My New Life As A Plant In A Cultivation World - Chapter 9

 

“Breath”

The white deer ran quickly in the sky.

The strong wind blew against Zhou Ye’s face. He felt that his head was going to fall off because of the wind.

His leaves were dancing furiously in the wind too.

Zhou Ye bore with the strong wind blowing against his body and looked down.

He could only see the faint outlines of the trees that he felt were as tall as mountains. He couldn’t see them clearly.

It was hard for Zhou Ye to estimate how high he was.

“My real form is a plant so I don’t weigh much. If I drop from the sky, I won’t fall to my death, right?” Zhou Ye felt a little uncertain.

But this was just a thought in his mind. He didn’t want to give it a try.

Life was hard. He needed to love his puny life.

The white deer suddenly stopped. It stepped on a ball of colorful clouds and scanned below it.

What was it trying to do?

Zhou Ye really wanted to ask it.

The white deer tilted its head and thought for a moment. In the end, it continued biting Zhou Ye and flew towards the ground.

The white deer moved really quickly. It turned into a flash of white light before landing on the ground.

This time, Zhou Ye was safe. He didn’t feel the strong wind slapping on his face.

“Slap.”

The white deer landed on the ground gently and opened its mouth. It spat Zhou Ye out as though it was spitting its saliva

Zhou Ye was caught off his guard. He flew out and slammed to the ground.

Since he didn’t weigh much and his physical state was not low, he didn’t feel much pain.

“Grunt!”

The white deer grunted and started to run loose like a child that broke free from his reins.

It ran below a tree and sniffed the bark. Then, it lowered its head and ran around everywhere. It started messing those wild plants.

Zhou Ye pushed his body up and forced himself to stand up.

He observed his surroundings.

This was a forest. Every single tree was huge, and the withered leaves on the ground were as tall as him.

Compared to these huge trees, the old tree at the edge of the cliff was just a little tree sprout.

“Is this a primeval forest?” Zhou Ye felt uncertain.

He walked closer to a tree and observed it carefully.

He realized that the cracks on the trunks of these towering trees were wider than the width of his leaves.

It was uncomfortable to be so small sometimes.

Based on his estimation, this huge tree was at least a hundred meters tall.

This was astonishing.

But, to Zhou Ye, he felt that it was normal.

It was because the Qi in the forest was thick. This thick Qi nourished these huge trees.

There was another reason. The trees here didn’t get chopped or cut down so the trees were quite well-protected.

Zhou Ye shook his head. He didn’t want to think about these matters.

Zhou Ye didn’t hear any movements from the white deer for a while. He turned his head and searched for the white deer.

“It has only been a while. Where did that fellow run to?” Zhou Ye felt helpless.

Only a minute had passed but the white deer had disappeared.

‘Could it be that it was worried that I would report it because I saw it eating the spirit herbs? Is this why it brought me here to let me survive on my own?’ Zhou Ye wondered to himself.

‘No, based on the white deer’s character, it won’t do such a thing.’

The moment this thought came into his mind, Zhou Ye heard the grunt of a deer from far away.

Without thinking, he lifted his roots and rushed towards the direction where the grunt came from.

Far away.

The white deer felt a little awkward. It was too engrossed in excitement so it forgot that it had a partner.

Now, it was lost and it couldn’t find its partner.

The white deer shuddered when it remembered the man’s order.

“Swish, swish, swish”

A sound was heard. The white deer looked in the direction.

The deer smiled.

It was Zhou Ye running towards him.

“Grunt.” The white deer grunted at Zhou Ye. Then, it turned its head and slowly walked forward.

It took two steps and then turned back to look at Zhou Ye, signaling Zhou Ye to follow it.

“Where are we going?” Zhou Ye felt a little lost.

However, he continued to follow the white deer obediently.

Although they were temporarily safe, Zhou Ye would not be so naive as to think that this primitive forest was really safe.

Now, as a wild plant, he didn’t feel any sense of security at all.

 

The white deer looked like a woman going shopping. It looked here and there as though it didn’t know what the word ‘tired’ meant.

Zhou Ye followed behind the white deer. There was already some mud on his body.

Since they landed here, the white deer had never stopped.

Hence, Zhou Ye had never stopped walking either.

