Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 435 [Tree Heart] 4

Huicheng is neither big nor small.

In this era, being able to provide a stable place for the people is enough. Even if collecting taxes is a little difficult, making less money, and being bullied by the ruffian soldiers in the city, it is still better than losing your life outside.

Human life is worthless. This is not a cold statement in this war-torn continent.

Feng Lan couldn't understand the specific situation in Huicheng for the time being because there was an uninvited guest coming to her place.

A clever gray ape.

The most difficult step in cultivation is to draw Qi into the body. Once there is spiritual power in the body and a circulation system can be established, it is equivalent to laying a solid foundation. The subsequent steps will become faster. The spirit stone fragments that Feng Lan used for cultivation at night changed from the size of a grain of rice to the size of two grains of rice. It was not much, and she could absorb it all in two hours.

As usual, after teaching a lesson to the animals attracted by the spirit stone fragments, Fenglan's tree grew more luxuriantly, with a tall and straight crown, lush and green, stretching out in all directions, like a canopy. Some of the drooping aerial roots extended into the soil, as if many big trees grew together, and some hung in the air. When the wind blew, the aerial roots swayed slightly like hair.

It was the middle of the night again. The animals gathered under the Fenglan tree all opened their big, round, green, shiny eyes, occasionally making a little noise, which was so creepy.

If someone accidentally walks in, they may be scared to death.

It seemed that nothing serious was happening in Huicheng. Of the Muzhu that Feng Lan left in the military camp, one stayed there, and the other slipped out and wandered around the city. After all, both the masses and the soldiers had their own channels of information.

Feng Lan observed Huicheng while practicing hard. More and more animals gathered under her tree, and the nearby grass and trees looked much more lush because of the moonlight at night and the overflowing spiritual power.

These unusual things are naturally not noticed because there are no villages nearby and no one comes here. However, animals are much smarter than humans in this regard.

The gray ape came one night.

That night, the moonlight was as clear and distinct as water, and like some kind of colloid, it gathered on the huge banyan tree. A gray ape swung out with an arrogant gait, leaped down under the banyan tree, punched a tiger, kicked a bison, and butted a red fox with its head. It even lifted a wild boar weighing hundreds of pounds and threw it aside with an "ooh-oh, woo-woo" sound. A pair of eyes that shone golden in the night glared at all the animals. The gray ape straightened up and pounded his chest, "woo-woo, woo-woo, woo-woo-woo-woo--"

It is very small, less than 1.5 meters tall, but its attitude is very arrogant and domineering, very much like the emoticon package of "Who Else?"

The other animals, caught off guard by the gray ape's sudden bullying, were stunned at first, then quickly reacted and attacked.

"Roar--"

"hold head high--"

For a moment, the banyan tree was filled with the roars of animals. Facing these animals that were much larger than itself, the gray ape was not afraid at all. It fought alone against many enemies with agility. From time to time, it used its small body to climb up Feng Lan's trunk, grabbed her aerial roots and shook them, and was extremely provocative to the animals below, making faces, slapping its butt, and shouting.

With such a loud noise, not to mention Feng Lan’s meditation, even if he was sleeping he would be woken up.

As she woke up, the lingering moonlight slowly dissipated. The gray ape noticed this, but did not react. The animals below had been living with Feng Lan day and night and knew her temper best. They immediately lowered their voices and lay on the ground, protecting their heads with their claws.

"Wow--" Seeing that the situation was not right, the gray ape subconsciously jumped from its original position, but was firmly caught by an air root. The nearby air roots rose high up without wind, and fell down with a whoosh as the gray ape struggled desperately and howled.

"Clap clap clap-"

Feng Lan's four consecutive whip blows completely shattered the gray ape's dream of becoming the king of the mountain. The screaming gray ape was thrown far away by Feng Lan.

Feng Lan thought that was the end, but from that night on, the gray ape started targeting her.

During the day the next day, Feng Lan sensed the gray ape hiding nearby through the underground roots and the huge tree canopy.

The day is different from the night. Without the moonlight, there are fewer animals around Feng Lan. Only some small animals have made their homes on her body. Some birds and insect-eating animals, such as ladybugs, squirrels, and woolly monkeys, will help Feng Lan catch aphids, caterpillars, and other small insects that harass her.

The fallen leaves on the ground cover the nests of those animals. These deep and humid burrows extend deep into the ground. Animals such as earthworms, ants, spiders, shrews, voles, etc. loosen the soil with them, and Fenglan's tree roots can drill deeper into the ground more easily. The feces of these burrowing animals will also become part of the soil nutrients underground.

On the second day that the gray ape observed Feng Lan, it sneakily ran to the bottom of Feng Lan's tree and circled around it. It was very alert to the ubiquitous aerial roots and bared its teeth. After not noticing any movement for a long time, the gray ape climbed up Feng Lan's body, accurately found the aerial root that had whipped it last night, and then stretched out its claws to pull it off.

The gray ape is fast, but Feng Lan, who knows the ape's narrow-mindedness, is even faster.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah—"

“Squeaky, squeaky, wow wow wow—”

A gray meteor streaked across the sky.

The cries caused a commotion, and many small animals poked their heads out from the trunk and branches of Fenglan Tree. They scanned the surroundings with their sharp little eyes and only retreated into their holes after confirming that there was nothing unusual.

The next night, the moon was not very bright, being blocked by clouds most of the time. Feng Lan was not picky either, and the moonlight from dozens of kilometers around was gathered here, shining and moist on the trees. When attracted, the moonlight would also fall on the nearby animals, slowly and gently combing their bodies.

A pair of bright golden eyes peeked out. This time, the gray ape seemed to know the range of Feng Lan, and also knew that the tree that attacked it last night and today was the one with the pleasant smell.

"Snapped--"

A stone hit Feng Lan, and several green leaves were knocked down by the stone. After falling, the faint silver light on the leaves slowly disappeared.

Seeing that Feng Lan did not react, the gray ape became even more arrogant.

A rain of stones came down on her in a dense stream. These stones were all about the same size, about the size of a baby's fist, with sharp edges. Throwing them at high speeds could easily scratch an ordinary tree, knock off leaves, and even break some new branches.

Obviously, the gray ape had worked very hard to find these special stones during the day and moved them to this place without any hesitation, just to give Feng Lan some revenge now.

Feng Lan couldn't move, and her aerial roots couldn't reach that far, but that didn't mean she couldn't fight back.

When the rain of stones was about to hit Feng Lan, countless air roots suddenly came alive. Just like last night, they grabbed the stones and threw them densely at the gray ape the size of "Squeaky".
