I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

But everything that happened now was completely beyond Celia's imagination.

"I understand, let's go together."

Although she didn't say anything, it felt like she had said everything.

Bai Ye also understood that Celia would probably have passed away even without him.

But if you look at yourself, you're probably wondering if you can come along too.

"Thank you, warrior."

It's the same old three dishes again.

The way they manipulate people is still so familiar.

"You're welcome. I'll thank you later."

after?

A hint of doubt flashed in Celia's eyes. Although she didn't quite understand why Bai Ye would say that, she nodded in agreement.

Since Bai Ye has helped me, I don't need your thanks now; I'll save that for later.

Because of Celia, Bai Ye traveled smoothly without any obstacles. It's also possible that because the Grand Forest was on fire, the animals didn't have time to care about Bai Ye at the moment.

On her way to the source of the fire, Celia saw the crimson minotaur in front of her and immediately shouted, "Sauta!"

Sauta, the guardian deity of the forest, is also the king of the minotaurs.

Beside Sauta, a white bull looked in the direction of the sound.

Upon seeing Bai Ye next to Celia, Niu Niu's expression immediately changed.

Isn’t it?

How could I possibly run into Bai Ye here?

Niu Niu immediately prepared to go home and cry to her mother after parting ways with Bai Ye.

But not long after returning home, Niu Niu learned that his mother was fighting a fire in the forest, and an unexplained fire was spreading.

The animals were either running in the opposite direction of the flames or heading towards the source of the fire to see if they could put it out.

Niu Niu's mother was among them. Niu Niu was originally going to take refuge with his friends, but when he returned, everyone had already left. So Niu Niu could only go deep into the forest with Sauta to look for his mother.

What Niu Niu didn't expect was that she would actually meet Bai Ye here.

Upon encountering the demon again, Niu Niu instinctively hid behind Sauta. The thought of its king being here reassured it considerably; at least Bai Ye wouldn't dare to act recklessly here.

"Celia?"

What happened in the Sauta Forest?

Celia was confused about everything that had happened in the forest, and all she knew was that it was because the great magic circle had been destroyed.

"There's been a problem in the western forest; I need to head over there and check it out!"

With that, Sauta ignored Celia and, as time was of the essence, charged straight towards the western forest.

At the same time, Niu Niu also glanced at Bai Ye. After confirming that Bai Ye was not paying attention to it, it immediately followed Sauta's pace.

Although the western forest seemed to be getting more and more dangerous, Niu Niu knew very well that staying here might be even more dangerous.

I really don't know what they're afraid of.

Noticing Niu Niu's gaze, Bai Ye couldn't help but feel speechless. He had already said he would let it go, but it still acted the same way when it saw him again.

"I also feel there's something wrong over there."

Celia looked toward the western forest, a strong sense of unease rising within her.

"Let's go with them."

The flames came from that side.

Following Sauta's lead, the western forest had become a living hell, and there the arsonist was spotted.

After Bai Ye swiftly dispatched the arsonist in front of him with a single slash, he quickly ran forward, feeling as if something predetermined was guiding him there.

At the same time, Celia seemed to sense something as well, and followed Bai Ye's gaze in that direction.

Just as the two were lost in thought, a giant axe came crashing down on Bai Ye.

"Sauta, don't do it!!"

"Celia shouted, and as the axe drew closer and closer to Bai Ye, an energy was unconsciously gathering within Celia."

She didn't understand why the two of them had been perfectly fine when they met just now.

But why would Sauta choose to attack Bai Ye the moment he saw him again after only a short time?

Click.

Bai Ye raised his katana to block the giant axe, then used an upward slash to send Sauta flying.

"Humans, it is you who set the fire!"

Sauta's attitude towards Baiye changed drastically because he saw that humans had set the fire there.

The flames in the Grand Forest are all caused by the arsonists in front of us, and White Night, being a human, is naturally included in this group by Sauta.

