3: willow

He turned his head to look, but where was the person!?

At this moment, Wang Feng had already walked to another part of the village and carefully examined the large willow tree in front of him for a while.

Wang Feng discovered that this large willow tree actually possessed some divinity; it should be the so-called village guardian god.

Willow Tree

Identity: Liu Ling's Divided Soul

Realm: Spirit Gathering Realm Ninth Layer

Natal Weapon: Willow Branch.

Liu Ling's Divided Soul, who is Liu Ling? Wang Feng stated that he had never heard of this name.

Even in his previous eight lives, he had never heard of this name, so it seemed this willow tree was extraordinary.

At this moment, the large willow tree extended a willow branch and slowly lowered it behind Wang Feng.

Wang Feng was not polite and sat directly on it; he could tell that this willow tree had no ill intentions.

The willow branch slowly retracted, bringing Wang Feng onto the tree trunk, and also enveloped Wang Feng with a layer of green spiritual energy.

This was a small opportunity.

Wang Feng rejoiced in his heart and quickly circulated the Chaotic Overlord Body Technique to cultivate.

Body Tempering Fourth Layer.

Body Tempering Fifth Layer.

Body Tempering Sixth Layer......

His realm soared all the way to Body Tempering Ninth Layer before stopping; the Body Tempering Realm was the weakest realm in the Cultivation World.

For people like Wang Feng who possessed Emperor-level cultivation techniques, promotion was truly too easy.

"Thank you, may I ask if you have any requests?"

Wang Feng asked in the language of the Heavenly Cang Continent; he did not believe that this willow tree would give him such an opportunity for no reason.

The willow tree extended its branch, sending Wang Feng back to the ground, and began writing on the ground.

"I hope you can help find some food for the people in the village, that's all."

Wang Feng read the words on the ground one by one; this willow tree truly was the guardian god of the village.

"Alright."

Wang Feng responded.

"Hey! Young man, how was it? What did Willow God tell you?"

At this moment, the village chief, Mo Lei, after searching for a while, finally found Wang Feng by the willow tree.

"It allowed me to raise my realm a bit. I will find some food for you all later, and then I will leave."

Hearing Wang Feng's words, Mo Lei shed tears and knelt before the large willow tree, bowing for a while.

"Willow God, it's a pity you cannot move, otherwise we could migrate."

Village Chief Mo Lei mumbled choked up as he bowed; the reason they refused to leave was because Willow God was there.

It had already protected the village for several generations, and the people in the village would rather die than abandon it.

There was also a hunting team in the village, with the highest cultivation at Gathering Spirit First Layer.

However, that Gathering Spirit First Layer had not returned for several days, presumably having been torn apart by the evil spirits of the night.

The remaining hunting team was also nowhere to be found; one returned, but he was severely injured and is still unconscious.

This was also why most of the people in the village were emaciated; without a hunting team, they had been hungry for a long time.

The willow tree extended a branch and touched Village Chief Mo Lei's head. In its eyes, this old man had also knelt before it in the same way decades ago.

Only then, his face was smiling, looking very happy.

"Young man, come with me."

Mo Lei stood up and pulled Wang Feng away, leaving the large willow tree swaying in the wind, with no one around, appearing somewhat desolate.

"Young man, you don't have to listen to Willow God and help us find food. Don't risk your life."

Mo Lei pulled Wang Feng far away from the willow tree before stopping and speaking.

"Tomorrow morning, you should find your way and leave!"

Village Chief Mo Lei waved his hand and turned to leave, his hunched back appearing somewhat sorrowful.

"Are all the people in this village so simple and honest?"

Wang Feng stood in place, watching his departing back, and couldn't help but murmur.

He was determined to find this food, not only for the willow tree but now even more so for these simple villagers.

Wang Feng returned to the willow tree, intending to make do with spending the night there.

At night, a green barrier rose around the village, isolating it from the outside.

