Lu Ye looked closely and saw that the phantom figure was enormous, several zhang tall. It had hands and feet, but both seemed to be formed from gnarled tree branches. A ring of emerald Saplings grew atop its head, brimming with vitality. Its trunk stood straight, and clear facial features appeared where its head should have been.
What race was this? Lu Ye was completely baffled. At first glance, it looked like a tree had gained sentience.
"Wood Spirit Race?" Yu Yaorao recognized its identity at once.
Lu Ye knew nothing about the Wood Spirit Race, but he had seen the Fire Spirit Race before!
Back then, beneath a volcano in the stretch between Cangyan Mountain Pass and Lone Mountain Pass, a group of Fire Spirits had been sealed away. He had accidentally broken the seal, causing a tremendous mess.
Perhaps realizing how little Lu Ye knew, Yu Yaorao sent him a voice transmission. "Among the stars, there are the Five Elements Spirit Race, corresponding respectively to Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. All are exceedingly rare races. Since a Wood Spirit has appeared here, this should be the Wood Spirit Tree Realm. The Wood Spirit Race is mild-tempered and generally lives a life untouched by worldly strife. However, every one of them is a born Medical Cultivator, proficient in all manner of healing methods. They are also immensely strong. It is said that a Wood Spirit's Core Crystal can bring back the dead, so they are easily targeted by certain powerful races."
Lu Ye nodded silently. Such a race possessed extraordinary abilities and carried a precious treasure within its body, yet did not seem particularly powerful. It was only natural that others would set their sights on them.
"However..."
"However what?" Lu Ye asked.
Yu Yaorao shook her head.
