Wisdom Tree in Princess's Forest

Looking at the battlefield where the ground had been almost completely eroded, Gu Xi almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Forget it, I don't need one more corpse. Let's pack up and get ready to leave."

If Gu Xi had encountered something like this before attending the Bailian Grand Ceremony, he would have muttered something about it.

But after the Bailian Grand Ceremony, Gu Xi had more than 10,000 troops under his command, which would make him a minor warlord anywhere.

He has level 9 soldiers too, so he doesn't need one or two more corpses.

After consoling himself, Gu Xi decided to leave this time.

Not long after Gu Xi left, the Stone Statue that had been left on the mountaintop began to slowly change color, turning from gray to a normal flesh color.

However, too much time has passed, and even if the petrification effect is lost, these people can no longer be resurrected.

In the end, he could only fall on this mountaintop, waiting for the wind and sun to dry him, until he turned into a few White Bone Shards on the mountaintop.

It's hard to say whether this Fate is good or bad for them.

If it weren't Gu Xi this incident, they could have lasted for at least several hundred more years. But now, in their current state, it's possible that no one will even know they ever existed in just a few years.

After descending the mountain, Gu Xi entered a Princess's Forest.

Although Gu Xi had sent out the Gargoyle and Corpse Poison Fly in advance for safety reasons, he did not wait outside the Princess's Forest. When the Evil Coffin rushed down the hillside, it slid smoothly into the Princess's Forest.

At this moment, Gu Xi only had time to glance at the color of the trees in the Princess's Forest before he could see nothing at all.

At this speed, forget about finding herbs in the Princess's Forest; even if there's a tree that big, you wouldn't be able to tell what kind of plant it is.

Gu Xi felt a blast of cold wind hitting his face, and the speed of the Evil Coffin increased even further.

However, Gu Xi did not stop the Evil Coffin from doing so.

At this moment, Gu Xi understood that the Evil Coffin was moving forward according to his requirements.

Gu Xi now had only one thought in his mind: to rush to the valley specified on the map and find the Skull Flower.

The things along the way were meaningless to Gu Xi, and he didn't need to waste his time on them.

But for some reason, the more Gu Xi tried to avoid trouble, the more likely accidents were to happen.

As the Evil Coffin moved forward, Gu Xi suddenly felt a burning sensation on his left wrist.

Ever since the Sessho-seki incident, Gu Xi has been wearing Special Coin on his left wrist.

The purpose is to ensure that one is not affected in any way. Even if one is affected by mental abilities, this thing can at least remind one of something.

After all, those who play Mind Spell have dirty minds.

When Gu Xi felt something was wrong with his left wrist, his first reaction was to activate the Mind Nether Lamp effect to see if someone was influencing his mind.

Then he looked around to avoid being watched.

However, just as Gu Xi was about to act, a piece of dry weed flew out of his backpack.

Gu Xi didn't understand what this thing was at first.

Gu Xi didn't realize what had happened until the dry weeds had flown about ten meters away.

Isn't this the catalyst for that Long-Term Mission I've been undertaking, the Vanishing Wisdom?

Could it be that there is a dead Wisdom Tree nearby?

Gu Xi opened the task list, glanced at it, hesitated for a moment, and finally tapped the Evil Coffin with the Cold Wind Staff.

"Keep up with it, as long as you don't stray from the main direction, just keep following."

Gu Xi's idea was simple: if it was on his way, he could go and take a look. Anyway, the Wisdom Tree was right there, and he couldn't run away no matter how hard he tried.

If it's not on my way, then I'm sorry, but the priority right now is leadership skills.

If you can get benefits from the Wisdom Tree, then take them; if you can't, then forget about it.

Gu Xi already has quite a few level 4 skills, and he can also train at the Chaoyang Radiance Guild. In terms of skill level, he doesn't need one or two more level 4 skills.

So he can do tasks that are convenient for him, but if they interfere with his leadership skills, then sorry, he'll just pretend he didn't see them.

Upon receiving Gu Xi's order, the Evil Coffin decisively followed the withered weeds.

Those withered weeds had no sense of Gu Xi; regardless of whether there was wind or not, they just drifted slowly in front of us.

At first, Gu Xi was very anxious, but gradually Gu Xi calmed down.

In Gu Xi's mind, there didn't seem to be anything urgent.

These withered weeds haven't drifted off the main road yet, so let them go slowly.

Since I've already slowed down, why not slow down even further?

Sitting on the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi swayed back and forth, and actually felt a little sleepy.

Just then, the Special Coin on Gu Xi's left wrist burned again, waking Gu Xi up.

Gu Xi tensed up once again.

Surely there won't be any other tasks to complete this time.

There must be some kind of hypnotic technique influencing Gu Xi's mind.

With his right hand resting on the Special Coin, Gu Xi Secret Passage to himself: What kind of mess is this? It was supposed to be used for divination and counter-divination, but now it's turned into anti-hypnosis.

With a slightly helpless smile, Gu Xi raised the Mind Nether Lamp again, intending to use its power to resist the effects of hypnosis.

At the same time, Gu Xi was thinking that it would be best if he had the complete Nine-tailed Divine Might right now, at which point no mental power could affect him.

Unlike now, where we can't even detect things, and even after we do, we can't do anything about them.

Just then, the Evil Coffin suddenly stopped.

Gu Xi held up the Mind Nether Lamp and looked up, only to find a huge tree had fallen in front of him.

The fallen trunk of this large tree was over thirty meters tall, and its brown bark was covered with green moss.

Before the big tree, Gu Xi found many bodies lying on the ground, covered with moss. They were still breathing faintly. These bodies ranged from normal humans to rabbits and mice.

Their heads were all pointing in the same direction.

Needless to say, Gu Xi understood what was going on based on the current situation.

There's probably some kind of hypnotic powder under that tree. It's not some kind of psychological hypnosis; it's drug-induced hypnosis.

As he thought about it, Gu Xi pressed his nose with his hand.

You absolutely mustn't fall asleep in this situation. If you do, Gu Xi might not be able to escape the influence of this fallen tree.

At this moment, the withered weeds that had been leading the way slowly fell onto the big tree.

Faced with the situation, Gu Xi immediately used the Summoning.

Although it's uncertain whether the tree in front of them is dead or alive, the Black Robe Skeleton from before was activated using Summoning, so Gu Xi could try the same with this tree.

As Gu Xi's Summoning ended, an ancient and slow voice rang out.

"Stop, slow down, slow down, my back is killing me..."
