—That's why they were able to enter the Mountain and Sea Restaurant.

"Okay, I'll take care of it. Here's the pendant as payment."

Xu Milu put her original body back on her head, closed her eyes, and used her divine sense to explore the surrounding environment. Sure enough, she saw a village at the edge of the forest.

Before Ayasi could answer, she waved her hand slightly, and a gentle breeze swept by, carrying the man straight towards the village.

[Host, the cross carries the energy of the Mystic Tree. It is speculated that the Mystic Tree tokens you previously threw into other dimensions have ended up in the Tospa dimension, activating the anchor point permissions for that dimension.]

Xiao Qi appeared at just the right time:

[To be precise, the host allowed him to enter, and he did not possess any aura belonging to Lavinia. The alarm is off.]

Xu Milu tilted her head, and the "Ren Qingluan" under her bottom unconsciously followed suit, shaking its head as well:

"In my search for new dimensions, I did release some locators made of labyrinthine tree branches into the spacetime turbulence. I didn't expect this new dimension to have them too?"

Yes, this person was detected to be harmless and extremely hungry, and given that he possessed a "Milky Way Tree" badge, he perfectly fit the definition of a "diner," and was therefore allowed to enter.

Xu Milu breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming the presence of energy fluctuations in the Maze Tree locator once again.

Lavinia has disappeared without a trace, leaving her now on edge, fearing it might be another trap.

"The spiritual energy in this plane is quite abundant. Since there are professions like magicians here, it means that there is more magical power here compared to the Gourmet Plane."

Xu Milu flapped her wings:

"Then the first thing to do is to fulfill our promise to Asia and go see what's going on with those monsters."

A faint, hazy silver light appeared on the restaurant's entrance. The lotus root figure belonging to "Ren Qingluan," with a small yellow chick on its head, passed through the seemingly real entrance. Its feet suddenly disappeared, and the next second it was standing on soft, green grass.

"Duang—"

"Duang—"

"Duang—"

As soon as they sensed the presence of living beings, hordes of monsters quickly gathered, uttering demonic whispers. Slippery, spherical creatures hopped forward, their smooth surfaces constantly secreting a jelly-like, sticky liquid. These monsters varied in size, but all had translucent, grassy-green bodies. Countless monsters huddled together, their sheer number making one dizzy.

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

"Duang!"

Xu Milu stared at the constantly bouncing slime and fell into an eerie silence.

Monster?

A powerful monster that is harming the village?

What is this?

What is this?!
