The two of them played around for a while and felt much more relaxed.
"Brother Moxi, we still have to look for other spirit beads next." Mu Li said seriously.
Mo Xi nodded: "Well, no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together."
They left the space and prepared to continue their journey.
"Brother Moxi, according to the clue, the second wooden spirit bead may be in a mysterious forest." Mu Li said.
"Okay, let's go." Mo Xi nodded and said.
"good."
The two headed towards the mysterious forest and encountered some small monsters along the way, but they were all easily repelled by Mo Xi.
Finally reaching the edge of the forest, an ancient and mysterious atmosphere filled them. Mu Li held Mo Xi's hand tightly, feeling both nervous and excited. As soon as they entered the forest, thick fog filled the air, making visibility extremely low.
"Be careful, Ali." Mo Xi reminded softly.
"Brother Moxi, you should also be careful." Mu Li nodded and said.
They continued walking deeper into the forest and found that the trees here were tall and ancient, with branches and leaves intertwined, almost covering the sky.
"Ali, this place feels very unusual, be careful." Mo Xi said vigilantly.
Mu Li responded, "Well, Brother Mo Xi, you should be careful too."
As they walked, they found that the trees around them seemed to be moving, as if forming a maze.
"Is this a maze?" Mu Li asked doubtfully.
Mo Xi observed the surroundings: "It's possible. We can't walk around randomly. We have to find a pattern."
Just as they were trying to crack the maze, a group of tree monsters jumped out of the woods and attacked them.
Mo Xi and Mu Li responded quickly. Mu Li's mermaid song had a weaker effect in this forest, while Mo Xi struggled to resist the tree monster's attack.
"Ali, I'll hold you back, you see if you can find the center of the formation." Mo Xi shouted while fighting.
"good."
Mu Li calmed down, carefully feeling the flow of air around her, and finally found a place that was different from the others.
"Brother Moxi, follow me." Mu Li ran in that direction.
They came to a huge ancient tree, and Mu Li found a glowing rune on the tree.
"This should be it." Mu Li said, preparing to cast a spell to destroy the rune.
At this moment, the ancient tree suddenly stretched out its branches and attacked Mu Li.
Mo Xi was quick-witted and stood in front of Mu Li, cutting off the branches.
Mu Li took the opportunity to successfully destroy the rune, the maze disappeared instantly, and the tree demon stopped attacking.
"Great, let's continue looking for the Wood Spirit Pearl." Mu Li said happily.
"good."
They continued walking deeper into the forest, when suddenly they heard a melodious flute sound.
Following the sound, I saw a snow-white fawn standing in front of me, with a faint green light flashing on its horns, as if guiding the way.
"This little deer is so strange. How did it appear here? Could it be related to the Wood Spirit Pearl?" Mu Li said in a low voice.
Mo Xi slowly approached the deer, but the deer was not afraid. Instead, it turned around and jumped forward.
The two exchanged glances and decided to follow the deer. After a while, the deer stopped at the foot of a huge, ancient tree. The trunk of the tree had strange patterns on it, and the Wood Spirit Pearl, emitting a warm glow, lay within the tree's hollow.
"Found it!" Mu Li shouted happily, and Mo Xi also showed a relieved smile on his face.
Mu Li was about to reach out to take the Wood Spirit Pearl when suddenly a black shadow flashed by and snatched the Pearl away. It turned out to be a cunning fox demon.
"Do you think it's so easy to get the Wood Spirit Pearl?" The fox demon sneered with a smug look on his face.
Mo Xi clenched his sword and glared at the fox demon: "Hand over the Wood Spirit Pearl!"
The fox demon sneered and blew out a puff of black smoke, which contained numerous spikes that rushed towards the two. Mu Li quickly sang the mermaid song, and the sound waves formed a shield to block the spikes. Mo Xi took advantage of the situation and flew up, attacking the fox demon.
The fox demon was agile, dodging left and right, but Mo Xi's attack was fierce. Just when Mo Xi was about to hurt the fox demon, the fox demon threw out the Wood Spirit Pearl, which released a powerful force and shook Mo Xi away.
Seeing this, Mu Li focused her energy and used her spiritual power to control the Wood Spirit Pearl, causing it to slowly fly towards her. The fox demon tried to snatch it, but was stopped by Mo Xi. After a fierce struggle, Mu Li finally recovered the Wood Spirit Pearl. Seeing the situation was not good, the fox demon fled in disgrace.
"Fortunately, the Wood Spirit Pearl was not lost." Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"It was a close call. Let's leave this forest quickly." Mo Xi said, holding Mu Li's hand.
"good."
After they walked for a while, they noticed that the little deer was following them closely.
"Brother Moxi, what do you think it means?" Mu Li looked back and said in a low voice.
"It seems like it wants to follow us." Mo Xi replied.
Mu Li stopped walking after hearing that and turned to look at Xiao Lu, "We're leaving here, you should go back!"
The deer shook its head and kicked the stones at its feet carelessly.
Mu Li and Mo Xi looked at each other, "Then do you want to follow us?"
The deer nodded, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Okay, then you make a contract with me. Only after the contract can I take you away from here. Otherwise, if you follow us out like this, you will be captured by bad guys!" Mu Li said with a smile.
The little deer nodded and motioned for Mu Li to drop blood on its forehead.
Mu Li did as she was told. In an instant, a bright light appeared, covering Mu Li and Xiao Lu. A moment later, a contract formation appeared under their feet, and the contract was completed.
"Master~" A soft and cute loli voice sounded in Mu Li's mind.
"Little deer?" Mu Li called out tentatively.
