On the way breaking the blockade from Wang Xiaole and his group, all tree spirits showed their eye-like patterns;

Roots of tree spirits were pulling up from underground and standing upright;

Those pairs of tree eyes were fixed on several targets right in front, unwilling to easily let them go.

Seeing the dense tree spirits ahead, the thoughts of the three members in the team became astonishingly unanimous at this moment:

So troublesome!

If this place were seen as an RPG world, then the three embarking on this adventure all belonged to the type of character:

They would rather battle the boss while being surrounded, than stop midway to clear out the small fries for a brief moment.

However, it was also impossible to leave all the miscellaneous soldiers unattended along the way.

Facing the stubborn tree spirits blocking their path, Wang Xiaole's response was simple:

"If you want to stop me, then I'll just chop you all up as firewood sticks!"

The light in Wang Xiaole's eyes flickered rapidly, the long sword grasped in his hand emitted a dazzling sword aura.

He lifted the sword straight up and fiercely struck down towards the endless tree spirits ahead, carrying an astonishing sword light.

At that moment, as the sword fell, the boundless sword light seemed to tear through the night;

The light resembled a slender arc moon, enveloped in terrifying energy, pushing across the path ahead!

The land in front seemed to be swirled up like a blanket;

In no time, the darkness in the forest was dispelled;

The tree spirits were devoured by the light, then disintegrated tragically!

The intertwined branches above were turned into substantial terrifying holy power at that moment, completely torn apart instantly!

Shortly after, Mewo White and Lucia felt themselves transition from night to day instantly.

From the sky above this terrifyingly dark forest, a small part in the middle appeared to have been devoured.

In the usual scenario, darkness consumes light, but this time light pierced through the darkness, wiping out the deep black and leaving a pure white line in the pitch black.

The long row of tree spirits blocking the path seemed to be cleared as Wang Xiaole's sword struck out;

Each tree spirit turned into fragments, not even able to maintain the shape of a firewood stick.

Following the strike, the intimidating aura that Wang Xiaole released a moment ago quickly receded;

Soon, Wang Xiaole returned to his usual self, standing in front of others.

"You guys, keep up."

Wang Xiaole shouted loudly behind him and dashed forward, closely followed by Lucia and Mewo White.

The broken branches spreading in the air continued to spread into the sky after the sword light passed through;

The branches spread rapidly, covering the broken sky in a short time;

The sunlight in the forest dimmed once again.

Fortunately, due to the previous strike, the countless tree spirits in front were also completely wiped out;

For a quite long period of time, the three swiftly approached without any hindrance, running straight out of the forest.

The surroundings were quiet, and there were no more tree eyes on the trunks of the dry trees ahead;

the group ran forward, and the tree spirits seemed to have vanished.

The quieter it was, the more uneasy Mewo White felt;

her intuition told her:

this quietness was too abnormal, as if the calm before a storm.

Nevertheless, even so, Mewo White had to keep running behind her big brother, not daring to stop, needing to break out quickly now!

From above, the three were positioned in the middle of the forest.

Wang Xiaole continued to lead the way, charging forward;

suddenly, the blocking dry trees in front disappeared, revealing a vast square ahead;

looking at the tree standing in the center of the square, Wang Xiaole exclaimed:

"In this naturally formed forest, how come we see such man-made structures?"

But that doesn't seem to be the point...

The two women behind him quickly reached the edge of the square.

"Keep it down!"

Wang Xiaole said softly, his eyes showing caution as he looked at the tree.

In the middle of this circular square stood an enormous tree!

The trunk of this tree would need dozens of people to hug it together;

its canopy covered the sky, completely blocking out the sky over this area!

On the canopy, some things wrapped in green leaves were hanging, emitting a red glow from within.

Undoubtedly, the tree spirit standing before them was the most powerful monster in the forest!

Currently, the tree spirit stood quietly in place, but Wang Xiaole was not relaxing in the slightest.

Wang Xiaole didn't doubt his ability to defeat the tree spirit king, but figured his wife was almost back in the room making breakfast.

It was almost breakfast time, and Wang Xiaole naturally didn't want to waste any more time on this monster.

So he immediately proposed to the two women behind him:

"Let's ignore it and go straight through this forest."

Lucia nodded, agreeing with her husband's proposal.

As for Mewo White, she remained silent,

Wang Xiaole believed he had reached a "Mewo White language" level three proficiency and interpreted the little girl's silence as agreement.

As they moved, Wang Xiaole still held his sword in his hand, and the surrounding trees were unusually normal;

perhaps it was because of the tree spirit king's presence here that the other tree spirits generally had no place here;

the many tree spirits chasing from behind also did not dare to enter this area.

