I Trust You'll Be Happy to Help, Right?

The wind blew sharp beneath the high sky, while apes howled and birds cried mournfully.

The entire Pine Needle Forest stretched for no one knew how many li. Massive dark-green pines rose up to prop the heavens, blocking out most of the sky and leaving this Pine Needle Forest dim and damp all year round.

"This Nine Wind Daoist really knew how to pick a place."

Chen Zhixing shook his head, spreading his Divine Sense outward as he searched for the Tomb of Nine Wind Daoist section by section.

He had already been in this Pine Needle Forest for three two-hour periods.

During these three two-hour periods, Chen Zhixing's vast Divine Sense had spread swiftly across the land like a dragnet.

However, this Pine Needle Forest was simply too large. If he kept searching like this, it would take at least three days.

"No. This is far too inefficient."

Chen Zhixing stopped walking, his brows knitting slightly.

In the plot of "Great Cultivation" in his previous life, the Spider Web Organization's assassination attempt against the Chen Family happened after the trial ended.

That meant there were still five days until the trial ended.

But... he also could not guarantee whether the plot in this life would differ.

If the Spider Web Organization acted early, then everything would be too late.

Therefore, he had to obtain the "Nine Gods Method" as quickly as possible to prevent any accidents.

Just as Chen Zhixing's gaze kept flickering—

In the distance, beneath the thick carpet of fallen pine needles and dead leaves, the ground suddenly heaved.

A Black Giant Python more than ten zhang long slowly raised its head.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~"

It lightly flicked out its forked tongue, its pair of Golden Vertical Pupils giving off a cold, sinister gleam.

Chh.

The next moment—

It lowered its head and hid beneath the dead leaves once more, swiftly slithering soundlessly toward Chen Zhixing.

Closer.

Closer still.

In little more than a dozen breaths, the Black Giant Python had arrived ten zhang behind Chen Zhixing.

All it needed to do was open its mouth, and it could swallow the human youth before it in one bite.

BOOM!!! In an instant, it shot up from the ground, madness bursting in its eyes, and opened its jaws to bite down viciously at Chen Zhixing! "I'll eat you!!!"

A foul, fishy gust howled. Inside its mouth, rows upon rows of sharp, densely packed teeth could be seen! Bang!!! A fair, slender, broad hand with distinct knuckles smashed down directly onto the Black Giant Python's head.

The Black Giant Python only felt as if a great mountain had come crashing down upon it; its head felt like it was about to explode! "Awooo~~."

The Black Giant Python barely had time to let out a wail before its body went limp and collapsed.

Chen Zhixing turned around and looked at this Nourishing Spirit Realm demon, rubbing his chin slightly.

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed his mind.

"Got it."

Chen Zhixing smiled faintly, then turned and looked across the entire Pine Needle Forest.

He slowly inhaled, and five hundred Acupoints all over his body abruptly began to light up with threads of starlike dawn radiance.

"Young Master, what are you...?" Sword Spirit Qing Zhi was somewhat at a loss.

Wasn't Young Master looking for a tomb?

What was he planning to do now? While she was still puzzled—

"Ox Demon Star Shattering!!!"

Chen Zhixing raised his right arm and smashed his fist viciously into the ground.

Moo—! A deep, muffled bellow of an ox demon roaring to the heavens instantly rang out from within Chen Zhixing's body.

BOOM!!! It was like mountains exploding, like thunder roaring.

An earth-shattering blast spread out, deafening.

Chen Zhixing's fist slammed into the ground, and the entire earth shook madly.

Cracks as thick as arms, centered on the spot where Chen Zhixing's fist had landed, rapidly spread in all directions.

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit! Awoo, awoo, awoo! Roar, roar, roar!!

The demons living in this Pine Needle Forest—some sleeping, some hunting—were all startled in an instant.

The weaker demons immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling, thinking that a heavenly disaster had descended.

As for some powerful demons, anger instantly surfaced on their faces, and they immediately rushed toward Chen Zhixing's location.

In the blink of an eye...

Throughout the entire Pine Needle Forest, a hundred beasts were startled into motion.

A giant ape with eight arms, its black fur bristling like steel needles, walked out from a cave.

"Damned human!"

It looked in Chen Zhixing's direction, then strode off, running toward him.

