Although the Spirit Realm was a very strange world, there were many ordinary creatures that did not have any extraordinary abilities.
However, these creatures were not 'ordinary'. At the very least, they all had intelligence.
Not long after they left the teleportation point, a strange rustling sound came from the bushes by the side of the road, and a little white rabbit with red eyes came out.
This strange little white rabbit didn't seem to be afraid of humans. It stood up straight and a human-like smile appeared on its furry little face as it greeted the three of them.
"Hello, visitors from outside! Welcome to the Spirit Realm … "
It had a strange accent and tone, but for no reason, Grimm could easily understand what it was saying.
"Hello …" Grimm was still dressed like a Magus, holding his staff as he sized up the little white rabbit. However, he did not find any signs of elemental energy gathering in its body.
This was simply too inconceivable!
One had to know that in most planes, creatures that could gain intelligence and communicate normally with humans were almost all high-ranked magical creatures, and they would not be lower than rank 2. After all, without the support of magic, it was impossible for ordinary creatures to maintain the unique way of thinking of intelligent life with just their weak bodies and weak life force.
Low-ranked creatures only had basic instincts and basic intelligence, while high-ranked creatures could develop complete intelligence!
This was common knowledge in planes, but it obviously did not apply in the Spirit Realm.
The Spirit Realm before him seemed to have greatly weakened the other laws of the plane, but abnormally maintained the strength of the laws of the spirit. This also meant that the native creatures of the Spirit Realm might be of very low rank, but they had shockingly high intelligence.
At least in the Magus World, most little white rabbits only knew how to run around and eat grass, relying on their instincts to avoid the dangers of the natural world. How could they be like this little fellow in front of him, able to distinguish danger, and even know about the existence of planes?
Just as Grimm was quickly digesting the strange contents of this world, the demonic woman Emelia, who was standing behind him, stood out arrogantly and shouted, "Which family are you from, little fellow? Where are the adults in your family?"
The little white rabbit stood up in surprise. Its pink nose sniffed at Emelia a few times, and a forced smile appeared on its three-petaled rabbit lips.
"You have the smell of those nasty Spore Men on you. It seems that you are another wanderer who escaped to another world. Also, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Ann from the Sydney family, an abandoned Ann … "
"Where are your parents?"
"Those two old bastards left me behind and went to the seaside for a vacation …"
At this point, a sorrowful expression appeared on Em's face as if she was about to cry.
A scene naturally appeared in Grim's mind: two old rabbits walking hand in hand towards the sunset. They were wearing vests and sunglasses, holding hands …
Although this thought was absurd, the moment Grim saw this scene, he believed it without a doubt, as if he had seen this scene before.
Eh, the laws of the plane in this Spirit Realm seemed a little strange. Not only did it not suppress the spread and expansion of one's thoughts, but it also added fuel to the fire.
"Alright, alright, we don't have time to chat with you. Hurry up and tell me where the wise man of this jungle is. We need to ask him for directions! " Emelia was, after all, half a native creature, so she still had painful memories of their words. She quickly interrupted Em's sentiments and asked a crucial question.
"Alright, alright, annoying Spore Men lady. Walk west for three days and you will see the wise man. Also, when you pass by Beta's hut, remember to say hi to him for me. "
After a simple farewell to Em, the three of them immediately followed the direction that Em pointed them to.
Inadvertently turning back, Grim even saw the little white rabbit, Em, standing up straight and waving a white handkerchief that came out of nowhere to bid farewell to them.
That scene made Grim not know whether to laugh or cry!
Along the way, Grim's horizons were broadened. He had seen almost all kinds of unimaginable scenes.
There were wild ducks that opened a grocery store on the side of the road, tabby cats that built a wooden house on a tree, apes that played hide-and-seek in the sunflower field, and most of them lived a simple life of working at sunrise and resting at dusk like intelligent life forms...
Of course, the arrival of Grim and his companions also made them restless and excited. They all came out of their dwellings and greeted them in strange tones.
