Chapter 260 - The Bold Jiang Hao
?”Extract!” Jiang Hao called out urgently.
Almost immediately, three emerald-like pills materialized, their crystalline sheen glistening. A subtle, refreshing scent of wood followed, uplifting the spirits of anyone who caught a whiff. Clearly, these were no ordinary pills.
Jiang Hao wasted no time in giving the system another command. “System, craft eight more jade bottles for me!”
“Affirmative, host,” the system responded.
?In a flash, several pieces of jade in Jiang Hao's system space vanished, replaced by a set of intricately carved jade bottles. He selected one and carefully placed the three Grass and Wood Pills inside. His eyes then eagerly turned to the remaining vines at his feet.
Without a moment's pause, he grabbed a vine and instructed the system, “System, deconstruct!”
?”Understood, host.”
“Ding... Congratulations, host, on a successful deconstruction...”
......
No sooner had Jiang Hao departed than a frenzy of vines cascaded from the trees, lashing wildly at the spot he had just vacated. Their force seemed capable of rending the very fabric of the sky and earth.
?Then, from the depths of the jungle, a piercing roar echoed—an unmistakable sound of fury.
?......
By now, Jiang Hao, astride Xiao Soong, had put considerable distance between them and the chaos. As they galloped along, he pondered whether the world had changed or if it had always been this way, hidden from his sight.
Memories of his grandfather's words and the system's explanations surfaced in his mind.
“Maybe this is the change the system's arrival has wrought upon the world,” he mused.
Fueled by this thought, Xiao Soong's relentless pace had them skirting the edge of the primeval forest within an hour.
?Throughout their journey, there was no sign of Gu Quanzhong and his party. They might have already left the forest, or they could still be wandering within its vast expanse. Given the forest's enormity, their paths not crossing was hardly surprising.
?At the protective barrier, Jiang Hao retrieved a bottle of Vital Essence from his inventory, poured it into a bowl with some water, and offered it to Xiao Soong. The creature lapped it up with eager enthusiasm, tongue flicking rapidly until the bowl was clean.
?Patting Xiao Soong affectionately, Jiang Hao said, “Head on back now. Next time I come, we'll have more fun together!”
