thema death glare. "That's enough from the both of you! You really want to pluck all the fruits off this little tree!" Did they still remember what they were here for?
The two of tehm exchanged a look and sighed. Then, they reluctantly locked up the small mystic realm and turned to face the little tree head-on.
Lonemoon inspected the tree very closely. It did indeed have a spirit and sentience, but it was obvious that the tree would not be able to talk. Thus, Lonemoon quickly conjured a seal to allow some immortal Qi to enter the tree's consciousness. Immediately, he felt a surge of rage rise up within him.
Chapter 595: Plant Demons
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lonemoon frowned and asked, "What are you? Why do you want to attack us?"
The tree's leaves trembled. A moment later, it sent rage into Lonemoon's consciousness once again. After thinking for a moment, Lonemoon finally understood what it was saying. "Bad man! You want to catch Boss! I won't allow it! Chase away!"
"What's your boss like?" Lonemoon asked in shock. Could it be that its boss really was the spirit seed? Was the spirit seed still in the forest?
The little tree stopped sending anymore emotions and messages over to Lonemoon's consciousness, so Lonemoon had no choice but to retract his spell and send the little tree back down. The forest below saw that the little tree was returning and burst into action once again. New batches of fruits were just about to be delivered to where they were.
Lonemoon pursed his lips and let out a suppressive force that shook all of them. It was a pity that the standard of the trees' consciousness was not high. Lonemoon was not able to seek the spirit seed's location from them. Thus, using both his hands, he conjured an array that spread out across the entire territory.
Since he could not ask them, he would have to look for it himself!
The next moment, a huge exploration array appeared in the sky. It was a white array that headed straight for the forest of trees. It spread out in the direction that the remnant aura was. Within seconds, it garnered a response.
"Over there!" Lonemoon pointed toward his right and turned to fly in that direction.
Chef quickly followed suit, carrying Shen Ying back onto his sword on the way.
When Lonemoon arrived, he saw that there was a pit in the middle of the forest. It looked like someone had gone there and dug about four or five metres into the ground. Inside the pit, there were all sorts of trees growing. Their leaves were dense, as if concealing something within.
How to Restore Vision Without SurgeryiFocus
Lonemoon frowned. This was a tad obvious, wasn't it? Just as he was about to enter the pit, he found that the trees he had shocked earlier were now extending their branches toward the pit, forming a web of branches on top of it to stop him from entering
Alright, he did not need to locate the spirit seed now.
Lonemoon pursed his lips and summoned his spirit sword. A sharp gust of sword Qi headed straight down the pit that the trees were trying to cover up. Each time it hit the branches, the trees above shivered and retracted their branches.
Lonemoon flew downward. As he walked deeper and deeper into the pit, the trees above began to panic. They cut off the fruits on their heads and let them roll into the pit after Lonemoon. The other trees that stood by followed suit, until the pit became filled with their fruits.
Lonemon: "..." Do you really think your fruits are that powerful? Did they think he would not be able to see past them!
The master and disciples' eyes lit up behind him.
Hey, that's enough from the both of you! Did you not pick enough fruits earlier!
Lonemoon glared at them, but was otherwise too lazy to do anything about it. He raised his hand and used a single spell to sweep all of the fruits out of the pit, together with the withered leaves and branches at the bottom.
Amongst the fruits, something eye-catchingly green flew up as well. That was it! He flicked his wrist and caused the green object to fly toward him. Then, with another flick of the wrist, all of the fruits flew toward Shen Ying and landed in front of her.
"Chef, keep the stock!" Shen Ying exclaimed, eyes twinkling. She began to pick the fruits up in her hands.
Lonemoon looked in front at the object he captured using his spell. It was now waving its leaves, trying to escape. The top of this object was long and thin, and green in colour. Its lower half was pure white. It looked just like a...
"Spring onion?" The corner of his lip twitched.
"No!" Chef stood up after picking up all the fruits. Very seriously, he corrected, "It's a garlic!" He was expert at identifying vegetables.
Lonemoon frowned. "Can even garlics become demons these days?" These demons were too casual about their form, weren't they?
"Let me go! Let me go!" The garlic began to cry out in a sharp voice.
Hey, this garlic can talk!
"Shen Ying." Lonemoon turned to face a certain foodie. "Don't tell me this is the spirit seed?" This was a freaking spirit seed in foodie world, wasn't it?!
"It's not." Shen Ying shook her head. "I think it's under the influence of the spirit seed, though."
For some reason, Lonemoon heaved a sigh of relief.
"You baddies! Let me go!" The garlic demon struggled for its life, but realised that it could not free itself from Lonemoon's spell. Thus, it began to wave its leaves madly and shout, "Bastard! Baddie! You caught my boss and now you want to catch me too! Just wait, I... I..."
The garlic seemed to be panicking. It raised up its white portion stalk and peeled off the surface layer, revealing the inner white portions of its own body. "I'll spice you to death!" Then, it charged toward their eyes.
Lonemon: "..."

Yi Qing: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
Heh heh, this really was... a scary threat.
o(╯□╰)o
Lonemoon pursed his lips and pushed the garlic demon slightly further away from them. "Talk, little garlic demon, who is this boss you speak of?"
"Who's a little garlic! I'm a huge garlic!" The garlic demon tutted. It waved its leaves and said, "I'm really spicy! You ugly man, if you know what's good for you, you would let me go immediately. Otherwise, you'll definitely regret it!"
"..." My foot! Who was it calling ugly! Did these vegetation demons graduate from the same school as Radish did? This garlic could try to insult Lonemoon again if he didn't believe that Lonemoon would hand it over to Chef to be fried in a heartbeat.
"You're baddies who bully Boss!" The garlic demon continued to struggle and shout, as if not realising that it was in grave danger. It continued to threaten Lonemoon. "Just wait and see, when I'm a little bigger, I will come out and rescue Boss!"
"Oh?" Lonemoon's eyes narrowed. His voice leaking with sarcasm, he said, "You, a weak little demon? You want to rescue your boss? Do you even know where it is?"
"Hmph!" The garlic tutted and waved its leaves to point at a volcano not far away. "Don't think I don't know this. I heard the little trees on the volcano discussing this. You've captured Boss and brought it onto Flame Mountain! Just wait and see. Wait until I train myself so that I'm no longer afraid of fire. I'll definitely rescue it. Don't think that you can capture Boss just like that. You ugly creatures don't deserve to even serve Boss!"
Flame Mountain!
Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a meaningful look, then turned to see the Flame Mountain not far away, that spewed flames and sparks from time to time. So the spiirt seed was there? It was no wonder that they could not sense its presence.
"Go! To the volcano!" Lonemoon mounted his flying sword.
"Wait!" Yi Qing suddenly pulled him back and shook his head while looking at the sky. "Let's eat!" If he didn't start cooking now, they would miss their meal. Nothing was more important than Master.
Lonemon: "..."
Why couldn't they be this punctual about everything else?!
It was indeed getting later, however, and the spirit seed would not be able to escape if it were really in the volcano. Lonemoon looked down at the garlic demon and narrowed his eyes. Nodding, he said, "We can eat! But I want to eat garlic prawns, garlic crabs, garlic white meat, garlic flowers, garlic white explosive beasts..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Shen Ying: "..."
The garlic demon: "..."
Are you a demon?
