Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 16: The Bamboo Killer

Not long after, Lin Jing left the mission hall with the freshly-made mission scroll.

With this item, he can enter Jinzhuyuan and cut down spiritual bamboo at will, but if he does not have this certificate, he will be arrested for "destroying sect resources".

"That senior brother said that it is very laborious to cut down the spiritual bamboo with the ordinary Flying Leaf Technique, but I don't know how effective the red Flying Leaf is."

Lin Jing and Songyeshu did not take the Mission Hall senior brother's statement seriously. The other party was talking about the spiritual beast Songyeshu, what did it have to do with their precious beast Songyeshu.

Since Elder Yu has entrusted them with this important task, they must cut down enough spiritual bamboos and send them to Elder Yu even if they have to go without food or water.

Lin Jing and Songye Shu rushed to Jinzhuyuan without stopping, fearing to waste too much time. After all, if they cut ten less, they would lose a spirit stone.

After showing the mission scroll to the sect brother who was guarding the bamboo forest, he led the pine leaf mouse into the bamboo forest.

Walking into the bamboo forest, they looked up. The bamboo leaves covered the sky, and the tall and straight bamboos were filled with a deep and vital emerald green, which made the pine leaf mice drool.

"squeak……"

"You are a squirrel, not a bamboo rat." Lin Jing corrected and slapped open the cloth bag hanging around his waist. The pine leaf squirrel sighed and immediately took out the precious red flying leaves from it and held them to his chest.

But before it used the red flying leaf, Lin Jing bent down, picked up an ordinary bamboo leaf and handed it to it.

"It's a good opportunity to compare and see how much of a difference there is in the destructive power of using ordinary bamboo leaves to perform the Flying Leaf Technique and using your red flying leaves to perform the Flying Leaf Technique on the spiritual bamboo."

Hearing this, the pine leaf mouse nodded and took the green bamboo leaf. Soon, it held a bamboo leaf in one hand and a red flying leaf in the other, and looked at the nearest spiritual bamboo with a sharp look!
"Ah!" Its spiritual power burst out, and it waved its little hand, throwing out the bamboo leaves first. With a swish, the green light collided with the spiritual bamboo. The bamboo pole shook slightly, and the bamboo leaves only left a tiny hole on the bamboo before exploding directly.

Seeing this, the pine leaf mouse frowned. This spiritual bamboo is indeed hard. If it is cut normally, it is probably very far from getting rich after staying here for a day.

It and Lin Jing looked at each other again, and this time it used red leaves to perform the Flying Leaf Technique.

"Squeak!" The pine leaf mouse jumped up from Lin Jing's shoulder and threw out a red flying leaf. A red light flashed, and with a click, the red flying leaf went straight through the bamboo poles, and then... the tall bamboo fell down!
And this is not over yet. With the control of the pine leaf mouse, the red flying leaves are still flying very fast. Click, click, click. In the blink of an eye, the pine leaf mouse has cut off several spiritual bamboos. Such efficiency makes Lin Jing and the pine leaf mouse's eyes light up.

From this, we can judge that the lethality that can be caused by the pine leaf mouse controlling the red flying leaves is definitely much higher than that of the pine leaf mouse in the middle stage of Qi training. In addition, the flexibility of the flying leaf technique is beyond the reach of ordinary pine leaf mice!
"We are rich!" Lin Jing.

"Squeak!!" The pine leaf mouse was also extremely excited. Although it was tiring to control the red flying leaves, when it thought that these spiritual bamboos would eventually become its storage bag, it burst out with strong enthusiasm. All its fatigue was swept away and it became very motivated.

“Let’s not go back. Let’s just stay here from now on.” Lin Jing suggested.

"I heard the sound of a stream before. There is water in this bamboo forest, which means there are fish. I'll eat grilled fish and you eat bamboo leaves. Let's see where our limits are!"

The pine leaf mouse was startled. Just now he said it was not a bamboo rat, but now he let it eat bamboo leaves! But it would eat anything. The bamboo leaves of this spiritual bamboo were more nutritious than the leaves in the yard.

