Have You Ever Experienced Crashing into a Tree?

Inside a cave somewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest, cold wind whistled.

The air was thick with dampness and the stench of blood, with faint roars echoing in the distance.

At that moment, within the dim cave,

Li Xuan lay motionless in a pool of blood, his entire body covered in gore, his eyes closed. Two brawny black bear spirit beasts surrounded him, gnawing on his arms.

These two black bear spirit beasts were huge and powerfully built, their black fur glossy and tough, their bodies radiating a savage aura.

They had sharp fangs and gaping maws, and their heavy bear paws were tipped with sharp claws.

As powerful bear-type spirit beasts, they were the overlords of this small area in the outer forest.

If they wished, they could easily smash apart great trees and intimidate everything around them.

Yet at this moment,

These two tank-like black bears were continuously gnawing at Li Xuan with their icy fangs, viciously tearing at his fair arms.

If anyone saw this scene, they would surely lament the cruelty of spirit beasts and feel heartbroken for Li Xuan's plight.

Because

Li Xuan was still an innocent child.

He had fair skin, tender little arms, an adorable face, and captivating short silver hair.

Yet such an innocent child was being bitten by two cruel black bears. The bloody sight would have filled countless people with anger and regret.

However,

Judging by Li Xuan's miserable, blood-covered state, the two black bears had clearly been gnawing on him for quite some time. That seemed to prove something.

Another five minutes passed.

The two black bear spirit beasts finally stopped biting him.

Irritably, they raised their heavy paws and swatted the blood-covered Li Xuan aside.

Then they let out a furious roar and began devouring the little deer's corpse that Li Xuan had been lying on.

"Huh? Why did you stop biting? Hurry up and bite me!"

Li Xuan, who had been swatted aside, suddenly sat up. He padded back to the little deer's corpse, lay down again, and blocked the two black bears from eating.

Roar! Roar!

With their meal obstructed, the two black bears roared angrily, warning Li Xuan.

But Li Xuan ignored them and continued blocking the deer, preventing them from eating.

This enraged the black bears, and they began gnawing at Li Xuan's arms again. Their sharp teeth showed no mercy as they tore at him frantically.

Three minutes later,

The two black bears stopped again and glared at Li Xuan resentfully. No matter how they bit, they simply could not bite through him.

It felt as though they were biting tough dragon scales. Not only could they not inflict the slightest injury, but their teeth hurt from it.

Therefore,

The two black bears angrily shoved Li Xuan aside again, then turned back and resumed eating the little deer's corpse.

"Wait, I'm not satisfied with the test yet. Who said you could eat the deer?!"

Li Xuan came over again to block the two black bears from eating. Seeing that they ignored him, he raised a hand and fiercely punched both bears on the nose.

ROAR!!

Pain shot through the two black bears' noses, and they went completely berserk. Filled with endless killing intent, they roared furiously and once again tore into Li Xuan with bloodthirsty bites! Five minutes later,

The two powerful black bears clamped the little deer's corpse in their jaws and fled the cave at high speed, running toward the depths of the forest without looking back.

"Hey, don't run! I haven't finished testing my defense yet! Besides, this cave is your home. How can you just abandon your own home?!"

Li Xuan dashed out of the cave, covered in deer blood as he chased after them, intending to continue testing his defense.

When the two black bears saw Li Xuan pursuing them, they abruptly accelerated. They shot off like smoke and soon vanished into the dense forest.

"Hey, hey, hey! You two stinking bears are really no fun. You got scared just from biting my arms? You're an embarrassment to spirit beasts!"

Li Xuan was deeply dissatisfied. To test his defense, he had found many spirit beasts along the way to help him test it, but these guys were no fun at all. They had all run away.

And to test his defense, he had smeared himself with so much deer blood that he reeked of it. Was that easy for him? He had worked so hard, only for all these spirit beasts to run away. They were utterly disappointing—an embarrassment to spirit beasts.

"What Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts? You're just two stupid pigs. You couldn't even keep biting as long as that Eight-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast from before."

