Chapter 46: The Third Stage, the Sword Catacomb!

“So I thought that this guy was up to something, but I didn’t expose him at the first moment. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself.”

With that, the three investigators came to a realization.

One of them hesitated and said, “Then will it be dangerous for us to go out?”

“Don’t worry, it won’t be,” Wang Ye waved his hand.

Seeing that the three of them left, Wang Ye turned around and looked at the giant tree, “They’re all gone.”

Rustle…

The giant tree stood up.

“Let’s go to the sword catacomb at the third stage and see if we can find Xiao Tao,” Wang Ye narrowed his eyes.

“Definitely! I can sense its aura…” The giant tree let out a grunt and carried Wang Ye on its branch, walking towards the third stage.

The third stage was called the Sealed Demon Sword Catacomb. It was the core area of the secret realm.

Some special sword skeleton soldiers were wandering here, mostly level 2 fierce beasts.

Under normal circumstances, they were extremely difficult to deal with.

This was because these sword skeleton soldiers had extremely high resistances, HP, and speed. Some of them even knew some special sword skills that were extremely strong.

If one was slightly careless, even a level 3 pet would be easily injured by them.

They were fierce beasts that were quite all-rounded.

With Xiao Jiu’s strength, it would be difficult to kill them instantly without Skyful of Feathers.

“How can this be… These little fellows were all swords that followed Xiao Tao back then, but now, they have become fierce beasts…” The giant tree walked into the sword catacomb and what greeted him was a desolate land.

On the desolate land were many ancient broken swords, making the place look extremely desolate.

There were only a few ferocious and eerie swords floating in the air, darting around, emitting a terrifying aura.

As if they had discovered the giant tree and Wang Ye, they immediately rushed over.

“To be honest, it might be because you have the Qinglei Peachwood in your body,” Wang Ye sighed softly, “Otherwise, you would have become a fierce beast too…”

The giant tree fell silent.

“Then these…” Wang Ye looked at the sword skeleton soldiers.

“Let them rest in peace…” The giant tree shook its branches and patted the ground.

In an instant, countless branches instantly bind the sword skeleton soldiers before them like steel bars.

Seeing this, Wang Ye immediately let Xiao Jiu attack.

After being trapped, the sword skeleton soldiers were nothing but living targets. It was quite easy to kill them.

As they moved forward, Wang Ye collected the materials dropped by the sword skeleton soldiers as he looked into the distance.

Not long after, they seemed to have reached the end.

There was nothing beyond except for a fort.

“There doesn’t seem to be anything…” Wang Ye frowned slightly.

Was Xiao Tao really here?

“No, it’s here! It’s down there!” The giant tree took a deep breath, “We can wake it up by using the Qinglei Peachwood in my body! Later, be careful. Xiao Tao’s sword energy is too strong. Don’t leave my protection range, otherwise, its sword energy might kill you.”

Hearing this, Wang Ye nodded slightly.

This should be the reason why he was killed by the random sword energy in the simulation.

In the simulation, the giant tree was already dead, and the Qinglei Peachwood had also been taken away, which most likely had roused Xiao Tao which had been sealed here.

After it woke up, its sword energy probably began to spread.

Only Lin Lei, who had taken the Qinglei Peachwood, could leave the second stage safely in the simulation.

This was also the reason why Lin Lei had been so calm and collected just now. Probably, in his opinion, he was the only one who knew this secret.

Unfortunately for him, the giant tree hadn’t died.

Thus, when the three other investigators walked out, there was no danger at all.

The giant tree’s body cracked open, and a section of a divine tree that was as bright as a glazed gem was slowly pulled out by it.

Wang Ye held his breath as he felt the extremely pure energy!

Boom!

The giant tree controlled the branch, and its entire body rapidly aged. However, it did not hesitate to stab the peachwood into the ground before it!

In an instant, the ground cracked open inch by inch, and countless rays of light burst out.,.
