Chapter 93 Beyond the Dead Zone, Casual Talk about the World Tree
Hearing what sounded like someone speaking to her, Ying paused and looked toward the source of the sound with a puzzled expression.
Immediately afterwards, two forest rangers rushed over.
"Phew~ It's a good thing you didn't go in. This area is very dangerous... Every year, many unsuspecting tourists lose their lives within a minute of stepping in."
After saying that, the forest ranger breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, by the way, my name is Wan Zhou, and the lady next to me is Ye Xiang. We are both forest rangers in Daocheng Forest. We were ordered to deal with the dead zone, and we noticed you when we got to this dead zone today."
After speaking, Wanzhou warmly extended her hand and shook hands with Ying.
After hearing her explanation, Empress Ying took two steps back in fear.
“Is this dark red silt really that scary…? Thank you both for reminding me. My name is Ying, and next to me is Hu Tao, the head of the Hall of Rebirth, and… her boyfriend Xun Feng. Since you are also forest rangers, you should know Tina and the others, right?”
After saying that, Ying gave an awkward laugh.
Speaking of which, standing next to Xunfeng and Hutao, I was clearly like a third wheel.
(?.?)
Upon hearing Ying's words, Hu Tao instinctively covered her face in embarrassment and hid behind Xun Feng.
"Uh... Hu Tao, I've never seen you so shy before..."
Feeling Hu Tao's hands on his shoulders, he helplessly shrugged.
"What do you know? This is... the diversity of my personality!"
The next second, after feeling Hu Tao gently tap his back with her fist from behind, Xun Feng pretended to be in pain and chose to surrender.
"Oh dear... Master, I surrender, please stop fighting..."
Seeing his exaggerated reaction, Hu Tao burst out laughing.
In order to change the subject, Xun Feng quickly took over the topic of the Dead Zone.
"Miss Wanzhou, could you tell us the origin of this dead zone?"
Curious, Xunfeng immediately asked.
Seeing his righteous demeanor and knowing that he also knew the forest ranger, Tina, Wanzhou had nothing to hide and told them immediately.
After a while.
"The creation of the Dead Zone is related to the World Tree..."
After listening, Xun Feng subconsciously lowered his head to think.
"From what you've said, the World Tree is protected by the Grass God, right?"
"The World Tree has always been protected by the Grass God, but for some reason, there are more and more Dead Zones lately..."
Ye Xiang, standing to the side, shook her head helplessly.
"Sigh... I have to clear at least four dead zones a day, it's exhausting. There are so many strange and mutated creatures in the dead zones, and they're incredibly powerful. I have to fight every day, and I'm starting to feel the strain."
Ye Xiang rubbed her shoulders while complaining, and looked warily at the dead zone ahead.
“I read in the books of the Order Institute that the World Tree was once corrupted by forbidden knowledge, and it was only by the joint control of the three gods of Sumeru that it was suppressed. However, it seems that only the Grass God is left now. I suspect that forbidden knowledge has corrupted the World Tree again.”
Wanzhou, standing to the side, cautiously offered her conjecture.
"Oh? Wan Zhou, you're from the Order of the Church?"
Xunfeng glanced at her warily.
The Church is now completely controlled by the great sage Azhar, who has even imprisoned the Grass God.
Therefore, Xunfeng was particularly sensitive to the personnel of the Order Academy.
"Ah... Haha, yes, I used to be a scholar in the Biophysical School for a few years... However, because my ideas on environmental protection clashed with those of the Great Sage Azar, I was expelled from the Faith Academy."
After saying that, she lowered her head in frustration.
After hearing her explanation, Xunfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um... we've been delayed for quite a while, we need to get back to work, sorry."
After saying that, Wanzhou turned and walked into the dead zone.
"Wait... the Dead Zone is so dangerous, should we help clean it up?"
Seeing the honest and enthusiastic Wan Zhou and Ye Xiang, Xun Feng kindly prepared to lend a helping hand.
"Let the professionals clean up the dead zone! You don't seem to have the Eye of God, so this place is very dangerous for you."
After offering her kind advice, Ye Xiang shouldered the Xuanyuan Sword and continued walking inside.
Watching the two of them walk away, Xunfeng had no choice but to give in.
"Alright, I'm unfamiliar with Sumeru, so I'll use my light elemental power sparingly to avoid being noticed by enemies lurking in the shadows."
"Xunfeng, I never imagined that there was a World Tree in Sumeru that could affect the environment. It's really amazing..."
As she spoke, starlight suddenly appeared in Hu Tao's eyes.
"Hmph, if I were back to my prime, I could change the entire environment of Teyvat at will."
Xunfeng retorted with a haughty, jealous air.
"Seriously? You're even jealous of the World Tree?!"
Ying stared in astonishment, her eyes wide.
"Speaking of which, since the World Tree is having problems, does that mean the Grass God... is having problems? If the Grass God is having problems, how are we supposed to find him...?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hu Tao rubbed her temples with difficulty, trying to come up with a solution.
Seeing Hu Tao's intelligence temporarily restored, Xun Feng clapped in surprise.
"Hu Tao, you were right, the Grass God really is in trouble..."