“Sauta has nothing to do with Bai Ye. He was with me the whole time, and he also took down a lot of arsonists!”

Celia immediately explained that Bai Ye had just been with her, and besides, he had even attacked the arsonists.

How could Bai Ye possibly be an arsonist?

"Celia, humans are not trustworthy."

Sauta opened his mouth, but swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Sauta realized after that last move that he felt he was no match for Bai Ye.

Since he wasn't the arsonist, he had no reason to fight Bai Ye, mainly because he couldn't win anyway.

But verbally, he no longer wants to believe in humans.

“Sauta is not here to think about whether or not to trust; we should be dealing with the fire in the Grand Forest.”

Celia looked at Sauta calmly, not dwelling too much on what Sauta had said, but instead reminding him what was most important right now.

Besides, she believed that Bai Ye was trustworthy.

"Let's go, it seems to be just ahead."

Bai Ye sensed the magic ahead, but couldn't detect who was there. There was a person in the electromagnetic waves, but they were shrouded in a black mist. It seemed that the person was hiding their identity. Bai Ye thought that only Alice could probably do that.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Celia nodded solemnly and followed Bai Ye's footsteps, while Sauta hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to follow as well.

Although he couldn't trust Bai Ye at all right now, he was willing to trust Celia.

"Hey, isn't this Niu Niu?"

Ahead, Niu Niu was kneeling on the ground. Bai Ye had just been wondering why Sauta only had one cow, and the cow that had been following him was gone.

It turns out it was actually earlier in the sequence.

Good job, young man!

He actually charged even further than his boss.

"That's its mother."

Sauta spoke heavily. As the king of the minotaurs, he naturally knew the identity of this warrior, who was the mother that Niu Niu had been talking about.

It kept searching, but when it finally found it, it had turned into a corpse.

Upon hearing Sauta's words, Bai Ye was momentarily speechless, swallowing all his teasing remarks.

The other person's mother has passed away, so it would be a bit of a mood killer if I said anything.

"Lord Sauta, I wish to bury my mother here."

It looked up at Sauta, its eyes glistening with tears. It had thought it would be safe once it found its mother, but it seemed its haven had vanished, and it would have to rely on itself from now on.

This time, the Grand Fire seems to have cost him everything.

"Okay, let's bury him here. There's no danger around. We'll be going now."

In Bai Ye's perception, there was nothing else nearby except for the fire, and Niu Niu's current environment was considered safe.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Niu Niu looked at Bai Ye gratefully. Although Bai Ye had wanted to kill him before, he had ultimately held back.

Although killing oneself might spare one from this pain, one might still be thinking about whether one's mother is worried about not returning home before dying.

But now it seems to have returned. Was Mom worried about her safety before she died?

For a moment, Niu Niu's heart was heavy. He brandished the big axe in his hand and prepared to bury his mother here.

The chaotic surroundings left it no time to find a burial site.

Turning around to look at the cow digging the hole with all its might, Bai Ye shook his head. It would probably take some time for it to finish.

"arrive!"

The moment Bai Ye and the others arrived, the man in black opened a dimensional rift and left.

"A little slower."

A flash of annoyance crossed Sauta's face. It was just a hair's breadth away; that man in black robes was definitely involved in this fire.

Sauta quickly walked to the spot where the man in black robes had left. After seeing the teardrop-shaped ornament on the ground, he squatted down and picked it up. Upon seeing the ornament, Sauta suddenly felt that it was somewhat familiar.

Just as Bai Ye leaned forward to take a look, Sauta inexplicably said, "This foolish beast failed to stop the magic circle from collapsing; everyone will meet with misfortune!"

After saying that, Sauta collapsed, and Bai Ye, who was next to him, also felt numb.

no? !

Is this guy possessed?

Surely no one would call themselves a stupid beast?

He picked up the ornament from Sauta's hand; it still retained some magic, but it was something he couldn't understand, as he didn't know anything about magic.

"Hey, stop looking and hurry up and catch up with Celia!"
