Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 312 Ancient Tree Spirit Sage

“Ancient Tree Man Sage.” Delapour gazed at the enormous tree-like shadow rising from the ground in the distance.

Compared to other tree beings, the tree beings that Delapour calls the ancient tree beings sages are not only much larger, but also have various ornaments hanging on their trunks and branches.

“No wonder the gaze of impure gods is called a calamity,” Delapour said helplessly.

He never expected that even ancient tree spirits and sages would appear.

This tree-man is very likely the first tree-man to emerge when the Hunting Moon dwelled in the Moon Marsh.

Both their strength and lifespan are extremely terrifying.

All the tree-people in the Moon Swamp are, without exception, its offspring.

Delapour was truly unsure of himself now.

Fortunately, the ancient tree-man sages are still quite far from them.

There is still room for easing tensions.

As long as you avoid direct conflict with the other party, with the protection of the Cat Goddess, the success rate of leaving is not low.

However, they should deal with the surrounding trees first.

These tree-people, even if they are not as big as the ancient tree-people sages, are still extremely robust.

It's almost like a giant, and it's extremely ferocious when it fights.

However, the Norris family and their cats, who had just received the blessing, were not exactly innocent.

With its curved blades, spears, claws, and tail, a focused barrage of fire can easily kill a treant.

Some Norris people even skillfully extracted a bright green tree heart from the center of the tree-man's body and then carefully placed it away.

This wasn't their first time fighting treants.

After all, if you travel through the Moon Marsh for trade many times, you're bound to encounter treants once or twice.

In Chu Danqing's eyes, the cooperation between the Norris family members and their cats was nothing short of perfect.

The connection between humans and cats is almost telepathic; their tactics don't even require commands.

If no one had spoken up, Chu Danqing would have suspected that someone was directing things.

When Xiong Zhigang and his scribes worked together to command, the soldiers under his command were also able to reach this level.

Guo Ming and Da Bao did not make a move; the two of them held Chu Danqing and Yang Qianyuan firmly in their arms.

The scene is too chaotic now, and the protection of the Cat Goddess that the Norris family caravan possesses is somewhat ineffective at this time.

Not to mention that neither of them could really place all their hopes on outsiders.

"Are you confident in dealing with the ancient tree spirit sage?" Chu Danqing asked Guo Ming.

Guo Ming shook his head, meaning he had no confidence at all.

Not to mention him, even if the Lord of Taiping Dao came, it wouldn't work.

With that kind of strength, they simply couldn't compete with them.

As for the specific rank, Chu Danqing had no idea.

He's only at level 1, so he has absolutely no authority to know the subsequent rank information.

If you want to know, you can spend a lot of money to buy it from a broker or a powerful figure.

Because it involves purchasing from different price levels, the price will be very high.

"Mr. William, stay with the group and don't fall behind. We're about to charge!" Delapour slashed down a tree-man with his scimitar, then, after getting his bearings, said to Chu Danqing.

Delapour noticed that the ancient tree spirit sages had fully recovered and their gazes were fixed on them.

“Okay!” Chu Danqing said.

On the other side, Yang Qianyuan was about to begin his divination, but Chu Danqing stopped him with lightning speed.

"It's not the right time yet," Chu Danqing said softly. He understood that now was not a good opportunity.

The Moon Swamp is the territory of the Hunting Moon. Yang Qianyuan is about to conduct a celestial divination, and he will definitely repeat the same mistake as before.

No, it will most likely be more serious, and could result in immediate death.

Therefore, Chu Danqing could not allow him to take the risk.

Yang Qianyuan was still willing to listen to advice, after all, he had to follow Chu Danqing's orders during the trial mission.

Then, the entire caravan seemed to be united by an invisible force, and even Guo Ming couldn't help but move along with the group.

The caravan traveled at a very fast pace, but there was no discomfort whatsoever.

Even ordinary people like Rudolf were able to unleash speeds far exceeding those of normal humans under the influence of this force.

"It seems that someone is fighting with the ancient tree spirit sage." Yang Qianyuan's gaze sharpened. He did a little divination and confirmed the result.

Fortunately, he left immediately without making any further in-depth deductions, and therefore did not suffer any backlash.

No sooner had he finished speaking than everyone saw a figure rush out from under the moonlight and land on the canopy of the ancient tree spirit sage.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp glint flashed, and a bald patch was torn off the crown of the ancient treant sage.

Before any further action could be taken, the ancient treant sage's tree hand grabbed the figure.

He pinched it under everyone's gaze.

Then there is no more.

Anyway, all Chu Danqing and the others saw was that once the ancient tree spirit sage let go, the figure never came out again.

