"He got here pretty fast." Xiao Ze turned his head slightly. In his perception, several figures were racing toward them at incredible speed.
"Let's go. We'll find the Soul Infant Fruit first!"
As he spoke, Xiao Ze led the other two at a breakneck pace into the Ancient Forest.
The discovery of the stone gate wasn't particularly surprising, but Xiao Ze was determined to get the Soul Infant Fruit. He couldn't let anyone else have it.
The vast Ancient Forest was filled with exotic fragrance, and a thin mist hung among the trees.
Xiao Ze and the others strode right in. Wherever they went, they swept through like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves. Ordinary magical beasts didn't dare approach them at all.
Even Seventh-Rank Magical Beasts could only keep their distance.
"I sense it! The Soul Infant Fruit!"
As they made their way forward, Zi Yan suddenly spoke, excitement appearing on her little face.
"Which direction?" Xiao Ze nodded and asked.
"West!"
Zi Yan pointed with her little hand. Xiao Ze didn't waste a moment, leading the two of them in a swift dash in the direction she indicated.
With a general direction to follow, Xiao Ze pushed his speed to the limit. In just a short while, the three of them reached a lake nearly ten zhang across.
The lake water was exceptionally clear. At its center floated a patch of land, almost like a small island. On it stood a bizarre little tree.
The tree was silvery gray all over, its branches intertwined like vines, twisting and curling into a strange arc.
At the very center of that arc, faint golden light was quietly spilling out.
"It really is a Soul Infant Demon Tree."
Seeing the bizarre plant, a glint of understanding flashed through Xiao Ze's eyes.
