My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 10
“Cry!”
After hearing the deer’s grunt, the golden-feathered bird that was charging at them suddenly started flapping its wings furiously. In the air, it was losing its balance and before long, its body slammed on the ground directly.
The powerful inertia caused it to skid through the soil for a few more meters, forming a long brown line on the ground.
“What kind of play is this?” Zhou Ye’s gaze was filled with confusion.
At first, he was prepared to watch an intense, bloody fight between the white deer and the golden-feathered bird.
However, before they could even touch each other, the golden-feathered bird gave up.
“Coo”
The golden-feathered bird raised its head from the soil and shook its body.
The soil that was stuck on its golden feathers got shook off from its body. However, it still looked very haggard.
“Coo.” The golden-feathered bird stood up and squatted obediently at the side. It lowered its head and looked at the white deer with doe eyes.
Its initial ruthless gaze was extremely meek now.
Zhou Ye couldn’t understand what was happening.
On the other hand, the white deer remained composed, looking as if this wasn’t the first time it experienced something like this.
It lifted its legs and walked forward slowly.
The distance between the two animals got closer. Zhou Ye observed the golden-feathered bird.
A breeze was felt in the air.
The golden feathers on the bird didn’t move along with the wind at all. They looked like they were made of steel.
Additionally, the feathers on its tail looked a lot sharper. From the side, it looked like an unsheathed blade.
It looked like a truly extraordinary being.
The white deer clopped nearer to the bird.
The golden-feathered bird lowered its head further in submission. At this moment, it no longer had any thoughts of satiating his hunger.
It felt that as long as it wasn’t eaten now, it would have a meal another time.
The white deer looked down at the golden-feathered bird.
The golden-feathered bird didn’t dare to look at the white deer in the eye. It kept its eyes on the ground.
Zhou Ye noticed that the golden-feathered bird was trembling slightly. It seemed to be frightened of the white deer.
“Is Brother Deer so scary?” Zhou Ye wondered to himself.
This huge demon bird was actually afraid of a white deer that was a hundred times smaller than it.
Based on this, it could be inferred that the white deer’s cultivation must be very high. At least, it had a higher cultivation base than the golden-feathered bird.
Zhou Ye made the decision that he must keep a good relationship with this powerful demon.
The white deer raised its hooves and kicked the golden-feathered bird’s head.
“Boom!”
A blunt sound was heard. Zhou Ye felt his head hurting just looking at it.
The golden-feathered bird immediately felt dizzy. It felt like it was going to faint any second now.
It shook its head instinctively, in an attempt to maintain its consciousness.
The white deer glared at the bird. It thought that the golden-feathered bird was being stubborn so it kicked the bird again.
“Boom!”
A blunt sound was heard once again.
The golden-feathered bird rolled its eyes and fainted directly. Its huge body fell slowly to the ground.
The white deer’s gaze was filled with disdain. After deciding it had established dominance, it raised its head and clopped away.
About the golden-feathered bird, the white deer felt that it was useless. It couldn’t even withstand two kicks from it.
“Is it so weak?” Zhou Ye was in disbelief.
At this time, he had gained a better understanding of the white deer’s ability.
In the afternoon.
The white deer brought Zhou Ye to tour around the forest.
Zhou Ye felt that his perspective of the world had widened.
In the forest, there was a huge and bulky orangutan, a hundred meters in height. When Zhou Ye saw it, it was bathing in the river.
This was a particular orangutan, as it cared about its hygiene.
Besides this, there was a large python that was using its entire body to slam against a mountain.
It was close to 200 meters in length and its body was extremely thick. It was covered with black scales. Under the sunlight, the scales didn’t reflect any light at all.
When Zhou Ye saw it, half of its body was already covered in fresh blood.
Zhou Ye felt that the giant python must be an idiot. It had no grudges with the mountain, but why did it keep banging itself on the mountain?
After leaving the giant python alone, Zhou Ye had a sudden thought.
The giant python might be using this method to molt its skin.
Zhou Ye recalled what he saw in the early half of the day. He had seen about five or six of these giant-sized demons.
Every single time he saw them, he would think that an earth-shattering battle was about to occur.
In the end, he was always flabbergasted.
These demons that looked so frighteningly ferocious actually didn’t dare to lay their hands on the white deer. In front of the white deer, they even appeared very obedient.
The more Zhou Ye thought about this, the more he felt that he was extremely smart.