Li Xuan grumbled indignantly. To test his defense, he had started with Hundred-Year Spirit Beasts, then moved on to thousand-year, three-thousand-year, five-thousand-year, eight-thousand-year, and now Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts. Yet none of them could bite through him. They were all useless.

"Forget it. I'll continue testing another time. After using the Green Fatty Experience Card, my head feels stuffy and swollen. I'm a little sleepy. When those black bears were biting me earlier, I nearly fell asleep."

Li Xuan shook his head and continued walking. His fair little hand brushed over the beautiful plants and flowers in the forest as he gazed into the distance—and then he got lost.

Actually, Li Xuan wanted the Titan Giant Ape to take him out of the forest, but the system did not recommend doing so. The Titan Giant Ape was a powerful spirit beast and might suddenly attack or even imprison him. That would inevitably waste an Experience Card.

More importantly, Li Xuan planned to make the Titan Giant Ape and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, along with the other spirit beast, into his spirit rings someday. Killing them now would be too wasteful, so he decided to walk on his own. With Super Defense, he had confidence.

Unfortunately, he still got lost.

"Is there anyone out here? No, are there any beasts? Hurry up and come guide me. I won't let you bite me anymore, okay?"

Li Xuan had a headache. He wandered around a few more times and realized that he really was lost.

The trees in the forest were simply too dense. Trees over ten meters tall were everywhere, their luxuriant branches blocking both the sunlight and the sky, making it impossible to tell where he was.

So Li Xuan became depressed. He looked at a nearby tree, intending to climb to the top and see which direction the sun was in.

No sooner said than done. Li Xuan picked a slightly thinner tree and began climbing with all four limbs.

With his powerful defense, Li Xuan was not afraid of falling.

Although he had not been a climbing enthusiast in his previous life, who had not climbed trees as a child?

In his previous life, he had climbed orange trees and eaten oranges! Sure, orange trees were short, but that was a minor detail.

Li Xuan climbed the tree earnestly. Sure enough, relying on his childhood experience, he easily climbed five meters up—then fell down.

"Forget it, forget it. Climbing trees is uncivilized. What if I crush the flowers and grass?"

Li Xuan plucked a few flowers, played with them as he continued walking, and occasionally stepped on tender shoots and grass with his fair little feet.

Then he became dizzy from walking in circles.

"Hmph. I didn't avoid traveling in my previous life because I was directionally challenged and afraid of getting lost."

Li Xuan kept moving forward with his little face tense. After walking for about half an hour, he noticed that he was encountering more and more High-Level Spirit Beasts. Clearly, he was heading toward the central area.

Ding! Notice: In one hour, Bibi Dong will encounter Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu's Mother in the central area of the Star Dou Great Forest. Changing Xiao Wu's Mother's fate will allow the system to obtain substantial benefits, thereby triggering a new mission.

"Xiao Wu's Mother? In one hour?" Li Xuan looked in surprise at the suddenly appearing countdown and immediately understood that he would gain benefits again.

Whoosh! Suddenly, a spiderweb dropped fiercely from above, easily trapping him.

The web was extremely tough and highly adhesive, making it very difficult to break free. This was because it came from a powerful spirit beast: a Ten-Thousand-Year Cave Demon Spider.

Sss, sss, sss! The ugly Cave Demon Spider slowly emerged from a corner. Seeing Li Xuan unable to move, it approached him at an unhurried pace.

As a top-tier spider species, it might not be able to defeat a Man Faced Demon Spider in a direct confrontation, but its web was far tougher than a Man Faced Demon Spider's.

If it kept its distance, killing a Man Faced Demon Spider with its web would not be difficult.

So the Cave Demon Spider lightly made its way to Li Xuan, picked up the boy bound in its web, and sped into the distance.

It moved quickly. As it ran, it occasionally encountered High-Level Spirit Beasts, and the spirit beasts it encountered grew increasingly powerful. Clearly, it too was heading toward the central area.

After running for about fifty-five minutes, the trapped Li Xuan suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

"It's finally time to transform. Little spider, have you ever experienced crashing into a tree?"
