I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Not long after Little K and his three companions ran back to the safe zone, Blood Blade also returned to the Nest Tree Camp, which was not far from the Giant Tree area.

However, at this moment, only two of the six members of Blood Blade's team remained, and Blood Blade himself was injured.

"Chief, Elder, this is how it is."

Blood Blade's expression was grave.

The only two extraordinary beings in Nest Tree Camp were also heartbroken.

Their Nest Tree Camp wasn't strong to begin with, and Blood Blade's squad was already one of the few elite forces in the camp. Now that the squad has been lost, the number of people in the camp who can go out to explore has been reduced by a lot.

In other words, Nest Tree Camp's revenue will plummet in the future.

but……

"The heartwood of a tree that has been cultivated for ten years, or even a hundred years?"

The former can be used to cultivate Dream Fallers in the Refinement stage, and may even cultivate top-tier Third Refinement Realm cultivators, thus giving birth to an extraordinary being.

The latter was of great benefit to both of them.

The Nest Tree leader and the elders exchanged a glance, their eyes burning with fervor.

However, they were not blinded by the heat.

"Deep within the giant tree region, there must be a powerful transcendent being. Blood Blade and his companions didn't even actually see that transcendent being before losing four elite members. If Blood Blade hadn't run fast, they would have perished there as well."

"Can our Nest Tree Camp take down such a transcendent being?"

The Nest Tree leader immediately realized the problem was in trouble.

This is in an unexplored area, where we are going to deal with a supernatural being that has the advantage of terrain.

Moreover, when they deal with supernatural and bizarre beings... it's hard to say that the surrounding supernatural beings won't be alerted.

With such a great opportunity as a large quantity of tree heartwood right in front of us, it's impossible not to take it!

"We must seize it intelligently, skillfully, and steadily."

Just then, a commotion arose outside the camp, and several figures pushed open the door and entered without warning.

Blood Blade frowned. He was about to rebuke, but after seeing who it was, he stopped himself from saying anything.

It's not that I don't want to talk about it, but that I can't.

These people, or rather the entire Nest Tree Camp, are people he cannot afford to offend.

"Your Excellency, Envoy."

The Nest Tree leader went to greet them.

The team consisted of seven people, three of whom were surrounded by terrifying curse pressure.

They made no attempt to conceal it; they were clearly three extraordinary powerhouses!

This is an envoy team from the top-tier power, Gray Town.

Their Nest Tree Camp is one of many camps under the rule of Gray Earth Town. Gray Earth Town is the undisputed overlord and tyrant of this area where Whispering Forest and Dark Forest meet!

The leader of the envoy team, codenamed "Dust," is a seasoned mid-stage Transcendent, only one step away from the late-stage Transcendent. He is a pivotal figure in the entire Gray Earth Town.

He said, "Old Yang, this time the offering fee needs to be paid in advance. It's two thousand dream crystals in total. If you don't have enough dream crystals, you can use other treasures to offset the cost." Chief Yang frowned.

They are a force within the territory of Gray Earth Town and are protected by Gray Earth Town.

However, despite this claim, the safety of each camp still depends entirely on themselves; the protection of Gray Earth Town is more of a formality. If they encounter a crisis and want to seek help from Gray Earth Town, they will have to pay an additional large sum of money.

Most importantly, the daily maintenance costs are too high, and most of the Nest Tree Camp's expenses are spent on this.

Even so, Chief Yang had no choice.

At this moment, the envoy, Sandstorm, spoke up again: "By the way, I heard when I came that your Nest Tree Camp discovered a treasure land?" Considering the dangers of the Giant Tree region, the strength of the Gray Earth Town envoy group, and the fact that the Giant Tree region seemed to have been discovered by another force... Chief Yang pretended to hesitate.

He seemed to have struggled with the decision for a long time before finally making up his mind.

"Your Excellency, if we hand over this precious land, could it offset the tribute fee?"

He had an idea.

In any case, the Giant Tree area is very close to his Nest Tree camp, but far from Gray Earth Town.

If they could develop this treasure trove, their Nest Tree Camp would surely benefit.

quickly,

In just half an hour, Blood Blade, bearing a complex aura, returned to the area of ​​the giant tree.

Beside him was the last remaining member of the team, Chief Yang, and several elite members of the Nest Tree Camp.

The seven members of the envoy group followed behind at a leisurely pace.

The group of a dozen or so people ventured deeper into the area of ​​the giant tree. Before the terrifying and eerie sights described by Blood Blade even materialized, they had already discovered a ten-year-old tree heart. "Not bad."

The envoy weighed the treasure in his hand, then looked intently into the depths of the dense forest.

If it contains many heartwoods that are ten or even a hundred years old...

Suddenly, he looked into the distance.

