They saw the Golden Tree.

It was a towering giant tree.

Its crown pierced through the leaden gray clouds, roots sprawling to the edge of the horizon, and its branches flowed with molten gold-like veins, each crack bursting with starlight-like radiance. Its scale far exceeded mortal understanding, and even from perhaps hundreds or thousands of miles away, its golden silhouette still delivered a powerful visual impact.

Compared to the Golden Tree, those mysterious architectural groups that should have sparked a desire for exploration from afar paled in comparison.

But the most overwhelming feeling was the sense from the Golden Tree that could only be described as "holy."

The group gazed at the Golden Giant Tree for a long time, momentarily forgetting their dangerous situation, until Tepi finally broke the silence.

"The Dungeon, truly the most mysterious and magnificent existence, only a god could create such a miracle."

Everyone deeply agreed with this, but he then muttered to himself:

"Could we fence off the Teleportation Gate and sell tickets to it? People would surely be willing to pay to see this, right?"

"..."

Uffie shook her head, gesturing for everyone to follow. She saw a suspension bridge not far away, leading to a small hill, where there seemed to be a statue of a woman, her arms extended as if bound by something.

The only path seemed to be there, so they had no choice but to move forward.

The Golden Tree brought awe to everyone, but for Uffie, besides the awe, there was a small sense of unease in her heart.

According to her experience, the Sain Dungeon seemed particularly fond of creating spectacles, and somehow she felt that the Golden Tree had a lot of the Sain style.

"Perhaps that statue can help us understand this Dungeon."

Nervously crossing the very safe suspension bridge, they stepped onto the hill where the statue stood.

"So quiet, there’s nothing around."

Tepi remarked as he approached the statue, while Uffie remained vigilant. Just then, she suddenly sensed a strong sense of danger.

"Danger!"

She swung her spear, sending Tepi flying, and the next second, a massive figure crashed heavily where he had just been standing. Thick dust shrouded their vision, but Uffie quickly reacted, dodging a fierce thrust that pierced through the dust!

"Monster? How could it appear here!"

Fanen quickly assumed a combat stance. As the dust settled, a twisted crab-like monster appeared before them.

A closer look revealed the monster actually had a human head, and the features were quite delicate and handsome, but its body seemed to be forcibly attached to an alien body. Furthermore, many limbs were stitched onto its body, piecing together this twisted monster.

Limb-connecting noble!

"A bit disgusting," Fanen commented, noting that the limb-connecting noble was comparable to the Monstrous of Yarn.

Just then, he noticed Uffie was staring at the limb-connecting noble in a daze, wondering why she seemed lost in thought!

"Hiss..."

Uffie gasped, seeing the familiar form of the limb-connecting noble, she was reminded of the one wandering by Lake Lienia, regarded as the roaming chief, whose limbs included a shrimp head.

"Damn it..." she wanted to curse but held back.

"This is Sain!"

After so much wandering, she finally realized:

For crying out loud, Sain is actually chasing me!
