Thanks for the chapter!!! lol. Well, I figured that he was going to get a young dryad dye to the multiple foreshadowing, but I wanted to spare her from what she is about to witness......She will have to see the slaughter of her family and learned the meaning of a Blood Feud or Vengeance. Well, I can't deny that I still want Xie Tian to start a massacre before Cao Mao reaches the location of battle, since I want him to show Cao Mao the shortcut for acquiring [Nature's Heart] which is a necessary trope for external martial artists and melee type MCs. As such, Xie Tian needs to fight against an ambush with no rest and only victory as the goal. Cao Mao will need to witness his change in movements and fluidity. .......Sigh, the only problem is that I now feel a bit sad for the unnamed dryad girl. She will personally see her close clansmen exterminated. However, if we look on the bright or manipulative side, she can be convinced by Cao Mao to sign a Blood Contract (by giving up a drop of her precious Blood Essence Droplet) and leave with him as her new family (AKA tamed/contracted beast).
......If Cao Mao can get Elder Ju to refine some pills or medicinal bath ingredients, is it possible to help transform the Dryad into a young tree nymph? Even if she is temporarily weakened in the process, the change would allow her to practice human techniques and even mystic arts. She would have a lot more potential than a monster
