Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

The moment the Sand Scorpion King was defeated, the entire ancient city, oh no, the entire desert seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The yellow sand drifted gently in the night wind, as if to put an end to this fierce battle.

"Is everyone okay?" Xue Yao asked with concern, her voice echoing in the silent ancient city.

Everyone checked their bodies and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming they were uninjured. Lei Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled, and nodded, "Fortunately, even though these sand scorpions are powerful, they still couldn't hurt us."

"Yes, thanks to everyone's concerted efforts." Renhu also responded with a smile, his crescent-shaped scimitar flashing coldly in the moonlight.

Qing Yi put away the Tianyin Jade Flute, a trace of fatigue flashed in his eyes, but more of it was relief: "This battle was truly thrilling, but we still managed to survive."

Snow Eagle flew into the air, looked around, and after confirming that there were no missed sand scorpions, he slowly landed. "It seems that this ancient city is safe for the time being."

"Let's find a place to rest first and continue our journey west tomorrow." Xue Yao suggested, her eyes full of determination.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They found a relatively intact building and temporarily settled down. As the night deepened, the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient city became more and more intense, but in front of this group of brave travelers, it seemed less terrifying.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the ruins of the ancient city, illuminating the group. They packed their bags and prepared to continue their journey westward.

"Everyone, be careful. There are still many unknown dangers in this desert." Xue Yao reminded again, her voice floating in the morning breeze.

That day, as Xue Yao and the others walked out of the desert, they were all shocked by the situation before them.

It was a group of people, but they were very short, only about as tall as Xueyao's knees. They looked as if they were waiting for Xueyao and her companions.

The dwarves are dressed in colorful costumes and wear all kinds of strange hats on their heads. They look funny and mysterious.

They were armed with short bows and daggers, with vigilance and curiosity flashing in their eyes.

"Welcome to the Dwarf Kingdom, distinguished guests." One of the dwarf leaders stepped forward and said in a loud voice.

Seeing everyone's faces full of questions, Xue Yao relayed the dwarf leader's words to them.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion. They had never heard of the existence of a dwarf kingdom in this desert or nearby.

"We are just passing by and have no intention of disturbing your country." Xue Yao responded politely, while sweeping her eyes over the group of dwarves, not missing any of their expressions and movements.

"Oh, this isn't just a passing moment." The dwarf leader smiled, a sly glint in his eyes. "We already knew of your arrival, for you are the ones chosen by fate."

The one chosen by fate?

Everyone was even more confused after hearing this. Xue Yao couldn't help but ask, "The one chosen by fate? What does that mean?"

The dwarf leader waved his hand, signaling them to follow him. He led them through a narrow passage and into an underground city. The buildings here were arranged in an orderly fashion, and the streets were bustling with life.

"We dwarves possess an ancient prophecy that foresees a group of strangers crossing the desert, bringing new hope," the dwarf leader explained. "Your arrival is a sign of this prophecy."

A prophetic sign?

Xueyao and the others looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and curiosity. They had never thought that they would become the key figures in the prophecy.

"So, what can we do for you?" Xue Yao asked, her voice full of sincerity.

A hint of expectation flashed in the dwarf leader's eyes. "We need your help to resolve the crisis our people are facing."

It turns out that the Dwarf Kingdom is facing an unprecedented disaster. An unknown plague is spreading, and many Dwarves have lost their lives.

The wizards of the dwarf tribe have tried various methods, but have never been able to find a solution.

After hearing this, Xueyao and others expressed their willingness to help the dwarf tribe.

Furthermore, it’s good that we just need a favor from them and it’s not some conspiracy or calculation.

Under the guidance of the dwarf wizard, Xueyao and others began to study the source of the plague. After some efforts, they finally discovered that the source of the plague was a plant called "Shadow Poison Mushroom".

This poisonous mushroom grows deep underground, releasing toxins that spread throughout the Dwarven Kingdom.

Xueyao and others decided to go deep underground to find and destroy these poisonous mushrooms.

Everyone used their best skills and tried many methods, and finally found the place where the poisonous mushrooms grew. They successfully destroyed all the poisonous mushrooms, lifted the threat of the plague, and cured all the infected people who still had a chance of survival.

The residents of the Dwarf Kingdom cheered and thanked Xueyao and the others for their help. The Dwarf leader even personally held a grand celebration for them.

"You are our benefactors, and we will always remember your kindness." said the dwarf leader gratefully.

Xueyao and the others responded with a smile, "This is what we should do. We are also very happy to be able to help you."

It was strange that the dwarves were chattering away, and no one in her group could understand them except Xueyao.

Xueyao herself couldn't explain why she could understand the dwarf language.

In short, she became a messenger between the dwarf and her companions.

After the matter was settled, as they were about to leave, a man who looked like a eunuch suddenly flew in front of Xue Yao and the others, "Excuse me, who is Fairy Xue Yao?"

Yes, it is flying. The dwarves also have a certain level of cultivation.

Xue Yao was slightly stunned, then nodded, "It's me."

The eunuch bowed respectfully and said, "The Dwarf King invites you to the palace for a private meeting."

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion. Yun Duoduo frowned slightly and whispered to Xue Yao, "Be careful, we'll wait for you here."

Xueyao nodded and followed the eunuch through the bustling streets until they arrived in front of a magnificent palace. The palace had a unique architectural style and was famous for its magnificent decorations and exquisite carvings.

After entering the palace, Xueyao was led to a magnificent reception room. The dwarf king sat on a tall throne, his face kind and majestic.

The terms tall and majestic are relative. To the dwarves, they are indeed tall and majestic, but to Xueyao and the others, it seems that any one of them, standing up, is as tall as a dwarf two or three stories high.

"Fairy Xueyao, thank you for helping our dwarf tribe overcome this crisis." The Dwarf King said with a smile.

Xue Yao bowed slightly and responded politely, "Your Majesty, you are welcome. This is what we should do."

The dwarf king nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face. "Actually, our dwarf tribe has an important matter that requires your help."

Xue Yao was startled, but remained calm. "Your Majesty, please explain clearly."

The Dwarf King sighed and said, "Our Dwarf tribe encountered a disaster ten thousand years ago..."

That disaster was even more devastating than the one they had just escaped. Many people collapsed overnight without warning. That time, the Dwarven Nation was nearly wiped out.

The dwarf king's eyes were red and his voice was choked.

Since then, the Dwarf Kingdom has suffered a similar disaster every three hundred years. The specific circumstances of each disaster are different, but the destructive force is similar.

This is something the dwarves finally understood after experiencing helplessness many times.
