Reincarnated as a Ginkgo Tree: I Create an Eternal Divine Kingdom - Chapter 31

Lin Che froze for a moment.

Then he saw that the bear didn’t charge at him but instead targeted the leader of the demonized cultivators.

Under the bear’s fierce attack, the leader was in a miserable state.

This scene made Lin Che feel conflicted, but he didn’t have time to dwell on it.

Because he knew that the leader’s fate would most likely be his own if he didn’t keep running.

At this moment, he could only muster all his strength to keep fleeing. He needed to survive, even if just for another breath. Without realizing it, the two of them had fled to the edge of a small lake.

Lin Che’s breath caught in his throat.

Because by the lake, there were hundreds of beasts gathered, including dozens of spirit beasts.

Behind them, the sound of the Earth shaking could be heard.

It was the footsteps of the bear.

As they neared the lake, the bear seemed to slow down, hesitating as if it was wary of something.

In front of them were hundreds of beasts; behind them, the bear.

Lin Che and Huang Shuling were utterly hopeless.

They were truly trapped with no way out.

Just as they were about to give up, a snow-white Mink-like creature emerged, as graceful as a spirit in the snow.

The moment the Mink appeared, the bear froze in its tracks.

Then, something shocking happened.

“Stupid bear, these two didn’t eat your child.”

A clear, spring-like voice rang out.

What stunned Lin Che and Huang Shuling even more was that this voice came from the Mink.

A beast that could speak human language?

The two of them felt a deep sense of fear.

“Roar!”

The bear growled lowly, as if in disagreement.

The mink snorted coldly, “This is the will of the Divine Tree. Do you dare defy it?”

Lin Che and Huang Shuling were confused, not understanding what the mink meant.

But the bear hesitated, then began to back away.

A moment later, it turned and fled.

The people outside the Wildnerness had no knowledge of the Divine Tree’s existence.

But as one of the overlords of the Wilderness, the bear knew well.

The Misty Forbidden Zone was the territory of the Divine Tree.

No other overlord had ever managed to claim such a vast territory.

And the Divine Tree’s control over its domain was unprecedented.

The bear was intimidated, even afraid of the Divine Tree, but unwilling to submit to it.

So it chose to escape.

But as it tried to flee, two enormous figures appeared before it: a giant white serpent and a massive ape.

The bear’s escape route was blocked.

The giant serpent, giant ape, and mink were all powerful, but compared to the bear, they were much weaker.

In other places, the bear wouldn’t have given them a second thought.

But this was the Misty Forbidden Zone.

The giant serpent, giant ape, and Mink had lived here for a long time and were well-adapted to the environment.

In contrast, the bear was unfamiliar with the Misty Forbidden Zone, having entered only to avenge its child.

Here, its vision and senses were greatly impaired, weakening its strength significantly.

However, even now, the bear wasn’t ready to give up.

It still had thoughts of fighting its way out.

But this thought meant it had underestimated Su Mu.

By now, Su Mu had upgraded his Power of Mist to the fourth tier.

Additionally, he had the fourth-tier Phantom Snow Eyes.

Buzz!

The mist above suddenly began to swirl.

A moment later, the mist condensed into a pair of enormous eyes.

This was the power Su Mu had created by combining his fourth-tier Power of Mist with his fourth-tier Phantom Snow Eyes.

The closer to him, the stronger this technique’s power became.

At the edge of the Misty Forbidden Zone, Su Mu could also use this Phantom Snow Eyes, but its power would be almost negligible.

But here, only six miles from Su Mu, the power of the Phantom Snow Eyes was overwhelming.

‘What is that?’

Lin Che and Huang Shuling were terrified.

In the mist above, a pair of eyes as large as small ponds had appeared out of nowhere.

It was as if the eyes of the heavens had opened.

No, it felt more like the eyes of a demon god.

The scene was utterly horrifying. At the same time, the bear’s consciousness was instantly clouded.

The giant ape, giant serpent, and Mink didn’t miss this opportunity.

They severely injured the bear and then began dragging it away.

With Su Mu’s suppression, the bear couldn’t resist the spirit beasts.

Lin Che and Huang Shuling were frozen in place, not knowing how to react.

After a while, they noticed the talking Mink glance at them.

At that moment, they instinctively understood and obediently followed behind the mink.

They didn’t dare stay by the lake. There were too many spirit beasts there. They felt that if they stayed, they would be torn to shreds.

But the Mink could speak, indicating high intelligence, and perhaps they could negotiate with it.

Half an hour later.

The bear was brought before Su Mu.

It looked up at the figure in front of it and trembled.

Only when it was this close to Su Mu did the bear fully grasp his terrifying power.

This was definitely not a being it could contend with.

The enormous bear, which had looked like a small mountain, now lay on the ground as docile as a tame raccoon. The stark contrast in scenes made Lin Che and Huang Shuling feel like they were dreaming.

Then they looked at the ginkgo tree in front of them, their eyes filled with extreme shock.

With their cultivation levels, they couldn’t gauge the tree’s strength.

But from the bear’s behavior, they weren’t foolish; they knew this ginkgo tree was far more powerful than the bear.

And the bear was a second-tier upper-grade spirit beast.

So how terrifying was this ginkgo tree?

They didn’t even dare imagine.

They were certain that if the human leaders knew such a terrifying being was hidden within the Misty Forbidden Zone, it would cause an uproar.

Su Mu didn’t pay attention to the two humans for now.

His focus was on the bear.

[Species: Earthquake Bear]

[Height: 80 feet]

[Lifespan: 900 years]

[Grade: Second-tier Upper-grade]

[Abilities: Earth Force, Berserk Force]

Su Mu was pleased.

The bear’s abilities were very appealing to him.

He had encountered second-tier upper-grade spirit beasts before but hadn’t been interested in their abilities, so he had killed them.

But this Earthquake Bear, he definitely wanted to tame.

When deciding whether to tame a spirit beast, Su Mu never considered its cultivation level but rather its abilities.

If the abilities were useful to him, he kept it. If not, he killed it.

Su Mu immediately condensed a drop of Life Essence.

The Earthquake Bear’s eyes lit up, staring greedily at the green droplet in the air.

Its instincts told it that this was something valuable.

Su Mu didn’t tease it.

Buzz!

The Life Essence flew into the Earthquake Bear and merged with its body.

Afterward, the bear’s injuries began to heal at a visible rate.

Not only that, but its aura also subtly strengthened.

After absorbing the Life Essence, the bear looked at Su Mu again.

“There are rewards for merit and punishments for mistakes.”

Su Mu conveyed his rules to the Earthquake Bear.

The bear immediately bristled.

Its name included the word “berserk,” and its temperament was indeed fiery.

Even though it knew Su Mu was terrifying, the temptation of the Life Essence and its naturally violent nature made it reckless.

The next moment, it charged at Su Mu.

What met the bear’s charge was a branch from Su Mu.
