Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

Sheng led Lin Xiao through the waist-high grass.

Lin Xiao looked at Sheng and saw her petite figure slyly moving through the grass.

Although he was not as tall as the clump of grass, he knew his surroundings perfectly, as if the grass itself was guiding him.

Soon, Sheng led Lin Xiao through a thin membrane. Lin Xiao didn't see the membrane at first, but after passing through it, she felt as if she had broken through something.

This membrane felt to Lin Xiao like the barrier between the various survivor territories, except that barrier was much stronger than the Grass Spirit Clan's barrier.

After passing through this thin barrier, Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. The waist-high weeds were gone, replaced by rows of small houses.

Lin Xiao looked around and found that the houses were only slightly taller than him, while Lin Xiao himself was 187cm tall.

In other words, the height of these houses is at most 2 meters.

As for Sheng, who was next to Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao estimated that she was only about 70 to 80 centimeters tall.

"Oh, it's Sheng back? And who's that next to you?"

Lin Xiaogang was only halfway through his observation when a voice broke his train of thought.

As Sheng and Lin Xiao passed through the barrier, a middle-aged man from the Grass Spirit clan happened to see Sheng.

Upon seeing Sheng, he greeted her warmly, then looked warily at Lin Xiao beside her.

"Uncle Jian! I've brought a big K... cough cough, I've brought a friend!"

Sheng happily skipped and hopped towards the Uncle Jian she had mentioned.

Lin Xiao followed behind Sheng, walking slowly.

"Oh, so you're Sheng's friend!"

Lin Xiao could clearly see that the wariness in the eyes of the Uncle Jian, whom Sheng had mentioned, had diminished considerably. It seemed that Sheng held a fairly high position here.

"Uncle Jian, where is the Grand Elder? I'd like to take my friend to see him!"

While Sheng was talking to the Uncle Jian he mentioned, Lin Xiao continued to observe the environment of the Grass Spirit Clan.

The village was surrounded by a wooden fence, which appeared to be made of a material very similar to the wood from the Misty Forest in Lin Xiao's territory.

Behind the fence were several plots of land planted with crops that Lin Xiao didn't recognize.

Lin Xiao roughly counted and found that there were more than 700 houses in total. If we counted three people per family, the entire Grass Spirit Clan would have a little over 2000 people.

Lin Xiao even saw five or six children of the Grass Spirit Clan running and playing in the village.

However, upon seeing Lin Xiao, they were quickly dragged back into the house by their families.

It seems that the entire Grass Spirit Clan is extremely wary of, and even hostile to, outsiders.

As for why Sheng insisted on bringing him here, Lin Xiao thought of the talent he had seen in the Deconstruction Talent section.

"Source Crystals? What exactly are source crystals used for?"

However, since he didn't know much about source crystals, Lin Xiao only thought about it for a while before giving up.

There was no other way; after all, the deconstruction of the Source Crystal took a full month, and Lin Xiao simply didn't have a month to deconstruct it.

However, looking at his more than 200 million source crystals, Lin Xiao immediately felt more confident.

Moreover... Lin Xiao gently touched the ring on his hand, and he could still feel the teleportation runes he had left in front of the territory barrier.

In other words, Lin Xiao can now teleport to the place where he just stepped into this place, which is in front of that large swamp, at any time.

With a way out, even if the fourth-tier elder suddenly makes a move, Lin Xiao will be able to escape unscathed.

Even if we take a step back, this is just a clone of Lin Xiao. Even if the clone dies, it won't affect the main body at all. At most, it will just mean that it can't be summoned again for 24 hours.

Soon, Sheng's chat with Uncle Jian came to an end. Under Uncle Jian's watchful gaze, Sheng took Lin Xiao's hand and hurried towards the position of the Grand Elder.

Lin Xiao also saw a two-story house located in the very center of the village.

Perhaps because this house was the residence of the Grand Elder, the height of the house seemed somewhat normal to Lin Xiao, at least 2.5 meters or more.

However, when passing through the door, Lin Xiao still lowered her head slightly, otherwise she would have bumped her head.

"Elder!"

Sheng pushed open the door, released Lin Xiao's hand, and called out from inside the room.

"Is that Xiao Sheng? Come in quickly!"

Before the elder inside could finish speaking, Sheng darted into the inner room and helped the elder out.

"Welcome, outsider!"

The elder was helped out of the inner room by Sheng. He was wearing a robe made of grass and held a cane made of green grass and some vines.

The style of the vines looked very similar to the vine spirits that entwine themselves on the swamp.

"Elder."

Lin Xiao looked around and found that there were no chairs in the room, so he plopped down on the ground.

The elder and Sheng smiled and sat down opposite Lin Xiao on the ground.

"Outsider, may I ask what brings you to our Grass Spirit Clan?" The First Elder looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.

"This... wasn't it Sheng who insisted on bringing me here? He even said he would show me around your clan."

"Well……"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's blunt answer, Sheng's face was filled with embarrassment, while the Grand Elder burst into laughter.

"In that case, Sheng, you will take this person with you... um..."

"Elder, you can just call me Xiao."

"Alright, Sheng, you can take Xiao on a tour of our Grass Spirit clan!"

"Don't worry, Elder!"

"As for the other tribesmen, I will give instructions to them so that they no longer need to be wary of Xiaoqi."

Sheng led Lin Xiao out.

"Speaking of which, I led you so far along the path just now, and you didn't tell me your name at all. How come you told me as soon as the Grand Elder asked?"

"But you didn't ask? If you had asked earlier, I would have told you already."

"..."

So for the next part of the journey, Sheng silently led Lin Xiao around the village and introduced her to her friends.

She only started talking more when she met Sheng's friends.

However, Lin Xiao was somewhat distracted along the way, constantly thinking about the Grand Elder.

Based on the healing crystal's effect, the elder's physical condition seemed to be somewhat off.