"come out!"

He gave a low shout, and the sand and dust surged up, turning into rolling waves that surged forward.

At this moment, several auras also rose in the distance.

"Great Flame Wave-Splitting Fist!"

Xi Xue called out the name she had made up on the spot.

The Snow Flame Demon appeared behind her. She threw a punch, and her clone behind her also threw a punch at the same time. Flames burst forth, and this punch even blasted away the rolling sand waves, sending out gusts of wind in all directions.

Blood Blade and the others at Nest Tree Camp were horrified.

"This power..."

He is undoubtedly an extraordinary powerhouse!

They moved quickly, returning to the area in a short time, and brought back the "strong reinforcements"—the Gray Earth Messenger Corps.

Unexpectedly, the other force also moved so quickly.

"Which faction is this exactly?"

"The leader needs to have the courage; otherwise, with competitors and powerful, bizarre beings to contend with, our Nest Tree Camp simply can't handle it. But now..."

No matter who the competitors are, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of the envoy from Gray Earth Town.

They have a total of four extraordinary individuals on their side!

The name of Gray Earth Town is enough to intimidate any force in this region.

However, at this time,

The Nest Tree leader was not in such a relaxed state of mind. His face was solemn as he gazed at the billowing dust dissipating in the distance.

He couldn't see what lay beyond the smoke and dust, but he could sense it...

There was more than one extraordinary person among those who came.

Two? Three? Or more?

As the dust settled, figures were spotted one after another, some on the ground, some on tree branches, and some hidden in the shadows. "At least six people, maybe more."

Blood Blade looked in the direction of Little K and whispered in his leader's ear.

The Nest Tree leader nodded slightly.

Apart from the young scout, the others all seemed extraordinary to him.

The girl, who also looked quite young, had a terrifying giant shadow appearing behind her.

Just now, it was that giant shadow that blasted the sand wave away with a single punch.

The others...

One person wields a longsword formed from magical energy;

One was wearing a heart mask, and the other was wearing a diamond mask;

"Where did this extraordinary powerhouse come from?"

Those who haven't made a move yet are one thing, since their innate talents can indeed be faked before they are revealed.

But the one who had already made a move and clearly revealed his innate talent couldn't match any of the powerful figures in his memory. Chief Yang looked at the Sandstorm Envoy.

This powerful figure, who held a high position and was the right-hand man of the Gray Earth Town Mayor, was also frowning, unable to recognize the person's identity.

The dust storm spoke up: "Who are you people?"

But nobody paid him any attention.

Dust said, "This is the territory of my Gray Earth Town. I advise you to leave immediately, and I will not pursue your responsibility." This time, someone paid attention.

Xi Xue asked, "Gray Earth Town...what faction is it?"

Xuan Jian shook his head: "Never heard of it."

Yang Linna emerged from the shadows and echoed, "I've never heard of it either. It's probably some small power group somewhere."

Hearts spoke up: "Never heard of +1+1+1."

She had actually heard a little about it; it was a regional hegemon.

Even in the past, these cunning thieves were lawless and unruly. They were at most somewhat wary of such forces and would not provoke them unless absolutely necessary.

And now,

They had powerful backers, and the store manager was their protector—although they were "prisoners," they were carrying out the tasks assigned by the store manager, so it was perfectly reasonable to say they had powerful backers.

With a powerful backer, one feels a hundred times more relaxed when facing adversity.

They're relaxed, but those people in the sandstorm are not.

"He's probably a nobody from out of town!"

"But even if he's a dragon crossing the river... so what?"

Even a behemoth like the Tiannan City Countermeasures Bureau wouldn't faze the Gray Earth Town.

They're so far away!

But right now, the unfathomable power on the other side made him somewhat wary.

"You, go and test the quality of the one on the other side."

Sandstorm gave instructions to the extraordinary experts beside him.

at this time,

Xi Xue was also observing the other side.

Her experience is far less than that of a seasoned powerhouse like Sha Chen, and it would be difficult for her to make accurate judgments based solely on appearance and general perception.

However, her method of judgment is very simple... and absolutely effective.

She took out the curse power detector directly.

"Beep~ Beep~ Beep~!"

She glanced at the detector and whispered:

"The leader on the other side has a spell power value of 299, he is no ordinary person."

Xi Xue immediately realized that the sandstorm just now was far from the leader's limit.

In a one-on-one fight, she might not be a match for her opponent.

But then again, why did she choose to fight one-on-one?

She's not a stupid, reckless person.

"The other three include one mid-stage Transcendent, and two early-stage Transcendent."

The person who came out was at the early stage of the Transcendent Realm.

Xi Xue was about to accept the challenge, but Xuan Jian snatched it away, saying, "Let me do it. We need to demonstrate more extraordinary power to make the other side wary."

