Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming-Chapter 674 - 346 - : The Deer’s Cry for Subscription
In the forest ablaze with roaring flames, Zhou Chun hid under the ashes of a burned area, his eyes filled with surprise and suspicion.
Just moments ago, when he attempted to capture the Wood Charm, he was shocked to find that the aura of the Wood Charm was constantly strengthening, now comparable to a third-order Demon Beast.
Upon realizing this, he hurriedly stopped his actions and found this place to hide.
A third-order Wood Charm was definitely not a target he could capture, he was very clear on that.
However, Zhou Chun was even clearer that the Wood Charm could not possibly have possessed the strength of a third-order Demon Beast before.
Otherwise, a mere Huang Family would never dare to covet it.
It must be noted that in this forest, the strength of Wood Charms is greatly enhanced, much like Flood Dragons in the water, or even more exaggerated.
Even a third-order, low-grade Demon Beast-level Wood Charm was not something that Huang Family Cultivator at the mid-stage of Purple Mansion could capture.
So, there was something very wrong with the current state of the Wood Charm!
Considering this, Zhou Chun decisively stopped his actions and chose to hide on the spot.
He carefully recalled the situation of the Wood Charm he had seen just now, quickly grasping the shimmer of greenish light.
"Could it be the essence of plant life that had been stripped of their vitality? So, is it these things that are temporarily enhancing the cultivation strength of the Wood Charm?"
A look of surprise and suspicion flashed in Zhou Chun's eyes, and he couldn't help but recall the information about Wood Charms in the classics.
However, perhaps due to the special nature of this kind of Spirit Monster, Zhou Chun found after recalling the records in various classics that the descriptions of the Wood Charm's Divine Skills were not completely consistent.
In some classics, Wood Charms were masters of illusion arts, able to transform into birds and beasts to conceal themselves, even taking human form to interact with people.
Yet in other classics, Wood Charms were fierce creatures, sucking the essence blood of birds, beasts, and even cultivators, turning the souls of cultivators into ghostly servants.
Further, in some classics, Wood Charms were described as kind and loving Demon Beasts, possessing exquisite healing arts, treating injured demon beasts and wild animals in the forest and gaining their protection.
In some classics, senior cultivators have made speculations about the various rumors about Wood Charms, believing that the reason for the great differences in the Divine Skills and temperaments of Wood Charms might be related to the ancient trees that nurtured them and their growth experiences.
The Wood Charms that like to suck the blood of birds and cultivators may originate from a Blood Sucking Vine or a Bloodthirsty Tree.
The Wood Charms that turn the souls of cultivators into ghostly servants might come from Ghost Locust Wood, or Yin Soul Wood.
This speculation seems reasonable, but in the absence of corroborating evidence, it remains just that—a speculation.
However, if one follows this line of thought, the Wood Charm Zhou Chun has now encountered, able to temporarily enhance its own cultivation by absorbing the essence of other plants, might also be related to its original form.
This made Zhou Chun even more curious about what kind of tree its original form could be.
And just as Zhou Chun was surprised by the changes in the Wood Charm, the Huang Family Cultivators who saw the Messenger Firework also rushed over, including the mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator from the Huang Family.
However, when this Supreme Elder of the Huang Family arrived at the scene and saw the Azure Deer creating a firebreak, his expression changed slightly as he quickly discerned the change in its aura and cultivation level.
"What happened? When did this Wood Charm advance to become a third-order Demon Beast?"
Huang Boxiong's face showed shock as he looked at the Wood Charm, immediately turning to the Huang Family Cultivator who had first discovered the Wood Charm to demand an explanation.
Upon hearing this, the Huang Family Cultivator hurriedly protested his innocence, "Supreme Elder, please discern the truth, this junior also didn't know, after finding it I sent out the signal, and then all I saw was it running around putting out fires!"
"Is that so?"
Huang Boxiong glanced at the Wood Charm, whose aura was still increasing, and seemed to have realized the reason for the enhancement of its cultivation.
After pondering for a moment, he immediately ordered, "Go, start a few more fires in there, I want to see how it will manage to save itself!"
"Yes."
Several Huang Family Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage immediately accepted the order, spreading out and starting more fires behind the firebreak.
Such vile behavior naturally infuriated the Azure Deer.

Yo—
The crisp and ethereal call of the deer reverberated through the sky above the forest—the child of the forest had been completely enraged!
But at a glimpse of green light, the figure of the Azure Deer instantly vanished from its original spot.
Then, a green glow emerged above an ancient tree below a Huang Family Cultivator returning to Huang Boxiong, and the figure of the Azure Deer appeared.
This is bad!
Huang Boxiong's expression changed; he had already realized what was about to happen when the Azure Deer's figure disappeared.
But he had sent out three people to set the fire, and he didn't know whom the Azure Deer would choose to attack.
By the time he noticed the figure of the Azure Deer and wanted to rescue, it was already too late.
The Azure Deer, now visible again, raised its head and spat out. A cyan-green wooden spike shot violently towards the Huang Family Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.
It seemed to be a very rudimentary "Wood Spike Technique."
But in reality, the Huang Family Cultivator at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment had no defense against this wooden spike.
The second-order Defensive Dharma Artifact shield he had summoned was easily pierced by the spike, torn into shreds, followed by his body being penetrated, and he fell on the spot!
"Dehai!!"
Huang Boxiong called out the name of the fallen with an ugly expression, but alas, the younger man could no longer hear it.
