Chapter 131: Primordial Heavenly Tree?
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
“Drip, drop! Drip, drop!”
The mini-cave was completely silent now that all the digging activity had ceased. The quiet plop of water droplets suddenly could be heard.
Lu Yang cocked his head in puzzlement. This cave was as dry as it could be, so where did the water come from?
“Big Might, what are you still squatting there for? Let’s go, we’re leaving!”
Seeing that he had failed to grab the attention of Big Might, he placed his hands on Big Might’s shoulders.
Lu Yang trembled slightly as he felt a thick, sticky liquid on his palms, causing him to retract his arm on reflex. A strong smell of iron immediately assaulted his nose as he squinted his eyes and brought his hands to his face for a closer look.
“A-Ah, AAHH!”
Lu Yang looked at his blood-soaked hands and stumbled backwards uncontrollably with a terrible shriek as he felt his legs go soft. Turning around in shock, he saw a strange root stuck in Big Might’s eye socket!
“Little Yang, what the hell are you shouting about at this time of the night?” The muscular man outside had hurriedly rushed in as soon as Lu Yang’s shout sounded only to see the youngster sitting on the floor, trembling with fright.
“Bi-big! Big Might… Big Might!”
Lu Yang’s teeth were chattering uncontrollably; he opened and closed his mouth repeatedly in an attempt to speak. But no matter how he tried, he could only spit out a few words!
Lu Jia Gui [1] began to get nervous himself, “Big Might? What’s wrong with Big Might? Hurry up and tell me!” Seeing Lu Yang sitting mutely as though he had received a great shock, he directly moved towards Big Might to ascertain the situation for himself.
“AHHHH!”
“Tap, tap, tap!”
A similarly wretched scream rang out as Lu Jia Gui took numerous steps backwards and very nearly fell onto his buttocks. With a soft ‘bam’, his toolbox fell to the ground. Then, almost immediately, he turned around and fled!
“Ah, you bloody c*unt! At least wait for me before you run!”
Lu Yang hollered angrily at the disappearing figure of Lu Jia Gui. His own legs had gone jelly from fright, and he could not even get off his a*s, let alone run!
“Ta, ta, ta!”
After about 30 seconds, the flustered steps of Lu Jia Gui could be heard again as he came sprinting back.
“This fellow is usually sly and bastardy, but who would have thought that he’ll be such an honorable person in a critical time!” Lu Yang felt so touched that his eyes began to grow red. He looked at Lu Gui Yang with gratitude and stretched his hands out. It was fine if the f*cker was not reliable in other things. What was most important was that he was reliable when it matters!
“F*ck! Are you not going to run?”
Before Lu Yang could go far with his emotional thoughts, Lu Jia Gui had already picked up his toolbox and fled again. He even cursed at Lu Yang as he ran!
“D*mnit! Lu Jia Gui! F*ck your grandfather!”
The green-faced Lu Yang was left sitting stupidly with his hands extended awkwardly in midair, his expression one of disbelief. A brief moment passed before he realized what that bastard Lu had done. With a burst of expletives, Lu Yang jumped to his feet and stumbled after him!
At the same time, Song Wen and Song Qing were enjoying a homely dinner at a farmer’s restaurant. Noticing that the three workers had not returned despite it being so late, Song Wen could not help but to praise happily, “Those three are not bad! Such a level of dedication to their work is truly admirable!”
“Who knows? Perhaps the three fellows fell asleep there and still haven’t woken up!” Song Qing put a piece of stir-fried duck into his mouth and quibbled.
“Step, step!”
“Bam!”
A flurry of footsteps accompanied by heavy panting appeared outside the door before it was violently flung open!
“Eh? What the hell is wrong with you two? Don’t you know how to knock?!” Song Wen snapped with a darkening expression as he looked at the flustered duo.
“I-It’s a big matter!”
Lu Yang gasped for a breath of air before blurting out.
“What big matter? Did you dig up a treasure?” Song Qing’s eyes lit up.
“Gulu… gulu…!” Lu Yang grabbed the cup of iced water on the table and gulped the entire cup down before turning to Song Wen. With his lips trembling slightly, he put the cup down. “Big Might is dead!”
“Big Might? Who the f*ck is Big Might? What’s that got to do with me?!” Song Qing’s patience ran out and he slammed the table with anger.
The two country bumpkins had barged in flustered and jumpy without even bothering to knock, drank his water without asking him, and were now telling him about a dead Big Might? Who the hell knew if they were talking about some dog or cat?
“Bam!”
“Old man! What the hell were you digging for?!”
Song Qing had grown angry, but so had Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui! They too slammed their palms on the table and pointed at Song Wen in rage!
Song Wen felt his heart leap as he slowly realized the severity of the situation. He had hired three men in the morning, but there was only two in front of him now. Could it be that the dead Big Might was the missing worker?
