But Randy hadn't been able to demonstrate it even once. Was it because he was too young? Abier couldn't figure it out and said, "Let's wait until Randy is an adult and see." The matter of the skill was left unresolved.
Randy answered truthfully, "I have no special skills. After the Five-Star Ring, I have no sense of anything."
Arthur: "Impossible. Close your eyes and feel it. Focus your energy on your chest."
"good"
Following Arthur's guidance, Randy explored the power within his body, and gradually, his eyes lit up.
He sensed a golden, iridescent light flowing within him, seemingly about to break free of his control and surge forth. Randy closed his eyes tightly, continuously urging it on, and then… it vanished. Nothing more.
Arthur: "Didn't you notice anything unusual about your body?"
Randy carefully examined the body and shook his head: "Nothing."
Carlos chimed in, "Perhaps it's his ability—the skill nullification."
Skills are all kinds of strange and wonderful, nothing is surprising, Arthur said.
"He wasn't affected by Ian. If the Tree Spirits break in, remember to take Xiaoxiao and escape first."
Randy: "I understand."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "That's great, Randy. At least you weren't influenced by Ian."
Randy: "Yes, I'll explore the power within me more further and strive to awaken it as soon as possible."
Cang Jue: "I'm so envious, you can even transform into a beast." Then: "Randy, why don't you try lifting the restrictions for us?"
Randy: "The light within me has vanished; I can't help you anymore."
Upon hearing this, Cang Jue collapsed onto the bed in dejection. "I'm so listless."
Guo Xiaoxiao: "Let's go to sleep first, we'll study it tomorrow."
…
Meanwhile, Lin Zhi and Ji Xing wandered in the forest for a long time. The system told her that the path was difficult, but the safest, with no moving pursuers.
She rode on Will's back, traversing one mountain peak after another.
The Noah tribe no longer existed; before they left, they doused the trees with gasoline and burned them all.
The tree won't turn to ashes in a short time; it can even become a fiery tree that chases after people, but Linzhi doesn't care.
If we don't do this, and the attacks continue unabated, we really can't withstand it. It's better to burn them down to reduce the number of trees.
But Linzhi's wishful thinking backfired. One tree fell, and more grew, an endless cycle. The entire wilderness was practically covered by forests—was he going to burn down the entire Northern Hemisphere?
They are now heading to the Eastern Continent to reunite with Guo Xiaoxiao. The system said that Guo Xiaoxiao has skills that can help her withstand the current situation where she and Qianye are stuck in the White Stone Tribe.
Since she's here, they'll have to go find her.
A familiar face, Mikel, Mikeson's brother, handed Linzhi some water.
"Xiao Zhi, water"
Linzhi accepted it and said, "Thank you."
Mikel and Linzhi came to live in the Northern Hemisphere together and have already broken through to become four-star ring beastmen.
This made Yunying very dissatisfied.
The fact that they immediately upgraded my star level was clearly because they were after him. It's also my own fault for not being ambitious enough to break through and just getting stuck at the three-star ring.
Sigh... when are we going to upgrade to four stars?
Most importantly, Qianye, who arrived first, hadn't even managed to mate with Linzhi yet, but Mikel beat him to the punch and became Linzhi's male. As for what exactly happened between them, that's a story for another time.
Each new male will be ostracized by the older males for a period of time; it takes time for them to adjust and be accepted.
Lin Zhi is a good parent; they understand her temperament. She dislikes arguments and hates dealing with family conflicts.
If you dare to argue, just kick them out. So even if you're unhappy, you've never really argued while you're together. If you're occasionally dissatisfied, you just let it go.
Ji Xing: "Xiao Zhi, are you tired? Let's rest for a bit."
Linzhi sat on Will's lap, sleeping whenever she wanted without feeling tired, while they...
"I'm not tired. Let's find a safe place to rest for a while. Everyone must be exhausted."
They had been fleeing for their lives for a day and a night, and the orcs and females who had followed Noah's tribe were exhausted.
The males can endure it, but the females, having never experienced such a long journey, can't take it and complain endlessly.
Even the male orcs couldn't force one of them to stay put for a while.
Lin Zhi looked into the distance, hoping that if he hurried, he could reach the eastern mainland within six days.
…
Guo Xiaoxiao was about to drink water from the stone bowl when it began to tremble in her hand. The earth was shaking; it was happening… She put down the bowl and looked out of the tent.
"The tree spirit is here, be on guard!"
"Everyone, come out quickly and settle the female down."
They quickly packed their things and left the tent, preparing for battle. Ian and the others were already fighting the tree spirits; he hadn't transformed into his beast form and was wielding a club.
Ian dodged its branches, leaped into the air, and stood on its massive body, his blows causing no damage whatsoever.
The tree spirit lashed out at Ian, who tried to block with his club, but was still sent flying several meters away.
Mikel, Randy, and Cang Jue have all arrived. Carlos wanted to stay by Guo Xiaoxiao's side to protect her, but Guo Xiaoxiao refused, saying there was no danger in the rear and they should hurry to help.
The improved water supply has been distributed.
Guo Xiaoxiao couldn't help, and rushing over would only cause more trouble. She paced around inside the tent, listening to the resounding booms and shouts outside.
The system beeped
[System: "One of the skills I've given you can deal with trees."]
Guo Xiaoxiao: "What skill?"
[System: Remember, it doesn't require any resources, right? It's a skill that can drive you crazy.]
Guo Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
This skill is basically useless. The most it does is Lionheart and ability boost; it doesn't require any resources, so it's like being injected with adrenaline, making you feel invigorated, but also mentally confused, like a madman.
Once, in Carlos's cave, he was using a rocket launcher to bombard people. In his panic, he used several skills in quick succession, which was quite a blunder, and the fairy's random words...
[System: "This isn't for you to use; you can give it to the Tree Spirit."]
Guo Xiaoxiao: "It means to drive them crazy."
[System: Pretty much. It doesn't require any resources to sever control. The tree has developed self-awareness; it's just being manipulated and used. Simply break the link.]
"I understand," Guo Xiaoxiao decided to give it a try, thinking it was a last resort. She ran out of the tent, only to find the outside world in complete chaos.
The injured orcs were substituted, drank healing potions, and then charged back up.
Tireless, willing to give their lives for the tribe
Ian stood at the very front, with Arthur and the others forming the main force beside him.
The tree spirit kept waving its branches to block their approach. Ian fought with it for several minutes before finally finding an opportunity to break the branch with a single blow, snapping it in two.
The tree spirit roared in fury, launching an even more ferocious attack. Many breaches were breached in the sacrificial wood, allowing the tree spirit to seize the opportunity and wreak havoc on the tribe.
It's unbreakable, invincible, and can't be burned—it's practically invincible!
Even Arthur couldn't figure out a solution to this thing, and Qianye chimed in from the side.
"The only thing we can do is reinforce the defenses to prevent them from entering the tribe; defeating them is simply impossible."
Arthur: "How did you manage to defend the tribe?"
Qianye: "The hemp rope given by Linzhi tripped them up and bought them time. From observation, they can't keep attacking; they usually leave after a while and we'll come back later."
