On the other side, a few days later.

In the middle of a lush forest.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, Anne jumped from mid-air and put her feet on the ground,

Then, when she noticed something, she looked up and saw in the grass and among the trees around her, one after another stout beasts appeared, their eyes shining at her.

Rao knew that these beasts were on the same side as her and would not attack. But under the gaze of many eyes, the body was still subconsciously tense, and the mana in the body began to become active.

At this moment, there was a "brush", and a tall gray wolf jumped out and stopped in front of her.

"Whew!"

With a roar, all the beasts retreated.

The gray wolf turned and walked towards the left front, walked for a while, stopped and looked back at her, and the meaning was clear: follow.

Anne exhaled lightly, without saying anything, and walked forward under the guidance of the gray wolf.

The wolf continued to go deeper into the forest, and after walking for about ten minutes, the gray wolf stopped, turned his head and roared at Anne, and quickly ran to the side, but disappeared from view in a few seconds.

Anne was in good spirits and knew the place.

As expected, soon a "rustling" sound sounded, and more than a dozen vines stretched out, pushing a heavy lead box in front of her.

Anne stepped forward, grabbed the lead box, and turned to leave.

But she felt a stagnation under her feet, and when she looked down, she found that the vines had wrapped around her ankles for some time.

The vine was clearly not malicious, and as soon as Anne noticed the abnormality, she released and retracted on her own.

Anne raised her eyebrows, guessed something, and looked behind the dense trees directly ahead.

The next moment, a strong wind blew in the face, and a low and hoarse voice sounded in the wind: "Little girl, wait a minute." ”

As the words fell, a strange tree three meters tall and full of gold walked out of the forest, using its roots as its legs. On the trunk of the tree, there is a human face, and when the eyes are squinted, it seems that it is the ancient tree of immortality, tin wood.

As soon as she made eye contact with Ximu, Anne's body couldn't help but shake.

To tell the truth, she knew what Richard had put in this forest, but although she knew, she had never seen it with her own eyes, and this was the first time.

Seeing Ximu appear in front of her completely, Anne took a deep breath, trying to stay calm on the surface, but extremely uncalm inside. After all, such a thing as an immortal seed is still a bit too exaggerated for her current strength and knowledge. This also made her know more about Richard's strength.

Feeling the ancient and powerful momentum constantly transmitted from Ximu's body, Anne lowered her head slightly and said in a loud voice: "Is it Mr. Ximu, what is the matter?"

"Hehe, you actually call me Mr. Ximu?" Ximu said, slightly surprised, "It's a little interesting, you little girl, much more polite than the other little girl I saw before." Well, not bad, very good. ”

"It should. Anne said up, "I just don't know, Mr. Ximu, you ......."

"Well, it's nothing, I just want you to tell Richard that this time I gave him a tenth more raw materials than the stipulated. According to my agreement with him, there should be a double reward for the extra - double the reduction of our contract period. You have to remind him not to forget it. Ximu said seriously.

Anne listened to it slightly, thinking that it was a big deal, but she didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, which simply damaged the image of the immortal seed in her mind.

She wanted to laugh a little, but she tried to hold back, took a deep breath, and replied seriously: "Okay, Mr. Ximu, I will tell Your Excellency Richard in full." ”

"Well, that's good. Ximu said with some fragmentary thoughts, "Let him remember it clearly." If he can't remember clearly, I can remember clearly, in short, it is impossible to deny it, absolutely impossible. ”

"By the way, did Richard ask you to bring me anything?" Ximu asked again, "like the amount of tasks for next month?"

"This—" Anne hesitated for a moment, thought about it seriously, shook her head and replied, "Your Excellency Richard, it seems that there is no special mention of this matter, there is no accident, and the amount of tasks next month should remain the same." O, I remember, Your Excellency Richard told Mr. Ximu about you when I had the chance. ”

"What?"

"Your Excellency Richard said, I hope you will be hidden in the forest, be vigilant, and not be too lax, so as not to be discovered by wizards or other enemies, and there will be danger. After all, he doesn't care about you very close now, and there is really danger, so he can't get there quickly. Anne spoke up.

When Ximu heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said with a little displeasure: "Do you still need him to remind me? He also underestimated me! Tell him that I have controlled many beasts and trees in the nearby forest, and every tree is my ear, and there is really any enemy invasion, and I found out before he got close to my body."

And each beast is my eyes, through which I can understand things farther away, without him worrying about it at all. You tell him that as long as I can stay in this forest for a day, there will be no existence that can threaten me. ”

"Uh, okay. Seeing Ximu's slightly excited attitude, Anne didn't dare to refute, so she had to nod and say, "I'll tell Your Excellency Richard." Well, Mr. Ximu, if there is nothing else to do, then I'll leave first?"

"Okay, let's go. ”

"Yes. Anne bowed her head again, saluted, and quickly departed with her heavy lead box.

Ximu watched Anne go away, turned around and was about to walk into the depths of the forest, when suddenly he seemed to sense something, and subconsciously looked in one direction.

Dozens of miles away in that direction, a black bear with the faint mark of Ximu was chasing a bee under the torture of hunger, constantly moving away from the control zone.

The black bear in the chase is well aware that the bees are trying to get back to the hive. If it's lucky enough to find the hive, you'll be able to eat a full meal.

After a long journey, the black bear finally saw a huge beehive hanging from a tree in an extremely remote location in the forest, with a diameter of more than one meter.

Without hesitation, the black bear slammed into the trees and tried to knock the hive down.

There was a "bang", and the hive was extremely strong, hanging from the tree without moving. But the bees inside were alarmed, and with a "buzz", a large swarm flew out and stung at the black bear.

The black bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and is not afraid of the attack of the bee at all, so it covers its face and continues to hit the tree without stopping.

Half a minute, with a "bang", the hive hit the ground heavily and rolled to the side.

The black bear happily approaches the hive, ready to break open the hive and share the honey.

At this moment, with a piercing sound, a purple-black bee flew out of the hive. This bee was different from the rest of the bees, with a thick carapace, a slender and curved tail needle, and even a barb at the end, which looked more like a scorpion than a bee.

The strange bee, flapping its wings with difficulty, landed on the black bear, and its tail pin stabbed down.

The black bear felt a slight pain in his arm, didn't take it seriously, subconsciously waved his hand, and continued to approach the hive.

As a result, he didn't take a few steps, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a "bang", and where he was stabbed by a strange bee's tail needle, a large stream of black water flowed out, and the black bear convulsed a few times and died directly in place.

"Rustling ......"

At this time, hundreds of ant-like creatures crawled out of the huge beehive, with scorpion-like pincers at the tip. These creatures were very powerful, only a dozen of them, and they held up a huge hive and transported it into the distance, as if they were going to find a more secret place to hide.

The rest of the creatures worked together, dragging hundreds of pounds of black bears and following their companions, as if preparing to use them as reserve food to complete their ...... A higher level of evolution.

In a short time, everything in the same place disappeared completely.

Dozens of miles away, Ximu muttered to himself in surprise: "A pair of 'eyes' are missing?"

"Well, it seems like we've gone too far. When we walk back, we should be able to get back in touch. Ximu didn't take it seriously, shook his body, gave himself an explanation, and turned and walked into the depths of the forest.
