Chapter 55: Say Baby, See Baby

His face was filled with anxiety, fearing that something might have happened to Xiao Wu.

"I'm really fine, I just had a weird dream. You don't know, the first half was super scary, so many people were chasing me, I thought I was going to die. But luckily someone came to save me later and told me not to worry anymore."

Xiao Wu has lived for so long and is actually quite smart.

She knew that Tang San was knocking on the door frantically because he heard her crying and laughing. Seeing her red and swollen eyes, Tang San would never believe her if she kept saying that she was fine.

But then he thought that Chu Zhao knocked on the window in the middle of the night and probably didn't want others to know she had been there, so he deliberately omitted this part and only made up a dream.

"So that's it."

Tang San then put aside his worries and burst into laughter. He was touched by the cute look of Xiao Wu telling her dream in a serious manner. He immediately stretched out a hand and wanted to rub Xiao Wu's head as he usually did, but Xiao Wu subconsciously dodged it.

The outstretched hand missed and froze in mid-air, looking at Xiao Wu with some confusion.

Tang San was not the only one who was surprised. Xiao Wu was also shocked by her own subconscious reaction.

She herself couldn't explain why, but when Tang San reached out to touch her, she suddenly felt that the distance between them was too close, already exceeding the boundaries of good friends.

So I subconsciously dodged it, but now I find it a bit strange, so I made up an excuse.

"We are adults now, you can't touch my head anymore, that's something only children like."

Xiao Wu, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, said this and successfully made Tang San laugh again.

Tang San retracted his right hand which had missed the target, put it behind him, smiled gently and urged Xiao Wu to go wash up.

"Then go wash up, sir. I'll go get breakfast. You will eat on time."

But after Xiao Wu entered the room, the smile on Tang San's face immediately disappeared and turned into loneliness.

Tang San is a person who is afraid of loneliness and hopes to be cared for. In the past six years, Xiao Wu has been almost inseparable from him, soothing his loneliness and letting him feel what it feels like to be cared for. Xiao Wu has become a very important existence to him.

He was very aware of Xiao Wu's emotional changes.

What we said just now was just an excuse for each other.

In fact, Xiao Wu felt that they should not be so close and should maintain a certain distance.

"Something must have happened last night that I don't know about."

Xiao Wu's reaction made Tang San not quite believe what Xiao Wu said. She only had a strange dream. A dream was not enough to make a person change so much.

But it was really all because of a dream.

Xiao Wu didn't lie to Tang San completely. After Chu Zhao left last night, Xiao Wu did have a dream, a beautiful dream that made her reluctant to wake up.

In the dream, Xiao Wu was just like Chu Zhao. He practiced very hard and his strength improved very quickly. He was also very lucky that no one discovered his identity as a soul beast.

It was not until she cultivated to become a Titled Douluo and went to seek revenge on the Pope of the Spirit Hall that everyone knew that she was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human.

But none of the people she knew, all her friends, despised her identity as a soul beast and still treated her as a good friend.

Xiao Wu was reluctant to wake up from such a beautiful dream.

Because of this dream, Xiao Wu plans to drop everything, practice hard like Chu Zhao, and strive to become stronger, so that this dream can come true as soon as possible.

Chu Zhao, the Queen of Volume, had no idea that she had influenced Xiao Wu invisibly and officially joined the ranks of the inner circle.

She is currently in the Star Forest, adapting to the halo she has just obtained.

"This halo of the Lord of the Forest is really useful. The soul beasts automatically avoid me. I don't have to worry about danger at all. It would be great if I could get some more treasures."

Chu Zhao was now at the junction of the outer and inner areas. The outer area was a relatively safe place, and most of the active soul beasts there were less than ten thousand years old. As long as she was lucky, she could wander around freely.

If you are in the middle range, you can still try if you are lucky.

"I saw the treasure as soon as I said treasure. Is it the effect of this halo or am I just lucky?"

Chu Zhao smelled a medicinal fragrance and looked in the direction where the fragrance came from, which was the middle area. He saw a red object on a tall ancient tree.

It was a rare and precious medicinal herb, Dragon Blood Red Ganoderma Lucidum, and it was just at its mature stage, which was the best condition for picking.

Seeing these herbs, Chu Zhao had an urge to pick them, but he had to stop.

"With this herb, I can make at least ten more fine body-building recipes and get ten potential stocks in the growth stage. But generally, where there are natural treasures, there are dangers. This herb is likely to be guarded by a powerful soul beast."

"But it would be fine if I didn't see such a good thing, but it's really sad to miss it after seeing it!"

"Why don't we just take a gamble? Can't the Forest Lord's Halo help us avoid danger in the forest? And I also have a one-time invulnerability halo, so a one-time attack is useless!"

Although Chu Zhao was so conflicted, it only took him two or three seconds to figure it out.

After making the decision, he acted very quickly and reached the ancient tree in just one breath.

He used his Flying Divine Claws to climb up a branch and swung towards the dragon-blood red Ganoderma lucidum.

Chu Zhao’s main strategy was speed. He picked the red Ganoderma lucidum as quickly as possible and then snatched it away as quickly as possible, not giving the spirit beast guarding the medicine any time to react.

When Chu Zhao touched the Dragon Blood Red Ganoderma, the knots on the ancient tree immediately moved, and the whole tree seemed to come alive.

It turned out that there was an extremely huge snake hovering on the ancient tree, staring at Chu Zhao with a pair of cold-blooded vertical pupils and spitting out scarlet and poisonous tongue.

"How can it be a snake that can camouflage itself? Oh my God, when did I become so unlucky?"

Seeing this, Chu Zhao almost screamed in his heart!

When Chu Zhao subconsciously grabbed the Dragon Blood Red Ganoderma and was about to escape, the giant snake attacked her extremely quickly. This time it was a test of reaction speed.

Snakes are naturally fast, and this snake soul beast has lived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. It is very powerful and its speed is even faster. It is chasing Chu Zhao very closely!

The wide-open snake's mouth was always against Chu Zhao's back.

This snake was obviously stronger than Chu Zhao, at least at the level of a Soul Emperor, and Chu Zhao couldn't handle it. So under the threat of danger, he really ran as hard as he could.

In fact, the snake was obviously coming for the dragon blood red Ganoderma lucidum that Chu Zhao picked. If she threw the Ganoderma lucidum away, the giant snake would most likely not chase her.

But Chu Zhao said that he was very greedy. How could he let go of something he had already got?
