Chapter 31 The Silver Tree

The next few days passed without incident. Just to be on the safe side, Jolian ended up making more than 500 magnetic storm mines. It was quite reasonable that each of the other three people got 100 and she got 200.

Of course, as promised, she taught Wumulian a set of boxing techniques.

As for how much she could understand, it depended on herself...

Just like that, the day of the commission in [The Underworld Land] finally arrived.

The four of them packed their luggage and boarded the train to their destination...

[The Underworld Land] is located in the second half of [The Quiet Forest], but there is no direct train, so they have to get off halfway and walk there.

"I really hate commissions in such strange places!" Zuo Meng lay on Yimansha's suitcase and muttered silently.

If she came alone, she would definitely get lost again.

"Hold on a little longer. In two hours, we'll reach [The Evil Ghost Mountain Range]."

Yimansha comforted everyone, but she kept looking around, on guard at any time.

"By the way, Yimansha, before we left, Ms. Vissel told me that the enemy we might face this time could be [The Silver Tree]? She told us to be more careful?"

Jolian asked with some confusion, because the person concerned didn't tell her what [The Silver Tree] was!

"Hmm..." Yimansha nodded. Understanding what she wanted to ask, she explained, "[The Silver Tree] is an evil organization similar to [The Evil Ghost] Guild.

"The difference is that they are not a guild and have no leader. They are all made up of fanatical believers of Endria.

"Almost all the members in it are crazy. Their pursuit is to create the ideal country described in the book!"

"And that book is [The Book of Endria]!"

"Hmm?" Jolian was even more confused after hearing this. "Isn't that book the Book of Answers? There's no description of other countries in it, right?"

"No..." Yimansha shook her head. "When you read [The Book of En...], did you notice that it flips pages automatically and always stops at very early pages?"

"Because the second half of this book is about the ideal country, a distorted and absurd world.

"There are no humans there, or rather, humans have evolved into gods!"

"Evolved into gods? That sounds good. Isn't the end goal of our Saint's Legacy magic cultivation to become new gods?" Wumulian interjected.

"It's not that kind of god." Yimansha glanced at Jolian somewhat subtly. "You should know the monsters we hunt. The gods in the ideal country are those that turn humans into that kind of monster!"

"No way!" Everyone's eyes widened. Turning into that kind of monster...

"So people from [The Silver Tree] are all crazy. In order to achieve this goal, they don't hesitate to use innocent children for human experiments."

"That is, injecting monster cells into people's bodies!"

"People will die quickly because they can't resist the monster cells..."

"But those who resist will turn into those half - human, half - ghost monsters! Although they still look human on the surface, their lifespan is only 30 years! And they may be devoured at any time and turn into real monsters!"

Jolian was a bit stunned. Could the original owner be a monster transformed by [The Silver Tree]?

"What will happen when they turn into real monsters? And how can we tell who are the people transformed into monsters?"

Wumulian was a little scared. She suddenly felt that the world was in danger.

"Monsters transformed from humans are stronger and more bloodthirsty than ordinary monsters... As for how to tell... Well..."

"There is a rumor that [The Book of En... ] can identify them. Because such humans are depraved and abandoned, so the Book of Answers can't turn pages in front of them!"

"Ugh... This method is no different from not saying anything. That book can't be controlled by anyone except its author." Zuo Meng muttered.

The pink - haired girl said, "But come to think of it, since this kind of organization is so evil, why doesn't [The Saint Association] step in and do something?"

"Ugh, matchstick. I thought you were just flat - chested and brainless, but I didn't expect you to be this brainless. Have you heard the saying 'wildfires can't burn them all'? That kind of organization doesn't even have a leader. They're all crazy people forming gangs freely. How can we kill them all? Unless..."

"Red - haired pumpkin, just talk! Why are you attacking me personally!"

"Matchstick, you're no better!"

As they were talking, the two started arguing again. In contrast, Qiao Lian was surprisingly quiet.

If [The Book of En... ] can't be viewed by the transformed people, then what about her?

And Yimansha just mentioned that the automatic page - turning of [The Book of En... ] always stops at very early pages.

But when Jolian checked this book... it clearly turned to the last few pages?

What on earth is going on? What exactly is she?

Two hours later, everyone finally arrived at their destination of this trip - [The Underworld Land].

"W - what on earth... happened here!"

Wumulian stared blankly at the huge blood - colored vortex condensing in the sky and said.

"It's the Life Alchemy Formation!" Yimansha clenched her teeth. There wasn't much time left for them.

"Wait, it shouldn't have been fully activated yet!" Jolian pointed at the four columns of light that shot up into the sky and continuously converged towards the vortex. "Those should be the energy sources for the operation of the formation."

"If we destroy them, we can temporarily shut down the formation!"

Wumulian said, "Ah, just temporarily? Then what shall we do later? Won't it start up again?"

Hearing this, Zuo Meng couldn't help but kick her.

"Can't you learn a bit of alchemy? You're a Saint's Legacy, after all. Once the formation is shut down, can't we go and destroy the Life Alchemy Formation? This is our mission!"

"I just forgot... Besides, it's not my fault... I really can't learn alchemy..." The pink - haired girl rubbed her sore knee from the kick and said with a hint of grievance.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking nonsense." Yimansha looked at everyone with a serious expression. "There's not much time left. Next, we need to act separately. Each person is responsible for destroying one energy core..."

"Then we'll meet in the center of the formation. But we might be stopped by the crazy people from [The Silver Tree]. If you can't handle it, please retreat immediately. Your lives come first!"

"[The Other Shore] can't lose any of you!"

"Okay, okay~"

Hearing that there would be a fight, and it was against the crazy people from [The Silver Tree], Wumulian's fighting spirit flared up instantly.

"Emperor of Ice, don't be too nervous. We're all the strongest fighters in the guild this time. It should be them who need to think about how to save their lives."

"Matchstick, don't be careless!"

"Got it, got it." The pink - haired girl waved her hand. "Then I'll go destroy the one in the east, and we'll meet in the center!"

"Then I'll go to the west." Zuo Meng also spoke up.

Jolian chose the north, and Yimansha chose the south.

After everything was decided, everyone separated and rushed towards the energy cores.

Before leaving, Zuo Meng suddenly called out to Wumulian, "Matchstick! Don't die!"

"I should be the one saying that, Red - haired Pumpkin!" The pink - haired girl looked at her seriously for a rare moment. "If you die, I'll be really bored in the future."
