Become A Human In Another World
ACT 4: Chapter 11 - Before Hunting
It was the morning when Liu Xiu had already woken up from his sleep. Lucky before going to bed, he had already gotten some cookies from Xi, so he was not so hungry.
He was already awake when all was asleep, as usual to do the exercises and some other things. Precisely because in this forest, he was happier because he could run to and fro, jump and some others.
Liu Xiu wanted to hunt at first, but given yesterday's events, it was clear he would undo his intentions.
He also visited the place yesterday, and found that the entire destroyed forest had changed back to what it was. It was definitely not something that could be reasoned with common sense.
That way, when the sun started greeting he had already finished his training and returned to the World Tree.
Liu Xiu also blended in with the citizens quickly. At first he approached the child to play, and as soon as he gained the child's trust, other citizens could also trust him.
The monstrous religion was indeed an ability that Liu Xiu possessed.
But he helped the whole community in doing its job, at least in a few moments.
Xi who saw it all from above was astonished at once confused.
"How could a human being possibly possess that much magic? I don't get it. And again, he could see the World Tree, it was also a very extraordinary thing. He feels like a different level to me, with all of us" Xi said leaning back into the tree, observing Liu Xiu from a distance.
"The Tree of the World will not appear to ordinary people. Ordinary people would only see this as a forest. And worse, ordinary people would just feel bad about getting in here."
"He could see and get in here without feeling strange. He's a mystery."
"In addition, he can quickly blend in with the surrounding residents. It's good." continued Xi while nodding his head happily.
He turned around, headed to his house with a smile.
"It's good that I greet her properly this time" she said walking with a slight jump, showing her mood.

"Welcome, Mr. Liu Xiu. What about your trip?" xi asked as he greeted Liu Xiu at the door.
"What's wrong with you? Arrived to be polite like that? You changed your mind and want to make a marriage request?" liu Xiu asked lightly while laughing happily.
It instantly made Xi's face flushed red, and jumped back.
"Where is possible!! I'm just being polite because you're the one who's going to help us, and you're our guest, stupid!! Don't think anything strange!!" xi shouted while turning around to hide his face, while crossing his arms.
("Indeed, I thought about doing that. Because the figure that the World Tree received was definitely not an arbitrary figure. How does he know my thoughts?") ask Xi in your heart.
"Bad! I like the way you talk like that. So don't change. I also hate formalities." Liu Xiu said.
"And also, I found out a few things about this World Tree matter yesterday. And I want to talk about it." said Liu Xiu now with a serious face.
Xi was a little surprised, and he smiled a little.
"Then, let's talk about it while eating." Xi asked.
The table was laid out instantly, and food was brought out. It was all done without the help of people and using only magic, and it still left Liu Xiu in awe.
"alright. What's the problem?" xi asked as each of them was already in position.
"Some parts of the World Tree have been affected. As a result, there are some leaves of the tree that fall and blacken. It must have absorbed some things from there" Liu Xiu said.
"And again, the fertility rate of the soil and the intensity of the plants in the west, it's worse. I've also tried to get there, but I think it would be bad if it wasn't approved."
"In other words, it's been absolutely critical. We have to get rid of all that immediately." he explained.
The atmosphere became quiet again. Xi's hand that was scooping the vegetables came to a standstill for a moment hearing Liu Xiu's explanation.
"I can do it, even by myself. Maybe there'll be some trouble, but by then I'll be back." Liu Xiu nodded confidently.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
"No-no. I understand your situation, your circumstances. This is a special problem that you cannot face. How to say it, it's like your counter." Liu Xiu replied with a smile.
"Koun, huh? What'sthat?" ask Xi.
He did not understand what Liu Xiu had said just now, because it was basically the language of Liu Xiu from his former world.
"It's okay. Then, after this I'll be ready."
"You're leaving in the afternoon?"
"No. I'll leave a little afternoon. I will be more comfortable with the darkness around me" Liu Xiu said. It made Xi a little confused, but Liu Xiu paid him no heed.
***
The problem that the World Tree was facing was the existence of a figure controlling dark magic around the Magic Forest. The figure polluted the environment with its Dark Magic, and it impacted the ecosystem in the Magic Forest.
And what made it difficult was, the Fairy Special Race could not survive if there was Dark Magic around them.
The body of the Fairy Race would automatically absorb Dark Magic in nature, and after absorbing a while they would die. Thus, even though the Fairy Race was the strongest in the forest, they still could not do anything if faced with Dark Magic.
That was why now Liu Xiu was sent down to deal with this person. At the very least, making him leave this forest alone was enough, Hiang Xi said.
But...
"I'm sure he's part of the cult, after all. Because only they can only make dark magic this thick." Liu Xiu said as he prepared himself alone.
He touched his Zadkiel, which he hadn't worn for a long time because he used magic too much now.
"I'm back to relying on you, partner." said Liu Xiu, stroking the object.
Liu Xiu remembered all his grudges on the Cult first. But considering what happened lately made him have to hold back his anger. That was why he was now working alone, without involving anyone else.
"alright. Let's go!" liu Xiu said after checking all his weapons.
***
"How about, Liu Xiu. Have you prepared everything? And do you want to leave now?" Xi had already greeted Liu Xiu at the village gate. Liu Xiu actually wanted to leave and work on his Quest silently, but it seemed Xi had expected that.
Liu Xiu who saw that only smiled softly, then walked over to Xi.
"Yahh, you could say so. Do you want to come?" liu Xiu asked a little jokingly.
Xi slightly laughed with that, then uttered something like a special spell, then his hand suddenly shone into something wrapped in light.
The light then united, entering together like ants fighting over sugar. The light then changes shape into a box, which gives off a slightly greenish shade.
"Bring this. There are only 10 of them. It was useful for inhibiting the development of Dark Magic in your body. If you feel any worse, you can use one" Xi said, handing over the box.
Liu Xiu smiled strangely, but his heart felt uneasy. Basically, Dark Magic is hard not to affect him anymore, because even he was the ruler of Dark Magic first.
"thank you. I will remember this." Liu Xiu said.
He then said goodbye to Xi. Actually, Liu Xiu did not want to do so, because he thought it was a flag.
"All right! It's time for us to hunt tonight!!" Liu Xiu picked up his weapon when he had already reached the middle of the forest, and grinned happily.