If nothing unexpected happens, he'll end up as a pile of minced meat stuck to the ancient treant sage's hand.

This scene sent a chill down Rudolf's spine.

Compared to the ancient tree-man sages, the rice grains are simply not on the same level.

Of course, if you include the feeder statues, that's a different story.

Even Delapour's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The power of the ancient tree-man sage exceeded his imagination.

Based on his experience, the person or mythical creature who had just shaved off the tree crown was no less powerful than him. Yet, even so, he was swatted to death like a fly.

The fate of their own Norris family caravan will probably be not much different.

Not to mention that they themselves were the other party's primary target.

“Even the goddess’s protection cannot ensure our safe departure from the Moon Swamp.” Delapour’s gaze turned to Chu Danqing.

“Me? I can’t do anything about it either.” Chu Danqing understood what Delapour meant.

But what can he do?

“Mr. William, the goddess favors you greatly. If you take the lead, perhaps a miracle will occur,” Delapour said.

Anyway, the Norris family had been worshipping them for so many years without any incarnations appearing, but Chu Danqing had one as soon as he arrived.

This is why Chu Danqing hasn't yet surrendered his faith to the Cat Goddess; otherwise, he could have directly replaced Delapour as the head of the Norris family.

Even if his surname isn't Norris.

After listening, Chu Danqing silently reached out and accepted the statue of the Cat Goddess.

Upon handling it, one can clearly feel that the texture of the statue is very smooth, and the overall quality is excellent.

It feels heavy when you hold it in your hands.

As he made his move, Chu Danqing could clearly feel a certain gaze falling upon him.

The moonlight descended from the sky and settled at Chu Danqing's feet, forming a ball.

In the blink of an eye, the moonlight melted away and transformed into a crystal-clear white cat.

The white cat rubbed against his legs and walked forward with its head held high.

The white cat at the very front emitted a fluorescent glow, like fragments.

The fluorescent light drifted backward with the airflow, enveloping the entire Norris family caravan.

When the tree-man touched the fluorescent light, the entire tree withered and eventually turned into rotten wood.

Seeing so many changes, Chu Danqing's expression was also complicated.

I never expected to receive so much attention and favor.

His high charm combined with his initial favorable impression gave him a significant advantage.

Even he himself was unaware that he possessed so many advantages.

This anomaly naturally attracted the attention of the ancient tree spirit sage, who pulled a huge boulder out of the ground.

It then accurately struck the caravan.

As it fell, it was blocked by the fluorescent light.

In that instant, Chu Danqing was also able to see the boulder clearly.

It is called a stone, but it is not a stone at all. It is some kind of strange, unknown material filled with tree roots.

The fluorescent light flickered, and finally the entire boulder slowly dissolved, ultimately turning into nothingness.

However, this blow also affected the protection of the Cat Goddess, causing the fluorescence to dim slightly.

Even the moon-white cat leading the way appeared somewhat transparent.

It seems that the Cat Goddess's favor towards Chu Danqing does not extend to unconditional support.

Once the moonlit white cat disappears, the protection will also disappear.

The entire Norris family caravan will perish here.

"How should we get out of this predicament?" Chu Danqing asked, looking at the moonlit white cat.

He wanted to see if the white cat could provide the answer.

Upon hearing this, the white cat stopped and tilted its head to look at Chu Danqing, seemingly deep in thought.

After about three seconds, the Moonlight White Cat turned its head to determine the direction, and then changed direction to lead the way.

However, it changed the direction it led towards the location of the ancient tree spirit sage.

This means it provided the answer Chu Danqing needed.

“Let’s go,” Chu Danqing said immediately.

Delapour and the others had no objections; they knew that the moonlit white cat represented the goddess of cats.

As believers, we should naturally follow the guidance.

But Rudolf and his men were unwilling.

"This is suicide!" Rudolf shouted.

“Those who don’t want to go don’t have to go,” Delapour said coldly, then ignored the other person.

Rudolf wanted to say something more, but everyone in the Norris family ignored him.

The other members of the legal team also looked grim.

But since things had come to this point, they had no choice but to go along with it.

If they really leave, how will they deal with the tree people around them?

Even if these tree beings are not as powerful as the ancient tree beings and sages, they are still beyond their ability to deal with.

The ancient treant sage's gaze fell upon the Norris family caravan that was approaching it, and an expression of great interest appeared on his face.

The prey actually dared to charge at the hunter.

This is a good thing.

Offering these courageous prey as sacrifices to the Hunting Moon is far more valuable than prey that is too cowardly to scatter or beg for mercy.

The quality of prey is not judged solely by its strength.

Even the most powerful prey is nothing but mortal before the Hunting Moon.

Offerings of prey of rare quality are more sought after.
