A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 701: Chapter 540: The Generous Nine-colored Deer

“Where are Little Flower Demon, Little Cyan Snake, and Little Deer?” Qi Ping suddenly asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, boss, they’re all doing quite well now, no need to worry!”

Yaya seemed to see through the boss’s inner concern and quickly tried to comfort him.

“Hmm, it’s just that I haven’t seen them in so many years.”

At this moment, Qi Ping also suddenly recalled that with Yaya’s personality, if the other companions weren’t doing well, Yaya would have already brought them over.

Yaya didn’t say anything more and continued to seriously talk about the experiences of the other three companions.

“Out of all our companions, Little Deer has it the easiest.”

Speaking of this, Yaya’s voice lightened a bit.

“Because the Nine-colored Deer bloodline is rare and it’s difficult to bear offspring, Little Deer was happily invited back by the tribe as soon as it appeared in the Nine-colored Deer territory. I can still remember the genuine happiness on their faces!”

“Moreover, they are very friendly, and to thank us for returning Little Deer to the tribe, they gave us many Spiritual Medicines and three opportunities to ask for their help.”

“Later on, several times when Little Snake and I encountered danger, it was thanks to them that we got through the tough times. They are really very kind and gentle…”

As Yaya spoke, gratitude and a hint of envy emerged in its eyes.

Compared to the Snake Race and the Golden Crow Bird Race, the Nine-colored Deer Race has it much easier.

The Snake Race and the Golden Crow Bird Race are too large and complex, with fierce dispositions. To stand out, the battles and killings one must experience are unimaginable.

Almost every elite of the Bird Race and Snake Race, who reached the peak, rose up from mountains of corpses and a Sea of Blood.

Internal devouring among the tribe is even considered natural, and every elite has countless remnants of their tribesmen within them.

Only when the bloodline reaches a certain level can they truly be recognized by the ancestral land and have the right to receive the tribe’s Shelter.

It wasn’t until I reached Tier Six, equivalent to the Void Refining Realm, that I was truly recognized by the Golden Crow Ancestral Land and gained complete Shelter.

Unlike Little Deer, who, after returning to the Nine-colored Deer group, had resources fully provided.

Even though the Nine-colored Deer aren’t considered a top Demon Beast Race, their combat power isn’t top-notch, but it’s still one of the Divine Beast bloodlines, and it receives the forest’s blessing and protection.

Not to mention their high Combat Power and Life Force in the forest, killing them would incur the forest’s curse, and almost no Demon Beast would actively provoke the Nine-colored Deer Race.

Of course, the Nine-colored Deer Race also never actively provoke other races, their only hobby is protecting the forest, but they never actively expand.

“After returning to the tribe, Little Deer often secretly brings us their resources despite the Nine-colored Deer Race’s elite, Little Snake, and I were able to break through thanks to all kinds of resources from Little Deer!”

Hearing this, Luo Ping couldn’t help but feel emotional.

The Nine-colored Deer Race really can be said to be a breath of fresh air in the Demon Beast World.

“After I broke through Tier Seven and gained a certain status, I talked with the Nine-colored Deer Race’s elites, and that’s when I found out that Little Deer initially gave most of the Cultivation Spiritual Medicine to us, making them have to continuously provide more resources to Little Deer…”

“Little Snake and I were able to survive the early slaughter of the Snake Race and Bird Race, thanks indeed to Little Deer and the Nine-colored Deer Race…”

For Little Deer and the Nine-colored Deer Race, I am genuinely grateful from the heart.

“It’s just…”

Yaya’s expression suddenly turned somewhat somber.

“Little Deer’s Realm advancement is not fast, and its bloodline and Talent are not outstanding. Although the Nine-colored Deer Race provides it with a lot of resources, it hasn’t significantly boosted its bloodline and Talent.”

“So, Little Deer might not achieve much in its lifetime.”

“It often comforts us, saying it doesn’t matter, as the Nine-colored Deer bloodline, being the child of the forest, has a long Lifespan, and no one would bully its kind. It really enjoys this peaceful and serene life, though sometimes it misses you, boss…”

Qi Ping felt a slight tremor in his heart after hearing this.

Back then, the one who liked clinging to him the most was the Little Spirit Fox, followed by Little Deer, who especially loved the natural aura of the Druid.

“Still as lazy as before, but really, thanks to Little Deer.”

At this moment, Qi Ping felt very fortunate to have brought Little Deer along. Without the help of the Nine-colored Deer Race, it is uncertain if Yaya and the others would have reached their current positions.

And hearing that Little Deer is living quite carefree, he was also relieved.

But from Yaya’s earlier recount, he also understood the difficulties of the Bird Race and Snake Race.

Although both the Bird Race and Snake Race are super tribes, with a terrifying number of members and elites, internally there are extensive bloodline branches and crossbred bloodlines.

Coupled with their ferocious nature, the difficulty of rising within them is extraordinarily high, and the brutality and danger within are beyond imagination.

Even now, looking at it, Qi Ping feels a bit overwhelmed with dread.

Even with his cautiousness, in the face of the Bird Race and Snake Race’s cruelty, he might not be able to fight his way out all alone.

“Yeah, really thanks to Little Deer, and Little Deer truly is happy. I’ve visited it many times, and it just keeps saying it misses you, boss!”

“That fellow, as long as it’s happy, it’s fine. After all, it’s not necessary to chase after high Realms. Living so freely is already quite rare.”

With Qi Ping’s current strength, he still feels a tremendous amount of pressure.

Although the Star Sea World has become his domain for Farming, those covetous entities outside, the sealed history, and that enigmatic Rule that destroys all Mahayana-related objects are all challenges he has to face.

Now it seems like he controls everything, but if he doesn’t strengthen rapidly, the world he’s painstakingly managing could be destroyed with a mere flip of a hand.

If that were to happen, most of his confidence and foundation for future breakthroughs would be wiped out.

And even more terrifying, all his companions and friends would perish without exception, and that’s something he absolutely cannot accept.

To live as leisurely and carefree as Little Deer, who knows how long a road he must still travel.

“What about Little Cyan Snake? How is it doing now?”

Since he knew Little Deer is doing well, Qi Ping no longer worried and was more eager to know about Little Cyan Snake’s situation.

“Little Cyan Snake’s experiences in recent years are probably similar to mine. It doesn’t like to talk, and hasn’t told me in detail, but from what I’ve gathered, the number of bones under its hands might be even greater than mine. The hardships it has gone through on this path may only be known to itself…”

After hearing this, Qi Ping couldn’t help but fall silent.

He tried to imagine Little Cyan Snake’s difficulties, but the reality is that the bitterness it endured might surpass his imagination.

“Now, Little Snake is already a general in the Snake Race, but due to the Snake Race’s recent population surge, another internal war might be imminent.”

“After this battle, probably countless will die or be injured, and Little Snake will surely be involved. And this is an internal war of the Snake Race. Not to mention me, even the patriarch cannot interfere. Otherwise, mishandling it might lead to another Bird-Serpent War…”

Saying this, Yaya could only sigh helplessly.
