"Is this the reason why the Eternal Aucuba Tree is still alive after Lin Jianguo perished?"

When Ye Xuan saw the Eternal Aucuba Tree's attributes, he was immediately enlightened. He finally learned why the Eternal Aucuba Tree was able to survive until this very moment. Commonly speaking, after the death of a Beast Tamer, all their beasts would wither.

The reason why the Eternal Aucuba Tree did not die was evidently because of the fact that Lin Jianguo was not really dead. His soul was still attached to its body.

"I wonder if Lin Shiru knows about this?"

All of a sudden, Ye Xuan got a wisp of inspiration. But immediately after, he erased the thought from his heart. Whether if Lin Shiru knew about this or not, it was not important. Because even if Lin Shiru learned about it, she could do nothing else but be anxious.

Now, Lin Jianguo could only rely on the Eternal Aucuba Tree's uniqueness to slowly restore his own soul. The Eternal Aucuba Tree itself had to be very aware of this. Even Lin Shiru was oblivious, it would imply that the Eternal Aucuba Tree does not want others to learn about this.

Since that was the case, it would not be great if he revealed it.

...

"This feels so good."

Amidst the dense Aura of Eternity, at the very moment Lil Wan flew into it, she felt her entire body immersed in unprecedented comfort. The pores all over her body seemed to open up. The fog at present was being absorbed into her body at full force, making her feel warm all over.

"Goldy, follow me, let's head deeper. I think the fog over there will be thicker."

She called the Wild Gold Treant and accelerated towards the depths of the fog. The Wild Gold Treant remained silent. It only followed Lil Wan behind as it absorbed the fog around it in the meanwhile.

For the treants, most elves were their friends. Hence, when Ye Han ordered him to protect Lil Wan, it does not have any complaints at all. Besides, the Aura of Nature exuded from Lil Wan too, made it feel very comfortable.

It felt that Lil Wan was literally an Elf Goddess that represented sweetness and beauty itself.

Psss!

Dozens of meters away from them, when a grey little snake, whose colors blended with the ground, saw Lil Wan and the Wild Gold Treant heading towards the depths of the fog. It twisted its body and grew from the length of a chopstick into a ginormous, vicious, and venomous snake more than ten meters long in the blink of an eye.

After it became larger, one could notice that its entire body was covered in grey blotches the size of a bowl. Should those with Trypophobia see this, they would definitely be terror-stricken. This snake was the Deadwood Withered Snake that was around Liu Hongtong's arm earlier on.

After the Deadwood Withered Snake enlarged, it twisted its body and start following Lil Wan and the Wild Gold Treant from behind. Liu Hongtong was dextrous mentally. Knowing that Lin Shiru attached so much importance to Ye Xuan, he would maybe acquire some benefits that others do not this time as their beasts' venture into the Aura of Eternity.

Hence, when his Deadwood Withered Snake got into the Aura of Eternity, he gave him an order.

He ordered for his Deadwood Withered Snake to follow the Wild Gold Treant and Ye Xuan's beast from behind upon entering the Aura of Eternity. Though he dared not to provoke Ye Xuan. He did not mind the possibility of scavenging some benefits.

"That evil snake!"

Levitating in mid-air, Lil Wan discovered the Deadwood Withered Snake when it enlarged and started following her. However, the Deadwood Withered Snake was a Bronze level beast. Besides, it excelled in speed. Not to mention herself, even the Wild Gold Treant may not be able to shake it off when it came to speed.

Having no other choice, Lil Wan could only pout her tiny lips and let the Deadwood Withered Snake follow her from behind. Previously, when Ye Han told Ye Xuan about Liu Hongtong, she also heard it very clearly.

As she once again saw Liu Hongtong's creepy snake following her from behind out of malicious intent at this moment, her impression towards Liu Hongtong and his Deadwood Withered Snake arrived at negative 10,000 in reputation level.

Swoosh!

However, just as Lil Wan had that thought in mind, amid the dense Aura of Eternity, a drop of verdant liquid abruptly plummeted from high above and fell onto her body the size of a thumb.

"Ah!"

Lil Wan was taken aback. Before she could react, her entire body was soaked. As she gasped in suprise, this drop of liquid was absorbed into her body in an incredible way.

"Umph~"

Lil Wan cried out once more. On her pinkish little face, an unnatural blush emerged in the blink of an eye. At the same time, she felt that her body was stuffy. It felt like the moments when she had a craving and ate few lollipops behind Ye Xuan's back. But when this feeling emerged, she discovered that the sensation of hindered growth that she experienced in the past had suddenly disappeared.

