PS: Ten thousand words Chapter.
...
A sudden flash of inspiration illuminated Xu Ranās eyes brightly.
As he pondered, this plan seemed completely feasible.
But upon closer inspection, it had many fatal flaws!
The more he thought...
The more unreliable Xu Ran felt it was.
Because he knew nothing about the divine-level creature that had ambushed him.
Indeed.
He had escaped the tigerās jaw, but would that divine-level monster be lying in wait for him, ready to entrap him?
"I need to think of some auxiliary measures to make my plan appear foolproof."
"Firstly, itās known that each exotic giant wood is spaced quite far apart. A thousand trees cover an area larger than two provinces; ten thousand trees, thatās twenty provinces. With such a large area, even a divine-level creature couldnāt possibly arrive in an instant..."
Xu Ran analyzed this, and he had a point. After he killed the first tree monster, the divine-level creature took half a month to locate it.
Moreover.
The attack was only initiated when it discovered the guardian worm was killed and Xu Ran was extracting the wood heart.
At that time, even though Xu Ran was using Invisibility Skill, the divine-level creature could still guess he was nearby.
Thus launched an indiscriminate attack.
From these details, it was evident that his perfect Invisibility Skill was very commendable.
Since even divine-level creatures have weaknesses, why not exploit them?
Xu Ranās idea was to go to another forest, use Origami to create a tree monster, then simulate the aura and presence of the tree monster, openly extract the wood heart, while his true body hid 500 meters away, observing.
The Paperman would assist in transporting the wood heart...
This way, safety would be greatly enhanced, without needing to kill the guardian monster, reducing noise, and eliminating any blood scent.
Everyone benefits peacefully.
Isnāt it wonderful?
Thinking this.
Xu Ran made a decision.
So he detoured greatly, spending ten days, racing like the wind, with full speed ahead, to reach the forestās midsection.
During this time, he didnāt stop.
Continuously traveling, ten hours a day, at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour, covering a distance of one and a half provinces a day, finally arriving 4000 kilometers away from where the divine-level creature attacked him.
From Chinaās southernmost to the northernmost, itās only 5500 kilometers.
Have to admit.
The determination of the liver emperor is terrifying; when he decides to travel, he travels.
Adolescent period, day 3388...
Xu Ran had been trained for 105 days. The first 15 days traveling, the middle 60 days flying merrily, the latter 20 days only searching for exotic giant woods, and now 10 days, rushing, completely distancing himself from the divine-level creature...
More than half the time spent traveling!
Training isnāt easy!
Venturing deep into the Contaminated Area is even harder, thankfully he could carve talismans on his own, otherwise, he wouldnāt have lasted so long.
Xu Ran felt very distressed.
Such precious time, all spent on traveling.
If he had 8 million Qi Blood Value, heād make the divine-level monster attacking him regret on the spot!
"Still not strong enough, so I must strive. Nowhere near invincible yet."
Xu Ran focused his gaze.
Seeing a sky-high exotic giant wood not far away.
He tossed out a paper object, turning into a three-meter-tall tree monster figure.
At the same time, he, from 300 meters away, released an aura, this aura, simulated from the tree monster.
The Guardian Beast immediately shivered, lying on the ground, not daring to move.
In the natural world, strength is supreme; a threefold Qi Blood Value gap is enough to form bloodline suppression, pressing the Guardian Beast to breathe laboriously.
It originally had great respect for the Tree King, as the Tree King granted them excellent territories.
Now that the Tree King personally came to care for the giant wood, it naturally was as respectful and submissive as a dog.
The counterfeit Tree King, putting on a show, inspected around, then adeptly opened a minimally invasive tree hole, took out the wood heart, then floated up, patted the giant head of the Guardian Beast, and turned to leave.
The Guardian Beast lay on the ground, seeing off the Tree King respectfully.
It was incredibly excited now, the Tree King patted my head?
Does this mean the Tree King favors me? Am I about to reach the pinnacle of life?
Turns out I have an unusual bloodline, with the potential to become a god, hahaha.
Such a scene in the forest is common.
Guardians, though they donāt know what the Tree King is up to, believe itās natural for the Tree King to take the wood heart. They donāt dare utter a word, watching helplessly as the counterfeit Tree King extracts the wood heart, then pats their heads.
They were completely unaware.
Xu Ran from human society, had a very malicious mind.
His behavior was called "drawing a cake"āgiving a hint, drawing a cake one can never eat, making one indulge in a dream, unable to extricate themselves.
Evidently.
The Guardian Beasts fell for it.
They clearly had already failed in duty, yet blissfully believed they received the Tree Kingās praise, fantasizing about future promotions...
Amusement.
Xu Ran laughed, the world isnāt just about fighting and killing, itās about intrigue and strategies.
Isnāt this more enjoyable than violently defeating the Guardian Beast and then taking the risk to extract the wood heart?
Siege is inferior!
Conquering the heart is superior!
Interesting.
Xu Ran quietly disappeared from his place.
Half an hour later, he saw another giant wood.
Again, it was the imposing counterfeit Tree King going to extract the wood heart, then giving a hint to the Guardian Beast, the Guardian Beast nodding humbly, respectfully, its peculiar eyes brimming with delight.
No doubt.
This tactic of reassurance through hints was indeed brilliant.
The Guardian Beasts never suspected a counterfeit, who would dare impersonate the Tree King recklessly?
Behind the Tree King stood a superior god!
Impersonating the Tree King under the superior godās watch... courting death?
Their imagination couldnāt fathom Xu Ranās audacious operation.
So they completely believed every move of the counterfeit Tree King.
