Upon seeing such a large patch of premium blood beech forest, even Cheng Xiaofan was shocked. This was a very rare Baoxi Beech.
No wonder Shen Ruobing was so moved to tears upon seeing this premium blood beech.
Haha!
It seemed that encountering the Baoxi Beech here also signaled the arrival of spring for Zhuxi Village!
"Roar—"
Suddenly, from the depths of the forest, came a chilling animal roar.
As the roar subsided, several scarlet shadows sprang out from the depths of the forest.
"Ruobing, dodge quickly!"
In less than a blink of an eye, Cheng Xiaofan shouted and transformed into an afterimage, lunging forward and pulling Shen Ruobing behind him.
"Chirp—"
"Woof woof!"
At the same time, an eagle and a dog, with fierce dominance, charged towards the scarlet shadows amidst sonic booms.
The scarlet shadows were clearly startled by the overwhelming aura of the eagle and the dog, freezing on the spot, not daring to advance.
Cheng Xiaofan peered closely and saw that they were several spotted leopards.
These spotted leopards were different from ordinary leopards; they had a thick crimson stripe down their backs. The mountain runners of Zhuxi Village used to call these leopards "blood leopards."
The reason was that when these leopards ran, the blood stripes on their backs would release a bloody gas that enveloped their entire bodies.
These blood leopards were also among the most dangerous animals in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
Once they released the bloody gas from their bodies, they would not stop until they drew blood.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but show a wry smile when he saw the scene before him.
It turned out that these blood leopards, like the beech birds, were the guardians of this blood beech forest.
Like the beech birds, they had sensed that a group of people had entered and intended to covet the blood beech wood, hence their anger and charge.
When the blood leopards froze in place, Potian Eagle and Taoqibao also stopped.
"Chirp—"
"Woof woof!"
When Potian Eagle and Taoqibao clearly saw that they were just a few leopards, they let out angry roars, "Scram, blind fools! Believe it or not, we'll tear you to shreds immediately?"
Especially Taoqibao. As soon as the words left his mouth, he charged at a nearby large rock as if suicidal. With a thunderous crash, the rock, weighing over three tons, instantly shattered into a pile of rubble.
Hmph!
If it weren't for the master's prior instruction not to kill indiscriminately upon entering the primeval forest, this dog lord would have transformed into a dragon with horns on its head and wings on its body, and crushed you with one claw!
"Oooo—" The blood leopards were so terrified by Taoqibao's actions that their legs went numb.
Isn't this just an ordinary dog?
When did it become a mountain king, so ferocious?
In this day and age, even dogs have become so powerful, what use are we blood leopards!
Let's get out of here!
The blood leopards immediately turned around and disappeared like wisps of smoke.
"Heavens, you scared me to death!"
Shen Ruobing patted her chest, which she was most proud of, and said, "I never thought that every precious forest would have its own guardian beasts!"
Even Cheng Xiaofan secretly took a cold breath.
He was fortunate to have brought Potian Eagle and Taoqibao today. Otherwise, if these blood leopards had attacked them from different directions, it was still uncertain whether he alone could have handled them.
Oh!
There was still a white goddess beside him, who should be able to deal with one blood leopard.
"Alright, it's safe now, everyone can look around this blood beech forest!" Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, as the danger had passed.
While everyone was engrossed in admiring the blood beech trees, Cheng Xiaofan secretly collected several Baoxi Beeches and transferred them into his spatial dimension.
It was simply not worth it to not collect a few of these world-rare precious trees into his dimension.
He planned to use this Baoxi Beech to make a bed for his parents, so that the elders could sleep on it and be free from all illnesses.
In fact, today, by using Shen Ruobing's ancestral secret recipe and comparing it with the wood grain of camphor wood, Cheng Xiaofan had not only captured the mystery between the two but also deciphered the hidden password of the thirty-six styles within the wedding bed.
Of course, if Cheng Xiaofan were not a descendant of Shennong, he would not have been able to decipher it so easily.
However, these thirty-six styles of passwords hidden within the wedding bed were meant to be understood rather than explained, and Cheng Xiaofan could not express them in words to tell Shen Ruobing.
She would only be able to comprehend them herself when she achieved a significant breakthrough in her craftsmanship.
Although Shen Ruobing's ancestor's secret recipe was specifically for a particular wedding bed, its applicability was very wide. Cheng Xiaofan could completely apply it to other furniture beds.
Cheng Xiaofan was not satisfied with collecting a few Baoxi Beeches. He immediately activated his x-ray vision and looked underground.
He knew that among the premium blood beech wood, there was a very precious variety, which was the material buried underground, having experienced tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
After a brief search with his gaze, Cheng Xiaofan discovered premium blood beech wood buried underground. Externally, it looked no different from gloomy wood, being completely black.
He knew he had found a treasure!
Whoosh!
A spiritual energy shot out from Cheng Xiaofan's palm and drilled into the ground.
Immediately, he guided the power of his spatial dimension. In no time, he had transferred several blood beech trees, about thirty-seven meters long and with a diameter of over one hundred centimeters, from underground into his space.
He did not even let go of branches as thick as ordinary steel pipes.
Continuing his search, Cheng Xiaofan discovered a large pile of premium blood beech wood buried about thirty meters deep in a dense forest, covering an area of about four to five mu.
He had not expected so much underground blood beech to be stored here.
Cheng Xiaofan selected a few pieces from it and stored them in his space.
In fact, Cheng Xiaofan was fully capable of moving all the premium blood beech buried here into his spatial dimension, but he did not do so.
After all, the "astonishing beech" buried in these Ten Thousand Mountains did not belong to him alone. Everything must have a limit, and getting some was enough.
He withdrew from the dense forest and found Shen Ruobing and her two engineers busy taking photos of the premium blood beech from different angles.
Bai Yiling was just an accompanying guest today; she was simply enjoying the scenery.
However, in Cheng Xiaofan's eyes, his own White Goddess was the truly captivating and beautiful scenery.
"You all carry on with your work; I'll make lunch for everyone!" Cheng Xiaofan called out to them.
Bai Yiling looked up at the sky and saw dark clouds gathering in the north, with distant thunder rumbling. She said, "Xiaofan, I think this thunderstorm might arrive early. We should head back for dinner!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "With me here, this thunderstorm won't reach this place."
Bai Yiling smiled and asked, "Really? With you here, this thunderstorm truly won't arrive?"
Cheng Xiaofan said with all seriousness, "Yes, you just wait and see. Just as it is said, this thunderstorm will arrive early, but when it reaches the vicinity of our blood beech forest, it will definitely stop."
