Why do I feel a chill down my spine?

"Contract complete! We finally have this suitable plant-type tamed beast!"

Feeling the surging power within him, Su Yuan smiled.

Su Yuan frowned as his gaze fell on the mutated thorny tree demon.

Although he has now contracted the mutated thorny tree spirit as his tamed beast, the thorny tree spirit was seriously injured after the battle just now and no longer possesses much combat power.

Xiao Yan also suffered a significant energy depletion due to using the "Blazing Sun" skill.

Although it had consumed several awakened-level fire-type beast cores to restore its energy, it could not recover much in a short time, and its combat power was practically nonexistent.

Below him were five unfamiliar beast tamers, whose backgrounds were unknown. It was unclear how they would treat their savior.

Therefore, even though Su Yuan had already contracted the fourth beast, he dared not let his guard down.

"I am Zi Yun, the captain of the Bauhinia Flower Adventure Team!"

"Thank you so much for saving my life today!"

"Our Bauhinia Adventure Team will never forget the kindness our benefactor showed us today!"

"This is just a small token of our appreciation; please accept it, our benefactor!"

Just as Su Yuan was pondering, below him...

Seeing Su Yuan's aura suddenly surge, Zi Yun immediately understood that Su Yuan had completed the contract with the powerful tree king in front of him, and immediately expressed her gratitude to Su Yuan loudly.

At this moment, she had a package in her hand, which contained all the spoils that her Bauhinia Adventure Team had gathered during their half-month adventure in the Voodoo Jungle.

"Captain, this..."

Seeing Ziyun bring out all the team's spoils, the other team members hesitated to speak.

Situ Lan immediately gave the three of them a look, signaling them to calm down.

Upon hearing Zi Yun's voice, Su Yuan was slightly taken aback before turning his gaze back to Zi Yun.

"The Bauhinia Adventure Team, the name is quite fitting, as all the members are girls."

"Zi Yun truly lives up to her title as captain; she is indeed more thorough in her considerations than the other team members."

As Zi Yun respectfully presented the package in her hands toward him, a strange light appeared in Su Yuan's eyes.

At this moment, Zi Yun took out all the spoils they had gathered in the Voodoo Forest and gave them to Su Yuan, partly to repay the life-saving grace.

In reality, most people just want to spend money to avoid trouble and prevent problems from happening in the first place.

After all, the Invincible Secret Realm is isolated from the outside world, and there is no concept of the rule of law like in the city.

It's not uncommon for beast tamers to die in secret realms.

Zi Yun was unaware of Xiao Yan's current situation. She only knew that Su Yuan had wiped out the tree demon horde that had driven them to the brink of destruction with just Xiao Yan's single beast taming ability.

Even if the entire Bauhinia team joined forces, they would still be no match for Su Yuan.

Now, Su Yuan has even subdued the strongest tree demon as his tamed beast, causing his strength to skyrocket.

They were no match for the other side.

Wealth can be very tempting.

In the Voodoo Realm, they encountered a strange beast tamer whose strength far surpassed that of all of them.

Zi Yun voluntarily handed over all the spoils her team had gathered in the Voodoo Jungle to prevent Su Yuan from coveting their valuables.

Having understood Zi Yun's plan, Su Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly to Zi Yun:

"No need. I came here specifically for this poisonous thorn tree spirit. Saving you is just a small favor."

"May we meet again someday."

"Tree Spirit, come in!"

After Su Yuan finished speaking, he took out the beast-taming bracelet he had prepared in advance from his bosom and directly put the mutated poisonous tree demon, which was now only a charred tree trunk, into the beast-taming bracelet.

Finally, he nodded to Ziyun and the others, and was then led away by Xiaoyan.

"this……"

Su Yuan's decisive departure, without taking anything with him, caught Zi Yun somewhat off guard. She stared blankly as Xiao Yan led Su Yuan away from their sight.

"Captain! Captain!"

"Captain, stop looking! Our benefactors are already far away!"

"Captain, I've never seen you make that face at any other boy before."

"Tell me quickly, are you in love with our benefactor?"

Situ Lan watched as Xiao Yan and Su Yuan disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye, then turned to look at Zi Yun beside her.

Seeing Zi Yun's appearance, Situ Lan couldn't help but smile and said to Zi Yun with pursed lips.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Situ Lan's teasing voice immediately drew Zi Yun's attention back.

Looking back at Situ Lan, who was secretly pleased, Zi Yun blushed and gave a slightly flustered, coquettish rebuke.

"Oh no! We're doomed! Our captain has really fallen for him!"

Seeing the blush on Zi Yun's face, Situ Lan's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.

"You brat, I'll teach you a lesson!"

Seeing this, Zi Yun immediately made a move to strike Situ Lan. Situ Lan, seeing this, hurriedly ran back and forth among the remaining three team members to avoid Zi Yun's pursuit.

The playful chase between the two drew giggles from the other sisters.

The oppressive mood from just experiencing a life-or-death crisis also quietly disappeared in the playful chase between Zi Yun and Situ Lan.

"Captain, speaking of which, I've discovered that our benefactor is not only incredibly strong, but also extremely handsome!"

"If you two really got together, that would be wonderful! Hehe!"

Half an hour later, the members of the Bauhinia team were walking through the Voodoo Forest when Situ Lan said to Zi Yun with a serious expression.

"Together, shall we..."

Upon hearing Situ Lan's words, Zi Yun lowered her head and murmured in a low voice.

All that flashed through his mind were images of Su Yuan fighting the Poisonous Thorn Tree Demon.

She even recalled the scene when Su Yuan saw her wearing only underwear on her upper body, and their eyes met.

She asked herself honestly, and she did indeed have quite a bit of affection for Su Yuan.

"A man as outstanding as him would definitely not be interested in me."

But soon, she thought of her own situation, and her eyes dimmed as she fell silent.

Seeing that Zi Yun had fallen silent, Situ Lan did not continue to speak, but instead gave the other party time.

In another part of the jungle.

Su Yuan was sitting on an open space, with the newly contracted mutated thorn tree demon behind him.

At this moment, the Poison Thorn Tree Spirit plunged all its roots into the ground, frantically absorbing the energy from the earth and converting it into wood-type energy to heal its injuries.

A stream of green energy continuously flowed from the tree roots into the body of the Poison Thorn Tree Demon, and its injuries were rapidly repaired.

The greatest advantage of plant-based beast tamers is that as long as they are rooted in the ground, they can draw energy from the soil to repair themselves.

With the Treant's recovery speed, it will only take three days to fully recover from its injuries.

Little Flame lay beside Su Yuan, silently digesting and absorbing the energy from the fire-attribute ferocious beast crystal core it had devoured to replenish itself.

"Given the tree's recovery speed, the injuries on my body will heal in less than three days."

"The main material needed for the next evolution of the tree is the fifth-tier material, Poison Soul Wood Heart. It's such a coincidence."

"It seems that before leaving the Voodoo Forest, I will have to go back to the Poison Mist Valley and dig out the heartwood of the Poison Soul Fruit Tree."

"Once the big tree is fully healed in a few days, we'll go and confront that giant rock-shaking frog again!"

Su Yuan sat cross-legged under the Poison Thorn Tree Demon, looking at its evolution information, and said in a low voice.

The name he gave to the thorny tree spirit was "Big Tree".

Poison Valley, swamp, beneath the Poison Soul Fruit Tree.

The giant rock frog was dozing when it suddenly felt a chill down its back. Startled, it opened its eyes and carefully scanned its surroundings.

After finding no enemies around, the Giant Rock Frog let out a strange croak and closed its eyes again.
