Chapter 3803: 4.1403 Agony

If this creature decided to stay hidden in the tree roots, Qiao Mu couldn't fight it fiercely here for fear of further damaging the phoenix tree's roots.

At first, she was indeed a bit at a loss, but Qiaoqiao wasn't anxious.

Since she had found the cause, she would slowly deal with this creature.

Anyway, she had agreed on three days with Feng Changqing and the others, and not even half a day had passed yet.

The little girl simply took Little Earth and the others up, not bothering to have Little Earth fill the drilled tunnel.

With her eyesight, looking down several hundred meters, she could just make out that ugly bird-headed beast lying askew in its nest, defiantly raising its bird head at her.

I'll chop off your head and kick it around like a ball later, Qiaoqiao thought with a cold smile.

Looking at the green fluid flowing within the tiny black bumps all over its body, it was likely a poisonous beast.

This creature was full of poison, parasitizing the phoenix tree's root system like a parasite. It would be strange if the phoenix tree could recover.

This creature not only relied on the phoenix tree, constantly drawing its life force over the years, but also discharged toxins from its body, which caused the surrounding phoenix tree roots and branches to turn dark and wilted—a clear sign of poisoning.

Qiao Mu's large eyes darted around. She took out the Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron and unhurriedly began refining medicinal liquid.

Her small hands took out a rather large soup pot from her inner realm, and Qiao Mu continuously poured nutrient solution into the pot.

Jiu Jiu, standing beside her, watched with slightly wide eyes.

It smacked its lips, jumped to the edge of the soup pot, and lowered its head to peck a mouthful.

"The taste is okay, right?" Qiaoqiao murmured to herself.

Although her cooking skills weren't great, her pharmaceutical skills were extraordinary. Whether it was pills, medicinal juices, or liquids, they all tasted quite good...

Qiao Mu took out a small ladle and scooped a mouthful.

Her small hand fanned over the medicinal liquid, and a fragrant aroma slowly drifted into the tunnel.

She knew very well the medicine she was refining.

Even the rotten peach blossoms (a playful term for Feng Chen and the others) couldn't resist this temptation, let alone an inexperienced young beast.

She wasn't worried it wouldn't take the bait.

Qiao Mu pulled out a cold smile, deliberately placed the soup pot at the entrance of the tunnel, and, holding a ladle, poured the liquid onto the phoenix tree's branches, spoonful by spoonful, as if watering flowers.

Little Water, Little Earth, and Jiu Jiu squatted by the soup pot, each holding their own small spoons, occasionally taking a sip or two.

While watering the phoenix tree, Qiao Mu continuously took out more medicinal ingredients, putting them back into the Nine-Star Reflecting Moon Cauldron to continue refining.

Various medicinal soups were freshly made, and Qiao Mu lined up pots, bowls, and other utensils of all sizes.

She kept refining until evening before finishing work and having dinner.

Little Water and Little Earth took charge, cooking vegetable soup and roasting meat. Qiaoqiao ate a small bowl of sacred rice, patted her little belly, and found a comfortable spot to lie down under the phoenix tree's branches, then went to sleep.

As she slept, the bird-headed, snake-tailed beast below truly felt like it was going mad.

The agony!

Can't you guys just fill up that hole?!

Various fragrant scents of pills, medicine, and food wafted over.

It was truly driving the beast insane!

This human must be doing it on purpose, making it so obvious, just to lure it up.

This little human must have accomplices waiting for it up there.

It would be foolish to walk into a trap and deliver itself to them.

It had always occupied the deep roots of the phoenix tree, so the human would inevitably be hesitant to act, not daring to do anything to it.
