Chapter 3057: Resurrection Forest Belt
Although Bella felt that there seemed to be some problems with Shad's statement, she was not a red-haired little princess who "read a lot of books", so she didn't think about other things. She understood Shad's current situation:
"I've been feeling that you're a little too excited. Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Although Bella couldn't understand what it felt like to "can't help but get promoted", she could tell from Shad's appearance that he was really having a hard time holding back.
So the countess put her hand on Shade's back, trying to help him guide his overly restless spirit. But unexpectedly, when Shade allowed her mental power to blend with his own spirit, Bella Belindel suddenly felt like she had fallen into a turbulent sea.
She thought that as a professional fortune teller, she had an extremely strong spirit, but when she really came into contact with the current situation, she felt that she was just a helpless grass that forgot to take root in the storm.
The total amount of Xia De's spirit was still slightly less than that of the twelfth-level witch, but this time it was not a matter of the total amount of spirit. The surging spirit was operating on Xia De's body and soul, and when the fortune teller's own spirit was about to be drawn into the flow, she accidentally peeked into the depths of Xia De's soul and saw the brilliant golden light.
"Oh!"
Bella moaned softly, loosened her hand and covered her forehead. So now it was Shade who cared about her again, but the witch whispered that she was fine. When she took her hand away from her forehead, Shade clearly saw a trace of blood on her forehead, and it happened to be at the location of the beautiful birthmark.
"If you feel like you have no way to vent, try to use more energy-intensive moves."
She suggested quietly before drawing the others' attention, but she never dared to peek inside Shade again.
Although the intelligence said that ring wizards from illegal organizations such as the [Tree Hole Association] and the [Crow Association] were scattered in the woods, the woods were so large that the group did not encounter any rational humans on their way forward.
As he advanced in the darkness of the snowy night, Xia De suddenly discovered that the surrounding woodland was gradually changing from a scene full of dead trees to a scene of snowflakes hanging on green branches. After walking a few dozen steps forward, the surrounding trees all turned into the lush and lush appearance of midsummer.
This scene in the heavy snow was indeed amazing, but what was even more amazing was that in the center of this vibrant white-green area, stood a towering tree that was a hundred meters tall. So Xia De understood that what he was encountering was the "recovering forest land" area that had appeared in this area some time ago.
The church concluded that this was a sign that the remains of the World Tree were about to revive, after all, the key power of the Tree Father was "Trees and Time". The church even believed that the hundred-meter-high giant trees born in these areas would soon become tree people and cause trouble for the city as the power in the hands of the ancients.
But until the decisive battle tonight, Shade had not heard of any abnormalities in the areas where the trees were revived, and the giant trees in front of him showed no signs of revitalizing into "corrupted tree men."
Even after entering this area, the poor mental state of the ring sorcerers caused by the anomaly of time and space was alleviated a lot. "Order" took root here, maintaining the last bit of normality in the woods.
Not only did Shad notice this, the other people in the team were more seriously affected by the anomaly of time and space, so they could better understand how normal this place was.
Even the little unicorn's steps became happier after entering this area. Of course, this might also be because Shad finally noticed that Emilia drooled while sleeping and wiped off the saliva that had frozen on the unicorn's fur.
The branches of the World Tree guided everyone through the area. Shade was full of concerns. Although he saw that the group was already tired, he did not suggest taking a rest in such a place where they were not sure whether it was really safe.
However, when they approached the giant tree in the center of the green space under the leadership of Xia De, they found that there were actually people under the tree, and there were quite a few of them.
Miss Orlanoede and Sister Defulin left the team to check, and soon they gestured back to signal safety.
When the group got closer, they saw thirteen people lying under the giant tree. There was a small area under the tree without snow, and that's where they were. There were two dead bodies among the thirteen people, and the other eleven were all injured.
The two bodies were ordinary people. Judging from their attire, they were probably local hunters who were trapped in the woods because they did not receive the notification in time. Among the remaining eleven people, a middle-aged man was dressed the same as the two dead, probably a companion. The other ten people were dressed in the same way, and they were the team of Zala Liberal Arts College.
