Chapter 302 One Step at a Time

The floats arrived at the holy site amidst an eerie atmosphere.

This time, because the Holy Land was closed, Jiang Xi's beastmen could not go in, so only she and Camus could enter.

On her way back, Mu Ling learned the truth about today's parade and immediately disagreed.

"What if you hide the marriage contract stone tablet inside and force the female master to enter into a marriage contract with you!"

Camus gave him a cold look.

“I do hope that the bond stone tablet is hidden inside.”

Mu Ling: "So cunning!"

Camus ignored him.

Jiang Xi didn't want to dwell on these matters any longer, so she spoke directly.

"Let's go, and come back soon."

Even with the contract stone tablet, a unilateral contract cannot be formed if she refuses.

Lu Liufeng stepped forward and said gently.

"I'll wait outside for the female master to come out."

Jiang Xi snorted.

I'll settle the score with you when we get out!

She bid farewell to the beastmen and turned to ascend the steps of the sacred site.

The so-called holy site was closed; it was actually a layer of light curtain floating at the entrance.

Jiang Xi reached out her hand, but it was easily passed through.

She turned and looked at Camus with a puzzled expression.

Camus remained expressionless, took her hand, and stepped inside.

Jiang Xi exclaimed "Hey!" and was pulled inside.

She remembered that the entrance was a set of steps leading down, and instinctively she hurriedly stepped down, but instead of stepping on the downward steps, she stepped on Camus's instep and bumped into his arms.

With her lower back supported, Jiang Xi pushed his hand away and took a step back.

She looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was doing it on purpose.

But soon, she had no time to wonder.

Because she discovered that with this step, she had directly entered a sacred place covered with glowing vines.

Those winding passages have disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a great light shone before her eyes, and with a blink of an eye, she entered that world filled with light once more.

There was only her, not Camus.

Jiang Xi quickly shouted to those around her.

"are u there?"

"My beastmen and I have both improved significantly. What do you want to tell me? Can you tell me now?"

Jiang Xi sensed a gentle aura surrounding her.

Then, a sigh was heard.

"She's still as reckless as ever."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xi immediately thought of what the Ancient Mother Tree had said.

The Ancient Mother Tree called Regina a coward, while the Royal Mother Tree Regina said she was too reckless.

"##￥￥%……There is a deviation."

Jiang Xi smiled: "What went wrong? I couldn't hear what was said before."

After a brief silence, the voice rang out again.

"coordinate."

Jiang Xi pressed further, "What coordinates?"

"Changed coordinates".

Jiang Xi smiled: "Could you explain it a little more clearly?"

"Your #￥ is not enough, I can't hear you."

Jiang Xi sighed.

"All right."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

After a long silence, the other party spoke.

"Don't trust Mariam."

Jiang Xi: "Who is Mariam?"

She subconsciously felt that this might be the name of another mother tree.

"I don't know where she is."

"Do not utter our names outside of the source; these will become our coordinates."

coordinate?

In other words, as long as she speaks the name of the Mother Tree outside, her exact location will be sensed.

Jiang Xi was somewhat surprised.

These named mother trees seem to exist on a different level from those withered mother trees.

Regina is one, the Mother Tree of the Ancient Lands should be another, and now Mariam has appeared...

Mariam... she might also be the mother tree of some great tribal city...

At that moment, a halo of light fell on Jiang Xi, and she heard the mother tree speak.

"The coordinates have been changed. Camus and Lancelot will take you to the correct coordinates."

Jiang Xi was about to ask again when the voice rang out again.

"When the time comes, you will naturally understand that you cannot bear all of this right now."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white light disappeared, and Jiang Xi appeared in a world filled with glowing vines.

As soon as her vision returned, she was met with a pair of emerald eyes, so close that they startled her.

She quickly took two steps back, and after recognizing Camus, she glared at him with annoyance.

Why are you getting so close?

Camus: "I called you just now, but you didn't seem to hear me."

He looked around at the chasm filled with glowing vines.

"Did the Mother Tree bestow a divine message upon you?"

Jiang Xi patted her chest, her heart pounding wildly.

"Pretty much, I guess."

After she finished speaking, she added.

"I'm done. If you're going to stay a while longer, I'll be going now."

Camus: "We have not yet received the blessing of the mother tree."

Jiang Xi: "We don't actually have a marriage contract."

Camus: "Once the Pact Tablet is found, it can be replaced."

Jiang Xi: "..."

How can she make Camus understand her?

She didn't want to talk anymore; it was a waste of breath.

She turned to leave.

But then, the vines throughout the cave suddenly began to shimmer.

Countless emerald green lights enveloped Jiang Xi and Camus.

She sensed something was amiss and quickly grabbed Camus, channeling her healing powers into his body.

Camus grasped her hand in return.

Jiang Xi and Camus shone brightly.

The two of them entered a mysterious and profound state of consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, the light on his body slowly disappeared.

The moment Jiang Xi regained consciousness, she heard several sounds of fabric tearing.

She turned her head and saw the golden elk she had seen in the Camille Sea of ​​Power standing among a pile of scraps of cloth.

Its skin was a pale golden like that of a Ferghana horse, its eyes were turquoise, and its forked antlers were a deep gold with a faint halo emanating from them. Under the glowing vines, it seemed to be one with the cave.

The deer was very tall, and Jiang Xi had to look up to meet his gaze.

"Camille?"

She asked tentatively.

The golden elk lowered its head, its clear blue eyes reflecting her surprised face. It slowly spoke, uttering Camus's voice.

"My lady, I have reached the critical point of breakthrough and need to go into a period of slumber."

Jiang Xi: "Huh?"

"Is your backlash over yet?"

As she spoke, she reached out, wanting to touch his skin to check the condition of his supernatural abilities.

But Camus lowered his head again and placed the deep golden antlers into her hands.

Jiang Xi didn't think much of it and simply closed her eyes to check.

Camille's sea of ​​supernatural powers, which would normally take three or four days to fully repair, was instantly restored to its original state with the help of the mother tree.

What surprised Jiang Xi even more was that Camus, with his extraordinary abilities, was on the verge of breaking through to the Earth Rank. If she wasn't mistaken, he should be about to break through to the Earth Rank!

What the heck!

Lu Liufeng and the others worked so hard to break through, but Camus succeeded in one step?

As Jiang Xi stood there stunned in shock, the golden deer in front of her slowly bent its limbs and knelt down.

The golden antlers in her hand suddenly felt heavy, and Jiang Xi supported them with her palm.

She withdrew her hand and looked over. Camus had already closed his eyes and was kneeling in the glowing vines, breathing evenly and calmly.

It seemed to have entered a deep sleep.

Jiang Xi scratched her head.

"When are you going to wake up? Aren't you going to tell me?"

She looked at the sleeping golden deer, then at the cave covered with glowing vines.

"Never mind, I'd better go first."

Jiang Xi turned around and looked for a way out.

She took a step forward.

Then, in a flash, they found themselves on the steps outside the holy site.

She stood on the steps and greeted Lu Liufeng and the others below.

But as soon as she raised her hand, she found that everyone below, whether her beastmen, beast guards, or holy deer guards, was staring at her in shock.

Jiang Xi belatedly turned around, her dark eyes widening little by little in the halo of light.

"This is……"
