The resistance of the water flow to him... disappeared?

"What's going on?" Beria was surprised. He could feel the moisture and coldness of the water, but when he moved his body, he found that the water's resistance to him had completely disappeared.

The next moment, the buffalo charged again, but Belial countered with a side-spinning kick, knocking it down.

"Reconciliation with the swamp... This is the gravity of fate, he actually has it too." On the mountaintop, the girl who had become the red ball watched this scene with some surprise.

Chapter 971 Coffin Nails

With the help of fate's gravity, Belial, no longer limited by the terrain, immediately defeated the buffalo, rendering it unable to rise again.

"Now do you know who's in charge?"

Having regained his honor, Belial vented his frustration and gathered energy in his hands, preparing to destroy it.

"Wait, how about we let it go?" Yu Hui suddenly thought of something and tried to stop him again.

Belial: "What?"

Yu Hui: "I've had some reflections these past few days."

Although the term has been severely stigmatized by some bizarre public intellectuals, the practice of "examining oneself three times a day" is still acceptable.

Although skeptical, Yu Hui was still moved when Mefras said that human pollution and destruction of other life on Earth caused the Mysterious Evolutionary Record to abandon humanity, and he thought about making amends.

Beria might not have thought much of it, but as a "local," he felt that these words were not exaggerated.

Compared to the monster he encountered who had a baby and then went to the city center to blow up the city—a purely selfish monster—this buffalo was simply guarding the remains of its companions and didn't go out to cause trouble. It could be considered "pure and good," and they could coexist perfectly well.

Ultimately, this time it was humans who ignored warnings and invaded its territory, which led to its retaliation.

"Big water buffalo, can you understand me?"

"Now, I'll spare your life."

"From now on, when you encounter humans who violate your taboos, you must spare their lives. Can you do that?"

"If you encounter someone trying to steal your remains, just stomp your feet and spit on them to scare them away. We're all living beings on Earth; there's no need to fight to the death."

The water buffalo slowly retreated: "Thank you, I will keep my promise."

Yu Hui was taken aback: "Huh?"

What's going on? Is it just his imagination? Why does he feel like he can understand the language of this water buffalo?

Yu Hui was uncertain: "Beria, am I hallucinating from eating mushrooms? Why can I see 'subtitles' translated into Chinese when this buffalo moos?"

Belial became excited: "It's not an illusion, it must be because the gravity of fate is being triggered now. The other Yu Hui is like that, he can understand all languages ​​and read all texts!"

He didn't care whether the buffalo lived or died, and considering that Yu Hui had contributed greatly to the battle and further developed the gravity of fate, he readily agreed.

Belial left the swamp, teasing, "But you've started to think like that Ishibori, from an outsider's perspective. This buffalo killed two of your kind, yet you're speaking up for it."

Yu Hui: "Same kind... that's too broad. During World War II, Germans and Soviets probably didn't consider each other to be fellow Earthlings. I don't even know those two people."

Belial deactivated his transformation and joked, "So, you mean if it were one of your friends or acquaintances who were killed, you'd fight to the death for revenge?"

Yu Hui thought for a moment, then laughed awkwardly: "Haha."

Beria, however, found Yu Hui increasingly to his liking: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, I just like this kind of genuine nature."

After experiencing such a series of fantastical events recently, Yu Hui felt that nothing in the world is necessarily nonexistent, and we should still have more awe for the unknown world.

"Bang!" Suddenly, water surged and the water buffalo resurfaced.

"That beast, he's playing dirty tricks!" Belial's phantom was shocked, thinking that the water buffalo was going to take advantage of his transformation to launch a surprise attack.

Yu Hui: "Wait, I can sense that it has no ill intentions."

Then a long, thin object was thrown in front of Yu Hui by the water buffalo. Yu Hui picked it up and saw that it was a very long iron nail, covered in rust.

"What is this... a souvenir for me?" Yu Hui asked.

The water buffalo said that a long time ago, a human wearing a robe who was passing by discovered its existence. Fearing that it would bring disaster to the world, it sealed itself away with this.

Recently, the seal broke off, and its state changed from a vengeful spirit to a physical entity, allowing it to move freely.

"What? You can seal such a huge monster with just this one thing?" Yu Hui exclaimed in disbelief.

Belial pondered, "It can seal souls... This looks like... the United States Yamabe Coffin Nail!"

Yu Hui was stunned: "What are coffin nails?"

Belial: "Something man-made that can seal away souls... This should be the prototype of the coffin nail!"

He told Yu Hui to keep it safe, as it would be useful later.

"This thing is rusty, and the water buffalo it sealed inside has escaped. It's probably an expired product." Yu Hui was skeptical.

He went back to find Jiehua and the others, and told the old man that the water buffalo would no longer hurt people, and that he could live in peace.

Sakata Ken looked around and realized that his previous "mistress" was gone.

"Grandpa, was that girl your daughter?" Sakata Ken asked, somewhat concerned.

