God of Cooking, Monster: No, we have become ingredients

Chapter 2698 Persuading the Tree Ghost

Because of Ye Changqing, their attitude towards Qi Wu and the others became much more amiable.

Just like now, Qi Wu was leaning against the trunk of a tree spirit. The tree spirit not only did not refuse, but even chose an extremely comfortable position for him.

Such a kind tree spirit was something Qiwu had never dared to dream of before.

Right now, the only one who's busy is Ye Changqing.

After all, only he could appease these tree spirits, so he kept busy in front of the stove.

The plates of delicious food were almost devoured by the surrounding tree spirits the moment they were served.

Humans and barbarian gods at least eat one bite at a time, but this tree demon is truly outrageous; it's gone in one gulp.

In terms of cooking speed, it surpasses even the Black Soul Beast.

Ye Changqing had been cooking for several hours before finally stopping, feeling somewhat exhausted.

It felt like he had rediscovered that feeling of being a beast of burden from his past life. Although many years had passed, Ye Changqing still remembered the experience of swinging a spatula until it was smoking.

Back then, it seemed like once you stood in front of the stove, you wouldn't be able to get down until the world was dark and you were exhausted.

Want to rest? Absolutely not, even drinking water is a struggle.

These tree spirits reminded Ye Changqing of his past life as a cow or horse.

"can we talk?"

Ye Changqing didn't know if these tree spirits could understand him, but he had asked Qi Wu before, and the barbarian gods couldn't understand him anyway.

I'm not sure if we can communicate, but I'll give it a try for now.

Looking up at the tree spirits around him, they seemed stunned for a moment upon hearing Ye Changqing's words.

The waving tree trunks stopped, and the surroundings were quiet, without a sound.

He thought he had failed and that the two sides were completely unable to communicate, but the next second, Ye Changqing felt an inexplicable force enveloping him.

This force was not hostile, nor did it forcefully enter his body. On the contrary, it seemed to be seeking Ye Changqing's consent, as if it wanted to establish a connection with his soul.

Upon realizing this, Ye Changqing was taken aback. Was this a tree spirit?

Looking up at the towering trees before him, Ye Changqing gritted his teeth, released his divine soul, and actively connected with this power.

Having accepted this power, the next second, a message came into Ye Changqing's soul.

"It's delicious, we like it."

This message was transmitted directly to the soul, and the source of this message was undoubtedly the surrounding tree spirits.

Because of the language barrier, these tree spirits used this method to communicate with Ye Changqing.

Upon receiving this message, Ye Changqing was overjoyed. No matter what the method, as long as they could communicate, that was fine.

The next second, Ye Changqing also mobilized his divine soul power to express his meaning to these tree spirits.

"I'm glad you like it. Would you like to eat more?"

"think."

"Then let's make a deal..."

This time, Ye Changqing wasn't just looking to protect himself; he planned to go all the way and have these tree spirits escort everyone back to the Yanwu tribe.

Although it's unknown whether these tree spirits can do it, after all, according to Qi Wu, tree spirits cannot leave the Black Mist Forest.

But simply receiving shelter doesn't actually solve the problem, since the Fire Spirit Tribe and the Scale Stone Tribe are still guarding outside the forest.

We can't just stay in this dark fog forest forever, waiting for rescue.

Besides, even if the Yanwu tribe's rescue team arrives, it's not guaranteed they'll be able to save everyone.

Facing two major tribes at the same time, even though the Linshi tribe was not as strong as the Yanwu tribe, they still surpassed the Yanwu tribe when they joined forces.

Therefore, being able to return safely, leverage the power of the tribe's territory, and even fight is the best option.

Anyway, there's no loss whether it works out or not. It's just a matter of asking. If these tree ghosts don't agree, we can talk about it slowly.

Negotiation is just a back-and-forth game.

Ye Changqing was prepared to be rejected, but he didn't expect that after a brief silence, the tree spirits' answer would be so unexpected.

"Sure, but we'd like to eat your cooking again."

Hmm? ? ? Is this feasible?

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqing was immediately delighted. He had only intended to give it a try, but unexpectedly, it actually worked.

These tree spirits actually agreed to escort everyone safely back to the Yanwu tribe.

As for the conditions, naturally Ye Changqing must guarantee these tree spirits a good meal.

Ye Changqing had no reason to refuse these conditions, after all, even for his own safety, he couldn't afford to offend these tree spirits.

However, Ye Changqing still had a question in his mind: according to Qi Wu, these tree ghosts were unable to leave the Black Mist Forest, weren't they?

If that's the case, how will they escort everyone back to the Yanwu tribe?

However, when faced with Ye Changqing's question, the tree spirits gave a very strange answer: they said they would take the entire Black Mist Forest with them.

For a moment, Ye Changqing didn't understand at all what it meant to bring the entire Black Mist Forest along with it.

While Ye Changqing was talking to these tree spirits, what Qi Wu and the others saw was Ye Changqing, who had just stopped moving, standing there dumbfounded for a long time.

He didn't even respond to Qi Wu and the others' calls.

This startled Qi Wu and the others. Could something have gone wrong? Did these tree spirits stop recognizing people after they'd eaten and drunk their fill?

He immediately disregarded his own injuries and got up to go to Ye Changqing's side.

After a thorough inspection, no problem was found, and then they tried calling out to him for a long time.

It was only with great difficulty that Ye Changqing was finally awakened. Looking at the recovered Ye Changqing, Qi Wu said with a worried expression.

"Brother Ye, what happened to you just now? You scared me to death."

"It's nothing, I just talked to the tree spirit."

Ok? ? ?

Ye Changqing replied with a smile, without hiding anything, but to Qi Wu's ears, these words were truly absurd.

What do you mean you communicated with the tree spirit? You can't possibly communicate with that thing.

Let alone Ye Changqing being an outsider among the human race, even these native barbarian gods couldn't communicate with the tree spirits in the Black Mist Forest.

It doesn't make any sense at all; it's even unknown whether these tree spirits can speak.

This evergreen tree can communicate with these tree spirits? Is that even possible?

Qi Wu was momentarily stunned. This simple sentence seemed to have touched on a blind spot in his knowledge. It shouldn't be like this.

However, Ye Changqing's next words left Qi Wu stunned, as he heard Ye Changqing say with a smile on his face.

“Brother Qiwu, I just talked to these tree spirits and they are willing to escort us safely back to the Yanwu tribe. We don’t need to worry about the dangers of the Huoling tribe and the Linshi tribe anymore. These tree spirits will help us.”

Ok? ? ?
