In less than a breath, Heisha flew out like a kite with a broken string, and his pupils displayed a look of defiance, but the reality was just as it seemed.
“Li Young Hero!”
Li Rui nodded repeatedly, wanting to hear what he had in mind.
“Help me bury our bodies together.”
This… Li Rui felt frustrated once again; what was going on?
Before Li Rui could react, a dazzling white light suddenly rose, and Ruo Xin's body abruptly flew in front of the latter.
The latter deliberately looked at the brilliant white light, but unfortunately could not see any changes within it.
When the white light dissipated, two Corpses lay on the ground! Indeed, it was Dwarf Clan Leader and Heisha, with a pool of blood in front of them.
“Li Young Hero, I hope you can forgive my actions. This all started because of me; let me resolve it! I implore you not to trouble the Dwarves, as I have already arranged for the next steps!”
At this moment, Ruo Xin's eyes flickered; it seemed to be the first time witnessing such a scene of life and death, and tears flowed from her heart into Li Rui's embrace.
“There are many such things in this world; you’ll get used to it!”
Li Rui forced a smile and then followed Dwarf Clan Leader's instructions to bury both of them together before leaving! He didn’t know why, but he felt an emptiness inside, as if something was missing.
Perhaps this was just an illusion! But then…
As they left the Dwarf Clan, a strange scene occurred; when he turned back, all the Dwarves had vanished. Li Rui didn’t think much of it, sighed bitterly, and quickened his pace.
While walking on the road, Li Rui kept his footsteps very light; if one didn't listen carefully, there would be no sound at all. Moreover, it seemed that during the previous battle, the area around his Dantian had accumulated a lot of Source Qi, and even more so, his Dantian had expanded quite a bit. Was this the rhythm of improvement?
But in reality, he was overthinking it. Stepping into the Transformation Realm was not something that could be easily achieved.
As another ray of dawn appeared, Li Rui couldn't help but sigh. The time spent with the Dwarves was the shortest yet most distressing! He had no idea what would happen next.
Ruo Xin walked behind Li Rui, looking at his back. Suddenly, she felt as if he were a towering mountain that she could never climb over. Sometimes, this mountain could even make it hard for her to breathe.
"I'm tired! Let's take a break!" Li Rui said, stopping in his tracks.
"Can I take a break? Those without strength can only endure blows, while those with strength are recognized wherever they go. You know well about my experiences these past few times," Li Rui replied, fully aware of what Ruo Xin wanted to express.
A simple sentence left Ruo Xin hesitating! Though it was just one sentence, it conveyed a lot of meaning. Just like Li Rui, he had things that many people did not possess: the confidence written on his face, the spirit ingrained in his blood, and the strength etched into his life. Although he wasn't talented, he had always been working hard.
Moreover, no one could see how much effort he had put in behind the scenes. But this time! Ruo Xin saw it with her own eyes.
"Let's go! Otherwise, it will get dark," Li Rui said with a smile and then gave Ruo Xin a "princess carry." The two disappeared from their spot like a shooting star.
In the next ten minutes, Li Rui felt extremely frustrated; he never expected it to be so dull and uneventful. Nothing happened; all he did was fly!
But it was particularly strange; his speed wasn't slow! Yet for some reason, the journey felt remarkably similar, and he couldn't find even a hint of a breakthrough point. What could this be...
"Don't frown! Do you enjoy looking for trouble? I don't think so."
Li Rui let out a bitter laugh; indeed, it would be best if nothing happened in the time to come.
What is frustrating for the latter is that a month has passed, and they are still wandering along this path. It should be a sphere, yet it seems like they have been circling above the sphere all along.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Ruo Xin couldn't help but nod!
When the two of them reached the ground, a sense of desolation rushed over them, even though there was clearly nothing in the air. What was going on?
"Step back a bit; the surroundings seem a little..."
Ruo Xin lightly nodded, but she didn't realize that her hand seemed to have been brushed against something, and she couldn't help but let out a small yelp.
"What happened?"
"It felt like something just touched my hand."
Li Rui frowned slightly; he was surprised that such a thing could happen.
At that moment, the air became quiet; the sounds of birds or wind that had been present were gone.
"I feel like someone is watching us," Ruo Xin said involuntarily.
Li Rui didn't feel anything unusual. When they landed, he had already activated the Red Shuriken Eye, providing him with a 180-degree view of the area, but frustratingly, there was not a single sign of movement.
At this moment, a question arose: how were those sounds produced earlier, and now...
The sound of "hiss hiss hiss" suddenly echoed.
It seemed to be coming from inside the wood. What strange creature could it be?
Then came a "crack crack crack" sound, which seemed to grow louder, and it felt like the source was getting closer to Li Rui.
Li Rui suddenly sensed danger and immediately grabbed Ruo Xin's hand, flying into the air. There was only a moment to act.
In the next second, both of them were stunned. Li Rui was the most shocked; how could such a creature exist? Shouldn't it have been extinct long ago? Moreover, upon discovering its prey, it would strike.
What they saw was something emerging from the ground, and its limbs were made of those trees! This monster was indeed the "Tree Monster" mentioned earlier!
This thing should not be underestimated, and it had a bad temper. It seemed to have just landed and claimed its territory. The Tree Monster was furious and could not tolerate even a grain of sand in its eyes. The moment you offended it, it would want you dead within its range!
Its attack power wasn't particularly strong; as long as they escaped that encirclement, they would be safe. However, there was another particularly strange type of Tree Monster, likely a mutated version, capable of killing people invisibly, perhaps through the gas it emitted! It seemed to be an Intimidation.
As Li Rui thought about this, he couldn't help but frown. Could things really be this unfortunate?
Then he extended his left hand to pinch his own philtrum and used his right hand to pinch Ruo Xin's philtrum! Both of them couldn't help but burp! This...
