Master of Ten Thousand Foxes-Chapter 283 - 175: What Lies at the Ancient Immortal’s Riverbed? (2)
It was unclear how much time had passed...
They arrived at the dark depths of the water.
Zhang Shan’s eyes barely adjusted to the darkness, ignoring the stinging sensation from the water, as he stared hard at the underwater world!
"Huh?"
His heart pounded fiercely!
Because he saw the Round Stone Ancient Immortal!
He saw the bald, big fatty, Round Stone Ancient Immortal, dressed in a black robe, quietly lying at the bottom of this dark water, as if asleep.
But wasn’t the Ancient Immortal supposed to be on the shore?
Wasn’t it in the thatched hut?
Beside the shoulder of the Round Stone Ancient Immortal, was there another person lying there?
Also in a black robe, also bald, also a big fatty, also... the Round Stone Ancient Immortal?!
Zhang Shan’s pupils quaked!
"It couldn’t be..."
He scanned the depths, looking all around him.
Then he exchanged a glance with Lu Yang, and panic was written all over their faces!
The depths, densely packed, were filled with... Round Stone Ancient Immortals!
In this deep little river, this long river path, the riverbed was littered with one Round Stone Ancient Immortal after another!
They were sprawled haphazardly, some lying side by side, some resting their heads on the bellies of other Round Stone Ancient Immortals, some on others’ thighs, some with crossed arms, some stacked like human pyramids, lying chaotically along this endless riverbank.
Just how many Round Stone Ancient Immortals were there?
Zhang Shan and Lu Yang were very scared.
But also very excited!
This was very, very important information!
Information that humanity had never obtained before!
Bringing this information back, to the experts, would allow humans to understand the Ancient Immortals a bit more!
They released the stone slab in their hands and began to swim upwards, towards the water’s surface!
The stone slab fell down below, towards the sleeping Ancient Immortals.
Zhang Shan suddenly feared... would this stone slab wake the Ancient Immortals?
"No, it won’t wake them."
A voice answered the question in his mind.
It came from below, the voice of an Ancient Immortal.
Zhang Shan and Lu Yang looked down to see the stone slab freely falling in the water, not yet hitting the Ancient Immortals.
But one by one, the densely packed, haphazardly lying Ancient Immortals opened their eyes.
They lay on the riverbed, each opening their mouths with a hint of amusement.
"Oh? I thought another one had died."
"Hahaha, how could they die so quickly?"
"Oh my, oh my, I thought it was my turn to go up and play."
"Who are these two? Are they our apprentices? Apprentices from the present world?"
"They must be, right?"
"Our good apprentices, come to see their masters?"
"Apprentices, you are quite curious, aren’t you?"
"It’s a pity that there are some things apprentices shouldn’t know, can’t know."
Zhang Shan and Lu Yang saw a fat hand enlarge in their vision, and then everything went black, losing consciousness.
...
"Pfft..."
Zhang Shan lay on the ground, with his belly pressed, spitting out a mouthful of water, opened his eyes to see Yu Tingting’s concerned gaze.
Beside him, Lu Yang had already woken up, sitting by the riverbank gagging, spitting out some mud and saliva.
"What did you see at the bottom just now?"
Zhang Shan frowned, remembering... damn it, nothing! Only black silt!
"Sigh, all for nothing, like a drowned rat."
...
At the foot of Fox Mountain.
A dense gathering of foxes, fiery red figures, congregated in the newly opened medicinal field.
"Yingyingying!"
"Awooo awoo!"
"Yingyingying!"
This newly opened medicinal field, what was planted there seemed rather unorthodox?
There were twisted, crooked trees growing here!
These trees weren’t straight at all, instead they had branches shaped like people in a horse stance. Each tree lined up, it looked like a large group of people in a neat square formation in a horse stance.
Bai Mo, with Peach Blossom Eyes and Star Ear, carrying herbs, stood by a tree, earnestly explaining to the apprentices.
"This plot is our latest fertilizer factory at Fox Mountain!
"We’ve creatively used the human alchemy techniques of Meat Bottle Mountain to simulate the human body with plants.
"Look at the shape of this tree, doesn’t it resemble a human body?
"Doesn’t it look like a horse stance?
"Look at this tree cavity, doesn’t it look like a wide-open mouth?
"All you need to do is feed the corresponding herbs into its mouth according to the formula."
