Chapter 448: Chapter 446: The Tree of Wisdom in the Forest

Looking at the battlefield where even the topsoil was nearly gnawed away, Gu Xi felt a surge of blood stuck in his throat, almost unable to hold back.

”Forget it, I don’t really need this body, pack up everything and prepare to leave.”

If such an event had happened before the White Training Grand Ceremony, Gu Xi would have at least grumbled a bit.

But post-ceremony, Gu Xi commanded a force over ten thousand strong, enough to be deemed a minor lord anywhere.

Level 9 soldiers weren’t sparse either; he didn’t lack those one or two bodies.

With a bit of self-consolation, Gu Xi really left this time.

Not long after Gu Xi’s departure, the stone statues discarded on the mountaintop began to change color; from gray to normal flesh color.

But due to the long passage of time, even if the petrification effect dissipated, these people couldn’t be revived.

In the end, they could only lie on this mountaintop, enduring wind and sun, eventually becoming mere bone fragments on the summit.

No one knew whether this fate was good or bad for them.

If it hadn’t been for Gu Xi’s intervention, they might have lasted hundreds more years, but now they might disappear without a trace in just a few years.

After descending the mountain, Gu Xi entered a grove.

To ensure safety, Gu Xi had sent ahead the Stone Golem and Corpse Poison Fly, but he did not wait outside the grove; when the Evil Coffin slipped down the slope, it smoothly entered the woods.

By then, Gu Xi only managed to catch a glimpse of the trees’ colors before losing sight.

Given the speed, finding herbs, let alone identifying a massive tree, was impossible.

Gu Xi merely felt the cold wind slashing at him as the Evil Coffin accelerated.

However, Gu Xi didn’t stop the Evil Coffin from acting this way.

At this moment, Gu Xi understood that the Evil Coffin was proceeding as per his orders.

All Gu Xi had in mind was reaching the designated valley on the map to find the Skull Flower.

The things along the way held no significance for Gu Xi; he didn’t want to waste time.

Yet, for some reason, the less Gu Xi wished for trouble, the more unexpected events occurred.

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

Since the Life-taking Stone incident, Gu Xi had always kept the special coins hanging from his left wrist.

The intention was to ensure he remained unharmed, reminding him even if influenced by mind-related powers.

After all, those who dabble with mind magic have dirty hearts.

Upon sensing a problem with his left wrist, Gu Xi immediately activated the Spirit Lamp effect, wanting to see if anyone was affecting his spirit.

Then he looked around, wary of being targeted.

But as Gu Xi moved, a bunch of dry grass flew out from his backpack.

At first, Gu Xi couldn’t figure out what it was.

Until the dry grass floated about ten meters away, Gu Xi realized.

Wasn’t this the lead for his long-term quest, the vanished wisdom?

Could there be a deceased Tree of Wisdom nearby?

Gu Xi opened the task list for a peek, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately tapped the Evil Coffin with his Cold Wind Staff.

”Follow it, as long as it stays on the main route, keep following.”

Gu Xi’s thinking was simple; if it was along the way, he could check it out. After all, the Tree of Wisdom wasn’t going anywhere.

If it wasn’t on the path, apologies, priority was the Leadership Skill now.

Whether the Tree of Wisdom offered benefits or not was irrelevant.

Gu Xi had numerous level 4 Skills and could train at the Chaoyang Radiance Guild, so skill levels didn’t bother him for reaching the fourth level.

Tasks en route could be done, but not if they interfered with the Leadership Skill quest.

Given Gu Xi’s orders, the Evil Coffin decisively followed the dry grass.

The dry grass, unaware of Gu Xi’s intentions, gently drifted ahead, wind or no wind.

Initially anxious, Gu Xi gradually settled into calmness.

In his mind, there wasn’t a pressing location to reach.

As the dry grass remained on the main route, slowing down was fine.

Since slowing down already, why not ease up a bit more?

Sitting in the swaying Evil Coffin, Gu Xi felt slightly sleepy.

Just then, the special coin on Gu Xi’s left wrist burned again, startling him awake.

Now Gu Xi was tense once more.

No way another task was pending completion.

Surely, there was a skill resembling hypnosis influencing Gu Xi’s spirit.

Pressing his right hand on the special coin, Gu Xi mused: What’s going on, meant for divination and counter-divination, now it’s countering hypnosis.

With a helpless chuckle, Gu Xi lifted the Spirit Lamp, preparing to use its power to resist the hypnosis impact.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi thought how having a complete set of Nine-Tails Divine Power would be ideal, then no spiritual power could affect him.

Not like now, unable to detect and resolve issues even if discovered.

Suddenly, the Evil Coffin halted.

Gu Xi raised the Spirit Lamp, looking ahead, discovering a huge fallen tree blocking the way.

The trunk alone stood over thirty meters tall, its brown bark covered in green-blue moss.

Before the tree, Gu Xi saw many fallen bodies covered in moss; they clearly breathed albeit weakly, ranging from human size to rabbits and mice.

Their heads pointed uniformly in one direction.

No further explanation needed; Gu Xi understood the situation before him.

The tree must have emitted hypnotic powder, not a spiritual hypnosis but a chemical one.

Contemplating, Gu Xi held his nose with one hand.

In this situation, falling asleep was not an option; sleeping might trap him in the tree’s influence zone.

The dry grass leading ahead also fluttered onto the tree.

Faced with this, Gu Xi promptly employed Soul Summoning Skill.

Uncertain of the tree’s vitality, but having activated the Black-robed Skeleton with Soul Summoning Skill before, Gu Xi thought to try it on the tree.

As the Soul Summoning Skill was cast, an ancient, slow voice sounded.

”Stop, a bit slower, slower, my old back...”
