640: Not a tree

“You, an alien from a Small Civilization, actually know about the dawn tree?”

Kadira asked in surprise, a serious expression appearing on his face for the first time. Before this, he had always exuded a relaxed air, as if everything was under his control.

“Captain!”

Xing Yue and the others cried out in unison, which undoubtedly showed Chen Du that he had guessed correctly.

His team was indeed looking for the ultimate resource, the dawn tree!

Kadira raised his hand, signaling his team to be quiet:

“What else do you know?”

Chen Du’s expression remained unchanged; he knew his first step of the plan had succeeded.

Now, what he needed to do was display his 'Actor-level' acting skills, certified by the High Martial Civilization’s Qilin Class!

He would use this to obtain information about the dawn tree.

“I also know that the dawn tree is inside the Ancient Tree of the Giant Civilization!”

Chen Du said in a deep voice, his tone not loud but incredibly confident, as if saying, 'You guys are all from the Hunter Civilization.'

Silence.

Kadira’s six-person team, including himself and the most talkative Xing Yue, fell silent.

The information Chen Du revealed was too shocking!

Their team had only received orders from above, learning that the Giant Civilization might possess the dawn tree.

That’s why they were dispatched to investigate.

Of course, it was just an investigation.

A team without even a Domain Warrior, how could they be expected to acquire an ultimate resource like the dawn tree?

Their task was to enter the Giant Civilization’s territory from the Floating Plate and, through contact with the Giant Civilization, determine whether they might possess the dawn tree.

This matter was extremely important, and the reason they were sent was not because these five people were particularly strong.

Rather, if a Domain Warrior became involved, the situation would become very complicated, potentially leading to war, or even a death match, between the three Great Civilizations!

Kadira’s team was one with room for growth. Looking solely at current strength, not potential, they were a mid-tier team among the Hunter Civilization’s Advanced Aerial Warrior teams.

If such a team were to carry out this mission, even in the worst-case scenario, it would simply be a total annihilation, incapable of stirring up any major waves.

Although Xu Chengshuang was the number one Genius, he was only the top among this batch of Geniuses, and not by a significant margin over the second place.

Such people are like monsters in a game; they will respawn, it’s just a matter of time.

If he really died, although regrettable, his importance was negligible compared to the dawn tree.

Whether the Giant Civilization possessed the dawn tree was an extremely important matter, so important that it would determine the fate of both their Hunter Civilization and the Big Eye Civilization.

If it was confirmed that the Giant Civilization possessed the dawn tree, then they and the Big Eye Civilization would have to leave the Cage Plate, where the three currently coexisted, as soon as possible.

The fact that the other party hadn't used the power of the dawn tree likely meant they were biding their time, because even if the Giant Civilization was once strong, it was now a T5-level Great Civilization with limited strength.

They definitely didn't want to expose the dawn tree too early.

And all three had operated in the Cage Plate for a long time; no one wanted to leave.

Moreover, leaving would be a gradual demise in some sense, because currently, there was no extra plate that could sustain the resources needed by a Great Civilization.

The world's pattern (structure) had long been divided. Once the Giant Civilization possessed the dawn tree, in a sense, the Hunter Civilization and the Big Eye Civilization would practically be out of the Great Civilization tier!

The word 'practically' was used because they could still try their luck in the largest plate, the Paradise Plate!

However, the success rate of such an endeavor was akin to choosing to leave one's small county and start a business in a big city when the industry is collectively saturated!

It was a 'nine deaths, one life' situation, infinitely close to ten deaths and no life!

As rulers, they could not accept themselves going to a resource-poor plate.

Just as wealthy people cannot accept the impoverished life after bankruptcy.

And now, the other party directly told him that the dawn tree was in the Giant Civilization’s base camp. Wouldn't this directly declare the exit of their Hunter Civilization and the Big Eye Civilization?

This was something Kadira absolutely could not accept.

“What evidence do you have?”

Although Chen Du’s words just now had stirred up a storm in Kadira’s heart, his expression remained calm, showing no trace of it. This was the composure of the older generation!

Seeing how certain the other party was, did he really possess some crucial information?

A mere Small Civilization actually obtained such information.

Normally, Kadira would definitely not believe it, but Chen Du’s Martial Skill level made him feel that the other party was not an ordinary person.

Although he had always looked down on the Geniuses of Small Civilizations, considering them all useless, this person was, so far, the only exception.

“It’s easy to know the evidence. You just need to answer one question for me first.”

“Consider it an exchange.”

Chen Du said confidently, with an expression that suggested all information was within his grasp.

In reality, he had no damn evidence!

The information that the dawn tree was inside the Giant Civilization’s Ancient Tree was merely something he had deduced from the information broadcast by the Little Flying Bug earlier.

And what he wanted was information about the dawn tree itself.

“An exchange?”

“Why should I trust you?”

“If you don’t know anything, wouldn’t I suffer a huge loss?”

“Then why don’t you just kill me?”

This guy… A hint of suspicion flickered in Kadira’s eyes, not about whether Chen Du truly knew any evidence.

But rather, he wondered, did the other party really have the ability to escape from under their noses?

The other party should also know that no matter what happened later, he wouldn't let him go, so why did he act as if he could come and go freely?

Did he truly have a trick, or was he just bluffing?

Never mind, it doesn’t matter. I just hope the evidence he presents next is real, so I’ll have something to report when I go back.

“What do you want to know?”

Kadira vaguely guessed Chen Du’s question, but he still asked.

“I want to know information about the dawn tree.”

As expected… Kadira was not at all surprised by this question.

“I don’t know. Information about ultimate resources is highly confidential. Not to mention me, even a Level 30 Domain Warrior doesn’t know its specific information. Only Level 31 and above, those true Domain Warriors, have the right to know.”

Chen Du stroked his chin and said nothing. This answer was within his expectations.

From the information he had gathered before, he knew that information about ultimate resources in Great Civilizations indeed required Domain Warriors to know, but he didn't expect the Hunter Civilization's requirements to be so strict.

Level 30 pseudo-Domain Warriors were not enough; it had to be Level 31 and above Domain Warriors.

Since this team was here to investigate the whereabouts of the dawn tree, Chen Du, with a stroke of luck, asked, and as expected, there was no result.

“I want to know what the dawn tree looks like.”

“Although I know its whereabouts, I haven’t actually seen it.”

Chen Du was very confident about this question; since the other party came to search for the dawn tree, they must know what it looks like.

Seeing the six people opposite him hesitate and stir, Chen Du knew that they definitely knew the answer.

So he added:

“What? You’re not even willing to reveal the appearance of this tree to me?”

“As a Great Civilization, are you afraid that this ultimate resource will be obtained by me, an alien from a Small Civilization?”

After Chen Du finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a bit off.

After a moment of silence, Kadira looked at him gloomily:

“I now have reason to suspect you’re bluffing!”

He stared at Chen Du, looking at his puzzled expression, and said word by word:

“As the source of ultimate resources, the dawn tree, it’s not a tree at all!”
