Since Greya had come on her own, Angor decided not to stop her. He stopped "AFK" and slowly disappeared into thin air.
Thump, thump, thump —
The deafening sound continued to reverberate.
To Greya's ears, it was her own heartbeat.
But to the treant, it was the footsteps of a powerful enemy. It looked at the source of the noise with fear. In the distant forest, a huge shadow appeared. The shadow was a giant. It was twisting its body wildly, knocking down one tree after another as it ran towards it.
"Who is it? A Dream Plant Fairy? Or one of the evil creatures mentioned in the Mother Tree's Nightmare? " The treant assumed a defensive stance. It had no time to worry about the strange creatures around it. Its golden eyes flashed with caution.
As the footsteps got closer, the treant finally saw the true face of the giant shadow.
It was a … treant wearing a purple dress!
A treant!
Her body was round and tall, as if she had been fed with the most nutritious fertilizer. Her skin was covered in layers and had the texture of a tree. Her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky, and her red lips were as red as flames.
The treant was dumbfounded. Why was there a treant here … and such a beautiful one at that?
The treant was sure that she was a treant, but judging from her aura, she seemed to be a "living creature". Just like the other creatures around them, she was different from the Dream Plant Fairy.
"Did she just come here like those strange creatures?" The treant thought while staring at Greya with a curious gaze.
Greya, on the other hand, had no idea what was going on inside the tree's mind. She also did not expect the tree to mistake her dried skin as tree bark, which led to the tree's wrong judgment of her race.
Greya's attention was completely focused on the faint but strange fragrance in the wind that stimulated her gastric juices.
She even closed her eyes and ran toward the source of the fragrance. Saliva kept dripping from her mouth. Coupled with the strange way she was running, she looked like an alien.
But in the treant's eyes, such a giant was the most beautiful thing in the world. Greya's every step was like stepping on the treant's budding heart. The treant couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Greya finally stopped in front of the treant.
"W-who are you? I mean, can you tell me your name? "The young treant's eyes glowed with a golden light.
Greya didn't care. She kept her eyes closed and sniffed the air, which made her drool.
The treant thought Greya couldn't understand it, so it used spirit ripples to transmit its message. Through the nodes of the Mother Tree, the treant learned from the Dream Plant Fairies that the language taught them by the Mother Tree was unique to the fairies. However, the information transmitted through spiritual power allowed the Dream Plant Fairy to communicate with other living beings normally.
Greya understood the message this time, but she didn't care about it at all. After confirming the source of the fragrance, she opened her eyes and ignored the treant's huge face. Instead, she stared at the golden fruit on the branch with her beautiful purple eyes.
This golden fruit made her Gourmet Intuition crazily tell her that she was hungry.
This was the first time Greya's Gourmet Intuition went crazy ever since she became a truth-finder wizard.
It was enough to show how precious this golden fruit was.
A golden fruit? "Huh?" Greya's hungry mind suddenly cleared up for a second. This reminded her of the purpose of her visit, which seemed to be for a golden apple.
The golden fruit looked like a golden apple.
According to Leona, the apple came from a treant. A treant? Greya couldn't help but look down and saw a pair of eyes filled with complicated emotions.
It's really a treant!
Greya quickly came up with all kinds of countermeasures she could think of on her way here. Verbal, threatening, or even stealing from the treant.
Before she could figure out which one to use, the wonderful aroma of the golden apple hit her face again.
Greya's eyes were filled with intoxication again as her appetite took control of her mind.
She reached out her hand and reached for the golden apple.
On the other hand, Angor witnessed everything that happened in front of him. He was wondering why Greya suddenly came here. Now he knew the answer. Greya was following the scent.
He had to admit that Greya's sense of smell was incredible. Even though she was only using her original body in the dream wasteland and enhanced by a low-level Gourmet Cantrip, Greya could still locate the source of the golden fruits from a distance of several kilometers.
As expected of the most talented Gourmet wizard.
But no matter how talented she was, trying to pick a fruit from a treant like this was bound to be resisted.
Not long ago, when Angor was using the mother tree as his background, he found some information about this treant in the tree's records. The most precious thing about the treant was the golden fruit hanging on its branch.
According to the descriptions of the other Dream Plant Fairies, the Golden Fruit was to the Treants what the scale between the brows was to a Giant Dragon or a Psychic Horn was to a Unicorn. Even if you were a Dream Plant Fairy, if you coveted the fruit, you would receive its wrath.
Therefore, Greya was going to suffer from the tree's wrath.
Angor was already thinking about how to help Greya.
Greya's withered hand was now less than a meter away from the golden fruit. The treant also noticed Greya's intention and quickly backed away.
Angor began to feel nervous. The treant was going to fight back at any second. Should he save Greya or use the mother tree to influence the treant's mind?
It was better to control the Mother Tree and dissuade the Treants through the Mother Tree nodes that were connected to their wills.
Angor made up his mind and prepared to carry it out. However, what surprised him was that things developed in an unexpected way.
"You want my fruit, don't you? I can't give it to you yet. If you want, we can get to know each other first. At least, I need to know what you want to do with it. "
Angor was inside the mother tree's consciousness, so he could clearly hear the treant's voice.
Gentle, tolerant, and a little bit expectant.
Why was it different from the information he gathered?
Angor saw that the treant was not going to fight, so he decided to use the mother tree's consciousness to probe the treant's mind.
