BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 - Harvest!
Ban caressed the branch and tapped four different locations on its base. He then used his knuckles and made another tap at the top of the branch. And with a slight creak, the branch immediately fell off to Ban\'s hands.
He nodded his head, feeling satisfied with his first harvest. He then moved towards the tree that had already started to rot to try and help it first before proceeding with another harvest.
He dug a foot deep soil around the root of the tree before gathering some Elder Monk Tree dried leaves. He then put them in the whole he just dug before watering it with the water that he brought along.
After that, Ban proceeded to harvest one Elder Monk Tree branch tree after another.
While he was busy harvesting, he did not notice that one individual was actually staring at him with interest. And as if it could not endure it anymore, the individual finally decided to move towards him.
Swoosh!
The individual disappeared from where it stood earlier, before arriving beside Ban in an instant.
Ban was in the process of harvesting his twentieth branch and he was just about to use his knuckle to knock it off when he discovered that Eva was acting strange.
She instantly transformed into her combat form, before gazing at the other branch with a fear in her eyes. She was trembling hard, as she pinched Ban\'s ear to garner his attention.
"Eva?" Ban tilted his head in confusion, and when he noticed her acting that way, he immediately followed her line of sight, and that\'s when Ban felt that his heart wanted to come out of his mouth due to nervousness and fear.
His eyes went wide and as if in instinct, he immediately jumped off the Elder Monk Tree even forgetting the fact that he was at a high location.
Boom!
His legs wobbled like noodles before he fell butt-first when he landed forcefully on the ground. Eva also jumped off his shoulder during this time and stood guard in front of Ban as she raised four of her arms, ready to fight the figure that had followed them all the way down in an instant.
Ban immediately stood up from the ground before taking the Ant Mask, the Noble Moth Cloak and the Twin Baton inside the Dimensional Storage as he warily stared at the figure in front of them.
The figure only reached up to slightly below Ban\'s waist. It has a white long mustache, beard and brows that extend all the way to its stomach. It\'s eyes were closed tightly while its hand was placed behind its back. Although one could feel tranquility while looking at the figure, one could also not ignore the dangerous vibes that it keeps on emitting.
"How did you do that, young-one?\' The figure spoke in a calm manner as it clasped its long beard and stroked it up and down while tilting its head as if observing Ban\'s movement.
\'Elder Red-Panda!\' Ban screamed inside his head, as he tried his best not to fall with his legs getting wobbly due to fear.
The figure in front of him is the Guardian of the Elder Monk Trees. Grandpa Kuys already told him about it earlier, but he said that it was all rumors and no need to worry about it as even he himself also did not meet it when he came here to harvest some Elder Monk Tree branches.
He also asked the System about it but upon scanning the Book of Techniques, it could not find any record of the Elder Red-Panda so he fully believes that it was really just rumors.
However, when he used the System to scan the figure in front of him this time, he could not help but feel thunder crawling down his spine.
[Successful! Beast is identified as the Elder Red-Panda!

This was his first time seeing this kind of content. Aside from the name of the Beast and its Grade-Unique, that also just encountered now, he did not get anything.
Just as he was about to ask the System to inject the knowledge about the new grade, the Elder Red-Panda suddenly disappeared before arriving in front of Ban\'s face in an instant, even bypassing Eva in the process.
The Elder Red-Panda opened its tightly closed eyes slightly at this moment before staring at Ban\'s eyes profoundly. Even though there was the Ant Mask between their eyes, Ban still felt that its gaze actually managed to bypass it, as if the Ant Mask, and its effects did not hinder what the Elder Red-Panda was seeing.
The Elder Red-Panda then raised its hand slowly towards Ban\'s forehead. However, even though it appeared slow, it was actually extremely fast as Ban, and even Eva had yet to react to it.
BOOM!
The Elder Red-Panda flicked Ban\'s forehead in a leisurely manner, making his body fly like a broken kite, before smashing on one of the Elder Monk Trees.
"That\'s rude, young-one! You used something to identify me, right?" The Elder Red-Panda said while stroking its long white beard, before its body slowly descended down like a feather floating down.
The Elder Red-Panda moved so fast that Eva was only able to react and turn her head back when she heard the loud sound behind her. When she noticed that Ban was no longer behind her and instead, was already far away, sprawling below the Elder Monk Tree, she could not take it anymore as her rage overpowered her nervousness and fear.
She instantly summoned the Royal Ant Guard, before using the [Skill] Fluid Release towards the Elder Red-Panda.
The Elder Red-Panda only stared at the slow-moving liquid in front of it as if it was nothing. And when the liquid finally arrived near its face, the Elder Red-Panda suddenly raised its beard and used it to deflect Eva\'s Fluid Release [Skill], as if it was just child\'s play.
The Royal Ant Guard arrived first, however, before it could even try to attack, the Elder Red-Panda had already flicked it away just like how it flicked Ban earlier, although what it used to Ban earlier was much stronger.
Seeing that, Eva no longer tried to attack as she instantly used her powerful [Skill].
WRATH!
