spirit tree Core: This dungeon core has been replaced by an ancient elf tree, possessing partial dungeon functions.

Qi Ye already knew about this trait, so he wasn't surprised.

Void Drift: Consuming instance energy, this dungeon can detach from the Corrupt Forest Instance at any time and travel to fixed coordinates.

Oh, so it means Firefly Grassland can drift around in the The Void, just like when the Grassland dungeon split from the Firefly Forest before. This was also within his expectations.

Qi Ye glanced at the description of the dungeon traits and nodded calmly. Just as he was about to investigate other information about the dungeon, he suddenly looked up sharply. "Wait, that's not right!"

He carefully read the description of Void Drift again. Qi Ye took a sharp breath, suddenly thinking of the many miraculous uses for Firefly Grassland.

If he transported all the animals into the Grassland dungeon, he could even pilot Firefly Grassland, moving through the The Void. When it collided with another dungeon, it would border it, allowing him to plunder resources!

Or, he could sever ties with the Corrupt Forest and take all the animals away from the Corrupt Forest. But that would essentially be following the same path as Brit, who died in the grassland. This was a last resort; unless he was pushed to a dead end, Qi Ye naturally wouldn't do this.

The dungeon traits that allowed for both offense and defense made Firefly Grassland extremely suitable for the animals to settle down!

As a Tier 5 dungeon with S-rank difficulty, Qi Ye could choose a Tier 7 animal to be the Instance Guardian. However, due to the spirit tree Core trait, the Instance Guardian had already been locked as the ancient elf tree. It was both the Instance Guardian and also handled some functions of the dungeon core.

The ancient elf tree couldn't speak, but upon seeing so many animals, Qi Ye could sense its excitement and thrill.

He would just let it continue to manage the grassland on its own. If there was anything really needed, he would entrust it to do so later. He would also take the opportunity to call Green Bean over as a consultant to help it manage. Qi Ye called Green Bean over.

"Green Bean, you are responsible for communicating with the ancient elf tree and discussing how to transform this place into a more suitable living environment for us."

Green Bean nodded immediately like a chick pecking at rice: "Understood, Lord!"

It rubbed its wings and showed an excited smile: "Hehe! First, we need to cut down this patch of tall grass and replace it with flat grassland!"

"Then we need to develop a residential area, and an industrial zone—"

Green Bean was already planning the renovation scheme for the grassland and was enjoying it. Above its head, the ancient elf tree seemed to be listening to Green Bean's words, occasionally swaying its branches slightly to indicate agreement.

Presumably, it wouldn't be long before a large group of animals moved in, making Firefly Grassland vibrant once again.

Meanwhile, the animal pioneer team that had arrived at the grassland had already begun to clear the defunct flesh traps scattered across the plains.

These flesh traps were composed of animals that had once lived on the grassland. They were long dead and could not be resurrected.

As the Flame-tailed Foxes released balls of fire, burning this flesh into ashes, several plumes of black smoke rose into the sky above the grassland. Qi Ye sighed and looked away, unable to bear the sight.

Why the Blood God had come to this grassland was likely to seek revenge on him. But even without the Blood God, if discovered by any evil god, it could not avoid the fate of destruction. And only after that, when an Adventurer was pulled into the grassland, could Qi Ye discover this place.

...On the national highway leading to Yun Province on Blue Star, a convoy was traveling at night. In another half an hour, they would arrive at the border of Yun Province and reach the military guesthouse to rest.

Guan Bingru's caravan had already set off. She was accompanying her father and was on her way to Yun Province to discuss business.

The entire convoy consisted of twenty vehicles and over fifty people, including more than thirty bodyguards, all of whom were Tier 5 or higher. The convoy traveled along the way without incident.

In a modified pickup truck at the end of the convoy, Mi Dou, Chocolate, and a Black Fox battle pet brought by another Beast Tamer bodyguard were all sitting in the truck.

Chocolate was leaning against the car window in the back seat, watching the scenery outside. It turned its head and said to Mi Dou beside it: "This is your first time riding in a car, meow!?"

Mi Dou shook its head: "I've ridden in cars when I was in Hehai City."

Chocolate asked in surprise: "Ah? When? How come I've never heard of that."

From when Qi Ye asked it to assist the Ecological Protection Institute, to destroying the Otherworld Rift, and finally saving Porpoise Sound, Mi Dou recounted all its experiences to Chocolate.

Chocolate listened, its tail suddenly wagging. It admitted that it was a little jealous of Mi Dou's experiences. It said sourly, regretting why it had brought up this topic: "Meow, so that's how it was. Porpoise Sound was saved by Lord at that time."

"I really wish I had the Spirit Link Skill, meow."

Beside them, the Black Fox looked at these two big shots with a gaze of admiration, not daring to utter a word. It was only a Tier 3 battle pet; how could it dare to speak to them? Even hearing them communicate felt incredible to it. It feared it would never reach that level.

Halfway through their conversation, the convoy suddenly stopped. Something seemed to have happened up ahead. An attack?

Chocolate immediately straightened up and poked its head out to look forward, but couldn't see anything at the very front. "Why did we stop? Could something have happened?"

The driver in the driver's seat muttered a few words in confusion and picked up the walkie-talkie to talk to the people at the front. Soon, he nodded and said to the three animals in the back: "It's nothing. The people in front said there's a wild boar corpse blocking the roadside, and they are clearing it."

At the very front of the road, a large wild boar about two meters long was lying straight in the middle of the road. Several bodyguards had gotten out of the vehicles in front and were moving the wild boar off the road.

"Is it really nothing?" Chocolate was a bit nervous. Having followed Qi Ye and fought in the Sacred Lake for so long, even encountering an accident on the roadside made it feel like something was wrong.

The driver smiled and explained: "It's really nothing. I've been driving on this national highway for I don't know how many years. This section is the safest. Otherwise, there wouldn't be wild boars running around; they would have long since been eaten by monsters."

The Black Fox nodded; it also felt there was no problem. Chocolate turned back and looked at Mi Dou, who had the same look in its eyes, a bit suspicious.

"I'd better go down and take a look." Saying this, Chocolate leaped out of the window as smoothly as a loach. It turned on its night vision, ran forward for over a hundred meters, and arrived at the front of the convoy.

Just as the driver had said, a wild boar was lying in the middle of the road. Its four legs were being held by the bodyguards, and it had already been dragged to the side of the road. The convoy would soon be able to proceed normally.
