Fearsome Farmer

Chapter 45: This Is A Beautiful Misunderstanding

In the night, the forest that was usually lively in the past became much quieter at once. It still appeared like a gentle breeze was blowing, giving a satisfying coolness with little change.

But Li Siwen knew that all the insects and small beasts in this area had become dormant. An indescribable pressure shrouded it, as if a storm was approaching.

He was feeling uneasy at heart too, but despite so, he forced himself to rest for a while. Even if he could not fall asleep, he had to nap, until his Stamina returned to the full bar.

Then, he opened the Attribute Bar and did his routine check.

“A storm is coming.”

Li Siwen muttered to himself, then extracted all nine Vitality Points in the small green orb and added them to Stamina.

As for why?

Of course it’s so he could escape immediately if he found that things weren’t right. And without enough stamina, how far would he be able to run?

As for what sensational, burning his boats, fighting to the death, please, he was merely a rookie, an adorable little farmer. Even if he escaped without fighting, that could certainly be forgiven too, right?

After he was done preparing himself mentally, Li Siwen instantly felt relaxed throughout. To be honest, he was still rather torn previously, after all, this was a territory that he’d toiled over several days to build. To give it up just like that was too—— too embarrassing.

Then and there, he rested that huge wooden club with the small end above and the big end below on the southern side of the tree house and found a rock to lodge it in place. He then held the axe by the dim light of the stars and unhurriedly pared it again and again.

Presently, his felling means had long surpassed that of the past. As his axe landed, it could be as solid as Mount Tai, fierce as thunder but also gentle and light, with an imperceptible effect. If he said he was aiming for a one meter depth, it definitely wouldn’t be three meters deep.

Together with Li Siwen’s body’s spatial judgement, he had an illusion that he was being enlightened. Yes, it was an illusion.

At some point, the night wind became much colder. He seemed to be able to hear water; it was very amazing.

And before Li Siwen could react, snowflakes floated down from above his head. The temperatures of the whole tree house suddenly dropped. A layer of frost completely covered it, even the axe he was holding had a layer of frost and snow.

A gust of stiff wind infiltrated through the gap. Wherever it reached, there was a crunchy sound of ice freezing up.

Within mere seconds, the temperature fell from more than twenty degrees to negative twenty degrees.

This dumbfounded Li Siwen. A long while later, he then shivered involuntarily. Yeah, it shivered. Why could it be so nice and cool?

I’m so excited!

Until an enormous black snake head appeared above the tree house, a mouthful of cold fog sprayed down, the temperatures in the tree house dropped by another twenty odd degrees, just like a snow world.

Li Siwen jumped three foot high, oh dear, scared me to death.

As for this temperature of negative 40 degrees, mm, it seems a little cold now, but damn it, is my stamina of 40 points a joke? I can at least hold out for another few hours.

Letting out a roar, he turned and fled. He was obviously no match, let’s run.

Only, before he’d jumped out of the tree house, the black snake whose head was at least as big as a pail angrily knocked over the round logs above the tree house. Even the tree house became shaky and unsteady.

For a moment, Li Siwen didn’t even have the chance even if he wanted to escape. In his panic, he held a round log and threw it at the big snake’s head. In the end, the enormous snake opened its vast mouth and bit down on it. The round log did not break, but a path of frost swiftly spread over along the round log, frightening him that he hurriedly let go.

Without question, the cold fog and frost breathed out by this big snake was of the same property as the boorish Feudal Lord’s flames.

Presently, that big snake was probably using its body to cling onto the tree house. He only heard a creaking that made one alarmed. Li Siwen was virtually frightened out of his wits. If the tree house were to collapse, he would really be doomed.

But a few seconds later, Li Siwen who thought he was bound to die started laughing.

To tell the truth, his tree house wasn’t sturdy, but the four trees used as support were truly hardy.

The big snake was no doubt formidable, but wanting to crush the tree house by wrapping itself around it was impossible!

