Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Xi Sui'an opened her eyes and suddenly heard a slight sound of breaking air. She focused her eyes slightly and raised her hand to catch the black scale fruit that was thrown at her.

The instigator leaned against the tree trunk and bent his legs, looking at her sideways: "Oh, I didn't expect that my junior sister is actually close to the origin of chaos, it's really rare."

Xi Sui'an wiped the black scale fruit calmly and took a bite. The sour taste almost made her lose control of her expression. Damn, what is so unpalatable? Is Li Qing trying to trick her?

She raised her head in suspicion, but the next moment the sourness in her mouth faded away, and when she ate again, there was a sweet aftertaste. Strands of the origin seeped into her body, nourishing the meridians and bones in her body, but the effect was minimal.

"It tastes good." Xi Sui'an continued to chew, "but the effect is a little lacking."

Zhong Heng's body was extremely light. He leaped between the branches and sniffed the fruit with his nose. "Black scale fruit is at most the initial stage of the spiritual level. Although it can nourish the body, the quality is too ordinary." He pushed away the fruit in front of him that was blocking his view with disdain and looked at Li Qing. "Where are we now?"

Li Qing looked at him and sighed: "朏朏 is really cute."

Zhong Heng showed no emotion at all. He had received so many compliments on his good looks that he no longer felt anything. "What are Minister Li's plans for next?"

Seren Argerich pulled out the dagger. He looked around at the crisscrossing branches stretching out and the lush green leaves above his head: "It's impossible to identify the direction correctly in the secret realm." He raised his hand and transformed into a crystal-feathered bat. The wing membrane was as smooth as satin, black and shiny and soft. It looked like a very aristocratic bat. It flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. Seren Argerich looked up, his handsome face expressionless.

"This is a large area of ​​black scale fruit trees, there are a huge number of them, and the ground is full of starworms and indigo mushrooms, which are shaped like umbrellas and have ring-shaped patterns. They are distributed very densely."

"I guessed it right, it should be the Blue Ring Soul Devouring Mushroom." Zhong Heng moved the branches, poked his head and looked down, thinking, "It's a very interesting symbiotic relationship. The Blue Ring Soul Devouring Mushroom will devour its prey and provide nutrients to the Black Scale Fruit Tree. The tree roots will feed the Soul Devouring Mushroom in return, and the Star Cordyceps can stagnate the essence of the prey. It looks weak and harmless, but it is an accomplice of the Blue Ring Soul Devouring Mushroom. It's really interesting."

Li Qing said speechlessly: "Don't study it, we will go from above, it is best not to come into contact with them to avoid trouble."

Li Chu leaned against the tide, shaking off a long chain from her fingertips, with an exquisite crystal pendulum hanging below. She concentrated and spoke calmly, "Can we get out of the woods smoothly if we walk on the tree?"

The purple crystal pendulum glowed brightly and slowly turned counterclockwise. Its answer was "no".

Li Qing touched her chin and raised her eyebrows. This should be just the outskirts of the secret realm. Logically speaking, if she avoided it in the correct way, there shouldn't be any danger.

Li Chu glanced at him and thought for a moment: "Is the danger we will face coming from people in the academy?"

The pendulum swung again, clockwise, silently answering in the affirmative.

She tapped the pendulum three times and put it away with her backhand: "It seems we have to leave quickly, there should be other people who have been teleported here." The possibility of having a grudge against the senior is not too high.

Zhong Heng turned his head and said seriously: "I just took a careful look. The tree roots here are intertwined and connect the entire area. The Spirit-Eating Mushrooms coexist with them to form a huge underground mycorrhizal network. Part of our information has been transmitted since it appeared in the woods." They are in this interconnected network.

Li tapped the tree trunk and narrowed her eyes. "They have no intelligence."

"So it's very easy to be invaded." Xi Sui'an raised his eyebrows. "If they can connect with them, they must be close to the origin of wood and hostile to us. Senior, do you think it could be the elf Sylph?"