There was even a group of tabby cats wearing undergarments and nipples that ran into Grim's arms and played with him. Strangely, there were not many native creatures around Emelia and Remy, who looked just as cute as her.
Seeing this absurd scene, even someone as calm as Grimm was at a loss.
He looked at the little fellows that crawled all over his body and frowned as he communicated with Emelia telepathically.
"Are the natives not afraid of strangers? Haven't they heard of the horror of wizards? Aren't they afraid that we'll eat them? " As he spoke, Grim frowned and pulled back a kitten that was curiously peeking into the pot, keeping it away from the steaming pot.
"My Lord, don't underestimate the native creatures here. They have the sharpest spiritual senses. If you have any hostility towards them, they will be the first to sense it! " Emelia squatted beside the campfire, adding firewood to the bottom of the pot while stirring the pot with a ladle.
Steam rose from the pot, and the soup in it bubbled, wrapping up some fresh mushrooms and large pieces of stewed meat.
The mushrooms were plucked from nearby, and the stewed meat was brought over from the Magus World.
When they entered the Soul Realm, Emelia had warned Grim and Remy not to kill any animals or plants that could speak. Otherwise, they would not be able to get any help from the natives in the future.
Amelia took this matter very seriously!
Hearing Emelia's reply, Grim could not help but fall into deep thought.
However, when he lowered his head again, he found that the kittens that had been playing in his arms had gathered together, looking at him with big, bright eyes.
The leader of the group, a little kitten, stood up and asked in a childish voice, "Respected Lord Wizard, will you … will you eat us?"
Grim's expression changed slightly.
He really didn't expect that when he just communicated with Emelia using the Spirit Language, all the ideas were still in his mind, and he hadn't put them into action yet, but these little kittens had already sensed something.
They did not have any signs of elemental condensation, nor did they have any signs of extraordinary abilities, but they could sense the hidden malice of a Grade 4 Magus. How could this not make Grim sigh?
"Don't worry, we Magi have no interest in little fellows like you! If you get fatter and gain more meat, I might consider eating you … "With that, Grim put on a ferocious face and bared his fangs to intimidate them.
Strangely, however, no matter how fierce Grim acted, the kittens were not afraid at all. Instead, they rushed into his arms and snuggled together.
"The creatures of the Soul Realm naturally like to get close to those with superior spiritual force. That's why the Jungle Sage we're going to visit is the smartest and most knowledgeable one in this land. However, most of these fellows have learned how spellcasters trade fairly when they're out adventuring, so they might ask you to trade with them. "
"Trade? What kind of trade? What do I need to prepare in advance? "
"Nothing much. Most of their requests are for some special snacks. Only a few fellows will ask for other strange requests. Just do what you can and make your own choice. If the Sage here can't handle it, we can go to other places and find other local Sages to trade with. "
Grimm pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean that the Spirit Realm isn't divided by race or region, and that every place revolves around the Wise Ones you mentioned?"
"Yes!" Emelia nodded, "There are no so-called strong and weak in the Soul Realm, only so-called ordinary people and Sages. These Wise Ones were usually those who had signed contracts with other planes and had seen the Contracted Spirit Creatures of other planes. With the knowledge from other planes, their wisdom and insight are undoubtedly the strongest in the eyes of ordinary beings in the Soul Realm. "
Grim nodded silently, understanding the unique way the Soul Realm operated.
Three days later, as expected, they met the 'wise man' in a thatched hut in an open space in the forest.
It was a cheetah with beautiful black fur, but strangely enough, it had six claws and a strange hook at the end of its long tail. However, what surprised Grimm the most was the Soul Shadow floating above its head.
The soul shadow was exactly the same as the cheetah's body, just that it was a dozen times smaller.
Most of the illusory body's body was exposed outside the head, and only the bottom part was submerged in the head, connecting with the source of its soul.
Spirit Pact … this was a level 2 Spirit Pact!
Grim could sense that the strange cheetah in front of him seemed to have signed a soul contract with someone from a faraway plane. The latter could use the power of the contract to summon it from the Soul Realm to his plane at any time.
