He had heard from the players who had discovered the rotten tree that the collapsed ruins had existed for a long time.
‘Now, it suddenly changed… Could one relate this to the Crimson Moon?’
Although there was no definite connection between them, it gave him a very subtle feeling.
“Don’t go near the central area. There might be supremely soul-crushing demon heroes hiding inside. It’s enormously dangerous.
!!
“At the periphery, help me find out as much as possible about the reason for the abyssal demons’ appearance…
“I have something important to deal with, so I can’t spare any time.”
One could only describe the battle strength of the players as ordinary. A small team of stone statues of the dead could quickly slay them.
It was futile in battle. But it was suitable for gathering information.
“Alright, go ahead. If there’s anything you need, just let me know.”
They were very self-aware and did not compete blindly.
Richard did not stay any longer. He flew up into the sky and landed on a skeleton blood dragon. He sped off in another direction.
He looked at the skeleton blood dragon and the stone statue of the dead that covered the sky.
Hyena and the others all revealed envious gazes.
“Boss Qingqiu is indeed Boss Qingqiu…”
‘Whoosh!’
Richard flew across the sky without any scruples. That caused many players to exclaim.
However, he didn’t mind these guys entangled with the demons and quickly flew north of the collapsed ruins.
[Rotten Tree.]
The goal of this trip.
Although he was curious about why the demon would suddenly appear, the most important thing was to find the rotten tree.
He wanted to confirm if this evil tree of darkness was still alive.
Whether or not he could recover.
Everything else was secondary.
His flying speed was swift. Even the collapsed ruins that occupied dozens of kilometers could not withstand the flying troops’ speed.
Ten minutes later, Richard coincided with the mark on the map and subconsciously flew ahead.
In the next second, his eyes maximally widened.
He was bewildered.
A twisted, giant rotten tree a thousand meters more than fifty meters tall stood on top of countless ruins.
It stationed several abyssal demons a hundred meters away from the rotten tree. These chaotic and evil creatures did not dare to approach it at all.
One could see dozens of twisted branches of the rotten tree. They were like shriveled human arms that gave off a creepy feeling.
What was more shocking was that there were densely packed human skulls on the trunk of the giant tree. They were like the bumps of ordinary trees.
Countless skeletons covered the ground within a hundred meters. It was like the corpses in the mass grave had turned over.
It added countless horrors to the already terrifying scene around them.
In addition, demons, evil, darkness, and cruelty wandered around… One could use negative adjectives to describe this strange, twisted rotten tree.
Richard suppressed the fast beat in his heart and continued to approach.
The demon on the ground sensed the subtle aura and immediately raised its head. It released a soul-shaking roar.
Richard ignored the demons. But as he approached the rotten tree, he gradually felt terrible pressure.
It was pressure from the depths of his soul.
It was like an abyssal demon that could devour a demon god stared at him.
That feeling reached the 100-meter limit of the rotten tree.
Richard waved his hand to stop the troop. They did not step into the sky above the countless skeletons.
He fixed his gaze on the decaying tree that still seemed lifeless.
He opened his attribute panel.
[Rotten Tree]
[Status: Withered (recovering)]
[Description: A mysterious evil tree.]
It was a simple attribute, and he could not see the details.
However, he had a bad feeling about the status of “recovering”.
“It could also receive replenishment after the abyss connected to the central plane?”
However, “how could he benefit from it” was the biggest problem.
Currently, he does not have a treasure like the dark contract.
As his thoughts spun, he opened the Black Gold System.
The notification made his breathing subconsciously down.
[Rotten Tree]
[Tree of decay, the lord of the 333rd level of the bottomless abyss, the King of Decay. A seed planted by Labrace for some scheme. It contains a wisp of the authority of decay of Labrace.]
[1. It can water the power of the abyss. It could allow the rotten tree to regain its strength. At that time, Labrace can use the authority of decay to recover control of the rotten tree.]
[2. You can use holy water to rinse the rotten tree. That could destroy its vitality and shatter its authority. Labrace will permanently lose a portion of it and decrease its power.]
[3. Consumes divine power to snatch the decaying authority hidden in the rotten tree.]
Richard felt his mouth go dry after he read the notification.
The weather was about to change…
A portion of the kobold god’s clone he imprisoned, and also the statue of the dwarf god, lay in his hands. He had now discovered another abyss demon, a backup plan buried in the central plane.
“Is that because a new expansion is coming, so some top presence is gradually surfacing?
“But can the current players deal with the existence of this level?”
His scalp even felt tingling.
“In a horrible place like the abyss. Who can rule the lord of a plane if this level is singled-out like the kobold?”
******
