Traveling in the Ancient Forest was far easier than traveling in the Wild Swamp of Ancient Woods.
Of course, there were poisonous snakes and beasts, dangerous poisonous insects, and ferocious monsters. But at least there was solid ground under their feet, and they could vaguely find some paths in the jungle, so they didn't have to be careful with every step.
Steele flew back and forth in the woods, seriously performing the task of a scout, while Ray honestly acted as his "mount," chatting with Sui Xiong, who stayed on top of his head like a green hat.
"When we arrived at the Ancient Forest, we should go to the Ancient Elf Temple and visit the world's greatest sage," he said. "Unfortunately, our location is too far from the Ancient Elf Temple. It is located in the middle of the Ancient Forest to the east, close to the Kingdom of Thousands of Springs. If we go there from here … "He secretly calculated in his heart," it will take more than half a month. "
"Then forget it." Sui Xiong waved his tentacles and said indifferently, "Business is more important. Let's go find Knight Parne first and get the Lord of my Holy Land back. Then we will have leisure time to stroll around. "
"Is that Knight Parne really that powerful?" Ray asked with some doubts, "Is he worth you almost crossing the whole Main Plane to invite him?"
"I don't know, but the development of my church definitely needs talents. Whether this knight is a master of territory construction or not, even if it is just to make an advertisement to those who have talent but don't get it, I must personally invite him."
Ray was stunned, and after a long silence, he said, "I can't believe you know so much about our human politics!"
"In a distant country, there was a king who wanted to get a famous horse, so he sent a capable minister to buy it at a high price. The minister searched for three months and finally got the news of a famous horse, but when he arrived, the horse had just died of illness. The minister spent half of the budget given by the king to buy the horse's bones and take them back. The king angrily asked him why, and he replied, 'A king who is willing to spend a lot of money to buy the bones of a famous horse will definitely choose him first if he wants to sell a famous horse. You will soon get a famous horse.' Just as he said, in less than a year, many people brought famous horses to the King. "
After listening to Sui Xiong talk about the story of "a thousand gold bones", Ray thought for a while and sighed, "During this time, His Majesty has mentioned 'a distant country' more than once. There were many wise men who left behind many thought-provoking stories, but I had never heard of any of them before … Your Majesty Void Mask, where on earth is that country? May I have the honor of paying a visit? "
Sui Xiong laughed bitterly and said, "If possible, I also want to know where that country is. If I have the chance to go, and if you really want to go, I can take you with me. "
"It's just that … if we go there, we might never be able to return."
Ray shrugged indifferently. It didn't matter to him whether he could come back or not. There was nothing he couldn't give up here.
Looking at his attitude, Sui Xiong knew the answer and could not help but sigh secretly.
Ray was supposed to be a prince. How did he end up like this? When the Church had stabilized, should he try to help him regain his status as a member of the royal family? Maybe he could even help him become a king …
Unconsciously, Sui Xiong was lost in his thoughts again.
"Can I raise this guy?" Steele's voice woke him up from his thoughts. He stared at her and saw her playing with a monster that she had just caught. She seemed to be in high spirits.
Sui Xiong was familiar with that monster. It was a Slime.
Master Trian, a master of enchantment, alchemy, and medicine, had raised a Slime before his death. It was a blue Slime with intelligence, and it was used to changing into the appearance of a petite girl with long hair. Before Master Trian died, he named it "Wendy" and passed his legacy to his only disciple. This Slime girl was also a master of enchantment, alchemy, and medicine. She was also a master of enchantment, alchemy, and medicine. She was not as powerful as Master Trian, after all.
After all … she was a Slime.
Slime was one of the weakest species among all the known monsters. Most of them were so weak that an adult could only fight against four or five of them. Although there were some powerful mutants among them, no matter how strong they were, their foundation was too weak, and their growth was limited.
For example, Wendy was already considered a super expert among the Slimes. In this race, she would be an unparalleled champion who could punch a tiger of the south mountain and kick a dragon of the north sea. However, if she wasn't in the Mage Tower and didn't use scrolls and various support items, she would at most be able to fight evenly with a rookie adventurer and earn the evaluation of "noobs pecking each other".
The Slime caught by Steele was also a mutant. It was much smaller than the average Slime, and it was only the size of a palm. It was as green as a leaf, and its appearance was quite beautiful. However, Sui Xiong could clearly sense that this little fellow's power was far greater than that of an ordinary Slime.
