The yellow ox was full of confidence, for the piece of earth he had obtained was truly extraordinary.
"Quick, take it out!" Chu Feng urged.
The yellow ox, full of spirit, took out the piece of earth from his large sack and carefully placed it on the stone table in the courtyard, immediately drawing Chu Feng's attention.
Indeed, it was extraordinary!
It was crystal clear and transparent, not like a clod of earth but rather like a piece of jade, very translucent. Most importantly, it was as large as half an adult's fist.
Earlier, Chu Feng had obtained a few pieces of strange earth, only as big as fingernail covers, which could not compare to this one, the difference being too great.
Upon closer inspection, it did not look like earth but rather like a dense cluster of jade particles stuck together, very transparent.
This piece of strange earth had two colors, a tender green intertwined with purple gold, emitting a lustrous glow, corresponding to the green of the small tree and the purple gold of the pinecone.
"It's much stronger than the strange earth under those few roots!" Chu Feng praised.
The strange earth under the peculiar small tree, when held up to the sunlight, revealed green and purple light, like flickering flames!
Chu Feng was surprised, and then his smile became even more radiant.
The yellow ox grinned, laughing foolishly.
They were both very hopeful, feeling that this time they could succeed.
"I wonder how the three seeds are doing."
Chu Feng squatted down and carefully dug through the soil in the flower bed. The last time, he had buried the fingernail-sized piece of strange earth to nourish the seeds.
Calculating the time, it had been many days.
"There's a slight change!"
Under the damp soil, the more plump seed was exposed, still not sprouting, but the green on it had increased, carrying a vital energy.
Ultimately, it had not transformed and sprouted roots.
The yellow ox also came over to observe carefully.
"This one has actually changed quite a bit," Chu Feng said.
When it was first discovered at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, it was withered and lacked luster, and was very wrinkled.
Now, many places were no longer wrinkled, covered with green patterns, green and lustrous, with a strange vitality that was hard to describe but could be felt.
The patterns on the seed were very special, appearing intricate and mysterious, with a fresh green hue.
Chu Feng dug again, but to his disappointment, the other two seeds showed no change, still lifeless.
One was black and shriveled, slightly deformed. The other was purplish-brown, flat and round, as if it had been flattened. When obtained, they were already in this state, lacking vitality.
It would be very difficult for these two seeds to sprout and grow roots.
"Let's concentrate all the strange earth on the first seed," Chu Feng decided.
The yellow ox nodded in agreement.
The problem was that the seed needed time to sprout and grow.
And the white snake in the Taihang Mountains was a cause for concern.
The yellow ox disappeared, going to find the big black ox to ask if the area was still safe, as it did not want any accidents to happen while the seed was growing.
It went quickly and returned just as fast, telling Chu Feng that there was no problem in the short term.
The kings of the strange beasts knew each other best.
"I hope it grows quickly!" the yellow ox hoped.
Because the big black ox had told it that it would soon take it on a journey west to Flame Mountain, and it did not have much time left.
"Is it really the Bull Demon King!?" Chu Feng was stunned.
The yellow ox shook its head, it did not know.
The so-called Flame Mountain was a volcanic area adjacent to Kunlun Mountain.
The yellow ox had always wanted to enter Kunlun and would not miss this opportunity.
"How is that small tree?" Chu Feng asked, the small tree rooted in the bronze mountain of Kunlun had left a deep impression on him.
"The old charlatan didn't go into detail, but he told me that he could take me there in the future," the yellow ox wrote.
Chu Feng inserted the plump seed with more green patterns into the fist-sized piece of strange earth and then buried it in a wooden bucket.
The earlier fingernail-sized pieces of strange earth were not wasted and were also placed inside.
If the situation was not right, he was prepared to take the wooden bucket with him.
After watering it, the man and the ox sat there, eagerly watching, wishing it would sprout and grow roots immediately.
It was easy to imagine how eager and hopeful they were.
Chu Feng was full of hope and anticipation, and it was precisely because of this that he had not yet taken the purple gold pine seeds.
He felt that the seed buried in the earth might bring him a pleasant surprise!
The yellow ox was like a cat with its claws scratching its heart, pacing back and forth, checking the wooden bucket every few minutes, which made Chu Feng quite anxious.
Suddenly, Chu Feng's communicator rang; it was his mother calling.
"Mom!" Chu Feng answered.
