Chapter 76: Spirit Tree of Life

　　Looking at the seed information in Lin Shuang’s hand, Fatty and the others had embarrassed expressions. They wished they could find a hole to hide in. It was too embarrassing.

　　Although Qian Shanxue and Chu Feng, who were standing at the side, still had the same expression, they felt a little glad in their hearts. After all, if Lin Shuang had not taken out the seed to prove that he was not sick, the two of them would have persuaded him to go to the hospital for a checkup.

　　Fortunately, they didn’t say it. Otherwise, they would probably be so embarrassed that they would be able to dig out a three-bedroom house.

　　Looking at the awkward expressions on everyone’s faces, Lin Shuang snorted angrily. After all, they were doing this for his own good, so he didn’t argue with them. However, he did not say anything to everyone and directly instructed the mission.

　　“I’ll lead. Chu Feng, Qian Shanxue, you two protect Lu Wan. Fatty, bring up the rear. We’ll set off to the surroundings and find any living and intelligent creatures. Let’s see if we can get any clues about where Vanke is.” With that, Lin Shuang turned around and left, ignoring the embarrassed crowd.

　　Fatty and the others watched as Lin Shuang left first. They did not care about anything else and followed the other party’s instructions. After arranging themselves in formation, they quickly followed Lin Shuang.

　　Everyone shuttled through the forest for more than ten minutes. During this period, they encountered many wild monsters corroded by dark energy. But it was either plants or violent, bloodthirsty, and irrational dark creatures. They hadn’t found any clues about Vanke.

　　Just as Lin Shuang casually killed another wild monster that had fallen into darkness, Lu Wan, who was walking in the middle of the team, suddenly felt a holy light power that was about to dissipate. “Lin Shuang, I sensed a dissipating holy light energy less than a thousand meters northwest of us. Should we take a look?”

　　Hearing Lu Wan’s question, Lin Shuang pondered for a moment and decided to go take a look. “Let’s go over and take a look. We won’t know until we’re there. Anyway, we’re flying around like headless flies. We might have an unexpected gain if we go take a look.”

　　With that, Lin Shuang led everyone towards the direction Lu Wan had sensed.

　　A thousand meters passed in the blink of an eye under everyone’s powerful physique. In less than a minute, they arrived at the place where Lu Wan had sensed the holy light energy.

　　A towering tree that was incompatible with the surroundings stood on the dark brown ground. Around it, hundreds of Level 25 creatures that looked like hyenas were looking for different opportunities to attack the tree.

　　The holy light energy Lu Wan sensed was the holy light barrier protecting the towering tree.

　　[The Dark Hound]

　　[Level: 25]

　　[Health: 5,000]

　　[Defense: 200]

　　[Agility: 300]

　　[Skills: Dark Flame Bullet, Fiery Poison Claw]

　　[Introduction: A Magic Hound that has fallen into the darkness. It is aggressive, bloodthirsty, and likes to attack in groups. It is terrifying alone. Once it forms a group, they will dare to provoke a dragon.]

　　[Spirit Tree of Life]

　　[Level: 28]

　　[Health: 500/100,000]

　　[Defense: 3,000]

　　[Skills: Healing Light, Spiritual Holy Light]

　　[Introduction: Originally a Spirit Tree of Life at the peak of its growth and had a powerful affiliated spiritual army, but under the corrosion of time and dark energy, the affiliated spiritual army had long decayed and was on the verge of death. After its death, it would condense a Source of Life.]

　　[After wearing it, the effect of the healing skill could be doubled. One who obtains the approval of the Spirit Tree of Life before it dies will obtain its final gift.]

　　Looking at the attributes of the towering tree in the Holy Light Barrier, Lin Shuang and the others were shocked.

　　The attributes of the Spirit Tree of Life were really too strong. If they encountered the Spirit Tree of Life in the outside world, not to mention approaching it, they might not even be able to see its true body.

　　“Everyone, you have seen the attributes of the Spirit Tree of Life. If it was in the Main World, it would definitely not be something we can touch. But now that we’ve encountered it, we can’t miss it. Once Lu Wan wears the Source of Life, its support effect will definitely be extremely explosive.”

　　As soon as Lin Shuang finished speaking, Fatty rushed out of his hiding place and shouted as he ran. “Then why are we still hiding here! Kill them!!”

　　Looking at Fatty, who had already rushed into the Dark Hounds with a spear in his hand, Lin Shuang and the others had helpless expressions. However, for Fatty’s safety, they also rushed out of their hiding places and began to eliminate the Dark Hounds.

　　Although the level of the hundreds of Dark Hounds was high, Lin Shuang and the others’ damage was not low with the enhancement of their equipment. In less than ten minutes of the battle, the Dark Hounds were all killed by Lin Shuang and his team.

　　Looking at the Blue and Purple grade equipment all over the ground, Lin Shuang was not in the mood to check the specific information. He asked Fatty to put away all the drops. He began to study how to open the barrier of Holy Light and enter it.

　　“Lu Wan, you also have holy light energy. Can you undo this barrier or do you have a way to enter it?”

　　Lu Wan, who had been called out by Lin Shuang, used her holy light energy to sense it. After sensing the energy inside the holy light barrier, she slowly shook her head. “Lin Shuang, because the Holy Light energy of the Holy Light Barrier is far higher than my level, I can’t enter it or come into contact with it.”

　　Lu Wan’s words dumbfounded Lin Shuang. He originally thought that as long as they destroyed all the Dark Hounds, the Spirit Tree of Life would be theirs. However, they did not expect that even though they had destroyed the Dark Hounds, they could only look at the Spirit Tree of Life that was one step away from them and do nothing.

　　Just as Lin Shuang and his team were wondering if they should directly blow up the Holy Light Barrier, an old and kind voice suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears. “Young adventurers, I am the Spirit Tree of Life in front of you. I am very grateful to you for destroying all the Dark Hounds for me, allowing me to continue living for a while.

　　“But I don’t have long to live. There must be a reason why you came to this sealed small world. Although I’ve long decayed and have been trapped here for a long time, I still know most of what happened in the Forest of Arcane.

　　“Therefore, adventurers, if you have any questions, ask. As long as I know, I will tell you without holding back. Take it as a thank-you gift for eliminating the Dark Hounds.”

　　Everyone was shocked by the sudden voice of the Spirit Tree of Life. After it finished speaking, they reacted and asked it.

　　“Hello, our mission here is to save a little boy who accidentally entered this place a few days ago. Do you know where he is?”

　　A few minutes after Lin Shuang asked, the voice of the Spirit Tree of Life sounded again. “I know the boy you’re talking about. I met him a few days ago. He’s hiding in a small cave at the easternmost side of the Forest of Arcane.

　　“But because he has been hunting dark creatures frequently recently, his location has already alarmed other dark creatures. More and more dark creatures have begun to arrive at his location.”
