"Oh." Everyone nodded to show that they understood.
"Lass! Let's keep going!" Old Zao urged expectantly. After they dug up all the crystals, the mischievous path appeared again.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue looked at everyone's expectant expressions.
With great anticipation and curiosity, everyone continued forward.
But they stopped again before long.
"Xue'er, is this… this the real forest? How can the scenes earlier compare to this?" Leng Qingtian looked at the gigantic trees that towered into the clouds, and each of them required at least a hundred people to surround. He was speechless. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
"What we saw previously can only be regarded as the periphery!" Leng Ruoxue guessed. The original path in front of them had split into three forks. She didn't know which one to take.
"Girl, you have to choose carefully! You will encounter different things on each path. Moreover, this is the last place in this forest. After you clear this place, you'll encounter more danger outside," Butterfly explained.
"Do you mean that all three paths are safe?" Leng Ruoxue looked at Butterfly.
"Like I said, the first stage is safe. Of course, it includes this place. But I'm not too sure what's on these three paths. But there's definitely no danger," Butterfly said with certainty.
"What do you guys think?" Leng Ruoxue turned to look at Leng Qingtian and the others.
"Since there's no danger, why don't we split up so that we don't miss anything good?" Old Man suggested.
"Butterfly, is this okay?" Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainly.
"Probably!" Butterfly said after some thought.
Leng Ruoxue turned to look at everyone and said, "Grandpa, you split into two groups. I can go alone."
"Alright, Xue'er. Be careful!" Leng Qingtian said worriedly.
Leng Ruoxue turned her head and ordered Butterfly, "Okay, Butterfly, go with Big Brother!"
"Okay then. Handsome big brother, I'll follow you for now." Butterfly fluttered its wings and flew in front of Leng Ruohan.
After forming the groups, they each chose a path and walked in.
"Let's go too." Leng Ruoxue walked toward the last path with the little mink in her arms and Ball Ball on her shoulder.
As soon as she entered, she saw another patch of herbs. Leng Ruoxue let her beasts out to help her pick them without hesitation.
"Big Sister, I can help," said Ball Ball, who was resting on Leng Ruoxue's shoulder.
"Have a good rest. We can do it." Leng Ruoxue couldn't bear to continue enslaving this little thing, so she spoke to console it.
At this moment, Charm, Feng Zhan, and the other divine beasts had all transformed into human form. They squatted on the ground and focused on picking herbs.
The silver wolves used their claws to dig carefully at the ground and then slowly dug out the herbs.
The large number of herbs was quickly gathered with the coordination of the beasts.
Leng Ruoxue sent the other beasts back into the bracelet, leaving only Feng Zhan and Charm outside.
"Master, shall we set off?" Charm's beautiful purple eyes looked at Leng Ruoxue.
"Treasure, treasure, I like it." Ball Ball suddenly jumped into Charm's arms and refused to leave.
Leng Ruoxue's face darkened as she looked at the lecherous Ball Ball. Is Ball Ball female? But she had to agree with Ball Ball's taste. Charm in human form was indeed a rare top-grade beautiful man.
A layer of black covered Charm's handsome face as he looked at the little furball on his chest. Without even thinking about it, Charm transformed back into his small snow-white fox form and hopped onto Leng Ruoxue's shoulder.
"Uh, where's my treasure?" Ball Ball found that its treasure had suddenly disappeared and was spinning around anxiously.
"Master, he's male," Charm explained helplessly, understanding Leng Ruoxue's thoughts.
"Uh." Leng Ruoxue was embarrassed. So this little thing is male!But why did he only act this way when he saw Charm? My brother isn't inferior to Charm! And Feng Zhan is comparable to Charm in terms of appearance alone.
"I don't know." Charm was also puzzled. He had no idea why the little thing was sticking to him.
"Ball Ball, come here," Leng Ruoxue called softly.
"Big Sister, my treasure is missing," Ball Ball said aggrievedly while lying on Leng Ruoxue's other shoulder, his big black eyes brimming with tears.
"Ball Ball, why do you call him a treasure?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
"He has the smell of a treasure on him. It's very, very fragrant," Ball Ball said with yearning.
"Charm, did you eat something?" Leng Ruoxue asked suspiciously. Uh! Seems like Ball Ball wasn't being perverted!
"No! Is it because of the jade elixir?" Charm carefully recalled that he hadn't eaten anything! He had only taken a sip of the jade elixir before coming out.
"Probably." Leng Ruoxue nodded. Jade elixir was born from heaven and earth, and it was incomparably precious, so it would indeed be considered a treasure.
With this in mind, Leng Ruoxue took out a small amount of jade elixir and gave it to Ball Ball.
"Ah! Treasure!" Ball Ball hugged the jade bottle excitedly, and his chubby little round body shook non-stop.
"Let's go!" Leng Ruoxue said with a knowing smile.
Leng Ruoxue and Feng Zhan walked side by side. After walking for a while, they found that the scenery in front of them had changed.
"Master, this place seems to be an illusion. You have to be careful," Feng Zhan reminded.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She could also feel it, but she didn't know what kind of illusion this place was.
The two continued walking forward. Along the way, they encountered many cute little animals, but they ignored them and just walked forward while looking for the eye of the array.
Huh? Why is a flower growing on the tree? Leng Ruoxue was puzzled. It was all too strange that a coquettish red flower appeared out of thin air on the bare tree trunk.
