Hearing Lin Jing speak like this, the Wood Spirit chieftain suddenly fell silent.
After a moment, he looked at Lin Jing again, his eyes slightly wary, and said,
“You wouldn’t happen to be thinking of using us to help you eliminate your enemies?”
Lin Jing laughed and replied,
“They are indeed my enemies,”
“But the initiative lies with you,”
“If they don’t provoke you and leave immediately after they arrive, then there’s no need for you to provoke them,”
“If they are truly searching for the Wood Element Five Elements Power and even come after you, it’s not too late to use this method then,”
“Don’t you think so?”
After hearing this, the Wood Spirit chieftain did not make a move yet.
The other Wood Spirits beside him began to communicate with each other.
This time, they did not argue.
Just moments later, they reached a consensus.
Then, one of the Wood Spirits whispered something in the ear of the Wood Spirit chieftain.
After listening, the Wood Spirit chieftain also nodded.
Subsequently,
The Wood Spirit chieftain said to Lin Jing,
“You’re right; not everyone is like you,”
“After all, our Wood Spirit ancestors have long warned us that most outside cultivators are ruthless,”
“We agree to your proposal,”
Lin Jing smiled, and then directly channeled his Spiritual Power, sending over the piece of cloth.
The Wood Spirit chieftain did not hesitate, directly condensed Wood Element Spiritual Power to catch the fabric, and then brought it in front of himself.
After receiving the fabric, the Wood Spirit chieftain inspected it and, seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he stashed it away.
Lin Jing then reminded,
“The range of the mark’s sensation on this goes for a thousand miles; you must be careful not to expose yourselves,”
The Wood Spirit chieftain nodded,
“Rest assured,”
“As soon as they come in, our people will be able to detect them immediately,”
After speaking, the Wood Spirit chieftain continued,
“That’s all we ask for, do you have any other requests?”
Lin Jing thought for a moment and then asked,
“I know, in each realm, apart from the Five Elements Power, there should be one extremely precious item,”
“I’d like to know, what is the treasure of your Wood Realm?”
Upon hearing this, the Wood Spirit chieftain’s face darkened instantly,
“There isn’t one,”
“Our Wood Realm doesn’t have the kind of treasure you’re talking about,”
The Wood Spirit chieftain’s reaction made it very hard for Lin Jing to believe his words.
Still,
he had just managed to reach an agreement with the Wood Spirits and naturally didn’t want to fall out over this issue,
Better to stay out of trouble,
and to leave the Wood Element Realm as soon as possible.
…
Next,
Lin Jing talked with the Wood Spirit chieftain for a while and then, as both had agreed,
Lin Jing took Babalon and left.
Two of the Wood Spirits who had been with the chieftain followed Lin Jing, watching his every move,
fearful that Lin Jing might harm Babalon.
As for the Wood Spirit chieftain, he led the rest of his people forward, informing his tribe to clear a path for Lin Jing.
The journey through the Wood Element Realm not only presented no danger, but even had locals clearing the path,
which could be said to be quite smooth sailing,
except for not gaining anything, all was well.
Lin Jing was transported to a place toward the southern side, while the Teleportation Array was on the very eastern edge of the Wood Realm.
Lin Jing, escorting Babalon, did not travel very fast; it would take about a month to reach the eastern edge,
Still,
with the Wood Spirits clearing the way, there was no danger along the path, so Lin Jing didn’t need to hurry.
…
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and Lin Jing had been in the Wood Realm for half a month.
Throughout this journey, Lin Jing could not say it was very comfortable, but it was certainly quite pleasant.
As for Baba Mulang, he basically only moved within a hundred meters of Lin Jing.
Of course, the Five Elements Power within him needed reinforcement by Lin Jing every two or three days.
Although it seemed that an agreement had been reached with the Wood Spirits.
But Lin Jing would not dare to gamble and place his reliance on others.
