Bazhi Mountain Range.
It had taken Charles and his team over four hours to get here.
At the entrance, the three of them moved slowly forward, stepping on the soft, decaying leaves, making only faint sounds.
Leading the team at the front was a mechanical canine pet beast.
Charles followed behind it, holding a monitor, glancing at the information that popped up on screen from time to time.
At this moment, the surrounding trees seemed to come to life, moving to block their path, effectively sealing the way forward.
The mechanical canine pet beast stopped.
Charles said, unruffled,
"These are Root Spirits. They generally don't attack humans; they just impersonate trees to block the path, indicating we can't go this way. We'll just take a different route."
Driven by curiosity, Qiao Sang asked,
"Why can't we take this path?"
"Xun Xun?"
Xiao Xunbao appeared out of nowhere, showing a curious expression similar to his Beast Tamer.
