Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

At the peak of the waterfall, the water flow suddenly twisted and turned in one direction, forming a huge, hollow vortex at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Deep footsteps echoed from the center of the dark vortex, drawing ever closer.

"Clap!"

Under the watchful eyes of the group, a bronze figure suddenly appeared, standing five meters tall, with a robust physique, broad and powerful shoulders, and exceptionally well-defined muscle lines. Upon closer inspection, it resembled a statue.

The eight silver bears clenched their massive fists, arched their backs, and leaped from the vortex of black holes.

"boom!"

The loud thud as he landed was deafening, and his footsteps kicked up clouds of dust and caused an earthquake-like tremor.

A vortex of ripples swept outwards, pressing Guan Xun's slightly loose gauze skirt tightly against her body.

"Which damned bastard dares to trespass here!" Its voice was rough, and it was panting heavily with anger.

Both the Purple Phoenix Nine Nether Tiger and the Gale Lion were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they dared not raise their heads, their heads hanging down as if they were touching the ground.

"How dare you destroy my herbs!" The eight silver earth bear's dark brown eyes darted around, scanning its surroundings before instantly locking onto the man and python in front of it.

"Divine beast..." it murmured, panting heavily. Suddenly, it raised its large paw and slammed it down heavily on Guan Xun without saying a word!

Crimson Crystal Eyes froze, its body swaying as it immediately stepped in front of it.

Guan Xun stroked Chi Rong's body, exerted a little force, and with a flash, landed on the tip of the giant rock next to him.

"boom!!!"

At the moment of their violent collision, thunder roared and echoed through the space, and waves of power exploded outwards, causing both to involuntarily take a half step back.

Guan Xun lowered his eyes and stared at the battle below, and couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly. Chi Rong was too weak now. He wondered how much his strength would recover once he regained his physical form.

An environment rich in beast cores and abundant spiritual energy is the foundation for its restoration to its physical form... She pondered for a moment, glancing at the surrounding herbs out of the corner of her eye. A thought flashed through her mind, and she suddenly had an idea.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Guan Xun turned his gaze to the Eight Silver Earth Bear, looking at its stubble-covered face, and smirked, "You've become so powerful now, Little Eight."

Everyone present was shocked by these words.

Little...Little Eight?

The Purple Phoenix Nine Nether Tiger was so astonished that its mouth could not close. Even a demon beast older than Eighth Master would not dare to roar like that...

Hiss... This human...

"You! How dare you!" Jifeng was always impulsive. He suddenly looked up and shouted angrily. He immediately mobilized his spiritual power to make a move, but was firmly held down by the Purple Phoenix Nine Nether Tiger.

"Azi, let go!" it protested, indignant that this human dared to offend Master Ba like this!

Azi didn't say anything, her brows furrowed, and she pressed down on the other person's hand even harder.

As always, Gale was oblivious to everything... If the other party had only a casual relationship with Eighth Master, they wouldn't have shouted like that.

The eight silver bears froze on the spot. They turned to look at Guan Xun, their brows furrowing into a deep frown, their pupils dilating, as if searching for something deep in their memories.

An ancient and unfamiliar title, used by only one person.

But that person left the Illusion Forest a long time ago and has never appeared again.

"You...who are you?!"

It cried out in surprise with a slight hesitation, scrutinizing the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in front of it.

The girl had a face like a peach blossom, and although she was beautiful, she was completely different from the girl it remembered. She didn't have any similar features whatsoever, and her strength was extremely weak...

But the other party's expression, tone of voice, and eyes gave it a very familiar feeling.

Seeing the other party's doubtful and somewhat conflicted expression, Guan Xun raised an eyebrow. Indeed, it's normal not to recognize someone after so much time has passed.

Moreover, she has now changed her appearance, making her even more unrecognizable. Perhaps even her closest sister wouldn't be able to recognize her.

Her gaze swept over the hideous scar on the face of the Silver Bear, and she looked around.

Eight Silver Bear's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a faint pain in the blind eye where the scar had been.

That look in its eyes... it was all too familiar...

But I'm still not quite sure.

"You are……"

Just as it opened its mouth, the person standing high on the boulder suddenly turned their head to look over, casually pointing with a slender finger to the large patch of herbs beside them, a smile blooming on their face.

"Although some of them were damaged, these herbs are growing really well, and it's time to harvest them in large quantities."

Upon hearing this, both Jifeng and Azi broke out in a cold sweat, for only they knew how much Eighth Master valued these herbs.

They stay here for a long time, spending the rest of their time tending to the herbs in addition to guarding the area and ensuring safety.

The fight was intense, and I hadn't paid much attention to my surroundings. Now, looking around at the destroyed herbs, I couldn't stay calm. I was afraid that if Eighth Master got angry, he would kill them both.

"Eighth Master! It was my fault..." Azi quickly said, intending to beg for forgiveness.

"boom!"

The shaking ground and the shattered peaks forced him to swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

It thought that the Eighth Master was angry because of the herbs, but when it looked in the direction of the sound, it was so shocked that it could not calm down for a long time.

The eight silver bears trembled slightly, and the fists that had just smashed the peak pounded the ground several times.

"Grandma! It really is you!"

His shocked tone was tinged with boundless excitement, and the anger of the previous second had vanished without a trace.

On the eve of his departure from this place, Guan Xun harvested all the precious medicinal herbs, leaving not even the roots, showing no conscience whatsoever, which caused the place great sorrow.

Fortunately, this was a treasure trove, and the herbs sprouted again the following year, which gave it some comfort, but the shadow of having its herbs plundered remained buried deep in its heart.

Hearing these robbery-like words again, Hachigami Kuma instantly regained his senses.

Who else could it be but that old lady!

"You recognized me? Long time no see," Guan Xun said with a sneer.

"It's not my fault for being blind." Eight Silver Earth Bear laughed loudly a few times, then asked in surprise, "What's going on with you?"

Guan Xun shook his head slightly: "It's a long story."

Upon hearing this, the Eight-Silver Earth Bear turned to look at the two demon beasts kneeling on the ground: "Why are you both kneeling? You two hurry up and prepare some food and drink for your grandma!"

"Ah, yes!" Azi suddenly came to her senses, grabbed Jifeng, and walked out.

As soon as they stepped out of the stone gate, they saw Xiao Wu leading the twelve garrisoned monster teams rushing over.

Azi forced a smile and told them to go back.

Ignoring the bewildered Xiao Wu, it and Jifeng exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

Eighth Master actually called that human "Grandma"...

So...should they shout like that too?
