Chapter 315. Battle Results. New Information! The fight was certainly not easy to finish off on Liu Shu’s part. The serpents could slowly and systematically beat down the Level 50 Terragore. On the other side, Liu Shu was unable to keep it tied forever. Once the Terragore felt fear for its life, a powerful surge enveloped it, and it entered into an enraged state, increasing its stats. Liu Shu was stunned. ‘My roots are tearing from its strength?” “GRAHHH!” The Terragore pulled, and the roots holding its limbs were torn, blue sap splattering in the surroundings. Its Phoer reserves were now dangerously low. Therefore, once it was liberated, it didn’t attack Liu Shu but turned around and fled. “Huh?” Not expecting its reaction, the World Tree failed to react. By the time she wanted to continue her attacks, the Mature Terragore was already near the lower-level ones. ‘If I attack it here, the lower-level ones will just help it destroy my roots. I will be wasting resources.’ So, instead, she ignored the retreating army and focused on the surrounded Level 50 Terragore. “Ophion and the others, finish it off. I’ll hold it down.” The Terragore felt a sense of danger when the serpents stopped attacking it. It growled lowly, not willing to go down without a fight. Suddenly, several roots appeared from all sides, shooting forward like snakes. “Grar!?” It attacked the roots, repelling them for a few moments. However, they were far too many, and Liu Shu eventually got a hold of it. The serpents moved in that instant and finished off the battle with several physical and Aether-based attacks. Due to having been killed by her summons and herself, Liu Shu received half of the Experience Points of the creature, even when she didn’t do much. [Congratulations on defeating <Level 54 Terragore Brawler (D Rank)>! You've gained 4095 Experience Points.] ‘Wow~, 4000 points for barely helping. That’s almost a month's worth of Experience Points!’ Suddenly, deafening cheers exploded on the other side of the room, startling the World Tree. “What? What? What happened?” Looking over, she saw the two armies celebrating and even hugging the ants. “Ah... They are happy that we won.” After defeating these two monsters, the rest of Terragore had retreated and dispersed deeper into their tunnels. While Liu Shu doubted this would be the last attack coming from them, she knew they would not return soon. ‘I don’t think it is worth it for them. The mines can barely benefit those Level 50 and above beasts.’ “Liu Shu! Are you okay? How are you feeling?” A worried voice reached her, and she saw Flor, Ignatia, and the two Sylvans standing where many of her roots had been cut. The place was a mess, full of her severed roots and stained by her peculiar glowing blue sap. The area looked strangely haunting yet beautiful. “I am okay~. This will not affect me much, and I’ll be as good as new in less than a week!” Flor frowned, knowing the ridiculous speed of recovery that Liu Shu had. “Why so long?” Liu Shu hummed. “Well, the claws of those Terragore had some strange substance, and the roots they’ve severed are healing much slower than usual. There has not been any poisoning notification, which would be impossible due to my skill. Still, I can feel difficulty in growing them for some reason.” Verdantia approached one of the severed roots and looked at the edge. “Hm... It looks normal.” The circular root had a few external and internal layers of complicated tubes that leaked droplets of sap. At first glance, Verdantia could not detect any irregularities. Harmonixia looked at the root and dragged her finger across, holding a bit of the sap on the tip of her finger. “It’s so pretty.” Liu Shu felt strange. Imagine someone taking a drop of your blood and muttering the same words. “Um... Harmonixia.” Seeing his boisterous laugh, Liu Shu chuckled and said softly. “Thank you, Wert.” “Bah!” Wert waved his hand. “Don’t say thanks for these little things.” Then, he cleared his throat and spoke. “Well, let’s see, where do I begin...?” After a few moments of organizing his thoughts, Wert explained to Liu Shu. “<Dungeons> are locations trapped in a strange tempo-spatial fluctuation. They are indistinguishable from the rest of the world, and entering them can be as simple as walking into them. Some of them have portals, and others can even have gates. In general, though, they enclose an area and never expand.” Liu Shu hummed, interested. “That sounds strange. How are they created?” “I don’t know.” Wert shook his head. “When you managed to control the entire province, I was also promoted by the Explorer Association. I unlocked information about <Dungeons> and a few other things. I’ve shared everything that’s useful with Flor except this.” He smiled and continued. “I digress. While we don’t know how they are created, we do know how they behave. Once they appear, that zone becomes layered in space-time, and each group that enters is transported to one of those instances at the point of creation.” “Oh?” Liu Shu muttered. “That detail... doesn’t that mean that the place is suspended in time until a group from the outside enters?” “Indeed.” Wert nodded. “The most interesting thing is that Dungeons can be analyzed, and they have ranks. The higher the rank, the higher the risk, and the higher the reward.” “Reward?” Wert nodded solemnly. “Crafting gear gets increasingly difficult. The number of Sylvanium and other materials is just too scarce. However, the main global powers can probably gear a large army with mid-rank (D Rank) armor and weapons of their level without much effort. The main reason is that most large enough powers own a Dungeon where they can extract these kinds of resources by [Completing] a <Dungeon>.” The World Tree swung her branches in thought. There was a lot of information in what Wert told her that she needed to diggest. Suddenly, a notification popped into Liu Shu’s mind. [Congratulations! You’ve discovered information about <Dungeons>. A New System page will be opened in two years.] [Countdown: 17279:59:59] “Huh?” Wert heard her perplexed voice and asked, confused. “What’s wrong, Liu Shu?” Liu Shu hummed and was about to explain when another message popped in front of her eyes. [Wisdom: It is recommended not to reveal this information to anyone. If even a hint of what you are about to unlock is known, you will die.] Liu Shu paused and looked at that message, surprised. ‘Die as in... the System will kill me?’ [Wisdom: Incorrect. Your chances of perishing will become inevitable due to what such information implicates. Once the tab is revealed, Tianlian Liu Shu will understand the significance of it.] Wisdom had never really harmed her, but keeping secrets made Liu Shu feel a bit uncomfortable. Still, she didn’t have any haste in revealing this information. Hence, as Wisdom suggested, she decided to wait for the two years to pass and see what it was before deciding anything. ‘Rushing things won’t really help me...’ After dealing with this, Liu Shu answered Wert. “Sorry, Wert. There was a problem on the edge of my territory. Some people were excavating and trying to hack at my roots.” Wert frowned and snorted. “Did you kill them?” “Yes!” Wert’s frown eased up, and he smiled. “That’s great. Don’t be merciful to those who do that, Liu Shu. Your sap is too valuable.” Liu Shu answered obediently while feeling a bit guilty for lying to Wert. “Okay~.”
