When Chu Feng returned, he was very cautious along the way, sealing his own aura and using his innate divine senses to ensure no one was following him.
Who is this person? He held his breath and observed carefully.
The figure was facing away from Chu Feng, dressed in peculiar attire, completely wrapped in a coarse linen cloth.
First, it bowed to the Taihang Mountains, then squatted down and started digging, searching for something.
Chu Feng's face changed. That was the location of the flower bed where he had buried the three seeds he brought back from Kunlun Mountain. How could he allow such a thing to happen?
He rushed out of the room, using the Bull Demon Fist, emitting a wind and thunder sound, and charged forward.
The figure reacted quickly, turning around and throwing a punch, colliding with Chu Feng's fist. Instantly, sand and stones flew, and a loud explosion echoed.
Chu Feng shook his numb fist and stared at the figure.
The strange person's eyes widened, then tore off the linen cloth, revealing its true form—it was a yellow ox!
"How did you not die?" The yellow ox quickly carved words on the ground, looking as if it had seen a ghost.
Chu Feng's teeth itched with anger. This dead ox had actually cursed him and wanted to buy some expired lamb skewers to feed it.
The yellow ox mooed a few times and started carving words on the ground, telling Chu Feng the truth.
The big black ox didn't dare to fight the white snake, but it was an expert at escaping. It carried the yellow ox at lightning speed, rushing out of the Taihang Mountains and successfully escaping.
Afterward, the big black ox told the yellow ox that if it weren't for the burden of the yellow ox, it would have definitely fought the white snake.
The yellow ox was half-believing, and immediately asked it to save Chu Feng.
The big black ox readily agreed and left, acting with great righteousness.
Soon, the big black ox returned and told the yellow ox that it had arrived too late, and Chu Feng was already dead. In its anger, it fought the white snake, leveling the entire mountain range, but still couldn't kill the white snake, and had to retreat in frustration.
It told the yellow ox to grieve, saying that they hadn't known each other for long, so there was no need to miss him.
Chu Feng listened in shock and finally couldn't help but curse, "This old fraud, this big liar, why didn't it die? What battle with the white snake? It didn't even show up!"
The yellow ox was speechless.
It felt ashamed. The big black ox had a thicker face than it, doing nothing but still claiming credit, acting all heroic.
"A disgrace to the family," it wrote on the ground.
"You're not much better. You came back to steal my seeds and didn't even shed a tear," Chu Feng glared at it.
The yellow ox was不服 (unconvinced), saying it had already bowed in the direction of the Taihang Mountains, as a way to pay respects.
"Don't talk nonsense. Where are the purple-gold pine nuts? Hurry up and share them!" Chu Feng was very direct, sizing up the yellow ox, knowing that the big black ox and the yellow ox had gained a lot.
"They're gone, all in the old fraud's stomach!" The yellow ox wrote, then stepped back, looking at Chu Feng warily.
Seeing its reaction, Chu Feng knew this guy must be hiding a lot of pine nuts, so he pounced and fought with it.
In the end, the yellow ox gave in and agreed to share.
It wasn't being generous; it just thought it might not need so many pine nuts.
The pine cone was as big as an adult's fist, containing over 120 pine nuts. It and the big black ox had peeled off at least half of them.
After escaping the Taihang Mountains and settling down, the big black ox, like chewing a peony, swallowed 30 pine nuts in one go. It then smacked its lips, feeling that the amount was enough.
Afterward, it went to find a place to sleep, hoping to evolve again.
The yellow ox, on the other hand, returned to take the three seeds from Kunlun Mountain.
"Didn't you tell the big black ox?" Chu Feng was really worried. If that big liar found out, the three seeds might not be safe.
Absolutely not telling that fraud!
The yellow ox patted its chest, reassuring him.
They then started to share the loot. The yellow ox had 36 pine nuts, all larger than usual, plump and shiny, emitting a purple glow.
These pine nuts were very translucent, like purple agate, just looking at them made one feel they were extraordinary.
A special fragrance permeated the air, refreshing and calming the mind.
"Will I grow a tail or sprout two horns if I eat them?" Chu Feng hesitated.
He really wanted to try but was very conflicted.
These mysterious fruits contained incredible power, and once consumed, they could cause intense changes and grant extraordinary abilities.
The yellow ox nodded, this time very seriously, telling Chu Feng that the best choice was actually pollen, not the fruit.
Chu Feng noticed it was unusually serious, a rare occurrence, and asked seriously.
The yellow ox didn't understand the details but in the place it came from, some immortal holy lands were very particular, requiring disciples to evolve using pollen.
As for the fruit, it was best to avoid it.
It guessed there might be some drawbacks later on.
Of course, the yellow ox also added that some supreme legacies didn't have this taboo and seemed to have methods to resolve it.
Chu Feng wanted to know more, but the yellow ox seemed unwilling to talk about that world.
This left him in a dilemma. The purple-gold pine nuts were right in front of him, definitely good, but he was very hesitant about whether to consume them.