As for the two Wood Spirits who had been following behind, they kept a distance of a thousand meters from the two, a distance proposed by Lin Jing.
A thousand meters did not prevent them from keeping watch.
The Wood Spirit Tribe did not say anything, they just silently complied.
During this time, aside from Lin Jing, the one who was probably enjoying himself the most was Baba Mulang.
After the initial panic, Baba Mulang also discovered that Lin Jing would not harm him.
Instead, he became somewhat interested in Lin Jing.
Of course.
What he was actually most interested in was the outside world.
Their Wood Spirit Tribe had lived generation after generation in the Wood Element Realm, isolated from the world and never venturing out.
Even the little they knew of the outside world was from records left by their ancestors.
Therefore, they were both curious about and somewhat fearful of the outside world.
?0???.??
Especially someone like Baba Mulang who, although over a hundred years old, was only equivalent to a teenager in human years.
Still at an age where everything sparked his curiosity.
Naturally, he was exceedingly curious about the outside world that Lin Jing spoke of.
In the time they spent together, he had grown much more familiar with Lin Jing and frequently sought out Lin Jing to ask about the outside world.
When Lin Jing was free, he would also explain the outside world to Baba Mulang.
Of course.
Lin Jing not only explained, but sometimes he would also inquire with Baba Mulang about certain situations within the Wood Element Realm.
At first, Baba Mulang was somewhat guarded, but later relaxed his vigilance under Lin Jing’s subtle strategies.
Lin Jing came to understand.
Why Baba Mulang was so important.
The Wood Spirit Tribe belongs to the Wood Elves.
Naturally close to plants, they could even control them.
But there was also a drawback: Wood Spirits could only be born in places with exceedingly dense wood-type Spiritual Energy.
Not to mention a tribe of Wood Spirits developing; the amount of wood-type Spiritual Energy needed to form a tribe was even more exaggerated.
For such a race to continue.
Apart from wood-type Spiritual Energy, there needed to be a True Wood Spirit.
Each generation, the Wood Spirit Tribe would have a ‘Destiny’, whose mission was to merge with a True Wood Spirit.
Allowing a True Wood Spirit to merge with their tribe’s Destiny, thus blessing the tribe with its protection and ensuring the survival of the entire race.
And Baba Mulang, was that ‘Destiny’.
In the Wood Spirit Tribe, the previous Destiny had died many years ago, and their entire tribe had already diminished a great deal.
If Baba Mulang were to die as well, it was very possible that before the next True Wood Spirit appeared, this entire tribe would have disappeared.
It was for this reason that the Wood Spirit Tribe’s Elder dared to stake the entire tribe’s survival on Baba Mulang.
And Baba Mulang’s attack on Lin Jing was actually an accident.
Baba Mulang was supposed to stay within the tribe, but out of playfulness, he snuck out.
After all, Baba Mulang was nothing more than a child of around ten years old, naturally lively, and that was perfectly normal.
Moreover, after merging with the True Wood Spirit, Baba Mulang’s actual strength was not weak.
It was just that he lacked combat experience, and many of his tactics were almost useless against Lin Jing.
But his ability to escape was indeed quite good.
Otherwise, Lin Jing would not have been able to catch him only after using the System Space.
It can only be said that curiosity killed the cat.
If he had not been curious about Lin Jing’s sudden disappearance, he would not have been caught by Lin Jing.
During this time, Baba Mulang indeed asked about this matter, wanting to know how Lin Jing managed to disappear suddenly.
Lin Jing naturally could not answer.
He could only say to him mysteriously, “Secret,” leaving him there scratching his head…
…
Just now, Baba Mulang again asked Lin Jing about some extraordinary stories of the outside world.
After Lin Jing finished telling him and as he was about to leave,
Lin Jing stopped him, and then asked,
“Doesn’t your Wood Realm have any rare treasures?”
“Last time I brought it up, why did your tribe’s Elder seem to have a rather troubled complexion?’
“Is he hiding something from me?”
