The jagged stones, like battle armor draped over the Mud Stone Bull, made for a very peculiar scene.

"Moo!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Mud Stone Bull glared with its gigantic eyes, its four hooves pounding the ground heavily, charging forward with a roar.

Its momentum was strong, and its presence was grand!

It was just a bit slow, making it look somewhat comical.

The Ancient Wood immediately stopped its pursuit, but its leaves continued to sway, clearly enticing the Cold Beast to come over.

Indeed, the Mud Stone Bull was charging toward the tree!

In the mind of a Cold Beast, there was no concept of danger.

"Stop for a moment, Xiaobai," Du Yu patted the Beautiful Immortal Deer beneath him.

Bai Yujing immediately skidded sideways, looking somewhat frightened, gazing into the distance.

Yang Qingqing’s beautiful eyes narrowed, watching as a tree branch reached out to the Mud Stone Bull, its lush leaves surging vigorously.

A yellow flower appeared, concealing within it a jet-black fruit?

"Moo! Moo...uh~"

The Mud Stone Bull opened its mouth wide, roaring furiously, but was instead stuffed full with the black fruit.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

The running Mud Stone Bull came to a slow halt just like that.

Its gaze was vacant, as if it had lost all purpose in life, standing still and motionless.

Du Yu: ???

Yang Qingqing was equally surprised.

This was a Cold Beast!

A Cold Beast that was entirely feral, savage, and violent!

How could it possibly come to a stop?

"Sizzle!"

"Sizzle..." One by one, the branches slowly pierced into the Mud Stone Bull’s body.

Yet the Mud Stone Bull, which should have been violent and ferocious, quietly stood in place, awaiting its fate?

Beneath the Mud and stone skin of the Mud Stone Bull lay a body of flesh and blood, spilling blood all over the ground.

The branches, like sharp blades, dismembered the Mud Stone Bull within seconds.

"Gulp." Du Yu’s throat moved reflexively.

Never would he have imagined, that on this Otherworld Continent, he would witness what it truly meant to "dissect a bull like Pao Ding."

The Giant Tree had obviously done this many times before.

It deftly dismembered the corpse, dug into the soil, and buried the Mud Stone Bull within.

Yang Qingqing lowered her eyes, looking at the ordinary land. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Little Fen Yang had warned her earlier that endless remains were buried beneath her feet...

"This is not just killing, this is pure and brutal torture," Du Yu whispered, "This tree must harbor a deep hatred for the Cold Beasts."

Yang Qingqing nodded gently, "Its fruit has mysterious effects too; do not try it lightly."

Du Yu: "..."

Little Fen Yang is not in my body, so why would I be idle enough to eat Demon Plant Fruit?

If anyone should eat it, it should be you~

"Rustle! Rustle!"

The Giant Tree swiftly cleaned the battlefield, leaving not a trace of blood, burying everything underground.

Then, it used its countless branches to form the shape of "people," continually shaking them.

In this slightly manic gesture, Du Yu discerned an undertone of joy akin to weeping.

While Yang Qingqing’s wariness lingered in her heart, a slight trace of compassion emerged in her eyes.

This enigmatic Giant Tree, who knows how long it had been standing in this ashen apocalypse, enduring how many storms.

At long last, it once again saw familiar figures,

beheld beings that belonged to the Twin Tree Civilization—members of the Human Race.

"Master Qing, what do those three characters mean?" Du Yu suddenly asked, "The three together, the last one is ’tree,’ right?"

Yang Qingqing lifted her eyes to look, softly saying, "Dixiu Tree."

"Dixiu?" Du Yu licked his lips.

This name,

is a bit domineering, isn’t it?
