Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Nine Suns Resting on the Lower Branch

“Sis, did you hear any sound?”

Bai Yifan reached out a finger and timidly tugged at Bai Xiqin’s sleeve.

“No, I didn’t hear anything, maybe you misheard?”

Bai Xiqin replied calmly.

She had long heard the roar of the beast, and even if there were beasts, she still needed to make a trip under the Fusang Tree.

A Mutated Fusang Tree is hard to come by.

If it could be planted in the space, there wouldn’t be any worries about family getting injured in the future.

The Wood Ability can also heal, but who would complain about too many healing treasures?

Relying on the space, Bai Xiqin didn’t consider taking her family to risky places in the mountains too dangerous.

If people live too comfortably in the apocalypse, the days ahead will definitely be tough.

No one knows if tomorrow or an accident will come first; you can’t live comfortably just because the space exists.

If something were to happen to her, she hopes her family can continue to live freely and recklessly in the apocalypse.

“Roar—”

The beast’s angry roar was heard again.

The entire mountain became much quieter, even the chattering of the monkeys had disappeared without a trace.

“Why does this sound scarier than zombies?”

Bai Yifan rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, silently moving to the center of the team.

“Xiao Fan, it’s just a sound, be a man, when you grow up, you’ll have to face the scariest beasts alone!”

Bai Anhai, unfazed, didn’t touch the goosebumps on his arm, maintaining a composed demeanor.

Beasts are nothing, women are the scariest.

In his eyes, apart from his daughter who is a gentle and pure little girl, all other women are tigresses!

Anyway, he’s never seen any other woman being gentle and pure!

Bai Yifan pouted, not paying much heed to Bai Anhai’s words.

He understood what his dad meant.

And he agreed.

However, his future wife Xiao Ling is only three years old now.

At three you can see one’s future; it’s clear that his future wife will definitely be a gentle and good wife.

Unlike some people’s wives.

Bai Anhai looked at Bai Yifan’s indifferent expression and shook his head slightly.

Click!

Still too young!

Forget it, let him be!

The Bai Family being dominated by women is deeply rooted and can’t be changed for eternity.

He’s already under his wife’s rule, and as his son, that’s his fate too, inescapable!

“Click!”

Bai Zhengxuan silently listened to the father and son’s conversation, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.

He remembered more than twenty years ago, his conversation with Bai Anhai was quite similar.

Bai Anhai, in his youth, thought he couldn’t be dominated, yet ended up like him, drowning in the sea of happiness.

This is all fate!

Leng Yebai was indifferent to the Bai father’s and son’s conversation.

The Xiao Niu at his home is so gentle, even if she abused him, it would be happiness.

In fact, he even looked forward to it a bit.

Domestic violence, come on!

“Xiao Niu, look there!”

Leng Yebai was the first to notice a Mutated Mulberry Tree standing at the top of the mountain ahead.

The Mutated Mulberry Tree was particularly tall and its lush green branches reached the sky, mixing with the leaves of other surrounding species, dense and flourishing.

The Mutated Mulberry Tree exuded a rich vitality, seemingly inexhaustible, never wilting.

If it kept growing, it seemed it could truly connect to the Heavenly Realm, becoming the Heaven-Reaching Divine Tower of the earthly Heavenly Realm.

Some newborn monkeys were jumping around on the tree, with some naughty ones even breaking branches to swing in their hands.

A small branch for the big Mulberry Tree was like a drizzle; these canopy-covering dense branches were full of vitality.

Some adult monkeys surrounded the tree.

These monkeys were holding some bananas, peeling them and eating under the tree.

Occasionally, leaves that fell from the tree were caught and eaten by the adult monkeys.

“Why are there only little monkeys playing on the tree?”

Bai Yifan peeked from behind Bai Xiqin with a round head, curiously looking at the Fusang Tree once recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

“Be careful.”

Bai Xiqin cautiously observed the Fusang Tree.

The seemingly chaotic monkey group was actually quite orderly.

Adult monkeys were very eager for the mulberry leaves but didn’t climb up the Fusang Tree to frolic.

It seemed only the little monkeys had the privilege.

This was probably the monkey group’s leader’s kindness towards the weak little monkeys.

Staying longer with beneficial Mutated Plants, the green vitality on such plants indeed impacts both human and animal bodies positively.

They become stronger, and over time, it can improve their physical condition.

The Bai Family, knowing there might be fierce beasts near the Fusang Tree, still couldn’t take their eyes off the legendary Fusang Tree in front of them.

The Fusang Tree in front of them was somewhat different from what was recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

This was just a single Mutated Mulberry Tree, whereas the Fusang Tree recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas was two great mulberry trees growing together, supporting each other.

Nine suns rested on the lower branches, one on the upper branch.

This was the depiction of the Divine Bird in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, a scene where the Divine Bird rested on the Fusang Tree.

The bronze tree unearthed from Sanxingdui had a similar meaning to the Fusang Tree, except the Divine Bird on the highest branch had long been lost due to the ages.

In ancient times, there might have been such a Mutated Mulberry Tree, with leaves having perfect healing properties, and because it was tall and vibrant, it attracted the Divine Bird to rest.

Today, with energy tides fluctuating, humans acquiring various powers, animals and plants are also moving towards legend.

However, today’s mulberry tree is no longer the ancient Fusang Tree.

The Divine Bird is gone, there are only some newly born slightly immature monkeys playing on it.

If these monkeys can truly protect this Mutated Mulberry Tree, their future achievements will definitely surpass typical Mutant Animals.

Perhaps, many years later, a new cycle will begin again.

Humans of that time, missing ancient legends, will miss the ancient mulberry tree.

And the Fusang Tree in their legends will be the mulberry tree the Bai Family sees now, they will revere the magical monkeys frolicking on the tree.

Humans of this period, to the people of the next cycle, will be the mysterious era of ancient gods.

After the Bai Family appeared, the beast’s roar seemed to have disappeared.

Bai Xiqin and the others took another step forward.

The monkey group reacted.

“Chatter chatter!”

A group of monkeys blocked the young members of the Bai Family, baring their teeth and screaming fiercely.

Behind them was their Divine Tree, beneficial to their entire species.

If anyone tries to steal their Divine Tree, they’ll have to step over their bodies!

Bai Xiqin watched the angry group of monkeys, silently moving her fingers.

A pile of bananas suddenly appeared before the monkey group.

“What?”

The formerly angry faces of the monkey group suddenly softened significantly.

Though they continued calling towards Bai Xiqin and others, their claws couldn’t resist grabbing bananas furiously into their arms.

Afraid if they delayed, they wouldn’t get any.

Even the little monkeys that had been jumping up and down the mulberry tree later joined in to grab bananas.

The banana aroma spread far and wide, attracting more nearby monkeys to join the scramble.

When the banana mountain was nearly gone, Bai Xiqin provided another pile of bananas.

There’s nothing a pile of bananas can’t solve; if there is, add another pile!

“Roar――”

When all the monkeys had gotten bananas and started their second round of scrambling, the furious roar of the beast echoed again.

This sound came from beneath the lush mulberry leaves.

Upon hearing this sound, the monkeys swiftly took their bananas and ran without looking back.
