Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 841 - 777: The Immortal Guides Me! (Part 2)
The fragmented "flowers" tried to find roots to absorb and recombine their strength, but the plants they grew on had been completely uprooted by Jiang Yuan, so they struggled for a moment before turning into withered leaves.
[Rotting Powder +1]
Jiang Yuan: !!!
Isn’t this the special material needed for building upgrades?
Previously, it could only be obtained randomly through public orders, but it turns out that uprooting the poisonous plants in dungeons can also drop it!
"Great, I’ll uproot the roots, and you kill those little monsters. Let’s clean up the poisonous plants around here first!" Finding the right way to solve the problem still couldn’t do without farming tools and basic skills, so he grabbed a shovel and started working hard.
Yan Xuan had never encountered such a situation before and nodded in agreement: "That thing just now tried to flutter, but it seemed to lose strength after losing its roots.
The stinky tree outside that just hit me should be the same; without dealing with the root, they can directly regenerate!"
After all, having lived a long time and seen a lot, with rich experience, it figured out the situation pretty quickly.
Brute force won’t work; we’ll have to take it slow!
Jiang Yuan uprooted the plants; Yan Xuan tore apart the little monsters, and the occasional loot automatically collected into the Storage Bag.
The person and the beast coordinated smoothly, the only imperfect part being the worryingly low drop rate, as it was lucky to get one special material after uprooting over a dozen plants.
After a moment, the originally flower-covered sky finally revealed a corner.
"What kind of place is this?!" Yan Xuan looked up, his pupils contracting as he posed the existential question.
Jiang Yuan was also stunned by the sight before him — different-sized "lands" floated in the "sky," all shrouded to varying degrees by black mist, some even faintly showing flashes of light and thunder.
The "lands" were connected by withered branches, resembling a tree’s leaves when viewed from above.
At the very top, a massive, long black object, like a gloom-laden "battleship," set against a circular dome, seemed like a gigantic, terrifying eye.
No wonder Yan Xuan exclaimed in shock; anyone would shiver at being watched by such a menacing "eye." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
What is that?
The war remnant suppressed by the Golden Chicken Immortal?
"Something’s falling from up there!" Yan Xuan watched for a while before remembering to capture the scene with the Memory Stone and share it in the group to open everyone’s eyes.
Then, it noticed strands of something falling from the large structure. Wherever they drifted onto the floating lands, they stirred the black mist as if competing for nourishment.
"Have you heard of the World Tree?" Jiang Yuan asked in return.
It immediately widened its eyes in shock, looking at him, "The legendary Divine Tree?! I’ve heard that all the little worlds in the Human Realm grow on a Divine Tree that only Immortals can see.
Its roots are rooted in the Netherworld, with the canopy supporting the Celestial Realm, so-called born from death, rooting in darkness to hold up the light."
Oh? This explanation almost sounds a bit romantic.
Jiang Yuan replied nonchalantly, "We’re now inside the branches of the World Tree."
Yan Xuan felt his mind buzzing, like dreaming, but it’s not a dream!
It immediately admired the host wholeheartedly, boosting its goodwill — no wonder! This is a being able to enter the World Tree!
Why cause trouble for yourself?
Suddenly enlightened, Yan Xuan excitedly shouted, "I get it! I’ve heard of small worlds collapsing, either fragmented and drifting in the Void or absorbed into unknown lands, getting polluted, or trying to merge into other small worlds.
These fragmented and scattered remnants look heavily polluted.
Not to mention, if we let these poisonous plants drift into the Wilderness World, it would surely cause chaos.
Don’t assume dealing with the Flower Demon is easy, it’s all because I’m already a Tribulation Crossing Realm Great Perfection demon beast, my robust strength is here, they can’t hurt me or resist my tearing.
But if it were ordinary demon beasts, just inhaling this poisonous pollen would completely incapacitate them.
