Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"I'm a forest ranger here. I won't hurt them. May I check on them?"

"Goo-"

Gudu made way for him, but still stood guard beside Jiang Bai, protecting its master.

Tina looked at Gudong twice.

Although I've never seen this creature before, it's very protective of its owner.

Unlike the little guy next to him, who had completely lost his composure.

Tina first squatted down next to Jiang Bai, checked his breathing, and then lifted his eyelids to take a look.

The empty space next to it did the same thing.

After the examination, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's nothing serious, Ke Lai. Help me take them back to Huacheng Guo and give them some medicine when we get back."

Since it was inconvenient for him to bring both of them, he had to ask Cole to help as well.

"Okay, Master."

Ke Lai nodded and squatted down somewhat nervously.

Tina helped Kong up and placed him on Cole's back. Kong wasn't heavy, but Cole still stumbled when he stood up and almost fell to the ground.

"Let me do it."

Although it's not very convenient to bring two people along, it's the only option.

“Master, I can do it!” Cole shook her head, not wanting to become a useless burden.

Seeing them struggling with how to transport the two people, Gudu tilted its head, transformed into a slime, and came to Jiang Bai's side like invisible water. Then it slowly grew larger and completely lifted Jiang Bai up.

Tina looked at Gudu in amazement. This little guy's intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary creatures, and he could even change his appearance.

It's a pity he majored in botany, otherwise he really wanted to do some research.

"Looks like I don't need to worry anymore."

Tinari took the air from Cole's back and carried him away from the cave.

Ke Lai led the way, with Gu Dong carrying Jiang Bai, following closely behind.

Paimon stopped crying, but kept asking questions, as if afraid that Kong wouldn't wake up.

"Why did they faint? They just suddenly fainted, it scared me to death! I can't wake them up no matter what I do... We just arrived in Sumeru, why did this happen? Waaah, what if they don't wake up? I'm so worried..."

Tina felt a mosquito buzzing incessantly in his ear, which annoyed him greatly.

He already had good hearing, and the constant chattering right next to his ear only made it more unbearable for him.

He pulled out one hand and rubbed his ear, looking at Paimon seriously.

"If you keep making noise, I can't guarantee he'll wake up."

He said he just fainted, but this little guy is acting like he's dead.

While concern can lead to confusion, this is truly going too far.

Paimon was startled by the serious tone and leaned back, quickly covering his mouth.

With the noise gone, Tina felt the world was finally at peace.

Seeing that Paimon had been too frightened to speak the whole way, Cole slowly explained:

"Master Tinari may be a bit strict, but he's a very nice person."

Paimon, who had been keeping quiet the whole way and was feeling restless, quickly opened up when the young forest ranger girl struck up a conversation with her.

Are you all forest rangers?

Although they hadn't introduced themselves, Paimon had figured out their names along the way.

The ranger with erect ears and a large tail was named Tinari, and the little green-haired girl next to him was named Cole.

"Yes, my master is a very skilled forest ranger. I'm a trainee forest ranger..."

When talking about himself, Cole scratched his head sheepishly.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Paimon with anticipation. "Aren't you the famous traveler?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

“Amber wrote to me, the blond traveler and his companion Paimon!”

When Amber was mentioned, Cora's eyes lit up.

Tina turned her head and looked at the group of people with some surprise.

Even though he was far away from the church and working as a forest ranger in Huachengguo, he inevitably heard about the traveler's deeds.

Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma – this traveler is famous in every country.

If I'm not mistaken, the white-haired youth beside me should be Jiang Bai, the one who withstood General Wuxiang's slash.

Upon hearing that the other person knew Amber, Paimon immediately felt a significant sense of closure.

"So you know Amber? We're good friends."

“I lived in Mondstadt for a while before returning to Sumeru. I never expected you to come to Sumeru…”

"Oh, I see. We really are destined to meet..."

All the way back to Huacheng Guo, neither of the two unconscious people showed any sign of waking up.

Jiang Bai, especially, was sleeping soundly on Gudu's back.

Jiang Bai felt as if he had entered a special space.

The space was dreamlike, and a colossal tree that seemed to stretch across the heavens and earth appeared before him.

The giant tree emitted a shimmering glow, seemingly composed of invisible energy.

A faint murmur echoed in this space.

