The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Om-!

A vibrant green carpet, disregarding the distance of space, spread wildly and ruthlessly toward that desolate and barren territory!

Wherever the greenery reaches, twisted and strange trees spring up from the barren land.

They are not normal plants, but rather deformed creations forcibly bred by the force of life, with gnarled branches resembling ghost claws.

Immediately afterwards, these newly born "tree spirits" broke free from the earth's constraints, stood up shakily, and blurry human face outlines appeared on the hollow tree trunks.

Countless tree spirits gathered into a silent legion.

Forest covered its mouth and chuckled softly, letting out a series of silvery laughs.

"In other places, I might be wary of those unkillable monsters."

"But on my turf, hehehe, I'm really looking forward to it."

The sounds of the forest carried a hint of languor and anticipation.

The shadowy figure beside him smiled without saying a word, simply watching everything unfold.

He was aware of the forest's strength and naturally trusted her abilities.

This kingdom, which she created with her own hands, is both her foundation and her most terrifying weapon.

......

Meanwhile, inside the grocery store.

Lin Mo was staring intently at the huge holographic projection in front of him, which showed the scorched earth in the Withered Territory that had been ravaged by war.

Countless players with various IDs are charging into the deathly area one after another, with the light and shadow effects and the roar of explosions almost never stopping.

A sparrow fluttered its wings and landed on his shoulder, preening its glossy feathers.

[Current progress: 3.8%]

Lin Mo's hand, which was holding the water glass, paused for a moment, and he almost dropped it.

"No? Only this much?"

He looked at the sparrow in disbelief, then pointed to the area on the screen where no living creatures could be seen.

"Even the withered ones were driven away, so why is it taking so long to clean up the remaining territory?"

The progress was completely different from what he had expected.

In his view, all the king-level powerhouses have run away, so what's left is just to receive the inheritance and go through the motions?

How could the progress of the attack be only 3.8%?

The sparrow glanced at him with a look of pity, as if he were a country bumpkin.

What you see is just the tip of the iceberg.

The total area of ​​the desolate territory, after precise calculation, is comparable to the combined surface area of ​​thirteen blue planets. Even without a king-level expert, the other monsters are not to be underestimated; it won't be so easy to completely conquer it.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Lin Mo choked on a mouthful of water, which went directly into his trachea, and he coughed violently.

"Thirteen blue planets?! That's huge?!"

"What a joke!"

To be honest, Lin Mo was genuinely startled when he heard this.

The sparrow seemed quite pleased with Lin Mo's current appearance, proudly puffing out its little chest.

【certainly.】

Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to spend so much time collecting and recording all the spatial coordinates of this area.

Lin Mo finally caught his breath. He wiped his face and felt that his worldview had been refreshed once again by these inhuman beings.

He pointed to the screen and asked the question that had been bothering him the most.

"Why did the withering run away?"

Such a large family fortune, you just want to give it up like that?

If it were him, even if he were beaten down to the point where he only had one safe house left, he would still hold on to the land deed and fight to the death!

Upon hearing this, the sparrow's large, dark eyes revealed an extremely human expression of sympathy.

[They were probably annoyed and drove him away.]

Lin Mo: "..."

He couldn't refute this reason.

Being harassed day and night by a swarm of tireless, fearless locusts that can be killed and then resurrected would drive anyone to the brink of madness.

But while he understood, Lin Mo did not agree.

If he were in the same situation, even if he couldn't kill the other person, he would still want to annoy them.

Running away in such a pathetic manner is not Lin Mo's style.

Lin Mo snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the panel in front of him, let out a long breath, and slumped into his chair.

"That is indeed a long and arduous task."

It seems there's still a long way to go before this vast land can be fully incorporated into our inventory list.

In the brief moment he was talking to the sparrow, the holographic projection suddenly flickered violently without warning.

Sizzle—!

The originally clear battlefield scene was suddenly covered by a strange, eerie green.

Then, the image stabilized.

But what's displayed on the screen is no longer the scene of players charging into battle.

Instead, a group of monsters made of twisted trees appeared!

They emerged from the ground, converging into a green torrent that rushed directly into the rudimentary positions the players had just established.

A player who was wielding a long sword was instantly pierced by a sharp tree root that broke through the ground beneath his feet before he could even react, and was thrown high into the air!

In the scene, the overwhelming green wave is engulfing everything in a crushing manner.

Lin Mo suddenly stood up from his chair, staring intently at the group of tree spirits he had never heard of before on the screen.

"What is this thing?!"

The sparrow on his shoulder shook its wings, its gaze fixed on the group of tree spirits that had suddenly appeared.

After a while.

[From an unknown region, coordinates not recorded.]

Lin Mo shifted his gaze from the battlefield on the screen, which was completely submerged in green, and turned it to the sparrow beside him.

"Unknown area? Then establish coordinates immediately!"

Insufficient permissions.

The sparrow tilted its head and glanced at him with its small, black bean-like eyes.

[The establishment of coordinate rules requires that a player unit must enter the area and survive stably for a long period of time before I can lock onto and record spatial beacons.]

"Then let's go, we're not short of people!" Lin Mo said without hesitation.

He pointed to the wildly expanding green area on the screen, where the once desolate and barren land was being eroded and covered by a completely different force.

"Besides, we shouldn't refuse resources that are offered for free."

Once the thought popped into my head, I couldn't stop it.

The desolate territory is indeed vast, but taking it over is practically a done deal.

These suddenly appearing tree spirits were even more attractive to Lin Mo.

After all, other people's things are always the best.

The sparrow seemed to have anticipated his thoughts and immediately issued a warning.

Based on calculations, the target area is located in the east.

However, based on current big data analysis, proactively opening a new front at this time would not be a wise move.

The fact that they dared to take the initiative indicates they possess the strength to confront us.

Currently, all our computing power and military strength are focused on conquering the Wither Territory, which alone will take a massive amount of time. If we are distracted now, our overall development progress will be severely slowed down.

Sparrow's analysis was well-reasoned and full of absolute rationality.

This is the optimal solution and the safest approach.

Concentrate your efforts, digest one huge piece of fat meat first, and then provoke another fierce tiger.

But Lin Mo just sneered.

"I understand the logic, but I don't follow it."