"Willow God~, Willow God~"

At this moment, a faint child's voice suddenly came from under the tree, very small, as if very afraid of being heard.

"Willow God~, can you let me sit and swing again?"

The little girl touched the willow tree with an extremely faint whisper.

The willow tree could not speak, but the extended branch had already proven its response.

"Hehe~, thank you, Willow God~"

The little girl giggled twice, sat on the branch, and the willow tree also urged the branch to sway gently.

Wang Feng looked at the little girl and found it incredibly strange. Why were most of the people in her village so frail, while she was no different from a normal child?

However, Wang Feng did not ask the little girl, and the little girl also did not notice that there was someone on the large willow tree.

Wang Feng crossed his arms and leaned against the willow tree, falling asleep on his own.

"Willow God~, I'm leaving~, otherwise my mother will scold me again~"

The little girl said goodbye to Willow God with a reluctant tone, and Willow God also extended a branch and waved.

.......

A night passed.

The people in the village came out to fetch water, but this time there was an additional scene: a group of children in the village were playing 'throw stones'.

However, their movements seemed very restrained; they dared not play too wildly.

Wang Feng jumped off the willow tree and walked towards them, asking, "Why are your movements so strange?"

The children were a little wary when they saw a stranger, but seeing that Wang Feng made no hostile moves, they answered him.

"Because we want our father and mother to suffer less."

One child wiped the snot from his nose and replied.

"Suffer?"

"Yes, my father and mother already have quite large missing parts on their bodies. The more tired we play, the hungrier we get."

When Wang Feng heard this, his mind immediately clicked. This was... cutting flesh to feed their children!

Had this village reached such a state?

Wang Feng felt around on his body, but unfortunately, there was nothing; he couldn't give these children anything.

He had a habit of giving small gifts to children he liked.

"Big brother will let you eat truly delicious, fragrant meat later, okay?"

Wang Feng spoke in a tone to coax children, and the children's eyes lit up, not doubting the truth of his words in the slightest.

"Really? Can my father and mother eat first?"

"Haha, don't worry, everyone will be able to eat."

Wang Feng chatted with them for a few more sentences, and from their expressions, he could tell how long they had been hungry.

"Someone fainted! Someone fainted!"

At this moment, a noisy sound came from not far away, and all those children also ran over. Vaguely, one could still hear cries of "Mother!"

Wang Feng looked at the scene and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The Cultivation World is bitter, the Cultivation World is difficult.

Those who lived in the prosperous eras on Blue Star were undoubtedly the happiest.

He stepped forward and turned to leave the village, wearing the novice clothes that came with his resurrection.

In a simple green robe, with long hair reaching his waist, he looked like a graceful young master with a scholarly aura.

Upon reaching outside the village, Wang Feng began to make marks, so he wouldn't accidentally get lost.

It sounded easy, but actually catching demonic beasts or wild beasts was truly difficult; just finding them was a troublesome matter.

Wang Feng ran across tree after tree for an unknown amount of time.

Standing high and seeing far allowed him to catch some small wild beasts.

Actually, one point had always puzzled him: why didn't the people in the village come out to find food themselves?

Was there some reason?

What Wang Feng didn't know was that the only person in the village with cultivation and still able to move was the village chief.

However, it had to be said that the demonic beasts and wild beasts here were truly hard to find. He had already made countless marks.

He had only managed to catch two rabbits, one flying beast, and some bird eggs.

At this moment, the scorching sun was already directly overhead, and even with Wang Feng's Body Tempering Ninth Layer cultivation, he was covered in sweat from running.

His simple green robe was already torn in a large section, and that large section of green robe was used by him to tie and carry the two rabbits and the flying beast.

As for the bird eggs? He directly stuffed them into the rabbits' rear ends.

He then took some cloth to block the rabbits' rear ends, which also solved the problem of carrying the bird eggs.

Shua~

Wang Feng looked at the circular teleportation gate forming in front of him with some caution.

This should be someone whose teleportation array went awry and was sent here.
