The tree even had a sacred glow to it. When Mofan first saw the magnificent tree, he thought it was a gift from nature, as if the tree was protecting something. However, nature did not mention anything about it. The tree's beauty and holiness were merely a figment of man's imagination. It did not exist for any purpose. It strictly obeyed nature's core principle, the survival of the fittest!
"The Giant Purple Sacred Linden … I didn't expect it to come all the way here!" Mofan clenched his fists and stared at the Giant Purple Sacred Linden on a towering mountain.
"Didn't Yan Shi kill it? Doesn't that mean there's another one in the Heaven of Winged Beasts …" Zhao Manyan said.
"It had nine trunks. Yan Shi and the Moon Moth Phoenix have cut down eight of them, leaving only one," Mofan said.
"No wonder, the tree is still a distance away from the real Giant Purple Sacred Linden. It's only a ninth of it!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
However, even one-ninth of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden was still as majestic as ever. It was a sacred tree that reached the Ashwood Wind Layer in the Heavenly Woods. It could be said that it was standing side by side with the other mountains, pointing into the sky.
"You know what it is?" Zhang Xiaohou was surprised. It was Mofan and Zhao Manyan's first time in the Qinling Mountains. How did they know about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden?
The purple Giant Purple Sacred Linden was one of the main trees in the Heaven of Trees. Together with thirteen other Giant Purple Sacred Lindens, it formed the main pillars of the Ashwood Wind Stratum. It must have been there for a long time!
"It's a demon," Mofan briefly described his experience on Mount Kunyu to Zhang Xiaohou.
Zhang Xiaohou was astounded after hearing about Mofan's experience on Mount Kunyu.
"We were here half a year ago. There was another team that tried to climb up from the purple divine tree, but we lost contact with them not long after. We still don't know how they died." Zhang Xiaohou said in a low voice.
Zhang Xiaohou had a deep impression of the purple Sacred Wood. Now that he knew its true appearance, he immediately thought of the encounter of the small team that had arrived here with him …
"It's very likely that the demon ate them. The demon uses fresh blood to nourish itself. I remember it wasn't as strong as it is now when it ran away. Its roots must have absorbed a lot of nutrients while it was hiding in the Qinling Mountains, "Mofan said.
"We can't let it continue to exist in this world. Once it grows out of its roots, it will most likely show up close to a human city. If no one discovers its true identity, many people will end up as its nutrients," Ling Ling said sternly.
The incident on Mount Kunyu still left a lingering fear in her heart. If it weren't for Yan Shi, a half Forbidden Mage, trying her best to kill the demon, there was no telling how many innocent people would have died in the Yantai area!
"Mofan, don't you think something isn't right? Why did we stumble into it here? "Zhao Manyan asked sternly.
"It's not just a coincidence, this place is most likely the Giant Purple Sacred Linden's nest. Yan Shi and Jiang Xia must have discovered the Giant Purple Sacred Linden here, and brought back the Enforcement Union's Tree of Vows," Mofan said.
"That's reasonable!" Zhao Manyan nodded.
Ling Ling twisted her lips. Wasn't it obvious enough? Did they really have to make such a serious deduction?
"But that thing isn't going to be easy to deal with, is it?" Yu Shishi said.
Even though eight of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden's roots had been slain, the remaining one was still a terrifying existence, not to mention the winged beasts living on it.
"If the people of the Violet Imperial Battalion are still here, we might have a chance to take down the Giant Purple Sacred Linden with their help!" Mofan said.
If the Giant Purple Sacred Linden was their only concern, they might have a chance against it. However, the Giant Purple Sacred Linden was a huge threat to them. They would not be able to rest easy if they did not kill it.
Besides, killing the Giant Purple Sacred Linden would be fulfilling Yan Shi's dying wish.
"(Sigh), why don't we just go around it and climb up another tree?" Zhao Manyan sighed.
They suddenly heard a soft noise while they were struggling to come up with a better idea.
Apas was on high alert. Her eyes flickered as she stared at the cluster of vines a hundred meters away from them.
The sound was coming from the vines. It was approaching them too.
A charcoal-faced man suddenly came out from the vines and scanned his surroundings cautiously. He was overjoyed when he saw Mofan and the others not far away.
"You're here, how fortunate!" The charcoal-faced man jumped out from the vines and went up to them.
Mofan was confused. Why was the Violet Imperial Battalion here? He clearly saw them leaving in a different direction. Didn't they say they were going to part ways?
"Why are you here? How did you find us?" Zhao Manyan snapped.
"Tracking is one of the skills I'm quite good at. Basically, we're in a bit of trouble. We're hoping you can help us, "the charcoal-faced man said.
