Yu Zi Yu was indeed lacking combat power in the aquatic combat. The only one who could truly be called an aquatic animal was Sarcosuchus. However, Sarcosuchus was not a deep-water combatant.
As for underground combat…
After some consideration, Yu Zi Yu thought of the several Mice being raised deep in North Canyon. They were brought back when they were found shortly after birth during the hunt.
Now, Yu Zi Yu believed they might also be part of the battle force. Furthermore, Yu Zi Yu was especially hopeful, considering the horrifying reproductive capabilities and survivability of rats.
With this in mind, Yu Zi Yu’s consciousness shifted to a root.
In an instant…
*Boom, boom, boom…*
Accompanied by tremors, his consciousness followed along the root as it burst out of the ground like a giant black Python.
His current size was simply too massive.
His nine sub-roots were spread in nine different directions and his countless rootlets were spread deep underground, forming a complex network.
It could even be said that his roots were spread over more than half of the Misty Mountains.
If it was not for the effective absorption of the Fire-Attribute Spirit Stone Mine, he could reach the Spirit Stone Mine of the Himalayan Mountains, crossing over hundreds of kilometers, with his roots alone.
Currently, thanks to his extensive roots, his consciousness could instantly arrive in various corners of the Misty Mountains.
North Canyon was also one of those places.
…
Not long after, deep within North Canyon…
With a tremendous boom and fearsome tremors, a root as thick as a bowl and resembling a giant black Python emerged from the ground.
“Divine Tree…”
“Master…”
White Tiger and Panda, who happened to be guarding North Canyon, greeted him in succession.
“En.” Nodding slightly, Yu Zi Yu glanced at the Spirit Pond where seven already shriveled Transcendent Monk Vultures were.
Apparently, their submission was indeed swift.
Shooting a gaze of appreciation to White Tiger, he then turned his gaze to a corner in the heart of North Canyon.
In that corner happened to be three treehouses woven together from roots.
Originally, Thorns, Qing Gang, and a Human named Leng Feng used to live there.
However, since Qing Gang had evolved into an Elemental Lifeform and settled deep underground to build a city, and Thorns had started to reside in seclusion deep in the forest, coexisting with flowers and plants, only Leng Feng alone remained, guarding the treehouses.
More importantly, Leng Feng was not simply imprisoned there. As someone like an outsider to North Canyon, Yu Zi Yu had assigned him the task of taking care of young animals.
In addition to the four newly born Mutant Rats, many malformed young animals born due to nuclear radiation were entrusted to Leng Feng’s care. In exchange, Leng Feng never lacked resources for cultivation and even received some preferential treatment.
After all, taking care of young animals was not an easy task and required great attention and patience.
…
At this moment, in one of the treehouses deep within North Canyon…
*Ha…* Leng Feng let out a long, deep breath as numerous black glimmering lines flickered around him.
After a moment, the encompassing darkness within the entire treehouse receded like a tide, revealing a youth with a cold and seemingly icy demeanor.
He had long, black hair tied with a hemp rope and wore a well-fitted black martial arts suit.
This set of clothing was brought to him by Qing Gang from the Human city.
In addition to the black martial arts suit, there were many Human sundries, including several cases of beverages and alcohol.
He heard that a Human city was occupied by the Divine Tree, and the Humans had more supplies than they could use.
At this moment, as if recalling something, a look of pain flashed in Leng Feng’s eyes.
“Sis…ter…” His lips moved as Leng Feng once again thought of his only concern in the Human world. However, it never crossed his mind that the town where his sister was located, Linhai Town, would disappear from the face of this world all of a sudden.
When he heard this news, he was completely shocked, and it took him three full days to recover. If it were not for those adorable little creatures, he might still be unable to get over it.
Even so, every time he finished his cultivation, he could not help but recall his sister.
“Leng Yu…”
As he murmured her name, Leng Feng’s fingers pricked into his flesh as drops of blood dripped down his fist shortly after.
Then, at that moment, a gentle voice suddenly echoed in his mind, “I heard from Qing Gang that you still have a sister.”
The calm and gentle voice was still the same as before, but it shook Leng Feng to his core. As he looked up, a root as thick as a bowl and resembling a giant Black Python rose from the ground.
“Lord… Divine Tree.”
Seeing this root and sensing the familiar yet extremely intimidating aura, Leng Feng promptly stood up and greeted.
Then, he slightly nodded, affirming, “Indeed, I have a sister, but…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Yu Zi Yu interrupted, “Go check on her. She might still be alive.”
As he spoke, the door of the treehouse slowly opened.
Even more astonishing was that the thick fog shrouding North Canyon diverged to both sides, revealing a two-meter-wide passage.
“This…” Gritting his teeth, a moment of surprise flashed on Leng Feng’s face.
“Go on.” Urging once again, Yu Zi Yu raised the root, heading toward the other two treehouses. There, he could sense the presence of the young creatures.
A moment later, with a whoosh, Leng Feng’s figure turned into a streak of dark light as he vanished into North Canyon.
The instantaneous burst of his aura even made Yu Zi Yu squint his eyes.
[He is indeed exceptionally talented.] Praising in his heart, Yu Zi Yu could not help but admire Leng Feng’s talent.
Among Qing Gang, Leng Feng, and Thorns, Leng Feng always had the highest Innate Talent. As one of the few Human prodigies, Leng Feng’s innate talent was known as Dark Shadow.
|
Dark Shadow–Possesses a shadow that can be materialized, freely stretched into any form, and can also be used to hide within darkness. |
It was quite a formidable Combat Talent, and an extension of first-grade Darkness Elemental Talent.
In terms of Innate Talent, Thorns and Qing Gang could not even hold a candle to him. If it were not for a fortunate encounter, both Thorns and Qing Gang would find it extremely difficult to catch up to Leng Feng.
Now, this Human prodigy, without the major opportunities that Thorns and Qing Gang found, and with limited resources, cultivated to the ranks of being a Superhuman thanks to the rich Spiritual Energy of North Canyon.
One could easily judge his talent from this feat. His talent was truly remarkable.
More importantly, his Spiritual Energy was as high as 50,000.
With this much Spiritual Energy, and his means, he could easily find a place under Yu Zi Yu’s command.
“I guess making him take care of the young animals here seems to be a waste of his talents.”
Sighing, Yu Zi Yu began weighing pros and cons.
[Guys like him should be completely subdued. If he can’t be subdued, he should be eliminated as soon as possible.] After all, Yu Zi Yu could not rest assured of an outstanding prodigy like him, who knew North Canyon from the inside out, not being under his complete control.
