Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 268 Prisoners

"Sigh, war is truly brutal..."

March 7th, with Xing by his side, wandered around the camp.

What just happened was really embarrassing.

I just went undercover!

Why would this happen?

"Huh? What's that over there?" Xing noticed a guy tied up on one side of the camp, with a Cloud Cavalry soldier guarding him.

“Those seem to be prisoners,” March 7th said.

The two of them moved closer to that direction.

"Halt! Who goes there?" The Yun cavalry guards instantly became alert and raised their Guan Dao (a type of halberd) to ask.

“We are from the Starry Sky Train, reinforcements invited by your Lord Taibu,” March 7th said.

“The Star Train…” Yunqijun thought for a moment.

"Oh, it's you guys."

He immediately put down his halberd. "What do you want to do?"

“We want to talk to him,” Xing said, pointing to the prisoner.

“This…” Yunqijun hesitated for a moment. “Alright, that’s fine. But I must listen in on the whole thing, and this part of the conversation must be recorded.”

"No problem." Xing nodded.

The Yunqi soldiers sheathed their Guan Dao (a type of halberd), took a step back, and made way for the enemy.

As Xinghe and March 7th stepped forward, the prisoner spoke first, saying somberly:

"Hehe, finally I have someone to talk to. Being escorted by these silent, stern-faced Cloud Riders...hehe, so boring~"

"Hehe? Are you from Hehe Alien?" Xing asked.

"Hehe, guess." The prisoner revealed a strange smile.

"Hehe." Xingye also started to giggle.

"whee...."

"whee...."

"Hey, you two, that's enough!" March 7th couldn't help but say.

"Do you know about star cores?" March 7th asked directly.

"Hehe, that glowing seed? Haha, I've seen it before, it's so beautiful. If you look inside, you can hear voices and hear it talking." As soon as it was mentioned, the captive's gaze became devout.

"The old leader said that with this, we can breathe new life into the 'Jianmu' tree. Hehe, I didn't believe it at first."

"We've tried so many methods, and spent several lifetimes trying, but there's still no sign that the 'Jianmu' tree will come back to life."

"But now you see—hehe, 'Only the power of the Star God can recreate miracles.' That's right, that's right, the great Medicine King 'Abundance'!"

"That's enough, stop giggling!" March 7th was getting annoyed.

"Oh? Then I'll change to another one, hehe." The prisoner chuckled.

“You…” March 7th was exasperated.

"Fine, do as you please."

"So what did you do to these Cloud Riders?"

"Hehe, what did we do? We healed our own compatriots. Hehe, being trapped in weak flesh and blood must have been very painful..."

"The soul suffers, but the flesh ascends; isn't that a blessing?" the prisoner continued.

"Damn it... I really want to kill him right now." The Yunqi soldier next to him clenched his fist.

"Oh, you don't understand... short-lived beings don't understand. What 'Demonic Body'? That's a second life bestowed by the Medicine King! It dissolves ego, grants an immortal body, and allows for a free and unrestrained life!"

"I see a thirst for power in your eyes. Life is too short, isn't it? Hehe, I can, I can make you..."

The Yunqi Army became alert and immediately warned, "Don't be fooled by his sweet talk."

"Heh heh, just teasing them, sir," the prisoner mocked.

"Hehe, without the blessing of 'abundance,' you short-lived species couldn't withstand this 'transformation.'"

“I have one more question,” March 7th continued.

"What else? Since you let me chuckle, I can tell you." The prisoner chuckled twice.

"You haven't changed your leader, have you? Why are you starting a war? Is this on the new leader's orders?"

March 7th was somewhat confused. Even though the Medicine King's Secret Manual had already been incorporated into Eve's rebellion, why were they still fighting with the Cloud Cavalry?

With just one word from Eve, wouldn't the Secret of the Medicine King be disbanded on the spot?

"A new leader? Ridiculous." The prisoner laughed.

"What new leader? We only have one leader."

"You...don't you approve of the new leader?" March 7th asked doubtfully.

"I acknowledge the Medicine King, and then... her," the prisoner said earnestly.

“This…” March 7th was somewhat surprised.

It seems that Eve has not fully mastered the secrets of the Medicine King.

Otherwise, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.

That person named Dan Shu is extremely dangerous.

“That former leader, she…”

"That's enough, I won't answer anymore." The prisoner's eyes were filled with seriousness.

“This…” March 7th frowned helplessly.

“We’ve finished asking,” March 7th said to the Cloud Cavalry.

The Yunqi Army nodded slightly and took the prisoner away.

"I never expected this to happen..." March 7th became somewhat worried.

"I wonder where Eve is now?"

Little Eve hasn't followed them since they arrived at Dan Ding Si; they guess the wounded over there haven't been treated yet.

If she were there, she would surely be able to get some more information out of the prisoners.

March 7th and Xing were walking when a Yun cavalryman with a livid face approached them, seemingly having just returned from the front lines.

The Yunqi soldiers recognized Xinghe and March 7th immediately and nodded in greeting.

"How is the battle going?" March 7th asked.

"Following the orders of the Grand Diviner, we captured this place a few hours ago. Only then did we learn that our adversary was the 'Secret Transmission of the Medicine King,' a follower of the Medicine Master who was the ancestor of plague and longevity."

"Everything was going smoothly at first. Neither the sorcerers of the 'Secret Teachings of the Medicine King' nor the strange beasts they commanded were a match for us."

"But not long after, the brothers and sisters in the ranks suddenly began to indiscriminately kill each other, friend or foe..."

As he spoke, Yunqijun sighed.
