"Hehehe, look at how scared you are."
Seeing Du Feng's nervous expression, the wood spirit girl giggled. That Purple Qilin was a fifth level demonic beast. A random breath of fire could melt iron and stone. Just a few roars was enough to break a practitioner's courage. Not to mention Du Feng, even the heads of the major sects didn't dare provoke it.
However, this Purple Qilin was currently in a dormant state. As long as its body wasn't touched, it normally wouldn't wake up. This was why the wood spirit girl suddenly wanted Du Feng to help her retrieve the item. His movement skills were so good that he didn't make a sound when he jumped down from the tree like a feather. He probably wouldn't wake the sleeping Purple Qilin.
"Eh, then I'll try."
Du Feng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and reluctantly agreed. Just what kind of beautiful item could make a girl go crazy for it? If it was some kind of peerless treasure sword or heaven-defying cultivation method, then so be it. But to take such a big risk for such a beautiful item, he really couldn't understand the minds of these girls.
With the wood spirit girl's suggestion, the two of them returned to a thick tree branch to rest after finishing their meal. The damp ground wasn't suitable for long periods of time. Last time, a bunch of poisonous scorpions crawled out of the ground. This time, it was hard to say what would come out.
Although they were already hiding on a tall tree branch, Du Feng was still a bit worried. He took out a few formation flags and set up a simple chain of small formations. Apart from basic defensive functions, it also had a certain warning function. As long as someone came near this tree, he would immediately know.
"With this, aren't you afraid of being ambushed?"
Seeing the things Du Feng had set up, the wood spirit was very curious. It was just a few small flags that were inserted here and there in circles. After inserting them, the flags would disappear from where they were and then they could sleep in peace. One had to know that although she was born in the Dark Forest, when night came, even the tall branches weren't safe.
Scorpions, snakes, centipedes, and other poisonous insects could crawl out of nowhere at any time. There was also a strange vampire bat that usually hibernated at the top of the tree. At night, they would come out to patrol. Once they detected a heat source on an animal, they would swarm up and suck it dry.
Although the Wood Spirit could allow itself to merge with the aura of the plants, it required the consumption of elemental energy, and it had to be done when it was awake. Once a person fell asleep, their body would completely relax, and all their weaknesses would be exposed. Therefore, every time she slept, she would find a big leaf to cover herself. Curling up in it gave him a sense of security.
"This blanket is quite interesting."
Actually, with the defensive array, the vampire bats would not be able to detect them. However, Du Feng followed the Wood Spirit's example and covered himself with a large leaf. Martial artists were not afraid of the cold, but it was still quite comfortable to be covered with a blanket.
"Big Brother Belly, will you still bring me to eat roasted chicken drumsticks after we get out?"
It was especially quiet tonight. Even the moon hid behind the dark clouds. The vampire bats didn't seem to be patrolling the area, but the wood spirit girl couldn't seem to fall asleep. She was filled with curiosity towards the outside world, but at the same time, she felt a little uneasy.
"I will. Not only will we eat roasted chicken drumsticks, but I will also bring you to roasted lamb legs, roasted pig trotters …"
Du Feng listed out the names of many delicacies in one breath. Although the Wood Spirit had never seen any of them before, she felt that they would definitely be delicious after hearing them. If she had known that there were so many delicacies in the outside world, she would have risked her life to sneak out.
"Let me tell you, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant's Shaojiu, the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion's Roast Duck, the Fortune House's Four Happiness Meatballs …"
As he spoke, even Du Feng himself started to feel hungry. Thinking about how he had to raise his Cultivation level, prepare for the sect test, and deal with all kinds of dangers, it had been a long time since he had a good meal. Du Feng counted out the delicacies one by one, and also introduced the specialties of each delicacy, such as which restaurant had the best food, which restaurant had the prettiest lady boss.
As he counted, he actually fell asleep. Interestingly, the Wood Spirit girl also fell asleep. In her dreams, she saw the various delicacies that Big Brother Belly was talking about, and smacked her lips. So much so that when she woke up in the morning, her mouth was still drooling.
"Big Brother Belly, you're awake."
The Wood Spirit opened her eyes and realized that Du Feng was staring at her. She felt a little embarrassed. She quickly wiped the drool from her mouth, lifted the leaf blanket, stood up and tidied up her clothes.
"Let's go, I'll bring you along."
Today, Du Feng was no longer smiling mischievously, but serious. Last night, the two of them had already talked about the situation. The Purple Qilin's cave was not far from here, and with their speed, they would arrive in half a day. So early in the morning, before the Wood Spirit had woken up, he had already completed Beast Fusion.
Only in the Fusion state was he at his strongest state. Whether it was strength, speed, agility, or sensitivity, they were all at their peak.
"Okay!"
The Wood Spirit girl obediently walked to Du Feng's side, stood shoulder to shoulder, and then held onto his arm. Although her speed was not slow, it was still not comparable to Du Feng's. So today, Big Brother Belly brought her along, and if necessary, they could even use Earth Escape to avoid attacks.
"Whoosh …"
The angry Du Feng was too scary. His legs exerted force, and he leapt forward with the Wood Spirit. Usually, he would only leap over one tree at a time, but this time, he leapt over five. Because his speed was too fast, the Wood Spirit's hair was blown backwards.
The Wood Spirit was so frightened by this terrifying speed that she used both her arms to hold onto Du Feng's arm, not even bothering to tidy up her hair. How was this jumping in the forest, it was clearly flying. Every time Du Feng landed on a tree branch, he would immediately leap up high again. The pause in between was very short, like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water.
Seeing the rapidly retreating trees, the Wood Spirit was so excited that her face turned red. She turned to look at the serious face of Du Feng, and thought to herself, will Big Brother Belly bring me along to fly like this in the future?
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
As they went deeper, the distance between the trees seemed to increase, and the distance between each tree was much greater. However, Du Feng's speed did not decrease, but increased instead. He had already gotten used to this method of not moving on flat ground. Using the [Snowy Steps to Seek Plum Blossoms] movement technique, it was as if he was walking on flat ground. Previously, he had to leap up high to reach the distant tree branches, but now, he was basically jumping horizontally, as if he was running through thin air.
