We just need to follow the main road, avoid the Fire Spirits, follow the Mountain Demons, and after passing the third checkpoint, we can safely get out of Jiaomu Ridge.”

Xiao Jie exclaimed in amazement, “Impressive, Hao Ye!

Your spells are quite slick.

But tell me, what was that spell you recited earlier?

Is it something the system taught you?”

When spellcasters in the game cast their spells, sometimes they would automatically chant some spells.

These spells are actually set by the system and don’t require the player to chant themselves; it’s just background noise during the casting bar process.

However, the spell that Hao Ye Xinghe recited just now was clearly in his own voice, and the content of the chant was clearly improvised on the spot, such as “Immortals drip from Jiaomu Ridge,” which was clearly tailored to the current locale.

But Hao Ye Xinghe explained, “That line was something I made up myself.

The pattern is fixed, of course.

The main content of my study at the Five Immortals Sect these days has been this.

Soul Summoning Technique, you see, is actually about communicating with Wan Ling, offering gifts for shortcuts.

Of course, there’s a set format, just like the jargon used by mountain bandits.

If you don’t chant it that way, they won’t even pay attention to you.

There’s quite a bit of knowledge in it.

Asking for directions and such small matters usually just require saying some nice words.

But if you want someone to help in combat or with casting a spell, then you have to offer a tribute.”

Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was truly amazing.

The group continued down the main road and really didn’t encounter too many monsters.

Until they came across some Fire Spirits—a type of monster that looked a bit like a Lamp God, standing over three meters tall, made entirely of flames.

The upper half looked human, whereas the lower half was a whirl of flames, with a level of around 30.

These magic system monsters looked quite tricky, so the group decisively took a detour.

Then they encountered a few giant Mountain Demons, over five meters tall, made of rocks and dirt, lumbering through the mountains with a clumsy and silly appearance.

Because of their enormous size and the ability to travel through mountains, leaving a path in their wake as they moved, the group carefully followed the Mountain Demons, which did not seem to have any intention of attacking.

Following the Mountain Demons for over half an hour, winding through the mountains, they suddenly came to a narrow mountain pass.

Looking down at the familiar farmland wilderness below the mountain ridges, Xiao Jie thought the Soul Summoning Technique was indeed miraculous!

Although he had not yet demonstrated its effectiveness in combat, merely the ability to communicate with local divinities for convenience was definitely a strategic skill.

The Dragon Soaring Knights’ training of this Spirit Summoner would surely be highly beneficial.

In the future, when going to unfamiliar maps, it would be great to first inquire with the local divinities.

It could reduce a lot of risks and provide firsthand intelligence.

“How’s that, Feng?

I led the way pretty well, didn’t I?” Hao Ye Xinghe asked, as if presenting a treasure.

“Not bad at all.

You’ve really grown.

You’re going to be quite influential in the guild in the future.

Let’s go, we’ll head back to Luoyang Town first.

I wonder how the others have been recently.”

In fact, Xiao Jie had occasionally been keeping up with the activity of the Luoyang Branch in the group chat, so he wasn’t entirely clueless about the branch’s affairs.

Lately, under the leadership of Little White Dragon, they had started taking on the mountain bandits’ power in Black Wind Mountain.

Little White Dragon’s style of doing things was entirely different from that of Hidden Dragon Do Not Use; it was all about efficiency.

Make a plan, let everyone sign up, and then quickly get down to business.

Several villages had been conquered in this period, and the members’ equipment levels were slowly but steadily improving.

Two members had died in the process, both new recruits, but from the group chat’s reaction, it seemed there were no objections.

The five of them sped on their way, quickly entering the territory of Luoyang Plain.

Recognizing the increasingly familiar scenery around them, Xiao Jie felt somewhat like he was coming home.

Compared to Canglin State, full of demons, crises at every turn, and big bosses everywhere, the Luoyang Plain truly felt like a happy homeland.

When they reached a fork in the road, Xiao Jie suddenly stopped.

“You guys go on ahead.

I have something I need to attend to immediately.”

“Ah, Feng, aren’t you coming with us?

What’s so urgent?

Why not settle down in Luoyang Town first and then go?”

“Is it that urgent?”

“Indeed, it’s very urgent,” Xiao Jie sighed.

He, of course, was going to see White Ape—he had no idea if the old monkey was still alive.
