"Oh my god, ancestor of my Mountain Lion clan, the clues we found were taken by them! Third brother, what are you standing around for? Don’t worry about us, go quickly, this concerns the fifth task, you can’t let us hold you back!"
Inside the Profound Iron Jar, Niu Aihua couldn’t even bother with the honey anymore and shouted in a hurry.
But before Wang Wu could decide, there ca a series of strong, powerful thumping sounds from above, and the next mont, that robust, devil-like Master Tu the Third jumped down through the tree root tunnel from above.
"Hahaha! You little brats make so joyful!"
With a loud laugh, Master Tu the Third quickly slipped into the tree root tunnel below as well.
At this, Wang Wu finally smiled, unhurriedly following suit into the tunnel.
The Big Mountain Cat and Master Tu the Third are quite impressive; it’s estimated they’ve completed the first four tasks and received the basic rewards. Even if they quit the assessnt now, they’ve secured the status of Ninth Grade Grass and Wood Demon Soldiers.
However, simultaneously, they should have also obtained the clues for the fifth task, which led them into the decaying tree root tunnel.
But, this decaying tree root tunnel is probably very complex, and they have been lost inside, unable to find a way out quickly.
Maybe even the Little Tree Spirits can’t find a way out.
Yes, the first four tasks were more like formal exams, where the correct answers were with the examiners.
But the fifth task is more like a bounty.
Because even the Little Tree Spirits probably don’t know the correct answer.
So originally, Wang Wu hesitated about whether to go into the decaying tree root tunnel, but now, with these two strong Little Demon scouts, he decided it was worth a try.
Currently, within this decaying tree root tunnel, there’s no sound from the Big Mountain Cat, but Master Tu the Third’s actions are clearly audible.
Wang Wu didn’t attempt to activate Level 10 Passive Concealnt, given his whole body exudes the distinctive fragrance of Ascetic Honey now, making concealnt pointless.
This root seems to dive deeper underground, with many areas where Wang Wu practically slid down or outright fell.
Along the way, he saw more than a dozen Grass and Wood Zombies’ corpses, covered in thick frost after being killed.
The perpetrators are likely the Big Mountain Cat or Master Tu the Third.
They didn’t even reclaim the Ice Spiritual Qi, so when Wang Wu passed by, so Grass and Wood Zombies still twitched, evidence that so insects and filantous tendrils inside hadn’t been frozen to death.
Wang Wu wasn’t in a hurry; he observed the tree root tunnel for any fork in the road, to prevent enemies from circling behind and turning him into minced at sashimi.
On the other hand, he carefully delivered a final blow to each Grass and Wood Zombie, ensuring all the insects inside were killed before reclaiming the Ice Spiritual Qi.
The rewards along the way weren’t substantial, after taking down 7 Grass and Wood Zombies, he only reclaid 309 points of Ice Spiritual Qi.
These can all be stored in the Array Stone, although he still doesn’t know the storage limit of this Array Stone.
As he continued forward, the number of Grass and Wood Zombies corpses in the tree root tunnel increased, and Wang Wu noticed signs of cooperation between the Big Mountain Cat and Master Tu the Third.
But this had nothing to do with him; he still ticulously delivered final blows and reclaid Ice Spiritual Qi.
When he finally reached the end of this tree root tunnel, he successfully collected 961 points of Ice Spiritual Qi. Impressive, as the Big Mountain Cat and Master Tu the Third are indeed proficient; not only do they have perfect Ice Resistance, but they also cultivated Ice Spirit Root, and the amount of Ice Spiritual Qi stored is truly astounding.
However, when Wang Wu looked at the scene at the tunnel’s end, he almost spontaneously combusted on the spot.
His head buzzed loudly.
Because this was a quite spacious area, lit up by several huge candles set by soone, making the place bright as day, with two exquisite vine chairs placed in a corner and two beds.
In another corner, there was a familiar-looking Profound Iron Jar, suspended above a bizarre furnace with strong flas, seemingly refining sothing.
Not far away, there were several Little Demon corpses frozen in ice, lifelike.
One of them had even been skinned, deboned, and its at carved out, turning into a pot of steaming broth.
Furthermore, Wang Wu saw a book on the ground beside that pot of broth.
It seed the owner of this place had quite an artistic flair.
But all of this was shrouded in a transparent array that occasionally flickered with glimrs.
Were Human Race Cultivators hiding here, even using it as a base camp!
Both the Big Mountain Cat and Master Tu the Third were clearly stunned by the scene before them, standing there in disbelief, which was entirely beyond their expectations.
When did the Human Race Cultivators manage to stealthily infiltrate their territory? This was Grandpa Tree’s branch of the Divine Temple!
"We must return quickly and report this matter; this is beyond our ability to handle."
Master Tu the Third, being experienced and mature, spoke swiftly before turning and running.
The Big Mountain Cat, though proud, wasn’t foolish; this indeed was not sothing they could deal with.
But just when they turned and reached near Wang Wu, a talisman filled with thunderous energy floated over from sowhere, and with a crackling sound, a flash of lightning blinded them.
Subsequently, dozens of small, continuous lightning flashes connected themselves, forming a paralyzing lightning chain, covering a hundred-ter radius with jumpy sparks.