In the Ancient Forest, Slime was a relatively common monster. At this moment, there was one under a tree not far from them. It was green and soft, and it had caught a worm and was slowly digesting it. That guy was at least a hundred times bigger than the one caught by Steele, but its strength was less than one-tenth of that of this one.
"This Slime is quite rare." Ray curiously looked at the little green Slime lying on Steele's palm, and couldn't help but praise it, "It's so beautiful! It's a work of art! "
"Yes, I saw it by accident, and it took me a lot of effort to catch it," Steele said happily, "It resisted very fiercely when I caught it. But I fed it a candy, and it immediately became obedient, just like an innocent little boy … "
She happily gave an example that was not suitable for children, and then she gave another example. The scale was so big, and the content was so explosive that Ray couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was speechless about the examples this woman gave.
Sure enough, she was a guy who almost became an evil Holy Spirit. A simple bad guy like him who only knew how to kill and set fire, compared to this guy who was like a pile of filth in the whole world, he was just a pure little flower!
Thinking of this, he quietly took two steps back, widening the distance between him and Steele.
Although he wasn't sure whether perversion was contagious, it was better to stay away from her.
Sui Xiong didn't care. In the past, when he was in various forums, he had seen a lot of "Filth King", "Filth Saint", and so on. There were countless strong people who spoke dirty words and specialized in attacking the bottom three. In comparison, Steele's words, which would definitely be blocked on a novel website, were actually nothing.
But looking at Steele's excited look, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Steele, I thought you had no other hobbies besides being lecherous, but it turns out that you also like these cute pets. Haha, this is what a normal woman should do! "
Steele smiled sweetly, "This little guy is not only cute, but also can change. As long as I teach it well …!"
Probably because she was too excited, she talked dirty again and talked about topics that were not suitable for children.
Sui Xiong was silent, and Ray couldn't bear it anymore and chanted the Band-tightening Spell.
After some trouble, Steele was finally approved to keep this rare pet. But Sui Xiong warned her very seriously not to play with those kinds of things.
"I won't get hurt, it's so small," Steele said.
"It's us who will get hurt!" The jellyfish god and his mount shouted in unison.
At this moment, the synchronization rate was 100%!
"Ray, if this guy talks nonsense again, chant the Band-tightening Spell."
"Okay! I've wanted to do that for a long time! "
Steele pretended not to hear the conversation between Sui Xiong and Ray, and concentrated on playing with the little slime that she had just named "Little Green". She had a lot of fun playing with it.
After having this pet, Steele was much more obedient. In her spare time, she didn't sneak out to hunt for wild food, but put all her energy into playing with and teaching the pet.
But the content of her teaching was a bit suspicious: she made the little green slime change into a shape that would definitely be censored on TV, and then taught it to stretch and shorten, and to constantly shake its body — the slim-minded slime obviously couldn't understand what she meant, but Sui Xiong and Ray understood …
"Do you need me to chant the Band-tightening Spell?" Ray asked.
"… Although I really want to do that, to be honest, it doesn't make sense." Sui Xiong sighed, "What reason should I use to punish her? Mistreat the pet? "
Seeing that the little slime would get a candy every time he practiced hard, Ray couldn't help but let out a long sigh and lowered his head.
His heart was full of powerlessness and frustration.
The journey continued for about a week before they encountered the second elven village.
This was also a Tree Elf village, but the scale of this village was much larger than the previous one. Moreover, there were many masters in this village, and there were more than a dozen of them who could sense Ray's aura. Moreover, there was also a deep, sea-like aura hidden in an inconspicuous house in the corner of the village. Occasionally, it would be revealed, and even the most daring thieves would feel uneasy.
Not only that, but the atmosphere in the village was also very tense. Most of the pedestrians were carrying weapons, and there were many races other than the Tree Elves living here. In particular, there were a few tall and burly priests wearing heavy armor with the holy emblem of the elves engraved on their armor. No matter how you looked at them, they didn't look like the type of people who were suitable for living in the jungle. They were obviously outsiders.
"What's going on?" Sui Xiong, of course, also felt it. He stretched out his tentacles and poked Steele, who was staring at a strong Wild Elf in the distance, and ordered her to gather information.
Steele gladly accepted this order, threw the luggage into the hotel room, and left while humming a little song. After a while, she came back with a smile and told Sui Xiong the information she had gathered.
"An evil red dragon has come to this village, and it has destroyed two villages and captured many elves as food. They have called their relatives, friends, and masters to form a dragon-slaying team to kill the evil dragon, to avenge their dead companions, and to rescue their captured clansmen. "
"I see …" Sui Xiong pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile, "How about we join them?"
