Global Exploration: Starting from Decrypting Chernobyl

206: Gannan Kunxi! Crescent moon and sparse tung trees!”This...”

”What on earth is going on?”

The young man looked at Wu Tian in a daze, pointing a trembling finger at him as he asked.

”Your blood?!”

”...”

”Heh...”

Wu Tian gave a faint smile and glanced at the young man.

”The world is vast and full of wonders. The extraordinary people and things you’ve seen are but a drop in the ocean.”

”Don’t worry!”

Wu Tian said with a smile.

”Just wait a bit longer...”

”It’ll be fine in a moment!”

”...”

Just as Wu Tian fed his blood to the female zombie,

the heads of the various families around him, along with Fatso and Zhang Meng, were falling into a state of endless agitation.

They roared and bellowed, their mouths repeating meaningless words.

”Speak!”

”Speak quickly! Tell us now!”

”What is the secret deep within the Soul-Bewitching Cave?”

”Where is Zhang Daoling’s tomb hidden?”

”And where is Li Xiong’s tomb hidden?”

”Quickly!”

”Tell us!”

”Or else I’ll kill you!”

”...”

Only Wu Xie remained in a state of internal conflict. The expression on his face shifted between calmness and anxiety, but he kept his teeth clenched and did not speak.

”...”

”Roar... Roar!”

At that moment, the zombie in front of Wu Tian suddenly threw its head back and let out an earth-shattering roar!

Its purple skin began to boil and bulge!

It looked as if tiny insects were crawling under her skin.

It was terrifying and gruesome!

”This...”

”What’s happening?”

”How...”

”How can this be?”

”...”

The young man was startled. His eyes widened as he stared at Wu Tian and demanded an explanation.

”Don’t panic!”

Wu Tian smiled faintly.

”What’s there to panic about? This is a normal reaction. Your fiancée has too much corpse poison in her body. See those purple markings? That’s the manifestation of the corpse poison!”

Wu Tian said indifferently.

”It just so happens that my blood has the effect of suppressing corpse poison. Just wait. The corpse poison in your fiancée’s body is being devoured by my blood.”

”...”

”Roar!”

”Argh...”

Hearing the zombie his fiancée had become roaring frantically, her flesh churning incessantly, a look of pain and reluctance appeared in the young man’s eyes.

But... for that one glimmer of hope, the final hope Wu Tian had given him... the young man gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and waited with bloodshot eyes!

...Time passed minute by minute.

The purple markings on the female zombie tied to the tree were gradually receding like a tide.

The wails and roars coming from her throat also gradually became less hoarse and coarse.

They slowly began to sound like human cries of pain.

”Ah!”

”It... hurts... It hurts so much...”

”...”

Just as the female zombie’s voice sounded more like a normal person’s, a cold light flickered in Wu Tian’s eyes as he looked at the young man beside him.

He said to the latter,

”You believe me now, don’t you? Your fiancée’s condition is improving. I have a question for you.”

”You said before that your fiancée died of stomach cancer, so...”

Wu Tian pointed at the zombie.

”How did she end up like this?”

”...”

Hearing this question, the young man suddenly became calm.

He looked at Wu Tian and tilted his head.

He seemed to be recalling something.

Then... the young man spoke to Wu Tian with a hint of uncertainty.

”Back then...”

”At the end of Ziran’s life... she suddenly told me she didn’t want any more treatment and wanted to see the magnificent mountains and rivers...”

”That’s why I took her traveling, and we eventually ended up at the Soul-Bewitching Cave.”

The young man said with a frown.

”I think I saw something here, but I can’t remember clearly. However...”

”Ziran seemed to have been bitten by something, and then she turned into this.”

”We...”

The young man suddenly looked around in a daze and said,

”We’ve just been staying here ever since.”

”...”

”Staying here ever since?”

Wu Tian was taken aback.

His eyes flickered as he looked at the young man to confirm again.

”Are you sure?”

”...”

”This...”

”What’s there to be unsure about?”

The young man replied as if it were obvious.

”If I hadn’t been here all this time, would you have met me?”

”...”

Wu Tian’s eyes flickered for a few seconds before he slowly nodded.

”Right!”

”You have a point.”

”If you hadn’t been here, we certainly wouldn’t have met you.”

Then... Wu Tian stopped talking and turned his gaze toward the zombie.

”Roar!”

