At present, Jiao Li doesn't care much about the life and death of the beastmen on the beastman continent.
Most importantly, we need to find a way to obtain the Tree of Life from the Wood Spirits.
The main reason he launched the war between the demonic insects and the orcs was to deplete the orcs' fighting strength so that they would not cause trouble when he attacked Wood Spirit Valley.
Secondly, it was purely due to his destructive urges; he simply wanted to watch the beastmen fight the insect beasts to the death.
Previously, when Jiao Li and Murong Yu were fighting, the Golden Lotus, while purifying the demonic energy, also sent out a small wisp of golden light to monitor the situation on Jiao Li's side.
As Jiao Li fled, this small wisp of golden light followed behind him.
After purifying the demonic energy in the valley, Jinlian did not return to Mu Qing's side, but instead transformed into a stream of light and chased after Jiao Li.
A moment later, they arrived behind Jiao Li.
The golden lotus merged with the wisp of golden light that had been separated earlier, dimming its radiance and falling far behind Jiao Li. Jiao Li, enraged, did not notice the golden lotus following behind him.
Led by Jiao Li, the Locust Beast King and his Locust Beasts finally arrived at Wood Spirit Valley after a day's journey.
At this moment, Mu Qing, relying on his connection with the Golden Lotus, also caught up with her and arrived at the Chishui River.
As soon as they arrived at the Chishui River, a butterfly with a green glow flew up in front of Mu Qing.
Mu Qing reached out his hand, and a butterfly landed on it. A solemn voice rang out: "Mu Ling Valley is in trouble. All clansmen, return to the clan immediately to provide support."
Jiao Xiang: "Mu Qing, since the Wood Spirit Clan is in trouble, let's go there first."
"We'll go find Jiao Li after we've resolved the troubles in your clan."
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
The messenger butterfly flapped its wings and flew ahead to lead the way.
Mu Qing and his group quickened their pace, following behind Lingxin Butterfly.
It took the group half a day to reach Green Pine Ridge near Wood Spirit Valley.
Qingsong Ridge is a mountain range with overlapping peaks, which stand side by side in an oval shape, surrounding the entire Muling Valley at the center of Qingsong Ridge.
The young master of the Wood Spirit Clan, Mu Gu, left the valley seeking support from the Beastmen. Just as he stepped out of Green Pine Ridge, he encountered Mu Qing and his group, who were following the Spirit Letter Butterfly to provide assistance.
Upon seeing Mu Qing, Mu Gu exclaimed excitedly, "You're back! Were they the orcs you brought back to help?"
Mu Qing glanced at the anxious-looking but pure-looking young man in front of him, knowing that the other party had mistaken him for a member of the Wood Spirit Clan. He did not refute it, but comforted him, "Don't worry, they are all here to help."
The Wood Spirits are engaged in a difficult battle against the locust monsters.
The locust monsters have a natural bloodline suppression effect on the Wood Spirit race.
The Wood Spirit Clan was attacked and suffered repeated defeats.
Upon seeing this, Jinlian flew out from behind Jiao Li, hovering high in the air, radiating dazzling golden light.
With the suppression of the golden light, the attack power of the locust monsters was greatly weakened.
However, the Wood Spirits were still no match for the Locust Beasts, especially the Locust Beast King, whose destructive power remained immense.
Many Wood Spirits were severely injured and transformed into their original forms of spirit wood, with layers upon layers of trees and vines protecting the Tree of Life at the center of Wood Spirit Valley.
The Thorn Clan of the Wood Spirits protected their severely injured members, who had transformed into their original forms to guard the Tree of Life, on the inner side. At the cost of burning their life force, they transformed into giant thorn vines to defend the outermost perimeter.
Mu Qing sensed the anxious message from Jinlian and led Murong Yu and his group there as quickly as possible.
When Mu Qing and his group arrived, it was already evening. As soon as they reached the Wood Spirit Valley, they witnessed the tragic scene of the Wood Spirit Clan fighting desperately to resist.
The Wood Mushroom saw its tribesmen being devoured and scratched by a swarm of locust monsters, while the Thorn Tribe members on the outermost edge were scattered with broken branches and twigs.
The entire clan was devastated that no one could maintain human form.
Mugu was both angry and anxious, and rushed forward recklessly, but was stopped by Mu Qing.
Mu Qing: "You can contribute more by staying in the rear to provide support."
Upon hearing this, Mugu suppressed her grief, calmed herself down, and nodded.
