106 The Wilderness Forest
When he heard Zelda’s words, Su Ming immediately quirked his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.
“You mean you’ve already found the Elf tribe that sent us the letter?”
Zelda shook her head and said, “No, it’s not.”
“We found an Owl in a forest in the North. It looks exactly like the Owl.”
When Su Ming heard that, a hint of disappointment flashed past his eyes, but he still nodded his head.
This could be considered a clue. If they could follow the Owl tribe and find the tribe that sent the letter, this information would be extremely valuable.
After Zelda said that, she hesitated for a while before she said, “But, Great Prophet, I have too many things to do here. I may not be able to go there to investigate in a short time. Can you help me?”
Zelda’s face was full of sincerity when she said this.
Once she finished speaking, a notification instantly lit up in Su Ming’s system space.
[Congratulations on triggering the mission: The Owl’s trail!]
[Mission description: The Elven Warriors have found traces of the Owl you are looking for in the northern forest. Please help Elf Commander Zelda to complete this search mission.]
[Mission reward: Zelda’s favorability, 80000 experience points, spiritual boots.]
Su Ming looked at the mission notification that appeared before him. He quirked his eyebrows and his eyes lit up.
Truth be told, Su Ming’s mood was pretty good every time he triggered a mission like this.
After all, these things were things that Su Ming had to do for the development of the tribe.
Under such circumstances, it was a good thing to receive a mission and some additional rewards.
As he thought about it, Su Ming nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll go there and investigate the specific situation. You can wait for my news here.”
Once he finished speaking, Su Ming accepted the mission, then turned around and left Zelda’s room.
Once he left Zelda’s room, Su Ming first walked around the Elf Valley and found the hunter who was said to have found the Owl tribe.
“Hello, are you the first Owl you discovered?”
When the Elf Hunter saw Su Ming, he first bowed respectfully and addressed him as the Great Prophet before he said, “Yes! Great Prophet, I found the Owl in the wild forest in the North about three hours ago.”
Su Ming nodded and opened his eyes. “Tell me the details.”
The Elven Hunter said, “About three hours ago, I was ordered to investigate the wild forest in the north.
“Then, when I walked into the depths of the forest, I saw traces of this kind of Owl by one of the pools.
“I’ve made a rough estimate. There are at least a hundred Owls there.”
Su Ming was also slightly surprised when he heard that.
If there were hundreds of Owls, it meant that the number of Owls in that place had already reached a certain scale.
As he thought about it, Su Ming frowned slightly and asked, “In that place, did you find any signs of humans rearing Owls?”
Hearing this, the Elven Hunter frowned and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.
“I’m sorry, Great Prophet. I didn’t notice this.”
Su Ming nodded and patted the Elf Warrior’s shoulder, whose face was filled with shame. Then, he rushed toward the forest that the Elf Hunter had mentioned.
Su Ming had heard of this place before.
In the northern part of the Elf Valley, the wilderness forest was the largest forest. There were many creatures living there, some known and some unknown.
In the tribe’s eyes, this place was mysterious.
That was why as the tribe continued to develop, Su Ming and the other people in the tribe had been trying to find out what was going on inside.
After riding Da Bai out of the tribe, Su Ming had originally wanted to carry Benben.
However, this time, when the Turtle saw a Mike following Su Ming around, it was stunned.
It flew to Mike’s shoulder out of curiosity and sat down.
Su Ming was stunned for a moment. He had wanted to ask this Turtle to come down.
However, a scene that shocked him even more appeared.
Mike did not show any displeasure when he saw the naughty Turtle. Instead, he let the Turtle ride him.
Su Ming opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that whatever he said would not be right.
Thus, he decided to ignore the Blood Clan cultivator and the Turtle in the air and focused on riding Da Bai toward the vast forest in the distance.
After about two hours, Su Ming arrived at the edge of the forest.
Da Bai was traveling at full speed, and his speed was simply ridiculous.
Su Ming turned around and saw Mike carrying the Turtle on his back. He was walking toward them at a steady pace.
The Turtle seemed to be very satisfied with Mike’s speed. It even reached out its little paw and patted him on the shoulder.
Su Ming shook his head helplessly. Once he grabbed the Turtle, he brought it into the depths of the forest.
According to the Elven Hunter, the Owl lived in a pool in the middle of the wild forest.
Such a place was rare in the wilderness.
Su Ming had seen it on the map before. There were only three sources of water in the forest.
Once he looked at the map, Su Ming headed straight for the nearest pool.
When he arrived, Su Ming was slightly disappointed.
The water source here was very dirty, and there were very few birds nearby. Even animals were pitifully few.
“It doesn’t seem to be here.”
Su Ming did not hesitate either. He turned around and walked toward the second water source.
As time passed, Su Ming continued moving through the forest.
Mike followed closely behind him, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
It did not take long for them to reach the vicinity of the pool.
However, just as Su Ming got close to the pool, he suddenly heard quarrels coming from the direction of the pool.
Su Ming quirked his eyebrows slightly and his gaze instantly focused. At the same time, he waved at the Mike in the air.
Mike naturally understood what Su Ming meant. He immediately landed and gently removed the Benben Turtle that had run up to him.
Su Ming patted the Turtle’s head and placed his middle finger on his lips, signaling for it to be quiet.
Then, Su Ming lowered his body and moved closer to the pool.