With every step it took, it stamped a huge footprint-shaped pit into the ground.

There was also an azure flying bird, originally feeding in the crown of a tree, but the violent shaking instantly jolted the food hanging in the canopy loose, sending it tumbling down.

Screech!!

It immediately spread both wings, which stretched over a dozen zhang, blotting out the sky and sun as it dived toward where Chen Zhixing was.

Its wings were like flying swords that could slice through iron as if it were mud; one towering pine after another was cut clean through like tofu under a knife.

There was also a huge golden toad, its entire body covered in bulges the size of heads, leaping up from a Poisonous Pool.

Chen Zhixing slowly straightened, and with a casual sweep of his gaze, he could see great numbers of demonic beasts hurrying in his direction.

Chen Zhixing could not help nodding in satisfaction.

"Young Master, what are you trying to do?" Sword Spirit Qing Zhi was dumbstruck, completely unable to guess Chen Zhixing's thoughts.

"I just feel that searching for the tomb mound by myself is too troublesome. Why not have these friends come help?" Chen Zhixing said with a smile.

"I believe they'll certainly be happy to lend a hand."

Sword Spirit Qing Zhi: "."

Immediately after, Chen Zhixing sat down cross-legged and waited quietly.

About the time it took an incense stick to burn later.

A Striped Great Tiger of the Nourishing Spirit Realm came surging over. He glanced at Chen Zhixing, who sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a look of contempt immediately appeared in those tiger eyes.

The next moment.

He opened his huge mouth and bit toward Chen Zhixing.

Bang—! Chen Zhixing struck down with a palm through the air, and that Striped Great Tiger instantly dropped to his knees on the ground as if Mount Tai had come crashing down on him, trembling all over.

One hour later.

In front of Chen Zhixing, over a hundred Great Demons were already prostrated on the ground.

Seven of the Eight-Armed Giant Ape's arms had been torn off alive, leaving him with only one arm to cover his face as he carefully stole glances at Chen Zhixing.

The Azure Divine Bird was even worse off. All the feathers on its body had been plucked clean, and its pair of sharp eagle eyes were already filled with dullness and bewilderment.

As for that Nine-Boil Toad, he was croaking gua gua gua as he performed a water-spraying act.

There was also a Giant Bear, known as the king of this Pine Needle Forest. She had always been unruly and untamed, but at this moment, she stood upright like a human, her entire bear face piled with smiles as she looked at Chen Zhixing.

She carefully spread both hands, revealing some melons and fruits in her palms, and said with a fawning smile:

"Little Senior, these are my melons. Sweet and crisp. Please try them."

Chen Zhixing casually picked up a fragrant pear and took a bite. Sure enough, it was both fragrant and sweet.

"Mm. I still prefer how unruly and untamed you looked at the start."

Thinking of this Giant Bear's arrogant appearance just now, Chen Zhixing could not help saying with a beaming smile.

"Little Senior, don't wrong me! I'm an honest bear!" The Giant Bear's expression changed when she heard this, and she hurriedly made the smile on her face a few degrees more attentive.

Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the ground full of Great Demon corpses behind Chen Zhixing, and her heart could not help shivering.

Who the hell would dare not be honest?! As soon as these words fell.

The other Great Demons also hurriedly chimed in:

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! We're all honest demons!"

"Little Senior, helping the needy is what I love most!"

"Little Senior, don't be fooled just because I'm a wolf spirit. I'm vegetarian!"

"Little Senior, I, the Eight-Armed Ape, have sworn irreconcilable hatred against those vicious demons and monsters in this life!"

"To be honest, Little Senior, don't be fooled just because I'm a tiger spirit, but I've never eaten people! I just don't understand it. Human flesh is sour and awful, so what's so tasty about it?"

One Ape Spirit after another, along with Giant Wolf Spirits, Toad Spirits, and Rat Spirits, all squeezed what they considered their most harmless smiles onto their savage, ferocious faces, frantically releasing their desire to survive.

"Don't be nervous. I sought you out only because I sincerely want to ask you for a favor."

Chen Zhixing casually tossed the fragrant pear in his hand onto the ground, then spoke with a half-smile:

"I'll give you one hour to find a human tomb mound in this place for me."

"I believe that since you're all so honest, you'll certainly be happy to help and find it for me, right?"
