Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 89 - 76: The Ungrateful, Bully-Cowering Scummy Tree!

Chapter 89: Chapter 76: The Ungrateful, Bully-Cowering Scummy Tree!

They suddenly saw that the tree was trembling, growing! Right under their noses, it shivered and grew a size!

"Howl!"

"Howl!"

Black Shoes and Big Nose both glared, baring their teeth, filled with rage!

Did this ungrateful tree forget its own position?

It’s just a dish in the cafeteria, how can it affect the herb planting on Fox Mountain?

Who allowed it to grow so fast?

Black Shoes swung its front paw, "scratch, scratch, scratch", clawing the exposed roots to pieces!

Big Nose lowered itself, "crunch, crunch, crunch", biting the exposed roots to shreds!

They wanted this ungrateful tree to feel pain!

But when Black Shoes straightened its back, and Big Nose stood up, they were shocked to see the clawed and bitten roots, their broken wounds, were quickly drying, healing, growing, soon restored to their original state.

What?

Black Shoes and Big Nose both widened their fox eyes.

Crack...

With a dull sound, more thick roots broke through the ground, rising from beneath, astonishingly as thick as two fox waists!

Woosh...

The mountain wind blew, the giant Jade Food Tree, its trunk as steady as a Tie Ta, branches and leaves rustling. Trembling in the wind, it grew another size, sprouting unknown branches and leaves!

More than a dozen fox brothers had already rushed over, standing beside Black Shoes and Big Nose, in the melon patch, all looking up together at the distant giant tree.

Seeing it like a Tie Ta, casting a massive shadow, they even felt a bit of fear.

At this moment, the more dazed foxes were still staring...

While the smart ones were already "whoosh whoosh whoosh" retreating, running towards the mountain, heading for the Bronze Hall.

The eternal principle of Fox Mountain... when in doubt, find the master!

...

A sedan chair stopped under the giant Jade Food Tree, within its shadow.

Bai Mo stood up, stepping forward to touch the rough tree trunk.

"Has this thing mutated?"

Dozens of fox disciples stood behind the master. Some holding shovels, some holding axes, some holding big knives, some holding medicinal soup, all glaring fiercely, just waiting for the master’s order to rush forward to punish this ungrateful tree!

Yet Bai Mo waved his hand, signaling the disciples to stay calm.

"Don’t be impulsive, we still need it to eat the Jade Food."

The disciples bared their teeth, their fluffy chubby cheeks showing the foxes’ fierceness!

They raised the shovels, axes, and big knives in their front paws!

"Howl howl howl!"

"Howl howl howl!"

"Howl howl howl!"

Forget it, the Jade Food isn’t important!

We must punish this tree that’s ruining the herb fields!

We must punish this ungrateful tree!

Bai Mo waved his hand again for the disciples to calm down and continue observing the tree.

His hand touched the giant trunk, feeling the rough bark, sensing its pulsation, feeling its incredibly fast growth!

Divine Sense spread out, exploring inside the tree, sensing the phloem inside the trunk, crazily transporting nutrients, sending the nutrients drawn from the Earth to the entire tree!

The Jade Food Tree recorded in literature already had fast growth. But not this fast!

This one indeed mutated.

The mutation direction is growth speed! It suddenly gained an unparalleled growth speed!

"This tree cannot be destroyed.

"On the contrary, we must protect it well.

"This... might be a treasure!"

The fox disciples looked bewildered.

This giant thing isn’t fruiting, it’s destroying other herb fields, can it be a treasure?

They were a bit doubtful.

Yet nodded instinctively.

After all... what the master says, is always right.

"But it can’t continue to siphon off nutrients from other herb fields.

"Let me think of a way to curb its growth first."

Bai Mo was seen standing at the base of the giant tree, stepping on a raised root, his hand against the rough bark.

Compared to the giant tree, his figure was small.

He extended a finger, thrusting like lightning, "crack" piercing a hole in the bark!

Without waiting for the hole to heal, he leaned forward, put his mouth to the hole, and puffed out his cheeks, blowing air.

Whoosh——

What came out of his mouth and poured into the hole wasn’t air, but a fiery red — Pill Fire!

