The sacred tree, with its lush foliage and sculpted ice crystals, resembles a blooming pear blossom in snow.
"boom!"
The streams surrounding the sacred tree were blasted to pieces, and the lucky clover that drew life from it was completely wiped out, with even a layer of grass being torn off.
"Through tireless efforts, I barely achieved my expected goal."
Xiao Han nodded, and said regretfully.
His true goal was to plunder all the resources in this area, leaving the enemy with not even a speck of soil.
He hesitated slightly as he stroked the bone ring.
"That priest must have noticed my presence and will surely come to kill me."
"But for some reason, they haven't appeared yet. Perhaps they were wiped out by my older brother in a surprise attack."
Xiao Han pondered for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
He had completely forgotten that there was a huge pool of free labor inside the bone ring!
With a flick of his sleeve, the pale bone ring shone with a layer of light, and one after another, undead skeletons emerged from the magic circle.
Skeleton soldiers wielding worn-out iron swords, fully armed skeleton warriors, and imposing skeleton knights correspond to the three major ranks of Iron, Bronze, and Silver, respectively.
With a wave of Xiao Han's hand, a large group of undead split up and began to search this treasure land, which had not yet been completely plundered, once again!
"Wait, you bastard who's digging, who told you to dig like that? It's such a waste! Be more careful!"
"And that guy who's tearing off the turf, couldn't you at least tear off a whole piece of turf?!"
"Hey, you water bucket maker, you were trying to drown the slime, weren't you! Drain the slime out of the bucket first, then fill it with this stream water!"
"Sigh, I, a kind-hearted, gentle, and friendly little fox, can't just stand by and watch the slimes be harmed to death... I'll leave them here and let them live happily as a habitat."
"Hmm? There's still some decent soil under the stream. Uh... dig it up! The Divine Court is so wealthy and powerful, they can't possibly be so stingy as to not even give us some soil."
Xiao Han commanded a large group of skeletons and undead. Soon, the large number of skeleton soldiers were extremely efficient and wreaked havoc on the entire treasure land. They dug up the soil from the ground and filled the barrels of wine carried by the undead.
The clever little fox finally understood the true meaning of the Bone Ring. Inside the Bone Ring was a large subspace, filled with a large number of undead, which reminded Xiao Han of the mining trucks in a certain StarCraft game.
Therefore, Xiao Han proudly named this newly discovered skill... [Gold Miner].
"Charge! Brothers, cut down this tree and drag it away!"
Xiao Han stood imposingly, waving his hand and pointing to the divine tree, which was over ten meters tall in the center.
Instantly, a large group of skeletons, seemingly crawling out of the mud, grabbed their weapons and launched a fearless charge towards the sacred tree.
"Huff!"
But just as the spirits approached within five meters of the sacred tree, they suddenly turned to ashes and vanished into nothingness.
Xiao Han: “∑(°△°|||)”
Undead Skeleton: "(╯°Д°)╯"
The rational little fox led many undead back to the Bone Ring, a sacred tree containing forbidden power that the undead must not approach.
He frowned, pondering how to dig up the sacred tree along with the soil.
But with so much time having passed, Xiao Han figured his older brother would be looking for him, so he reluctantly abandoned the idea of the Divine Tree and had the Undead Knight clear a path ahead, breaking through an opening and rushing out.
"boom!"
The fortress caused an astonishing commotion. Above, the starry sky trembled, and countless stars gathered into a pure starlight, which converged into a pillar of light and poured into the divine tree!
Xiao Han could clearly see that as the power of the starry sky was poured in, the entire fortress was shaking, and the shaking became more and more violent.
The Starstone Fortress was built around this starry sky as its core, containing pure stellar power to nourish the divine tree.
Nourished by the starlight, the divine tree shone brightly. Even though the little fox dug up the magic crystals from its roots, even though the little fox dug up the surrounding spring of life along with the soil, even though the little fox stripped away all the frost-covered lucky clover in one go, the divine tree still shone with amazing brilliance!
Bathed in starlight, the pear blossoms on the tree, covered in snow-white petals, shed their white coats to reveal delicate pinkish-purple hues. The petals bloomed and gathered into a rain of blossoms that drifted down.
This scene left Xiao Han dumbfounded, and his desire to dig up the divine tree was rekindled.
...
“Brian…you…”
A pale sky, a blood-stained wasteland, a battlefield teeming with blood—Priest Luce opened his gray eyes wide as his head fell into a pool of blood amidst severed limbs and rotting flesh.
His vision was gradually obscured by blood, but a surge of faith, like a divine sword, tore through the barrier of blood, and his angry gaze fell on Brian!
Among the corpses were many of Luce's trusted followers, as well as a Bloodwing Bat King that had recently died, with half of its wing torn off and a bloody hole appearing in its abdomen.
"You...how dare you...betray my master...I will never...let you go..."
Luce gritted his teeth; the priest's special physique allowed him to maintain a certain level of life functions.
"Heh heh, the Lord in my heart is not the cowardly god you speak of."
Brian strode over, his handsome face filled with a sinister grin.
"call out!"
As the greatsword swung down, Priest Luce's head was severed and his body split in two. A tremendous force erupted, and the split body exploded into a cloud of blood mist!
"you!"
Witnessing his body being wantonly ravaged, Luce almost ground his teeth to powder. What kept him awake was the unwavering faith in his heart.
"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"
Seeing this, Brian laughed wildly, his blood-stained greatsword falling onto the corpses on the ground, wantonly ravaging them: "You haven't realized it yet, have you? Why do you always fail when you try to communicate with the God of Dreams?"
"What?"
Priest Luce was taken aback. He paused for a moment, then roared hoarsely, "...Could it be..."
"Heh, that's right. The Dream God you worship has long since fallen."
Brian said casually, a cold smile curving his lips.
The Dream Spirit Divine Court is nothing more than a front for them to maintain their operations.
"Your Excellency...kill..."
"Let the bishop avenge you? Haha, you'll be disappointed. The one who gave the order to kill you was none other than our respected bishop."
Brian grinned maliciously, his eyes revealing utter madness, and burst into laughter.
"No, that's impossible!"
A pile of rotting flesh and blood, Luce's head, still with a bewildered expression, soaked in large amounts of blood. Brian walked over and slowly lifted his foot.
"Bang!"
Accompanied by the sound of bone marrow rupturing, a spray of white brain matter spurted out.
"Tsk tsk, so this is what happens when someone forges a priest's office. It's troublesome."
Brian swung his greatsword, shaking off the bloodstains.
"Such abundant bloodstains should pave the way for the bishop's golden path. I can't wait, just like the demon god of old, who waved his hand and turned the entire city into a living hell... I can't wait..."
