One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Spiritual Energy seeped into the tree's veins like water, quickly coursing through its entire body, from roots to crown, from bark to heartwood, not missing a single corner.
Nothing out of the ordinary.
From the perspective of a Spiritual Energy scan, this tree was just an utterly ordinary tree.
"Did I misjudge it?"
Liang He's brows knit slightly, a trace of uncertainty rising in his heart.
"Can't find anything, huh? What's so special about a damn tree? I'll just chop it down."
Conis grew impatient, grabbed his Battle Sword, shifted his stance to build power, and hacked hard at the tree's side.
"Hey, wait—"
Liang He raised his hand, wanting to stop him, but he was still a step too late.
Conis's blade had already come down solidly on the trunk.
"Clang—!"
The clash of metal rang through the dense forest, vibrating their eardrums until they went numb.
