I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 69 - 25: God’s Battlefield

The next morning, Jingyang Mountain Path.

Vultures hovered in the sky, hyenas barked on the ground.

Everywhere the eye could see was a scene of devastation left by the storm.

Forests destroyed, villages uprooted, roads flooded...

Amidst it all, the wails of the mountain people who had narrowly escaped, interspersed with the corpses of Guirong Clan and slaves who perished in the chaos.

The closer one got to the center of the battlefield, the center of the storm, the more bodies there were.

Describing it as a "mountain of corpses and a sea of blood" might seem exaggerated.

But "bodies strewn all over the field" undoubtedly encapsulated the scene perfectly.

However, right at the core of the gods’ battlefield, the number of vultures, hyenas, and corpses bizarrely diminished significantly.

Because it was the various grotesque and eerie plants that were the "main characters" here.

Roots and vines tearing through the earth...

Giant man-eating flowers capable of swallowing a person whole...

Human-shaped plants derived from humans themselves, wailing once night falls...

And the Thunder-Attracting Tree, dead yet blooming with thunder from its own stubborn vitality...

It could be said that this most critical battlefield was a domain ruled by these terrifying plants.

Even creatures like vultures and hyenas would deliberately avoid this ominous and foreboding place.

Yet, every rule has its exceptions.

In this place teeming with terrifying plants, there were still signs of the mountain people clinging to life. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Though their numbers were far less than those on the outskirts, they were by no means few in number.

When Er Tu, transformed into an eagle, circled the skies of this region, what he saw was a hellish scene.

Swoosh!

The spread wings abruptly contracted, and the robust eagle streaked through the sky like lightning.

At this moment, Er Tu had no mind for the condition of the mountain people, for he had already noticed the shattered corpse beneath the Thunder-Attracting Tree.

Swoosh!

When Er Tu landed and turned back into his rabbit form.

Only then did he clearly see the fragmented body — except for the head, which was miraculously intact, the other limbs had exploded as if detonated from within.

Fortunately, with Li Boyang’s divination results in advance, Er Tu was mentally prepared for this.

"Even if it wasn’t your body, you’ve been using it for so many years, why destroy it like this!"

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Er Tu murmured quietly.

Circling the exploded corpse a few times, Er Tu ultimately found the human form to be more convenient.

So, Er Tu rolled on the spot, turning back to his previous teenage form.

"Your life really was stifling; in the end, I’m the only one left to collect your remains."

Taking out the piece of animal skin Xiluo had given him.

Er Tu began to wrap up the exploded limbs bit by bit.

Magically, those wrapped fragments miraculously restored themselves.

Especially when Er Tu placed the single intact head inside the animal skin, a complete body was restored from the skin.

Other than being breathless and pale, it looked almost no different from Granny in life.

"Truly amazing!"

Seeing this, Er Tu couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

According to Xiluo, this piece of animal skin came from a peculiar creature known as "Luolu."

Luolu had the ability to heal other creatures, any wound it licked would automatically regenerate.

After its death, if a skilled wizard skinned it, soaking the hide in Luolu’s blood, they could create a "Fur Robe" capable of healing most injuries.

Of course, the Fur Robe could only heal; it could not bring back the dead.

Thus, Granny was now merely a breathless, soulless body.

Due to the lack of blood in her body, Granny’s corpse was stiff like a zombie, devoid of any sign of life.

"Granny, I’ll take you home now!"

Just as Er Tu was about to pick up Granny’s body to return to Gaotun Village.

He suddenly noticed mountain people approaching voluntarily, kneeling not far away.

Clearly, these mountain people had witnessed the entire process of Er Tu collecting Granny’s remains, hence they chose to kneel.

"You..."

Glancing around hesitantly.

Er Tu’s departing steps suddenly halted.

Because in the eyes of these mountain people, Er Tu saw not only awe and reverence but also a deep sense of gratitude.

They revered the power Er Tu displayed, and they were grateful for him tending to Granny’s remains.

These mountain people had witnessed the entire battle between the gods, watching as the seemingly invincible Guirong Clan were turned into human-shaped plants by Nvman.

The mountain people were uneducated and inexperienced, but they weren’t fools.

They understood precisely why they survived and how they came to be protected by these eerie plants.

No exaggeration to say, without the protection of these eerie plants...

Even if they ignored the beasts ever hungry for flesh, the diseases and plagues alone would make these remaining mountain people’s lives unbearable.

"Do you have any requests?"

"For Granny’s sake, as long as it’s not too outrageous, I can help you achieve it."

After a brief hesitation, Er Tu ultimately couldn’t bring himself to leave directly.

Though Er Tu was a Spirit Monster, he had long understood human nature.

Moreover, these mountain people were the ones Nvman fought desperately to protect...

Er Tu thought offering them a little help within his abilities seemed his duty and obligation.

"We have nothing left, nothing we want."

After exchanging glances, a representative of the mountain people raised his head to speak to Er Tu.

"For you to give this Witch a proper burial is already the greatest help to us."

Looking sorrowfully at Granny’s body, the mountain people’s representative let out a heartfelt sigh.

"We intended to tend to the Witch’s remains ourselves, but this great tree prevented us from approaching her..."

"Now that our wish is fulfilled, it’s time for us to join our families."

As he spoke these words, all the mountain people, including their representative, clearly revealed a resolve to die.

Their homeland was destroyed by Guifang Kingdom, their families slaughtered by the Guirong Clan...

Only a group of young and strong people survived until now, but they had long lost much of their will to live.

"Granny saved you with such effort, and you intend to die like this?"

Unable to discern whether furious or helpless, Er Tu suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"Go south, to Gaotun Village and Li Family Village, there are people who will tell you how to live on!"

"If you still wish to die by then, go to Granny’s grave and tell her yourself!"
