Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

Chapter 1274 Is anyone there?

The butterfly gazes into the distance.

“The Tree Garden has always welcomed students, and Ceres would send tender leaves on the breeze and stretch out branches to form a path as a sign of welcome.”

"But now... neither the emissaries of the Tree Court nor the Titans seem to be doing anything."

"This Titan is so inconsiderate," Yan Huan said, puzzled.

"Could it be that they knew we were coming, so they refused to open the road?"

"Could it be that the Divine Tree Garden is also going to war with Ohma?"

"Your Excellency... please don't think of the situation as so bad." Xia Die gently shook her head.

"The relationship between Tree Court and Ohema has always been very good... unlike that of Suspended Peak City."

"At a time of life and death, anything can happen," Yan Huan said solemnly.

"The oracle sought by the Golden Blood requires the sacrifice of all the Titans, and Sersis is no exception."

"Maybe she'll suddenly change her mind?"

Tian looked at the tranquil sacred tree, blinked, and hesitated:

"Perhaps everyone is just sleeping in before class starts and closed the door to avoid being disturbed."

"How about we take a walk around the area first?"

"Good."

Following Tian's advice, Yan Huan and Xia Die began to stroll around the sacred tree.

After walking for a while, they still didn't hear any sound other than the three people.

"It's eerily quiet." Xia Die's heart sank. "What on earth happened...?"

"Your Excellency Yan Huan, the Garden of Compassion is not far ahead. Let's go take a look there."

"Row."

Upon arriving at the Courtyard of Compassion, Xia Die's delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Something's definitely not right..."

Yan Huan looked around and reminded him:

"Even if we're not students, this spot isn't too far out, and there's still no one here."

The surroundings remained eerily quiet.

"Do you think it's possible that they're actually sleeping at this hour?" Yan Huan asked.

"Unlikely," Xia Die shook her head.

"In my memory, the sounds of debate in the treehouse never ceased all day long."

Tian put her hands on her hips, tilted her head back, and shouted:

"Is there anyone here?!"

After ten seconds, she smiled and said:

Okay, no~

“Oh, right.” Xia Die looked at Tian, ​​“Lord Tian, ​​could you please lend me that golden spindle?”

"Okay!"

After receiving the spindle from Tian, ​​Xia Die explained:

"Do you remember? Lady Aglaia said that within the Tree Garden's territory, the golden threads it produces can outline everything around you, whether tangible or intangible..."

"This is because the Tree Garden is not only the location of Cesis's roots, but also the place where the [Golden Cocoon] manifested—"

While Yan Huan and Tian waited, Xia Die held a spindle and prayed.

“O Meneta, with the binding of our vows, I beseech you—may your golden threads and love entwine me…”

"Ugh~ How cheesy!" Yan Huan took a deep breath.

“This… is a proverb recorded in the Meneta Priest's Handbook.” Xiaodie said somewhat embarrassedly.

"If it is true... we should be able to draw strength from the butterfly molting in the Garden of Compassion through the golden threads."

In the center of the Garden of Compassion, a golden cocoon the size of a building lies quietly, receiving offerings from people.

Despite the butterfly's prayers, it seemed that nothing had happened.

Tian asked curiously, "Oh~ it seems there's no reaction, does it not work?"

"How could this be... It shouldn't be like this..." Xia Die was at a loss for what to do.

"Holy crap, there's a ghost!" Yan Huan suddenly shouted, pointing in a direction.

When Tian and Xia Die looked over, they were shocked to discover a transparent spirit.

Xia Die quickly recognized what it was, "This is... a fairy tree."

"No, this is the shadow of the dead Dryad tree."

"Isn't that still a ghost? Holy crap!" Yan Huan covered her head with her hands, her face filled with terror.

"What if I get haunted? Ghosts are the scariest thing ever!"

Xiaodie calmly explained:

"They... are plants, strictly speaking. They gained intelligence through the equal blessing of Inserhith, but it is very limited compared to humans."

"The little guy in front of me is already dead... leaving only a tiny, lingering shadow of his soul."

"However, this also means that the gold thread is indeed linked to the Titan miracles—without the gold thread outlining them, it would be difficult for us to see them."

"So here's the question," Yan Huan asked.

"What happened to them that left only these tiny remnants of their souls?"

"Where's your little brother? It's your turn to step up, hurry up and get going."

As she spoke, Yan Huan reached into her body and pulled Mimi out.

"You... Mimi Mimi! (How could you be so rough with me!)"

Mimi floated in the air, a look of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Hmph... (I'm not going to argue with you for now.)"

Mimi flew to the remnant soul of the Fairy Tree and began to activate her abilities.

After a long while, she opened her eyes and mumbled incoherently, "Black...cloak...sword..."

"Towards the big tree..."

She then looked at the three of them.

"Mimi... Mimi... Mimi mimi mimi... (Hmm... that's it. Its memory is very faint; there are no images, only these few vague words.)"

"Wait a minute," Yan Huan interrupted. "Did you just speak like a human being?"

"Mimi? (Really?)" Mimi blinked.

Xia Die frowned slightly, looking somewhat uneasy. "...Everyone, I have a bad feeling."

"The death fog of Senatos... seems to be approaching."

“Oh? Then Tian will be very wary!” Tian became serious.

Seeing that both of them said there was danger, Yan Huan slowly raised the chainsaw and pulled the rope.

Buzzing sounds!

The high-speed saw chain made a noisy noise.

"There are enemies, huh? And a black cloak and a sword? Sounds like there are people around."

Yan Huan immediately became excited.

“Anyone who would attack their fellow human beings at a time like this is definitely a beast.”

Now that Nicardi's embers have been stored in the core of the cosmic vortex, the remaining followers of the Divine Punishment have no energy left to launch an attack on Tree Court.

So what was the purpose of those who invaded this place?

Previously, the reason why Suspended Peak City wanted to attack Ohma at this critical juncture was because the Titans were sick...

And this group of enemies came to the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden to cut down the Fairy Tree, and perhaps they didn't just cut down the Fairy Tree, but the residents here may also have been killed.

They're probably sick too...

As they continued deeper into the area, the three gradually came across a pungent smell of blood.

"..."

Yan Huan had smelled this scent far too often when she was in Yalilo and Luofu.

"Wow, it's so scary up ahead!" Tian floated in the air, her little wings flapping incessantly.

Yan Huan and Xia Die quickly stepped forward and indeed saw a large number of corpses.

But besides humans, there are many black monsters.

"The creation of the Black Tide..." Xia Die's expression was solemn.

"They are twisted and empty shells formed by the erosion of life."

"This form...they were once human beings. Everyone...be vigilant."

Chapter 1275 Conspicuous Bag

"Whatever happened in Tree Garden, seeing so many remains here is definitely not a good sign."

At the same time, the monster's fingers twitched a few times, and then it slowly stood up, letting out a low roar.
