Moreover, judging from the fact that the two were standing side by side, it seemed that they had just come out of a cave together, and their relationship seemed to be quite familiar.
In an instant, Yan Lingji felt as if a jar of vinegar had been overturned in her heart, leaving her feeling sour and jealous.
[Baiyue-Yan Lingji]: "(Dangerous look in her eyes) Oh~ Little Shi Hao, when did you get another pretty girl by your side? Who is this girl? She's really pretty, can you introduce her?"
Her tone was tinged with laughter, but those who knew her well could detect a hint of murderous intent hidden within it.
Shi Hao was introducing the scenery of Baiduan Mountain to the viewers in the live stream when he was suddenly taken aback by Yan Lingji's obviously jealous comment.
He then realized that he seemed to have forgotten to tell the group about meeting Huo Ling'er.
However, he didn't pay much attention and casually explained, "Oh, you mean her? Her name is Huo Ling'er, she's the princess of the Fire Kingdom, and she just went treasure hunting with me."
"The Fire Kingdom's princess?"
"Treasure hunting?"
The goddesses in the group reacted in various ways upon hearing this.
[Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong]: "Princess? Wow! Little brother, you're amazing! You even know a princess! This Sister Huo Ling'er looks very pretty too!"
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "The Fire Kingdom... seems to be a powerful ancient kingdom in the Desolate Region? Being able to befriend such a force would be good for young friend Shi Hao's future development."
[Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi]: "..."
[The quick-witted Feng Baobao]: "Oh, a princess. Can she cook? Can she breastfeed?"
Yes, Bao'er's focus is still on surprises.
Yan Lingji felt even worse after seeing Shi Hao's nonchalant explanation.
【Baiyue-Yan Lingji】: "Hmph! So what if she's the princess of the Fire Kingdom? Little Shi Hao, don't be fooled by her appearance! The prettier a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive you! You'd better watch out!"
As soon as she said that, a strong smell of jealousy filled the live broadcast room.
Shi Hao looked at the comments and was both amused and exasperated.
Why is Sister Yan acting like a protective kitten?
However, he knew that Yan Lingji was just like that, so he didn't argue with her. Instead, he decided to take practical actions to "appease" the sisters in the group.
"Alright, alright, Sister Yan, don't be angry." Shi Hao said telepathically in the group chat, "Just looking at the scenery is no fun. I just killed a few blind ferocious beasts and found some good spiritual herbs. I'll send out a few red envelopes for you sisters to try!"
As he spoke, he took the most precious parts of the saber-toothed tigers, pangolins and other ferocious beasts he had killed earlier, as well as some rare spiritual herbs he had picked near the Divine Cave, divided them into several portions, and sent them out in the form of red envelopes!
[Ding! Group member [Desolate Emperor] sent a group red envelope to all members!] x5
The moment the red envelope was sent out, the atmosphere in the group changed instantly!
Wow! Red envelopes! Five of them!
"Hurry, grab it! Hurry, grab it!"
The goddesses (including the still jealous Yan Lingji) immediately transformed into experts at grabbing red envelopes!
[Ding! Congratulations to group member [Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong] for successfully grabbing a serving of "Sabertooth Tiger Hind Leg Meat from the Cave Heaven Realm"!]
[Ding! Congratulations to group member [Baiyue-Yanlingji] for winning a bottle of "Millennium Stone Milk Essence"!]
[Ding! Congratulations to group member [Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun] for successfully obtaining a "Leopard Bone Containing Wind Runes"!]
[Ding! Congratulations to group member [Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi] for successfully acquiring three "Mind-Concentrating Grass" stalks!]
[Ding! Congratulations to group member [Clever Feng Baobao] for successfully grabbing a large piece of "Pangolin Muscle Board"!]
The goddesses who managed to grab the red envelopes were overjoyed to see the Baiduanshan specialties that appeared out of nowhere in front of them, radiating rich energy or a strange medicinal fragrance!
[Peach Blossom Island Master - Huang Rong]: "Wow! What a big piece of meat! This aroma... is even purer than last time! Little brother, you've been hunting again? That's fantastic! Let me figure out how to cook it to make it the most delicious!"
【Baiyue-Yan Lingji】: "Stone Milk Essence? This is a wonderful thing! It beautifies the skin and increases power! Hehe~ Thank you, Little Shi Hao~"
[Yunlan Sect Master - Yun Yun]: "Wind runes? The fragments of laws contained within this bone are so clear! If I can comprehend even a fraction of them, it will greatly benefit my understanding of wind-based combat techniques! Thank you, young friend Shi Hao!"
[Qingyun Sect - Lu Xueqi]: "The Concentration Grass... is of excellent age and full of spiritual energy, which can help me to calm my mind and cultivate. Thank you."
[The quick-witted Feng Baobao]: "Oh, meat. It looks quite substantial, it should keep you full for a long time."
Seeing the satisfied and grateful comments from the goddesses, Shi Hao smiled smugly.
Sure enough, there's nothing a red envelope can't solve; if there is, then send five!
Huo Ling'er, standing nearby, watched Shi Hao talking to himself in the air and giggling from time to time, and a strange expression appeared on her face: "Hey! Little monster, what are you muttering to yourself over there? Were you scared silly by the nine-headed lion just now?"
"You're the one who's stupid!" Shi Hao rolled his eyes at her. "I'm just chatting with my friends from afar, sharing my treasures. What do you know!"
"A friend from afar? Chatting?" Huo Ling'er became even more curious. "How do you chat? Do you possess the legendary 'telepathic communication'?"
"More or less," Shi Hao replied dismissively, too lazy to explain the chat group to her.
··Requesting flowers·····
He glanced at the sky, then at the furry ball on his shoulder that had started squeaking again and pointing in a certain direction, and said, "Let's go, don't waste time. The furry ball seems to have found another good spot! Don't try to take it from me this time!"
