[Beep. The Scarlet Demon Vine has escaped.]
Just as Mo Xiao was about to check the loot dropped by this big boss, the system prompt sounded at the right moment.
“Escaped?! Didn’t 1 kill this guy?!”
Seeing this message, Mo Xiao’s previously relaxed expression became furrowed once again.
[Before the Scarlet Demon Vine left, it activated its hidden skill, Rebirth.]

Listening to the system’s message, Mo Xiao’s expression turned even more grim.
For Mo Xiao, he didn’t care at all about the Scarlet Demon Vine running away and its impact on this secret realm at all!
The reason why he was so unhappy was purely because the experience and equipment he was about to obtain were gone, just like that!
This was a platinum-level boss, after all!!
Maybe he could have obtained some rare red-level skills or something!
But now it was all gone, and anyone in his place would be unhappy.
“Mo Xiao? What’s wrong? 1 don’t see any message about the boss being killed on my system panel…”
“I know.” Mo Xiao slowly sheathed the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back. “If he ran away, so be it. There’s nothing 1 can do about it.”
“But…” Jiang He was about to say something but met Mo Xiao’s cold gaze, causing her to swallow her words.
Mo Xiao stared coldly at Jiang He. “I know what you’re thinking, but let me say it again: this is a survival of the fittest world. Bringing you along was already giving face to Jiang Shan. 1 don’t have time to help others.
“But the demonization here is very likely caused by the Scarlet Demon Vine. If we find and kill it, not only will we gain experience, but we might also help resolve the issues in the Wood Secret Realm, isn’t that good?” Jiang He bit her lip and decided to voice her thoughts.
Jiang He bit her lip and said what was on her mind.
“If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I’m here to level up. Unless the Wood Secret Realm gives me a quest, I won’t do anything extra,” Mo Xiao said.

“You’re the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and you have a deep family background. You’re not afraid of anything, but I’m not like you. This is your last warning. If you do it again, you can go back by yourself!”
With that, Mo Xiao turned around and walked directly to the incomplete corpse of the Scarlet Demon Vine.
As the Scarlet Demon Vine had fled, this huge body had already returned to its original dark green color.
Although it had completely lost its vitality, it could be seen that it was the corpse of the Wood Demon Flower.
[You obtained Demonized Wood Demon Flower Seeds *30]
[You obtained Wood Spirits *30]
[You obtained Evil Energy Condensation Block *1]
“Is this really a creature produced by the gathering of the Wood Demon Flowers?” Mo Xiao put away the dropped items and looked at the progress bar of the mission. With so many seeds, it was obvious that he had already exceeded the requirements of the mission.
“Evil energy condensation… What exactly is this evil energy? Why is it everywhere?” Although Mo Xiao said that he wouldn’t care about this kind of thing, he was still a little worried.
Because, based on the situation with the Scarlet Demon Vine, it clearly knew that it had entered the trial area.
And according to what it said, the Dragonite Jade he obtained might be a hot potato that would attract the coveting of this evil force.
After much contemplation, Mo Xiao shook his head lightly and said, “Let’s go. The mission is completed. Let’s go find Tao Yaoyao.”
Jiang He, who was in a daze, nodded slightly and quietly followed behind Mo Xiao.
It seemed that because of the previous changes, the Scarlet Demon Vine had captured all the monsters in the surroundings.
And the two of them didn’t encounter a single monster on their way back.
Following the route Tao Yaoyao had mentioned earlier, they quickly arrived at a peaceful forest.
On each tree in this forest, there was an exquisite treehouse.
It was as if they had entered the dwelling of elves in a Western fantasy story.
[You have arrived at a new map, Wood Spirit Village.]
[Due to your Wood Spirit Heart talent, the Wood Spirit tribe’s goodwill towards you has reached a friendly level.]
As for the debuff that Mo Xiao had on him before, the resentment of the Wood tribe seemed to be completely lifted under the effect of Little Gray’s heavenly light.
“Is this the village of the wood spirits?” Mo Xiao looked at the village in front of him and sighed in surprise. “It’s really like a game…”
Just as Mo Xiao was marveling at the sight, two giant trees at the entrance suddenly trembled and two massive tree trunks instantly blocked their path.
“What is this!”
Seeing this movement, Mo Xiao instinctively drew the Four Symbols Heavy Sword.
And at the same time, he used Detection on the creature before him.

Introduction: The Forest Behemoth is a powerful Wood Spirit creature with a strong and sturdy body, capable of freely moving through the forest. As the guardian of the Wood Spirit tribe, it holds a respected position within the forest.
“The guardian of the Wood Spirit tribe?”
Just as Mo Xiao was about to make a move, his action paused upon seeing the introduction.
At this moment, a voice rang out.
“Guardian! Don’t attack! They’re my friends!”
It was Tao Yaoyao. In a short while, she appeared in front of the Forest Behemoth and explained in a flurry.
After seeing Tao Yaoyao, the Forest Behemoth glanced at her and then returned to its original position, reverting to the appearance of a giant tree, making even Detection unable to sense it.
“Phew, luckily I ran fast. These two are the guardians of our Wood Spirit Village. Despite their low attributes and level, they are formidable existences.” Tao Yaoyao proudly introduced.
Mo Xiao nodded lightly, “I can see that.”
“Why did you come here so quickly? Have you collected everything?” Tao Yaoyao asked doubtfully.
“Yes, all the Wood Demon Flowers over there have been demonized. These are the seeds we obtained.” Mo Xiao said, handing all the Wood Demon Flower seeds he had to Tao Yaoyao.
Looking at the seeds in her hand, Tao Yaoyao’s expression instantly turned solemn. “Is it that serious? Thank you for your help. We still need to study this matter a bit more. Before that, my grandfather wants to meet you.”
