Chapter 347: Chapter 347: Surrounded

Slurp slurp…

The fluffy body of Zhu Yan moved slightly, seemingly enjoying the food, squinting in contentment.

Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai took two steps toward the Fusang Tree, placing their fingers on its tall, majestic trunk.

Slurp slurp…

Zhu Yan continued eating bananas, savoring them sweetly, and glanced at Bai Xiqin’s fingers with half-closed eyes, smacking its lips.

Touch it as you wish!

Bai Xiqin glanced at Zhu Yan, knowing it was allowing her to touch the Fusang Tree.

So, Bai Xiqin silently drew out a dagger.

The sharp dagger pressed against the base.

She intended to cut off a bit of the root to plant in her space, so she could have a Fusang Tree there in the future!

“Roar―”

Just as Bai Xiqin was about to make a move, Zhu Yan couldn’t help it and bared its teeth at Bai Xiqin, growling twice.

There was a strong warning tone in its voice.

Humans, don’t go too far!

Touching is fine, but what’s the idea behind cutting a piece off!

Bai Xiqin’s fingers paused. Zhu Yan looked stupid and ugly in a cute way, but as soon as it got angry, Bai Xiqin felt an overpowering pressure.

It was as if it came from an ancient beast, and just a hint of its aura made Bai Xiqin feel a twinge of awe.

Bai Xiqin silently put the dagger down and gently tapped her slender, fair fingers on Zhu Yan.

A heap of bananas appeared out of thin air in front of Zhu Yan, almost burying it in the banana pile.

Visibly, Zhu Yan’s momentum dropped significantly.

“I just want a little bit of the root; it won’t affect the growth of the Divine Tree.”

Regardless of whether Zhu Yan could understand her words, Bai Xiqin still explained to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan warily eyed the knife in Bai Xiqin’s hand, but its eyes couldn’t help glancing at the fragrant bananas around.

It gulped with difficulty.

“Roar!”

Zhu Yan roared angrily, using great restraint, and pushed the heap of bananas with its fiery red paws.

Deal failed!

The bananas were tasty, but the Divine Tree was unique.

Bai Xiqin raised her eyebrows.

Zhu Yan might look fierce, but its eyes still involuntarily focused on the heap of bananas.

Good, it seems negotiation is still possible.

Bai Xiqin’s fingers moved again.

A deluge of bananas reappeared in front of Zhu Yan, piling up from the ground to the branch where Zhu Yan was sitting.

Zhu Yan’s chubby, fluffy body swayed and almost lost its balance, nearly falling from the tree.

Its ferocious eyes sparkled.

At this moment, it had forgotten about the Divine Tree, with only bananas in its sight.

It had just tasted bananas, which were rich in vitality and a bit more palatable compared to the Divine Tree.

Looking at the banana mountain, Zhu Yan suddenly made a decision, staring solemnly at Bai Xiqin.

Human, I’m sticking to you from now on!

Zhu Yan grasped several bananas with its chubby, furry paws and turned its back, refusing to look at Bai Xiqin.

The slurping sound resumed.

This time, it didn’t even glance at the knife in Bai Xiqin’s hand.

Human, do whatever you want!

If the Divine Tree is gone, I’ll bring my monkey troop and eat you dry!

Seeing Zhu Yan ignoring her, Bai Xiqin quickly dug a hole at the root with the dagger.

Exposing the vibrant root.

The roots twisted and curled, extending far and deep into the soil.

The sharp dagger cut through the root, revealing sap glowing with a faint green light.

A wrist-thick piece of root was sent into the space by Bai Xiqin, planted beside the small river formed where the Spiritual Spring Water flowed out.

As soon as it was planted, Bai Xiqin could feel a strong vitality taking root and sprouting in space.

Bai Xiqin’s lips tilted upwards uncontrollably.

This lifetime truly made up for all her past regrets.

She was determined to live recklessly and fearlessly with her family in the apocalypse!

Bai Xiqin stroked the cut root position with her fingers, letting the transparent water from her hand wash over the Fusang Tree’s root.

Then she refilled the hole she had just dug.

The Divine Tree still emitted a dense vitality, and the isolated part of the root, especially with the newly obtained Spiritual Spring, had benefits far greater than drawbacks.

Zhu Yan, while smacking its lips, secretly peeked at Bai Xiqin’s fingers.

Seeing Bai Xiqin refill the soil, it breathed a slight sigh of relief and ate more boldly.

“Let’s go!”

Bai Xiqin looked at Leng Yebai and walked outside with him.

Their goal was the Fusang Tree, whether it was the root or the entire Fusang Tree, it was the same for Bai Xiqin.

Once planted in the space, it would ultimately grow into a towering Fusang Tree in a short time.

Leng Yebai nodded slightly, following a step behind Bai Xiqin to protect her rear.

Zhu Yan hesitated slightly when seeing Bai Xiqin leaving, twitching its fluffy nose twice.

Firmly remembered Bai Xiqin’s scent.

Having obtained the root of the Fusang Tree, the Bai Family said nothing more. The overwhelming aura Zhu Yan exuded earlier made it unwise to engage in a fight.

To get away with such a bribe was already the best outcome.

The sun began to set, and the Bai Family took another look at the lush Fusang Tree before them.

Nature was truly magical, nurturing mysteries that humans could never entirely comprehend.

After a moment of reflection, the Bai Family began turning to head down the mountain.

“Howl ――”

Just as the Bai Family turned, the howls of a nearby wolf pack echoed.

The wolves’ growls drew closer, and in less than a minute, they surrounded the area around the Fusang Tree.

This wolf pack was much fiercer than ordinary mutant wolf packs, with the leading Wolf King already reaching Fourth Rank superpower level.

Even the weakest wolves under its command were at Third Rank superpower level.

With a bite, it could snap several Bai Yifan necks.

At a glance, gray and white wolves with glowing green eyes stared fixedly in the direction of the Fusang Tree, ready to attack any moment.

The Bai Family had to retreat back under the Fusang Tree for the time being.

The wolves gradually tightened their encirclement, enclosing the entire monkey troop and the Bai Family.

The monkey troop seemed unaware of what was happening, standing dumbfounded while clutching their banana stacks.

Slurp slurp ――

The monkeys and Zhu Yan were peeling bananas, savoring the soft and sweet taste.

Despite the imminent threat from the wolves, they felt no fear.

The wolves edged closer, with the monkeys on the outer edges quietly shifting inward, not forgetting to bring their bananas along.

Orderly and unhurried, they calmly moved inward by two steps.

If they could win, they would fight.

If not, the leader would step in.

The Wolf King’s green eyes lingered on the Bai Family for a moment, finally resting on the Fusang Tree.

It was an animal’s instinct to claim territory.

The existence of the Fusang Tree stirred all the animals on the mountain, desiring to claim this territory as their own.

But to obtain the Fusang Tree, the monkey troop must be defeated.

The monkey troop’s strength was not to be underestimated; only the powerful wolf pack could hold its own against them.

The Wolf King led the pack, advancing step by step toward the Fusang Tree.

“Oh no, we’ve stumbled into their turf war!”

Bai Yifan was covered in a faint yellow glow, silently placing his hand on Bai Xiqin’s shoulder.

Passing a layer of faint yellow glow to Bai Xiqin as well.

This was instinct.

Bai Xiqin glanced at the trembling, frightened Bai Yifan, her lips slightly curving and eyes softening.
