Since Su Xing took charge of Wanshou Building in the West District, under his deliberate control, the ginseng fruit market has gradually returned to normal.

It was so peaceful and uneventful that nearly half a year passed quickly.

During this period, although the sales volume of longevity medicine declined, Su Xing still collected a large amount of 'black silk thread' after a long period of accumulation.

His cultivation level is only one step away from breaking through to the late stage of foundation building...

…

On the lower level of the tree boundary, there is a fireworks place in the West District.

In the past six months or so, due to the emergence of life-span medicine, Qi Practitioner Qiao Bing's life has been much more comfortable than before.

——Compared with renting ginseng fruit, the life span medicine that can also increase the life span by one month can be purchased with only four spiritual stones.

In this way, there will be a surplus in the monthly income of the woodcutter.

This night, as usual, he planned to go to the "Wen Rui Building" on West District Street to have a good time...

On the road, a tall black figure suddenly stopped in front of Qiaobing.

"who?"

Seeing that the other party stopped him for no reason, Qiao Bing frowned and said: "Can't you see that I am a monk? If you know better, get out of here!"

"Roar...."

The black figure didn't say any words, but just let out a low roar like a wild beast.

This is probably a weirdo.

Although the tree world is protected by the spiritual light formation, very few monsters can invade it, but there are inevitably exceptions in everything.

Some monsters who are stronger or have special abilities can occasionally invade the interior of the spiritual light array.

Hearing the roar from the black shadow, Qiao Bing felt something bad in his heart.

He quickly stepped back, and after getting a good distance away from the monster, he patted the storage bag on his waist and took out an 'Aura of Spiritual Light' from it.

With the light emitted by the 'Spiritual Light Talisman', Qiao Cake quickly saw the dark shadow's face clearly:

This black figure is indeed not a human being, but a weird 'weird' creature with a humanoid outline but a snail's head.

This snail has two synapses on its head, and the two huge eyeballs at the end of the synapses are staring at the woodcutter in front of it.

This is a strange thing that has never appeared in the world of immortality.

At least in Qiao Cake's knowledge, he had never heard of such a weird thing with a snail's head.

Since it is a completely unfamiliar and strange thing, one cannot act rashly...

on the road.

Seeing that there was no movement in the snail's head, the woodcutter slowly backed away with extremely gentle movements.

During this period, he didn't dare to make any sound or move too much, for fear of alarming the monster that suddenly appeared.

"vomit!"

As the woodcutter retreated, the snail's head suddenly screamed strangely, and its entire body fell to the ground.

After the monster lay down, Qiao Cake discovered that there was a miniature version of ginseng fruit stamped on the back of the snail's head...

This strange scene made Qiao Cake have a guess in his mind:

Is it possible that this snail head that appeared out of thin air has some connection with the ginseng fruit of the tree world?

"vomit!"

At the same time that Qiao Cake had this idea, the snail's head roared again and shook its back in the direction of Qiao Cake.

With the shaking of the snail's head, the ginseng fruit on his back immediately flew towards the woodcutter cake and was firmly embedded in the woodcutter's back.

Feeling that there was something suddenly on his back, Qiao Bing looked horrified and tried every means to get the ginseng fruit off his back.

But the ginseng fruit seems to be growing on the back of Qiao Cake.

When Qiao Bing slashed at the ginseng fruit with his long sword, he felt an extremely severe pain in his back...

Not only that.

As if affected by the fruit of life, Qiao Cake's back stooped unconsciously, like an old man in his sixties.

His eyes became cloudy and his steps were not as brisk as before. At the same time, his mind was filled with a strange thought:

'I want to offer the ginseng fruit on this back!'

'I was born to support this ginseng fruit! I will only live for this ginseng fruit in my life!'

With this idea in mind, Qiao Bing kept pouring spiritual power into the ginseng fruit as he walked...

However, this did not satisfy him.

Not long after Qiaobing left, he met a watchman banging a gong on the side of the road.

When he saw a living person, he immediately felt a desire in his heart: ginseng fruit needs flesh and blood to be nourished, so he must kill the watchman.

No, that's not right.

To be precise, it was the ginseng fruit on his back that wanted to kill the watchman...

…

One month later.

The upper level of the tree world, inside the Wuzhuang Hall.

"well...."

Master Zhenyuan sighed.

He looked at the big bosses from the four districts, including Su Xing, in the hall, with a sad look on his face: "In the past month, there have been a lot of snail-like 'slave-seeking' monsters appearing in the lower levels of the tree world.

I wonder if you have thought of a way to deal with it?"

After hearing what Master Zhenyuan said, all the big guys lowered their heads, looked at their noses and hearts, and no one dared to look at the Master.

After a long time, a big guy walked out of the queue and said carefully: "Master, although the strength of the slave-seeking monks is average, a foundation-building monk can kill them, but the ginseng fruit on their backs is a bit difficult to deal with, and we can't do it at all."

Have no idea."

"really."

Seeing someone speaking up, another monk also echoed: "No matter how advanced we are, as long as we are hit by the ginseng fruit seeking slaves, we will immediately become a ginseng fruit slave and become a body that only knows how to nourish the ginseng fruit."

..Not to mention taking the initiative to deal with them. After we encounter slave-seeking slaves, whether we can escape is a question!"

Seeing everyone's expressions of embarrassment, Master Zhenyuan said feebly: "Actually, what you are saying is not on point. Although there is no solution to the ginseng fruit of Xunnu, there will only be one ginseng fruit on each Xunnu's back. At most, there is only one ginseng fruit.

It can harm a monk, and then he can be easily strangled."

He concluded: "The really troublesome thing is that slave-seeking is like weeds, which have appeared continuously in recent times... If we can't find out the source of slave-seeking as soon as possible, we will wait for the heaven to punish us.

All the slave-hunting slaves were turned into ginseng fruit slaves."

As soon as Zhenyuan Zhenren said this, all the monks agreed.

"That's right! The disaster of seeking slaves is far greater than that of wild beasts!"

"What the real person said makes sense! If we continue to think of ways to eliminate the slave-seeking slaves, then the next one to become a ginseng fruit slave may be all of you here!"

in the crowd.

Listening to the discussions of the monks and combining it with the information collected over the past few days, Su Xing had a rough understanding of the current situation:

First of all, slave hunters will only actively attack monks and will not be interested in mortals.

Because only monks can absorb the spiritual power between heaven and earth, or plunder mortal flesh and blood to provide ginseng fruit.

Secondly, the attack of Xunnu is almost indestructible. Any monk who is attacked will become a ginseng fruit slave no matter how high his level of cultivation is.

Of course.

Just because Slaves do not attack mortals does not mean that mortals will not suffer disaster.

The monks who were turned into slaves of ginseng fruits would actively attack mortals almost every once in a while in order to have enough flesh and blood to support the ginseng fruits.

The monks who were transformed into ginseng fruit slaves often had much higher combat power than monks of the same level due to the blessing of the ginseng fruit on their backs.

Coupled with the fact that the slave monks are extremely vigilant and their number is continuously growing, their number has a tendency to overwhelm the normal monks.

Not only that.

The appearance of the slave monks also caused panic in the entire tree world, and mortals no longer dared to go out at night.