At this thought, as if he was grasping his life-saving straw, Li Siwen grabbed a huge wooden spear that had yet to be felled into shape while the big snake was battling with the four big trees and when the big snake stuck its head into the tree house once more, at the moment it opened its mouth, he pierced forward directly!

This time, the big snake similarly spat out a block of frost and bit the wooden spear at the same time, but Li Siwen snarled, and ignoring the shrouded frost, a wooden spear penetrated through.

Only at this time, Li Siwen then abruptly remembered. Oh heck, I forgot to sharpen an end. The touch must be uncomfortable.

The scene was very awkward for a time!

A few seconds later, Li Siwen crawled out, trembling like a snowman. He was only made muddleheaded from the cold, but 40 points of high stamina ensured that he wasn’t frozen stiff.

“Uh, what happened? Who am I? Where am I?”

A series of questions that struck one’s soul, Li Siwen finally realized one thing.

The big snake was dead. It had to die. The wooden club that was as thick as a person’s arm directly penetrated its forehead. Such an appearance——hold on, Li Siwen suddenly recalled a matter at this time. He quickly opened the Attribute Bar, in the end his heart went cold.

The green orb, yellow orb, blue orb were unmoved. In other words, the death of this big snake, he could not get any benefits, even Spirit Points too.

That’s not right either, because he could still grill it!

Li Siwen excitedly struck with his axe, and in the next second, he was startled, because it seemed like he had struck a pile of cotton. The big snake body that seemed tough dissipated and melted into water.

He watched this scene with his mouth agape. It would be fake if he claimed that his heart wasn’t aching. This snake that was as thick as a pail was at least fifty to sixty meters long. How much meat was there?

In the end, in mere moments, all of that had dissolved into water.

“Wait, this is a little similar to the red monster that Zhao Da mutated into. I killed Zhao Da previously and did not gain Spirit Points either, only his corpse became ashes. Heck, Heavenly Workmanship Points!”

Li Siwen leaped out with a whoosh. Sure enough, he found a white crystal the size of a chicken egg outside of the tree house.

Associating it with the red crystal as big as an apricot kernel that Zhao Da became after his death, how could he be a stranger to how valuable this was.

But he still used tree branches to lift this white crystal and finally confirmed that this item was harmless using the four remarkable abilities of looking, listening, questioning and feeling.

However, he’d just put this white crystal in his hand and in merely three seconds, this white crystal with a net weight of at least thirty catties promptly dimmed. Finally, it became a normal stone weighing just a few hundred grams.

At this time, Li Siwen opened the Attribute Bar with a trembling heart and he saw that the small blue orb had actually yielded a ball of blue thick mist. Focusing on it, he almost jumped up in joy.

The stats labeled on it was too surprising; it was actually 53/15.

How did it suddenly break the upper limit?

Perhaps because luck brings wisdom, the first thing that Li Siwen thought of at heart was to upgrade. He was going to upgrade the volume of the small blue orb.

At once, the blue haze outside of the blue orb instantly became much dimmer and the stats label became 23/30. As expected, the upgrade succeeded, just that a one time upgrade expended 30 points of Heavenly Workmanship Point, it felt like he was suffering a loss for some reason.

But Li Siwen wasn’t the kind of insatiably avaricious, short-sighted, ill-bred person. He merely thumped his chest and stomped his feet and warmly greeted all 72 generations of that big snake’s ancestors.

One minute later, he regulated his emotions and a look of being in thought appeared on his face.

Now it had been proven that the frost spurted out by this black snake, and the flames released by the boorish Feudal Lord were all a certain power that did not belong to this world.

Zhao Da became a monster because he could not control the mutation of such power, even his soul was non-existent.

And though this big snake had controlled the frost, it similarly had no more soul.

Then, could he conclude that the boorish Fire, as well as everyone else who’d fused the fire amulet, had all lost their souls too? Only they did not realize it themselves.

Then where did their souls go?

Offered as sacrifice, or exchanged?

Mm, this was too complicated. He could not afford to get involved, could not afford to get involved.
