From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Just as the team of four was discussing information about the Abyss Battlefield, the Forest Elder Serren of the Elf Clan arrived at the door of the treehouse.

"Welcome, friends of the elves."

"Elder, we have just been teleported here and haven't had the chance to visit you yet, please don't mind." Su Muyu turned and politely smiled.

"It's fine. This time our clan is facing another calamity and needs your help, so I should be the one welcoming you." Serren seemed noticeably older than seven years ago.

After the pleasantries, Lu Heng shifted to the main topic: "Can we contact the Queen now? I need to confirm if there are any other summoners."

"Of course."

Serren nodded in agreement, walked into the wooden house, and pressed a spot on the tree stump in front of him, causing the water in the stump to start accumulating.

Subsequently, the water reflected a scene, revealing the interior of the palace in Kolos City, with Orelana seated on the throne.

Serren spoke: "Your Highness, our four friends have arrived. Lu Heng is inquiring about other summoners."

Queen Orelana pondered: "Up until now, we haven't received any information on other summoners, so there is no information on the Abyss Battlefield either."

The Elf Clan has stationed guards, or elders, throughout the Queldorei Continent.

Under normal circumstances, the appearance of a summoner would be noticed by the Elf Clan unless the teleportation location is outside the clan's controlled area.

According to the usual summoning rules, this mission on the Abyss Battlefield is to help the Elf Clan fend off the Bone Sovereign, and summoners should appear within the clan's controlled area.

Unless other summoners have special missions to undertake, with teleportation starting from the mission location.

Lu Heng continued: "There must be other summoners, perhaps they are hiding. The more uncertain their whereabouts, the more it suggests indeterminate factors; we must find them."

Queen Orelana agreed: "Yes, I have already issued orders, and guards in various places are searching for other summoners."

After the conversation, no useful information was obtained.

Lin Zeyu looked at the fading reflection of the Elf Queen in the water and scratched his head, asking: "Lu Heng, how are you sure there must be other summoners?"

Su Muyu gave him a sidelong glance and quipped: "Based on the summoning patterns, the number of summoners will only be 5, 10, 15, etc., meaning multiples of 5, and we have only 4 people.

"In other words, at least one more summoner hasn't appeared, or it could be 6, or 11, and so on."

Lu Heng noticed this as soon as he was teleported here, and as Su Muyu said, according to the number of summoners, there must be others, but the number is uncertain.

Su Muyu thought for a moment and urged: "Let's hurry to Kolos City. Time is quite tight."

She's actually worried about another matter in her heart.

The Abyss Battlefield has already begun, which means that the Bone Sovereign has descended on the Queldorei Continent.

Besides Kolos City, this Evil Demigod has another target, which is Lu Heng.

She worries that the Bone Sovereign might suddenly attack and launch a raid.

Although Elder Serren is in the Moonshadow Forest, the team of four plus Serren is likely not a match for the demigod.

For safety, heading to Kolos City immediately is the safest choice.

Serren agreed: "There are many defense works in Kolos City now; if you go, you can help. Please head there quickly."

Lu Heng agreed: "Okay, we will set off immediately. However, before we leave, we'd like to visit the Knowledge Ancient Tree, if that's permitted."

Serren didn't hesitate long and nodded in agreement: "It's good to let you see the Knowledge Ancient Tree, follow me."

Su Muyu had made a pact with the Knowledge Ancient Tree seven years ago. Even if the promise wasn't fulfilled, it needs to be conveyed.

Besides, Lu Heng had some questions he wanted to ask.

The group traversed the forest path and arrived in front of the gateway to the Ancient Tree Space.

This space gate was a massive circular portal formed by intertwined trees and vines, with twinkling light spots flickering in the portal.

The group passed through the space gate and entered the Ancient Tree Space.

Except for Su Muyu, it was the first time the others had entered the Ancient Tree Space, where they saw the somewhat withered stump.

Lin Zeyu wide-eyed asked: "Is this the Knowledge Ancient Tree? Why has it withered like this?"

Serren turned back to explain: "The Knowledge Ancient Tree originally needed Moon Well spring water for irrigation, but now there's only one Moon Well left.

"Each month, Kolos City delivers a pot of Moon Well spring water, half of which is used to water the Golden Tree Seed, and the other half is reserved for the Knowledge Ancient Tree.

"Half a pot of Moon Well spring water is too little, it can only sustain the Knowledge Ancient Tree's vitality..."

The group stopped three meters away from the Knowledge Ancient Tree, while Su Muyu continued forward, releasing the Life Tree Vine to slightly nourish the roots of the Knowledge Ancient Tree.

The Knowledge Ancient Tree seemed to come alive, emitting a deep and resonant voice: "You have returned, it has been seven years, two months, and three days."

Su Muyu pursed her lips, apologetic: "I'm sorry, I have not yet been able to retrieve the Life Tree Vine."

The Knowledge Ancient Tree did not appear upset and calmly said: "No need to rush, I have long ages to wait, seven years is just a nap for me."

Su Muyu promised: "I will continue to search for the Life Tree Vine, and I will deliver it as soon as I find it."

"Good, I trust you, child of humans." The branches of the Knowledge Ancient Tree swayed, truly appearing like a living thing.

Once Su Muyu finished speaking, Lu Heng took up the conversation and asked: "Knowledge Ancient Tree, have you heard of the Bone Sovereign Leoric?"