"Are you kidding me? We didn't even charge you a single cent for bringing you here. It's like we're asking for your life just to thank us, and you're asking us to help you now?" Zhao Manyan said.
"What happened?" Mofan asked.
"It's like this, Commander Ling Fei was in a hurry to save someone. She startled a flock of Skyice Winged Birds and trapped us inside a tree. The Skyice Winged Birds kept using freezing techniques to seal us inside the tree … I used my Shadow Element ability to escape, "said the tanned soldier.
"You don't know anything about the Qinling Mountains, yet you're still so reckless. It's only a matter of time before you end up like this. Those Skyice Winged Birds aren't easy to deal with. We have other things to attend to. I think Major General Li Dexin should figure out a way himself, "Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Major General Zhang …" the charcoal-faced man didn't expect Zhang Xiaohou to reject his offer so decisively.
"Have you found the person you're trying to save?" Mofan asked.
"We have, but …" the charcoal-faced man was lost for words. He was obviously not good with words. As a matter of fact, the charcoal-faced man did think Li Dexin had crossed the line.
"We'll go with you, but we're risking our lives to save you. Once you're safe, I hope you can do us a favor," Mofan said.
Speak of the devil. Mofan did not expect the Violet Imperial Battalion to show up just when he was thinking about them.
Actually, Mo Fan also knew that with Zhang Xiaohou's personality, he wouldn't leave someone in the lurch. Furthermore, they were both soldiers …
However, since they were going to lend a hand, they had to get something out of it!
With the help of the experts of the Violet Imperial Battalion, they had a chance to castrate the Giant Purple Sacred Linden's last lifeline!
"Not a problem, it's only right that we help one another out!" the charcoal-faced man replied.
…
The charcoal-faced man was leading the way. The man was quite impressive. It was easy to lose track of him as they weaved through the complicated woods and vines.
"Yu Shishi, isn't the Giant Purple Sacred Linden related to your Moon Moth Phoenix too?" Mofan asked when he remembered the Giant Purple Sacred Linden.
"If we can kill the Giant Purple Sacred Linden and retrieve its Sacred Linden Leaves, the Moon Moth Silkworm can skip the pupa phase and turn into a moth," Yu Shishi said.
The Moon Moth Phoenix and the Giant Purple Sacred Linden were mortal enemies. The Moon Moth Phoenix was the one that had saved Yu Shishi's life. Yu Shishi would feel a lot more relieved if she could avenge the Giant Purple Sacred Linden in her previous reincarnation. Besides, the Sacred Linden Leaves of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden were extremely beneficial to the Moon Moth Silkworm. They were a thousand times better than the leaves of the Moon Mulberry Tree!
"Doesn't that mean the little thing will turn into an adult Totem Beast?" Mofan blurted out in surprise.
"She's still a little weaker than the strongest Moon Moth Phoenix. She can only be called a little Moon Moth Phoenix," Yu Shishi said.
"That's not bad. Isn't it a Ruler-level creature?" Mofan said.
"Mm," Yu Shishi nodded.
"That means our Fanxue Mountain will have a Ruler-level Guardian Totem Beast!" Mofan blurted out in excitement.
There were so many cities, big and small. Apart from Hangzhou, which had the Mysterious Serpent, where else would be protected by totems?
Since Yu Shishi had taken root in Fanxue Mountain, her Moon Moth Phoenix would treat Fanxue Mountain as her home, too …
"Kill it! We have to kill the Giant Purple Sacred Linden while it's still weak! "
The Giant Purple Sacred Linden had been severely injured by Yan Shi. It was currently at its weakest. Judging from the fact that some of its leaves had regrown, the Giant Purple Sacred Linden was able to recover its strength.
It would be impossible to kill the Giant Purple Sacred Linden once it recovered its nine trunks!
As such, they had to eliminate the Giant Purple Sacred Linden here and now. The creature must be full of treasures!
Perhaps they could find something useful from the Giant Purple Sacred Linden that could help them achieve the Super Level before they could find the Tree of Vows!
"It's just ahead," the tanned soldier said.
Mofan was still immersed in his thoughts about the Giant Purple Sacred Linden. When he collected his thoughts, he saw the plants around him were frozen in a thick layer of frost. Even the wind blowing in from the outside was bone-chilling.
"There are a lot of them," Apas reminded Mofan.
Mofan looked at Zhang Xiaohou. He was curious if Zhang Xiaohou had any ideas on how to deal with the Giant Purple Sacred Linden.
"When a flock of Skyice Winged Birds appears, there will always be a leader among them. I'll lure the leader away while the rest of you run away. Just don't get involved with them," Zhang Xiaohou said.