Furthermore, the owner’s Shennong skills are extraordinary, severing and melting the roots, leaving the Flower Demon powerless to regenerate.
If we didn’t work seamlessly together, no amount of demon cultivators could overcome such wicked entities.
The World Tree should be actively absorbing these potent pollutants to protect intact small worlds, accumulating so much over time that even the Divine Tree struggles to purify them.
Look at that tiny green light at the top, I speculate it’s the core vitality of a small world.
Just like every living being has a Life Origin, worlds have their core vitality too. Once their core is destroyed or depleted, the entire world will collapse.
Based on my experience traveling the Otherworld, we’re now inside a teetering small world through the World Tree branches. So much polluted, tricky debris here is seriously threatening the core of this world.
If we can clear out all the debris, ensuring internal smoothness, this world’s barriers will gradually recover;
If not, this world won’t last long; its core vitality may get devoured or polluted, leading to irreparable doom for the whole world!"
As it spoke, its eyes grew brighter, excitedly pointing at the almost invisible faint green light, its voice trembling, "Master, you’re not just taking me to train in the Secret Realm; this is my opportunity to accumulate world-saving merit!"
Jiang Yuan: ???
Really?
Why can’t I see any green? The big black thing is too imposing to see clearly.
However, thinking carefully, it seems to have a point.
At least these fragmented debris do not seem benign, any one breaking through the world’s barriers could bring huge trouble.
"No time to waste, let’s get to cleaning!" Yan Xuan was full of enthusiasm.
It seemed to have misunderstood, thinking this is the "redemption" previously mentioned, yet Jiang Yuan didn’t clarify.
For it to develop a responsibility for "saving the world" during the process of clearing the polluted debris isn’t bad. When they finally reach the extreme cold of the Extreme North, perhaps it could willingly do the hard work and formally start the redemption journey.
Of course, if this action can really save a faltering small world, there will definitely be merits, and it won’t have worked for nothing!
One uproots the weeds and roots; the other tears apart the little monsters.
Yan Xuan’s thick red and blue stripes remain steady;
Jiang Yuan took a sip of Spirit Tea when tired and when his health bar was low thought thankfully about the system’s thoughtful digitized modifications, otherwise, just a few cups of tea back and forth could lead to numerous bathroom trips?
In Yan Xuan’s eyes, though, this only made the mysterious master increasingly admirable.
Look at him, so calm, even when the situation is urgent, leisurely sipping a cup of fragrant tea in between tasks.
The truth that Jiang Yuan used Spirit Tea as medicine never crossed its mind — from Yan Xuan’s perspective, how much Spiritual Energy could a tiny sip of Spirit Tea provide? Would it suffice for eradicating evil entities?
Moreover, there’s no Spiritual Power fluctuation from the master.
A Great Perfection Tribulation Crossing demon beast like itself couldn’t sense anything, and yet could easily obliterate these troublesome wicked entities, clearly using Immortal Power!
The more it thought, the more pleased it felt, feeling honored that an Immortal personally guided it, an opportunity it couldn’t miss!
As Jiang Yuan was contemplating how to use poisonous pollen for cover and strategize to cut off the tentacle-laden, bumpy mutated trees after destroying more than half of the poison flower fields near the edge, Yan Xuan volunteered: "Master, no need to worry, it’s just some foul smell, what’s to fear? Let me grab all those filthy things, then you can go and sever their roots."
Saying this, it transformed again into a massive entity to attract the mutated tree creatures.
This time, however, instead of futilely fighting, it feigned weakness, and when the opponent’s tentacle-like barbed branches extended, it seized them!
"How smelly!"
Jiang Yuan turned green from the stench.
This was the first time since entering the Wilderness World that fighting a monster involved enduring an assault on the senses.
Though it didn’t hurt to get hit, the stench made his health drop steadily; he certainly didn’t want to sip tea with such a nasty odor in the air, so he grabbed an axe and dashed forward, hacking away furiously!