“Don’t be anxious, we can talk about this slowly. I only asked you guys to dig for a plant root to make a bracelet! What exactly happened? Please speak more clearly!” Song Qing had a grave expression on his face.
Lu Yang calmed down and began to narrate the chain of events. When Song Wen heard that a root had shot out of the hole and stabbed into Big Might’s eye, both him and Song Qing revealed doubtful looks. A root suddenly shot out of the hole? Why don’t you just say that the root gained a spirit and became a divine being?
However, Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui started to swear on their lives that before they left, there wasn’t even the faintest sign of a root and when they turned around, Big Might had clearly been killed by a strange root!
Song Wen and Song Qing exchanged an anxious glance and hurriedly called the police. The moment the police officers arrived, the group all left for the cliff together.
The scene was quickly cordoned off and a few officers carefully ventured into the cave to check on the situation.
“Captain, there is a corpse inside, and the initial assessment is that he had died by unnatural causes. The cause of death appears to be a stab wound through the eye using a sharp object. However, we did not find any root at all.”
A twenty plus year old police officer quickly emerged from the cave with a grave expression on his face as he reported the situation to a middle-aged officer.
“Impossible! I clearly saw a root about the thickness of an infant’s fist protruding from the hole and lodging in Big Might’s eye!”
Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui cried out aloud.
At the same time, they moved to barge into cave for a look themselves, causing the young officer to immediately stretch out a hand to block them. The middle-aged officer placed his hand on the young officer’s shoulder and shook his head lightly, indicating to let them through.
The roughly dug cave was about 3 or 4 meters deep, and about 2 meters wide. The cliff face with the hole was splattered with a generous amount of blood, now visible through the light of the lanterns.
“How can this be?!”
Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui cried out in disbelief. Big Might who was previously stuck squatting when facing the wall was now slumped on the ground. The strange hole which was as big as an infant’s fist did not have any trace of the root at all.
“Look, there’s no such thing here like the killer root or whatever which you guys described!
The young officer watched the reactions of Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui suspiciously.
“Are you sure that you did not make a mistake?” The middle-aged officer furrowed his brows as he turned to Lu Yang and Lu Jia Gui.
“Impossible! There’s no way we could have seen wrongly!”
Lu Yang screamed in a deranged manner.
“Fine, Little He, bring these two guys with you and continue digging here!”
Tie Zhonguo pointed to the two officers behind him.
Both officers revealed a constipated expression on their faces as they looked at the middle-aged officer incredulously. This task… was a little too demanding!
The first order of business was still to carry Big Might’s body away. Following that, the officers took over Lu Yang and the rest’s tools and began working away at the hole. The others started to pace about outside impatiently, taking pictures and recording statements.
“What the hell is this situation?! We’ve actually became stonemasons now? Actually, if you ask me, the two fellows out there are the greatest suspects! What nonsense is that about a killer root? The way I see it, they were killed with this thing!”
Little He held up the chisel in his hands and waved it about with the airs of a great detective.
“Haha, just shut up and dig. Who knows, there might really be a killer root here!”
The other two officers jested.
“Let me see how deep this strange hole goes… ”
Little He grabbed the flashlight and shone it into the hole.
Before the terrified eyes of Little He, a slender black root really shot out of the hole with unbelievable speed! Before he could even react, the black root had stabbed a hole through Little He’s forehead!
Five minutes passed before another officer noticed that Little He had been unusually quiet for too long. “Little He, you’ve rested for so long already. Aren’t you going to hurry up and get to work?” He grumbled with discontent.
Noticing that there was no response, he began to get an ominous feeling. The officer quickly tapped the other officer beside him and the two cautiously approached Little He together.
“AHH!”
“AH! There’s really a killer root! It’s a demon!”
The two officers immediately panicked and shot out of the cave as if they’d seen a ghost. Little He’s eyes were wide open and his expression was extremely scary. A single root remained in his forehead.
The people outside took a quick glance at each other. Sensing that the matter was quite serious, they immediately sealed off the cave and reported the incident upwards.
But their actions were still a bit too slow. Someone had already posted the shocking news onto the internet, with the headlines “Ancient Demon Tree turns to life, two people killed!” A few pictures and even the location was attached to the post!
Although the post was eventually deleted just one hour after appearing on the internet, its page views had actually reached over a million by the time it was taken down!
People from this generation possessed an extremely strong curiosity towards any novel topics. Seeing that there was a picture and even the location on it, many people clicked on it, causing the post to become viral for a short moment.
***
“Patriarch! It seems like a Primordial Heavenly Tree had appeared!”
“Elder! We suspect that a Primordial Heavenly Tree had been born in Mt. Qing Ling!”
“Haha! What excellent luck! Quick, make preparations! We will rush to Qingcheng immediately!”
Similar scenes were playing out all over China as countless influential and great powers made haste to rush to Qingcheng!
A formless undercurrent stirred through the country, surging towards Qingcheng, awaiting the moment it would burst out!
