"Chirp chirp chirp".
The little guy was bouncing around, seemingly very interested in zero.
The earth spirit within the space hurriedly said:
"Quickly subdue it!"
Perhaps, once Zero successfully subdues it, he will know the whereabouts of the Wood Spirit Orb, and the Wood Spirit... should be here...
After hearing this, Zero nodded and stretched out his index finger to take a bite, but the little guy suddenly opened his mouth and bit Zero's palm.
Unlike the previous little red dot, the wood spirit was now putting in all its effort.
Upon taking that bite, beads of blood instantly appeared.
"Chirp chirp."
The wood spirit seemed quite pleased with its masterpiece, jumping around in Zero's palm after taking a bite, chirping incessantly.
Unfortunately, Zero couldn't understand what it was saying.
After a while, the contract light array was still nowhere to be seen. Not only were they puzzled, but even the earth spirits within the space were also confused.
"The contract wasn't triggered? How could this be..."
Tu Ling exclaimed in surprise.
Before Zero could speak, Earth Spirit continued:
“There are two possibilities that the contract wasn’t triggered. The first is that this wood spirit has grown to the point where it is no longer bound by the rules of heaven and earth. The second is that someone has already formed a contract with it in advance…”
The problem is, both of these possibilities are practically zero...
He could never believe that a wood spirit could grow to be unrestrained by the rules of heaven and earth, so there must be only the second possibility—being contracted by someone.
But how could anyone in the human realm know the law of contracts? Even if it was an unintentional mistake, it's highly unlikely.
This is why it's even more perplexing.
What's going on with this wood spirit...?
"Grandpa Tuling, what do we do next?"
"The earth spirit within the Zero Dynasty space asked."
Grandpa Tu Ling had previously told him to subdue the Wood Spirit and then use its power to find the Wood Spirit Orb, but now it seems impossible.
Earth Spirit pondered for a moment and said:
"Look around here and see if there's anything unusual."
He still refused to give up.
Tu Ling felt that things were not as he thought, and that the wood spirit was indeed ownerless.
He suddenly realized a possibility...
Just then, Zero suddenly shouted:
"Grandpa Earth Spirit, the ground here is so strange..."
The surrounding area was all earthy yellow, but here, there were even wisps of green peeking through.
Upon hearing this, Tu Ling appeared from the space and came to the place Zero had mentioned, then squatted down.
"I see……"
"Um?"
"What do you know?" Zero looked at Tu Ling, waiting for him to continue.
The earth spirit carefully examined the area bathed in faint green light for a while, then exclaimed with delight:
"Very good!"
She looked at him with no doubt.
Earth Spirit explained:
"This wood spirit is newly born and is still in a transition period, which is why it is not bound by the rules of heaven and earth."
Transition period?
The earth spirit pointed to the lingering green light on the ground and said:
"These are the wood essences that it didn't fully absorb when it was born."
What is its purpose?
Zero asked.
Tu Ling was still excited when he saw Ling so dull, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and tap him on the forehead.
He is a spirit, so naturally he can't tap zero; doing so is too hasty.
"The essence of wood, as the name suggests, is the essence of the wood element. Compared to ordinary wood elements, it is purer and something that is hard to come by."
"This thing only appears when a wood spirit is born, and it will dissipate in a quarter of an hour, so you should absorb it quickly!"
Tu Ling stared intently at Zero, his eyes gleaming with golden light.
Zero felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at, and couldn't help but say:
“But Grandpa Earth Spirit, I haven’t awakened the Wood element yet.”
He hasn't awakened the wood element, so how can he absorb it...?
If the Earth Spirit were standing instead of floating in the air, he would definitely be stomping his feet frantically right now.
Tu Ling glared at Ling with a hint of disappointment, and said:
"Are you stupid... You are a being of all spirits, you can absorb any element."
Maybe it can even awaken.
However, Tu Ling didn't say the rest of the sentence because the probability was extremely low.
In his view, it's impossible for someone to both absorb and awaken at zero, so it's best not to discuss it further...
Zero nodded, sat down cross-legged, and activated his Myriad Spirits Body, absorbing the specks of green light into his body bit by bit.
The wood spirit, without Zero or the earth spirit noticing, quietly merged into Zero's body.
The Earth Spirit wasn't watching Zero, so it was unaware of the Wood Spirit's actions.
Besides, with such a small amount of wood essence, zero absorption is not a problem at all; what he should do is be vigilant about his surroundings.
Although we are in the human realm, we cannot guarantee that beings from other planes will not appear.
After all, the human realm is no longer the same as it used to be...
"Hmm."
Zero suddenly groaned, and Tu Ling instinctively turned to Zero, only to see that Zero's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
What happened?
It's just absorbing the essence of wood, how could this happen...?
"Ugh..."
Zero kept groaning, seemingly in endless pain.
"Old Dao, come out and take a look, what's wrong with Zero?"
The earth spirit couldn't think of anything for a moment, so it called out to the sword spirit in the space.
Unexpectedly, a voice of doubt came from the space:
"Huh? That's strange, I can't get out..."
"Can't get out? What's going on?"
The sword spirit tried it again, confirmed it was correct, and replied:
"I can no longer enter or leave the space on my own. Something must have happened to Zero Boy, and the space has activated its protection mechanism."
"Then what should we do?"
