Behind the door was a very narrow cell. Luke was lying on the ground, unconscious.
Bai Di woke him up.
When Luke woke up, he was very surprised to see Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Huanhuan in front of him. "Why are you here?"
"We came down to look for you and Xue Ling."
"Xue Ling is missing?" Luke was surprised.
Bai Di looked at him. "He came down to save you, then he disappeared. Haven't you seen him down here?"
"No. I fainted after I fell. I didn't wake up until now." Luke looked confused. He looked like he really didn't know anything.
In addition to the door they had entered, there was another small door in the small cell.
Shuang Yun pushed open the door and looked inside. Unexpectedly, behind the door was a lush forest.
He turned back to Bai Di. "Why is there a forest underground?"
Without sunlight and fresh air, how did these flowers and trees survive?
It was too strange to think about.
Bai Di carried Huanhuan over, and Luke followed.
Luke thought for a moment. "It's said that before the evil dragon escaped, he plucked the most precious Wisdom Tree of the dragon race. The Wisdom Tree is the source of life. Any plant that approaches it can obtain powerful vitality. Perhaps he planted the Wisdom Tree here, which is why this forest exists."
Hearing this, Huanhuan couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The beast continent had the Divine Wood, the dawn continent had the Tree of Life, and the secret dragon continent had the Wisdom Tree...
It seemed that every continent had a tree that symbolized life.
Was this a coincidence?
If not...
Huanhuan thought about it. There were many thoughts in her mind, but every one of them was blurry.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Di asked suddenly.
Huanhuan looked up at him. "I'm thinking about what the Wisdom Tree has in common with the Tree of Life and the Divine Wood."
Shuang Yun suddenly interrupted, "Isn't it them being trees?"
Huanhuan shook her head. "It's not that simple."
"Then what should we do now? Should we go in and take a look?"
Bai Di thought for a moment. "Let's go in and take a look. The way back is blocked anyway. We have nowhere else to go. Let's walk ahead. We might find something unexpected."
Hence, one by one, they walked out of the small cell and into the dense forest.
There were rocks above their head, and there was no sunlight. The entire forest seemed very dark. Huanhuan held a torch in her hand, and the light illuminated the path under her feet.
Luke noticed the little girl being dragged behind and couldn't help but ask, "This child is--"
Shuang Yun, who was walking in front, replied casually, "Her name is You Xue. We picked her up on the way."
Luke was speechless. "You picked up a girl on the way... It's fine if you don't treat her well, but why are you treating her so roughly? She's a delicate little girl."
Bai Di agreed. "I think it's a little rough too."
Huanhuan: "..."
He said it so seriously as if he wasn't the one who drugged You Xue and let Shuang Yun drag her forward.
Bai Di continued, "So I suggest you carry her. What do you think?"
Luke was confused. "Huh?"
Bai Di smiled, looking very friendly. "We're the only three males here. Shuang Yun and I have mates. We can't carry other females. You're the only one who's still single. You don't have to worry too much."
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have said anything just now!
Bai Di looked at him. "Weren't you feeling sorry for her just now? I'm giving you a chance to save her. Aren't you willing?"
Luke: "...Yes."
When Shuang Yun learned that he no longer had to drag You Xue along, he immediately threw her to Luke.
You Xue was small, so it was not heavy to carry her on his back, but Luke was still very uncomfortable. After all, this girl's body was pressed against his back. This intimate distance made him very uncomfortable.
The five of them walked through the forest.
As they gradually went deeper, the surrounding light became dimmer. Occasionally, they could see a few stone statues in the dark forest.
When Eggy saw the stone statues of the vultures, she suddenly chirped.
His crisp cry instantly spread throughout the entire forest.
The 'vulture statues' suddenly spread their wings and flew up!
Only then did Huanhuan and the others realize that they were not stone statues but living vultures!
They flapped their wings and pounced at Huanhuan and the others in groups!
Bai Di and Shuang Yun transformed into their beast forms at the same time and carried Huanhuan forward.
Luke also transformed into a dragon and followed You Xue on his back.
They were very fast. The vultures could not catch up to them and were quickly left behind.
When they stopped, they realized that they had run to the deepest part of the forest.
In front of them was a big golden tree, under which were piled various treasures.
The light they emitted was even more dazzling than the torch in Huanhuan's hand.
Huanhuan looked at the treasures in front of her in shock. "There are so many treasures!"
"Dragons have a hobby of collecting gold, silver, and treasures. The evil dragon is no exception. These treasures should be his collection." Luke looked up at the big tree that was emitting golden light in front of him. "So this is the Wisdom Tree..."
A huge red dragon flew down from the top of the tree. He stared coldly at the outsider in front of him.
"Who are you?"
The red dragon in front of him was the legendary evil dragon. He was extremely powerful. Luke, who was also a dragon, could sense that the opponent's pressure was especially terrifying.
Involuntarily, he lowered his head to avoid the red dragon's gaze.
Huanhuan looked up and said politely, "We're beasts from the beast continent. We're here to find our family member."
"Beasts?" The red dragon looked down at them. "I don't welcome outsiders here. Get lost."
He mercilessly ordered them to leave.
Huanhuan wanted to say something else, but Bai Di stopped her.
He pointed to the little girl on Luke's back and smiled. "I wonder if you know this little girl?"
The moment the red dragon saw the little girl, his gaze suddenly changed. "You Xue?!"
As if hearing the red dragon's call, You Xue slowly woke up.
She opened her eyes and looked up to see the red dragon not far ahead. Her face immediately revealed a look of surprise. "Brother!"
Her crisp and clear call of 'brother' almost frightened Luke into throwing her aside.
He had actually been carrying the evil dragon's sister all this time!
Just thinking about it made him want to faint.
When the red dragon saw that his sister was in the other party's hands, he finally lost his composure. He said in a low voice, "Let go of You Xue immediately, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Bai Di wasn't afraid of his threat.
"We can let her go, but only if you help us find our family member first."
