"Is there any way to dig this piece of tree root out?"

After circling around the three Apple Tree, Gu Xi turned to look at Luna.

Luna shook her head helplessly.

Gu Xi is treating the dead as omnipotent.

Although the undead don't need money to work, their power is actually limited; they can't do things like Moving Mountains and Filling Seas in a short time.

Digging through the Apple Tree shouldn't be a problem, but it will take time.

Twelve hours is simply not enough, and the hidden map is nominally Labyrinth, so the time to enter the battle also needs to be taken into account.

This is way too tight.

Luna's shaking of her head made Gu Xi consider another option: how about finding the Grand Duke near the Route 19 Bus Station?

They say they found Apple Tree roots here?

Ask them if they are interested?

But Gu Xi shook his head at this thought.

Let's forget about it.

The Grand Duke is trying to figure out how to deal with that Apple Tree; there's simply no way to lure it over.

As for the Ghost's ability to pass through walls, the limit is 15 meters. Zombie with the ability to burrow underground, or other underground movement methods, are roughly at the same level.

This is a restriction on the player's soldiers, limiting their ability to bypass walls or other means at will.

When Gu Xi learned about these things in class, he still thought that the restrictions were well-intentioned.

After all, no matter what kind of City Lord is, they don't want the Ghost to walk through the walls they've worked so hard to build, or for a group of miner Zombie to dig them out from under their own floorboards one day.

But now Gu Xi desperately wants a unit that can bypass such a long Apple Tree and open the passage to the underground mausoleum.

However, the reality was just like that, and after hesitating for a moment, Gu Xi took out a blue pea seed from his pocket.

This is the [Assimilating Pea] that the library opened this week. It's Special Pea that can be grafted onto other vines or roots to absorb nutrients, control the vines, and eventually produce a treasure chest.

Gu Xi was originally waiting for the Evilwood Lake Blood Sacrifice to be completed so that he could use [Assimilating Pea] to graft that giant tentacle tree root.

Unexpectedly, such a thing happened as soon as I entered Westminster Abbey.

Although he was a little reluctant, Gu Xi still took it out.

Simply press blue peas onto the broken Apple Tree, and without Gu Xi action, the blue Pea Vine will grow automatically.

As the Pea Vine grew, the Apple Tree shrank noticeably, and the Pea Vine took this opportunity to Life-Life up the passageway.

Before long, a blue vine-covered path appeared in front of Gu Xi.

Gu Xi glanced into the alley and said, "The troops are returning to the city; just leave behind the Corpse Poison Fly."

Luna immediately understood Gu Xi's plan.

This vine-covered path is only wide enough for one person to pass at a time. Moving forward with these Skeleton Soldiers and Zombie would definitely slow you down.

It would be better to let them return to Aryadovi City first, and then release them once Gu Xi has found the underground tomb.

Luna then quickly led her troops to retreat into the City Gate.

Gu Xi had already taken the lead, running towards the vine-covered path with the Corpse Poison Fly.

Because the vine-covered path was too narrow, Gu Xi couldn't release the Evil Coffin, so he had to run forward on his own.

The bumpy, stumbling progress was noticeably slower, but thankfully the Apple Tree had been Assimilating Pea, so the journey was relatively unimpeded.

After running for about ten minutes, Gu Xi reached the end of the vine-covered path.

A Pea Pod, as tall as a person, appeared on the vine at the very front.

Below this Pea Pod is a bottomless pit.

Just by lying on the surface of the pit, Gu Xi could hear the whistling wind coming from below.

He knew very well that the entrance to the underground mausoleum was below, and Gu Xi could also faintly sense the water vapor below.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xi plucked a section of vine and threw it down.

About seven or eight seconds later, the sound of something falling into the water came from below.

The mausoleum has been flooded.

As a necromancer, Gu Xi has a certain level of expertise in judging the condition of buildings such as tombs and mausoleums.

It seems the Apple Tree's roots broke through the Sewer and, incidentally, also broke through someone else's mausoleum.

Although he didn't know Britain British tyrant the tomb below belonged to, Gu Xi still hoped that he would be more comfortable soaking in the water.

After taking a look, Gu Xi reached out and grabbed the Pea Pod at the end of the vine.

You have found a blue Pea Treasure Chest. Would you like to open it?

"I'm lucky, I opened a treasure chest as soon as I entered the dungeon."

Gu Xi smiled and said something, then squeezed the Pea Pod open with both hands, and at the same time a string of information popped up in front of him.

You have received 4 green Pea Grenade.

You have received 1 green Fairy Bean.

You have obtained Jade Pea (blue, inlay) *1.

[Pea Grenade (Green): Explodes automatically three seconds after Throwing, dealing 300 damage to all nearby enemies.]

[Fairy Bean (Green): Food. After consumption, it quickly restores 1000 health points and 1000 mana points, and can sustain one person for a day without hunger.]

[Jade Pea (Blue, Inlay): Inlaid in a weapon, it can be used to increase the level of one missile, ranged, or shooting skill by 2.

When inlaid on armor, it can be used to increase the level of one of the following skills by 2: defense, counterattack, or recovery.

When inlaid in jewelry, it can grant a +2 level to one designated passive skill.

Gu Xi's eyes lit up when he saw what he got from the Pea Treasure Chest.

Pea Grenade and Fairy Bean are minor matters; the Jade Pea is the key.

One skill level +2, and you can specify which skill it is.

Gu Xi now wishes she had a ring or a necklace with a hole right now; adding such a thing would be the best solution.

But after searching for a long time, Gu Xi found that he only had two pieces of equipment with holes.

With the Cold Wind Staff and the Reverse Lich at her disposal, Gu Xi hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to use the Jade Pea now or wait until she returned to look for a suitable accessory.

Just then, Luna floated in.

"Grown ups."

"Oh." Gu Xi then realized that now was not the time to think about these things.

Without much thought, Gu Xi stuffed everything into his bag, grabbed a loose vine, and headed down toward the mausoleum below.

Gu Xi held up the Mind Nether Lamp in one hand and held onto the vine with the other.

Another "ding" sounded in his ear.

[An underground mausoleum has been discovered. The hidden map is temporarily open. Please find the core of the underground mausoleum, the Crown of the Sacred Tree, at 11 hours, 33 minutes, and 29 seconds. Otherwise, the underground mausoleum will automatically close.]

[Upon successful completion, the hidden map will automatically unlock upon the next instance restart. The entrance to the hidden map will be located at the feet of the fallen paladin.]
