Chapter 65: Wood Spirit Girl
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
[Wood Spirit]: A special aura from creatures in the Wood Secret Realm. When used, it can increase your health points by 1. It is said that if you find the elder of the Wood Secret Realm, you can exchange the Wood Spirits for something.
Looking at the introduction of the Wood Spirit in his hand, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly. “The elder of the Secret Realm, huh? Seems like another instance for grinding monsters.”
As he spoke, Mo Xiao rubbed the Wood Spirit in his hand a bit, but nothing changed. Apparently, this thing was just a form of currency.
“However, aren’t wood spirits usually peaceful creatures? Why would they let us hunt the monsters in the Secret Realm? Is there any other way to obtain these wood spirits?” Jiang He asked with some confusion.
Mo Xiao shrugged in response. “I don’t know. Right now, we are the target of everyone in the Wood Secret Realm. I’m afraid we won’t be able to find any other means.”
Thinking of this, Mo Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
While others might not have any other means, Mo Xiao did. His ‘Quick Fingers’ technique allowed him to even steal from wild beasts.
The fruit forest was vast, but there seemed to be no other creatures besides these cute leaf spirits.
Although the experience gained was meager, each of them dropped at least two spirit fruits, which made Mo Xiao quite happy.
Just as Mo Xiao and Jiang He were exploring the fruit forest, a scream suddenly resounded in the distance.
Hearing the scream, Mo Xiao frowned slightly, and Jiang He was about to rush over, but as if she had thought of something, she forcibly stopped herself and looked at Mo Xiao with an inquiring gaze.
“Let’s go, let’s see what’s happening.”
Seeing Jiang He’s expression, Mo Xiao didn’t say much and directly headed toward the source of the scream.
Upon arriving, they found a giant flower wildly waving its vines.
On one of the vines, a girl was tied up and unable to move, only able to emit shrill screams.
“What a huge flower! What is this thing?”
Looking at the huge flower with its gaping mouth, Jiang He’s face was full of horror. This was clearly a man-eating flower!
Mo Xiao remained composed and used his Detection skill.

Nature’s Fury: Summons the power of nature, causing earthquakes, storms, lightning, and other disasters, dealing massive elemental damage to all targets within range and inflicting silence, paralysis, and other effects.
Introduction: It is a guardian plant that grows deep in the forest, possessing powerful vitality and attack capabilities. It usually hides in the depths of the woods, ambushing passing enemies, born to guard the Wood Secret Realm.
It was said that other than the original famous Wood Mystic Realm, only those who truly understood the beauty of nature and respected it could live peacefully with it. Otherwise, they would suffer its fierce counterattack.
Recently, it seemed to have been affected by something that had changed its temperament, making it unable to distinguish friend from foe.
“Elite-level boss? Plants aren’t difficult,” Mo Xiao said as he pulled out the Four Symbols Heavy Sword on his back.
“Mo Xiao… why don’t we save her?” Jiang He looked at Mo Xiao, who had drawn his sword and was preparing to fight, and cautiously suggested.
Hearing this, Mo Xiao glanced at the girl tied to the vine and nodded lightly.
Without waiting for Jiang He to speak, the flying longbow appeared in Mo Xiao’s other hand. Then, to Jiang He’s surprise, he used the hand holding the Four Symbols Heavy Sword to draw the longbow and start shooting.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
With a cracking sound, the vines of the Wood Demon Flower King instantly broke, causing the girl to fall from the sky.
Mo Xiao quickly activated Shadowless and rushed up, catching the girl in mid-air.
[You rubbed against the Wood Spirit Girl, and the talent ‘Wood Spirit Heart’ has been copied!]
[Wood Spirit Heart: Originating from the spirit of the wood, as long as you are in a place with trees, your health points will recover 100 points per second! Moreover, all creatures in the Wood Secret Realm will treat you friendly! J
“A talent that restores health points? Seems pretty good,” Mo Xiao muttered to himself. He placed the girl next to Jiang He and said, “I’ll leave her to you. I’ll take care of this boss.”
“Alright, be careful,” Jiang He nodded and quickly helped the girl who was lying on the ground.
“Even if it’s a demon king, it’s just a flower. Killing you is too easy.” Mo Xiao looked at the enraged Wooden Flower King before slowly raising the Four Elephants Heavy Sword in his hand, and he shouted, “Soul Extinguishing Black Flame!”
As Mo Xiao uttered a low shout, a pitch-black flame erupted and crazily burned on the Wood Demon Flower King’s body.
In just a few breaths, the flames spread all over its body.
Countless high damage numbers kept popping up above the Wood Demon Flower King’s head.
The next moment, a miserable and piercing scream was heard, and the Wooden Flower King turned into ashes and disappeared.
[You have killed the Wooden Flower King and gained 30,000 experience points!]
[You obtained the Wood Demon Flower King’s Core*i]
[You have obtained the Wood Demon Flower King’s Seed *1]
[You obtained Wood Spirit *100]
[You obtained a Secret Realm Treasure Chest *1]
“A seed? Core? Could this be some kind of pet?” Mo Xiao mumbled as he looked at the items he obtained in his backpack.
Just then, a melodious yet surprised voice suddenly sounded behind Mo Xiao, “How could you kill it? It’s the guardian deity of our Wood Spirit clan!”
Hearing this voice, Mo Xiao turned around and saw the girl looking at Mo Xiao in disbelief.
Despite her words, Mo Xiao remained calm and said casually, “I killed it to save you. If you think it’s wrong, 1 could kill you too.”
Jiang He wanted to interject, but the girl quickly shook her head and said, “That’s not what I meant. I just think you’re really strong! The Wood Demon Flower King is an incredibly powerful guardian deity for us. Apart from a few elders, no one has ever been able to defeat it. As an outsider, you’re really powerful!”
“How do you know I’m an outsider?” Mo Xiao asked curiously.
“Because of your aura. The aura you have is different from ours, the Wood Spirit clan.”
“But…” The Wood Spirit girl paused and continued, “At first, I wanted to fight you when 1 saw you.. Why did I suddenly change my mind? It’s really strange…”