The team escorting Emilia included two professors from the Zalas Academy of Literature. They were responsible for erasing all traces of the team's progress. They also demonstrated impressive defensive skills when fighting against the carrot-nosed snowman army.
"Professor Goodwin, Professor Sif, is this the ring sorcerer from your Zalaas Academy of Literature?"
The "Nightmare Witch" Miss Maria called the two professors forward to identify them, and they easily said the names of everyone except the ordinary hunters:
"They are our people. This team is led by Professor Alberta over there, and they are responsible for detonating the mithril vein. According to the plan, they should have completed their mission a few hours ago and attracted the paradox worms away from the city."
"It should be this team. Look, Mithril Ore. This should be the sample they collected after completing the blasting mission."
Mr. Elderon squatted down to check and poured out a large pile of ore from the backpack leaning against the tree. The mithril ore in the Vista Forest has a very high mineral content, and even in such a dim environment, the surface of the ore is shining brightly.
Most of the injured and fainted people were exhausted and consumed too much energy. The few seriously injured people seemed to have been injured in the battle with the monsters in the forest. Their food and medicines were almost consumed, but they found a rough hand-drawn map, which was the movement route of the team tonight.
It's a pity that this map is of no use in the current situation.
The thing that the team escorting Emilia had no shortage of was means of healing the wounded, so after discussion, the professors from the academy in the team were to rescue the wounded, while the others were responsible for temporarily setting up a campfire and building a small camp here.
When the unconscious people under the tree opened their eyes, flames were already jumping in front of them. After a brief communication, the awakened people also told their experiences.
The story was similar to what people had guessed. After completing the task of blasting the underground mines and awakening the sleeping Zerg in advance, the team from the Zala School of Literature lured the Zerg away from the city. Although less than one-fifth of the Zerg followed them in the end, it did share some of the pressure.
The team didn't have many members, and the highest level was Professor Alberta, who had 12 rings, so they didn't plan to eliminate the small swarm of insects on their own. After going deep enough into the forest, the group escaped the attack of the paradox insects by breaking up into smaller groups. After gathering together again, they planned to return to the scheduled gathering place and join the main group.
However, while leading the swarm of insects deeper into the forest, they deviated from their original route in a panic. As the swarm of insects further awakened and the balance of time and space in the forest changed, the team could no longer find the way back in the snowy night.
But it didn't matter, after all, these teams carrying out missions in the woods had a plan to deal with this situation. Since they were temporarily separated from the main force, their mission changed to finding allies who could act together as much as possible, and destroying the monsters in the woods as much as possible while protecting themselves.
However, compared to the allies they had never encountered, the frequency with which this team encountered paradox bugs, relics, and illegal ring sorcerers was surprisingly high. After a series of battles and retreats, the team, which fought and retreated, retreated and hid, did not lose any members, but its condition was getting worse and worse.
It was at that time that they encountered three local hunters who were being attacked by tree people in the woods. When rescuing the hunters, the team was unfortunately discovered by another group of tough enemies. Finally, the exhausted team fled to this safe place and all fainted here.
"What do you know about this place? Why do you think it's safe? Or is there just no way out?"
Miss Ingram asked them, and Professor Alberta, who was in the lead, answered in the firelight:
"Before coming to this area, we had encountered similar revived forest belts in the forest. At first, we were very cautious 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 these places.
In fact, this is not our first time here. We left here once before, so we were able to find the way back here before the whole group was wiped out. "
As for why they didn't stay here after discovering this place, it was of course because no one could rest until the war was over.
The escort team then asked a few more questions, and then barely figured out that areas like this "recovery woodland" were not densely distributed in the forest, but once entering such an area, it was equivalent to getting a completely safe rest time.
The restoration of the order of time and space allows the ring warlocks to recover their mental strength through meditation, and the enemy's fear of approaching means that they can grasp the time to leave at will.
Therefore, although the team from Zala's Academy of Arts also had many concerns about the reasons for the emergence of this area, they were able to hold on until now tonight because of the existence of this area.
The escort team therefore decided to take a break here for a while, and after asking the questions, Xia De stood up from the fire and looked at the towering tree that was a hundred meters high. After hesitating for a moment, he walked under the tree and put his hand on the trunk.
