This is the most luxurious item I saw after arriving at this church from the boundary between the virtual and real worlds.

The dawn redwood gently covered each child with a blanket and tiptoed back to close the door.

He only spoke after they were far away from the dormitory.

"Would anyone be willing to do me a small favor?"

"of course."

Shuishan apologized, "Actually, when I came down the mountain today, I forgot to pick any extra ingredients, so I can't entertain so many people at the same time. Could you come with me now?"

Jiang Heyi waved his hands repeatedly: "There's no need for that trouble, we can buy it."

The dawn redwood was adamant: "I can't let you spend money. Since that's the case, you should rest too. I'll be right back."

From our interactions today, we can vaguely sense that Shui Shan is a gentle and simple person who would rather go through trouble himself than let others suffer or spend money.

She took her food, a lantern, and incense to repel insects and animals, and went outside.

The area around Hotfat City is teeming with monsters and wild beasts, making nighttime travel extremely risky.

The dawn redwood is already in such a state, how could the boundary between reality and illusion just lie on the ground? Let's wait for dawn, and the story will continue.

What if their guess is wrong, and the metasequoia is just an ordinary person, and the scroll's origin has another reason—because they were lazy and slept in, they slept away Mint's mother's mother...

At the boundary between reality and illusion, everyone swallowed hard.

Mint is alright in her grief, but I'm afraid she'll disappear forever and be cut off from the guild.

The metasequoia church was located on the outer edge of the city-state. The nearby villages had long since turned off their lights and gone to bed. Looking back, apart from the lights within the city-state, it was pitch black.

Carrying a lantern, the dawn redwood led the group along the winding, difficult mountain path. The faint light of the lantern could only illuminate a meter or two ahead, like a messenger for wandering souls.

Perhaps because they were so immersed in the experience, no one thought to release the illumination orb.

Walking to the side of a mountain stream, listening to the rushing water, the dawn redwood quickly found several densely growing mushrooms based on the markings it had made beforehand.

She skillfully picked the rice, quickly built a fire pit, set up the small pot she carried with her, and washed and rinsed the rice.

"Could you help me light the fire?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Heyi was a little dizzy.

"This is a temporary event, and it might take half a day to prepare. Let's have a meal first to conserve our energy."

The dawn redwood was so enthusiastic that it was hard to refuse, so everyone had no choice but to sit around the fire pit.

Lacking proper tableware, they simply used magic to carve nearby bamboo into bowls and chopsticks to make do.

The mushroom rice was very fragrant. Apart from salt, there were no other seasonings, but the freshly picked mushrooms had an exceptionally pleasant and rich aroma that permeated everyone's heart and soul. After eating it, everyone felt happy and cheerful.

The whole pot of rice was devoured by everyone.

As a late-night snack, it's so perfect that everyone really wants another ice-cold soda.

"Is everyone full?"

The dawn redwood smiled and slowly stood up.

"I'm full, it was so delicious."

Zhong Zemo's remarks further enhanced the prestige of mushroom rice.

The metasequoia nodded: "That's good, you're full."

With her back to the crowd, she slowly walked towards the distant mountain stream.

Visibility was already low at night, and the area around the mountain stream was littered with stones and uneven. Fearing that the metasequoia tree might slip and twist its ankle, the group hurriedly got up and chased after it.

The dawn redwood didn't seem to be walking, but rather floating. Her toes lightly touched the pebbles, and she fluttered and turned in mid-air like a butterfly, floating in mid-air.

Under the night sky, the dawn redwood glowed with a faint blue light, and its gentle, watery eyes gradually began to shimmer with a purple glow.

The magical power that the four primordial entities had repeatedly tried to perceive but could not find, now erupted from the metasequoia like a pent-up torrent.

“I’ve been hungry, so…”

"They'll always be fed before they leave."

That once ever-smiling face was now only icy cold.

"Where is Mint right now?!"

His voice was like thunder.

"She's studying in the main library," Orange Tea said, still unaware of the gravity of the situation, trying to explain.

A strange rhythm rippled through the air, and everyone felt dizzy.

The water cypress's voice was icy cold: "Still trying to lie to me? I know what kind of child Mint is better than any of you..."

"Approachable? Her eccentric personality always makes her unpredictable to those around her."

"They are not frank, they always hide things, and they are unwilling to express themselves properly, which makes people anxious and annoyed."

"Her homemade potions are always full of mishaps. Ordinary people would regard those flawed products, which are both good and bad, as masterpieces, and would the geniuses of the Star Speaker Academy do the same?"

"And then there's real-world experience. When did she become someone who detaches herself from her specialized field and gets distracted by other areas?"

"Your rhetoric is terrible."

"Now I'm giving you one last chance to explain... what happened to Mint!"

"My pendant, she always carried it with her, never let it out of her sight, how could it have ended up in your hands!"

This is bad; they've covered up Mint's lie and gotten her into trouble!

“Sister Metasequoia, please let me explain. Actually, Mint has been involved in many things with us, and she is definitely not in danger.”

“Those who are struggling to survive all use the same crude and indiscriminate rhetoric,” said Metasequoia. “Indeed, I should find the answer myself.”

Thick, billowing black mist gushed out from beneath the metasequoia nun's habit.

French Fries immediately covered his head, gritting his teeth in pain: "This feeling... is exactly the same as when we were in the Great Snow Mountain."

