Deep in the forest, tin wood is laid out.

Richard walked out of the cave and walked towards Ximu, but when he was dozens of meters away, he smelled a strong smell of blood, and couldn't help frowning.

His pace quickened, and he walked up to Ximu, where he saw a silver-white wolf lying at his feet. The white wolf has dozens of piercing wounds all over his body, as if he has been shot by a rain of arrows, but there are no arrows or arrow shafts, and there are jagged tears on the edges of the wounds, which is very peculiar.

A few meters away, the tall gray wolf he had seen before was looking at the white wolf worriedly at this time, and looked at Ximu from time to time.

Ximu did not say a word, and the branches hung down from the canopy, formed arms, and pressed them against the wound of the white wolf.

On the palm of his hand, pale green energy was born, which was poured into the white wolf's body little by little, allowing the wound to heal, but very slowly. Sometimes, I don't know what weird energy is at work, and I finally repair a few wounds, and the inexplicable wounds will burst open, and a lot of blood will flow, making Ximu's efforts in vain.

However, Ximu was not annoyed by this, just kept a calm face and continued to treat the white wolf.

Richard looked at it for a long time, frowned and asked Ximu, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just a demonized beast that I focused on cultivating, and in the forest, it was injured by other demonized beasts, and I'm treating it now. Ximu said loudly, not hearing any emotion.

Richard blinked, not being sent away so easily, and looked at the injured white wolf a few times again, especially at the wound on the white wolf's body, and asked in a loud voice: "Ordinary demonized beasts don't cause this kind of wound, right? ”

"What hurt it was a demonic insect, a demonic insect that I hated. Ximu spoke, his tone slightly high, with a hint of hidden anger, "Hmph, that is, these insects don't dare to come to my core area, otherwise I will definitely destroy them all." ”

"Wipe them all out?" Richard's eyes flashed, he caught the key information, looked up at Ximu seriously, and asked, "There are a lot of demonic insects?" Anyway, you won't have any trouble lately, I see that there are fewer guardian creatures around you, is this the reason? I just have a little time now, if you can't handle it, I can help you deal with it." ”

Hearing this, Ximu glanced at it, and said in an urn voice: "Boy, put away your kindness, I am the great wise man of the tree, the source of the forest, and the guardian of immortality - Yüggdrasil Alhaydon Ximu!"

I'll admit that the forest I'm in now is much bigger than the one I was in before, and there are a lot of troublesome demonic creatures and special beings living there. However, in my eyes, they are just minor problems. It really me off, and I can easily destroy them all without your help. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it is. ”

"But then again. Ximu softened his tone and continued, "I'm busy right now. After all, it takes a lot of effort to maintain your iron lumps, and it takes a lot of effort to absorb energy from the void and transmit it to the iron lumps, and I also have to try to pursue a breakthrough in the life level and evolve to a higher level. So, if you're really bored, you can help me......"

"Wait a minute. As he said this, Ximu was suddenly interrupted by Richard.

Seeing that Richard seemed to sense something, he reached out and took out a handkerchief from his arms, and the three magic lines on the handkerchief quickly lit up, and it lit up for more than ten seconds before it dimmed.

"Contact? It seems to be the same as I thought. Rich's eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, "In this case, go back to the place where you came from, settle the matter, and explore the ruins." If it goes well, the exploration of the ruins will be completed within three days, and it will not be too time-consuming to take the things in the ruins back to study, and it is more cost-effective than collecting spells a little bit. ”

With that, Richard walked in the direction of the forest.

After taking a few steps, he remembered something, stopped and turned his head to look at Ximu, and said, "Hey, I almost forgot, you seemed to say just now that you want me to help you, right?"

"Hmph, boy, you misheard, I didn't ask you to do me any favor. Ximu replied with a cold face, "I mean, my ability is enough to deal with everything in this forest, so do whatever you have to do, and don't continue to interfere with my work here." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Sure. ”

"Okay. Richard shrugged and turned to leave.

However, after walking more than ten meters, Richard stopped again, turned his head to look at Ximu seriously, and asked confirmatively: "Is it really okay? You won't be like Mr. Ah Fu when he was in the mine, for the sake of face or other reasons, you obviously have something but don't say it, right? This is not a good choice, whether it is a person, a tree or an immortal seed, it is better to be wise." ”

"Hmph, boy, why are you so verbose!" Ximu was dissatisfied, and rushed directly to the human, "Let's go, you go quickly, I'm really fine, don't think about it!"

"Really, that's fine, but in case there's an emergency, be sure to contact me. Richard finally instructed, "The crystal ball for contact has been given to you, and the method has been told to you, I hope you haven't forgotten." ”

"Don't forget, let's go. Ximu cherished the words like gold and said the last words.

Richard shrugged, stopped rambling, and stepped on his feet, flying out of the forest.

Ximu watched Richard leave, and after more than ten seconds, he withdrew his gaze and concentrated on treating the white wolf under his feet. After healing for a while, he raised his head and looked in the other direction deep in the forest, and muttered to the white wolf: "According to the plan, the attack should start soon, if nothing else, after ten minutes, your injuries will be repaid by the enemy a thousand times." ”

"Yes, a thousandfold repayment ......"

"Uh-huh—"

The wounded white wolf seemed to understand and cried out.

The gray wolf on one side was touched and barked as well.

"Uh-huh—"

......

In the direction that Ximu was looking, in a clearing in the forest.

There is a hive the size of a house, and thousands of bees fly and hover above the hive, making a "buzzing" sound, because the formation is so dense that it looks like a black cloud.

If you look closely, you will see that this bee is not the same as ordinary bees, and the tail pin part is much larger. In addition, there are a very small number of bees with scorpion-like barbs on the tail pins. There are also bees with hollow tail pins with serrated teeth, like special tools used to dig holes.

The scene maintained this terrifying scene for more than ten seconds, and suddenly there was a "click", and cracks appeared on the surface of the huge honeycomb, and quickly spread.

With a "bang", the entire hive was split in half, and a strange creature the size of a rhinoceros emerged from the hive.

The strange creature that came out of it, somewhat like a beetle, was clad in a black shell, had a flat head, had a pair of large compound eyes, and had two tentacles at the end of the head. Of course, the most striking thing is the huge belly underneath, which looks like a resilient warehouse.

As soon as the strange creature appeared, many bees above "buzzed" loudly and huddled together, like fear and celebration, and a large "black" cloud suddenly became darker...... It's scary, dark.

......
