991 Shocked Huang Yuan and the Others

Hallucinatory Forest, Team Origin’s temporary camp.

After the battle concluded and the battlefield was cleared, Team Origin arrived at this location with the two squads led by Huang Yuan and Lu Dajiang to recuperate.

Liu Yan naturally accompanied Lu Dajiang, Huang Yuan, and others.

...

“This is our temporary camp. You can rest here tonight and focus on recuperating. We’ll discuss the rest tomorrow,” Liu Yan said.

There were still numerous matters to address regarding the fate of these two squads.

As for the remaining members in the Lighthouse Territory, he also needed to deal with them.

There were still many matters left for Liu Yan and the others to handle. These matters had to be handled well.

After all, he couldn’t afford to be careless when facing the powerful Lakon Territory. He had to take care of every detail and deal with it well.

“Alright, let’s rest first,” Lu Dajiang nodded in agreement.

Wei Feng couldn’t contain his curiosity and glanced around, saying, “So this is your temporary camp. We were curious about where you established it. We didn’t expect it to be so deep. Also, why is this area empty without any monster plants?”

Liu Qingrou was also puzzled and added, “Yes, typically the Hallucinatory Forest is teeming with monster plants. It’s rare to find an area without any. And this is such a deep part of the forest. How come there are no signs of any monster plants here?”

Ning Shanshan also wore a perplexed expression as she looked at Liu Yan. “Indeed, what’s going on?”

In response to their curiosity, Liu Yan smiled and said, “Is it possible that there are monster plants here, but you simply haven’t seen them?”

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuan analyzed the situation and said, “If there is a monster plant, it means that there is a very powerful monster plant here that can monopolize such a large territory.”

At that moment, Lu Dajiang discovered something and pointed toward the sky exclaiming, “Look, there seems to be something up there!”

Everyone turned their attention in the direction he indicated.

By now, it was already dusk, and the sky had turned completely dark.

Initially, they hadn’t paid attention to anything in the sky, so naturally, they hadn’t noticed anything.

However, upon careful observation, they realized that there was a massive tree in the sky.

The colossal ancient tree pierced through the clouds, its top obscured from view.

Under the shroud of night, it was difficult to discern its complete appearance, but one could imagine the tree’s immense size.

Wei Feng quickly surmised the situation and exclaimed with astonishment, “Previously, we were wondering how those Withered Tree Spirits helped you and targeted Team Lighthouse. Could it be that this is the Withered Tree Spirit King? I’ve heard legends about it, claiming that the Withered Tree Spirit King has existed for over a thousand years and possesses the incomparable size and terrifying strength!”

“The Withered Tree Spirit King?” Liu Qingrou uttered, her face filled with surprise. “Are you suggesting that this is the territory of the Withered Tree Spirit King, a thousand-year-old monster plant? Should we stay here, considering that?”

“But isn’t this supposed to be Team Origin’s temporary camp? How can Team Origin safely stay in a place like this?” Ning Shanshan questioned, her expression puzzled.

Huang Yuan vaguely guessed something at this time. He combined the fact that all the Withered Tree Spirits had helped Team Origin deal with Team Lighthouse. Moreover, those Withered Tree Spirits seemed to be able to listen to Team Origin’s orders.

However, thinking about this possibility was one thing, believing it was another.

Huang Yuan looked at Liu Yan in shock and said, “Liu Yan, are you telling me that this is the Withered Tree Spirit King? The previous Withered Tree Spirits were all helping you, and it was all because you were utilizing the power of the Withered Tree Spirit King, right?”

“How is this possible? This is a thousand-year-old monster plant.”

“Yeah, this kind of monster plant has terrifying intelligence. How could it easily help us?”

“Is it true?”

Upon hearing these words, the group couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

Liu Yan faced their astonishment but was not surprised.

After all, it was one thing for a thousand-year-old monster plant to be powerful, but it was extremely difficult to subdue it.

Even if one possessed enough strength to defeat such a formidable monster plant, subduing it would still be very challenging.

Liu Yan’s ability to subdue the Withered Tree Spirit King demonstrated his strength, but it was primarily because the Withered Tree Spirit King took a liking to him and chose to follow him.

In the end, Liu Yan’s success in subduing this thousand-year-old Withered Tree Spirit King also involved a certain amount of luck.

Therefore, ordinary people witnessed this scene, it was only natural for them to find it unbelievable.

Liu Yan smiled faintly and nodded, saying, “Yes, this is indeed the Withered Tree Spirit King. I can command the Withered Tree Spirits with the help of the Withered Tree Spirit King.”

Liu Yan briefly mentioned this, but he did not reveal that he had subdued the Withered Tree Spirit King.

Although Lu Dajiang and the others were relatively trustworthy, they had not yet joined the Origin Territory. Ultimately, they were still members of the Lighthouse Territory.

Hence, they were not entirely deserving of complete trust, so Liu Yan naturally refrained from directly disclosing such crucial information to them.

At the very least, Liu Yan would consider revealing everything once they joined the Origin Territory.

Upon hearing Liu Yan’s words, Lu Dajiang and the others were immediately shocked.

“So, it is a thousand-year-old monster plant, the Withered Tree Spirit King!”

“Liu Yan, how did you manage to make the Withered Tree Spirit King help you?”

“It’s not an easy task to obtain the assistance of such a thousand-year-old monster plant. Liu Yan, how did you do it?”

A few of them were puzzled and asked Liu Yan.

However, Liu Yan didn’t answer. He simply smiled mysteriously and said, “Well, I won’t disclose the specifics for now. I’ll tell you in the future. Just rest assured that the Withered Tree Spirit King won’t harm you. You can rest here peacefully tonight.”

Upon witnessing this, although they were curious, they realized that Liu Yan didn’t want to divulge any further information, so they did not mention it anymore.

Huang Yuan looked at Liu Yan strangely. He felt that Liu Yan was becoming more and more mysterious. He felt that this man had many secrets.

Huang Yuan knew that this kind of person was extremely terrifying. It was best to be comrades or at least friends. They must avoid becoming enemies, as that would lead to considerable trouble.

After all, Huang Yuan had led his squad through numerous trials and completed missions outside the Wind Barrier. He had encountered a wide range of people and situations, cultivating a certain intuition.

At this moment, Huang Yuan’s intuition told him that Liu Yan was exceedingly enigmatic and immensely powerful. He mustn’t provoke him without sufficient cause!

Subsequently, Liu Yan led everyone to the temporary camp of Team Origin for recuperation.

Most members of Team Lighthouse were oblivious to the colossal Withered Tree Spirit King.

After all, the Withered Tree Spirit King was too huge. They could not see the whole thing and could not notice it at all.

Under the cover of the night, it was difficult for them to see the spectacular scenery in the sky.

If it was an ordinary fierce beast, they would still be able to discover it if it was powerful.

However, the Withered Tree Spirit King was a thousand-year-old monster plant, coupled with the surrounding environment’s rich and concentrated wood attribute elemental powers. This allowed the Withered Tree Spirit King to conceal its presence effectively.

Huang Yuan and the members of Lu Dajiang’s squad found it even more difficult to discern this spectacle.
