The vines and weeds in the cave were growing wildly, and the plants outside the cave that had been bathed in green light seed as though they had been fertilized a hundredfold, as they began to grow frantically!
The female Shadow Warrior appeared in front of Fang Ze with a "whoosh," wielding two daggers she "swish swish swish" cut all the weeds and vines wrapping towards Fang Ze and then watched the surroundings warily.
At that mont, an "aoow~" roar sounded, and all the plants were shattered.
What appeared in front of Fang Ze was a creature about three to four ters long, with a body made of woody structures and covered with creeping vines... a fox.
Fang Ze looked at it blankly and then asked excitedly, "One Two Three, did you successfully advance?"
Hearing Fang Ze's words, the plant fox cocked its head towards Fang Ze.
It seed to be pondering.
After a mont, it said in a daze, "Master, master?"
Fang Ze was relieved.
Looking at its dazed and silly appearance, it was undoubtedly One Two Three!
He stepped forward sowhat excitedly and then touched One Two Three's body.
Although One Two Three had changed from human form to that of a fox, there seed to be not too many other changes.
Its body was still wooden, feeling a bit rough to the touch, and seed to still be primarily reliant on the ranger's abilities overall.
But compared to before, the difference was that previously, it was like an inanimate object, but now touching it, you could feel the robust life force radiating from within.
That vitality made it seem like being near it would make one's body feel very comfortable and relaxed.
It also made one wonder what miraculous changes the Golden Fox Bloodline had brought it.
Fang Ze was interested in understanding more.
But ti was of the essence now.
Who knew when the Rejuvenation Society would start making moves.
Fang Ze's cave was at least a five to six hours' journey from the Special Case Team; he simply couldn't afford to delay.
So, as he patted One Two Three, Fang Ze said, "Let's leave this place first."
"We'll talk on the way."
Perhaps sensing Fang Ze's urgency, One Two Three didn't say much but instead suddenly lunged forward, tearing apart the withered vines outside the cave.
Then it bent its front legs and lowered its wooden body, signaling for Fang Ze to climb on.
Fang Ze mounted its back, and the female Shadow Warrior silently followed, blending into his shadow.
One Two Three then shook its body, and several vines grew out of its back, wrapping around Fang Ze's legs and waist to secure him in place.
Then it leaped forth, starting to gallop under the moonlight.
With four legs, One Two Three was noticeably faster.
Fang Ze could only feel the "whoosh whoosh" of the wind as it rushed by his ears, and the scenery around him had beco a blur, as if he were racing in a supercar in the dead of night.
If he had to estimate, the speed was at least three tis faster than One Two Three's previous speed.
So... perhaps he could make it in ti?
On the road, Fang Ze also talked with One Two Three about the changes it underwent after advancing to the Fusion stage.
According to One Two Three's halting narrative,
its greatest feeling after advancing to the Fusion stage was... its plant-related abilities seed to have beco stronger.
For example, it had previously only been able to bring three Giant Tree People to life, but now it could animate and control up to fifty.
For instance, it used to require enlivening 300 Giant Tree People before it could generate one gram of Treant Essence.
Now it... only needed about 100 Giant Tree People, roughly two days' ti, to produce one gram of Treant Essence.
And even without activating the Giant Tree People, it could now condense one gram of Treant Essence every month.
Moreover, because of the Fusion with the Golden Fox Bloodline, its plants had various form changes.
It could transform into a Giant Tree Person, a huge wood fox, and even enlarge or shrink its body.
Not knowing whether it was because the abilities of the Golden Fox Bloodline didn't quite match with those of the ranger, the Golden Fox Bloodline seed to add to its strength in the latter aspect, without bringing it more benefits.
From the Golden Fox Bloodline, it said, it had only acquired so attack techniques similar to those of the Golden Fox.
According to it, they were sowhat unremarkable...
Because they were on the move, Fang Ze couldn't press for details or have it demonstrate, so he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity...
.......
And while Fang Ze was riding One Two Three, traveling under the moonlight,
with nightfall descending, the atmosphere in the jungles near the Special Case Team beca increasingly tense and oppressive.
The sky had begun to drizzle imperceptibly at so point.
As if mourning the night's bloodshed...
In the jungle, the Rejuvenation Society's forces were slowly gathering.
After several rounds of observation, they had confird that all mbers of the Special Case Team had been hidden by Bai Zhi. Tonight, their only opponent was Bai Zhi alone...
And at that mont, Bai Zhi...
Dressed in an elegant white noble attire and holding a white umbrella in the light drizzling rain, stood gracefully in the clearing in front of the Special Case Team, as if quietly waiting for them.
Despite being alone, she seed to blend with heaven and earth, commanding respect.
Red Cloak stood in the trees in the distance, without an umbrella, as fine rain fell like a mist over him, but his gaze was fixed on Bai Zhi in the distance...
As ti ticked away, the atmosphere grew heavier and heavier.
The dark sky seed almost as if it would press down upon them.
At that mont in the jungle, the absence of a single bird's call or cicada's chirp rendered it as silent as a dead forest...
