228: Chapter 227: Futile Efforts, Like Drawing Water with a Bamboo Basket 228: Chapter 227: Futile Efforts, Like Drawing Water with a Bamboo Basket After capturing several monkeys, Zhou Tian didn’t hesitate and continued on the path they had previously taken.
When he reached the previous stopping point, he took out the monkeys and threw them towards the front of the passage.
“Ee, ee, ee…” The monkeys didn’t take kindly to Zhou Tian’s rough treatnt.
Bearing their teeth and brandishing their claws, they stared at Zhou Tian.
If it weren’t for the unfavorable situation, they probably would have pounced directly at Zhou Tian.
Zhou Tian ignored the reckless monkeys.
He felt that they couldn’t even sense the difference in strength between both sides.
Trying to provoke such beings was rather difficult for Zhou Tian.
Besides, even if Zhou Tian didn’t react, the monkeys had no ti to spare for him anymore.
Everything happened as Zhou Tian predicted.
The magic plants didn’t care whether the creatures near them were native jungle animals or outsiders.
All they cared about was preying on whatever they could sense.
Probably due to this characteristic, most creatures in the jungle stayed away from them!
Upon sensing the aura of the monkeys, nearby magic plants quickly attacked them.
Once the monkeys entered a certain area, a bunch of green leaves shot out sharply, turning the monkeys into pieces before they could react.
“Good thing I used those dead monkeys to scout the area.
Otherwise, I might have fallen into this trap.
I had already experienced those attacks which killed the monkeys.
It is a kind of magic plant that looks like wild grass.
Its appearance is very inconspicuous, even when it is attacking.
However, the attacks launched by such unspectacular plants are terrifying.
Zhou Tian had calculated that each of those leaves could cause him hundreds of points of damage.
It might seem insignificant, but each wave of attacks from that magic plant was continuous.
Hence, their destructive power was naturally horrifying.
In previous encounters with a few of those magic plants, Zhou Tian had nearly been wounded.
However, the magic plants that just killed several monkeys which numbered up to a dozen.
Given such a situation, even Zhou Tian would enter a precarious state if hit by hundreds or thousands of flying leaves without any preparation.
He wouldn’t just lose his life, but also remain clueless about how he had died.
However, those magic plants were most formidable due to the unexpected nature of their attacks.
Now that Zhou Tian already knew the position of those magic plants, dealing with them naturally beca quite simple.
Skilled in leveraging distant attack skills such as Divine Thunder, Zhou Tian destroyed all the magic plants from a distance.
Latterly, Zhou Tian himself stepped forward for a test and found that he didn’t encounter any other attacks when he walked toward that area again.
He was certain that there were no other magic plants along this short path.
Afterwards, Zhou Tian retreated.
After catching several more monkeys from the living area of the monkey group, he resud his exploration journey.
As a result, anyti Zhou Tian felt uncertain about the road ahead, he would catch a few monkeys to scout.
In the end, he understood the layout of the magic plants along the route.
Naturally, it beca much easier for him to pass through.
At the expense of nearly a hundred monkey lives, Zhou Tian finally reached the end of that path.
However…
“Holy cow!” Zhou Tian had considered various outcos, but he had genuinely never expected that the end of the Ancient Ruins Space, where he had put so much hope into gaining sothing, would turn out to be a spatial fragnt.
Facing the chaotic turbulence at the end of the space, Zhou Tian didn’t know what to feel.
Zhou Tian had no doubt that the Elf Empire had made such arrangents because there was definitely sothing they needed to protect at the end of this path.
Zhou Tian believed that he would gain sothing after reaching there.
The problem was that this piece of different space only had a small path.
Although the Elf Empire’s arrangent was still there, what they wanted to protect was in another space fragnt.
Zhou Tian made a great effort, but he didn’t gain anything at all.
Zhou Tian found it hard to accept this reality.
However, whether he could accept it or not, it was what it was.
Even if he felt unhappy, nothing could be changed.
Should he go back?
The idea flashed across Zhou Tian’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
Though Zhou Tian failed to gain the expected benefits, he couldn’t bear to leave the Ancient Ruins Space just like this.
He contributed a lot of effort and harbored great hopes when he arrived.
If he were to withdraw in such a disheartened manner, Zhou Tian would definitely feel uncomfortable, even if the problem wasn’t his fault.
“Whatever, I don’t believe that this large piece of Ancient Ruins Space wouldn’t provide with any gains” In his determination to stay, Zhou Tian decided to spend more ti exploring the Ancient Ruins Space.
According to the arrangent of the Elves’ refuge, the main structure should be at the end of the passage.
However, now that the refuge space was broken and the space Zhou Tian was in was not the main fragnt, he naturally wouldn’t be able to gain the biggest benefit.
Though this was just a corner of the Ancient Ruins Space, Zhou Tian believed that there must be sothing he needed, given the strength of the Elf Empire.
Even if it was just about transplanting the magic plants to his territory’s border, Zhou Tian would consider it a significant gain if he had the capability to do so.
Zhou Tian might not be able to move the magic plants, but he believed that the Ancient Ruins Space contained more than just magic plants.
Based on the elves’ research on flora and fauna, he believed that he could surely gain sothing after sifting through the space.
After making up his mind, Zhou Tian imdiately set into action.
Besides the path, there was an extensive jungle in the Ancient Ruins Space, inhabited by a plethora of creatures.
Zhou Tian believed that precisely because these creatures existed, as long as he searched the area, he was sure to find sothing.