He was not a soft-hearted person, but if possible, he did not want to fight to the death with extraordinary powerhouses who were also human.

"Gray Earth Town, Rock".

The burly man opposite spoke.

Immediately afterwards, he absorbed the surrounding soil and rocks, transforming them into an enormous suit of rock armor that enveloped his entire body.

Thus, a rock giant was born.

Xuan Jian thought for a moment and said, "Safe Zone, Xuan Jian."

He held the sword of the heart in his hand.

Compared to the formidable power of the enemy when they were firing at full force, Xuanjian's figure appeared somewhat frail.

The rock giant launched its charge.

Despite his massive size, he moved with surprising speed and agility. As Xuanjian dodged the charge, he unexpectedly turned and unleashed a flurry of punches. "What a cunning tactic!"

Blood Blade pondered in the distance.

But Xuanjian was faster. He used the Phantom Step to create a series of afterimages, and then, wielding the Heart Sword, he coiled his spell around it.

He swung his sword down, each strike landing on the rock giant.

Both being extraordinary rocks, there's no way to avoid each other.

The rock could only use its arms to take as many attacks as possible.

In the blink of an eye,

The Xuan Sword then delivered twenty strikes.

The rock also withstood twenty moves.

The two separated, and Xuanjian landed twenty meters away from the rock giant, slightly panting.

At this moment, on the massive, thick armor of the rock, one could see a series of ferocious, narrow slash marks.

"But in the end, it didn't pierce through the rock-solid armor, and that kind of burst of power was a considerable burden even for an extraordinary being."

Sha Chen squinted, about to say that the advantage was in his hands.

Then I saw,

The rock giant suddenly swayed, and its hard rock armor could no longer be solidified, turning into gravel and dust that fell down in a flurry.

The burly man, Pan Shi, was revealed.

He knelt on one knee, his face contorted in agony.

It took him a while to recover before he could barely stand up, but he was clearly no longer able to fight.

Xuanjian flicked the tip of his sword: "It seems I am the better one."

Sandstorm's face turned ashen: "Let's go."

Outside the giant tree area, the group in the safe zone was still scouting, releasing one magical flying eye after another.

Xi Xue asked, "Will those people just leave like that?"

Yang Linna said, "I don't think so."

Xi Xue looked into the distance at the young man wearing a spade mask.

She knew that he was the eldest of the four thieves and the captain assigned by the shopkeeper for this mission.

Spade paused for a moment before saying, "They're definitely not that honest. They'll probably try to create a time gap and sneak into the heart of the region before we do, to seize the treasures."

"And what about us?"

Xi Xue's eyes widened. How could such a treasure be stolen!

Spade said, "No need to rush."

He looked into the depths of the giant tree area: "The shopkeeper's task for us is to conquer this area, and... there is a powerful and eerie entity deep within this area, and our battle just now caused quite a commotion."

The people from Gray Earth Town trying to sneak in and steal the treasure first is impossible.

More likely, it will collide with that powerful and eerie entity.

Then, provide them with some reliable intelligence.

This time, Spade doesn't just want to conquer Nightmare, but to conquer it perfectly and demonstrate its value to the shop manager.

Xuanjian's eyes widened after hearing this.

Who would have thought that this seemingly shrewd Spade would be so cunning!

At this time,

In the wizard's clairvoyant vision, the entire giant forest trembled, and a dazzling green light bloomed high in the sky, illuminating the entire dark area. Beneath the green light, an incredibly massive, eerie tree, over a hundred meters tall and resembling a skyscraper, appeared in everyone's sight.

The sorcerer's eye clearly captured the scene.

Even Xuanjian and his group, who were on the outskirts of the giant forest, could see the body of the giant, strange tree!

Huge, bizarre, and terrifying!

The spell detector emitted a rapid, beeping alarm.

"This guy... his curse power is a whopping 1100! While it's true that such a gigantic and bizarre creature would have a curse power far exceeding that of others of the same level, this is just too much!"

More spell power equals strength, and a larger physique equals beauty!

As the eerie giant tree fully awakened, the entire forest seemed to come alive, with withered tree spirits rushing out from the depths of the dense forest.

far away,

The extraordinary powerhouse, Pan Shi, stumbled.

A vine, sharp as a blade, pierced through his heart.

His chest turned into a rock.

Immediately afterwards, a second and a third sharp vine shot out.

The others hadn't had time to return to help.

At this time,

A leader-level deadwood sprite emerged from the bushes not far from him.

Its sharp claws pierce through.

"Pfft"

His innate talent failed to work again; sharp claws pierced his heart, drawing a spray of blood.

The rock stiffened completely.

An extraordinary being has fallen!
