"Not joining?" The Zanpu was taken aback. "Didn't you say you'd consider it when you came?"

"I've made up my mind. I'm going to take the risk alone." Zhang Lang nodded to the others.

To be honest, on his way back, Zhang Lang did consider finding an adventure organization. After all, he was unfamiliar with this world, and the terrain was quite complex. Having a guide accompany him on missions would be more efficient.

As for the altar's requirement to complete the task alone, he could try dealing with the monsters by himself without anyone else interfering, and see how the altar would judge it.

Therefore, when he handed in the mission to Murong Wei, he paid special attention to the news about the altar.

The result was that the altar acknowledged that he had completed the side quests that required a team to complete yellow or higher-level tasks, thus unlocking the task difficulty bonus. However, the task of defeating the Demon Tiger Armor was also counted as a team completion, and he was only given a reward of 750 points.

It seems that the altar's judgment is very simple and crude; with a team of four, he only gets a quarter of the points.

From this perspective, even if he only has one guide, the final score will be halved. Moreover, this guide might be a hindrance, and the efficiency might not be faster than doing the task on his own.

"Mr. Hunter..." Kidman was about to offer a few more words of advice: "I heard you're a newly registered adventurer, and you might not be very familiar with the situation on Fallen Isle. I don't doubt your strength, but this place is different from all the places you've been before. Many missions here can't be completed by personal bravery alone. A slight mistake could even be life-threatening..."

As Kidman spoke, he kept an eye on Zhang Lang's expression. Seeing that he showed no sign of wavering, he changed the subject:

"Even if you don't want to join the organization, I suggest you form an alliance with our Dragon Knight Adventurer Guild. You can help each other when necessary."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Lang finally raised an eyebrow: "Speaking of which, I do have something I need your help with."

Kidman's eyes lit up: "What is it? Please tell me!"

Zhang Lang took out a task sheet with a black border: "I plan to do this task this afternoon. I heard you also accepted it, so please don't bother me."

Kidman took the mission sheet and saw that it was to hunt down the newly appointed level 5 boss, which was exactly the mission that their Dragon Knights were currently undertaking!

"Don't interfere?" Kidman was speechless, and before he could react, Zhang Lang had already taken back the mission sheet and walked out of the Adventurers' Guild's hall.

Many adventurers inside witnessed this scene and immediately began to discuss it animatedly. As for the four experts of the Dragon Knights, they stared at each other, completely embarrassed.

"Vice-Captain, what should we do?" Having witnessed Zhang Lang's methods, Zanpu and the other two knew that this man had the right to be proud. They hadn't dared to refute him just now, but they were still unhappy that their own adventure team was being called a hindrance.

"Hurry and find the captain!" Kidman's eyes lit up, and he turned and ran outside. "Let's go up to the fifth floor too!"

"Shall we go too?" Zanpu blinked and followed after them. "But didn't he say not to get in the way? This guy has a strange temper. If we anger him and a conflict breaks out, I'm afraid..."

"We're just here to watch!" Kidman quickened his pace. "If he's really as powerful as you say, he might actually be able to fight a fifth-level master to a standstill. If he wins, we'll just observe and learn from his experience. If he loses, whether we do him a favor or reap the benefits is still up to us!"

Leaving aside how the Dragon Knights would gather their forces, let's talk about Zhang Lang. After leaving the Adventurers' Guild, he traveled eastward to the outskirts of the city. Once outside the protective barrier, he could see the first layer of tree canopy, which was almost level with the ground.

As you get closer, the sheer size of the World Tree becomes even more awe-inspiring; every single leaf is like a green plaza spanning thousands of square meters, and every single branch resembles a bridge or highway suspended in the air.

And these squares and bridges are not just a few, dozens, or hundreds, but tens of thousands, densely packed and layered, filling a three-dimensional city of hundreds of square kilometers in size and hundreds of meters in thickness, inhabited by hundreds of millions of all kinds of magical giant insects!

And this is only the first layer of the World Tree!

Even after experiencing dozens of worlds, this was the first time Zhang Lang had ever seen such a wondrous sight.

However, he had no time to linger over the beautiful scenery. He touched the ground with his toes, soared into the air, and used the Void Stepping Moon technique to head straight for the sky.

The World Tree has nine layers of canopy, and what's most amazing is that each layer has a different ecology and environment. The first layer looks like an enlarged version of an ordinary tree, but the canopy above is full of strange and wonderful things.

Some layers are covered with strange flowers that can induce hallucinations in any animal that gets close; some layers secrete highly viscous resin that can easily trap people, turning them into amber containing giraffes; and some canopy layers are even inhabited by a large number of intelligent insect-people, resembling a unique little civilization.

Among these, the most unique is the fifth level of the World Tree.

Here, more than 5,000 meters above the ground, the leaves at the base of the canopy have all folded together, covering the entire canopy, like a large bowl made of overlapping branches and leaves, thousands of meters in diameter, and this bowl is filled with water!

Yes, you read that right. The fifth level of the World Tree is actually a lake located thousands of meters in the air!

This enormous World Tree Lake is home to a variety of aquatic arthropods. If you wish, you can even catch crabs on the World Tree.

Of course, this assumes you have the ability to subdue a crab the size of a tank.

With just a few leaps, Zhang Lang arrived at the fifth level of the World Tree.

He stood by the lake, perched on a raised branch, quietly watching the shimmering water.

The World Tree's canopy is hundreds of meters thick, so the deepest part of the lake is also hundreds of meters deep. Various branches of the World Tree grow horizontally in it, all of which have evolved into aquatic plant-like forms to adapt to the environment. They are intricate and complex. With the added reflection of sunlight, it is really hard to tell what is at the bottom of the lake.

But Zhang Lang knew that the real danger lurked beneath the seemingly calm surface of the water.

He broke off a newly sprouted branch from the side of the tree at his feet. This tender branch, which was more than ten meters long and thicker than a normal person's waist, was the thinnest branch that Zhang Lang could find.

Zhang Lang held the tender branch and plunged it into the water, stirring it up. With its newly sprouted forked leaves, the branch stirred up quite a commotion in the water, soon creating ripples on the surface of the water for hundreds of meters around.

Finally, the commotion startled the monster lurking at the bottom of the water, and a dark shadow began to approach Zhang Lang.

With a loud splash, a mutant crayfish the size of a rhinoceros burst out of the water, brandishing its two large claws and lunging at Zhang Lang!

Zhang Lang snorted coldly, threw away the tender branch, and pounced on the crayfish in return!
