This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1236 - 552

Alas, at this time, the corpse was still a "corpse," lifeless, breathless, and cold; if it must be described, it was merely a walking dead.

Using the Omniscient Crystal to check the status of the corpse, Mu You quickly realized that the problem lay in the lifespan.

The Resurrection Coffin was effective even for creatures from the Star Spirit World, but in the Real World, where the concept of lifespan was non-existent, any dead body placed inside could be resurrected.

However, resurrection in the Star Spirit World required not only the revival of the body but also a remaining lifespan.

This was similar to the second wish he had made to the Lamp God—the only ones who could be resurrected were those who died unexpectedly in places like Earth where resurrection was not possible, not from natural depletion of lifespan.

Vivian had originally committed suicide in the Star Spirit World. Naturally, she had exhausted her lifespan before dying; otherwise, she wouldn’t have died.

Now, to resurrect Vivian would be impossible unless he could find a way to infuse lifespan into the corpse.

"Infusing lifespan... probably can only wait until we find the World-Creating Mountain..."

Mu You murmured.

This was completely beyond the current mechanism of the Star Spirit World; aside from finding the root server, Mu You could think of no other method.

"There’s no need to trouble yourself; I never thought about resurrection before I died. I’m quite satisfied with my current state." Seeing Mu You still deep in thought, Vivian spoke up.

Vivian didn’t care much, but Mu You, as a disciple, couldn’t possibly take her words at face value. If he found a chance in the future, he would definitely give it a try.

Setting this aside for now, Mu You put away the Blood Coffin and began to talk about the Forest Spirit.

"The Forest Spirit, huh..."

Vivian pondered for a moment and then flew onto Mu You’s shoulder, "I’ll personally go with you."

"Alright."

Mu You nodded and took out the card that held the "door."

This trip to visit the Forest Spirit wasn’t just to claim a task reward but more importantly, to prove his ability to cleanse the pollution and see if he could secure more Forest Spirit Cores. This definitely required him to go in person.

Next, Lin Xue found a hidden basement in the manor, and Mu You opened the door there, entering with Vivian.

Half an hour later, the two appeared in the Black Forest.

The last time he was here was three months ago; at that time, the Black Forest had just been devastated by a great fire, devoid of life for miles around.

Now, merely three months later, the woodland had sprung back to life. Buds emerged from barren branches, tinting the ground with green. Although not yet fully revitalized as woodland, one could already see the makings of a forest, believing that soon, it would return to its thriving state.

"It’s over there."

Vivian took off first, heading toward a direction in the forest.

Mu You didn’t know how she identified the direction, but he followed anyway.

Moments later, the two arrived in front of a small burrow, as narrow as an arm’s width, resembling a rabbit hole.

Vivian signaled that the Forest Spirit was inside.

Without hesitation, Mu You directly used a spell to tunnel into the ground.

After navigating a narrow path initially, the space below soon opened up.

A minute later, Mu You landed underground.

Below, the floor was covered with colorful mushrooms while countless plant roots intertwined above, adorned with many purple luminescent stones.

In the dim purple light, a clear spring full of vitality stood, where a familiar Canary perched, pecking at the water to drink.

"Chirp chirp!"

The Canary noticed the newcomer, tilting its head and eyeing Mu You curiously, its eyes lively.

Mu You beckoned, and the Canary flew onto his finger.

Looking at the bird in his hand, Mu You’s expression was odd.

This bird was the body he had initially prepared for Vivian. Vivian had later transferred into Crow’s body, and with the help of the Forest Spirit, this bird had come back to life. When Mu You was about to leave last time, this little fella had vanished.

Mu You had thought that after such a long time, this little one would have died; yet, here it was, still lively.

Mu You glanced at the Fountain of Youth on the ground. The spring had the power to halt lifespan loss, likely because the little one had stayed beside the water, preventing it from being affected by the "door."

"Where’s the Forest Spirit?" Mu You asked the Canary perched on his finger.

As if understanding human speech, the Canary immediately flew beside the spring and pecked fiercely at a stick protruding abruptly from the ground.

Following the bird’s actions, the entire burrow suddenly trembled. Then, the "stick" began to rise on its own, with deer-antler-like branches below it, leading further down to a head and a wooden torso...

Dozens of seconds later, a deer-like Forest Spirit crawled out from below.

"Vivian? So it’s you who have come..."

The Forest Spirit’s voice was groggy, seemingly just awoken. It shook its head to clear it, then looked towards Mu You’s left hand.

At this moment, Mu You had already taken out the Forest Spirit Core.

The Forest Spirit stretched a branch from the ground to Mu You’s front.

Mu You placed the core on the branch.

The branch withdrew to the Forest Spirit’s side, as the Forest Spirit stared at the core engulfed in dark mist, its voice trembling.