As Bai Mo spoke, Peach Blossom Eyes and Star Ear fed large spoonfuls of medicinal gruel into the mouth of the Tree-man.
"Wait for the medicinal materials to be processed in its stomach, following the set procedure, step by step in refining."
As Bai Mo’s words fell, the Tree-man’s stomach started to make "gurgle gurgle gurgle" sounds, as if suffering from indigestion, about to burst...
"In the end, we will have fertilizer coming out!"
Bai Mo pointed to the tree beside him.
"This refining process takes two hours.
"That tree was fed medicine ahead of time, just right until now."
The Tree-man next to it squatted in a horse stance...below the horse stance, a toilet was already placed ahead of time.
Then came the sound "plop plop splash", as the Tree-man excreted light green medicinal mud fertilizer, and before long, it filled half of the toilet.
Bai Mo frowned slightly...this fertilizer is certainly effective, the process is indeed simple, able to free up a lot of labor.
Regarding the visual effects and auditory effects...one cannot be too demanding.
Around them, the dense fox apprentices all wore expressions of surprise, frozen in shock.
After a while, they reacted and began to jump and cheer!
"Awo awo awo!"
"Ying ying ying!"
"Awo awo awo!"
...From now on, without bothering the master, Fox Mountain can also refine fertilizer!
After watching, the foxes gathered in groups of three to five, chatting in fox language, heading to their respective work posts.
Each one was very excited!
Except for Star Belly...
It had just admitted its mistake to the master, who did not punish it, but rather helped check its body, to see if it had hurt itself. As for the black-haired coconut tree, the master didn’t seem to care much, only advising it to always stay safe, work normally, and try to control its martial techniques!
"Awo..."
With its head drooping, ears hanging low, it walked, eyes fixed on its own fat belly, looking at the white star spots on its stomach, feeling more and more embarrassed.
Beside it, White Gloves put an arm around Star Belly’s shoulder, smiling.
"Ying ying awo awo!"
It told Star Belly not to care so much!
The master said, the coconut trees aren’t important, foxes are the greatest treasure of Fox Mountain!
The two foxes entered the path between the fields, speeding up side by side, racing to the edge of the medicinal field.
Along the way, they passed some grass fields, some woods, a huge Jade Food Tree, and some vine fields with trellises; the two foxes finally arrived at their respective medicinal fields.
Whew...
The gale howled.
Today’s wind seems exceptionally strong, and it’s a hurricane, spinning around in the coconut grove!
Star Belly was about to start working when suddenly it saw a gigantic withered yellow grass ball being swept up by the hurricane, running and rolling recklessly in its coconut grove!
"Ying?"
What is this?
Something blown from the depths of the prairie?
And...why are two coconut trees fallen?
Star Belly, puzzled and annoyed, was about to step up to investigate when it saw the grass ball being swept by the wind, crashing into a black-haired coconut tree!
The seemingly light grass ball crashed into the coconut tree, causing a massive shock!
Buzz~
With a strange buzzing hum, the grass ball was bounced away.
The coconut tree trunk, however, began to "crack crack" and develop increasingly large cracks!
Star Belly stood outside the grove, eyes widened, staring at that grass ball.
"Awo?"
The case is solved!
The wrongs are washed away!
It wasn’t it that broke the coconut tree; it was this damn thing accusing it!
"Ying ying ying awo awo awo!"
It immediately yelled for its brothers!
Soon after, the nearby medicinal field’s White Gloves and Round Ears came running, following Star Belly’s fox claw, listening to the commotion in the woods, and seeing the huge grass ball rolling chaotically in the wind.
"Ying ying ying awo awo awo!"
Star Belly, one claw on its waist, the other pointing at the grass ball, with furrowed brows and glaring eyes!
...It was the grass ball that broke the coconut tree!
"Awo awo ying ying ying ying!"
Star Belly urged its brothers to go invite the master.
It wants to personally go up and capture this grass ball!
Just then, they noticed the huge grass ball being blown by the wind, crashing towards a large stone in the forest!
Boom!
It collided and contacted!
Buzz~
With a vibrating hum, the grass ball directly ground over, and the stone shattered into fragments and powder, scattering everywhere. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Awo?"
Star Belly opened its mouth, unable to close it.
It withdrew its claw pointing at the grass ball, lifted its head, pretending it never said, "I’ll personally go capture this grass ball."
This grass ball is quite ominous!
Go call the master!