Old man: "Hmm, my little honey must have gone to find medicine to cure my cough, cough cough."

Jiehua nudged Yu Hui on the shoulder, reminding him not to forget the important matter.

Fighting a minor monster was just a coincidence; the main purpose of this trip was to find the legendary "plant life form" that would replace humans as the masters of the earth.

Yu Hui then bid farewell to the Sakata brothers, hinting that they should leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, and then began his search journey with Yuka.

"What! You kindly let the water buffalo go, and then the water buffalo gave you a treasure? Isn't this a scene from a myth?"

On the way, Jiehua listened to Yu Hui recount what had happened, and she was stunned.

Yu Hui: "Good people get good rewards, the key is being able to communicate."

Yuka: "Communication...that's amazing, so amazing! Yu Hui, you can talk to animals, that's the superpower I've dreamed of since I was a child!"

afterglow:"……"

That's a huge water buffalo; it's hardly related to small animals, although I understand what you mean...

"Team member Yu Hui, try talking to this crow. Crows are forest dwellers; maybe it has information about plant life forms." Jiehua was eager for Yu Hui to demonstrate his abilities.

Yu Hui: "Next time... I expended too much energy today."

"Okay, okay." Yuka didn't press the matter, instead dreaming about the bright future: "Being with Yuki is so much fun!"

The next day, Yu Hui had almost recovered. As Jiehua had said, she gave some rice to the crow, and then told him, "Hurry up and lead the way for Yu Hui."

However, birds are probably not intelligent enough to support such a sophisticated question and answer; Yu Hui only knew that it meant "there is indeed a strange inhabitant in this forest."

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to proceed with the search as originally planned.

Searching for plant life in a vast, almost primeval forest with instruments to find a "sacred place" is hard work.

"At first I thought camping would be a lot of fun, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring."

Yu Hui leaned against a tree, panting heavily. If he hadn't been feeling much better recently, he would probably be in the hospital by now.

"Hey, is that all you can do? Even the young girls are better than you." Beria criticized as he helped clear away the thorns and weeds in front of him.

Although Yuka is a girl, she is a specially trained member of the FOT team recruited through the proper procedures, and is indeed much stronger than him.

These days, aside from looking a bit disheveled, she's now using her abundant energy to study the "prototype of the coffin nail."

“No, with this layer of rust covering it, it’s impossible to measure the specific data.” Jiehua shook her head, believing that they would have to go back to the base and use more precise instruments and procedures to measure it.

Two days later, they searched the entire area but found nothing.

"What should we do? Should we expand the search area?" Just as Yu Hui was sighing with his face covered, Jiehua suddenly made a new discovery.

"Team member Yu Hui, look, we've been to this place before!" Jiehua exclaimed.

Yu Hui quickly followed his steps and was also stunned by the scene before him.

According to the satellite navigation data on Jiehua's tablet, they have now returned to their starting point, the area that was previously rampaged by the water buffalo.

Yu Hui clearly remembered what the place looked like before. Because of the raging water buffalo, many trees were trampled, and it was a complete mess.

But now, all those trees have miraculously grown back!

"It's only been a few days, how could it be so fast?" Yuka said in disbelief.

Yu Hui immediately realized: "Is this what they call the 'Sanctuary'? While we were away, that plant life form performed some kind of ritual here, restoring life to this place!"

Yuka: "But...but we searched the whole area, scanned every plant in every corner with instruments, and found nothing at all."

Yu Hui: "Perhaps we've misunderstood; the so-called plant life forms are not what we think they are."

Because of the big dog, Yu Hui had a preconceived notion that the so-called "plant life forms" were things like "Bulbasaur" and "Lisabubu".

But now it seems he may have fallen into a blind spot in his thinking.

Yuka: "What should we do? Should we go look for it again?"

Yu Hui: "No need for that trouble, just asking is enough."

He went to the clear swamp again and called out, "Brave Bull, come out!"

"Splash." Water churned, and the previously silent water buffalo emerged from the water after hearing Yu Hui's call.

It's like Sun Wukong calling the Earth God.

Yu Hui asked, "Have you seen any plant life forms?"

Water buffalo: "?"

I'm just an ordinary cow, how could I possibly understand these advanced concepts of you humans?

Yu Hui rephrased it: "Who restored these trees that you trampled? Did you see them?"

Big Water Buffalo: "The 'woman' in white who was helping that old man that day."

It's actually her!

Yu Hui had a vague recollection of this. When he came to provide emergency assistance earlier, he saw a woman wearing white clothes and a jade pendant around her neck help the elderly man who had been rescued. He had assumed she was the man's granddaughter.

As it turns out, this woman who looked like an ordinary passerby was actually the plant life form they were looking for.

It's so unexpected; she looks exactly like a human.

Yu Hui told Jiehua about it, and she looked at the instrument in her hand and said, "Just check what's going on."
