This meant that Wei Xiao Bei could send the Digging Pig to scout a lot of places that he could not go.

Besides, the Digging Pig was even more beneficial as it wasn’t fully controlled by Wei Xiao Bei and could feed itself, proactively scout and act in response to the situation.

Of course, Wei Xiao Bei also knew that the Digging Pig wasn’t a complete living being.

The reason was really simple. It was asexual, thus it couldn’t reproduce.

With that being said, it still made Wei Xiao Bei excited.

Wei Xiao Bei grabbed the little pig, who had already exited its hole, and put it on his shoulder. The little pig automatically held tight while Wei Xiao Bei rushed toward the forest in a hurry.

Wei Xiao Bei was in such a hurry because he suddenly remembered Huang Kun, who he had thrown away with great strength.

Will he be fine?

After all, those Monster Trees were only 1-Star Elite Creatures. Compared to Huang Kun who was a 2-Star Creature, and pretty close to 2-Star Elite, they were a lot weaker.

Yet, Wei Xiao Bei was still somewhat worried due to the number of Monster Trees.

While Wei Xiao Bei rushed back anxiously, he noticed a human-shaped cocoon formed by a few tree roots be lifted up by some Monster Trees.

Wei Xiao Bei was scared that Huang Kun might already be dead.

However, the human form cocoon moved slightly and cried faintly for help from within.

Wei Xiao Bei finally felt at ease after hearing the cry.

This guy isn’t dead yet!

Wei Xiao Bei rushed toward it without even taking his great spear out.

The Monster Tree felt a weak vibration come from the ground, responding by ordering thousands of roots to come out from the ground with the intent to entangle Wei Xiao Bei.

If it was a normal person, they would never be able to handle such a numerous amount of roots. They would definitely be tangled up at once.

Yet, these roots were nothing to Wei Xiao Bei. He stomped hard against the ground, emitting a strong shockwave which caused the roots to become soft.

Before the roots could rise again, Wei Xiao Bei already rushed to the human-shaped cocoon and cut the roots connected to it by using his hands like knives, slashing quickly.

Wei Xiao Bei then put the cocoon on his shoulder and dashed out of the forest as quick as lightning. The Monster Trees couldn’t do anything as they could never reach Wei Xiao Bei no matter how many roots they sent. Thus, they could only watch Wei Xiao Bei dodge the many attacks and escape to the river.

It was obvious that that the Monster Trees could never reach Wei Xiao Bei at their normal speed. After a wave of attacks, the roots finally went back into the ground, and the forest returned to its silent state.

Wei Xiao Bei had already removed the roots entangling Huang Kun and released him.

Huang Kun was wearing the armor that Wei Xiao Bei gave him. Roots had pierced through the armor but his life was saved as they couldn’t deal any critical damage to him.

Yet, Huang Kun was indeed unfortunate.

The parts that weren’t covered by the armor were filled with bloody, tiny holes that were pierced through by sharp roots.

If it wasn’t for his high vitality and the damage reduction effect of [Web of Roots], Huang Kun would probably be dead by now.

Although he looked extremely weak and heavily wounded, at least he managed to survive till now. However, he couldn’t last any longer with such injuries.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately dropped a few drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth into Huang Kun’s mouth, as his first priority was to save Huang Kun’s life.

For someone like Huang Kun, a few drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth should be enough to keep him alive.

The effect of the Secondary Spring Water of Youth was quickly made apparent. Seeing the recovery of Huang Kun’s injuries and how the tiny holes were shrinking, Wei Xiao Bei felt relieved.

Huang Kun’s life was finally saved!

After a long time, Huang Kun suddenly coughed vigorously, continuing until a few dark clots of blood came out of his mouth. Taking a chance to steady himself he finally took a long, deep breath.

“Master?”

Huang Kun sat up and opened his eyes to see Wei Xiao Bei standing in front of him, and he couldn’t help but feel surprised. Yet, Huang Kun quickly grew upset upon thinking about the life-threatening situation his master had put him in, how he had been entangled by the Monster Trees. He harumphed coldly and turned away, unwilling to look at Wei Xiao Bei.

Seeing Huang Kun upset, Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but laugh. He slapped the top of Huang Kun’s head and sent him back to the ground.

“Master! Objection! You’re inhumane! I’m still wounded!”

“Wounded? Then why do you suddenly know how to ignore your Master? Anyway, I’ll leave first.”

Wei Xiao Bei turned after saying that. It made Huang Kun scared, so he immediately apologized, “Master, I’m sorry. I know I’m in the wrong.”

