The ruins of Tree Heart City have indeed become weird.
Not only did they encounter giant lantern monsters in the marginal areas, but Si Xueyi and Qing Lin also encountered many difficult monsters.
Many monsters that were not dangerous at all in the past will always have some mutant monsters, which is very unusual.
"My two previous visits went smoothly. I went to the Dryad Tribe in less than half a day. Now it seems that I can't make it through three days."
Qing Lin frowned slightly and said a little tiredly.
The wood spirit beads come from the core of the tree spirit after death, but not all tree spirits have cores. It requires a certain amount of chance and luck.
Qing Lin came twice before and killed dozens of tree spirits but failed to harvest the wood spirit beads.
In the end, she was targeted by the tree spirit tribe and was put in a very dangerous situation, so she had to return without success.
Si Xueyi said calmly: "No problem, just take me there. I will definitely get the Wood Spirit Pearl."
Qinglin blinked and said, "Why?"
Si Xueyi smiled and said, "Because my eyes are different."
He has the eye of creation and can spy on the creation of heaven and earth. He can detect at a glance which tree spirit possesses the wood spirit bead.
Qing Lin didn't understand what he meant, nodded and said: "Your eyes are indeed very beautiful."
Si Xueyi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and said: "It's no problem, hahaha."
They rested for a while and continued to set off.
…
On the only way to Xuanyin Lake, Ji Wuxue, Kui Jue and Zhao Hengying stayed on guard for two days and two nights and did not see Si Xueyi's shadow at all.
Kui Jue frowned and said, "He took a detour?"
Zhao Hengying immediately denied: "Impossible. This is the only way. If you avoid it, you will have to pass through at least three restricted areas and you will definitely die."
Ji Wuxue's face looked a little ugly.
After waiting for two days, the three of them were a little irritable and lost their patience.
Ji Wuxue said: "Perhaps, he has no intention of going to Xuanyin Lake."
Zhao Hengying immediately became anxious and said, "What should we do now? I wasted two days following your suggestion. Now it is almost impossible to find Si Xueyi."
Kui Jue advised: "Brother Ji can't be blamed for this. We lost track of him in the first place. Brother Ji, your secret technique must be used now."
Ji Wuxue's face looked a little ugly, but he still nodded.
Zhao Hengying and Kui Jue looked at Chaoji Wuxue with great interest, curious as to what his so-called secret method was.
But Ji Wuxue didn't make any move. He raised his hand, and a cute gray fat mouse crawled out of his sleeve.
The two people's eyes widened immediately. Zhao Hengying said: "This is the secret method you mentioned? It's just a pet beast. What's the price for this?"
Ji Wuxue said calmly: "This is the fantasy beast Duobao Mouse. It likes to collect and search for various treasures in the world. It is also very sensitive to smells. Using it to find people is actually making a fuss."
The two of them were overjoyed immediately.
Kui Jue smiled and said: "Brother Ji, if there is such a magical beast, why didn't you take it out earlier?"
Zhao Hengying's eyes flashed with a hint of greed that was not easy to detect.
The Duobao rat is a rare fantasy beast!
Although it has little combat power, its treasure hunting ability is truly unique and its value is unimaginably high.
Ji Wuxue has not yet advanced to the realm of heaven, so he probably has not signed a contract with this phantom beast.
Because signing a contract will tear apart part of the monk's soul, no one in the heavenly realm dares to bear such a price.
So I will only cultivate the relationship first, and then sign the contract after reaching the realm of heaven and the soul becomes stronger.
perhaps……
Zhao Hengying thought a lot in his mind, but his expression did not change at all.
Because he knew how terrifying Ji Wuxue was, and if he showed any signs of hostility, he would definitely kill him.
This guy's cruelty even scares evil cultivators.
Ji Wuxue didn't have time to guess what Zhao Hengying was thinking. He took out a top-quality spiritual jade from his storage bag and handed it over rather painfully.
After Duobao Mouse took it, he took it naturally, and then swallowed the top-quality jade with his bulging cheeks.
Like a squirrel hiding a treasure, he hid the best spiritual jade in his belly.
Kui Jue and Zhao Hengying were both shocked, and then they realized why Ji Wuxue didn't use the Duobao rat.
The Duobao rat rubbed its front paws and looked at Ji Wuxue innocently.
Ji Wuxue twitched the corner of his mouth and handed it another top-quality blood spirit jade, which bit into it.
Raising his head again, he looked at Ji Wuxue harmlessly, rubbing his front paws non-stop.
The meaning is quite clear, you have to pay more!
