"Awoo …"
The horn on its head flashed, and Little Gray opened its eyes. It cried out as it jumped down from its horse and ran towards a tree in front of it. This was the third time that Little Gray had done something like this after entering the Fairy Forest.
Of course, Ling Chen followed after it, and found a fist-sized, stone-like object at the location that Little Gray had pointed at.
[Rainbow Agate]: The highest grade of agate. It has a fine texture, a brilliant lustre, and beautiful veins. It can only be found in natural areas without any impurities, and the conditions for its formation are incredibly harsh. In the Forgotten Continent, there will only be 1 Rainbow Agate out of every 300,000 agate stones. It is incredibly valuable, and is used for sculptures, decorations, and forging.
This was the third Rainbow Agate that Ling Chen had found after entering the Fairy Forest. Little Gray had found all 3 of them, and they had been hidden in well-hidden trees or bushes.
According to the description, Rainbow Agate was one of the most valuable types of agate, and it was incredibly rare. However, after entering the Fairy Forest for less than an hour, Ling Chen had already found 3 of them. The Fairy Forest was pure and untainted, and indeed met the requirements for Rainbow Agate. However, that didn't mean that there were large amounts of Rainbow Agate in the Fairy Forest. Rather, it was because Little Gray's treasure-hunting abilities were simply too powerful. As long as it was within its range of detection, it would not miss out on any precious treasures. Moreover, from the things that Little Gray had found, it seemed that all of the things that it could find were incredibly valuable. As for the things that were less valuable to others, Little Gray didn't seem to care about them at all. The less valuable ones were even more disdainful.
"I wonder how much this would fetch if I sold it in the Azure Dragon City." Ling Chen muttered to himself as he looked at the Rainbow Agate. At the same time, he inwardly sighed at the wealth that Little Gray had given him. As long as he had Little Gray by his side, he would never have to worry about becoming poor. Any one of the things that Little Gray had found could make a person rich overnight.
The Forgotten Continent was vast, and there was no lack of rare treasures. What they lacked was the ability to find and discover them. The higher the grade of the treasure, the harder it was to discover it. Many people might spend their entire lives guarding a treasure of heaven and earth without knowing it. Little Gray, on the other hand, possessed an extremely powerful treasure detection ability, or more precisely, the treasure's ability to discover him. This was because it didn't need to take the initiative to scout. Even if it was sleeping, it would immediately notice if there were treasures nearby. This kind of ability was simply unimaginable. Just as Qi Yue had said, if Little Gray's ability was known to the public, there would be countless people who would disdain everything to snatch it away.
"It seems like there are many treasures in the Elf Forest. Little Gray, let's continue forward and see if we can find anything else. "Ling Chen raised his head and said as he put away the Rainbow Agate.
"Wu wu!"
Little Gray nodded, and prepared to jump onto Cloud-treading Colt's back. At this moment, the horn on its head suddenly flashed with a faint light, and it froze.
Ling Chen saw the faint light, and couldn't help but laugh, "Could there be other treasures nearby?"
Little Gray wagged its tail, and turned in a circle. When its horn pointed towards the west, a dim grey light flashed, and did not dissipate for a long time. Little Gray barked, and started to run towards the west. Ling Chen didn't hesitate, and immediately followed.
The further Little Gray ran, the brighter the light on its horn became. After running for about 50 metres, Little Gray stopped, and its body didn't move at all as it stared in front of it … in front of it was a tree that was nearly 1 metre thick, and so tall that its top couldn't be seen. It didn't go around the tree, and instead stood there, staring at it.
"Is it under this tree?" Ling Chen asked tentatively. If that was the case, then he would have a real headache. With his abilities, there was no way he could take something from under such a huge tree.
Little Gray didn't answer. It flicked its tail, and took a few small steps forward. It came before the tree, stretched out its front paw, and knocked on the tree, making a soft "pu pu" sound.
"What's wrong, Little Gray?" Little Gray's reaction was a little strange, and it didn't seem like it had found a treasure. Ling Chen put away Cloud-treading Colt, and walked over to ask.
"Pu pu … Pu pu …" Little Gray used its front paw to knock on the tree a few times, and didn't respond to Ling Chen's words. It seemed to be thinking about something. Then, it took a few steps back, and stood about half a metre away from the tree. After a few seconds of silence, it suddenly ran around the tree.
