While Caitlin was still trying to deal with the pit that Lofan had dug, Lofan and his group had already left the Giantwood Forest and were traveling downstream along a river.
"This is... high-grade Wood Spirit Liquid?" Ellie's eyes widened. This was one of the main ingredients of a top-grade healing potion, and it was very rare on the market.
This medicine, just a tiny bit, can bring a critically injured person back to life.
"Sigh, I was wondering if this thing might be the fountain of life, but it turns out it really isn't!"
"What are you thinking? The Fountain of Life is a treasure that can prolong life, and its effects are much stronger than this," Ellie retorted.
Sometimes, Luo Fan's ideas are indeed quite naive. Is he so obsessed with transforming into human form that he's gone mad?
"I know it's not, but it tastes really good."
"Aren't you afraid that green shoots will grow from your body? The Wood Spirit Liquid can even promote growth!"
"Ah, it can be like this too?" Luo Fan quickly compressed the restless aura of wood element within his body, then expelled it along with the mucus. He had originally intended to condense a magic core, but failed; these elements were too pure, lacking a core to condense.
After the mucus falls into the water, it is swarmed by many fish. Some absorb too much and even sprout new shoots on their bodies.
"Oh my god, there are some things you really can't just eat!" If I really turned into a green fur ball, I'd be devastated.
"Now you know what fear is, huh?"
The river in the forest was frequented by many crocodiles, but seeing the size and imposing presence of the Black Tortoise, they had no desire to attack.
It's worth mentioning that Xuanwu's movement speed in water is indeed several times faster.
On the other side, the group that left first rode their flying mounts and quickly rushed out of the desert, finding a stretch of barren mountains and dense forests.
"Should we split up or go together?"
"Search separately, focusing on any traces of the ruins. Once we find them, we'll regroup; there are still too many monsters down there."
Soon, the group each chose a direction and left.
Compared to those hidden magical treasures, searching for ruins is much easier. You can make a fortune just by unearthing some ancient magic.
Moreover, ruins are often accompanied by treasures.
The young man who chose to explore the edge of the dense forest unfortunately provoked Luo Fan and his group, becoming the first victim.
Luo Fan and his group continued forward. After an unknown amount of time, their view, which had been obscured by trees, gradually cleared, and a vast lake came into view.
The lake was calm, except for the ripples created by some fish.
At a glance, you can't see the boundary of the lake at all.
"Shall we walk along the shore, or take a stroll in the lake?" Daisy seemed to really enjoy the surroundings.
Even Xiaoxue was staring longingly at Luo Fan.
"Let's rest on the shore for a bit. We've been here for almost two days," Toria suggested, as the girls were all a little tired.
“Yes, I agree.” Ellie looked in Luo Fan’s direction. They’d already gained quite a bit this time.
"I have no objection~. I'll take the three idiots for a walk around the neighborhood later, you don't need to worry about me!"
After the intense battles, his spiritual sense also needs to recuperate. He might as well take some time to raise the level of the Three Idiots.
Anyway, with Xuanwu here, the girl's safety is guaranteed.
Once the three idiots advance to level 51, their speed should be even faster, and they can still contribute some usefulness when encountering danger later.
He took out three bottles of freshly soaked magic milk and placed them in front of them. Only after Luo Fan gave the order did these impatient creatures swallow the magic milk and find a place to digest the dense surge of magic energy.
Before long, the three lions broke through one after another and advanced to level 51.
Luo Fan stood nearby, idly absorbing dark magic cores. Once their auras had completely stabilized, he led them on a wild run along the lakeside.
With the addition of wind-elemental magic, this thing reached a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour, faster than the high-speed trains of my previous life.
It can't maintain that speed for very long; the stable speed is only around 300 kilometers per hour, which is barely enough, considering that this thing can also drive itself.
After all that trouble, Luo Fan finally led them back to camp, where the three lions were now much more obedient.
"You've advanced to the next level? How much magic milk do you have left?" Toria asked curiously.
The girls had just given him a thorough wash, and a faint fragrance wafted from the air, which made Luo Fan feel much more refreshed.
"Not much, really not much. Fortunately, these three guys are quite capable; they advanced without much effort. They went for a run just now, and they're really impressive!"
(?ˉ?ˉ?)
"Oh, I'll give it a try when I have time. Speaking of which, we couldn't take these three with us when we left the secret realm!"
"It's alright, I'll figure something out." Luo Fan had no intention of abandoning such an obedient magical beast; he could simply freeze it and then take it out.
With their vitality and the Wood Spirit Liquid, there shouldn't be any major problems.
"Whatever you want. We just discussed it and decided to rest for another 5 hours before setting off."
"No problem, I'll take a rest too. Ugh, my head hurts! Wake me up when it's time!" With that, she jumped into Toria's arms, found a comfortable spot, and remained still.
"Bastard!" After hesitating for a moment, she ultimately decided not to kick him out.
"What's wrong with Luo Fan?" Daisy asked as she walked over, munching on snacks. Xiao Xue, along with Shui Huo and Tu Baozi, were playing in the water nearby.
"It's nothing, she's probably just tired," Toria said.
The three idiots, under Luo Fan's command, were already guarding the area. Xuanwu, meanwhile, stayed by the water, slowly recovering his magic power.
"Tired my ass, I just want your body, sister!" Ellie said irritably, starting a fire and preparing food.
"Hehe~, Luo Fan is so funny, it's okay to hug him for a while. If he really transforms into human form in the future, as long as he's not too ugly, I'd be willing to marry him." Daisy joked very casually.
If Luo Fan were awake right now, he would probably jump up and down.
"Hehe, he's already been treating you like a concubine."
"Really? My lady, he still wants to be emperor?" Daisy was puzzled but impressed.
"No, it's King Slime." Ellie pouted and revealed Luo Fan's little secret.
Daisy burst into laughter, and even Toria joined in. This slime was just too funny.
After chatting about some interesting things and eating some pastries, the girls gradually entered a meditative state.
With such a high-quality cultivation environment, there's no need to waste time.
Luo Xiu did not join the main group but instead went directly into the mountains and forests.
The forest area is indeed too dangerous; a team that teleported there before was eliminated after only a short time. He could only explore the outer areas, but that wasn't his target.
Using the Shadow Leopard's agility and speed, he could easily evade attacks from mid-level magical beasts and search for possible ruins and treasures along the rolling mountain peaks.
My family told me that this secret realm is still growing; over the past few hundred years, the content of magic energy within it has not decreased at all.
Memorizing the terrain and shadows of the mountains and forests, Luo Xiu swiftly traversed the area, searching for his own opportunity.
Cooperation? Only the weak would choose to cooperate, especially since the time for exploration is quite limited, and he also has his own secret weapon.
