Chapter 981: 981

Chapter 981: Soul of the Forest

Gu Mengmeng stood under the tree . She appeared to be in a daze but she was actually not thinking about anything .

She was just feeling the changes in her body, wholeheartedly focusing on experiencing the indescribable changes occurring inside of her .

After a long time, until the changes finally stopped did she finally raise her hand and gently hold it against a thick tree branch .

Thereafter, a young sprout grew out from the spot where she had a finger on . It had just two tiny tendrils with baby leaves still curled in the early stages of growth . It was a tender green color that shone with a natural sense of vibrancy .

A soft crackling sound .

That tender sprout dropped off the tree branch and fell right onto Gu Mengmeng’s palm .

“This should be the Soul of the Forest…” Gu Mengmeng murmured .

The barrier blocking Elvis and the rest disappeared at the same time the sprout fell off . They dashed to Gu Mengmeng’s side and Elvis immediately engulfed her deep in his arms . He only relaxed after making sure she was completely unharmed .

Hearing Elvis’ breath of relief, Gu Mengmeng gently hooked his chin and let him see the sprout in her palm . “I got the Soul of the Forest . ”

Elvis had never cared much for Chixuan, and so had no regard for this ransom at all .

But this lousy twig was something Gu Mengmeng spent a lot of effort to retrieve, so he didn’t want to burst her happy bubble . So he glanced at it and said mildly, “Mmm, keep it properly . Let’s go back . ”

Gu Mengmeng nodded . She wrapped the Soul of the Forest in a small piece of animal hide before storing it in the pocket of her snake skin .

The road back was rather uneventful and nothing unexpected happened .

But when they exited the crystal vines area, they could not find the entryway amongst the white mist .

It wasn’t that they couldn’t find it, but…

There were too many and they didn’t know which was the correct one .

The entryways all looked exactly the same, and even the mark that Lea made had been replicated .

“This…” Gu Mengmeng didn’t know what to do . Would anything bad happen if they just picked anyone to enter?

As they hesitated, a familiar voice sounded out from one of the doors .

“Ah Gu, I have come to fetch you . ”

With that, Cole emerged halfway from the white mist . He still had one foot back in the mist .

With half his body popping out of the white mist, he reached out one hand in a welcoming gesture .

Gu Mengmeng frowned unhappily .

Although Cole’s appearance solved the dilemma of which door to enter . It didn’t overcome the annoyance she felt whenever she saw him .

“Why are you here?” Gu Mengmeng asked curtly . She would not be kind to him just because he had pointed them to the right doorway . But she would also not purposely avoid the correct entry just because it was Cole who had shown the way .

Elvis understood Gu Mengmeng’s intentions, and so just bypassed Cole as he entered the entryway .

He had just taken one step in when the white mist started to churn, as if being sucked by a tornado . Wave after wave swirled in a strong turbulence before finally gushing towards Gu Mengmeng .

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Mengmeng took out the Soul of the Forest from her pocket .

As expected, the white mist was immediately absorbed into the Soul of the Forest like water swirling down a bathtub drainage .

Gu Mengmeng smirked . “So planting trees is indeed the solution to preventing haze…”
