Inside the Wood Spirit Forest.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's team had just killed a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but unfortunately, no one leveled up, so the Soul Ring was wasted.
Everyone examined the corpse, but no Soul Bone appeared, which was also a bit disappointing.
Of course, this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was defeated by Lei Yun and killed by Ning Rongrong.
Lei Yun was Zhuge Lan.
Zhuge Lan frowned slightly. For some reason, he always had a feeling that something wasn't quite right. Logically, after just entering, they shouldn't be killing Ten-Year Soul Beasts, then Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, then Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and finally Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
They had been in for several hours and were actually ambushed by a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Yes, it was an ambush.
As for this Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it was a Tree God.
He looked at Ning Rongrong beside him and said,
"Rongrong, is there something wrong? Why are so many powerful Spirit Beasts suddenly appearing?"
Ning Rongrong's face showed a look of confusion, then she said,
"Yes! Zhu… Lei Yun, the Spirit Beasts here are too powerful, even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts have appeared."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. Ning Rongrong almost blurted out his name, which startled him.
She quickly corrected herself, then asked,
"Rongrong, where should we go next? Where are we currently located?"
Ning Rongrong took out the map. There were four places highlighted on it. The central location was Tree God Lake, the left was Tree God Plateau, the right was Mu Kui Forest, and the front was Grass Spirit Grassland. There were also some smaller places, such as the Little Monkey Tribe.
Ning Rongrong pointed to the bottom of the map and said,
"The position we just entered, if we go forward, should take us to the Wood Spirit Grassland. To the right is the Mu Kui Forest. First, we need to go to the Mu Kui Forest to forge a new contract with the leader of the Wood Spirit."
Zhuge Lan pondered. By looking at the map, he found that the largest area was the Tree God Lake in the center, which should be the most core area.
He estimated that to ultimately win, they would have to go to Tree God Lake.
For now, he would follow Ning Rongrong's instructions and go to Mu Kui Forest. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Wood Spirit Tribe had a connection, which they were aware of.
There was no problem with this strategy.
Then he said,
"Alright, Rongrong, we'll do as you say."
Ning Rongrong nodded, then led the team towards the northeast, which was the upper right part of the map.
In the middle, a female disciple in the team patted his shoulder and whispered,
"Lei Yun, come to the back for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. What was that? But he thought about it, there should be something important.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do on the road, so discussing it together was fine.
He nodded and followed the female disciple to the back, then asked,
"What is it? Tell me!"
The female disciple thought for a moment, then said with a serious expression,
"Lei Yun, do you know Zhuge Lan?"
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment, laughing internally. Of course he knew! That was himself, how could he not know! As for what the female disciple meant, he didn't understand.
But he was very curious about what would happen next, so he said,
"I do! I heard he's very powerful, what about him?"
The female disciple snorted coldly, then said,
"If you know him, then stay away from Miss Rongrong. You should also know the previous relationship between Ning Rongrong and Zhuge Lan. You always call her Rongrong, and it's a bit too intimate. If you don't want to be beaten to death by Zhuge Lan, then stay away from Miss Rongrong."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. Only now did he realize this problem. Why was he acting intimately? It was because he still thought of himself as Zhuge Lan, and when he was with Ning Rongrong, he was also treating himself as Zhuge Lan.
Although this was not wrong, his identity had changed now. He was considered a stranger, and it was impossible for a stranger to act intimately with Rongrong without being suspected.
In that case, he had to correct it. This was his mistake, and he could admit it.
He said,
"I understand. I will pay attention to it from now on."
The female disciple nodded and said,
"Alright, that's good then."
Zhuge Lan returned to Ning Rongrong's side. Ning Rongrong's face showed curiosity, then she walked over and said unhappily,
"Lei Yun, what were you doing! Don't tell me you were trying to seduce our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's female disciples."
Zhuge Lan was a bit dumbfounded. He couldn't be blamed for this, after all, Ning Rongrong also treated him as Zhuge Lan, not Lei Yun, even though she verbally called him Lei Yun.
He naturally forgot his identity as Lei Yun, leading to the intimate behavior.
In response, he immediately whispered,
"Miss Rongrong, you forgot I am Lei Yun. Just now, I was warned by a female disciple, saying that I was acting intimately with you and that she wanted Zhuge Lan to deal with me."
Ning Rongrong was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her lips, and she said,
"Alright, I'll pay attention. I'll keep a meter's distance from now on."
After speaking, Ning Rongrong walked away to the side.
Zhuge Lan breathed a sigh of relief. This act couldn't be exposed, otherwise, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would become a laughingstock.
At this moment, a "rustling" sound suddenly appeared around them, and the sound grew louder and louder.
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. Obviously, this was not a normal reaction; they must have encountered a Spirit Beast. As for what kind of Spirit Beast it was, he wasn't sure.
After all, they had only been here for one day.
At this moment, a tree more than ten meters tall rushed out from the jungle. There was a human-like creature on top of the tree.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong immediately said,
"Everyone, pay attention. This is a Wood Spirit. A Wood Spirit can control trees and can also merge with them."
Zhuge Lan was stunned for a moment. He hadn't expected that this thing in front of him was a Wood Spirit. Then he stepped forward. Through observing its soul power, he could tell.
This Wood Spirit in front of him was only a Hundred-Year Soul Beast.
The Wood Spirit controlled the trees and came before everyone, saying coldly,
"Our patriarch has ordered to kill all invaders. Die!"
The Wood Spirit controlled the trees, using them like whips to lash at the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Zhuge Lan sneered. A Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even if it could speak, was not a threat.
He slowly walked over and softly shouted,
"First Spirit Ability: Qilin Fist."
A Qilin mark appeared on his hand, then he punched out, hitting the tree. The ten-meter-tall tree was directly blasted into dust.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong quickly said,
"Don't kill it."
Only then did Zhuge Lan remember that the Wood Spirit and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had previously signed a contract, and killing it would break the contract.
Then he rushed over, grabbed the somewhat flustered Wood Spirit, and threw it in front of Ning Rongrong.
The surrounding disciples, seeing how powerful Zhuge Lan was, praised him one after another.
"Lei Yun, your strength is really good, excellent."
Zhuge Lan smiled. He was actually a bit reluctant to act against such weak enemies.