Lin Jing and the pine leaf squirrel's eyes...sparkled again!
a!
The senior brother who was in charge of guarding the bamboo forest suddenly felt something was wrong. He sat cross-legged in the bamboo house to practice and remembered something.

"A few days ago, it seems that a fellow apprentice entered the bamboo forest to carry out a logging mission? Why haven't they come out in the past few days?"

"Really hardworking." He sighed and looked at the pastries on the table. He planned to go visit this junior brother. The fact that he could receive the task from Elder Yu showed that this junior brother had great talent and potential. He was also very hardworking in carrying out the task. His future was even more immeasurable and he was worth making friends with.

He carried the cakes and began to enter the bamboo forest. As he went deeper, the brother's eyelids jumped. He saw that the roadside was bare, which was completely different from the bamboo sea in his memory. Instead, there were piles of bundled spiritual bamboo on the ground, one pile... one pile... and another pile.

"What happened!" He was stunned. He clearly remembered that he had sent in a junior fellow apprentice and his pine leaf rats in recent days. It looked like the pine leaf rat clan from Songlin Peak came here to open up the wasteland together.

"Junior brother, where are you!" A whirlwind swirled under his feet, and the magic wind spell was activated. In an instant, he became as light as a swallow and began to look for Lin Jing and the others. Not long after, he found the pine leaf mouse that was eating bamboo leaves... and Lin Jing who was massaging it.

"Brother...is there anything I can help you with?" Lin Jing raised his head, stopped the soul-gathering technique in his hand, and looked at the brother who was guarding the forest and whose mouth was twitching.

"Did you cut down all these?" He looked incredulous at the exhausted body but shining eyes of the third-level Qi training pine leaf rat. He didn't believe it at all.

"Yeah." Lin Jing looked tired.

"This..." Senior Brother Shoulin was silent for a while, then said, "Did Elder Yu say...how many spiritual bamboos he needs?"

Lin Jing shook his head: "Elder Yu never said that, but for such an important festival as the Shenglong Festival, the more spiritual bamboos the better. Only in this way can we create more mechanical bamboo dragons and make the festival more lively."

"I'll go ask Elder Yu for instructions..." Senior Brother Shoulin was really worried. He scratched his head, turned around and left. He was very scared. He was afraid that if Lin Jing stayed in the bamboo forest for a while longer, the bamboo sea here would disappear.

As soon as the forest ranger left, Lin Jing and the pine leaf mice accelerated their logging as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

……

Outer gate, mechanism workshop!

Although the outer sect elder Yu majored in the art of taming beasts, he was also a mechanical fanatic and enjoyed studying them very much.

Outside the square, there is a plaque that reads "Mechanical beasts are also beasts."

At that moment, he was drinking tea and chatting with another elder. If Lin Jing were here, he would definitely recognize that he was Elder Mo who had left the sect for several days.

"I just returned to the sect and you stopped me before I even flew to Lotus Peak. Is there something important?" Elder Mo took a sip of tea and looked at the other party.

Elder Yu chuckled, stroked his beard, and said, "A month ago, you placed the immortal body you found in the outer sect and asked me to take good care of it. I was very concerned about it and even tailored a sect mission for him to cut spiritual bamboo. Don't you have to thank me? 10 spiritual bamboos for one spiritual stone, for an outer sect disciple, this is pie in the sky!"

"Haha! For such a small matter, what else do you want to be thanked for? Don't be ridiculous. With their cultivation level, how many spiritual bamboos can they cut down?" Elder Mo snorted.

"Do you think I don't know how stingy you are? Tell me, do you like any resource in my collection?"

"What do you mean by stingy? I just saved some money for the sect's research on mechanical beasts..." Before Elder Yu finished his words, a crane landed outside the town and delivered a letter.

Elder Yu opened it and looked at it. His expression changed instantly and he said, "Are you sure that what you brought back is the Immortal Body, not the Wood God Body?"

"What's wrong?" Elder Mo was puzzled.

"The disciples who are guarding the forest said that the disciples who are carrying out the logging mission in the bamboo forest have almost cut down all the bamboos in the outer area!" Elder Yu's scalp tingled.
