The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Inside the third-tier Spirit Gathering Cave.

Following the prompts on the card, Zeng Shen cautiously walked towards the right-hand cave passage. After walking about a hundred meters, he encountered a fork in the road.

At this fork in the road, Zeng Shen continued to use the clue cards to choose the correct cave passage and lead his followers deeper into the cave.

Five more minutes passed.

Before Zeng Shen and the others, another small cavern appeared, containing eight branching passageways.

Behind Zeng Shen, the hidden spirits followed cautiously. One of them said with some worry, "Sister Shui Ling, he has chosen the right three cave passages. He probably won't choose the right passages again from these eight branching cave passages, right?"

"Don't worry, with so many forks in the road, and without one of our hidden spirits to guide him, very few beings who come here would choose this fork in the road," the hidden spirit named Shui Ling said softly.

however.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zeng Shen, with the help of the prompt card, walked into the cave passage in the middle in front of him without hesitation.

Suddenly.

The Hidden Spirits began to panic.

“Sister Shuiling, he chose the right fork in the road again. Does he have some kind of trick or know which passage to take from our cave map?”

"I don't know, but we can't let him continue down this path," Shui Lingyin said in a deep voice.

"But Sister Shuiling, the mist we released has no effect on him at all; it can't stop him from going to those other passages."

"Yes, Sister Shuiling, we're not weaker than that human. Why don't we sneak up on him, knock him unconscious, and then throw him out of the cave..."

"Noko, no, the chieftain said we can't have any conflict with any creatures on the island. Go and inform the chieftain first and report the situation. We'll continue to keep an eye on things here."

"Okay, I get it now."

The spirit named Noko responded and rushed out through the passage to get to the cave before Zeng Shen reached its depths.

And not far away.

Zeng Shen encountered another fork in the road.

However, since he had run out of reminder cards, he had to stop and open the remaining lucky bag shop to continue redeeming them.

Each tip card costs 500 survival points to redeem.

It doesn't look very expensive at first glance.

But exchanging too much can amount to a large sum.

Zeng Shen thought to himself with a pang of regret.

However, he knew he would definitely need to redeem and use the clue card. After all, he didn't want to waste too much time playing hide-and-seek with those hidden spirits in this cave.

soon.

With the help of the clue card, Zeng Shen once again chose a cave passage leading deeper into the cave.

Afterwards, Zeng Shen and his companions encountered three or four more forks in the road. With the help of the clue cards, Zeng Shen easily and repeatedly chose the correct passages leading to the depths of the cave.

As a result, the Hidden Spirits not far behind him began to feel uneasy.

They didn't know why this man kept going deeper into the cave, nor did they know what his intentions were or whether he would pose a threat to them.

Just as they were pondering Zeng Shen and his group's thoughts, Zeng Shen and the others walked through a twenty-meter-long, winding passage and arrived at another spacious cavern chamber, about the size of two basketball courts.

The fog inside this cavern wasn't thick, and even the lizardwomen, who lacked X-ray vision, could easily see that there were seven or eight cave passages on the cave walls.

Zeng Shen and his followers had just taken a step forward when another extremely urgent warning sounded in his ears. [Danger! Danger! The third-tier Hidden Spirit Clan Chief and his third-tier Hidden Spirit Priest are leading their followers in a rapid attack on the host. With the host's current strength, if attacked…]

Upon hearing the prompt, Zeng Shen entered the cave chamber but did not take another step forward.

"Master, there are so many passages, which one should we take?" Hua Zhi asked, sitting on the deer beast.

"No need to go any further, they have arrived."

Zeng Shen shook his head slightly, stood still and squinted at the empty cave in front of him, saying, "Clan Chief of the Hidden Spirit Clan, since you have brought all the clansmen here, why not show yourself and have a talk?"

Zeng Shen finished speaking.

The lizardwomen and the five king-level summoned beasts behind him were all taken aback.

Followed by.

They then saw, twenty meters away, a dozen or so figures with pale, translucent bodies, snow-white skin, firm breasts, exquisitely beautiful faces, flowing long hair, wearing colorful, shimmering, semi-transparent short skirts, and long, beautiful jade feet half a meter off the ground, floating rapidly toward them like elves.

When Zeng Shen saw the group of creatures appear, a smile appeared on his lips. He then cast a Spying Eye at the Hidden Spirit floating at the front.

[Analysis: In his previous life, he was a chieftain of an elf clan. Due to a strange change that occurred in the cave where he and his people were buried, his soul, along with that of his clan, was extracted from his body under the mysterious power of the cave, transforming him into a hidden spirit.]

As Zeng Shen was observing the Hidden Spirit Clan Chief's panel, the Chief, along with all his clansmen, floated to Zeng Shen's side and said:

"Yin Libai, the clan chief of the Hidden Spirit Clan, led her people to meet the venerable human deity. May I ask why your esteemed deity and your followers keep approaching our clan's territory?"

Zeng Shen listened to the words of the Hidden Spirit Clan in front of him and narrowed his eyes, saying, "Your clan's territory? Heh, this world is my divine realm. Any race that appears in my divine realm can only be a follower of me and a believer who serves me."

"Forehead."

The chieftain of the Hidden Spirit Clan was taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Respected human deity, if you can find the seed of the Elf Tree that our clan lost on this island, our clan is willing to follow you and become your believers, serving you for the rest of our lives."

Zeng Shen did not expect that the Hidden Spirit Clan Chief would compromise so quickly and make demands.

Moreover, this requirement doesn't seem difficult to fulfill.

After all, he genuinely found the hint card to be really useful ever since he started using it.

It's just a matter of finding a fairy tree seed, right? We can just use the hint card later, it'll be fine in no time, right?

Thinking of this, Zeng Shen looked at the Hidden Spirit Clan Chief in front of him and said, "If you really find the Elf Tree Seed, you will lead all the Hidden Spirit Clan to believe in me, follow me, serve me, and be at my beck and call."

“Yes, the Elf Tree seed is extremely important to our clan,” said Yin Libai, the clan chief of the Hidden Spirit Clan.

"Okay, you wait here, I'll look for it for you right away." Zeng Shen said, immediately opening his stored lucky bag, redeeming a hint card, and then quickly clicking to use it...
