“Why do you have a divine beast jade on you?”
Elder Wood Spirit noticed the Dragonite Jade on Mo Xiao’s body.
His expression instantly became serious.
Seeing Elder Wood Spirit’s sudden change in demeanor, Mo Xiao subconsciously took two steps back and gripped the hilt of the Four Symbols Heavy Sword.
However, before Mo Xiao could draw his sword, numerous blue-green vines surged out from all directions.
In an instant, they bound his limbs to the wall.
[“Elder Wood Spirit activates the Blue Silver Vine Bind, and you are now in a restrained state.”]
Blue Silver Vine Bind?
Could it be that this guy is Tang San?!
“Kid, don’t be agitated. I have no intention of fighting you.”
As Elder Wood Spirit spoke, he slowly walked up to Mo Xiao.
His withered palm slowly touched the divine beast jade on Mo Xiao’s chest.
Before Elder Wood Spirit’s palm could touch the Dragonite Jade, a sacred light suddenly appeared on Mo Xiao’s chest.
Immediately, the strange vines on Mo Xiao’s body quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
“Woof!”
A childish bark sounded, and Elder Wood Spirit’s body suddenly trembled.
Mo Xiao didn’t even have time to react.
The old Wood Spirit Elder nimbly pulled away.
The next moment, Little Gray emerged from the sacred light.
“Wood Spirit Tribe Elder greets the auspicious beast.”
With Little Gray’s appearance, Elder Wood Spirit’s body trembled as if he were sieved.
Even so, he forcefully suppressed the trembling, bowed respectfully to Little Gray.
Seeing this sudden change, Mo Xiao was also stunned. He looked at Little Gray, who was beside him, with a strange expression. “Little Gray, what are you doing?”
Upon hearing this, Little Gray looked at Mo Xiao beside it in confusion. Clearly, it did not know what happened either.
It didn’t even know why it suddenly came out.
“Are you... the master of the auspicious beast?” Elder Wood Spirit looked at Little Gray and then at Mo Xiao, his eyes full of disbelief.
Mo Xiao casually lifted Little Gray from the ground and said, “Yes, is there a problem with that?”
H H
Elder Wood Spirit’s expression changed several times, but soon, he regained his composure, and his kind smile reappeared on his face.
“Respected human warrior, may I ask if you are still willing to accept the mission I previously issued?”
“Aren’t you going to look at my Dragonite Jade?” Mo Xiao asked in confusion.
Hastily, Elder Wood Spirit shook his head, “Of course. Since you are the master of the auspicious beast, you are naturally chosen by the Dragonite Jade, its qualified guardian. I need not worry about the Dragonite Jade in your possession.”
“You seem to know a lot about this thing.” Mo Xiao looked at Elder Wood Spirit as he held the Dragonite Jade in his hand.
Elder Wood Spirit looked at the Dragonite Jade in Mo Xiao’s hand, and a trace of imperceptible desire and greed flashed in his eyes.
But it came and went quickly, and Mo Xiao didn’t notice Elder Wood Spirit’s expression.
“Sort of, but I don’t know much either.”
Elder Wood Spirit chuckled and said, “Regarding the information about the Dragonite Jade, consider it a reward for the task.”
“That’s fine,” Mo Xiao pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. “Okay, let’s talk about it after the task is completed.”
[Mission: Investigate the forbidden land of the Wood Spirit tribe. Please go to the easternmost cave of the Wood Secret Realm to investigate any anomalies.]
As the system prompt sounded, a marker instantly appeared on the map in front of Mo Xiao and Jiang He, indicating the location of the cave.
“This matter is extremely important to our Wood Spirit tribe and involves numerous dangers. Please be careful.”
“Yes, I understand. Let’s go.” Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He and turned to leave.
Elder Wood Spirit continued, “Oh right, can I trouble the two of you to tell Yaoyao to come in for a moment?”
“Okay.” Mo Xiao nodded and left Elder Wood Spirit’s room.
Inside the wooden house, Elder Wood Spirit watched the two as they gradually left.
The smile on his face and the amiability vanished.
His eyes were filled with coldness and killing intent.
Not long after, Tao Yaoyao hurriedly walked into the wooden house.
“Grandfather, did you call for me?”
Tao Yaoyao poked her head in and asked with a smile.
Elder Wood Spirit nodded slightly and waved at Tao Yaoyao. “The people from the human realm have already made contact with the divine beasts.”
“What!”
Hearing this, Tao Yaoyao’s expression changed drastically. “Aren’t the divine beasts already suppressed?! How can the humans come into contact with them?!”
“After all, we only suppressed them and didn’t actually kill them. I saw the Dragonite Jade on that human’s body. Based on the aura, it should be the power of the Azure Dragon...”
“The first to appear is actually the strongest divine beast power?” Hearing this, Tao Yaoyao’s expression instantly became even uglier.
“Moreover, the auspicious beast has also appeared beside them. Be it the divine beast jade or the auspicious beast, they can’t stay by the side of humans! We can’t let the two of them leave the Wood Mystic Realm!”
“Yes!”
Meanwhile, outside the Wood Spirit Village.
“Mo Xiao, what happened just now? Why didn’t I understand what you were saying?”
Not long after the two of them walked out of the village, Jiang He could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked directly.
When Mo Xiao heard this, he glanced at Jiang He and said, “I’m not too sure about the details. It’s just a piece of equipment I obtained that was seen by that Wood Spirit Elder. This equipment might be special and he might want to take it away.”
“Huh? He wants to take it away? Then why did he let go of you in the end?” Jiang He was shocked when she heard this and quickly asked.
“Little Gray’s name is the Heavenly Spirit Auspicious Beast. It’s a very special divine beast. Perhaps Little Gray has a natural racial suppression on them, or they believe in this auspicious beast very much. Therefore, when they saw that I’m Little Gray’s master, they naturally let go of me.”
“Oh...”
Jiang He nodded thoughtfully and asked again, “Then... what exactly is that equipment of yours? Can you let me take a look?”
“I can’t.” Mo Xiao shook his head. “This equipment is very special. I can’t share the attribute panel. Anyway, you just have to know that it’s a tool that can revive.”
“Resurrection?!” When Jiang He heard these two words, her eyes instantly widened. She had thought that Mo Xiao was already very strong, but she did not expect him to have such a powerful tool on him.
“That’s enough. Don’t tell anyone, okay?”
Mo Xiao looked at Jiang He seriously, but an inexplicable bad feeling welled up in his heart.
“I hope it’s just an illusion,” Mo Xiao muttered to himself.
He subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of the Wood Spirit Village before continuing to advance towards the mission location..
