Start with Awakening the Spirit

"strangeness--"

Jiang Xiao looked at the strange jungle in front of him.

From a distance, you can see the dense mist lingering over this area, which shows that there should be a lot of water resources here.

This time when they entered the secret realm, the senior management did not set any specific tasks, but just told them that they needed to find out what was going on here.

The more detailed the map reported, the richer the reward from Xia Kingdom. It is said that the highest prize is a quasi-god Pokémon (Baby Dragon).

Therefore, entering the secret realm this time does not limit their exploration time. Therefore, if they want to collect intelligence and find treasures to the maximum extent, they must first ensure their own survival conditions.

In wild survival situations, water resources have always been one of the key strategic resources.

As long as they encounter water resources, everyone will subconsciously replenish the water in their hands.

Jiang Xiao and others are no exception.

Not to mention, Jiang Xiao and the others had just walked through the Gobi Desert, and they were even more eager for water.

If possible, Xia Wanqing and the other girls would even like to rinse off a little.

"The previous wasteland environment was difficult to survive without a certain level of strength."

"Anyone who chooses this direction will inevitably think of crossing the wasteland in the first place."

"At this time, there should be a lot of people lurking in the jungle. The military and police are okay, but they are afraid of those trainers who entered in advance!"

Before the military blocks the entrance to the secret realm, someone will definitely sneak in in advance.

No one knows whether they are good guys or bad guys, so they have to be on guard.

"You know, humans are often more dangerous than elves, so we should try to be careful when we act..."

Jiang Xiao was talking nonchalantly, but found that there was no sound coming from behind him.

Jiang Xiao turned around and found that at some point, there was no one behind him.

Giant Pincer Mantis found nothing unusual, which meant that Xia Wanqing and the others left by themselves.

The corner of Jiang Xiao's mouth twitched, and his face turned dark. Are you leaving me now?

"Captain, it's not good for us to leave without saying hello, right?"

Four girls, Xia Wanqing and Yan Jiangli, were walking together in the jungle.

Ximen Qingyan looked back from time to time, obviously hesitant.

She didn't know if it was the right thing to do.

Xia Wanqing explained calmly: "We went to find a place to take a bath, say hello to Jiang Xiao, and give him a chance to take a peek."

"But……"

Yan Jiangli chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we will go back to find him immediately after taking a bath."

"It's okay Qingyan, Sister Wanqing's Koga ninja frog left a mark on Jiang Xiao!"

Zhu Xinran bit her stick and said, "Yes, are you afraid that you won't be able to find him?"

Ximen Qingyan shook her head and said, "I'm just worried that Junior Jiang Xiao will be attacked by bad guys."

"The four of us are together, even if we meet other people, they won't dare to provoke us."

"But there is only one junior, Jiang Xiao!"

After hearing Ximen Qingyan's words, several people stopped and their expressions changed.

"Qingyan is right. Since we chose to form a team, it was our fault to abandon Junior Brother Jiang without even saying a word."

Xia Wanqing said in a faint tone, and then sighed, "Okay, I'll go find Junior Brother Jiang first, and you guys go find the water source..."

"Then please trouble Sister Wanqing!"

Yan Jiangli and the others did not refuse. They really couldn't stand the stinky smell on their bodies.

Xia Wanqing nodded slightly, turned around and took the Koga Ninja Frog back the way they came. With the Koga Ninja Frog's mark, she could easily find Jiang Xiao.

Yanjiangli and the others continued to look for water sources, and they wanted to clean themselves up.

"Hey, we're in luck!"

Not long after walking, Yanjiangli discovered a hot spring in front of him.

After Yan Jiangli saw it, he immediately stepped forward with burning eyes and said in surprise: "Qingyan, come and take a look. Is this a hot spring eye?"

"that is true……"

Ximen Qingyan covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock. One moment she was talking about taking a bath, and the next moment a hot spring actually appeared.

Zhu Xinran's eyes narrowed slightly, feeling weird... This must be too much of a coincidence.

"Whatever, let's take a shower quickly!"

"At this time, if Jiang Xiao is here, how can we take a bath happily?"

Yan Jiangli said excitedly, and then released the demon fire red fox (female) to help look at the surrounding situation and be alert if anyone came.

Ximen Qingyan and Zhu Xinran looked at each other, with expressions of helplessness on their faces, but they did not hesitate to release their elves to guard them.

Ximen Qingyan also asked her Gyarados to cast a freezing beam, creating an ice wall directly around the spring.

Three young and beautiful girls slowly began to take off their clothes in the ice wall.

As the buttons were unbuttoned one by one, the white shirt and youthful and energetic skin were immediately revealed...

It's a pity that no one sees this charming scenery, which makes people feel a little regretful.

"Wow~ It's so comfortable!"

Yanjiangli and three people were taking a bath in the hot spring.

"Miba——!!!"

And in the space that Yan Jiangli and the others didn't see, a pair of eyes were staring at them.

...............

At the same time, Jiang Xiao was walking alone in this gray-black jungle with Die Xiaodie and a giant mantis guarding him.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were constantly changing. The humid environment here, the strange-shaped plants, the tiny mosquitoes flying around...

There's a bit of weirdness everywhere here!

The vegetation in this secret realm is very different from the outside. Even compared to other secret realms, this place also has a weird atmosphere.

However, although it looks weird, it has all the elements that a tropical rain forest should have.

Wild elves, swamps, miasmas, and poisonous insects and snakes lurking beneath the leaves.

These are extremely deadly elements!

From an outsider's perspective, Jiang Xiao was only surrounded by Die Xiaodie on his head and the Giant Pincer Mantis beside him, so he was definitely a good target.

Jiang Xiao was walking halfway when he suddenly stopped and looked at a tree crown.

"Hey, you've been staring at me for a while, and it's almost over. If I don't take action, you won't have a chance to take action."

After the words fell, there was silence in the air, as if everything was Jiang Xiao's mumbling.

"I really don't cry without seeing the coffin!"

Jiang Xiao's eyes flashed, and without any instructions from Jiang Xiao, the giant pincer mantis casually cut out a blade of air and flew towards the tree crown.

"Your observation skills are really keen!"

A sneer came from the canopy.

Then, countless high-speed starlights were shot out, successfully blocking the attack of the giant pincer mantis.

The collision between the air blade and the high-speed star caused a aftermath that blew away the tree crown.

A man and an elf stood on the canopy of the tree. The man wore a lizard king mask on his face, and the elf beside him was also a lizard king.

Jiang Xiao looked at the masked lizard king.

Race: Lizard King

Level: Elite (24.6%)

Growth speed: Elite +0.1%

Features: Lush

Life (+3), physical attack (+3)

Physical defense (+3), special attack (+4)

Special Defense (+3), Speed ​​(+4)

The Lizard King, whose attributes are not very outstanding, is the only one nearby. He must be a lone ranger who entered the secret realm in advance.

Jiang Xiao suddenly had an idea in his mind.

If you dare to rob me, I will not call you Jiang Xiao unless I beat the crap out of you.
