Staring at the constantly flowing stream, Wang Xiaoyu thought of something, using leaves and branches and silk threads to make a flat boat, and drifting down above the stream should be a labor-saving way to move.

But Wang Xiaoyu immediately canceled this plan, because if he unfortunately fell into the water, or was attacked by something underwater, the consequences could be catastrophic for him.

Continuing to move with silk threads, Wang Xiaoyu and the red-headed cricket traveled rapidly......

After a little more than a day, Wang Xiaoyu managed to come to the entrance of the stream that poured into the lake.

Wang Xiaoyu knew that if the map was accurate, then not far west of this place was the location of the Zephyr Tree.

Soon Wang Xiaoyu and the red-headed cricket landed by the lake to rest, and after a few days of fighting, the red-headed cricket upgraded again and reached level 10.

Wang Xiaoyu speculated that the upper limit of the red-headed cricket's level should be a little higher than his level 10, which can also be inferred from the fact that the red-headed cricket did not receive the title of the emperor of blue-eyed butterflies similar to him.

In "Skyware", no matter what race will get the title when they are close to the upper limit of their own race level lock, after obtaining the title, the attributes of monsters and NPCs will be more or less strengthened, and some powerful titles can even make a qualitative leap in the strength of those monsters, just like his title Blue Eye Butterfly Emperor, which directly doubled his basic attributes by as much as 4 times.

Of course, such powerful titles rarely appear, unless their qualifications far exceed those of ordinary members of the race, Wang Xiaoyu still remembers the title he received when he reached level 90 during his lifetime, and was about to activate the blood of heroes to be promoted to the mortal level-Challenger.

It was with the power of this Challenger title that he was able to fight the mighty Calamity Knight Thallas for so long in the first Abyss Invasion.

……

The IQ of the red-headed cricket has increased again with the increase of the level, although it is still very funny, but the fluency of the dialogue has improved significantly, and the red-headed cricket also knows how to think simply, and even can provide some help to Wang Xiaoyu in hunting.

"Big brother! That is, me? The red-headed cricket said to Wang Xiaoyu as he reflected in the water.

Wang Xiaoyu activated the [Infrared Perception] and stood up the insect body, scouted around like a snake, and replied to the red-headed cricket: "Well, that is your reflection, that is, your appearance." ”

"Big brother! Really, is it me? The red-headed cricket tilted its head and said to Wang Xiaoyu.

"Well, it's true." Wang Xiaoyu replied casually.

The red-headed cricket was obviously very excited after hearing Wang Xiaoyu's words, and its thigh kicked hard and turned over in the air.

"It turns out that I'm so handsome!" The red-headed cricket said excitedly, turning over again.

Wang Xiaoyu's chelica twitched slightly, and he sighed in his heart, he thought at first that the red-headed cricket saw the reflection in the water and realized himself, and made a little progress, but he really didn't expect this to be the result.

Wang Xiaoyu shook the head of the insect and shouted to the red-headed cricket: "Okay, red-headed, it's time to get down to business, let's search for prey......"

"Okay, big brother!"

The red-headed cricket jumped to the top of Wang Xiaoyu's head, which stood up like a snake, and then immediately remained motionless, revealing a serious expression.

Wang Xiaoyu's insect body was also controlled by him very smoothly, trying not to interfere with the detection of red-headed crickets.

The two slender tentacles on the top of the red-headed cricket's head swayed back and forth like antennas, collecting the faint vibrations from the air, and with the calm of another breeze, the red-headed cricket jumped off the top of Wang Xiaoyu's head.

"Big brother, I found one, it should be a scorpion." The red-headed cricket immediately said to Wang Xiaoyu.

Wang Xiaoyu nodded and said to the red-headed cricket, "Well, lead the way." ”

Next to a fallen and rotting dead tree, the red-headed cricket finds the scorpion's nest hidden in the rotting dead tree.

Wang Xiaoyu squirted sticky silk threads, quickly dragging the scorpion out of its nest and killing it, and the sturdy carapace was quickly crushed by Wang Xiaoyu before swallowing it into his stomach......

……

After the hunt, Wang Xiaoyu and the red-headed crickets began to move in the opposite direction to the rising sun.

A few hours later, as Wang Xiaoyu flew above the branches from time to time, a blurred shadow in front of him, which was obviously larger than other trees, appeared in Wang Xiaoyu's compound eyes.

It's just that although the outline of this shadow is like a tree, there is not a trace of green on it......

"Is it withered...... Wang Xiaoyu muttered as he kept moving.

Wang Xiaoyu was a little disappointed, because he didn't expect that the tree would be a withered tree, but the matter had come to this point, and even the withered Wang Xiaoyu decided to check it, and although the tree had withered, it might also have some use.

A few minutes later, Wang Xiaoyu managed to reach a position about 100 meters away from the withered Zephyr tree, and Wang Xiaoyu also landed with the red-headed cricket.

There were no other towering trees near the giant Zephyr Tree that would allow him to let out the threads again.

Instead, there are hundreds of dilapidated wooden house ruins in this open space 100 meters away from the Zephyr Tree, with Wang Xiaoyu and the red-headed cricket moving forward, the scenery here is gradually clear, most of the dilapidated wooden houses have been thought to be rotten and collapsed, and the only dozen or so wooden houses that have not collapsed are also overgrown with weeds and a barren appearance.

"Elven architectural style, this is supposed to be the former elf gathering place......"

Wang Xiaoyu came to the side of a ruin, and soon found some faintly visible elf-style carvings, which was more certain of Wang Xiaoyu's thoughts just now.

"Based on the extent of the decay of these wooden houses, it must have been at least a hundred years, and the elves left because of the decay of this tree?" Wang Xiaoyu turned his head to stare at the withered giant tree and said.

"Could this be the Elven Tree of Life? The shape is very similar, but the tree of life should be much bigger than this one......"

"Is it that this tree of life withered and died before it was grown?"

Wang Xiaoyu continued to ponder and analyze, and then squirted out silk threads and flew through the window into a wooden house that did not decay and collapsed.

There was nothing useful in the hut, except for two rattan chairs that had been twisted from the long drying and a wooden table, which was now covered with dust.

"All the useful things have been taken away, it seems that the elves left here on their own initiative......"

"I just don't know why the tree of life withered......"

Wang Xiaoyu spit out the silk thread again, ready to leave this wooden house, and went to the withered tree of life to check, but Wang Xiaoyu had just come out of the wooden house and landed, and the sound of red-headed crickets came from another house not far from Wang Xiaoyu.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

Wang Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly and moved towards the wooden house where the crickets had just flown in. Soon, the image of the red-headed cricket with a gray face covered with dust appeared in Wang Xiaoyu's sight, but Wang Xiaoyu's eyes did not fall on the red-headed cricket.

Because the red-headed cricket, covered in dust, was excitedly clutching a small bottle made of crystal on its feet, and the small bottle was filled with a translucent milky white liquid.

"It's... Water of Life? Wang Xiaoyu said in a deep voice.
