The New Era Arrives: Giant World

Chapter 168 Fierce Battle Against the Mysterious Tree Overlord

Led by the Queen's sister, the eerie, insulated clone traversed a dense forest, following a winding path. They passed through a peculiar grove where the leaves, like mirrors, reflected their surroundings. As they walked, the leaves swayed gently, as if whispering secrets to them.

Finally, they arrived at the source of the tree—the Timber Tree Temple. This temple, built of massive timbers, exuded an ancient aura. The walls were carved with exquisite patterns, telling the history and legends of the tree race.

The eerie, insulated clone and the queen's sister cautiously entered the hall, which was filled with a strange atmosphere. They ascended the stairs and finally arrived at a spacious hall. In the center of the hall stood a colossal tree, its trunk thick and its branches lush, radiating powerful vitality. This was the Tree Ruler—the Tree Ridge.

The trees trembled, as if welcoming their arrival. The Tree Lord asked in a deep voice, "What brings you here?"

The Queen's sister stepped forward and said respectfully, "Great Tree Lord, we have come to seek your guidance." Her eyes were filled with expectation and awe.

After a moment of silence, the Tree Lord slowly spoke, "Why have you come?" His voice echoed in the hall, carrying an irresistible power.

The eerie, insulated clone looked at the Tree Overlord and said, "I've taken a liking to your abilities and attributes and want you to become one of our allies. But before that, I will give you strength far exceeding what you once had. What do you say?" His tone was calm, but it revealed an undeniable authority.

The Tree Overlord pondered for a moment, then said, "In that case, let's begin." With that, he closed his eyes and began to adjust his state.

Meanwhile, the eerie, insulated clone extended its palm, and a powerful, eerie primal force surged from its center, slowly flowing into the Tree Lord's body. As time passed, the Tree Lord's aura gradually changed, becoming increasingly powerful.

After some time, the aura surrounding the Tree Lord, Tree Ridge, suddenly changed drastically. The previously weak aura instantly dissipated, replaced by a powerful and stable one. He opened his eyes, which shone with a bright light, as if he had been reborn.

Under the influence of this eerie primal power, the Tree Lord, Tree Shaft, underwent a wondrous transformation. His hair turned into a deep, multicolored tuft, shimmering like stars in the night sky. The hair was short and neat, its naturally curly strands reflecting a beautiful sheen in the sunlight.

His face was sharply defined, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His eyebrows, like two delicate crescent moons, added a touch of mysterious charm to his eyes. His nose was high and straight, and his lips were soft and red, exuding an eerie yet alluring aura.

He was tall and slender, with well-proportioned and powerful limbs and smooth lines. From his neck to his waist and abdomen, from his shoulders to his thighs, every curve was like a masterpiece of nature, exuding a unique charm. He looked full of power and vitality. The Tree Overlord moved his body and felt an unprecedented surge of power in his heart. He looked gratefully at the strange, insulated clone and said, "Thank you, I feel much better now."

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve." The eerie, insulated clone nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, you will become our more powerful ally." His eyes flickered with an eerie light, as if he were pondering something.

The Tree Overlord nodded slightly, a resolute glint in her eyes: "I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you and Her Majesty the New Queen." Her voice was deep and powerful, filled with loyalty.

"Very good." A barely perceptible smile appeared on the lips of the eerie, insulated clone, his eyes revealing confidence and pride. "Now, what you need to do is maintain your appearance, disguising your weakened strength and abilities in this state. For those who enter your location, you should seize the opportunity to recruit them into our ranks. Of course, if you encounter any ungrateful or unreasonable individuals, you can deal with them as you see fit, as long as it doesn't affect our plans. Understand?" "Understood," Tree Lamp replied.

Then, the tree trunk returned to its original weak state, even more listless than before. Its eyes were dull and lifeless, its breath weak, as if it might collapse at any moment. However, this was only a superficial appearance; in reality, it had mastered a powerful force that could be unleashed in an instant.

“Remember, don’t reveal your true strength,” the eerie, insulated clone reminded him again. “I will,” Tree Lamp assured him.

The Tree Overlord nodded, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Understood! I will act according to your instructions and will not allow anyone to hinder our plans."

After saying this, the eerie, insulated clone led the Queen's sister away from this place and had her lead the way to the next location.

The Tree Master, Tree Ridge, sat quietly in the Timber Hall, following the instructions of the strange, insulated clone, awaiting the arrival of the others. His gaze sometimes flashed with cunning, and at other times became unwavering.

In this world full of mystery and danger, Treethorn knows he bears a heavy responsibility. He must act with extreme caution, protecting his identity and secrets while also seeking opportunities to recruit more people into their ranks. Only in this way can they achieve their grand goals.