Endlessly, the Pill Fire was blown into the hole, and controlled by Bai Mo’s Divine Sense. It penetrated all the way deep into the tree, into the core, flooding into the sieve pipes... flowing down to the roots, burning some roots to ashes, flowing up to the canopy, turning parts of the branches into dead wood!

Just moments ago, the giant tree was still growing wildly, but in an instant, the Pill Fire poured from the sky-high canopy down to the deep roots underground, beginning to make "snap, crackle, pop" sounds, starting to sway, starting to smoke, starting to emit a charred smell.

Dozens of fox disciples beamed with smiles as they yelped "awoo awoo," starting to dance in circles!

The ungrateful tree was punished by their master, and they were thrilled!

They spun around, waved their front paws, and flicked their tails!

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

"Awoo awoo awoo!"

Suddenly, they noticed the fluttering ash falling from above.

And large branches were smoking, crashing down.

They stopped dancing and instead grabbed spades, running to their master’s side, cautiously guarding against falling branches to prevent him from being hit.

They looked up and suddenly smelled a sweet fragrance drifting down from above.

"Awoo awoo awoo?"

"Squeak squeak squeak?"

Big Nose saw it first!

He pointed to the high branches overhead, a fresh, pale yellow fruit had just emerged, shaped like corn, it was being roasted by the Pill Fire, billowing white smoke and fragrance.

He looked at Black Shoes, using fox language to inquire.

But Black Shoes had a dark expression on his face, even more frustrated!

These fruits had just grown!

He had tended to this tree for so many days, and all it had ever produced were branches and leaves, hadn’t even glimpsed the hair of a fruit.

Now their master used Pill Fire to burn the tree, and it instantly bore fruit.

It truly is an ungrateful, deceptive tree, afraid of power!

The foxes looked up again and discovered on the higher branches, buds were sprouting, quickly blossoming, spilling out fruits!

And not only that, soon a second, third, fourth fruit... appeared!

Black Shoes furrowed his brows, increasingly convinced this was a tree that feared power!

White Toe and a few fellow apprentices ran outside the shade, ran to the distance, only to see the whole enormous tree at this time emitting faint green smoke, being swept away by the gusts.

More and more leaves were either falling off or burned into ash.

More and more pale yellow fruits grew and were roasted, emitting a fragrant aroma!

Suddenly, they saw the sharp, high tip of the tree burst into flames! It was the fiery red Pill Fire, burning the treetop, burning the leaves, blazing fiercely, like turning the giant tree into a candle, a torch, as if placing a red hat on this giant tree!

Below the tree, Bai Mo had already stepped away from the trunk, ceased the output of Pill Fire.

"Just right."

The burst of Pill Fire atop the tree would burn forever!

The energy consumed by the Pill Fire was no more than a drop in the ocean to the tree and didn’t matter.

The critical point is this burst of Pill Fire would temporarily seal the tree’s "super-fast growth" trait, maintaining its present size, unable to continue growing.

Bai Mo looked at the dozens of fox disciples and helped Black Shoes brush the ash off his head.

"The tree’s problem is all solved.

"In the future, catch bugs when needed, do what needs to be done.

"Go and shovel off those wildly sprouting roots; don’t let the tree affect the other medicine fields.

"Also, the Jade Food growing on the tree is cooked, saving further roasting. Go and pick them down, send them to the cafeteria. We’ll eat together."

Dozens of fox disciples looked at each other.

Should they eat?

Should they eat the ungrateful, deceptive fruit from the fearful tree?

No!

The foxes despised this tree! Wouldn’t eat its fruit!

But...

The aroma in the air, fragrant, sweet, with a hint of burnt aftertaste...

Black Shoes furrowed his brow, swallowed a gulp.

"Awoo awoo awoo! Squeak squeak squeak!"

A group of foxes spoke in fox language.

"Squeak squeak squeak! Awoo awoo awoo!"

After a round of fox language, dozens of foxes used all four paws, "whoosh whoosh whoosh," scrambled up the tree to grab the Jade Food!

They had just reached a consensus that eating the fruits of this tree was a form of punishment for the tree!

In the future, they would continually punish this deceitful tree, they wouldn’t leave a single fruit behind, they would eat them all!
