596. Meeting the Heavenly Crown Purple Fir Divine Tree Again (Bonus Chapter for Tips)

Then, they continued their journey towards the Vine Crown Mountain layer world. As they crawled, they were naturally attacked by Feather Demon, but these small Feather Demon were nothing more than casualties before Tang Miao's thunderbolts...

Upon reaching the summit, Li Dexin and the others parted ways with Tang Miao and his group. Moreover, seeing that he seemed determined to never see them again, Tang Miao neither spoke nor tried to stop him.

After all, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for him to beg for help later?

"Shall we continue on?" Zhang Xiaohou asked Tang Miao.

Before he could speak, Zhao Manyan suddenly pointed to a giant purple tree standing higher in the distance and exclaimed, "Look over there!!!"

The giant purple trees, bathed in sunlight, shimmered with a dreamlike, crystalline effect against the blue sky. It should have been a magnificent sight, inspiring awe and wonder. Yet, both Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan were stunned!

"The Heavenly Crown Purple Fir Divine Tree... I never expected that this demon would escape here!" Mo Fan said, clenching his fist.

Clearly, he harbored immense hatred for this devilish tree!

Of course, it wasn't just him; Yu Shishi was the same way.

After all, wasn't the totem she was protecting wrongfully killed because of this tree?

While looking at the tree, Mo Fan explained to Zhang Xiaohou how terrifying it was...

Even Apas was somewhat dumbfounded after hearing what he said!

Even if humans didn't notice anything amiss, they wouldn't even realize she was a terrifying Great Demon if she didn't get close...

"Since we've run into it, let's just kill it while we're at it," Tang Miao said, stretching his shins.

If it were still the demonic tree at its peak, he might not have been able to deal with it.

However, eight of the Heavenly Crown Purple Fir Divine Tree had already been severed by Chen Ying's grandmother at the cost of her life. The remaining main tree, while still incredibly powerful, was not insurmountable. Nevertheless, the Feather Demon inhabiting its body still needed to be considered.

"Hmm... Boss Tang, can you handle it?" Although Zhao Manyan was also annoyed by the tree, he was actually quite reluctant to take it on if he wasn't confident.

After all, it would be a real shame to try and lose everything instead!

"I'm not sure," Tang Miao said with a smile.

"Then I think we should just leave it alone. After all, we should act within our capabilities," Zhao Manyan said hesitantly.

As for the disdain shown by Ling Ling and the other girls, Zhao Manyan simply ignored it.

What a joke! You can't even taste it yourself, so what's the point of pretending in front of them? Besides, even if you could taste it, it wouldn't be worth risking your life to show off!

There are women in this world!

As long as you're alive, what kind of stunning beauty won't you encounter?

"Look at you, so cowardly. Can't you be a little more manly? If it were really in danger, do you think Tang Miao would say he would go and solve it?" Yu Shishi said disdainfully.

"That's true, but why does it sound so awkward?" Tang Miao turned to look at Yu Shishi and said.

This girl must have been aroused inside the tree curtain, that's why she's sexually frustrated?

Yu Shishi simply responded with a "humph~".

Just then, a faint sound came from the side. Tang Miao immediately noticed it. Similarly, Apas was very alert. Her eyes suddenly shone with a piercing light as she stared intently at the vines more than a hundred meters away from them.

The sound was coming from inside, and it was getting closer.

Suddenly, a charcoal-faced figure emerged from within. He scanned the surroundings with extreme vigilance, and when he spotted Tang Miao and the others not far away, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"You're here! That's great!" The charcoal-faced soldier jumped out of the vines and strode towards them.

"Huh? How did you get here? And how did you know we got here?" Zhao Manyan asked, puzzled.

"Finding clues is one of my strengths. Here's the thing, we've run into a bit of trouble, and we hope you can help us out of this predicament," said the charcoal-faced soldier.

"What kind of joke is this? We brought you here without charging you a single penny. Your boss would treat a thank you like it's his life, and now you expect us to help you?" Zhao Manyan immediately objected.

After all, he was still furious about Li Dexin's attitude just now!

Not only Zhao Manyan, but the others were the same!

"I'm sorry... I know our general went a bit too far, but... the person we need to save is really important, please help us..." the charcoal-faced soldier said again.

"What trouble have you encountered?" Tang Miao asked.

"That's how it is. Our Commander Ling Fei was so eager to save people that she disturbed a flock of Ice Sky Winged Bird, which resulted in our people being trapped inside a large tree hollow. The Ice Sky Winged Bird kept using freezing spells, trying to freeze us directly inside the tree trunk... I escaped using Shadow Element abilities," the charcoal-faced soldier said.

Zhang Xiaohou was immediately alarmed. What a joke! They really dared to mess with anyone!

Coupled with his displeasure with Li Dexin, he directly refused, saying, "You know nothing about the Qinling Mountains, and you act so recklessly and arrogantly. You'll end up like this sooner or later. Those Ice Sky Winged Bird are no benevolent creatures. We have other things to do. Let your Commander Li Dexin figure it out himself."

"General Zhang..." The charcoal-faced soldier hesitated, inwardly cursing Li Dexin...

Zhang Xiaohou completely ignored them, but Mo Fan came to Tang Miao's side and said, "Boss Tang, I think we can help them. After they rescue the person they need to save, let them come with us to deal with that Devil Tree."

The Purple Gold Army members are all quite capable; with them working together, the chances of defeating the Devil Tree are much greater.

So helping them out isn't out of the question!

Tang Miao did not refuse his suggestion as usual, but instead nodded and said, "You're right."

Then he looked at the soldier with the charcoal-like face and said, "I'll help you rescue your people. After you've rescued them, you'll come with me to deal with that demonic tree."

He didn't need their help; he just needed a reason to save people.

If it weren't Jiang Shaoxu there, but some other young master or lady from a wealthy family, Tang Miao wouldn't bother with them at all.

"No problem, no problem. It's only right to help each other when we're traveling!" The charcoal-faced soldier replied without the slightest hesitation.

Tang Miao was speechless at this decisive agreement. After all, this guy couldn't make the decision at all; where did he get the courage to agree?