On the other end of the communicator, his mother was very anxious, almost crying, and urgently asked if he was still in Qingyang Town.
Now, the outside world was in an uproar, boiling over, because the commotion in the Taihang Mountains was too great, spreading to all regions in the shortest time.
A huge white snake, hundreds of meters long, which even missiles could not kill, rampaged through the Taihang Mountains, killing thousands of strange beings, shocking the world.
This was no longer a matter of one country or region; it spread to all countries.
It could be said that the impact was enormous, the most serious event since the great changes in the world.
People around the world were talking about it.
A few photos of the white snake were posted online, showing the massive snake body directly breaking through mountain peaks, breaking the sound barrier, and flying through the air, truly awe-inspiring.
Adding to this were the accounts of the strange beings who had experienced the battle, explaining the process, shocking the world.
People were deeply worried; the appearance of the white snake was due to the legends of the Taihang Mountains.
And there were such legends in other regions of the country, some even more bizarre and terrifying. Could it be that these places also harbored legendary creatures?
The outside world could not remain calm either, as there were many mysterious legends around the world. If they all became reality, it would be terrifying.
Chu Feng watched for a long time until the sun set, then he put down the communicator.
"Chu Feng, something big has happened, save me!"
At that moment, Zhou Quan burst into Chu Feng's courtyard, shouting in terror.
His face was pale, and he looked very frightened.
"What happened?!" Chu Feng was greatly alarmed, clearly Zhou Quan had encountered something, his eyes were scattered, as if he had been terrified.
The yellow ox was very alert, leaping onto the wall and looking toward the Taihang Mountains, suspecting that the large white snake might have appeared and was heading in this direction.
"Like a bolt from the blue, bad news!" Zhou Quan shouted.
"Did something happen to your brother?" Chu Feng knew that Zhou Quan had a brother who had been away, and because many roads were cut off, he had not been able to return.
"No!" Zhou Quan shook his head, trembling and pointing to himself, saying, "It's me who has a problem."
What could have caused such a reaction? Chu Feng looked at him suspiciously.
"My horns have grown back!" Zhou Quan wailed.
Not long ago, those two horns had broken off, and he felt relieved, thinking he had returned to normal.
However, after eating the two pine seeds Chu Feng had given him and sleeping, he found his scalp itchy, and the broken horns began to regrow, sprouting a small segment.
Chu Feng was speechless; this was not a big deal, and he had actually expected that Zhou Quan would recover.
The yellow ox was very angry, thinking it was the white snake, and almost kicked it.
"It's just two horns, nothing to worry about!" Chu Feng patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Zhou Quan burst into tears, saying, "It's not just two horns, if it were, I wouldn't be so anxious."
"Look, there's another one, now I have three horns!" He lifted his big hairstyle, pointing to his head.
Indeed, besides the regrown horns, a new horn had appeared in the center of his head, pointing straight up, like a topknot.
"How did another one grow?" Chu Feng was almost speechless.
Zhou Quan looked up, speechless, the original two horns had already troubled him, who would have thought that now a third one had grown!
Chu Feng felt quite sympathetic; if the third horn were "less conspicuous," it would be fine, but it was like a topknot, too unusual.
The yellow ox grinned, coming over to touch Zhou Quan's third horn.
Zhou Quan was so angry he wanted to bite it; at this moment, this shameless ox was still mocking him.
The yellow ox lowed, writing on the ground, telling him that this was a good thing, indicating that he might have a place in the ox family in the future.
"You, get away!" Zhou Quan, angry, pushed away the hoof that was touching his head and, with resentment, ran back to the house behind.
At night, Chu Feng and the yellow ox sat in the courtyard, seemingly admiring the moon, but actually staring at the wooden bucket, wishing a miracle would happen immediately.
Suddenly, Chu Feng became alert.
In fact, the yellow ox had already noticed; its strength had increased significantly, and its intuition was much sharper.
Chu Feng said, quickly tidying up the courtyard and the room to avoid exposing anything that should not be seen.
The moon hung high, and the night was very quiet.
Chu Feng's house was on the eastern edge of the town, next to an orchard, with a large expanse of bright moonlight falling, making the place white, very peaceful and quiet.
A tall woman stepped into the moonlight, she was extremely beautiful, with a hazy glow around her in the moonlight.
Lin Nuoyi, it was her who had come.
