The next morning, the sun struggled to penetrate the layers of branches and leaves of the rainforest, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. Everyone packed up their luggage and continued on their journey.

Fatty Wang, Wu Xie and Bai Mumu walked in the middle of the team, laughing and joking all the way, making it very lively.

"Tian Zhen, what kind of treasure do you think is hidden in the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West that attracts so many people?" Fatty Wang asked in a hoarse voice.

Wu Xie shook his head: "I don't know either, but it's definitely not simple."

Bai Mumu smiled and interrupted: "Who cares? We just need to be careful."

As he said that, Fatty Wang turned his head and looked at Aning: "Sister Aning, what do you think?"

Aning had a blank expression and said nothing.

Fatty Wang didn't give up and moved closer: "Don't be so quiet, talk to me."

Aning still ignored it.

Seeing Aning hurrying along with her head covered, some people couldn't help but grumble to the others, "Tian Zhen, fairy, why is Aning so depressed all the way? Is there something on her mind?"

Wu Xie glanced at him and said, "Fatty, stop speculating. Maybe Aning just doesn't like to talk."

Bai Mumu also smiled and said, "Fat brother, maybe Sister Aning feels that there is nothing to talk about with us."

Fatty Wang was not convinced, "Little Fairy, you are wrong. Our team is so interesting. Now that she has joined our big team, she can't be so silent anymore. This is not sociable at all."

Bai Mumu thought what Fatty Wang said made sense, so she jumped in front of Aning, blinked her big eyes and said, "Sister Aning, don't be silent all the time. It's so boring."

Aning looked at her helplessly: "There's nothing to say."

Bai Mumu insisted: "Hey, Sister Aning, look at how beautiful this rain forest is, don't you want to express your thoughts?"

Aning was so annoyed by her that she could only say calmly, "Be careful, don't just look at the scenery."

Bai Mumu pouted, "Oh, Sister Aning, you can't do this, you'll get sick from being bored."

Aning felt helpless. Her new boss was good in every way except that he was sometimes too active and she couldn't handle him.

Pan Zi, who was walking in front, heard the noise behind and shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Pan Zi suddenly stopped, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he quickly raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

Everyone looked confused. Just as Wu Xie was about to ask, the young man raised his hand to stop him.

Pan Zi nervously pointed to the tree on the right behind him, indicating that there was someone there.

Everyone instantly became quiet, their nerves tense.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise in the bushes behind them, and several people turned around to look.

A dark figure flashed like a ghost and ran away at a very fast speed. The figure was agile and light-footed, as if she had merged into the rain forest. She jumped lightly between the branches, and disappeared from everyone's sight in a flash.

Without saying a word, the young man chased after him as fast as lightning. In a few breaths, the young man and the figure disappeared without a trace.

"Hey hey hey, brother!" Bai Mumu shouted anxiously.

Wu Xie also shouted, "Brother..." and was about to chase after him.

Pan Zi grabbed him and said, "Don't chase me. You can't catch up with me."

Wu Xie was so anxious that he stamped his feet, "We can't just ignore Brother."

Fatty Wang also sighed and said, "Alas, this guy ran away again."

Wu Xie said angrily: "This guy is always like this, he runs away without telling us."

Fatty Wang followed up with a complaint, "That's right, it's always like this, always making it mysterious."

Everyone waited there for a long time, but the young man didn't come back.

Wu Xie began to worry, "Will something happen to the little brother?"

Fatty Wang patted Wu Xie on the shoulder and said, "Tian Zhen, don't worry. With Brother's skills, if anything goes wrong, it will be someone else."

Bai Mumu also echoed, "That's Wu Xie, don't worry too much, brother is so powerful, how could anything happen to him."

Aning looked at the time and said, "We can't keep waiting here. We have to go."

Wu Xie looked reluctant, "Wait a little longer, maybe the little brother will be back soon."

Aning frowned, "We have a mission to complete, and we can't waste time waiting for him. Besides, we have left marks along the way, and the little brother will catch up with us if he sees us."

Pan Zi also advised: "Yes, Third Master, Aning is right. We still have to go and meet up with Third Master. We have wasted enough time on this journey."

Wu Xie gritted his teeth, thinking of his uncle whom he had not met until now, and was filled with worry. He sighed and nodded helplessly, "Okay, let's go."

Everyone continued to move forward, and Fatty Wang kept muttering about the figure as he walked.

"I tell you, that person looks like a woman." Fatty Wang said confidently.

Wu Xie looked skeptical, "How do you know it's a woman?"

Fatty Wang raised his head proudly, "Tian Zhen, don't underestimate me, my eyes are very sharp. Even though that person wrapped herself up tightly and was covered in mud, her figure and movements were definitely that of a woman. My eyes are like eagle eyes, nothing can escape them."

Wu Xie curled his lips, "Just brag."

Fatty Wang was anxious, "I'm not bragging, and I even doubt whether that person knows us. Oh, oh, oh, oh, naive, tell me, could that person be sent by your third uncle?"

Wu Xie shook his head, "Impossible, if my Third Uncle had arranged someone, he would have told me in advance.

Pan Zi also rejected Wang Pang's words out of the blue, "Little Third Master is right. I have been with Third Master for so long, and I have never seen that person. Moreover, if it is Third Master's man, it is even more impossible for him to run away when he sees us. He will definitely come over to say hello."

Everyone thought it made sense. Fatty Wang scratched his head and said, "That's strange. Who is this?"

At this moment, the tropical rain forest beneath the desert where they were located became more and more eerie and mysterious. The huge ferns were like big green umbrellas, covering most of the sky. The air was filled with the smell of rotten leaves and wet soil, and the vines on the ground often entangled everyone's footsteps.

Bai Mumu carefully avoided a thick vine that was across the road and said, "Who cares who she is? We just need to be careful."

Wu Xie nodded, "Yes, be careful, this place is full of weirdness."

Aning remained highly alert at all times, searching around.

Bai Mumu was thinking about something and suddenly she slipped and almost fell. Aning was quick to catch her.

Bai Mumu said gratefully: "Thank you!"

Aning said calmly: "Be careful."

The group continued to move forward in the rain forest, one foot deep and one foot shallow, with great difficulty, their hearts filled with anxiety about the unknown and anticipation for the Queen Mother of the West Palace...