“Okay, you go back to reality first.” Wei Xiao Bei was just joking with Huang Kun. He threw Huang Kun away initially to prevent him from getting hurt, but he eventually got hurt anyway, so Wei Xiao Bei was also at fault. However, he couldn’t lower his reputation as a master.

Yet, with Huang Kun’s injuries, using more than ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth to fully recover would be a waste.

Thus, it would be better to let this guy return home and rest.

Huang Kun wasn’t willing to return initially, but after Wei Xiao Bei authoritatively pressured him Huang Kun had to return unwillingly.

Yet, Huang Kun did not notice the little pig laying on Wei Xiao Bei’s shoulder the entire time, not noticing until he left the Dust World and returned to reality. Based on that, it could be seen that after the Digging Pig activated its weakling ability, its presence was extremely unnoticeable.

Waiting until Huang Kun left, Wei Xiao Bei instructed the little pig on his shoulder to hold tight and then ran along the river.

When Wei Xiao Bei returned to the Dang Kang hill, he couldn’t help but sigh at the scene.

It was a pity about the Dang Kangs. If they were kept until now to be barbecued, Wei Xiao Bei’s cooking skill might increase another level.

However, it was useless to sigh now.

Bypassing the small hill, Wei Xiao Bei ran toward the direction of Lai Longgang.

Since Wei Xiao Bei was there, he naturally had to visit Lai Longgang as their relationship was quite good.

Besides, Wei Xiao Bei could also borrow some cookware from the local god’s temple to make some dishes.

The distance between his location and Lai Longgang wasn’t too far nor too near, but Wei Xiao Bei needed at least twenty minutes to get there.

A local god’s temple appeared at the far edge of the grey land, a field of yellowish green grass spread around the temple.

The moment Wei Xiao Bei stepped on the field, a cloud of white smoke started to emerge around twenty meters before him.

Before the white smoke faded away, an old voice instructed, “Stop!”

“Local god, long time no see. I missed you so much!”

Wei Xiao Bei interrupted the god without waiting for him to finish his sentence.

The white smoke faded away and an old man with a light green robe and walking stick stared at Wei Xiao Bei surprised. After identifying him, he smiled and said, “It’s Buddy Wei! I was wondering why I was in a good mood today.”

The local god was indeed friendly, and Wei Xiao Bei also smiled with him.

After the duo chatted for a while, Wei Xiao Bei took out ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth as a visiting gift.

From Wei Xiao Bei’s perspective, although the Lai Longgang local god had a lower position among the gods in Bai Ta County, he was still a god!

In fact, the spiritual position of the border patroller from Shing Wong Temple was much higher than the local god, but he was only a side god under Shing Wong. Besides, with the border patroller’s personality, he would never befriend Wei Xiao Bei and was instead more likely to duel him.

Bai Ta Hill might be a huge factor of the friendliness the local god felt toward Wei Xiao Bei, but Wei Xiao Bei still needed to cultivate their relationship.

It was really difficult to look for gifts for the local god as he might not value common things whatsoever, but Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t give his Divine White Mist Great Spear or Hard Metal Jian away. Thus, the Secondary Spring Water of Youth became his best choice.

Treasure from the Nordic Gods!

The title was enough to raise the class of a gift no matter whether the local god favors the gift or not.

What made Wei Xiao Bei feel relief was Lai Longgang’s tiny eyes immediately opening wide when he took out the ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth.

The next moment, the local god raised his walking stick and a fade white mist surrounded the ten drops of Secondary Spring Water of Youth and protected them.

“Buddy Wei, you are too careless!”

The local god scolded Wei Xiao Bei.

Careless?

Wei Xiao Bei was slightly confused.

The local god waved his right hand while the white fog quickly took the Secondary Spring Water of Youth and made it disappear into his sleeves. “This isn’t the right place to talk. Let’s go to my temple first.”

The local god raised his walking stick again after finishing his words. The next moment, Wei Xiao Bei was already standing in front of the main door of the local god’s temple.

When the main door opened, two rows of small ghosts greeted him on both sides.

While they were seated at the main hall, the local god ordered the small ghosts to serve tea before Wei Xiao Bei could say a word.

“Still the Fortune Tea?”

Wei Xiao Bei did not use [Status Appraisal] but stared at the local god excitedly.

The local god was feeling funny, “Of course! You are right! Since Buddy Wei rarely visits, why would I be stingy with that bit of tea?”

“Great!”

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t hesitate and lifted the teacup. The Small Holding Bag dipped into the tea, and it completely disappeared, being absorbed by the Small Holding Bag.

Since the Fortune Tea could temporarily increase luck and give immunity to magic, Wei Xiao Bei naturally wouldn’t drink it directly.

Similar to the Fortune Tea previously, it was completely wasted after drinking it.
