47: Chapter 47 Traveling Together

Fang Yun looked in the direction the voice came from, and saw a frail girl in a green dress standing above a gigantic vine plant.

"Who are you...?"

The young girl did not answer his question, and instead said, "Let's deal with them first."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Alright."

"Is there anything I need to do?"

Muxi broke into a smile, "Classmate Fang only needs to watch from the side."

By the end of her sentence, the frail aura about her instantly transformed into one full of dominance.

"Now, I will take over the battlefield."

Fang Yun was somewhat surprised; what background could this girl possibly have to possess such confidence?

At this moment, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned her head and said, "Right, Classmate Fang, have your believers maintain their formation well, so as not to accidentally injure them shortly."

Fang Yun grew even more curious about what methods she had to deal with this swarm of insects that even he found tricky.

At this time, the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes seemed to sense someone approaching, and a portion of the swarm shifted direction, charging toward Muxi's side.

Muxi sat gracefully atop her throne and spoke softly, "Go, my people, and wipe out this group of annoying bugs."

"As you wish."

The next second, all the Forest Spirits reached out simultaneously, loading crimson fruits.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Crimson fruits filled the sky as they surged upward, and before the Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes could even react, the first wave of explosions directly tore through thousands of insects.

However, this number of deaths was just a drop in the bucket for the entire swarm, and even more poison mosquitoes swarmed forward madly.

The Forest Spirits who finished firing the explosive spiritual fruits in the first wave immediately retreated, replaced by another batch of Forest Spirits. The transition between them was extremely smooth and well-trained.

The second batch of Forest Spirits that stepped up produced strange crimson flowers. Their stems were extremely small, but their petals were massive, unfolding to nearly a meter across, somewhat resembling sunflowers.

Under the catalysis of the Forest Spirits, these flowers rapidly grew larger, their petals eventually expanding to five meters.

At this time, the first wave of charging insects was already right before their eyes. Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, closely watching the actions of the Forest Spirits.

Presumably, these plants were her reliance for dealing with the insect swarm.

The next moment, the leading Forest Spirit shouted out.

"Heaven-Burning Flower."

"Bloom."

In an instant, thousands of giant crimson flowers in the forest bloomed simultaneously.

Boom! Pillars of fire shot up into the sky, dyeing the entire heaven crimson. The black insect cloud that originally blotted out the sun rapidly dissolved amidst the flames.

In just a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of Bloodthirsty Poison Mosquitoes were completely wiped out.

Fang Yun watched this scene with his heart pounding, his gaze turning solemn.

What a peculiar path of civilization, and what an overbearing area-of-effect attack.

Fang Yun could sense that the attack intensity unleashed by the other party was not high, but it happened to restrain this group of venomous insects that were weak in strength yet massive in number.

After all the insect swarms were eliminated, Fang Yun also had his believers withdraw the formation, coming to stand less than five meters away from Muxi's camp.

"Thank you, classmate, for your helping hand. May I ask for your name?"

Fang Yun cupped his hands slightly in salute. Reason and etiquette dictated that he should express his gratitude for her timely aid.

"Hee hee, just call me Muxi, Demigod Fang."

Muxi leaped lightly down from the giant plant beneath her. As she neared the ground, strands of vines intertwined to form a soft woven mat.

Hearing her teasing remark, Fang Yun smiled wryly.

"So it is Classmate Muxi. Classmate Muxi ranked second in the end-of-month evaluation back then, truly possessing extraordinary natural talent. Meeting you today, it is indeed as extraordinary as rumored."

"Not at all, not at all. I am far inferior to Classmate Fang."

For a moment, the two of them flattered each other, keeping the atmosphere lively.

After the pleasantries were over, Fang Yun looked at the believers behind her who were obviously different from ordinary people, and couldn't help asking:

"Classmate Muxi, what are these believers? Oh, if it's inconvenient to say, never mind; I'm just curious."

Muxi smiled faintly, "There's nothing inconvenient about it. These are my special believers, the Forest Spirits."

Fang Yun was somewhat surprised, "Special believers?"