”Ah... It hurts... Chen Ming!”

”Chen Ming, where are you?”

”It hurts so much!”

”I... Save me... Save me...”

”...”

The young man’s body jolted, and he scrambled directly toward the zombie tied to the tree.

He gripped the zombie’s shoulders tightly and asked excitedly,

”You...”

”Ziran, you remember?”

”You remember who I am, right?”

”You’re okay now, right?”

”I...”

The young man looked his fiancée’s skin up and down and found that the purple had almost entirely faded. He immediately reached out to untie the rope on Ziran!

Suddenly!

Wu Tian’s cold voice rang out beside the young man.

”...”

”She isn’t fully recovered yet and is still in a state of delirium. The reason she could call your name is just her subconscious.”

”I advise you not to untie her yet!”

”Her body is incredibly itchy right now. If she can’t control herself and scratches her skin open, the corpse poison will return with a vengeance!”

”At that point... even the gods won’t be able to save her!”

”...”

”Then...”

The young man looked at Wu Tian and asked in a daze,

”Then what should I do?”

”...”

”What else can you do?”

Wu Tian shrugged.

”In a little while, her consciousness will basically be restored, and you’ll be able to communicate then.”

”But... old rules!”

Wu Tian wagged a finger from side to side.

”Don’t untie the rope!”

”...”

”Alright!”

The young man gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

”No matter what, as long as I can talk to my fiancée again, anything is fine!”

”...”

”Chen Ming?”

”Is... Is it you?”

Just as the young man spoke through gritted teeth, the purple spots on the zombie tied to the tree finally all vanished.

Her pupils constricted slightly.

As she looked at the young man beside her, tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes.

”...”

”Ziran?”

”Ziran!!”

”It’s me!”

”It’s me!”

”You...”

”You can finally hear me. Are you... are you okay?”

”...”

Ziran gave a tragic smile.

”I don’t know.”

”I feel like I can’t maintain this state for much longer.”

”Chen Ming...”

”I missed you so much!”

”...”

”I... I missed you so much too!”

”Waaa!”

Chen Ming, a grown man, suddenly couldn’t take it anymore. He crouched in front of Jiang Ziran and burst into tears.

”It’s been so long...”

”It feels like hundreds of years have passed. Finally... finally, I hear your voice again!”

”Ziran!”

”...”

Chen Ming shouted, lifted his head with determination, and then pulled a ring from his pocket, holding it out to Ziran.

”I owe you a word.”

”And I owe you a conclusion.”

”Now!”

”Whether you are dead or alive, I’m going to say this to you!”

”Ziran!”

”I love you!”

”Marry me!”

”...”

Ziran was stunned.

Then, a bright light flickered in her slightly cloudy eyes!

She looked at the man kneeling on one knee before her, her lips trembling with emotion!

She was so moved that her tears flowed like a fountain!

After a few moments... Ziran’s lips finally stopped trembling.

She nodded frantically at Chen Ming.

”Yes!”

”I promise you!”

”I promise you!”

”Marrying you... is the happiest thing in my life.”

”Heh...”

Jiang Ziran, whose face was hideously distorted by the corpse poison, revealed a very gentle smile.

She said softly to Chen Ming,

”I’ve finally waited for this day.”

”Thank you!”

”...”

The tears in Jiang Ziran’s eyes instantly burst forth.

She shouted at Chen Ming as if breaking down,

”Thank you for doing so much for me! Thank you for always staying by my side!”

”Cough, cough...”

As she spoke, Jiang Ziran coughed up purplish-red blood.

Sizzle!

As soon as the blood hit the ground, it corroded the grass, sending up plumes of white smoke.

”...”

Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself.

This corpse poison... without two thousand years of cultivation, it probably wouldn’t be this potent!

This time... things have really gotten out of hand!

”...”

”What’s wrong?”

”What’s wrong, Ziran!”

Chen Ming shouted as he watched Jiang Ziran coughing up purplish-red blood. Then... he turned his gaze to Wu Tian and questioned him sharply!

”What’s going on? Didn’t you say you could save her?”

”Why is she coughing up blood?”

”You!”

”Save her!”

”...”

Wu Tian didn’t speak. He looked at Jiang Ziran and slowly shook his head.

”...”

”Cough, cough...”

Seeing the despair in Wu Tian’s eyes, Jiang Ziran understood everything. After coughing twice, she shook her head at Chen Ming.