The power within her body and her Mind Energy grew swiftly at speeds invisible to the naked eye when that drop of verdant liquid was absorbed into her body.

"Am I about to level up?"

Realization emerged in Lil Wan's heart. However, at the moment the realization was born, she suddenly discovered an extraordinary aura much denser and higher in grade than the Aura of Eternity exuding from her entire body.

Feeling this aura, the Wild Gold Treant, who had always remained silent beside her, had a tinge of excitement vaguely cropping up on its masculine face with defined muscle definition as it quickly accelerated its absorption over this aura.

Psss!

At the same time, the Deadwood Withered Snake not far away also felt this abnormal wisp of energy. Spitting its forked tongue and twisting its body, it arrived before Lil Wan and the Wild Gold Treant.

Likewise, it began absorbing the aura.

Anger arose on the Wild Gold Treant's complexion. But although it was above the Deadwood Withered Snake in terms of power level, it dared not to attack it over here. Above the Wild Gold Treant, Lil Wan saw the approaching Deadwood Withered Snake and blinked her eyes.

"Goldy, follow me!"

Subsequently, she prompted her mind and meagerly descended in altitude.

Taking the Wild Gold Treant, they flew in deeper.

Seeing this, the Deadwood Withered Snake immediately tagged along without even the slightest hesitation. The intelligence of beasts was different.

Beasts like the Wild Gold Treant and the Deadwood Withered Snake were not high in intelligence. However, towards the orders of their own master, they would mostly enforce them strictly.

Besides, all lifeforms had the instinct to pursue benefits. Naturally, the Deadwood Withered Snake could not let loose of Lil Wan, who was exuding such an alluring aura, from its sight. Suddenly, the Deadwood Withered who was behind Lil Wan discovered that Lil Wan had been constantly altering her direction during her flight. She would go up and down, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and her velocity was not constant.

This had it very bewildered. It had no clue about what Lil Wan was doing. But for something which it could not think through, it would not bother to think about it. It only followed Lil Wan from behind and maneuvered through everything that Lil Wan left behind, gobbling up the high-grade Aura of Eternity excreted from Lil Wan's body.

When Lil Wan slowed down, it would slow down.

When Lil Wan accelerated, it would accelerate.

When Lil Wan made a turn, it would make a turn.

Even when Lil Wan was flying upwards, it would raise the front section of its body and follow behind Lil Wan to capture the high-grade Aura of Eternity that was like the white trail behind a jet. This high-grade Aura of Eternity literally had it infatuated. It very much wished that it could follow behind Lil Wan forever.

It even wondered about what would happen if it swallowed Lil Wan in one bite?

"Hm?"

When it was thinking about that, it suddenly occurred to him that Lil Wan before it had left a meandering trail in the air during her flight. Under the display of the high-grade Aura of Eternity, this trail outlined an extremely complex pattern in the air. The Deadwood Withered Snake could not understand this pattern. It only knew that it should hasten up so that the aura would not dissipate.

Hence, it started slithering around, raising the upper part of its body up high and chasing along the trail, this weird pattern in the air.

Thud!

However, when the Deadwood Withered Snake cleared up the entire pattern and devoured all the high-grade Aura of Eternity into its belly, and after the upper half of its body fell from the air. It suddenly discovered that its body was tied into a knot during the series of movements earlier on.

What's more, this knot was an encased not.

The more it struggled, the tighter it felt. Coupled with the fact that was bowl-sized lumps all over its body, it further intensified the difficulty to undo this knot. It attempted to shrink its body, but at the very instant it was doing so, in an unknown way of conduct out of nervousness, it made the knot even tighter.

"Big bad snake, suck on your stupidity!"

Lil Wan landed on the Wild Gold Treant's shoulders and chuckled as she looked at the confused Deadwood Withered Snake.

So what if it was a Bronze level beast? It was still stupid.

Most certainly, she who had the Deadwood Withered Snake fooled was not bold enough to approach it. She could only rely on the Wild Gold Treant to secure her life, least the Deadwood Withered Snake angry and spit venom at her.

In terms of true power level, a Bronze level beast would probably reap away her life in a split second. The Wild Gold Treant who was standing beneath Lil Wan moved it mouth as it looked at the struggling Deadwood Withered Snake from afar.

It felt that it had to take back what he said just now.

If it were to cut the heart of this Elf Goddess that in it eyes, represent sweetness and beauty itself, it may perhaps be black in color.
