Ye Tian observed for a moment, discovering that the red fox's internal organs had shifted, its bones were broken in multiple places, and there were two tearing wounds.
Such injuries indeed meant it wouldn't live long.
He took out his immortal needles and began to treat the red fox. After a few needles, the red fox's spirit improved significantly. It looked at Ye Tian gratefully and nodded gently.
Ye Tian said, "Your injuries are quite severe. After I treat you, you should rest here, and let your companions bring you meat daily." Da Feng Novel Network
The red fox surprisingly understood him and nodded slightly.
Ye Tian asked, "You were injured by other beasts when you went to pick the red fruit, weren't you?"
The red fox nodded again.
Ye Tian chuckled, "You are quite human-like for a fox, knowing it was dangerous yet willing to do it for a friend. Indeed, you are more loyal and righteous than many people."
Niu Xiaojian lowered his head, "I'm sorry, Da Hong."
Ye Tian asked, "Can you tell me where that fruit is located?"
The red fox considered for a few seconds, then nodded and gave a soft call to the white ape. The white ape immediately patted its chest, indicating it could lead the way.
Ye Tian said, "No rush, I'll treat your injuries a bit longer."
At this moment, he channeled a portion of the spiritual energy from the Purple Spirit Fruit into the red fox's body to aid its recovery.
After another ten minutes or so, he said, "You rest your injuries first, I'll go take a look."
The white ape led the way, and he followed behind, taking out an iron rod. This iron rod was obtained from Ren Ping on the first underground level. Spiritual energy could be channeled into it.
Now that his cultivation was higher, as spiritual energy surged into the iron rod, it immediately activated about thirty percent of its meridians. Instantly, threads of lightning emanated from the surface of the iron rod, subtly condensing into runes, appearing very mystical.
Seeing the iron rod, the white ape instinctively moved away from Ye Tian, its eyes filled with fear.
Ye Tian withdrew his spiritual energy and twirled the iron rod in his hand.
After walking for a while, a giant mulberry tree appeared ahead. Dozens of strings of red mulberries hung from the tree, and their sweet fragrance could be smelled from a distance.
Ye Tian's eyes lit up, and he said, "So the red fruit is actually mulberries."
As he spoke, a giant wild boar charged out from the side. This wild boar was over 1.2 meters at the shoulder and more than 4 meters long, a truly massive creature.
It let out a low growl, its blue eyes fixed on Ye Tian, threatening him to leave immediately.
Ye Tian waved the iron rod in his hand and asked the white ape, "Is this what injured the red fox?"
The white ape nodded slightly, lowered its body, and prepared to receive the wild boar's attack.
Ye Tian said, "Hey, big wild boar, you injured my fox friend, and I've come to seek justice for it."
Seeing that Ye Tian wasn't leaving, the wild boar roared and charged forward angrily. Its tusks were a meter long, possessing astonishing destructive power.
Ye Tian stood still. As the wild boar approached, he struck it with the iron rod. With a "clang," one of the boar's tusks was broken, and lightning surged into its body.
The wild boar instantly stiffened, fell to the ground, its limbs twitching, and foamed at the mouth.
Ye Tian walked over and struck its vital point with the rod. With a crisp sound, the wild boar breathed its last.
He looked at the huge wild boar and remarked, "What a massive beast, truly a wild boar king."
The white ape, seeing Ye Tian kill the wild boar so easily, became even more awestruck of him.
Ye Tian paid no mind to this; his gaze fell upon the mulberries. He knew very well that this tree should be the legendary, revered tree. The fact that the tree bore mulberries indicated that its life was nearing its end, and it had channeled all its remaining vitality into the mulberries, causing these final mulberries to possess miraculous medicinal properties.
Seeing the mulberries on the tree, Ye Tian leaped lightly to the top of the tree, plucked a string of mulberries, and tasted them. They had a good flavor. He then experienced the medicinal effects of the mulberries, discovering that they contained seventeen types of medicinal properties, twelve of which were beneficial to the human body.
Just as he was preparing to harvest the mulberries, a voice came from not far away, very overbearing and arrogant.
"These mulberries are spoken for. You'd best stay away from them!"
