Chapter 189 - 69: National Guardian Turtle
As early winter began to settle in, the outer edges of Yanpo Forest were clad in autumn yellows, a scene of withering all around.
But deep within Yanpo Forest, a different landscape emerged.
The ground was covered in tender grass, the Shangnu Flowers, commonly seen in Shang Kingdom, were blooming profusely, and fireflies danced through the night in the forest, the silence almost excessive.
In the depths of the forest, a half-human-high mound had formed.
This mound had existed for many years, sprouting anonymous green moss all over its risen surface.
Midnight had just passed, and the moon had only risen to the center of the forest, the moonlight like frost, filtering through the branches and spilling onto the top of the mound.
The fragrance of the spirit grass emanated from the top of the mound.
For a moment, the Dark Beasts all held their breath. A multicolored spirit grass stood there, shaped like orchid grass with slender leaves almost transparent. A delicate flower stalk emerged from among the leaves, adorned at the top with coral-red pearl-like tiny flowers.
The fragrance was wafting from this spirit grass, no more than three inches tall.
Most peculiar was that this spirit flower seemed to absorb Dark Energy, acting like a natural magnet, drawing most of the forest’s Dark Energy towards it under its influence.
Compared to the periphery of the forest, the Dark Energy here was much more abundant.
The Dark Beasts somewhat regretted not entering deeper into Yanpo Forest sooner, knowing that such a treasure spot existed.
