Chapter 420: [Roosting Giant Tree]

~7 min read 1,298 words

If conditions didn't permit, it would be set up at least twenty kilometers away, and connected by several Magic Circuits from different areas to ensure the supply of energy.

Flame Witch: "Boss, what exactly is going on?"

Witch of Thorns: "Yeah, so many flying monsters. A flock of Three-Eyed Crows just flew over my head, almost scaring my trypophobia out."

Dream Witch: "You, someone who plays with thorns, actually have trypophobia?"

Witch of Thorns: "I'm just saying it, you just listen to it and that's it, why so serious."

Flame Witch: "Everyone shut the fuck up, I came to ask a question. After I finish asking, you guys can talk your nonsense."

Pandora, who originally had a somewhat fiery temper, directly interrupted the two's bickering.

Then she asked Lan Qingyou again.

Tower Witch: "It's nothing, if nothing unexpected happens, it should just be that everyone's range of choices for familiars has expanded."

Tower Witch: "I mean flying familiars."

Tower Witch: "I obtained a plant in a certain instance dungeon before that can attract flying monsters to come roost and has a chance of taming them. Now this plant has also grown up, naturally there are flying monsters coming over."

Yes.

Lan Qingyou, who hadn't realized what was going on before, immediately understood what was happening after learning about the situation.

That's why she asked Lucia to see if the other party was intercepted.

As long as they weren't malicious or aggressive, then these foreign monsters would be able to enter the interior of the Magic Array.

But if they had malicious intent in this regard, then they would be directly blocked outside just like the Night Swallows from before.

Now it seemed her conjecture was correct. These flying monsters migrated from other places.

It's just that because the number coming all at once was too large, it gave people a feeling of 'monsters attacking the city', which resulted in the Witches acting like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Flame Witch: "Hmm? That is to say, we can go there to select flying familiars?"

Tower Witch: "In theory, that's right."

Dream Witch: "Woohoo! Taking off!"

Witch of Moonlight: "Fools are still shouting, while the smart ones have already started packing their luggage."

Undoubtedly, there couldn't possibly be Fools among the members of this Witch Coven, which was born from that group of top-tier academic geniuses dispatched by the Supreme Council to learn Magic Array knowledge.

So this sentence from the Witch of Moonlight was basically a mockery.

As for who she was mocking, that was hard to guess.

In short.

After seeing this sentence from the Witch of Moonlight, the people of the Witch Coven all started packing one by one.

Even the impatient ones had started packing before this.

Tower Witch: "Wait! Wait! It's useless for you guys to come over now. It's better to wait two days, wait until various different flying monsters have all arrived in Typhon City, wait until the Flying Brooms at Cynthia's place are done, then it won't be too late to come over."

Seeing these guys all looking eager to try, Lan Qingyou immediately stopped them.

What a joke.

If these guys guarding the nodes all ran over, would the nodes still need people to guard them?

Tower Witch: "Also, after two days, the people of the Witch Coven will be divided into four groups, 22 people per group, staggering your arrivals to Typhon City."

...

Seeing these words from Lan Qingyou, the people of the Witch Coven finally ceased their activities.

True.

Although going over now would allow them to see those flying monsters right away, undoubtedly the ones they'd encounter would definitely be the fast-flying ones.

For people who had requirements for their familiars' speed, it might not be bad, but for them, speed wasn't the only criterion, not even the first criterion.

What everyone wanted in the first place was a flying familiar that could complement themselves, not to just 'meet once'.

So regarding Lan Qingyou's statement of 'endure for a few more days', they also very much 'understood' and accepted it.

Of course, another reason was because of the Flying Brooms.

With this thing around, who would still be willing to walk there on their legs.

Not only could they suffer a bit less, but they could also save round-trip time, why not do it.

So, some people simply went to wrap up the research they currently had on hand, while some whose research hadn't started yet simply stopped to rest for a few days first.

The most pitiful ones had to be those who were still in the middle of research.

Why?

Because they were researching, they didn't even see these messages at all.

With her mind completely at ease, Lan Qingyou simply brought Diana and Ursula, as well as the two little guys, to the tree hollow Teleportation Array.

"Clan Leader, this is..."

"This is the final destination of those flying monsters."

Lan Qingyou raised her chin and looked up at the tree canopy.

Because Lan Qingyou had been busy with various things previously, she hadn't looked here for a long time.

No... one couldn't say 'here', it should be the tree canopy.

Except for the War Treants that had already grown up sturdily, which could be seen anytime when wandering outside, Lan Qingyou hadn't checked the tops of the four surrounding trees.

But this time, after Lan Qingyou flew up and looked very carefully, she found that compared to the other four trees, including the giant tree where her own Sanctuary was located, the canopy of this giant tree was much fuller, and the horizontal branches were more numerous and larger.

The shape of the entire tree was large at the bottom and small at the top, like a huge, properly pruned ornamental pine tree.

Good-looking, and it should also be very practical.

As for that ancient tree branch that was grafted in before, she couldn't find where it was anymore.

It might have been assimilated, or it might have run into the heart of the giant tree to hide.

Anyway, judging by Lan Qingyou's Demon Eye right now, it couldn't be found, but the name of the giant tree could be seen.

Compared to those four guys next to it whose names were simply and crudely called [Giant Tree], this tree had an additional attribute, called [Roosting Giant Tree].

It was very strange.

When she teleported back a few days ago, she didn't see this change in name.

After a few days passed, this name changed.

Whether it was because the grafting time was up or for some other reason, Lan Qingyou wasn't clear, but it didn't matter.

In short, it was planted a few months ago and even had the [Witch of Thorns] Cynthia and Gu Xiaobei take turns greeting it with their talents for several rounds. Now it also had a harvest, didn't it?

Just as Lan Qingyou was thinking this, with a swish-swish, birds flew onto the tree canopy and paused.

Lan Qingyou looked closely, hey! What a coincidence!

Isn't this Steel Wool's kin, the Aurora Snowy Owl?

"Chirp chirp!"

The Aurora Snowy Owl on the tree saw Steel Wool standing on Lan Qingyou's shoulder, tilted its head and chirped, those big yellow eyes full of confusion. It looked incredibly adorable.

And Steel Wool, seeing its own kind for the first time, also tilted its head to examine these guys who looked very much like itself.

Mhm... some looked very much like itself, but some were completely snow-white, looking ugly.

"Chirp!"

Although it felt the white ones were ugly, out of curiosity, this guy still flew to the branch to observe up close.

Of course.

Even at this kind of time, it still didn't forget its good playmate, Little Spoon.
