Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 293 - 99: Impostor Tree King! Tricking the High God! Crystal Beast City! The Altar at Last!
Xu Ran laughed to death.
Alright, they believed it, they believed it!
In their current state of mind, there’s no way they can report it; by the time the divine-level monsters realize, Xu Ran would have already switched locations.
He would never stay in the same area for too long.
With over ten thousand trees, chopping a thousand would yield 50 drops of Venerable Golden Blood, with two thousand trees yielding 100 drops; he’s playing guerrilla warfare!
So Xu Ran weaves through the forest, shooting once and then changing places.
[Devouring and obtaining Venerable Golden Blood...]
[Devouring and obtaining Venerable Golden Blood...]
After maneuvering for thirty days.
The Venerable Golden Blood reached 25 drops (gaining 20 drops from devouring Wood Hearts, five drops per month per million Qi Blood Value...)
"So difficult..."
Cultivation is not easy, Xu Ran sighed.
A month of running around, even with his cultivation speed, only amounted to 300,000 Qi Blood Value.
His current Qi Blood Value is 1.4 million.
He still needs to strive for two months!
Xu Ran exhaled a breath.
Suddenly, a crisis surged in his heart!
Without hesitation, he transformed into an arrow and shot up to the clouds, then turned and flew far away.
He saw it.
The divine-level creature attacking him was a terrifying worm monster with eight blood-red eyes, a massive circular maw with a diameter of 200 meters, leaping from the ground, instantly creating a bottomless pit with a diameter of 200 meters in the ground!
The fake Tree King was swallowed in one bite, losing connection instantly.
Xu Ran held his breath, escaping madly.
"Luckily, every time this guy appears, it causes a massive commotion. In such turmoil, even if I make a clone, it’s hard for him to discern."
In the last crisis.
Xu Ran learned a lot of experience.
The first lesson was that during the transition from stillness to rapid movement, he mimicked the whistling of a stone in the wind. This way, he became one among countless stones, greatly reducing the chance of being detected.
Sure enough.
The worm missed its target.
It stood in the clouds howling.
The terrifying sound waves shattered the clouds gathered by pollution, rippling outward from the worm as the center, spreading in all directions.
"Thief! Come out! This god must tear you to pieces!"
Xu Ran sneered, "Come out? Not a chance. Don’t get cocky yet, when I become strong enough, I’ll definitely punch you to pieces."
Xu Ran didn’t look back, disappearing without a trace.
At the center of the battlefield.
The Tree King emerged.
"Upper God, this thief is too despicable!"
"It disguised itself as me, wantonly stealing Wood Hearts in the forest! It has already stolen 600 Wood Hearts!"
"This is simply slapping you in the face!"
Death Worm: "Its stealth tactics are extraordinarily deceptive, even fooling me... If it hides while stealing Wood Hearts, we simply cannot find it."
The Death Worm was furious, but it was at a loss.
It had devised a sophisticated plan for half a day, but Xu Ran didn’t fall for it at all.
This guerrilla warfare tactic, even though it is an Upper God, could not suppress it.
After all... the Tree King, wanting to contact its own trees, has a maximum range of only 300 kilometers. Beyond 300 kilometers, it cannot know immediately.
While it... can perceive ground vibrations within 10 kilometers, with very precise perception, even sensing a spider’s movement, but the range is insufficient.
"We don’t know how it will strike next, where it will appear next time?"
Tree King: "Upper God, why not invite a few assistants to hunt this thief together?"
Death Worm sneered, "I’ve already sent my underlings to invite them; they’ll be here in thirty days."
...
On the other side.
Xu Ran flew for over an hour before stopping.
"Did they really find me so quickly? I thought it would take two months."
He was very surprised.
Presumably, the Death Worm tirelessly traversed the forest, searching every part of it.
Although he used guerrilla tactics, in actuality, he had always been located at the edge of the forest.
A month’s time coincided perfectly.
"This time, the attack speed was obviously faster than the last time, directly devouring paper objects. However, I had reserved a distance of 300 meters early on, making the escape much easier."
Xu Ran shook his head with a smile, what is this called?
This is called familiarity through practice.
Whether in terms of caution or escape response capabilities, there had been significant progress.
Escaping from the hands of a divine-level creature with 30 million Qi Blood Value!
Thrilling!
"Let’s change places, return to the initial position. Stay and hassle them for another month."
Xu Ran acted contrary to the usual path, taking ten days to return to his original logging spot, brazenly stealing Wood Hearts.
Because his Qi Blood Value had surged to 1.4 million, his speed had greatly increased.
The efficiency of his logging was greatly enhanced, and in just thirty days, he devoured Wood Hearts, obtaining 30 drops of Venerable Golden Blood, plus 5 drops of Venerable Golden Blood produced by himself.
All were absorbed into his heart.
His Qi Blood Value soared to 1.8 million.
"It’s too difficult, traveling every day."
To be honest.
Constant traveling is very exhausting, especially since Xu Ran has spent 170 full days in a first-level contaminated area.
Fortunately, he had the Purified Spirit Body, which could cleanse all negative emotions while he slept each day.
Otherwise... he would be in great danger.
According to the records of the Godslaying Squad, no matter what combat power one has, even with a Purification Root Bone, entering a contaminated area causes the increase of murderous intent and brutality in the heart.
After one month, their temper would become irritable.
After three months, they would be consumed by thoughts of slaughter.
Therefore, typically, the Godslaying Squad must return within 45 days, not lingering in the safety zone.
With Xu Ran’s [Little Purification Treasure Talisman], they could stay longer, but only for an additional fifteen days.
