The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 583: Third-Order Organism

Everyone was puzzled, not knowing what had happened.

"You, turn around, you’re not allowed to look at me!" Ling Yao called out from behind them.

Only then did people understand; she felt she was wearing too little and couldn’t let Ling Feng see her thighs!

The girls all covered their mouths, giggling, and looked at Ling Feng with teasing eyes.

Ling Feng, on the other hand, had a helpless expression, thinking to himself that Ling Yao was perfect in every way except for being too conservative about this. He would have to get her to change that attitude sometime!

He had no choice but to leave since he couldn’t just thick-facedly stay, so he got up and said, "Well, I’ll step back then, and go check on how Qian Qian and the others are doing in the Fourth Layer!"

After he spoke, he stepped towards the entrance. Ling Yao immediately hid behind Li Shiyun and Zhang Lan, shifting with Ling Feng’s movements to ensure he wouldn’t catch even a glimpse of her!

Under the amused gazes of everyone, Ling Feng left with a bitter smile and then headed straight for the Fourth Layer.

No sooner had he reached the entrance than he saw Xun Qianqian, Joanna, and Miao Lanlan coming out!

As their eyes met, Ling Feng smiled and asked, "Why have you come out?"

"Ling Feng, you arrived just in time, I have some good news for you!" Xun Qianqian said cheerfully.

"What good news?" Ling Feng asked.

Xun Qianqian didn’t say but instead nudged Joanna: "You tell him!"

"Ah, you should tell him!" Joanna shook her head.

"Or maybe Lanlan can tell him!" Xun Qianqian continued.

Miao Lanlan shook her head: "I won’t say it, you should tell him yourself!"

Ling Feng was confused, scratching his head; "What’s going on with you all, what’s the matter, just tell me!"

"Hehe, well, we cracked the secret of that big tree," Xun Qianqian hesitantly said.

"Really? That’s great news, but why do you seem a bit sheepish?" Ling Feng asked, puzzled.

"Well, why don’t you first listen to the story about that tree?" Xun Qianqian said, her eyes darting around.

"No way!"

Ling Feng looked alert, feeling she was being evasive, so despite his curiosity, he decided he needed to find out what was up with her first!

So he continued, "First, tell me what’s up with you, and then we’ll talk about the tree!"

"Oh, it’s nothing big, just that I used up all your bullets!" Xun Qianqian stomped her foot.

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I thought it was some sort of terrible problem. If they’re used up, they’re used up, at worst I’ll just go ask Zhang He for more!"

Miao Lanlan and Joanna, stifling their laughter, looked a bit flushed, indicating that there was likely more to the story!

Sure enough, Xun Qianqian smiled and said, "Then I’m relieved. But next time, can you get more of those high-explosive bullet heads? They’re really useful, they can kill a bunch of crabs in one go!"

"What high-explosive..."

Ling Feng was taken aback, then quickly came to his senses, and hastily asked, "You took the sniper rifle that I stored under the bed?"

"Uh... I saw it when I went to find the Gatling bullets..."

Seeing his anxious face, Xun Qianqian, like a child who had done something wrong, bowed her head and said quietly.

"Uh... where’s the rifle? Why don’t I see you with it?"

Ling Feng’s heart suddenly became anxious.

Xun Qianqian looked up at him: "The gun is inside, there’s no problem, it’s just out of bullets."

"Phew..."

Ling Feng let out a sigh of relief: "It’s fine as long as the gun is okay. That thing is the main deal; as for the bullets, I’ll figure out a way if they’re all used up!"

"Why, didn’t you just say you could go ask Zhang He for more?" Xun Qianqian asked.

Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "I was talking about Gatling bullets. Those for the sniper rifle are newly developed, there were only so many made, and you’ve used them all up!"

Xun Qianqian: "..."

Seeing her look of regret, Ling Feng could only comfort her: "Don’t worry, you’ve achieved your goal anyway, we’ll have more bullets later, it’s not urgent!"

"Alright then."

Xun Qianqian, seeing he wasn’t very angry, finally relaxed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Ling Feng laughed and then asked, "Now can you tell me? What’s the deal with that big tree?"

As soon as the topic came up, Xun Qianqian immediately became energized, her face animated as she said, "That’s not just any tree; it’s alive!"

"Alive? What kind of life?"

Ling Feng was somewhat confused and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Who knows how many years it has lived; it has developed Spiritual Wisdom. After the three of us took down the giant monsters in the vicinity, this guy actually started pleading with us!" Xun Qianqian explained.

"What? It can talk?"

"Absolutely!"

Xun Qianqian smiled and said, "Impressive, right?"

"It’s not just impressive, it’s almost like something out of a fantasy!"

Ling Feng muttered to himself, not expecting this outcome.

Seeing the three looking exhausted, he didn’t ask further, "You go take a bath and rest. I’ll go have a look by myself."

"Sure, no giant creatures will appear in that area for a while; you can go there boldly and confidently!" Xun Qianqian said.

"The way you say it, even if there were monsters, you think I’d be scared?"

Ling Feng chuckled lightly and turned to enter the Fourth Layer Heaven.

All along the way, there were no obstructions, and the ground was littered with the corpses of various massive creatures: octopuses, sea turtles, and countless crabs.

Seeing these things, Ling Feng remembered Chen Ping’s words and thought to himself that he was going to be busy for the next couple of days!

In his eyes, this wasn’t just meat; it was money!

To not pick up money was to defy both heaven and earth!

Calculating in his head, he hurried on his way, and soon Ling Feng arrived at the foot of the enormous tree.

Looking up at the massive canopy, he shouted, "Hey, can you hear me?"

The sound echoed among the leaves and branches above, but unfortunately, there was no response.

Ling Feng scratched his head, thinking he had forgotten to ask how to communicate with this tree.

After shouting a couple of times to no avail, he stepped forward and braced himself against the rough trunk, intending to sit and take a break.

But a message appeared in his mind instantly: "Titan Spirit Root (Third Tier)."

"Yo!"

A glint of light flashed in Ling Feng’s eyes; this tree was actually a third-tier creature!

The Jungle Hunter he had encountered previously was already impressive at tier one, and here was a tier three!

Ling Feng had thought that the creatures in the Fourth Layer might be of various tiers since he hadn’t received any indication from the marine creatures he encountered before.

But the surprise was waiting for him right here.

"Titan Spirit Root? What kind of tree is that? I’ve never heard of it," Ling Feng mused to himself.

No sooner had he spoken than he heard a deep voice beside him, "Are you looking for me?"

The voice was so abrupt that Ling Feng was startled and looked around, realizing there was no one else present before he understood it was the tree that had spoken.

So, he nodded, "Yes, I’m looking for you!"

"What do you want from me?"

The deep voice was devoid of emotion, its tone mechanical.

Ling Feng frowned slightly, "Of course, I have something for you. You’re called Titan Spirit Root, right? As a third-tier creature, you must tell me, do you have any treasures here or not?"

"No!"

The Titan Spirit Root’s answer was straightforward.

Ling Feng didn’t believe it for a second; how could a third-tier creature not have any treasures?

He chuckled, "Playing coy with me, huh? You believe I’d light a fire and burn you up?"

"I don’t believe..."

At this mechanical response, Ling Feng was left speechless!

He then took out from the Ring the white liquid left by the sea turtle and threatened loudly, "Don’t believe? Well, I can light this right now and give you a demonstration!"