Next, through Muxi's explanation, Fang Yun gained a general understanding.

Her talent was an S-rank talent, [Endless Vitality], which possessed the ability to manipulate the origin of plants, promote plant evolution, and give ordinary plants special life characteristics.

For instance, the explosive spiritual fruits and Heaven-Burning Flowers from just now were both evolved within Muxi's own divine kingdom.

At this time, Muxi also asked, "Classmate Fang's believers don't seem to be ordinary Homo Sapiens believers either. I feel that there is a terrifying power contained within their bodies. I wonder if you could clear up my confusion?"

Fang Yun smiled and said, "Of course."

Muxi had so generously introduced her talent and believers, so Fang Yun naturally wouldn't be secretive.

However, he did not expose the existence of the S-rank building, the primordial dragon-elephant pool, only saying that his believers had undergone the baptism of dragon-elephant essence blood by chance.

Muxi showed a look of realization; no wonder these believers were so powerful.

Just at this moment, someone among Fang Yun's believers suddenly fainted, and he instantly arrived by the person's side.

Eve's voice sounded, "Master, we have stayed in the forest for too long, and the concentration of miasma is constantly increasing. If we continue to go deeper, I'm afraid more believers will experience this condition."

Fang Yun's expression turned ugly. He and his believers possessed strength in vain, but now they felt unable to use it, which was extremely frustrating.

Right at this moment, a figure slowly walked over, as Muxi clearly noticed the situation on this side as well.

She only glanced at the fallen Dragon-Elephant Warrior and immediately understood the cause.

She raised her slender palm, and a Forest Spirit believer immediately stepped forward.

The Forest Spirit girl took out a cyan-green small grass from the vine-wood medicine basket she carried with her.

That small grass was only the size of a palm, with oval leaves and a faint halo flowing across its surface.

"This is the Qingling Grass, specially used to treat toxins and miasma. Quickly have him take it."

Fang Yun's expression turned joyful, and he quickly thanked her, "Thank you so much. Are there any more of this grass? I don't know when we will be able to walk out of this forest, so I'd like to purchase some as a backup."

Muxi shook her head, "I still have plenty of this grass here. Just take it and use it."

Fang Yun, however, shook his head and refused to agree. Just because the other party had a lot of them didn't mean the item wasn't valuable, especially in the current environment.

Eventually, after some discussion between the two, Fang Yun handed half of the spiritual plant resources he had previously harvested over to Muxi, exchanging them for enough Qingling Grass for his believers to use.

After the transaction, their relationship became a bit closer, so Fang Yun took the initiative to propose, "How about we act together from now on? That way, the efficiency will be higher."

He had taken a fancy to Muxi's powerful comprehensive abilities; in this primitive forest, who knows how many hidden dangers still lurked.

Given the means she currently displayed, she was undoubtedly a huge assistance.

Muxi considered for a moment and nodded, "Traveling together is fine, but how should the resources obtained along the way be distributed?"

Regarding this point, Fang Yun had clearly thought of it long ago: "The two of us, half for each. How about that?"

"Agreed."

In the subsequent exploration, both of them witnessed the power of each other's believers.

In this forest, the Forest Spirits seemed to be born jungle experts. They could sense subtle changes among plants and trees, distinguish the vital aura emitted by different spiritual plants, and even avoid hazardous areas hidden within the forest in advance.

With Muxi's help, their exploration speed greatly increased.

Along the way, any fierce beasts blocking their path were crushed head-on by Fang Yun's Dragon-Elephant Warriors.

As for the precious spiritual plants hidden deep within the forest, the Forest Spirit believers were responsible for finding them.

In just a few short days, both of them harvested valuable resources. Of course, the final resource distribution was divided between the two according to their agreement.

Just at this moment, a Forest Spirit believer responsible for scouting spiritual objects suddenly stopped in their tracks, their eyes lighting up.

"Divine Lord, I sensed an extremely massive force of vitality ahead! The floral and arboreal aura there far exceeds all the places we've passed through before!"

Fang Yun and Muxi exchanged glances and quickly advanced toward the location sensed by the believer.