”Chen Ming...”

”Don’t force him!”

”Buddha saves those with whom he has a fated bond; medicine cures the sick, not the dying!”

”I know my own condition!”

”I just wanted...”

Jiang Ziran’s eyes were filled with a happy smile.

”To see you one last time and talk to you again!”

”And to say thank you to you once more!”

”...”

Jiang Ziran’s voice trailed off.

Chen Ming, kneeling before her, was stunned for a moment. Then, with bloodshot eyes, he slowly raised his head and looked at Jiang Ziran.

”Thank... thank me?”

”No!”

Chen Ming’s emotions suddenly fluctuated wildly.

He looked at his fiancée and roared shrilly!

”Why are you thanking me?”

”You shouldn’t thank me!”

”The one who should say thank you... is me!”

”It should be me!”

”...”

”Cough, cough!”

Jiang Ziran tremblingly reached out her hand from the ropes toward Chen Ming’s face.

Chen Ming held back his tears.

He desperately rubbed his face against her hand.

Then... Jiang Ziran’s cold palm touched Chen Ming’s face.

”Heh...”

Feeling such a real touch, Jiang Ziran smiled gently.

She lowered her head and continued to Chen Ming,

”You’re wrong!”

”It’s not you thanking me, but me thanking you!”

”Thank you for your unwavering care. Thank you for accompanying me in my stubbornness and coming to this place with me.”

”Now...”

Jiang Ziran smiled slightly.

Her hand holding Chen Ming’s slowly loosened, then gradually slipped from his palm and hung by her side.

”I’ll go ahead first. Live your life well.”

”Goodbye!”

”...”

After the word ”goodbye” left Jiang Ziran’s mouth, her eyes slowly closed.

Her hands hung limply at her sides.

She had lost her breath forever.

”...”

”Ziran?”

”Ziran?!”

”Why?”

”Why!”

Chen Ming’s eyes were bloodshot. He threw his head back and cried out in heart-wrenching pain. Crystal tears flowed down his face and into his mouth, bitter and salty.

”Why do you have to thank me? Clearly, the person who should say thank you is me!”

”You shouldn’t have said it...”

”You shouldn’t have!”

”Don’t leave me...”

”...”

Chen Ming’s cries gradually grew lower. Then, lowering his head, he seemed to think of something.

He then began to laugh in a low, raspy voice.

”Heh...”

”Thank me?”

”I know...”

Chen Ming said with a look of despair.

”You said those things so I could live better after losing you. But what you don’t know is...”

”I...”

As he spoke... Chen Ming slowly raised his head. By now, his face was covered in tears!

His once calm face was now filled with despair.

”...am also already dead!”

”Heh...”

In the darkening forest, Chen Ming spoke of the most hair-raising things with the gentlest words.

Yet his words were full of emotion.

”Don’t you know? In a world without you, even if I’m alive, there’s no color!”

”If I can’t finish this life with you, then I’ll work hard to die with you!”

”I’ll strive so that we can meet again in the next life!”

”Heh...”

Chen Ming gave a raspy laugh.

”We...”

”Are destined lovers!”

”...”

With that!

Chen Ming’s body and Jiang Ziran’s body, which was tied to the tree, both began to slowly dissipate.

Along with the fading sunset light filtering through the leaves, they slowly vanished before Wu Tian’s eyes.

Before Chen Ming disappeared, he looked at Wu Tian and said one last thing.

”You asked me where I came from?”

”Heh...”

”It was probably about ten years ago.”

Chen Ming smiled slightly.

”And now, the me in front of you is just as you expected—we are not living people.”

”We did indeed appear here.”

”The images of our lives were imprisoned here by a magical formation, the purpose of which was to prevent anyone from entering the depths of the Soul-Bewitching Cave!”

”Heh...”

”Fortunately,”

Chen Ming’s upper body also began to slowly dissipate.

He continued to Wu Tian,

”By a stroke of luck, you broke this formation.”

”Friendly Reminder: The website will be updated soon, which may cause your reading progress to be lost. Please save your ’Bookshelf’ and ’Reading Record’ in time (screenshots are recommended). We apologize for any inconvenience caused!”

”Now I will tell you what you want.”

Chen Ming smiled slightly and spoke to Wu Tian.

”At Gan South and Kun West, a waning moon hangs on a sparse tung tree!”

”...”