Kui Jue couldn't stand it any longer and raised his head and said, "Only top-grade spiritual jade? Why not use high-grade blood spiritual jade? Does this little guy have such a bright mind?"
Ji Wuxue didn't object and said calmly: "Then you give it a try."
Kui Jue took out a high-grade blood spirit jade, and Duobao Shu took it over, sniffed it, and swallowed it in front of Kui Jue's expectant eyes. He immediately showed joy.
Phew!
The Duobao rat spit it out directly and sprayed it on Kui Jue's face, causing the latter to curse loudly.
In the end, the Duobao rat swallowed ten top-quality blood jade and then stopped.
Ji Wuxue took out the wine glass. The Duobao Mouse sniffed it and immediately jumped to the ground and chased after him.
Swish, swish, swish!
It rushed hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye like lightning. Ji Wuxue and others quickly said: "Hurry up and chase!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, several people reacted.
"Isn't this the direction to Tree Heart City?"
"Good guy, this Si Xueyi is really unpredictable. If it weren't for Duobao Shu, who would have guessed that he was going to Tree Heart City!"
"This Dormouse is a bit greedy, but it does have two brushes."
Several people were in a good mood and followed closely behind Duobao Mouse.
…
Three days later, Si Xueyi and Qing Lin successfully arrived at the edge of the tree spirit tribe.
"Get some rest first, and I'll go get some information in the evening."
Si Xueyi said softly after sitting down.
After this period of experience, Si Xueyi realized that the Tree Heart City was indeed very strange, and almost all monsters had mutations.
The originally ordinary monster became so powerful that even the Arhat's golden body could not protect itself.
Si Xueyi's true dragon body was also attacked several times.
Qing Lin answered: "The source of this strangeness is most likely in the tree spirit tribe."
Si Xueyi nodded, quite acknowledging this.
Qing Lin's eyes showed concern and said: "Si Xueyi, be careful. If something happens to you, I will feel sorry for Duan Muxi and Hongyao girl."
She was thoughtful and knew that Si Xueyi said he wanted to explore.
In fact, she was planning to act alone, but the other party took care of her emotions and only said that she was gathering information.
Si Xueyi smiled and said: "You have a lot on your mind, so it's okay. Although I am arrogant, I will never do anything stupid that will lead to death."
"I've even guessed the reason for the strangeness."
Qing Lin widened his eyes and looked at Si Xueyi in disbelief. He was really shocked: "How did you guess that?"
Si Xueyi took out a pot of wine and said: "I came here many years ago. At that time, the forbidden land was much more lively than it is now, and there were even several cities."
Qing Lin was confused after hearing this. Many years ago, how many years ago?
The two chatted for a while, and Qing Lin suddenly said: "Si Xueyi, actually, if you think of a way, you can buy the Wood Spirit Pearl in Penglai Pavilion. Others may not be able to buy it, but I will definitely have a way to buy it."
Si Xueyi was drinking wine and was not surprised when she heard this and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.
Qing Lin's face turned slightly red, and he whispered: "I'm following you because I want to take advantage of the fact that my protector is in seclusion so that I can go out on adventures with you and have a chance to be alone."
She is not good at lying, and with her kind heart, she cannot hide her thoughts very well.
I thought it was just an ordinary tree heart city, but I didn't expect that things would become so complicated. As time went by, I started to feel guilty.
In three days, she couldn't remember how many times Si Xueyi had saved her.
Now that I learned that the other party was going to enter the Dryad tribe alone, I couldn't hold it back anymore, so I spoke out what was on my mind.
Si Xueyi had a gentle look on her face and said with a smile, "Is this a confession?"
Qing Lin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked embarrassed. He wanted to deny it, but he didn't know what he was expecting, so he couldn't speak.
Si Xueyi said softly: "I think it's okay. When you meet someone you like, there's nothing wrong with creating some situations where you can be alone together. Besides, the target is people like me."
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look up at the other party.
Si Xueyi said: "But don't have any expectations. My own affairs are a mess now... You are a good person."
Qing Lin couldn't hide his disappointment when he heard this, but his expression suddenly relaxed a lot and said: "You knew this would happen. We will still be friends, right?"
Si Xueyi blinked and said with a smile: "Of course, who doesn't want to be friends with the young master of Penglai Pavilion, let alone such a beautiful one."
Qing Lin felt much better.
Suddenly, Si Xueyi glanced around and saw a furry mouse appearing at the end of his field of vision.
He couldn't help but frown and said: "Dobao Rat? How come there is a Duobao Rat in this place?"