Fear bursting forth from the depths of the soul transformed into musical notes, resounding loudly in everyone's mind.

Jiang Heyi suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body trembled violently.

"A demon...she is a demon!"

Chapter 201 You call Mint "Mom"?

Everything that seemed illogical now had a rational explanation.

The jailer suddenly realized, "So that's why the nun's radar wasn't working on her."

The woman in the blankets was also amazed: "Your nun radar is pretty impressive, what's the working principle behind it?"

"An old gentleman's intuition!" The jailer's gaze was firm.

Black mist filled the air, and dark red light flashed rapidly. A strong sense of dizziness, accompanied by nausea, swept over everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The dawn redwood remained motionless, yet an invisible attack had already begun.

The jailer showed his reliable side. Sensing that the cypress tree would make a move, he quickly summoned his spirit and used his newly learned skill, [Soul Gift], to increase the mental magic resistance of the entire team.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the boundary between reality and illusion had not been lost, Shui Shan immediately locked her gaze on Zhong Zemo, who was standing at the very front of the group, holding a shield.

"Anti-magic shield... You actually possess anti-magic equipment."

She sensed it clearly: the magic released by the jailer was instantly dispelled by the aura released by the anti-magic shield.

In reality, it is the powerful magical distortion force that suppresses magic that is actually effective.

"You came prepared."

The purple light in the metasequoia's eyes was as dazzling as stars, while the black mist, like silt, continuously leaked out from behind her.

It's not a fancy trick that's useless; it's a magic that's been transformed by the dawn redwood, making it unusable by others.

A bizarre power identical to that of the demons of the Great Snow Mountain.

"The distortion of magic suppression also has its limits."

Centered on the dawn redwood, ripples visible to the naked eye spread out.

"I want your consciousness to perish with Mint!"

How could they be so extreme? Didn't they even give me a chance to explain?

"Om~~~"

The dizzying roar, like a giant hammer, pounded on everyone's thoughts, as if trying to shake open their sea of ​​consciousness and reach the very root of their souls.

The entire group at the boundary between reality and illusion transformed into a long, straight line, resembling an eagle catching chicks, and shrank behind the squid.

"Squid, advance!" Jiang Heyi shouted.

Their long-standing tacit understanding meant that what they needed to do was already self-evident.

The squid charged headlong into the ever-rising tide of mental energy, relying on the distorting effect of its magic-suppressing power, which was so strong it was unreasonable, cutting through the waves as if it were in an empty field.

"Humph."

The dawn redwood suddenly flung its hand, unleashing a magical strike that sent pebbles flying and cracks appearing in the ground.

The spell-blocking ability can block directly applied magic, but it is ineffective against secondary damage caused by magic.

The long, serpentine formation that was advancing suddenly came to an abrupt halt due to a ditch that appeared on the ground.

The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be released. Facing a monster like the demon, which even the elites of the Imperial Mage Tower feared, they had only one chance.

Fight!

Zhong Zemo gripped the magic-suppressing round shield, spun around, and with a sudden burst of power from his waist and abdomen, he used the standard discus-throwing motion to turn the small round shield into a cannonball, aiming straight at the metasequoia tree.

Even demons, when faced with a rapidly flying UFO that can harm them on both magical and physical levels, cannot help but dodge to the side.

Just that brief gap is enough.

Using the [Spirit Enhancement] skill, Orange Tea Wind Spirit performed multi-threaded operations, doing its utmost to apply the buff to everyone.

"I'll go deliver one first!"

The woman in the quilt, who had always been in charge of drawing the gun line, was already prepared to be killed instantly. Without hesitation, she stealthily approached the water cypress and forcibly drew her attention to herself.

"Corrupted Corpse Explosion!"

"Elemental Fusion Torrent!"

The four Primitives and the jailer immediately unleashed their killing moves. The four Primitives even activated the [Temporary Overdraft] skill, causing the Elemental Fusion Torrent to continuously blast the Metasequoia, creating a suppressive effect.

Seeing this, Jiang Heyi immediately transformed into a support, converting the accumulated [Tide] into magic power and channeling it into the two of them to enhance the power of their skills.

"Crying blood!"

French Fries let out a loud shout, his blood energy dissipating as he forcibly pushed his combat power to its peak through self-harm, while also ensuring that even a slight touch would result in his instant death.

As the dawn redwood dealt with the incoming magical attack head-on, she swung her sword down with a powerful blow.

The blue light emanating from the metasequoia tree was a strange, sticky shield that absorbed most of the French fries' attack.

"Metasequoia...we call mint 'Mom,' can you...?"

Fries gritted his teeth, took out the [Final Potential] potion he had obtained from Mint, and consumed it instantly.

The metasequoia stared wide-eyed at the potion bottle.

With a surge of power coursing through his body, the French fry slashed down fiercely, the sword light piercing straight through the body of the metasequoia.

"Be merciful!"

The lingering sound lingered.

After the sword strike, all was silent.

"French Fries, what have you done!" Orange Tea Man was trembling. She noticed that Metasequoia had suddenly stopped moving. "This is Mint Mom's mother!"

In order to strike hard and calm the cypress down, everyone used their last bit of strength and overexertion skills, and now they are all panting heavily.

Seeing that the metasequoia tree was truly motionless, they nearly fainted from exhaustion.

Don't.
