Life Talisman Incantation · Bronze Tree (1/3)

Unsurprisingly, Shanzhu became the only human allowed to step onto the "Fish Bridge".

I walked cautiously on that "living bridge" made up of countless fish.

Shanzhu was afraid that he might slip and fall into Yunmeng Marsh if he wasn't careful.

"Don't be afraid, you won't fall into the water."

Seemingly sensing the Shanzhu's tension, the spider woman, who was swimming alongside it in the water, smiled—a rare occurrence for her.

"Cai Gu is the guardian deity of this waterway, not one of those suppressed Ghost God— "

"She possesses complete divine Divine Power; even if you were to fall into the water, these fish would lift you up."

Upon hearing what the Spider Woman said...

Shanzhu managed to calm himself down, but a hint of curiosity still lingered in his mind.

Regarding the suppression of countless Ghost God in Yunmeng Marsh.

While not all the Mountain Folk living in the Baidiqun area may know this, it is common knowledge that everyone in Li Household Village knows.

"Didn't he leave Yunmeng Marsh?"

According to the inherent logic of the Shanzhu, a deity like Cai Gu should voluntarily stay away from Yunmeng Marsh.

Shanzhu- no-Kashi was utterly baffled by the fact that, instead of leaving, he had become the guardian of this body of water.

Why leave Yunmeng Marsh?

The coldness on her face had long since melted away, and the Spider Woman asked in a slightly playful tone.

"Including you, everyone thought Yunmeng Marsh was a den of dragons and tigers, but is that really the case?"

"Set aside your guardedness born of ignorance and fear; the master of Yunmeng Marsh may be greater than you imagine."

Shanzhu blinked involuntarily, but did not press the matter further.

He suddenly remembered a rumor that was circulating secretly in Li Household Village.

The master of Yunmeng Marsh, the Red-Haired Ghost God, the Celestial Person Descended into the World, may well be the Son of the Mountain God is revered as the "Mountain Folk Prophet."

Shanzhu may not be the most intelligent, but he is very steady in character.

Shanzhu did not intend to spy on information and intelligence that was clearly beyond his reach.

Sometimes ignorance is a form of self-protection.

How long do I have to walk like this?

Unable to see clearly in front, behind, left, or right, one can only keep moving forward along the fish bridge beneath one's feet.

With a more relaxed mindset, Shanzhu gradually began to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Yunmeng Marsh, a place rarely visited by people.

"We're almost there."

After circling the Shanzhu twice, the Spider Woman suddenly pointed ahead and said...

"Look, that's our destination ahead— Bronze Island, a place specifically for planting Bronze Tree."

Looking in that direction, the first thing that catches Shanzhu eye is a movable island.

The island was also shrouded in mist, with only the dazzling light reflecting off it visible.

"That's Bronze Island?"

He instinctively covered his eyes, Shanzhu face filled with shock.

Anyone seeing an island made entirely of metal would have a similar expression to Shanzhu.

Moreover, the Bronze Island was slowly moving in the lake, creating visible ripples around it.

"Everyone who comes here for the first time has a similar expression to yours---"

With a faint smile on her face, the Spider Woman said this as if it were commonplace.

"However, what you are about to see is the real miracle."

With the help of the fish and the Spider Woman, the Shanzhu successfully reached Bronze Island.

Then, he was once again shocked by what he saw.

On this Bronze Island, real Bronze Tree take root in the ground, their entire bodies radiating a blue light.

Just like real trees.

These Bronze Tree, rooted in the metallic Earth Veins, are able to absorb sunlight and grow little by little.

"Those are all just words?"

Looking at the Speech Talisman Incantation on those Bronze Tree, Shanzhu clearly felt that they were much more complex than those on the Bronze Beast.

It was under the Speech Talisman Incantation that these Bronze Tree became as lifelike as the trees in the outside world, giving people a feeling of vitality.

"Yes, these are all naturally growing Life Talisman Incantation."

"See the fruit on the tree? That's the Bronze Beast you need."

I walked up to a Bronze Tree.

The Spider Woman pointed to a bronze fruit on the tree.

The fruit emitted a bluish light, and although the inscriptions on it were not as complex as those on the Bronze Tree, they still subtly formed a perfect cycle.

"That's the Bronze Beast?"

Eyes widened in disbelief.

Shanzhu's limited knowledge made it impossible for him to imagine how these fruits could have transformed into Bronze Beast.

Fortunately, the Spider Woman didn't intend to keep everyone in suspense. Instead, she gently tapped the Bronze Tree, as if she were knocking on a door.

"Sixty-seventh Sister."

"I'm here to collect the Bronze Beast. Please pick out a Fang Boar- shaped Bronze Beast for me."

Under the astonished gaze of the Shanzhu, a palm-sized blue spider slowly crawled out of the tree hole.

Judging from the spider's color and appearance, it is clear that it belongs to the same kind of creature as the "Bronze Beast".

However, compared to the Bronze Beast that the Shanzhu touched.

This bronze spider not only possesses complete self-awareness, but its very existence is symbiotic with this Bronze Tree.

"Eleventh Sister, how long has it been since you last visited me?"

"Every time you come here, you only pick out the defective products. If you do this again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

The bronze spider spoke in a childish voice, its tone full of coquettishness and complaint.

"Alright, alright, I didn't come all this way for nothing. Look what this is!"

They were clearly already used to the presence of the Bronze Spider.

The Spider Woman skillfully pulled a struggling mouse from her spider pouch.

"Ah! It's alive! And it's my favorite food, a mouse!"

Upon seeing this, the bronze spider immediately became excited and spun out its silk to entangle the mouse.

The next second, the struggling mouse was dragged into the tree hole with lightning speed.

"Since you still remember what I like to eat, I won't make things difficult for you!"

Without even glancing at the Shanzhu, the bronze spider nimbly knocked down a bronze fruit next to it!

Accompanied by the sound of fruit falling to the ground.

The nearby metallic soil immediately surged together like waves.

In an instant, the words on the fruit spread onto the metallic soil, eventually forming a complete Bronze Beast.

The whole process took no more than three seconds, leaving Shanzhu speechless once again.

"That's it?"

Unable to resist glancing at the Bronze Tree laden with fruit, Shanzhu felt a strange sense of awe.

He simply couldn't imagine what an exaggerated scene it would be if all those fruits could transform into Bronze Beast.