At first, it was still alright. The white deer wasn’t walking very quickly so Zhou Ye was able to catch up with it by jogging.

But now, the white deer started walking faster and faster. Occasionally, it would move a few meters in one leap.

It was hard for Zhou Ye to catch up with it.

After all, he had limited Xuan Qi in his dantian, and his Xuan Qi was almost depleted now.

“Brother, can you slow down?” Zhou Ye panted heavily. He felt that his legs didn’t belong to him.

The white deer turned and glanced at Zhou Ye, as though it heard his thoughts.

They only walked for ten miles but the wild plant couldn’t handle it already. Were plant spirits all so weak?

If Zhou Ye knew what the white deer was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes.

Ten miles was nothing to you but I am just a wild plant.

Ten miles was too tiring for a wild plant.

Even if he had a cultivation state, he couldn’t handle it.

The white deer continued staring at Zhou Ye.

At this moment, Zhou Ye’s roots were trembling. He placed his two leaves on his roots and pushed his body up.

He looked like a normal human who exerted too much of his energy while exercising. He placed his hands on his knees and panted furiously.

“Tap, tap, tap”

The white deer walked towards Zhou Ye and lowered its head.

Zhou Ye was stunned. He was a little confused.

Then, he realized what he was doing.

The white deer was using its antler to pick him up. He was now hanging on the antler.

“What the shit! Brother, when did you become so thoughtful?”

The moment he finished his exclamation, he felt his body sliding down. Zhou Ye panicked. He didn’t want to continue running.

He exerted force on his leaves and roots at the same time to hug the antlers tightly.

After Zhou Ye stabilized himself, the white deer ran forward quickly.

Zhou Ye felt the white deer’s movement and hugged it tighter. He was afraid that he would be thrown out.

He pasted his face against the antlers and observed the white deer’s antler from a close distance.

The white deer’s anther was shiny and white. When he observed it carefully, he realized that there were many thin and small patterns on the antlers.

These patterns were so thin that he wouldn’t be able to see them if he was slightly further away.

Besides these patterns, the antlers gave off a faint smell too.

“Sniff”

“Antlers have a small?” Zhou Ye was amazed.

“Screech!”

Suddenly, a shrill screech was heard from the sky.

Zhou Ye lifted his head. His eyeballs almost popped out.

This was a huge bird that was covered with gold feathers. Its feather shone brightly under the sunlight.

It spread its wings. It was more than a hundred meters in length. Its sharp claws gave off the cold light of a blade. It looked like an animal you shouldn’t provoke.

To a normal person, it was already a huge animal.

But in Zhou Ye’s eyes, it was larger.

“Screech!”

The golden-feathered bird saw the white deer that was running furiously and got interested in it immediately.

Suddenly, it thought of a perfect excuse. An additional meal.

It flapped its wings and dived at the white deer.

“Brother deer, let’s quickly run away!”

Zhou Ye lifted its leaves and patted the deer’s head. He kept shouting in his mind.

The white deer ignored Zhou Ye and continued running.

“Why is it so confident?” Zhou Ye sighed.

He knew that the white deer was very powerful. It should be a powerful cultivator, oh wait, the white deer was a demon. It should be called a powerful demon.

But, based on its size, it was still some distance away from the golden-feathered bird.

Just looking at their appearance, the white deer would definitely lose.

“Brother deer, shall we pick up speed?” The golden-feathered bird got nearer and nearer. Zhou Ye looked at the white deer that was slowing down and felt his heart pounding furiously uncontrollably.

The white deer finally stopped and turned back.

It looked at the golden feather bird that was diving towards it.

The two animals exchanged glances with each other. There was viciousness in the golden-feathered bird’s eyes.

On the other hand, the white deer was very calm.

It wasn’t flustered at all.

It just made a sound.

“Grunt?”

Its voice was filled with contempt.

Zhou Ye hugged the antler tightly. When he noticed that the white deer was very calm, he became composed too.

The white deer wasn’t a stupid deer that had no intelligence.

Since it remained so indifferent, it must have a way to tackle the bird. He didn’t have to worry for no reason.

After straightening out his thoughts, Zhou Ye was already prepared for a huge battle.

But the moment he finished his mental preparation, something strange happened.

“Why is it so timid”