One lap, two laps, three laps …
Under Ling Chen's astonished gaze, Little Gray ran clockwise three laps around the tree, paused, and ran counterclockwise one lap, returning to its starting point. Ling Chen was confused, and just as he was about to ask, he saw Little Gray's body leap toward the tree trunk in front of it, and it was about to collide with the trunk. However, the moment Little Gray's body touched the trunk, Ling Chen's vision blurred, and Little Gray suddenly disappeared … disappeared without a trace.
"Little Gray!?" Ling Chen was shocked, and he quickly walked over to touch the spot where Little Gray had disappeared. It was rough and hard, and it was a normal tree trunk. However, Little Gray had really disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by the trunk.
What was going on? Ling Chen frowned, and stared at the tree in a daze, his mind replaying Little Gray's earlier actions. Then, he stood at the spot where Little Gray had been, and ran around the tree. First, he ran clockwise three laps, then counterclockwise one. Then, he took a deep breath and jumped forward …
As he jumped, the tree in front of him instantly closed in, and was about to collide with his body. Ling Chen forced himself not to close his eyes, but just as he was about to touch the trunk, his vision blurred, and then the world spun around him. His leaping body did not collide with the trunk, but fell normally. Caught off guard, he staggered forward when he landed, but immediately steadied himself, and quickly looked behind him … Behind him, and around him, there was no sign of the tree.
Not only that, but the scenery around him was completely different from before. Although it was still the same shade of trees and blooming flowers, it was not the same place as before. It was as if in that instant, the space had suddenly changed.
What was going on? What happened? Where was this? Was he still in the Fairy Forest?
"Woo woo!"
Little Gray's voice rang in his ears. Ling Chen immediately looked down and saw Little Gray at his feet. It barked a few times at Ling Chen, then ran south. Ling Chen took out the map and locked on to his current position. He found that he was still in the Fairy Forest, but his position had shifted at least five kilometers to the west. He frowned and followed Little Gray.
After a short while, a large patch of shrubbery appeared in front of them. Xiao Hui stopped in front of the shrubbery, paused for a short while, then went in, then came out again, went in again, and came out again. After repeating this three times, Xiao Hui once again went into the shrubbery, just like before, its body disappeared from there.
Ling Chen's heart had calmed down. He walked to where Little Gray had been and copied its movements. When he was done, the world before his eyes spun again. The bush disappeared, and was replaced by a clear lake.
This was a small lake in the Fairy Forest. Ling Chen took out the map and found that this small lake was not marked on it … This meant that the Qian Gungun had not come to this place. He was now in the southwest of the Elven Forest, far away from where he was just now. Little Grey continued to run forward until he reached the edge of the lake. After walking along the edge of the lake for a while, he stopped at a certain spot. From there, he jumped up high, down, down … After repeating this three times, he jumped forward, and just as he was about to touch the surface of the water, he disappeared again.
Ling Chen: "…"
Ling Chen now understood that there seemed to be some special teleportation matrix hidden in the Fairy Forest. Once this matrix was activated, one would immediately be transported to a specific location. Little Gray's series of movements was the method to activate these teleportation matrices. Ling Chen did not know how Little Gray knew how to activate these teleportation matrices. Perhaps it should be said that many of its abilities were mysteries that could not be solved. Standing by the lake, he repeated Little Gray's movements. Now, he really wanted to know where this strange teleportation matrix would send him.
He jumped into the lake, but did not touch the water at all. Instead, he arrived at a place where the trees were too dense. Ling Chen stopped thinking about it and focused on following Little Gray's footsteps. He repeated Little Gray's movements, and was continuously teleported. Sometimes he was teleported to the north, sometimes he was teleported to the southeast, and sometimes he was teleported to the northwest … It was chaotic and irregular. After being teleported more than ten times, Ling Chen began to feel dizzy. And during these ten times, the hidden teleportation matrix was triggered in a different way, but Little Gray was able to trigger it accurately every time.
After the seventeenth time …
Ling Chen was a little numb to the constant teleportation. This time, when the new scene became clear in his vision, Ling Chen's eyes widened.
The densely packed trees were gone. Before his eyes was a colorful world of flowers and grasses.
The grass was green and the flowers were colorful. Countless strange flowers bloomed with an almost bewitching beauty. Together with the green grass that intertwined with them, they formed a sea of flowers and grass. Ling Chen stood there, dumbfounded by the beautiful scenery in front of him. This was a scenery that could only appear in heaven or in a dream!
Unable to resist, Ling Chen raised his wrist and took a picture of the scenery. He could not calm down for a long time.
Among the thousands of flowers, there was a narrow path leading into the distance, cutting the endless sea of flowers in half. The place where he stood was on this small path.
Where … is this place?