The yellow ox was eating the pine nuts, even chewing the shells and swallowing them whole. It ate five at once, carefully sensing the changes in its body.
Chu Feng, upon seeing this, felt he had been deceived. Why wasn't this guy worried? It was just munching on the pine nuts!
"Bull Demon!" he called out.
The yellow ox was dazed, the pine nuts having an incredibly strong effect, making its body heat up and its eyes go straight.
Chu Feng saw this as a good opportunity to get the truth, as the guy was a bit confused.
"Aren't you worried about the future drawbacks?"
Even with its slowed reaction, the yellow ox still looked proud, writing on the ground to tell Chu Feng that it was different, with golden horns and fur.
"What nonsense!" Chu Feng wanted to slap it.
"Some creatures are favored by heaven," the yellow ox wrote, then closed its mouth, saying nothing more.
In the end, it swallowed 12 pine nuts and stopped.
In fact, by the time it swallowed the 10th pine nut, it felt no further changes in its body, and the mysterious effects had stopped increasing.
Chu Feng was conflicted, wondering if he should eat them.
At the same time, he thought of the white snake. If it were to massacre the city, it might start nearby, and they should evacuate immediately.
"It's fine," the yellow ox wrote, telling Chu Feng that the white snake kept its word and wouldn't massacre the town.
It admitted that the big black ox had told it, otherwise, it wouldn't have been allowed back to Qingyang Town.
Chu Feng frowned, perhaps only the kings among the strange beasts understood each other. But if so, it was terrifying—would the white snake really massacre two cities?
"Did Zhou Quan escape?" he quickly contacted him.
The communicator beeped a few times and finally connected. Zhou Quan was alive and had returned to the county town.
However, he was injured. When talking to Chu Feng, he seemed relieved, having experienced such a terrifying event without any lasting trauma.
Chu Feng was puzzled and asked, only to find out that Zhou Quan's two horns were broken, one by a ten-thousand-pound boulder and the other by the white snake's body.
He had survived by sheer luck.
"I was scared to death. There's actually such a huge snake in this world. I won't run around recklessly anymore!" Zhou Quan was relieved and even happy, finally getting rid of those two horns.
"Leave the county town quickly. The white snake might start the massacre there!" Chu Feng warned.
"I know!" Zhou Quan was worried, asking if Chu Feng's place was safe. His family was preparing to flee because he had personally experienced the Taihang Mountains incident and knew the white snake had said it would massacre two cities to honor the dead strange beasts.
"Come over!" Chu Feng readily agreed.
Zhou Quan drove over, almost wrecking the car, speeding along the broken roads, fearing the white snake's massacre.
Sure enough, his two horns were broken, and he was quite listless, with many bloodstains on his body.
"These are my parents," Zhou Quan introduced, helping two elderly people out of the car. They looked pale, partly from shock and partly from the car's high speed, which had made them vomit several times on the road.
"Uncle, Aunt, hello," Chu Feng greeted.
It was clear the two elders were very weak and had no energy.
Chu Feng quickly arranged for them. There was an empty courtyard behind his house, and the family had long moved away. In such a critical time, there was no need to be polite.
He unlocked the gate and arranged for Zhou Quan's family to stay there.
After all, he had a yellow ox at home, and the big black ox might also appear. If they accidentally scared Zhou Quan's parents, it would be bad. The two elders were already weak and shouldn't be startled.
"Your injuries are serious; your bones are broken," Chu Feng was surprised. Zhou Quan was quite resilient, with two broken ribs, but he hadn't made a sound and hadn't told his parents.
Chu Feng thought for a moment and handed over two purple pine nuts.
"This..." Zhou Quan was shocked, immediately guessing what they were.
"Say nothing, eat them quickly!" Chu Feng turned and left.
When he returned, he found the yellow ox had awakened, its eyes shooting out two astonishing golden beams, emitting a much stronger energy wave!
"Where's Jin Gang? Has he left the Taihang Mountains? I miss him!" The yellow ox, with its greatly increased strength, thought of Jin Gang first.
What does that mean? Chu Feng was puzzled.
The yellow ox looked proud, wanting to test if it could knock Jin Gang out with a few kicks this time.
Chu Feng was speechless. Such deep obsession, too unscrupulous. It had initially ambushed Jin Gang, and now, because it didn't knock him out, it couldn't let it go!
The yellow ox was indeed extraordinary. Its appearance hadn't changed, no scales or wings, still the same as before.
At the same time, it told Chu Feng that the pine tree was not an ordinary tree species. The green pine remained evergreen, unafraid of winter snow. After mutation, the fruits it bore were extraordinary.
Chu Feng felt it. One purple-gold pine cone could produce so many pine nuts, enough for several people to consume, creating several experts!
"Is there any strange soil under the pine tree?" Chu Feng was very concerned about this.
The yellow ox nodded, looking confident, telling Chu Feng that this time it could definitely make the three seeds from Kunlun Mountain take root and sprout!
