Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 148 Seeking Medicine for Zhuzhu

"Zhuzhu, father is sorry for you, for letting you get hurt and for letting you give up the medicine!"

Long Ying picked up Zhu Zhu and patted her back guiltily, while Zhu Zhu said excitedly:

"Father, as long as you recover your health, are you worried about not being able to find medicine for Zhuzhu?"

Bai Ze continued, "We can look for some elixirs or animal crystals with powerful healing abilities. Perhaps they can help Zhuzhu recover."

"No need. We'll go directly to the Soul Return Grass and ask for it. I don't believe that the senior gave us three and still needs Zhuzhu's one!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and decided to return to the Sea Valley to seek the Soul Returning Grass. When they arrived at the Sea Valley, they found that it had completely changed beyond recognition.

The once lush forest had become barren, with a foul smell in the air, clearly having suffered some kind of disaster.

"What's going on?" Long Ying frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Just then, a gust of cold wind blew, and a figure slowly appeared in front of them.

"It's you..." A deep voice sounded, carrying with it an immense pressure. "How dare you break the contract and come again to claim the Soul Returning Grass!"

The person who spoke was the mysterious senior who was guarding the Soul Return Grass. His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment.

"Senior, we did not intend to breach the contract, it's just that Zhuzhu..." Long Ying hurriedly explained.

"Enough!" the senior interrupted him. "In any case, you have already broken the rules. The Soul-Returning Grass is an ancient divine object. How can it be easily given to mortals?"

Faced with the questioning of the elders, everyone was speechless for a moment. They realized that this quest for the Soul Returning Grass might not be so smooth. Seeing this, Mona immediately stepped forward and saluted:

"Senior, please show mercy again and give me a Soul Returning Grass to save my little female from suffering!"

"You little bitch, you don't keep your word. I've already given you three Soul Returning Grasses, and now you come again and rob me. Look at what a mess you've made of my Sea Valley!"

"Robbery. Senior, is there a misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding? After you left that day, a large group of people came and kept asking me about it. Look at this sea valley for yourself. What a devastated state it has become. How many of our spirit beasts have they killed? We didn't come to settle accounts with you, but you still flattered us. Now you come to me to ask for the Soul Returning Grass."

"Senior, we rushed back with the three Soul Returning Herbs you gave us. We just gave them to my partner, and he's only just recovered! How could we have the time to come back and rob him?"

The mysterious elder listened to Mona's words and stared at the people below with a half-believing, half-doubting gaze. When his eyes swept over the dragon's shadow, he paused for a moment and asked:

"Yes, this kid has taken the Soul-Returning Grass, and his soul has just been restored! Eh? This female doll?"

"Senior, she is our daughter. She was seriously injured. My partner used nine of them, so there are no Soul Returning Herbs left to save our daughter. That's why I came to ask for your help again. As for what you said about returning to steal the spiritual medicine and injuring the spiritual beast, it was not us who did it."

"None of us have ever been here." Jin Jue said, "If we really stole the Soul Returning Grass, why would we have to come here again? We just gave it to Zhuzhu and it took until now!"

"You haven't been here? How is that possible? They are obviously you. Orcs from the Dragon, Phoenix and Qilin tribes. Don't bully me for not being in the world, but I still know a few orcs."

"Senior, do you still remember me?"

"Hmm!" The mysterious old man uttered a syllable from his nose when he saw that it was Bai Chen.

"Senior, do you remember the Sea Demon we told you about?"

The mysterious old man snorted again, indicating that he didn't know.

"The orcs of the Qilin and Phoenix tribes were controlled by the Sea Demon God through some means. I think he used these orcs to steal the herbs."

"Why did he want to steal the herbs? And even hurt people!"

"Because he originally shared a body with my partner. He wanted to take over his body. Fortunately, with the guidance of the old senior Di Ting, he found the Five Flavors Divine Water and separated them. As a result, his soul was damaged. I came here specifically to ask for the Soul Returning Grass. My little female, Zhuzhu, is the heir of Di Ting. She is the Soul of the Earth. In order to destroy the Sea Demon God, he exhausted all his energy and spirit, and his soul was also damaged. That's why we came here specifically to ask for medicine."

"What? You said he's the Earth Spirit? How can he have a human form?"

"We used many methods to free him from his restraints and finally restored his human form."

"Little kid, come forward a little, let me take a closer look."

Longying carried Zhuzhu forward and gently placed her on the grass.

The dark shadow looked down at Zhuzhu from the air.

"That's right, he is indeed the Soul of the Earth. I didn't expect that he could transform into a human form and have a soul and consciousness. That's great, that's great. Well, since you are so sincere, I also believe in Di Ting's character and all the efforts that the Soul of the Earth has made for everyone. I will also give you a Soul Returning Grass."

Mona and others thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, senior, thank you, senior."

Mona trotted over to the large patch of grassy meadow nearby. She carefully plucked out a small, dew-covered blue flower and gently placed it in Zhuzhu's mouth.

Zhuzhu licked her lips, moved her jaw, and gently swallowed it. Suddenly, her whole body felt clear and warm.

After a while, Zhuzhu suddenly felt her bones cracking and frowned in pain.

"Give her the second one quickly!" Aquaman shouted anxiously.

A flower of the Soul Returning Grass quickly restored Zhuzhu's body functions. Mona looked at the large black shadow in the void again.

"Senior. I think Zhuzhu needs a second or even a third flower. Please help me!"

"Use it first. If it's not enough, go pick some. Go pick some. I won't make it difficult for you."

Mona immediately plucked a second flower and gave it to Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu was meditating, white smoke billowing from her head. Her face was flushed, and it was obvious that her strength was improving. Her injuries were healing. The orcs and the cubs were all smiling happily.

"Thank you, senior." After Zhuzhu took the third Soul Returning Grass, she no longer had her soul torn apart and recovered her health. Everyone gathered together happily and thanked the black shadow in the void.

"Thank you, senior."

Bai Chen walked up and spoke to the void.

"Senior, the orcs you mentioned. Was there a puff of black smoke or fog when they arrived?"

"How do you know? And you said it had nothing to do with him?"

The mysterious shadow's angry voice rang out. Bai Chen immediately explained:

"We really have nothing to do with him. He is the Sea Demon God. We are hunting him down. We must kill him for the sake of the entire continent and the entire beast world. He is a ruthless and evil man. To restore his own flesh and blood, he even sucked the blood of the Phoenix and Qilin tribes and ruthlessly destroyed their bodies..."
