Chapter 3010

Although feeling that Xia De's statement seemed to have some problems, Bella was not the red-haired little princess who "read a lot of books," so she didn't think of other things. She understood Xia De's current situation:

"I have felt that you are too excited since just now. Endure a little longer, we are almost there."

Although Bella couldn't understand what it felt like to "can't help but want to promote," she knew he was really enduring very hard when she saw Xia De's appearance.

So the Countess put her hand on Xia De's back, trying to help him guide the overly restless spirit. But she didn't expect that when Xia De let her spiritual power blend with his own spirit, Bella Belindell felt like she had fallen into a surging sea in an instant.

She considered her spirit as a professional Diviner to be extremely tenacious, but when she really touched the current situation, she felt that she was just a helpless little grass that forgot to take root in the storm.

The total amount of Xia De's spirit was slightly less than that of the Twelve-Tier Great Witch, but this time it was not a problem of the total amount of spirit. That surging spirit operated based on Xia De's body and soul, and when the Diviner's spirit seemed to be drawn to flow, when she accidentally peered into the depths of Xia De's soul, she saw that bright golden light.

"Oh!"

She groaned softly and let go of her hand and covered her forehead. So at this moment, it became Xia De who cared about her, but the witch whispered that she was fine. When she took her hand off her forehead, Xia De clearly saw a bloodstain on her brow, and it happened to be at the position of that beautiful birthmark.

"If you feel that you have nowhere to vent, try to use more moves that consume a lot,"

she suggested in a low voice before attracting others' attention, but she never dared to peek into Xia De's interior again.

Although the intelligence said that Ringed Shushi of illegal organizations such as 【Tree Hole Society】 and 【Crow Association】 were scattered in the forest, this forest was so large that the group did not bump into humans with reason on the way forward.

It was when moving forward in the darkness of the snowy night that Xia De suddenly found that the forest around was gradually transitioning from a scene full of dead trees to a scene with branches full of green and snow. Continuing to walk forward for dozens of steps, the trees around all turned into the lush appearance of midsummer.

This scene in the sky full of snow was indeed amazing, but what was even more amazing was that in the center of this vibrant white-green area stood a towering giant tree a hundred meters high. So Xia De understood that what he encountered now was the "Resurrected Forest" area that had appeared in this area one after another some time ago.

At that time, the church concluded that this was a sign that the remains of the World Tree were about to resurrect. After all, the key power of the Tree Father was "Tree and Time." The church even believed that the hundred-meter-high giant trees born in these areas would become tree people in the near future and create trouble for the city as the power in the hands of the Ancient One.

But until the great decisive battle tonight, Xia De had not heard of any abnormalities in these tree resurrection areas, and the giant tree in front of him did not show any signs of becoming a "corrupted tree person."

Even after entering this area, even the bad mental state of the Ringed Shushi caused by time-space anomalies was reduced a lot. "Order" took root firmly here, maintaining the final normality between the forests here.

Not only Xia De noticed this, but others in the team were more seriously affected by time-space anomalies, so they could understand how normal it was here.

Even the little unicorn's footsteps were much more cheerful after stepping into this area. Of course, this might also be because Xia De finally found that Emilia was drooling when sleeping, and wiped off the saliva that had frozen on the unicorn's hair.

The branches of the World Tree guided the group through this area. Xia De was full of worries. Although he saw that the group was tired, he did not suggest taking a temporary rest in such an area where it was uncertain whether it was really safe.

However, when they approached the giant tree in the center of the green space under Xia De's leadership, they found that there were people under the tree, and quite a few people.

Miss Oulannuode and Sister Daifulin then left the team to check, and after a while, they gave a safety gesture to the back.

And after the group really approached, they saw a total of thirteen people lying under the giant tree. There was no snow in a small area under the tree, and they were there. Among the thirteen, there were two corpses, and the other eleven were all injured.

The two corpses were ordinary people. Judging from their dress, they should be local hunters. They were probably trapped in the forest without receiving the notice in time. Among the remaining eleven, one middle-aged man and the two deceased were dressed the same, probably companions, and the other ten were in uniform attire, which was the team of the Zaras Literature Academy.

The escort team for Emilia had two professors from the Zaras Literature Academy. They were responsible for erasing the traces of everyone's march in the team, and also showed a good defensive miracle when fighting the snowman army with carrot noses just now.