Just as Chen Ming’s voice fell, his upper body also slowly dissipated in the sunset!

Between heaven and earth... it was as if Chen Ming and Jiang Ziran had never been there, leaving not even a trace of their presence behind.

They had completely vanished!

And at the moment Chen Ming disappeared...

All the people of the Nine Gates who had been bewitched slowly regained their senses.

Wu Xie, who had been struggling internally, quickly returned to normal.

Because Wu Xie was the first to recover, and he had been the least affected by the bewitchment.

So he looked at Wu Tian and asked with some confusion.

”Boss Wu, I seemed to hear something in my daze just now. What happened? Why can’t I remember anything at all?”

”I only remember...”

Wu Xie scratched his head.

”It seemed like someone was telling a story, but as for what he was actually telling, I’ve completely forgotten.”

”Oh, right!”

As he spoke, Wu Xie’s eyes lit up.

”Weren’t we just going after that zombie? Where is it?”

”...”

”Gone.”

Wu Tian exhaled a breath of turbid air from his chest.

He spoke indifferently to Wu Xie beside him.

”Gone?”

”...”

Wu Xie was stunned and stretched his stiff neck, looking at Wu Tian in disbelief.

”What’s the situation?”

”How did that thing disappear?”

”It couldn’t have been killed by you, right?”

”...”

”Yeah.”

Wu Tian nodded slightly, his expression showing no emotion.

”I got a clue from that zombie.”

”...”

As he spoke, Wu Tian glanced at the people of the Nine Gates around him.

”Wait a bit.”

”Once they’ve all cleared their heads, we’ll talk again!”

”...”

Wu Xie was taken aback, then finally looked at Wu Tian and nodded.

”Alright!”

”...”

Just as Wu Tian and Wu Xie were talking, the people of the Nine Gates recovered one by one.

But after recovering, their expressions were clearly somewhat dazed.

”This...”

”What happened just now?”

”How is it that I have no impression of it at all?”

Huo Nanfeng looked around at the environment and asked with some confusion.

”Yeah!”

”I felt like I had fallen into an endless rage and irritability just now, but what exactly happened...”

Zhao Wu shook his head.

”I really can’t remember a single thing!”

”...”

”Me too!”

Li Xiaotie said with a frown.

”It seemed like... our minds were influenced by something just now.”

”That...”

At this point, Li Xiaotie looked at Wu Tian.

”Boss Wu!”

”When we were out of our minds just now, we didn’t do anything out of line, did we?”

”...”

”It was alright!”

Wu Tian nodded.

”You didn’t do anything out of line; otherwise, none of you would be alive right now.”

”...”

Zhao Wu was stunned.

”None of us would be alive right now is...”

”Hehe...”

Beside them, Wu Xie crossed his arms and smiled slightly.

”You still don’t understand?”

Wu Tian reached out and pointed at each person one by one.

”You bunch of rotten sweet potatoes and bad eggs, if you had done anything out of line, wouldn’t Boss Wu have killed you with a flick of his finger?”

”...”

”You!”

Master Xie the Fourth’s eyebrows shot up.

He glared at Wu Xie and was about to start cursing.

”Shut up!”

However, he was stopped by Third Master Xie beside him.

Third Master Xie smiled slightly.

He asked Wu Tian respectfully.

”Boss Wu?”

”Since none of us can remember what happened, could you tell us what transpired?”

”Where did that zombie go just now?”

”Did you get any clues from it?”

”...”

”Yeah.”

Wu Tian nodded.

”Since everyone has recovered, I’ll explain it to you all.”

”What exactly happened just now...”

He glanced at everyone.

Wu Tian continued.

”A zombie was indeed caught by us just now, but...”

”This zombie was a bit strange.”

Wu Tian frowned.

”To be precise, it wasn’t a real zombie, but a product of a formation.”

”As for how it was dealt with by me, there’s no need to say more. I’ll just tell you what clue I got from it.”

”Just before it died...”

”It told me a sentence.”

Wu Tian adopted a look of recollection and said to everyone.

”It could be considered a line of poetry...”

”’Qian in the south, Kun in the west; a waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia!’”

”...”

Everyone was stunned, and they immediately began to murmur the line of poetry Wu Tian had spoken over and over again.

”Qian in the south, Kun in the west...”

”Qian in the south, Kun in the west...”

”This?”

Suddenly!

Huo Nanfeng’s eyes lit up.

