Chapter 286: Finally, It Is Done

Darkness shrouded the earth, and the forest was silent as Lin Xuan, Wang Zhenqiu, and Xiao Qing walked within it.

Suddenly, Xiao Qing stopped in their tracks, pointed ahead, and exclaimed, "Look!"

Lin Xuan and Wang Zhenqiu looked in the direction indicated, only to see a massive tree standing before them; its trunk was incredibly thick and its branches and leaves were lush, appearing like a giant umbrella blocking out the sky and sun.

"What kind of tree is this? How could it grow so large?" Wang Zhenqiu asked in astonishment.

Lin Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed; he could feel the rich vitality radiating from this giant tree, but at the same time, he also sensed an aura of danger.

Just then, the branches and leaves of the giant tree suddenly began to shake, and immediately after, a giant face actually emerged upon the trunk!!

"Trespassing on this deity's territory, you are courting death!"

Accompanied by a low roar, the giant tree suddenly extended several vines, lunging fiercely toward the three of them!

Lin Xuan, Wang Zhenqiu, and Xiao Qing dodged quickly, simultaneously activating their respective abilities to counterattack.

Lin Xuan raised a palm, and flames surged upward, transforming into a Fire Dragon that lunged at the vines, but the moment they made contact, the flames were absorbed by the vines, causing them to grow even more rapidly instead.

Wang Zhenqiu formed seals with both hands, and a bolt of lightning struck toward the vines, but it was blocked by the wood-attribute power released by the giant tree.

Xiao Qing let out a sharp cry, their body transforming into a streak of green light, weaving between the vines in an attempt to find the giant tree's weak point.

However, the giant tree's power was exceptionally strong, and the vines attacked crazily like giant pythons, causing the three of them to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

Just then, Lin Xuan discovered that the branches of the giant tree were covered in strange Fruit, which emitted an alluring fragrance.

"These Fruit... could they be the source of the giant tree's power?" Lin Xuan's heart stirred, and he signaled to Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Qing.

The two understood Lin Xuan's meaning instantly; the three of them joined forces to block the vines' attacks while leaping toward the branches of the giant tree.

Lin Xuan plucked a Fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.

Immediately, a powerful force surged within Lin Xuan's body, and his flame ability had actually been enhanced!

"It works!" Lin Xuan was overjoyed and shouted to Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Qing, "Quick, you try it too!"

Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Qing each plucked a Fruit and consumed it, immediately feeling their own power enhanced.

Just then, the giant tree seemed to perceive the three's intentions and let out an angry roar.

Following that, a giant White Fox darted out from behind the giant tree, its speed incredibly swift, heading straight for the three of them!

"Careful!" Lin Xuan shouted, and the three quickly formed a formation, preparing to engage the White Fox.

The White Fox opened its bloody maw and spat out a blast of white icy energy, instantly freezing the surrounding air into ice.

Lin Xuan waved a hand, and flames surged, transforming into a wall of fire that blocked the icy energy.

Wang Zhenqiu formed seals with both hands, and a bolt of lightning struck toward the White Fox, but it was nimbly dodged.

Xiao Qing's body transformed into a streak of green light, circling behind the White Fox, preparing to launch a surprise attack.

However, the White Fox's reaction speed was exceptionally fast; it turned abruptly and swiped a claw at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing narrowly escaped a disaster, but was also shaken by the White Fox's power.

"This White Fox's power is not to be underestimated; we must give it our all!" Lin Xuan said in a deep voice.

The three exchanged glances and successively activated even more powerful abilities.

Lin Xuan's flames transformed into a Fire Dragon, roaring as it lunged at the White Fox; Wang Zhenqiu's lightning transformed into a Thunder Net, sealing off the White Fox's retreat; Xiao Qing transformed into a streak of green light, engaging in close-quarters combat with the White Fox.

The scene was exceptionally intense; the surrounding trees collapsed one after another in the battle, and dust filled the air.

Under the siege of the three, the White Fox still appeared to have energy to spare, and suddenly it spoke mockingly: "With just this bit of strength, you dare to challenge this deity?"

Hearing the White Fox's words, the three of them couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, but at the same time, it stirred their fighting spirit.

"Don't be so arrogant!" Lin Xuan roared, his flame ability increasing once more, and the Fire Dragon roared as it lunged at the White Fox.

Wang Zhenqiu also gritted his teeth, formed seals with his hands, and lightning flashed as bolts of electricity struck toward the White Fox.

Xiao Qing's body transformed into a streak of green light, pushing their speed to the limit, constantly weaving around the White Fox to find an opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

Although the White Fox was still able to block the three's attacks, it gradually began to appear somewhat strained.

"Its power is weakening!" Lin Xuan keenly sensed the White Fox's change and hurriedly said to Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Qing, "Push harder, we have a chance to defeat it!"

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Wang Zhenqiu and Xiao Qing were invigorated and successively launched even more powerful attacks.

Lin Xuan's flames transformed into seas of fire, surrounding the White Fox; Wang Zhenqiu's lightning transformed into Thunder Dragons, exploding continuously around the White Fox; Xiao Qing transformed into a streak of green light, constantly leaving wounds on the White Fox's body.

The White Fox roared repeatedly but could not shake off the three's siege; its power was constantly being consumed, and the arrogance in its eyes was replaced by terror.

"You... you actually dare to hurt me!" the White Fox roared.

"So what if we hurt you?" Lin Xuan snorted coldly, "You are merely a lowly demonic beast, yet you dare to act so fiercely before us?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of malice flashed in the White Fox's eyes, but facing the three's powerful attacks, it was already unable to resist.

"Don't be so arrogant, you are no match for me at all!"

Having said that, the three launched their attacks again.

Lin Xuan's flames transformed into a Fire Dragon, lunging at the White Fox from the front; Wang Zhenqiu formed seals with his hands, and a bolt of lightning struck the White Fox from the side; Xiao Qing transformed into a streak of green light, circling behind the White Fox to prepare a fatal blow.

The White Fox roared, wanting to block the three's attacks, but it was already powerless to do so.

The Fire Dragon lunged onto the White Fox's body, instantly scorching its fur; the lightning struck the White Fox's body, causing it to tremble; Xiao Qing's claws also left deep wounds on the White Fox's back.

"Awoo—" the White Fox let out a miserable shriek, its body collapsing to the ground, no longer able to resist.

"We succeeded!" Wang Zhenqiu shouted excitedly.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Qing also revealed smiles, and the three high-fived to celebrate.

"This White Fox's power was indeed strong, but we aren't bad either!" Lin Xuan said.

"That's right, as long as we work together, nothing can stop us!" Xiao Qing echoed.

"Next, let's continue forward and explore this mysterious forest!" Wang Zhenqiu proposed.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Qing nodded, and the three stepped onto their journey of exploration once again.

They knew that there were still many unknown dangers and challenges awaiting them in this mysterious forest, but as long as they worked together, they would certainly be able to overcome all difficulties and find the legendary treasure.

Afterward, a giant crab appeared before the three!
