Let them offer their loyalty!

If it hadn't been for Qiu Tu seeing Yiyi turn into a large tree last night, he might not have seen through the tree's disguise right before him.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu walked over, gently touched the trunk of the large tree, and softly called out, "Yiyi..."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's call, the trunk of the tree gently trembled, its branches and leaves slowly transforming into two massive wings.

The wings flapped, the trunk transformed into a dragon's body, and the roots turned into a dragon's tail!

The ancient tree that Qiu Tu had touched thus transformed back into the Jade Dragon Yiyi right in front of him...

Upon seeing Qiu Tu, Yiyi bent its dragon body and gently nudged him, as if showing affection.

Qiu Tu jumped onto her back, opened the "Ghostly Map," and then, just like yesterday, directed the Jade Dragon to take off, continuing to "run the map"!

He hadn't been aware last night that the Xinjie Territory had been infiltrated by an Evil God, so Qiu Tu hadn't detected anyone tracking him.

But today, because he was mentally prepared and had been paying attention, Qiu Tu also felt the sensation of being shadowed.

However, perhaps because the follower was too weak, he couldn't determine exactly which direction the person was in or how many there were.

Qiu Tu wasn't in a hurry, his trump card would only work exceptionally well the first time it appeared.

It was best for him to act only after all his enemies had gathered.

Therefore, he wasn't in a rush and instead confirmed an intersection point by comparing the two straight lines he had drawn on the "Ghostly Map," sending the Jade Dragon Yiyi flying toward that spot.

When surrounded by multiple enemies, Qiu Tu obviously wouldn't go looking for the Central Hub. But it didn't stop him from briefly "passing by" to take a look.

So soon, under Qiu Tu's directions, the Jade Dragon carried him to that meeting point.

However, what surprised Qiu Tu was that the meeting point didn't seem special or show any anomaly.

That... it was just the most ordinary collection of trees. Like the countless trees that made up the Primitive Forest, there was no noticeable difference.

If one had to point out an anomaly, it was that it was too ordinary, ordinary as if it were deliberately arranged that way.

But now, since he was being followed, Qiu Tu couldn't thoroughly check and instead discreetly directed the Jade Dragon to fly past the area, continuing to map the Primitive Forest.

While drawing the map, Qiu Tu also pondered the right opportunity to take out the Boundless Divine Crystal soaked with Zhao Ji's aura...

Meanwhile, in the Primitive Jungle of the Xinjie Territory...

Three Black Shadows watched the flying Jade Dragon while rapidly moving through the jungle.

Their modes of travel were also all different.

The first Black Shadow seemed to have turned into wind, following the air currents caused by the Jade Dragon's flapping wings, leisurely keeping up at a drifting pace.

The second Black Shadow was enveloped in a mist, each movement stirring a fog, filling the forest. Wherever it went, all the trees seemed to be nourished, becoming tender and lush.

The third Black Shadow was the most peculiar... it traveled among the trees.

One second, an ancient face emerged on a tree trunk a hundred meters away.

The next second, that aged face appeared on a nearby ancient tree, giving an incredibly eerie feeling.

As such, following Qiu Tu's purposeless flight, the three Black Shadows also communicated with each other using their Divine Sense...

An aged voice said, "The strength of this Mysterious Person doesn't seem strong; I didn't even feel any pressure."

"Third Order at most, possibly only Second-order Peak," a burly man gruffly added.

A child spoke, "The strength indeed isn't strong. So, it's probably not an Evil God from the Sanctuary or other regions coming to steal resources."

"From his control of the Jade Dragon, he's most likely a believer of Larilo, collecting Cataclysmic Materials and Central Hubs to restore her power."

The burly man responded, "Makes sense, quite reasonable."

"So...after following him for a while longer, we can take advantage of him landing to capture him and interrogate him about Larilo's whereabouts."

Saying this, he chuckled lewdly, "I've been drooling over her and her sister for a long time."

"Now, having a chance to taste the younger sister first is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity given by the world."

"A goddess of 'Reproduction'... just thinking about it is thrilling."

"In time, I can recreate a body for her to warm my bed every day."

"If we could get her sister too..."

Hearing the burly man go too far, the aged voice and the child spoke in unison, rebuking, "Shut up!"

The aged voice said seriously, "Have you gone mad? Don't provoke that woman."

"We won't help you if you do."

The aged voice sounded somewhat diplomatic, but the child was more direct.

He said, "Even helping won't be of use. The three of us together aren't a match for Her Highness Zhao Ji. She's among the top three strongest Great Evil Gods in the Northwestern Region."

Continuing, he chuckled lightly, "But...it's no big deal. If you provoke her, we can collect your body."

"Anyway, it's simple, I guess not even ash will be left."

"Tehehe..."

Hearing the child's words, the burly man spoke with disdain, "You two are just cowards."

"What's there to be afraid of Zhao Ji? Isn't she also just a woman with a nose, two eyes, two ears, two holes?"

"You may fear her, but I sure don't."