”This first line of poetry should be referring to a direction, right?”

”Look...”

”Qian in the south...”

”It should be the south of the Qian trigram!”

Huo Nanfeng analyzed logically.

”And Kun in the west!”

”That means the west of the Kun trigram!”

”Then...”

The more Huo Nanfeng spoke, the brighter his eyes became.

Then he clapped his hands hard.

He said excitedly!

”Can we guess... that of these two lines of poetry, the first one provides a clue indicating the direction where the true tomb is located?”

”...”

Listening to Huo Nanfeng’s analysis, everyone nodded slightly.

”Indeed, the Huo Family Head’s analysis makes a lot of sense. Qian and Kun are both trigrams for directions, and Qian and Kun represent two directional lines that indicate the direction!”

”Then...”

Wu Xie said with a frown.

”Basically, from this first line of poetry, we can determine the general direction.”

”Then...”

Wu Xie asked with a frown.

”What does the second line, ’a waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia,’ mean?”

”...”

These words truly stumped everyone.

None of them had much schooling and weren’t very cultured.

In Wu Xie’s words, those who were cultured wouldn’t be in the tomb-robbing business.

So... they had never heard the line ’a waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia’ before.

After struggling for a long time and being unable to think of anything, everyone stopped trying!

They turned their gaze toward Zhang Meng, who was behind Wu Tian.

”Hehe...”

A smile that looked worse than crying appeared on Zhao Wu’s coarse face.

He said to Zhang Meng in a fawning manner.

”Miss Zhang Meng, you are knowledgeable and know a lot. Could you interpret for us what ’a waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia’ means?”

”...”

”Yeah, yeah!”

Li Xiaotie also smiled like a sycophant beside her.

”Sister Meng!”

”You have a high level of culture. Could you explain it to us?”

”...”

”Okay.”

Zhang Meng nodded, and after thinking for a while, she spoke to everyone.

”’A waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia’ is actually a poetic line describing a scene. It means that if you look up at the sky through the gaps in the sparse branches of a Paulownia tree, you will see a moon with a piece missing!”

”Looking at it together with the interpretation of the previous line...”

Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up.

”I estimate...”

”After the general direction is determined by Qian and Kun, there must be a Paulownia tree at the location of this tomb, and through the sparse branches of this Paulownia, we can see a waning moon.”

”So!”

An excited look flashed in Zhang Meng’s eyes.

”Our current priority is to first follow the directions of Qian and Kun to find the determined general location.”

”Then...”

Zhang Meng smiled confidently.

”By relying on the clue from the second line of poetry, we’ll be able to find the position of the tomb!”

”...”

”Hiss...”

After Zhang Meng finished analyzing these two lines of poetry, everyone’s eyes widened.

Then Zhao Wu was the first to start flattering Zhang Meng.

”Holy shit, that’s impressive!”

”As expected of my Sister Meng, so knowledgeable and well-informed, to be able to interpret even these two difficult lines of poetry!”

”Tsk tsk!”

”It’s in the bag!”

”This time it’s definitely in the bag!”

”...”

”Yeah, who’s to say otherwise?”

”In ancient times, there was Hua Mulan, a heroine who was not inferior to men; today there is my Sister Meng, one woman worth more than a dozen of us men!”

”I have nothing more to say!”

”Your little brother here is uneducated; I rely on ’holy shit’ to get through life!”

”Really!”

”Sister Meng, I truly admire you!”

”...”

”That’s enough!”

Zhang Meng frowned and said impatiently to everyone.

”Stop your damn flattering!”

”Every single one of you...”

She said crossly.

”Your flattering skills can’t even compare to Wu Tian’s!”

”Just step aside!”

”...”

Everyone was stunned, and then their expressions became awkward.

They stood to one side, looking at Zhang Meng.

They began to blame each other with winks and nods.

”It’s because you’re a noob!”

”You’re the noob!”

”You’re the real noob!”

”...”

”Bullshit!”

”You’re still the noob. Look at how you flatter; you aimed for the horse’s ass but hit its ankle. And you say you’re not a noob?”

”Get lost, you’re the one who doesn’t know how to flatter!”

”Watch out, or I’ll smack you!”

”...”

”That’s enough!”

Hearing the murmurs of them blaming each other, Wu Tian’s face darkened.

He then rubbed his forehead and said to everyone.

