"Is...is it really that serious?"
The black-faced elder suddenly tensed up.
They then summoned the other ghost generals, discussed the matter hastily, and then abandoned the ordinary tree ghosts, with the elders flying back to their clan territory with all their might.
Meanwhile, Xia Tianqiong had already entered the forbidden area.
He held a withered tree stump in his hand, on which were engraved complex runes.
This thing is the rune-inscribed tree stump, a sacred object of the Tree Demon Clan.
Walking through the forbidden area with it, as expected, no accidents occurred.
Besides the towering tree in the center, there are patches of flowers and grasses, as well as some low fruit trees, scattered throughout the space.
As Xia Tianqiong walked along the edge of the sky, observing the surrounding scenery, he gradually discovered some strange phenomena.
In some places, there used to be a large patch of purple flowers, but suddenly, all the purple flowers in a small area disappeared, and many red flowers appeared in their place, while the purple flowers that disappeared went to other places.
It's not that the flowers have changed locations, but that the entire plot of land has been swapped.
Xia Tianqiong understood; this was clearly a spatial distortion.
This forbidden space seemed to be divided into countless small pieces, each of which could be moved at will, like playing a jigsaw puzzle, sometimes pieced together haphazardly, sometimes perfectly.
Besides the spatial distortion, there is another interesting phenomenon.
There was a small tree about the height of a person, whose branches quickly sprouted flower buds, which then blossomed into flower buds, and in the blink of an eye, they bore bright red fruit.
The fruit ripens quickly and then falls off automatically.
But after falling into the air, it flew back and grew back on the branch.
And it quickly shrinks, the withered petals return to the shape of flower buds, and finally shrink back into the branches, and then the whole sapling becomes smaller.
Just when Xia Tianqiong thought it was about to transform into human form, having just witnessed a similar process, the sapling started growing again the next second, continuing to bloom and bear fruit.
Then this back-and-forth process just keeps repeating.
Xia Tianqiong watched for a while and suddenly realized that this was a time distortion.
It seems that in addition to spatial distortion, this place also has the characteristic of temporal disorder.
It truly lives up to its name as a forbidden area; without the rune tree stumps, it would be very dangerous here.
In the summer, Qiong dug up all the fruit trees he encountered along the way, regardless of their usefulness.
He didn't need to do it himself; the bespectacled boy was following behind him!
"Huh? So the heartwood of the Emerald Tree grows underground!"
Just as the bespectacled boy unearthed an inconspicuous little tree, Xia Tianqiong discovered that it was a blocky tree root, emerald green and shaped like a heart.
He took it in his hand and examined it carefully; it was indeed the heartwood of a jade tree.
It's just a bit small, clearly not mature yet.
"We can't let a single one of these small trees go."
Xia Tianqiong had just finished speaking to the boy with glasses when she quickly added, "Never mind, dig up all the trees here, and dig up some of the flowers and plants too, they might be useful."
If the Silver Fir Clan Elder were here, he would probably be furious with such banditry.
So next, he, along with the boy with glasses, went around digging up trees.
As they dug, they suddenly spotted a figure floating in the air ahead.
Xia Tianqiong thought an enemy had arrived and immediately became alert, but upon closer inspection, she was immediately shocked.
"Little trumpet, you're not dead yet!"