"Professor Goodwin, Professor Sif, is this the Ringed Shushi of your Zaras Literature Academy?"

Miss Maria, the "Nightmare Witch," greeted the two professors to come forward to identify, and they easily said the names of everyone except the ordinary hunters:

"It is our people. This team is led by Professor Alberta over there, responsible for the detonation of the mithril vein. According to the plan, they should have completed the task a few hours ago and attracted the Paradox Worms to move away from the city..."

"It should be this team, look, mithril ore, this should be the sample collected after they completed the blasting task."

Mr. Eldron, who squatted down to check, poured out a pile of ore from the backpack leaning against the tree. The mithril ore content in Vista Forest was very high. Even in such a dim environment, the surface of these ores had shiny light.

And the reason why these people were injured and fainted was mostly exhaustion and excessive consumption of spirit. The only few seriously injured people looked like they were injured in the battle with monsters in the forest. Their food and medicine were almost consumed, but they found a rough hand-drawn map later, which was the movement route of this team tonight.

It's a pity that in the face of the current situation, this map was of no use.

The escort team for Emilia was not short of healing methods, so after discussion, the professors from the academy in the team woke up the wounded, and others were responsible for temporarily setting up campfires and building small camps here.

And when the people who fainted under the tree opened their eyes, the flames were already jumping in front of them. After simple communication, the awakened people also told their experiences.

The story was about the same as what people guessed. After completing the task of blasting the underground mineral vein and waking up the sleeping insect swarm in advance, this team of the Zaras Literature Academy lured the insect swarm to move away from the city. Although the insects following them were less than one-fifth, they shared part of the pressure after all.

The number of team members was not large, and the highest level was Professor Alberta, who was a Twelve-Ringer, so they didn't intend to eliminate that small insect swarm by their own strength. After going deep enough into the forest, the group used the means of breaking into pieces to get rid of the attack of the Paradox Worms. After re-gathering, they intended to return to the scheduled assembly point to meet with the main force.

It's just that during the period of luring the insect swarm deep into the forest, they deviated from the original marching route in a panic. And with the further awakening of the insect swarm and the change of the time-space balance in the forest, this team could no longer find the way back in the snowy night.

But this didn't matter, after all, these small teams performing tasks in the forest originally had plans to deal with this situation. Since they were temporarily separated from the main force, their task was changed to finding allies who could act together as much as possible, and eliminating monsters in the forest as much as possible while preserving themselves.

It's just that compared to allies they never met, the frequency of this team encountering Paradox Worms, relics, and illegal Ringed Shushi was shockingly high. After a series of battles and retreats, the team that fought and retreated, retreated and hid, although there were no casualties, the state was getting worse and worse.

It was also at that time that they met three local hunters who were being attacked by tree people in the forest. When rescuing the hunters, the team was unfortunately discovered by another group of difficult enemies. In the end, the exhausted team fled to this safe place and fainted here.

"How much do you know about this place? Why do you think it is safe? Or is it just that you can't walk anymore?"

Miss Ingram asked them, and Professor Alberta, the leader, answered in the firelight:

"Before coming to this area, we also encountered similar resurrection forest belts in the forest. At first, we were also very vigilant and didn't dare to approach easily, but after discovering that the monsters in the forest didn't dare to enter such areas, we tried to repair in these places.

In fact, this is not the first time we have come here. We left here once before, so we could find the way back here before being wiped out."

As for why they didn't stay here after discovering it, that was of course because no one could rest before the end of this war.

Subsequently, the people in the escort team asked a few more questions, and then barely figured out that the distribution of areas similar to this "Resurrected Forest" in the forest was not dense, but once entering such areas, it was equivalent to obtaining complete rest time.

The restoration of the time-space order could allow Ringed Shushi to restore spiritual power through meditation, and the fact that enemies didn't dare to approach meant that they could grasp the timing of departure at will.

Therefore, although this team of the Zaras Literature Academy also had many concerns about the reasons for the appearance of such areas, they could persist until now tonight, indeed because of the existence of such areas.

The escort team then decided to rest here temporarily, and Xia De, who had finished asking questions, stood up from the fire, looked at the hundred-meter-high towering tree again, hesitated for a moment, walked under the tree, and put his hand on the trunk.