"The world... has forgotten me..."

Jiang Bai, not understanding what was going on, slowly approached the unknown tree.

His intuition told him that this might be the legendary World Tree.

That World Tree that records all the information in the world.

He walked forward and reached out to touch the branches of the World Tree, trying to find his record within it.

A massive flood of information rushes into the mind; the raw, unfiltered information is chaotic and easily overwhelms the consciousness of ordinary people.

Chapter 681 One Mishap, Unpredictable Consequences

Jiang Bai's consciousness was like a lone boat on the sea. Caught off guard, the small boat was capsized by a huge wave, and the brain's protection mechanism was activated, forcibly exiting this space.

Inside the forest ranger's cabin, Jiang Bai opened his eyes with a blank expression.

Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?

He felt his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't remember anything.

When Gudu saw that he was awake, it made a cheerful purring sound and nuzzled his head against his shoulder.

It has to be said that pets resemble their owners; Jiang Bai likes to rub against Hu Tao, and Gu Dong likes to rub against him.

Jiang Bai subconsciously reached out and patted its head, but his brows furrowed tightly.

It feels so familiar, but I can't quite place it.

He sat on the bed, unconsciously rubbing his head, lost in thought.

Not long after, Tinari pushed open the door and came in.

"you're awake."

Tina Li was not too surprised by Jiang Bai's awakening.

Kong in the small house next door had also woken up.

Jiang Bai didn't speak, but was instinctively on guard.

When you know nothing, you must be cautious about everything.

"Is there anything else that's bothering you?" Tinari looked over inquiringly.

Jiang Bai shook his head.

"It's good that you don't feel uncomfortable. Although the fragrance is harmless to the body, people who are stimulated by it are still prone to headaches and confusion after waking up. You'd better rest here for a few more days until you're fully recovered before leaving..."

"Aromatic fragrance?"

"It's the incense that Haibasha lit when she taught you to meditate."

"So I inhaled this incense and then passed out?"

Jiang Bai gleaned a lot of information from this conversation, but something felt off.

Although his mind was blank, he felt things shouldn't be that simple.

If his brain was normal before he fainted, why was his mind blank after he woke up and he couldn't even remember who he was?

"This fragrance must have more than just this, right?"

Tina's eyes flickered slightly. "Did you sense something too?"

The empty space next to it is directly linked to the World Tree. Could it be the same for him?

Jiang Bai remained silent.

Seeing his reaction, Tinaly knew that it was almost certainly true.

"The Spirit Fragrance is made from several plants created by the Great Tree King. It can stimulate people's perception of the power of the Grass God. Some with sensitive perception can briefly connect with the World Tree through it..."

'World Tree...' Jiang Bai murmured the word in his heart.

What will happen if I connect?

His intuition told him that this matter was related to the World Tree.

"Ok?"

Tina felt that Jiang Bai's situation might be different from Kong's.

However, he didn't know Jiang Bai well, and this was the first time they had met. Since they had already connected, it wouldn't hurt to explain.

"The World Tree contains all the memories and knowledge from ancient times to the present, and scholars try to find answers through it. But it is also a very dangerous thing."

Seeing that Jiang Bai was only lost in thought and didn't speak, Tina suddenly asked:

"You didn't stumble upon knowledge of the World Tree, did you?"

Tina's expression was very serious, knowing that connecting to the World Tree was an extremely dangerous matter.

The knowledge contained in the World Tree is vast and boundless, and even includes the knowledge of the gods.

Many scholars in the Order of the Church went mad after coming into contact with this knowledge.

If you don't pay attention to the methods and rashly come into contact with that massive amount of knowledge, your brain will be overwhelmed by the flood of memories, and you will become an idiot.

What will happen if I come into contact with it?

Jiang Bai felt he had solved the case.

My current situation is due to my rashly venturing into the knowledge of the World Tree.

Tina's expression was unusually serious. "What's your situation now?"

The person in front of me has definitely recklessly touched upon the knowledge of the World Tree.

After talking for so long, Jiang Bai felt that the person with ears on his head in front of him didn't seem to have any hostility towards him, so there was no harm in saying it.

The other person is probably one of the few who can help him.

"I can't remember anything," Jiang Bai said truthfully.

Gu Dong, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

The owner has lost his memory, what should we do?
