Chapter 1268: Chapter 1268: There Really Is a Secret

Really, you simply can’t imagine the scene at the spot.

It was a completely unexpected loud bang, and then the Big Beard who was originally following behind Lu Xiaobu got blasted away!

At that moment, Lu Xiaobu’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

What the hell, is someone out to get him?!

The way the surrounding spectators looked at Lu Xiaobu was filled with fear!

”Oh my god! He’s really a Plague God!”

”This is unbelievable!”

”Poor Big Beard, he clearly did nothing, yet just by walking around with Lu Xiaobu, he ended up like this!”

”Ah! That saying was true after all, never insult a Grandmaster, avoid Young Master Lu!”

”No, no, I think that saying needs to be changed, it should be, never insult a Grandmaster, never look at Young Master Lu!”

”Exactly! Exactly! That’s how it should be!”

”...”

The timing of all this was just too coincidental, to the point where they couldn’t help but believe it!

Damn, it’s like he’s the reincarnation of the Plague God!

After a bit of chaos, they finally started to look at what exactly exploded and what sent Big Beard flying.

”Why did this ancient tree explode?”

The crowd exclaimed in astonishment.

Indeed, what exploded just now was none other than the ancient tree that had just sprouted!

At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the ancient tree had disappeared, replaced by a small sapling about as thick as a baby’s arm.

What hit and sent Big Beard flying wasn’t anything else but the exploded dead wood trunk.

”What’s going on?” Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes at the slender sapling, then turned to the recently emerged Old Poison.

He was very displeased!

Coincidentally, it didn’t explode sooner or later, it had to explode just when he took someone out for a walk?!

Was this Old Poison’s doing on purpose?

”Well, I’m not quite sure either.” Old Poison responded with a wry smile.

They knew nothing about this tree, how could they know it would act this way?

But looking at the sapling, the development of the ancient tree seemed to be heading in a positive direction, so there’s no need to worry too much!

However.

He also found it somewhat amusing.

Unlucky Lu Xiaobu!

”Damn it!” Lu Xiaobu cursed angrily.

Looking at the group around him who immediately lowered their heads as soon as he glanced over, he was filled with displeasure!

So, he decided to take another walk around, he didn’t believe it, would it explode again?!

Thus, Lu Xiaobu approached a martial artist: ”You...”

Before Lu Xiaobu finished his sentence, the martial artist kneeled on the spot, sobbing and sniffling, ”Master Lu, I beg you to spare me! I don’t want to die yet!”

”I! You! Damn it!” Lu Xiaobu was so angry he was about to explode!

Are you guys kidding me?!

Am I really that terrifying?!

Kneeling down just like that?!

Besides, who said I’m after your life, Big Beard didn’t die either!

Sure, he foamed at the mouth and bled from the seven orifices, is it that serious?!

If it were just fear, that would be one thing, but now they’re actually treating him like a Plague God?!

Seriously!

”Alright, alright, Master Lu.” Old Poison said, trying to mediate with a bitter smile: ”Let’s take a look at the situation with the ancient tree.”

Only then did Lu Xiaobu reluctantly direct his gaze at that thing now referred to as a sapling.

He took two steps forward, reached out his hand to touch it, testing its hardness.

Then he touched the exploded wooden fragments on the ground and nodded.

”It seems like the new tree took root and its growth caused the old trunk to explode.” Lu Xiaobu stated.

The hardness of the new and old wood was almost the same, but since the old one was deadwood, being forced open was normal.

Some might ask, why didn’t it just crack open and slowly emerge, but instead explode?

That would need to address hardness.

This tree was of unknown material, incredibly hard, and seamlessly whole, so when the internal pressure evenly distributed across the old trunk...

When it hit the critical point, it exploded.

Of course, this isn’t a very scientific explanation, but that’s roughly it.

”Yes, just as I thought.” Old Poison nodded, agreeing with Lu Xiaobu’s explanation.

Afterwards, he squatted, picked up a piece of wood, and crushed it.

”Wow! I can’t even snap it?” Old Poison was shocked.

He was a grandmaster, even though he didn’t exert full power, that force just now could easily snap a one-centimeter steel plate.

But the piece of wood didn’t budge at all!

Never mind what good this might be, just the hardness itself already qualified it as a treasure!

”Someone, collect all the ancient tree fragments.” Old Poison immediately ordered.

Lu Xiaobu didn’t bother with him, his eyes were still focused on the sapling.

Something wasn’t right!

It’s not that his original thought was incorrect but because it was too correct that made it seem wrong!

Initially, the ancient tree didn’t explode, but then it did!

What does this signify?!

It indicates that within this short period, the ancient tree grew!

This hardness, this energy density, and it grew so fast?! Where did it get the nutrients from?

For it to sprout, it consumed all the herbs in the Medicine King Valley, and now it grew quietly without any energy whatsoever?!

”Old Poison, clear the field.” Lu Xiaobu decided immediately.

He couldn’t allow so many people to stay here, and Old Poison’s previous guess was right, this tree has a big secret!

”Clear the field!” Old Poison immediately commanded.

After issuing the order, he suddenly remembered something!

Uh?! This is the Medicine King Valley!

He’s the boss here!

Why was he following Lu Xiaobu’s orders?! And so effortlessly too?!

What the hell is this?

”You’ll get used to it eventually.” Ye Changsheng noticed Old Poison’s thoughts and chuckled.

He understood this feeling the most.

This feeling might be called dependency!

When you realize you can gain benefits and follow the correct path by just following orders without thinking, you gradually develop dependency and a habitual obedience!

”I won’t get used to it!” Old Poison rolled his eyes and said.

At this moment, those martial artists and rich businessmen were begrudgingly cleared out, and even the disciples of the Medicine King Valley weren’t allowed near.

The nearest people now were only Lu Xiaobu, Ye Changsheng, and Old Poison.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaobu spent two hundred million to max out the Wood Attribute and began to observe, and upon seeing, he indeed discovered a secret!

This ancient tree might indeed have a significant connection with powers beyond a grandmaster!
