The tree diameter is only half a meter, but the appearance of this giant tree that supports the stability of the entire space is plain and unadorned.

Raymond was not interested in slaughtering the weak phantom monsters that had lost their ability to resist, so after searching the entire town and finding nothing, he came to the giant tree that looked like a dark flame tree and began to check.

The almost straight trunk expanded and stretched out in vain after it rose to a position of about 90 meters, and the branches that continued to grow straight upward after forking formed a posture similar to a supporting support. With the help of its huge leaves and the obscure force field barrier at the top, the top of the tree was supported and stabilized.

When the fingers tapped lightly on the trunk, a dull sound could be heard, and the range of its roots detected by perception had actually exceeded the area occupied by this space lock and penetrated as deep as 100 meters underground. (Top Novel Mobile Version)

Raymond still remembers the value of the small piece of Nether Flame Wood that he accidentally obtained in the wizard plane, and because it is also a very rare resource for Crystal, Raymond is also very satisfied.

However, if it is collected, not only a large amount of space will be needed for storage, but the territory of the phantom monster will sink immediately and completely disappear.

And from the perspective of time, even if it is collected now, it cannot be sent to Crystal in a short time, so whether to collect it or not is a very debatable question...

Thinking in his heart, Raymond, whose fingers were unconsciously scratching the trunk, vaguely felt that there was some kind of emotion accumulating and releasing in this Nether Flame Tree. It seemed to be expressing something.

It is not special that plants have wisdom.

It’s just that Raymond couldn’t understand what this Nether Flame Tree wanted to express.

But because of this. He soon decided not to collect this Nether Flame Tree this time, leaving it for later when he entered the Nether Realm or when Crystal needed it, and let her go by herself.

After making up his mind, Raymond, who was slowly rising, came to the top branch. After careful selection, he chose a thick but non-load-bearing branch, cut it off from the root and threw it into the storage ring.

When cutting the branch, Raymond could clearly feel that the dark flame tree was trembling slightly. And the breath released by it also seemed negative and depressed, obviously sensing this behavior.

Raymond thought with surprise, it's a pity that there is no way to know what it expresses. Otherwise, I can know why the phantom monster here is so weak...

Seeing that the cut wound was covered with a layer of transparent colloid and healed, after a few breaths, the slightly bitter smell emanating from the broken section could not be smelled. Raymond, who did not stop, walked along the horizontally growing branches towards the town.

Because until now, the 'heart core of the phantom monster leader' that the old dean Shura asked to collect has not been found. And in the previous exploration of the phantom monsters in the entire town. He did not find any obvious leader-level existence.

But the old dean Shura once said that even if the leader of the Netherworld creatures such as the Phantom Demon dies, its heart core will be collected and properly preserved by its tribe. The larger the tribe, the more heart cores are stored in the Phantom Demon territory, and the higher the quality.

A moment later, Raymond appeared above the town square, but he was puzzled.

Because within the canopy above it, there is a range of about ten meters that cannot be detected by its perception. And the branches growing around it have also twisted and entangled with each other. It is completely different from the situation detected before.

It is like the Nether Flame Tree that is specially designed to support the Phantom Demon territory. Its branches are either horizontal or straight upward. Only those branches as thick as thumbs will have a small degree of bifurcation and twisting due to the changes in the shape above them. Therefore, Raymond, who felt strange, could not help but increase the intensity of perception and tried to infiltrate that area for a detailed inspection.

An invisible barrier, as soft and tough as a water film, but as Raymond's perception strengthened and he approached, the invisible barrier of this secret area was finally pierced by his perception.

But just when Raymond saw the situation inside clearly, a chill suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, causing him to fall down without hesitation.

A hissing sound!

Along with the sudden sound, a huge breath suddenly spread out from that area, and dozens of invisible air currents like smoke and silk also passed through the branches and leaves of the Dark Flame Tree, and instantly appeared around Raymond, locking the space he was moving like a rope!

Cold and evil, Raymond, who had just escaped from the horizontal branches, had to stop falling. While the force field on his body was shining brightly, his hastily swung right fist, also hit directly with the sound of breaking through the air!

A muffled sound!

The horizontal branches that blocked the view, the overgrown branches and the dense leaves around them were instantly turned into dust and dissipated. The visible shock wave trajectory formed by the fist wind also entered the area without hindrance, breaking the invisible barrier and completely revealing it.

Within the edge area with a diameter of about ten meters, there was not a single branch or leaf.

A corpse facing the town square was suspended in the center, but after being hit by Raymond's fist, it seemed to absorb the huge force, and it just trembled and stopped moving.

At this time, the dozens of invisible air currents that locked Raymond's movement, but when they shrank towards Raymond, they touched his protective barrier, and then they seemed to be evaporated, turning into scattered breath and disappearing.

Raymond, whose threat was lifted, did not relax, but became more alert and vigilant.

Because the seemingly calm corpse actually gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, the strong palpitations made his palms a little damp!

The corpse seemed to be sleeping, its neck twisted abnormally to one side, and the left side of its face was behind its shoulder blade. Although the body looked completely rotten, the black and purple strips and silky rotten flesh hanging on the arms and legs had not been peeled off from the black bones.

The organs in the chest and abdomen seemed to be dried by the wind. The heart that could be vaguely seen between the chest and ribs was only the size of a chicken heart, but it seemed to be beating in the entanglement of purple-black blood vessels!

But just when Raymond noticed that his heart was still beating, he suddenly shook, and then Raymond's heartbeat began to accelerate. In the blink of an eye, the bang bang bang sound was like a giant drum being struck, causing the air around him to tremble and ripple.

Raymond, whose pupils shrank suddenly, released his restrained breath without hesitation.

The huge momentum of the peak wizard of the Dawn level caused the air around him to be suddenly expelled and emit a sharp sound. The heart that had just accelerated its beating gradually slowed down as Raymond's momentum rose, and returned to normal in an instant.

But just when his body was restored to its original state, a gleam of light suddenly burst out from the closed eyes of the corpse above his head, and then it suddenly disappeared from Raymond's sight!

Raymond, who locked it when he sensed the danger, couldn't help but feel nervous, and fell down again without hesitation.

The speed was instantly increased to the limit, and everything in his field of vision was distorted and deformed.

But just when he had just left the previous position, five black fingers stretched out from the void and grasped the place where Raymond's heart should be in the shape of claws.

In a flash, Raymond, who felt a sense of panic, calmed down instead.

The image of the creatures of the underworld that was quickly called up in his mind was completely inconsistent with the rotten corpse in front of him.

"Is it that my luck is so bad? Can I encounter those extremely rare guys in this fantasy demon territory?"

Raymond, who once again firmly locked the five black fingers, couldn't help but think of such a possibility when his feet touched the bluestone on the town square... (To be continued...)
