Chapter 499 The Favoritism of the Wet Bone Forest, the Giant Slug = Holy Land
Liu Yun's attention was focused on the spiritual flowers and herbs, and he didn't notice the little reptile hiding in the miasma-filled wasteland...
Fortunately, Nanami stayed in the sky and didn't come down. Otherwise, if a surprised female voice suddenly rang out in such a desolate place, wouldn't it scare the little girl to death?
"Oh, it's just a slug... Don't be so startled next time... When it suddenly makes a sound in a place like this, I think I've seen a ghost..." Liu Yun couldn't help but complain.
"Um...it's because I met you in a place like this that I was so surprised...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The little slug quickly admitted her mistake and apologized.
Liu Yun waved his hand, then picked up a spirit herb covered in soil and asked, "Are you staying here to protect this spirit herb?"
"Protecting... well, not really protecting... I need to find food in the Wet Bone Forest, and this spirit herb is one of my targets. But Lord Liuyun has already gotten his hands on it, so this spirit herb must be yours..."
The slug has many, many clones, and its traces can be found everywhere in the Wet Bone Forest. The spiritual flowers and herbs scattered in the miasma are one of the important foods for the giant slug!
"These sentient flowers and plants are your food?" Liu Yun was somewhat surprised. This slug eats such good food! No wonder the slug's body can have such an unusually large size, and it also has the powerful ability to heal injuries!
"Hmm, the miasma in the Wet Bone Forest is very special and terrifying. Ordinary life forms can hardly set foot in such a dangerous place, and even insects cannot survive in it. But none of this affects me, so many spiritual flowers and herbs end up benefiting me, haha..."
The little slug is very talkative, and its voice is soft and sweet, making it very pleasant to listen to.
"I see……"
Liu Yun nodded in sudden realization. Hearing these words, he understood why the Wet Bone Forest was so dominant. A slug had supported the name of a holy land because this holy land only favored it!
"What brings Lord Liuyun to the Wet Bone Forest to dig for herbs today? These little things aren't worth your personal handling, are they?"
The slug was somewhat curious about Liu Yun's purpose in coming here. After all, so-called spiritual flowers and herbs were extremely precious to ordinary people, but to someone of Liu Yun's level, they were no less valuable than roadside weeds...
Eating the spiritual flowers and herbs was of no use to him, since after consuming the top-grade divine fruit, he already possessed an immortal divine body!
"I have a habit of growing flowers and plants, and when I see these spiritual plants, I can't help but pack them up and take them away..." Liu Yun said frankly.
“I see… I know the whereabouts of many spiritual flowers and herbs. I haven’t consumed those spiritual roots yet. If Lord Liuyun likes them, I can give them to you!” the little slug said generously.
In fact, the large and small slugs basically share the same will and memories. The small slug is both the clone and the main body, so it is naturally able to make decisions.
"No need, those are your provisions, I won't take what belongs to you..." Liu Yun waved his hand and said.
He had already dug up quite a few spirit flowers and herbs, and was too lazy to continue collecting them.
Next, Liu Yun requested to meet the giant slug's true form. The little slug replied that its true form was in the center of the Wet Bone Forest and was waiting for his arrival at any time.
Liu Yun teleported to the sky and, with his daughter, teleported a long distance to the central area of the Wet Bone Forest.
"Wow...it's so big..."
Looking at the enormous white slug in front of her, as big as a mountain, its massive, constantly writhing body made Nanami gasp in surprise.
"My lords have come from afar, I am so sorry for not greeting you properly..." The giant slug stood up halfway and spoke in a soft and pleasant voice.
"Great Slug Immortal, no need for formalities. Are you busy right now?" Liu Yun looked at the animals gathered around the Great Slug and wondered why they had gathered there.
"Most of these children have come to me for healing, while some have been chased by predators and have come to my vicinity to temporarily escape danger," the giant slug explained gently.
Among the animals staying nearby were many ferocious beasts and birds of prey, but without exception they all appeared very docile. Even when there was prey within their grasp, they dared not show their ferocious claws in front of the giant slug.
Because this area within a ten-mile radius is the territory of the Great Slug Immortal, fighting is not allowed here, and most of the creatures of the Wet Bone Forest understand this rule!
Under Liu Yun's watchful gaze, the giant slug immortal separated a portion of his body and began healing the wounds and diseases of the creatures that came seeking help, a scene that amazed Liu Yun and his daughter.
"Immortal, can you also heal ferocious beasts?"
Nanami watched as a slug clone treated a one-eyed tiger and couldn't help but ask.
"Heaven gave me the ability to heal so that I could save lives and heal the wounded... In my eyes, they are all just the injured, without distinction between fierce and gentle, good and evil..." the giant slug said softly.
In the eyes of all living beings in Shikkut Forest, this slug is a symbol of a loving mother. It can heal all wounds and embrace and respect all living beings. Even the fiercest beasts will calm down when they see it.
The great slug's kindness and compassion have spread across this land for thousands of years, and trust has been deeply imprinted in the blood of all creatures in the Shikkut Forest!
"This is the second time you've been seriously injured. You can't engage in high-intensity battles anymore because your body is nearing its limit..." The little slug gently advised after healing the ferocious tiger.
The fierce tiger gently licked the small slug, then bowed to the large slug before striding into the depths of the dense forest.
Liu Yun and his daughter watched this scene quietly, gaining a completely new understanding of the Wet Bone Forest and the giant slug.
Giant slugs generally help living beings heal their injuries and illnesses without expecting anything in return. However, occasionally, some intelligent spirit beasts come to the giant slugs for treatment, and they bring precious spiritual items with them.
Liu Yun saw an injured white ape. When it came to the giant slug for help, it offered a bright red, strange spiritual fruit. The giant slug accepted the gift without hesitation and, like other creatures, used its smaller slugs to treat the white ape's wounds.
The slug healed both the ferocious tiger and the white ape with the same care. It did not give the white ape special treatment because of a single spiritual fruit, nor did it treat the ferocious tiger negatively because it did not give it a spiritual fruit. Its love for all creatures in the Wet Bone Forest was equal.
Some small birds will bring ordinary wild fruits for the giant slug, while other animals, such as rodents, will offer tender leaves and mushrooms to this mountain-sized giant slug.
The giant slug lay lazily on the ground, letting the small animals climb on it and feed it. Meanwhile, the little slugs diligently healed the wounds of all the creatures in the Wet Bone Forest. This harmonious and friendly scene deeply touched the hearts of the father and daughter.
The name 'Wet Bone Forest' sounds eerie, and most people would immediately associate it with a dangerous place... Yet, it is also known as a 'holy land,' and a giant slug has become its most representative spiritual beast!
"So this is the holy land!"
Liu Yun has already understood the origin of the name of the Holy Land, and also understands why a giant slug can support a Holy Land!
Shikkotsu Forest truly loves the Great Slug Sage, but the Great Slug Sage also loves all the creatures here.
The most ferocious place in the eyes of the world has given birth to the kindest immortal beasts. The wonders of nature have deeply moved Liu Yun. At this moment, his state of mind was also influenced by the holy land of immortals. The healing talent of the giant slug immortal can not only heal injuries and illnesses, but also suppress evil thoughts and purify the mind!