He couldn't read the treant's mind directly, but through the mother tree's method, Angor was able to understand the treant's mind.
But the more he understood, the more strange he felt.
He was sure that Greya would never get the fruit. But if he followed the treant's mind, Greya still had a chance.
And the reason for this was the mushroom he created for Greya!
Who would've thought that the mushroom's poisonous reaction would become Greya's cover?
In the distance, Greya also woke up a little. She was about to throw a tantrum when she heard the treant's gentle voice. She hesitated for a moment and held back her anger.
Angor watched Greya and the tree being chatted peacefully. "…"
So far, he didn't have to worry about Greya's safety for now.
Angor took a last look at the scenery in the distance and disappeared.
As for whether Greya could get the fruit or not, he didn't care.
After disappearing from the forest, he retreated from the dream wasteland and returned to reality.
Sunders and Rein would soon cross planes and arrive at Tidal Realm. Angor planned to leave this place and find a suitable place to open a plane passageway so that he wouldn't affect the other elemental creatures in Cyan Forest.
When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the small space inside the vine hut, as well as the painting of Nai Meicui looking at the starry sky.
Angor stretched his body and stood up.
He looked around and saw Nai Meicui hanging on a protruding vine. Her golden eyes were covered by a white translucent membrane.
It seemed that Nai Meicui hadn't woken up yet. She must still be talking to Rein and the others.
He didn't mind Nai Meicui's reaction and headed for the door.
When he pushed the door open, he saw a shadow landing on his shoulder. It was Toby, who was bored out of his mind.
While chatting with Toby, Angor jumped down from the top of the vine tower and landed inside the Lost Forest.
After leaving the vine tower, Nai Meicui's aura enveloped the entire Lost Forest.
The forest was as quiet as ever.
Angor didn't stay for long and quickly left the area. As soon as he stepped out of the forest, he heard a familiar chuckle.
"What are you talking about this time, little hand?"
"What little hand? You're Dangros. Can't you call me by my name? Alexander! "
"Dangros, you're wrong. It's Palisanya, not Alexander."
"Cubby! I don't need you to tell me that! I know it's Alexander! "
Angry curses and playful laughter soon reached Angor's ears.
He walked around the dry forest and followed the source of the noise. He saw his familiar friends standing on a piece of empty land.
It had been a few days since he last saw Cubby. Was it because Angor wasn't around, so Cubby didn't have to be so serious? Dangros didn't seem to have changed at all. It was still noisy, but there was a hint of sadness in its eyes. Did something happen to it recently? Or did Dangros miss his home?
As for Lobel and Velvet, they didn't notice anything unusual. They were hiding somewhere nearby. However, as mature wind creatures, their senses were much better than Cubby and Dangros'. They sensed Angor's presence when he was still a hundred meters away. They quickly moved to Angor's side like a gust of wind.
They didn't ask Angor why he didn't show up these days. Instead, they stayed by Lobel's side as usual, while Velvet turned into an invisible wind and circled around Angor's feet.
The disappearance of Lobel and Velvet finally aroused the suspicion of the two kids under the tree.
"Where did they go?" Dankros looked around in confusion. Lobel and Suling were clearly enjoying the gentle breeze by the side. Where did they go now?
Cubby didn't answer. It closed its eyes and sensed the wind's path.
After a moment of silence, Dangros heard a snort of disdain.
"Hmph. Where else can they go? They must be going to see that liar." It was Palisanya, the only tree on the black soil and the former gatekeeper of the Lost Forest.
They had been following Palisanya for a while now, so Dangros knew who Palisanya was talking to.
It was Angor!
A bright light flashed in Dankrose's eyes, and the gloomy and worried look on his face seemed to have disappeared.
He couldn't help but stand up on Palisanya's branch and look around. "Where is he? Why can't I see him? "
"Tired? Are you looking forward to meeting that big liar, little hand? "Palisanya squinted at Palisanya who was standing on the branch.
Of course, Dangros wouldn't admit it. "Don't talk nonsense, Palisanya. I'm looking forward to meeting Mister Toby!"
Palisanya said, "Heh, I've already seen through you, little hand."
Cupid: "Why did you suddenly think of Palisanya's name instead of Alexander?"
"… That's not important."
While talking to Dankros, Qiubig looked around and finally fixed his gaze in a certain direction.
Dankros followed Cubig's gaze and looked over.
In the distance, a figure slowly walked out from the miasma.
Dankros immediately recognized the newcomer. His eyes brightened up. It was Angor!
Angor approached them with a smile and greeted Dankros and Cub Bigg.
Angor didn't know what Dangros was thinking. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked at Palisanya.
Previously, he had already learned from Lobel that a few days after he left, His Highness Maoye also left due to some matters. After that, it was Palisanya who accompanied them. It didn't matter to Lobel and Soren, but the company of Palisanya made Dankros and Qiubig's personalities become more cheerful during this period of time.
"Thank you for taking care of them," Angor thanked him. After all, he was the one who brought them here.
Palisanya humphed as a response. If Nai Meicui didn't care about Angor, Palisanya wouldn't even do that.
Angor wasn't surprised by Palisanya's attitude. Back then, he tricked Palisanya into meeting Nai Meicui, and Palisanya was still holding a grudge against him.
Angor also felt a little embarrassed, so he had to accept Palisanya's attitude.
After saying a few more words of gratitude, Palisanya finally agreed to speak. However, he only responded with "hmm" and "ah".