Look at how amazing this powerful demon was.
The white deer carried Zhou Ye and ran for another ten miles.
It ran to the peak of a small mountain. Zhou Ye hugged the antler and looked far away.
In front of him, there was a piece of flat land. With his current vision, he wasn’t able to see any mountains.
This meant that the road ahead should be easier to walk.
The white deer moved.
It jumped down the peak directly. Then, it stepped on the crowns of the huge trees and started running in the air.
It moved at a very fast pace. If Zhou Ye didn’t hug it tightly, there was a chance that he would get flung off.
In mid-air, Zhou Ye was able to observe his surroundings carefully.
He looked in front of him.
Soon, there was an endless green sea in front of him. Numerous trees swayed in the wind. You could hear the leaves rustling.
Most of these tall trees were of the same height. There were only a few trees that were slightly shorter and smaller.
Thus, when it looked at the forest from afar, it looked quite flat.
There were no peaks far ahead. All Zhou Ye could see was the green sea connecting with the blue sky.
But as the white deer continued flying forward, Zhou Ye saw what was over at the horizon.
The outline of an exceptionally huge ancient tree appeared on the horizon.
“What tree is this?” Zhou Ye opened his eyes wide. He didn’t dare to believe what he saw.
The distance between the tree and them kept shortening. Soon, the tree became clearer.
The green leaves on the crown of the ancient tree seemed only three centimeters away from the sky.
The branches of the tree were so thick that it was hard to describe them with words. Dried cracks covered the branches. Two rough and sturdy branches stretched out from the two sides of the tree.
Zhou Ye looked at it carefully.
The two branches were like the widespread arms of the huge tree.
The cracks on the trunk of the tree formed a faint outline of a face.
“Little deer is here”
An old voice came from far away.
Zhou Ye looked in front of him in concentration. The sound came from the direction of the huge ancient tree.
“Grunt!”
The white deer grunted excitedly. It hastened its running pace.
As it got nearer, Zhou Ye’s astonishment grew greater and greater.
This ancient tree was too big.
It was indescribable.
“Haha you little fellow. You haven’t visited me for a few thousand years.” The ancient tree shook its crown, and the blurred human face on the trunk slowly became clearer.
This tree had become a demon!
Zhou Ye wasn’t surprised.
He was a plant spirit too.
As the ancient tree spoke, the white deer had already arrived in front of it.
It looked up and grunted at the ancient tree a few times.
“I’m not blaming you.” The ancient tree laughed heartily.
Zhou Ye felt a few gazes landing on him. He raised his head and felt goosebumps appearing on his head.
Some birds and herbivores were standing on the tree branch nearest to them.
The tree branch was so densely populated with these animals. It looked a little frightening.
The white deer was chatting with the ancient tree.
Zhou Ye didn’t understand what the white deer was saying.
However, the ancient tree was speaking in human language.
“I lived a good life for the past few thousand years. Many small creatures came to visit me”
“Hahahaha, I didn’t expect so many interesting things to happen in the outside world. Unfortunately, I can’t leave this place. If not, I must definitely take a tour outside.”
“Oh right, what is that little fellow on your head.”
Zhou Ye immediately regained his senses when he heard the tree mentioning him.
“Grunt”
The white deer make some noises.
Zhou Ye didn’t know how the white deer introduced him.
“Oh? The moment it sprouted, it gained intellect this little fellow is quite interesting.” The ancient tree immediately smiled when he heard the white deer’s grunt.
“Little fellow, what is your name?” The ancient tree lowered its head slightly and looked at Zhou Ye.
The instant it lowered its crown, Zhou Ye felt that it had blocked the sun.
Zhou Ye shook its body when it noticed the ancient tree’s gaze.
“You can’t hear me even if I speak.” Zhou Ye complained in his heart.
“Little fellow, I can hear you.” The ancient tree smiled. The huge face looked amiable.
“Grandpa Tree, are you powerful?” Zhou Ye was stunned.
“Just ordinary,” the ancient tree replied.
“Little fellow, you haven’t told me what your name is,” the ancient tree continued asking.
Zhou Ye took a deep breath of carbon dioxide and released his leaves and roots that were hugging the antler. He landed on the ground directly and cupped his hands as he bowed towards the ancient tree.
“Senior, nice to meet you. I’m just a plant spirit. My name is Zhou Ye.”
