However, since it's not an instant death rule, everything is fine. Ning Bao's suicidal heart... ah no, I mean her helpful heart is eager to try.

Before the monsters could stop him, Ning Bao had already stepped into that scorched earth.

Wen Ya, on the other hand, watched from behind without stopping her. Let her court death; Ning Bao has so many things Mu Mu prepared for her, she won't die easily. Besides, this body isn't Ning Bao's own, so it won't matter if she dies. If not now, when?

However, she decided not to go, since it was her own body, and if she died, she would truly be dead.

Despite her short legs, Ning Bao leaped and nimbly across the scorched earth, quickly disappearing into the distance and becoming a tiny black dot in the monsters' field of vision.

The monsters exchanged glances, unsure of what to do. They were lowly monsters who barely survived by selling their cheap labor; they had brains, but not many—they couldn't even do simple addition and subtraction beyond ten.

Wenya, on the other hand, leisurely lay down on the spot:

"Bai Gao, are you taking a nap?"

Seeing Bai Gao shake her head, she lazily yawned again:

"Keep an eye on them. If these monsters make any unusual moves or seem dangerous, call me. I'm going to take a nap."

"Okay, Gao Gao will definitely complete the mission."

Suddenly entrusted with such an "important task," Bai Gao, who had just caused trouble, was eager to make amends and nodded with a serious expression. The whole little cat dumpling leaned against Wen Ya's big front paw, its wide black eyes looking around.

Several monsters were still tied up, otherwise Wenya wouldn't be able to sleep so soundly. They looked at each other again, but their empty minds prevented them from thinking clearly. One or two of them looked fierce and menacing, but they all stood there dumbfounded.

As for Ning Bao, although she was courting death, she had the ability to do so. Sometimes, being small in stature can be an advantage, like right now.

Ning Bao dodged once again the enormous tentacles that inexplicably sprouted from the ground. She gasped for breath, her tongue lolling out, as she struggled to move her four short legs. Everyone else who came in tried to figure out the rules and avoid breaking them. Ning Bao was different; she knew nothing, carelessly broke them, and then desperately tried to dodge them.

No wonder those monsters couldn't get through. Just the short distance Ning Bao ran, she not only encountered giant tentacles emerging from the ground, but also a giant loach with wings that suddenly burst out of the scorched earth. Although it was called a giant loach, it only looked like one; after all, it didn't have such sharp teeth as that loach.

Fortunately, although Ningbao might have been breaking the rules, because of its small size and lack of flesh, the creatures weren't too eager to relentlessly pursue it. After trying twice and realizing they couldn't catch it, they stopped wasting their energy.

After all, such a small husky isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap. The nutrition we can provide for them doesn't even compare to the effort it takes to catch Ningbao, so it's really not worth it.

Apart from the instant-death rule, most of the rules are semi-mandatory rather than fully mandatory, so these underground creatures certainly have the right to give up after trying them once or twice.

The rules are meant to protect the survival of creatures in both worlds, not to starve these already small numbers of creatures to death.

So, being small can sometimes be an advantage. Those monsters didn't get such good treatment when they came in to try; the creatures from the underground were relentlessly pursuing them. How could a monster that easily grows several meters long possibly receive the same treatment as a tiny little husky?

Ning Bao slapped a speed-up talisman on his forehead and ran for over an hour. Although he had to dodge attacks from tentacles and giant mudfish, these creatures were so passive and unhelpful that it felt like they were just going through the motions and going through the motions. As a result, Ning Bao was surprisingly fast and covered a great distance in just over an hour.

Suddenly, Ning Bao saw a patch of green. Her eyes lit up; could this be the legendary oasis?

She wanted to slap another speed-up charm on her head and run to the oasis in one go, but then she suddenly remembered the story of the mirage that Mu Mu had told her before, and she paused in her action of slapping the speed-up charm.

Forget it, it seems pretty close. If it's true, we should arrive in a little while. If it's false, then there's even less need to use a speed-up scroll.

Ning Bao finally concluded that using the speed-up talisman now would be a waste. So she carefully stuffed the talisman back into her spatial bag and ran towards the oasis again.

Hopefully, it's not a mirage.

Ningbao thought to herself while panting to cool off. That's the downside of being a dog; it's so hard to cool down! Ningbao used to sweat a lot.

However, whether it was because the two Heavenly Daos really helped Ning Bao, her luck was consistently good. This was indeed a small oasis, not some mirage.

The only minor problem was that Ningbao was attacked before entering the oasis.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Ning Bao was dangling in the air. Looking at the vine that had wrapped around him, his first reaction was not fear, but curiosity.

How could it not be novel? As a single wood-type spiritual root with a wood spirit body, Ning Bao's affinity for plants is almost innate. In the past, there have even been instances where herbs that have developed sentience have taken the initiative to approach Ning Bao.

However, as novel as it may be, Ning Bao quickly realized that since her current body was not her own, she no longer possessed the innate affinity of a Wood Spirit Body for plants and trees, so it seemed quite normal for her to be attacked.

Fortunately, in this world, Ning Bao and Wen Ya learned physical skills from the giants, and physical skills don't have any distinction between the five elements. Otherwise, Ning Bao would definitely be devastated, because in her original body, regardless of the cultivation system, as long as it was a wood-based cultivation method, Ning Bao had excellent talent, so much so that some plants suspected that Ning Bao was a plant spirit.

Realizing the vines were dragging her down, Ningbao opened her mouth without hesitation and bit down hard. She couldn't even breathe underwater, let alone on the ground, so she couldn't be dragged down; she would die.

Her small, seemingly unsharp little teeth were actually surprisingly powerful. All the ghosts and monsters Ning Bao had dealt with before certainly knew this all too well. This wooden vine must be feeling it now, because the one that had been wrapped around Ning Bao had already been snapped off in a few bites.