In this extremely safe situation, Wang Xiaole led the two women around the left side of the tree spirit king;

when they reached the far left, the canopy above the tree spirit king suddenly rustled.

They paused, warily watching the tree spirit king, seeing no sign of awakening, and then continued forward.

As they were about to leave the area, Wang Xiaole sighed with relief, feeling quite pleased with his decision to cut corners just now.

At this critical moment, Mewo White, who was at the rear of the team, suddenly sprung into action.

In the blink of an eye, Mewo White raised a palm as large as a leaf of the King of Tree Elves, and with her delicate nails, she grabbed at the target beside her.

Crack!

This was no ordinary strike.

The King of Tree Elves was deep in slumber, only briefly roused by the footsteps of Wang Xiaole's group earlier, before drifting back to sleep.

Unbeknownst to it:

At the moment it was sleeping peacefully, an uninvited guest would target its tree trunk with such a strike.

And it was no ordinary strike!

The five to six-meter thick trunk of the King of Tree Elves was reduced by nearly three-fifths in the time it took Wang Xiaole to blink once.

Upon awaking briefly from the pain, the King of Tree Elves realized it had been attacked and also caught sight of the small figure responsible;

The judgment of it being an enemy came as the King of Tree Elves lowered its head and realized:

The tiny assailant's nails had just been withdrawn from deep within its trunk.

Things took a serious turn as it essentially witnessed the crucial moment of the crime scene with its own eyes!

For the tree elves, who valued their appearance, what difference was there between this act and disfigurement? How could they endure it?

"You wretched brat, I'll crush you into a size sufficient to nourish me!"

The intelligent King of Tree Elves roared out in extreme anger.

Mewo White, watching her enraged opponent, knew her tactical plan had met with great success.

Having an assassin who disliked relying on the cover of night and instead preferred launching an attack during broad daylight;

Having an assassin who could easily outwit their enemies but chose to confront them head-on instead;

Still, having an assassin who, at the crucial moment when a fight could be avoided, chose to instigate a conflict proactively just to protect her older brother from being ambushed.

It must be acknowledged:

Mewo White's intentions were good, all for the sake of her elder brother;

Yet unbeknownst to her:

If she hadn't attacked the King of Tree Elves, her brother's current struggle could have been entirely avoided...

"Don't worry, I'm coming to save you!"

With no blame in his heart, Wang Xiaole hurried back, running faster than a rabbit all the way.

Rushing back, Wang Xiaole stood in front of Mewo White, leaped up as one foot stomped down, and fiercely swung his sword at the entwined Vine Man.

Smack!

After cutting down the Vine Man and preventing Mewo White from being restrained, Wang Xiaole immediately scooped up the little girl and sprinted towards the exit.

At the same moment, the King of Tree Elves, with its trunk now fully opened at two points, was no longer half-open as before but was seething with rage, unhesitatingly aiming its branches at Wang Xiaole to strike.

At this critical moment, Wang Xiaole, holding Mewo White in his arms, was planning to shift his weight and deliver a spinning kick towards the branch.

Yet, at this moment of imminent danger, a fan struck forward, manipulating a surging blaze to push the branch back temporarily.

Without a doubt, that was support from Lucia;

Compared to the cute "little sister", Lucia's first reaction still prioritized matters related to her lover.

"Your move this time was amazing, Sia, well done!"

"Hum hum hum, dear, you're praising me... but what does 'amazing' mean?"

Lucia alternated between joy and confusion, her facial expressions changing rapidly.

As for the term "amazing," Wang Xiaole didn't have time to explain, just quickly added:

"Let's go!"

Wang Xiaole ran alongside Lucia, holding Mewo White tightly in his arms.

Seeing the intruders trying to leave, the tree crown of the Tree King began to shake;

The endless branches and twigs fell from above, sealing off all the exits of the surrounding forest;

In an instant, a sealed square formed here, with only the team and the owner of this place inside.

Even if Lucia controlled flames, she couldn't completely burn down this tree in the short term.

In other words:

No matter how fast Wang Xiaole and his team accelerated, they were most likely going to miss out on having a piping hot breakfast.

With things having come to this point, Wang Xiaole made up his mind:

"If the other party is bent on fighting, we can't dampen their spirits... well then, let's turn it into a giant firewood stick!"

Wang Xiaole's gaze fixed on the Tree King, his face full of hatred;

It's just unknown how much proportion the word "breakfast" occupied in his current fury.
