Keep moving forward...

"Let's do it here."

The earth spirit in the space suddenly spoke.

Zero stopped in his tracks and couldn't help but ask:

"Grandpa Tuling, do you think this place is suitable for settling down?"

Earth Spirit replied:

“This place has abundant soil elements, which is suitable for you and me. It is also relatively close to a water source, and there are no broken walls or ruins here, so it will be easier for you to build a house.”

"Alright."

Zero estimated the time and calculated that it would take a lot of time to build a house, so he stopped searching and followed the advice of Tu Ling to land at the place above.

Indeed, as Tu Ling said, the area above the soil layer was vast and flat, not as severely faulted or filled with abandoned buildings as one might have imagined.

Looking at this area, which resembled a plaza, Zero excitedly began to plan the model...

Just then, he suddenly felt something tugging at him...

He subconsciously looked down, but found nothing.

Perhaps it's just my imagination...

With that thought in mind, Zero continued dividing the construction areas.

He had only taken a few steps when that arrogant feeling returned...

He looked down again, but still found nothing.

Zero secretly kept a watchful eye on things.

He appeared to be surveying the terrain, but his attention was actually focused on his feet.

Sure enough, not long after, the pulling sensation returned.

Ling pretended not to notice and continued walking, but her attention was entirely focused on her feet.

The little thing that was pulling at Zero, seeing that Zero hadn't noticed it, quietly climbed onto his shoes and crawled under his trouser leg.

Ling pretended to be exhausted and sat down on the ground, but her hand secretly reached towards her shoes...

"Chirp chirp..."

Before Zero could explore himself, the little thing hidden under his trouser leg crawled out on its own, making its way down to Zero's palm.

"What is that?"

Zero unconsciously shook his hand, which provoked the creature on his hand to bite.

The pain in his hand stimulated Zero.

Zero looked down and saw a strange-looking little bean clinging to his hand, with a red dot on the palm. Without a doubt, the red dot was the result of the creature in his hand.

"Chirp chirp."

Seemingly trying to get Zero's attention, the little bean in her hand called out softly.

Ling frowned as she looked at the little creature, not understanding where it came from.

He then asked the earth spirit in the space:

"Grandpa Tuling, do you know what this is?"

Grandpa Tu Ling is very knowledgeable; he should know this guy's background...

Sure enough, the earth spirit in the space nodded after hearing this, or rather, nodded in shock, saying:

"This is a wood spirit."

What is wood spirit?

Zero asked.

Tu Ling explained:

"Wood spirits are the companion spirits of the wood element. Legend has it that wherever a wood spirit exists, the wood element gathers."

"And this place, if I'm not mistaken, should be where the wood spirits live. If we consider this place as a formation, then the wood spirits are the core of the formation."

"even……"

Tu Ling paused, then continued under Ling's curious gaze:

"There might even be a Wood Spirit Orb here..."

Wood Spirit Orb!

Zero remembers having an Earth Spirit Orb in his space. If there's a Wood Spirit Orb here, then...

Good heavens, what incredible luck he has...

A sudden idea to dig a tunnel not only awakened the water element but also led to the discovery of the wood spirit, and even, as the earth spirit had said, the existence of a wood spirit orb...

Tu Ling was also surprised, but he quickly calmed down and poured a bowl of cold water on the remaining amount, saying:

"However, don't be too happy yet... You haven't awakened the wood element yet, so even if the wood spirit orb exists here, you won't be able to sense its presence."

Seeing Zero's dejection, Tu Ling changed the subject again, saying:

"However, the wood spirit is a good thing. You can try to subdue it, and then you can rely on it to use some basic wood-type powers."

Upon hearing this, Zero looked down at the little guy, who was also looking at him.

Their eyes met.
