The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 473 The Tree of Life is Calling to Her

Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Yi said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll go with you."

He took a step forward, his tall figure giving people a strong sense of security.

“Wanwan, I’ll go with you!” Yan Lie immediately said.

The massive serpentine body of the Candle Cutter slid forward silently for a distance, its cold, vertical pupils gleaming eerily in the moonlight.

He didn't speak, but his actions spoke volumes.

Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze and looked at her beastmen. "The place where that tree is located is the core forbidden area of ​​the entire Jiaolong tribe. It must be heavily guarded, and there is likely a Red-Rank expert in charge. We can't alert them yet."

She pondered for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the several Crimson-Rank Beastmen. "Here's what we'll do: Zhu Xiu, Jin Yi, Yin Ze, and I will go scout the situation. If we're discovered, our small numbers and low profile will allow us to retreat in time."

"How about I wait outside the forbidden area to meet you?" he thought bitterly, wondering why he had lost at rock-paper-scissors that day!
Hua Han's beautiful fox-like eyes darted around. Although he also wanted to follow, he was more aware of the current situation.

He stepped forward, his voice both comforting and reminding: "Wanwan, I'll listen to you. We'll stay home and look after Aunt Shuang and the children, waiting for you to come back. Your safety is the most important thing. If you encounter any danger, don't try to fight it head-on."

Bai Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart and solemnly said, "Okay, don't worry. We will be careful."

The night was as thick as ink, and a cold moon was obscured by thin clouds, only revealing a hazy and dim halo.

Most of the orcs in the tribe were already fast asleep, with only a few scattered lights flickering among the treehouses.

The sea breeze whistled through the trees, making a mournful sound that perfectly masked the slightest noise.

Bai Wanwan changed into a dark-colored animal skin outfit that allowed for easy movement.

The three Crimson-Rank experts concealed their auras to the extreme and, with Bai Wanwan in tow, stealthily made their way towards the forbidden area of ​​the Tree of Life along the most secluded and densely vegetated path.

As expected, they did not encounter any patrolling orcs along the way; only the occasional hooting of night owls broke the silence.

The closer one gets to the forbidden area, the stronger the gentle yet powerful life force of the Tree of Life becomes in the air, while also carrying an indescribable ancient pressure.

Soon, an area naturally enclosed by huge black reefs came into view, with the entrance blocked by thick vines and stone pillars engraved with totems.

Zhu Xiu's cold, vertical pupils swept across the outer perimeter of the forbidden area, his forked tongue flickering silently, precisely capturing the guards' auras and locations.

“There are quite a few guards. There are four or five orange-tier male guards in each direction.” His massive body slightly adjusted its direction in the shadows. “I’ll make a little noise to distract the guards near the entrance. Jin Yi, Yin Ze, you two seize the opportunity and take Wanwan in immediately. Keep it quiet and be quick.”

“Okay,” Jin Yi and Yin Ze nodded at the same time.

With a gentle flick of his enormous snake tail, Zhu Xiu's figure vanished like a ghost into the depths of the nearby dense forest.

Just a few breaths later, from behind a group of rocks a little to the left of the entrance to the forbidden area, came several extremely faint "click" sounds, like pebbles rolling down, followed by a deliberately suppressed rustling sound, like small wild animals fighting.

The orange-tier male guards at the entrance immediately became alert. Two of them exchanged a glance, cautiously moved a few steps toward the source of the sound, and peered out: "What's that sound?"

"There seems to be something there?"

Just as their attention was diverted and their bodies turned to the side, Jin Yi and Yin Ze moved!

Sitting on Jin Yi's back, Bai Wanwan felt the wind whistling past, and the golden shadow was so fast it almost tore through the air.

Yin Ze followed closely behind. The two worked together with perfect coordination, and in the instant the guards moved to check, the two males successfully led the female into the forbidden area.

The guards looked at the now-calm reef with suspicion, then cautiously scanned their surroundings. Finding nothing amiss, they muttered a few words and returned to their positions.

The moment I stepped into the forbidden area, an even more concentrated life energy, almost tangible, rushed towards me.

In the center of the forbidden area, a colossal tree, whose magnificence defies description, rises from the ground. Its trunk is as thick as a small mountain, and its gnarled roots are like giant dragons deeply embedded in the earth.

The enormous canopy blocked out the sun, emitting a soft, ethereal green glow even in the night.

However, upon closer inspection, the light was not uniform, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a candle flickering in the wind.

The branches and leaves also appeared somewhat sparse, and many leaves had withered yellow edges, revealing an undeniable sense of...dejection and decay.

"This is... the Tree of Life?"

Jin Yi looked up at the legendary sacred tree. Even with his extensive knowledge, he was awestruck by the immense vitality it contained, and his voice carried a hint of awe.

The enormous snake body of Zhu Xiu slid silently to the foot of the tree, its cold scales almost touching the rough bark.

He raised his serpentine head, his cold, vertical pupils scrutinizing the giant tree. His deep voice carried a hint of reminiscence: "I once heard an ancient tradition mention that the fruit of the Tree of Life can extend one's life by a hundred years, a gift from the Beast God to this continent."

His gaze swept over the sparse branches and leaves, “But judging from this… it’s probably been a very, very long time since we’ve had any results.”

Bai Wanwan stood beside the enormous tree roots, looking as insignificant as an ant.

A strange feeling seized her.

It wasn't just awe, but also a kind of... indescribable thrill.

It was as if the tree was calling out to her silently, or as if it was conveying a deep sorrow and longing to her.

She could even clearly "feel" that deep within that seemingly boundless vitality lay a sense of weakness and exhaustion that was hard to dispel.

As if possessed, driven by an impulse deep within her blood, Bai Wanwan subconsciously reached out and gently touched the rough, cold, yet seemingly life-giving tree trunk.

The instant her fingertips touched the bark!

hum!
A deep and resounding hum seemed to suddenly emerge from the depths of the earth, from the heart of the tree.

The entire Tree of Life was like a giant that had been sleeping for thousands of years, suddenly awakened. The ancient and mysterious patterns on the trunk suddenly lit up, bursting out with a dazzling and blinding emerald green light!
The light, like a tangible pillar, instantly broke through the canopy and shot straight into the deep night sky, illuminating the entire forbidden area and even most of the dragon tribe as if it were daytime!

"what!"

Startled by the sudden change and the blinding light, Bai Wanwan gasped and jerked her hand back as if she had been electrocuted, her heart pounding wildly!

However, it's too late!

Outside the forbidden area, all the guards were stunned by this earth-shattering phenomenon.

That towering pillar of light, that dazzling brilliance like a divine miracle, was a sight they had never seen since they began guarding the Tree of Life!