"That's great." It's not a good idea to fight with the elves right away. Li Qing raised her chin and said, "Pick a direction and let's run quickly."

Everyone was speechless. Seren Argerich took back the crystal-feathered bat and said calmly, "Let's go north. The density there is relatively lower."

"Okay." Li Qing followed suit.

Xi Sui'an glanced at the reluctant Chao Xi, walked over and grabbed its tentacles: "Stop eating and move on, what's so good about sesame? There's watermelon behind!"

Chao Xi turned back into a little octopus, squatting on Li Chu's shoulder and glared at Xi Sui'an: "Ever since I followed you, I have had no food to eat. It's been a long time since I had delicious food. A conscienceless woman really doesn't feel any pain in her heart!" Her tone was full of grief, full of accusations against the unfaithful man.

“……”Xi Sui’an twitched the corners of his mouth.

Li Qing in front glanced back at the pair of main pets and was amused: "You, the junior sister, really let down the little cutie's sincerity."

Sincerity? Chao Xi's sincerity is almost like a durian, with a cherished person or thing on each tip, and she doesn't even know which one it ranks!

Li Chu couldn't hold back his smile and laughed with his hands covering his mouth.

The five of them quickly moved northward. On the way, Xi Sui'an asked, "Where is the Bodhi tree? Why don't we go look for the Bodhi tree first?"

Li Qing said in a calm voice: "The Bodhi tree is in the center, and this is just the periphery. The further we go in, the higher the concentration of the origin will be, and the more precious the things will be. There will be inevitable scramble for them then." Alas, he broke out of the siege with a group of newbies. It seems that he should have called on more people before!

It seems that the journey will not be peaceful, and it will be even more lively in the central area. Xi Sui'an lowered his eyes and thought deeply.

The black-scaled trees gradually became sparse, and the dark blue starworm grass and blue-ringed spirit-eating mushrooms on the ground also became fewer and fewer. When he was about to run out of the woods, Zhong Heng turned back into human form, looking thoughtful. He slowed down his pace, glanced at the plants on the ground, and squatted down.

Seren Agrich looked over and saw the young man putting on a pair of white gloves. The light golden runes on the back of his hands lit up. He quickly and accurately picked up a large piece of Star Cordyceps and Spirit-Eating Mushrooms, and then followed them with satisfaction.

Noticing the other party's gaze, Zhong Heng said calmly: "Good stuff, I need it."

Seren Argerich didn't say anything, and all the people except the combat type were weird.

Not far from the woods, there was a small lake. Two teams seemed to be negotiating by the lake, and the atmosphere seemed quite tense.

Xi Sui'an glanced at the other party's clothing and said, "This is a team of members from the Organization Department and the Academic Department. It looks like they are going to fight."

Zhong Heng's eyes swept past them. There were thin vines floating in the lake, and small flowers with golden stamens and white petals floating with the waves, looking extremely beautiful.

"It's the Dragon Claw Lotus. The lotus core is a very valuable stabilizer in the alchemy department. It can greatly increase the success rate." He thought for a moment, "Your alchemy department also uses it sometimes. It's a good thing."

"Want it? Then grab it!" Li Qing crossed her arms, "I'll support you."

The remarks of these bandits who were willing to rob at the slightest disagreement made everyone silent. Before they could decide whether or not to go up, the two teams turned around and spotted them.

The girl in white called out in surprise: "Li Qing?!"

The academic department member opposite was stunned, and turned around to see Li Qing: "It's really Li Qing!"

The girl drew out her sword and said in a cold voice, "I'll give you the things. The minister has given an order that the most important task in the secret realm is to annihilate Li Qing. The rest can be postponed."

The young man in blue raised his lips coldly: "No need to give way, we can redistribute them later. Our minister's order is to kick Li Qing out at all costs!"

The two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation in an instant, and both sides confronted them.

“……”Isn’t it too late to say I just passed by now?

Xi Sui'an tilted his head and glanced at Li Qing, who lost her smile after hearing what he said. Very good, he has become a walking target.

If other departments give such orders, they will become the public enemy of this playground.
