Chapter 45: Xiaohong's day trapped in thorns★ Fish-luring algae

Little Red had a small nest of its own.

It was located right at the edge of the new Safe Zone.

Around the nest, several Small Mirror Grasses swayed in the wind.

In the very center of the nest, two Spirit Stones, emitting a faint glow, lay quietly.

At this moment,

Little Red was coiled on the Spirit Stones, absorbing the weak Spiritual Qi overflowing from them.

Thanks to its pure Bloodline and a body free of Impurities,

Little Red's Cultivation speed far surpassed that of an ordinary Crimson Patterned Snake.

This made it extremely satisfied.

Recalling not long ago,

Little Red's greatest wish had only been to obtain even a trace of Spiritual Qi, allowing itself to evolve into a true Spirit Beast.

Only a short time had passed.

Not only had it become a true Spirit Beast, but its Bloodline was pure, and its Physical Body was flawless.

Furthermore,

it had also acquired extremely precious Spirit Stones to Cultivate with.

Little Red, of course, knew that all of this was thanks to its master.

Therefore,

ever since it acknowledged Li Zhuo as its master, it had harbored no disloyalty.

It absolutely obeyed Li Zhuo.

After Cultivating for a while, Little Red, as usual, patrolled in all directions.

It searched for spiritual plants for its master.

It crawled and crawled towards the center of the Safe Zone.

The scenery along the way amazed it.

Of course, it had been here before.

But at that time,

this area was filled with dense jungle and low shrubs, and the ground was covered in dead branches and fallen leaves.

It was no different from other parts of Wanshou Mountain.

But now,

it was completely different here.

Centered around the large banyan tree, the surrounding area had been completely leveled.

Beneath the tree canopy, smooth, flat wooden boards were laid.

A beautiful flower and a poisonous thorn bush were also planted.

The area slightly further out had also been completely cleared.

Not only were there no dead branches or fallen leaves,

even tall trees and various plants had been cleared away.

Only the ground was slightly uneven.

“In a while, I’ll lay bluestone slabs here ~ As my Dao field, it can’t be too shabby ~”

Its master would occasionally mention such a phrase.

Little Red also kept it in mind.

While searching for spiritual plants, it would also pay attention to where the stone quality was better.

Within the already cleared area, several exquisite buildings had appeared.

One of the small houses was its master’s.

Behind it was a slightly larger house, where its master’s belongings were stored.

In front of the large house, two warehouses had been fenced off with wood.

One for fruits, one for wheat.

A magical small grass was also planted in the center.

According to its master,

this small grass could keep fruits fresh.

Rustle, rustle.

Little Red crawled in front of its master.

It often entered the Safe Zone so its master could give commands at any time.

This time,

its master seemed to have no tasks for it, but instead smiled and stroked its head.

“Cultivate well. We’ll start fighting in a few days ~”

Little Red felt warmth in its heart.

Its master was very generous and gentle.

Completely different from its initial impression.

Little Red flicked its tongue and rubbed against its master’s palm.

Then, rustle, rustle, it left.

Passing by Little Flower, the leopard was clearing dead branches further away.

Seeing it crawl by,

Little Flower smiled and greeted it, calling it “Crimson Patterned Snake Lord” repeatedly.

Such sweet talk ~

Little Red naturally didn’t dislike Little Flower.

After all,

before Little Flower came, many things still needed to be done by its master personally.

Such as cooking, cleaning, and other chores.

Every time it saw its master do these things, Little Red felt it wasn’t competent enough.

It wanted to take over these tasks but was gently refused by its master.

“You need to search for spiritual plants, and you also need to Cultivate. In the future, you’ll need to stand on your own ~”

Since its master said so, Little Red naturally didn’t dare to slack off.

It still felt in its heart that it wasn’t doing well enough.

After all,

compared to its master’s grace, the things it did were simply not worth mentioning.

Fortunately,

ever since Little Flower arrived, its master was spared many tasks.

Therefore,

it had a good impression of this leopard.

After crawling forward for a while longer,

Little Red deliberately bypassed the lush green wheat field.

There,

was a fierce and powerful Squirrel.

It dared not provoke it.

However,

this Squirrel looked fierce, but in reality, it was an excellent companion.

When it was targeted by that fire-breathing big bird,

it was this Squirrel who stepped forward and helped it block the big bird.

Thinking of this,

Little Red looked with goodwill at the Little Squirrel who was catching insects in the field.

“What are you looking at? Want a beating?!”

The Squirrel’s words startled Little Red.

It dared not linger and immediately ran away.

It ran to an unexplored area.

It extended its tongue and began to investigate little by little.

Little Red had no talent for detecting treasures.

It could only choose the most fool method.

A blade of grass, a flower, a stone…

Anything it saw in the mountains, it would carefully investigate.

While licking a small grass with its tongue,

Little Red suddenly noticed Little Flower holding a long string of thorny vines, walking towards the outer edge of the Safe Zone.

Its expression was quite excited.

Little Red was a little curious.

Rustle, rustle, it followed.

【Individual Information: Plant Type — Ground Trap Thorn ★】

【Coagulated Spirit Toxin (White)】: Creatures below level 15 will fall into a paralyzed state if they step on the Ground Trap Thorn.

This spiritual plant was extremely inconspicuous.

Even Li Zhuo hadn’t discovered it.

It was Little Flower who stepped on it while cleaning the Safe Zone.

It lay on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

This finally attracted Li Zhuo’s attention.

After modifying the attribute points,

Li Zhuo arranged for Little Flower to plant it at the northern edge of the Safe Zone.

Planted interchangeably with the Small Mirror Grass there, it was perfectly hidden among the vast number of shrubs.

It could serve as a warning and for hunting.

A bonus ~

Having planted the Ground Trap Thorn, Li Zhuo was in a very good mood.

He washed his hands in his small pond.

He suddenly noticed that the adjacent water area seemed to have bubbles continuously rising.

It should be fish gathering.

“Hmm?”

“What’s wrong with these fish?”

Li Zhuo curiously looked towards the water, and indeed saw several fish crowded together.

“What’s going on?”

Li Zhuo was very curious.

He took a wooden fish spear and poked at the school of fish!

He indeed speared a large fat fish!

After this scare,

the school of fish suddenly scattered.

Li Zhuo finally saw the reason attracting the fish to gather.

— — A blue-green water alga.

“Goodness, when luck comes, you can’t stop it?”

“Discovering two spiritual plants in one day!”

“A good omen ~”

As Li Zhuo spoke, the school of fish, not knowing death, gathered again.

They circled around the algae below.

“Little Flower, go!”

The algae’s location was outside the Safe Zone, so Li Zhuo naturally wouldn’t act personally.

With just one command,

Little Flower leaped into the water.

Besides catching a few fat fish and throwing them into Li Zhuo’s small fish pond,

it also dug out the algae.

To avoid damaging the algae’s root system, it even dug up a large clump of silt along with it.

“Well done!”

Li Zhuo praised it and checked the algae’s attributes.

【Individual Information: Plant Type — Fish Luring Algae】

【Lure Fish (White)】: Can attract ordinary fish within a five-zhang radius.

“Good stuff ~”

“My fish pond doesn’t have many large fish left.”

“As long as the Fish Luring Algae is planted outside the fish pond, it can attract many fat fish.”

“Then catching fish will be simple.”

“Hehe ~”

He happily planted the Fish Luring Algae.

The next day, he adjusted the attributes, increasing its fish-luring range to ten zhang.

Li Zhuo was finally satisfied.

What made him even happier was that,

according to the plan, he had already converted all the magical power in his Dantian.

He was about to break through to the next realm!
