"Boss, what are you thinking about?" Long Zhui Yun took out some dried meat and gave it to Rong Hua.

Rong Hua took it over and said, "I was thinking, is it possible for mages to only use magic staff?"

"That's right, the magic staff condensing magic won't be a waste. You can take a good look at it when the general fights." Long Zhui Yun replied.

"Right." In fact, Rong Hua had already seen the attacks of the mages in Duan Canghai's general's estate. What she did not understand was why these people had to chant for a period of time when they were using magic.

For example, if a mage wanted to release a wind blade, he would first have to recite, "The great wind god, please bestow upon me the power of the wind." After saying this, he sent out the message.

And Rong Hua had secretly tried to shoot out wind blades. All she needed to do was to use his magic to form a blade of compressed air in her palm and then throw it out.

"Report …" The pathfinder ran back.

"What's going on up ahead?" Duan Canghai asked.

The scout said, "The mine cave is a bit collapsed, but we can still go in. It's just that a tree grew at some point in time and died."

Duan Canghai frowned. "There was no withered tree growing last month. Did you find the wrong entrance?"

"No, I found it according to the map. Ten days ago, there was a group of people who entered the mine. Could that withered tree have been planted by those people?" The spy said.

Duan Canghai nodded, "That's also possible. Did those people leave the mines?"

"No, I've asked for shadows. They didn't see anyone coming out." The scout replied.

Everyone packed and started their journey. Not long after, they saw a wasteland with weeds reaching to their chests.

A few hundred meters away, there was a huge yellow tree. Its huge roots were coiled around a hole. Presumably, that was where the mine was located.

"Move forward." Duan Canghai waved his hand.

The more Rong Hua walked, the more she felt that something was amiss. Suddenly, he realised something was amiss and shouted, "Stop."

Duan Canghai turned around and looked at him, "What happened?"

Before Rong Hua could say anything, the pretty mercenary beside Duan Canghai scoffed, "She must be scared. A little kid that hasn't even dried his milk should stay at home and drink it."

Duan Canghai glanced at the maid then asked gently, "Why are you telling me to stop? Did you find anything? "

Rong Hua pointed at the withered tree and said, "It's alive."

The beautiful mercenary chuckled, "Little brother, that tree was long dead. Didn't you see that it didn't even have a single leaf?"

Rong Hua shook her head: "I can feel that it's alive, because I'm a chemist so familiar with plants!"

When the beautiful mercenary heard Rong Hua say that she was a pharmacist, he curled his lips and no longer mocked her.

Duan Canghai moved his hand and took out a long staff. The golden handle of the staff had many thin red stripes on it. Upon closer inspection, it was a Yellow Springs Flower.

Duan Canghai's lips moved slightly, and a ball of flame appeared on the Netherworld Flower before quickly flying towards the dried up tree trunk.

Instead of burning as everyone had expected, the dead wood swung its branches and sent the fireballs flying.

"Hiss …" Everyone drew in a deep breath. He really was alive.

"Isn't it just a small demon tree? "What's there to be afraid of?" The beautiful woman disapproved.

Duan Canghai furrowed his brows. After pondering for a moment, he actually began summoning a demonic god. The one he summoned was a Bloodthirsty demonic god.

The Bloodthirsty Demon God emerged as a streak of light, attaching itself to the Yellow Springs Flower staff. Duan Canghai infused his mana into the staff, condensing a golden throwing knife that whistled as it flew towards Deadwood.

Duan Canghai's throwing knives were not knocked away by the branches, instead, they landed on the tree trunk and cut off a few branches.

"Attack effect, all mages prepare to attack together with magic." Duan Canghai immediately made the appropriate attack strategy.

Mages of all sizes stood in the front of the party and attacked. Very quickly, various flying daggers and fireballs struck towards Deadwood.

Rong Hua didn't make a move, she wanted to observe and learn.

It was a pity that the Mages' attacks were ineffective, as Deadwood's soft branches could not be stopped.

"General, that tree is very powerful. Our attacks are useless against it." Rushing Thunder said with a frown.

Duan Canghai nodded. "Everyone, think of a way. Let's see if we can strangle this thing without using our own life-saving talismans."

Rong Hua was also deep in thought. This tree's branches were even more nimble than a human's arm. Even Duan Canghai's attacks would only leave a shallow mark on the tree trunk if it cut off a small branch.

What was even more surprising was that the chopped off branches instantly grew back. If this went on, not to mention killing the Demon Tree, it would be difficult to even enter the cave.

"How could this be?" Duan Canghai had a face full of doubt.

Rushing Thunder touched his chin and said, "General, is this the soul tree from the lower realm?"

Rong Hua didn't know what the Soul Summoning Tree was. In the end, it was just a plant. What she was interested in was the word 'lower realm'. Could it be that their Demon God Continent was divided into the last lower realm? Then where did they occupy it?

Duan Canghai nodded, "That's right. It seems to belong to the Ghost World."

Rong Hua's mouth twitched. There were actually ghosts in this world, but if there weren't souls or ghosts, how could she possess a body like this?

"If it's something from the Ghost World, I'm afraid we'll have to spend a lot of effort. As long as we feed it, it won't attack us anymore." Rushing Thunder suggested.

Duan Canghai pondered for a moment. A trace of seriousness appeared on his handsome face, "If this is the case, then we'll need to rush over a large number of magical beasts. We'll have to alarm those small sects."

Rushing Thunder laughed: "General, this is our Eastern Continent's territory after all, so we are not afraid of alarming the small sects. The royal family is not a place they can challenge."

Duan Canghai sighed. The current Imperial Family was different from the past. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't painstakingly endure this Emperor's fall in order to repay this debt of gratitude.

Rong Hua noticed Duan Canghai's predicament and said, "What is the Ghost World? How can the plants of the Ghost World live in our world? "

The beautiful mercenary said, "You don't even know this? Our Demon God Continent has the Immortal World, the Mortal World, and the Ghost World.

Rong Hua smiled, "Thank you beautiful big sister."

The beautiful woman giggled when she heard this. "Little brother's mouth is quite sweet. I'm Zhang Yanqiu. From now on, just call me Sister Qiu."

"Alright, Sister Qiu!" Rong Hua replied obediently.

At the same time, she was also secretly curious why the knowledge that Ye Qingtian had imparted to her did not contain any information about the ghost realm or the celestial realm. Could it be that he was deliberately hiding it? Or was that not important?

In the end, Duan Canghai couldn't do anything about the Soul Summoning Tree, "Let's chase away the magical beasts. Although this will put in a lot of effort, we don't have a better way."