"Hmph! Who wants to take it from you!" Huo Ling'er snorted arrogantly, but still followed curiously.
The two people and the monkey embarked on another treasure hunt.
Guided by Maoqiu's radar-like precision, they crossed two more mountains, passed through a dense forest full of poisonous insects, and finally arrived at a vast medicinal field full of vitality, spiritual energy, and exotic flowers and herbs!
The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times higher than that of the valley where the spiritual spring was located!
Rare medicinal herbs that have long disappeared from the outside world or require exorbitant prices to obtain are found here as easily as roadside weeds!
A thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum), a blood-red ginseng flowing with rosy light, a dragon-shaped herb resembling a real dragon, a nine-aperture exquisite flower exuding a refreshing aura... a dazzling array! It's enough to make one's eyes dazzled!
"The Hundred Herbs Garden! This must be the legendary Hundred Herbs Garden!" Huo Ling'er exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she looked at the fairy-tale-like medicinal field before her.
The Hundred Herbs Garden is one of the most renowned natural wonders in the Hundred Broken Mountains!
Legend has it that it was an ancient garden where gods cultivated medicinal herbs, and it was full of treasures!
"We're rich! We're really rich this time!" Huo Ling'er's face flushed with excitement, and she couldn't wait to rush in and pick all the fruits!
However, Shi Hao's gaze did not immediately fall on those precious spiritual herbs.
His gaze was drawn to a small stone lying quietly in the center of the medicinal herb field, seemingly inconspicuous, like an ordinary pebble...
.............
The stone was only the size of a fist, grayish-white in color, with no luster on its surface, and even had some dirt on it. If it were left on the roadside, no one would give it a second glance.
However, Shi Hao could sense an extremely peculiar fluctuation from that stone, as if it contained some kind of stubborn "Daoist charm"!
Moreover, just as he looked at the stone, the stone actually... moved slightly? As if responding to his gaze?
"Could this be..." Shi Hao's heart stirred, recalling that eccentric being from the original work—a scoundrel who was both cheeky and incredibly tough, and dared to even strike a god with a club!
Hit the divine stone? !
A playful smile appeared on his face as he slowly walked towards the rock.
"Hey! Little monster! Where are you going? Those spiritual herbs are the real treasures! Don't bother with that broken rock!" Huo Ling'er couldn't help but shout when she saw Shi Hao ignoring the spiritual herbs scattered all over the ground and instead walking towards a broken rock.
Shi Hao ignored her, walked to the stone, squatted down, and gently poked it with his finger.
"Hey! Who's got the guts to poke you, Grandpa Shi?!"
A voice, full of roguishness and arrogance, like that of a street thug, actually rang out from inside the stone!
Immediately afterwards, the rock leaped three feet high from the ground and slammed down towards Shi Hao's head! It was as fast as lightning and as powerful as a hammer! It seemed poised to crack Shi Hao's skull open!
"Holy crap! The stone can talk? And it can hit people?!" Huo Ling'er, who was far away, was terrified when she saw this scene!
However, Shi Hao had anticipated this sudden "sneak attack," and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
He didn't even dodge; just as the rock was about to hit him, he suddenly opened his mouth!
then……
Click!
He took a bite out of that incredibly hard rock!
"Ouch—!!!! It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it's killing me!!!"
The arrogant voice of the God-Slaying Stone instantly turned into a pig-like scream!
It felt as if it had not smashed onto a person's head, but onto a piece of divine metal that was countless times harder than itself!
The recoil nearly shattered it!
What shocked it even more was that the seemingly delicate pink lips actually had incredibly good teeth!
With one bite, a row of clear teeth marks was left on what it considered its indestructible body! Although it didn't break the skin, it still felt excruciating pain!
"Little...little monster! What...what are you transformed from?! How can your teeth be so strong?!" The God-Slaying Stone screamed in agony, asking in terror.
"Hehe, I specialize in eating stones." Shi Hao released his mouth, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and said with a grin, "The taste is not bad, but it's a bit hard on the teeth. How about... I take a couple more bites to try?"
"No, no, no! Sir! I was wrong! I was wrong, okay?! Please, have mercy on me and spare my life!" Upon hearing that the God-Slaying Stone was still going to bite it, it was terrified! It frantically begged for mercy in mid-air, its attitude completely changing!
It felt like it hadn't checked the almanac before going out today; how could it have encountered such a ferocious and shameless little monster?! (Mountain.7)
Chapter 41: First Encounter with Yunxi, the Fountain of Immortality! 2
Shi Hao looked at this cowardly stone and found it even more amusing. (Nine)
He reached out and grabbed the God-Slaying Stone, which was still fluttering in mid-air.
It feels heavy and solid in the hand; it's truly exceptional.
"Alright, stop howling." Shi Hao weighed it in his hand. "From now on, you'll follow me and be my... um, my special brick for hitting people!"
"Huh? A brick?!" The God-Slaying Stone cried out in despair, "Sir, I am a noble God-Slaying Stone! Not a brick!"
"Oh? What do you think of calling it 'God-Slaying Brick'?" Shi Hao raised an eyebrow.
"Uh... 'brick' sounds better..." The God-Slaying Stone immediately backed down.
And so, the legendary God-Slaying Stone, which even gods dared to strike with, became Shi Hao's personal "brick" in such a humiliating way.
Having witnessed all of this, Huo Ling'er was completely numb.
She felt that her worldview was being constantly and in an extremely absurd way after encountering this little monster...
After subduing the God-Slaying Stone, Shi Hao turned his attention to the vast Herb Garden.
With so many rare and precious medicinal herbs, we certainly can't let them go!