”Alright, stop talking nonsense. It’s almost dark now.”

”’A waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia.’ It just so happens the moon is about to come out.”

”Let’s keep moving.”

Wu Tian frowned, looking at the waist-high weeds and bushes in front of him.

”It’ll be a bit tiring, but let’s persevere. We’ll rest once we find the tomb!”

”Let’s go!”

”Set off!”

”...”

The people of the Nine Gates all nodded one after another and followed behind Wu Tian.

They walked toward the calculated direction of Qian South and Kun West.

”...”

...As he continued to lead everyone deeper into the Soul-Bewitching Cave.

The bullet comments in the livestream room were discussing frantically!

”Holy shit! Brothers, that zombie just now was something else!”

”But I didn’t quite understand it either!”

”Do you think... did that zombie actually exist or not?”

”Damn it, was the story that man told true or false? It made me cry like Lin Daiyu!”

”...”

”Get lost!”

”You, Lin Daiyu?”

”I think you’re Lin Daiyu’s sister, Drenched in Rain!”

”...”

”Alright, alright, stop messing around.”

”I didn’t understand what happened just now either. Is there an expert who can explain what just transpired?”

”...”

”Hey!”

”I’ve got the biggest one, so I’ll speak!”

”Actually, that zombie and that man weren’t living people from the present; they were images preserved through a formation!”

”The purpose of those images was to make anyone who entered the Soul-Bewitching Cave lose their mind and eventually die here!”

”We can see that besides my Brother Tian, only Wu Xie had a bit of resistance; everyone else was lost in their own negative emotions.”

This Know-it-all continued to type in the bullet comments.

”In the end...”

”My Brother Tian is still the most badass. He used ’Talk-no-jutsu’ and his own solid strength to teach that zombie and that man a lesson!”

”While influencing them, he also got a clue!”

”I’ll just ask one thing: is that badass or what?”

”...”

”Badass, badass!”

”Understood, understood!”

”Now that you understand, what are you hesitating for?”

”Send those gifts, damn it!”

”Are you bunch of freeloaders?”

”...”

”Hah!”

”I have gifts but I won’t send them, I’ll just keep them. Heh, just for fun!”

”Hiss!”

”The guy above is something else. Then I have something to say too!”

”I have shit but I won’t take it, I’ll just hold it in. Heh, just for fun!”

”Pfft!”

”That’s so freaking disgusting!”

”This is a bullet comment you can smell!”

”Yue!”

”Truly disgusting!”

”...”

”Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense!”

”Hurry up and keep watching!”

”I predict!”

”This wave...”

”This wave will be ’To find the dragon and divide the gold, look to the surrounding mountains’!”

”...”

While the Fans in the livestream room were discussing frantically... Wu Tian and the others had already arrived at the edge of a precipitous cliff!

...”What’s the situation?”

Zhao Wu looked at the bottomless, pitch-black cliff in front of him and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

”We should have been strictly following the directional instructions to find the exact location, right?”

”How...”

”How the hell did we end up at the edge of a cliff?”

”...”

”What’s so strange about that?”

Master Xie the Fourth’s eyebrows shot up.

”Don’t tell me, Head Zhao, that you’ve never seen a tomb built on a cliff?”

”...”

”Enough!”

”Shut your mouth!”

Zhao Wu looked at Master Xie the Fourth with a face full of disgust.

”Can you use your brain a bit when you talk?”

”Who doesn’t know that tombs can be built on cliffs?”

”The problem is ’a waning moon hangs on a sparse Paulownia’!”

”Where’s the Paulownia tree?”

”Where the hell is your Paulownia tree?”

”...”

Being rebuffed by Zhao Wu like this, and then Master Xie the Fourth realizing it as he looked around and indeed found no Paulownia trees.

He immediately lowered his head.

He mumbled a few words dejectedly.

”...”

”No!”

However... at this moment, Wu Tian, who was standing at the front of the group closest to the cliff’s edge, shook his head and spoke.

”There is a Paulownia tree!”

”Look there!”

As he spoke... Wu Tian pointed directly down at the cliff face below their feet, about five meters from the edge.

He said to everyone!

”There’s one right there!”

”...”

Everyone was stunned.

Then, before they could even marvel, they all stepped to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the spot Wu Tian had indicated!

With this look... everyone simultaneously gasped!

”Fuck!”

”There really is one?!”
