135: The second World Tree Crown?
The two Little White Mice were caught by the Fox Fairy’s giant spiritual power hand, unable to escape.
As Spirit Demons, the two Little White Mice themselves did not have outstanding combat power, only advantages in speed and some special skills.
When dealing with those Barbarian Race Warriors, they could still rely on their speed to escape...
But in front of the Fox Fairy, under the spell empowered by both telekinesis and spiritual power, relying solely on speed to escape was completely useless!
The two Little White Mice extended their front paws to their chests, assuming a 'bowing' posture:
“Don't kill us...”
“We have very little experience; killing us would be a complete waste of your magical power!”
A wave of actions, filled with the desire to survive!
Looking at the cowardly appearance of these two Little White Mice, the Fox Fairy and Ye Ze exchanged glances, unable to help but reveal a hint of a smile.
After coming to the conquest-type secret realm world, whether it was the Demon Race or the Barbarian Race they encountered, most were aggressive and would fight if they disagreed!
This was the first time they had seen Little White Mice like this, with such a strong will to survive.
However, this was also normal.
The Demon Race and the Barbarian Race both belonged to chaotic and disorderly alignments, and their personalities were mostly violent and unrestrained.
Also, because these two races had strong foundations, with supreme powerhouses guarding their clans, they appeared more reckless when outside.
Whereas these two Little White Mice clearly lacked such confidence.
“First, hand over the Star Core.”
Looking at the two mice, Ye Ze said with a confident tone.
The reason he was sure that Treasure Finding had taken effect was because the Squirrel had smelled the aura of a great treasure on these two Little White Mice!
The Star Core concerned Blue Star’s first mission, and he absolutely could not let it go.
And these two Little White Mice, without the slightest hesitation, immediately nodded vigorously:
“I’ll hand it over, I’ll hand it over!”
With that, one of the slightly fatter Little White Mice suddenly opened her mouth wide and began to spit things out from her stomach...
Then, a translucent, faintly blue crystal, about ten centimeters long and shimmering with starlight, was spat out from her mouth.
Ye Ze: “...”
Fox Fairy: “...Good thing it wasn’t spat into my hand.”
“Such a small body can actually swallow such a large thing?”
Ye Ze was originally suspicious of how this Little White Mice would hide things; now he understood...
Then he glanced at their racial branch... Treasure-seeking Mouse.
This ability to hide things and escape was also a racial talent.
It was somewhat similar to the Squirrel.
After spitting out the Star Core, the Little White Mice’s belly was noticeably smaller.
She raised her two front paws, closed her eyes, and held it above her head, “The Star Core you wanted.”
“I didn’t play any tricks!”
Handing over the Star Core so readily was quite sensible.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ze still used his Eye of Insight to examine it. After finding no issues, he took out something to wipe the Star Core and held it in his hand:
“Ding! You have completed the Blue Star Civilization mission!”
“Mission reward – Star Realm City. Please return to the Blue Star teleportation portal to activate it!”
Listening to the two prompts, Ye Ze nodded, thinking that Treasure Finding was indeed effective!
Although it consumed source energy, this treasure seeking ability, gathering the power of heaven and earth, was indeed powerful, bringing treasures to Ye Ze through various means.
However, Treasure Finding still had some problems.
If Ye Ze’s strength was not enough to kill the Barbarian Race pursuers, or if he couldn't stop these Treasure-seeking Mice, he probably wouldn't get the treasure!
At this moment, the two Little White Mice were still prostrate on the giant spiritual power hand, awaiting Ye Ze’s judgment.
Seeing the two mice so sensible, Ye Ze simply spared their lives.
On one hand, these Treasure-seeking Mice belonged to the Spirit Demon Clan. The Spirit Demon Clan was different from the Demon Race; they cultivated by drawing on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and most of them belonged to good and orderly races.
According to some records, some Spirit Demons can be much kinder than humans.
On the other hand, these two mice were pitifully weak... posing no threat at all.
If kept by his side, they might even provide some information about the conquest-type world.
As for taking their Star Core, Ye Ze felt it was perfectly normal. In a conquest-type world, if your strength isn't enough, you still want to get treasures?
Thinking too much!
If they could understand this, surviving wouldn't be an issue, but if they wanted revenge, Ye Ze wouldn't mind killing two more.
“I can spare your lives.”
“But you have to follow me...”
Hearing Ye Ze’s words, the two Little White Mice exchanged glances, feeling a sense of joy at escaping death.
They had actually accidentally entered the conquest-type secret realm and then got lost in the secret realm world, unable to find the main Spirit Demon Clan forces.
Now, hearing that they could live and even follow a powerful big shot, they immediately agreed decisively:
“Okay, Boss! We’ll follow you!”
Ye Ze nodded with satisfaction, then sent out the Squirrel to manage the two Little White Mice...
The two Treasure-seeking Mice thus followed behind the Heavenly Mandate Treasure Mouse, and even developed a sense of closeness.
After obtaining the Star Core, Ye Ze also checked his gains:
After killing Lie Qing and the other four Barbarian Race Warriors, his experience increased by about 20%, which was even higher than the experience from the three Demons.
Killing Blessing had also accumulated 80 attribute points, adding to previous accumulations, he now had a total of 240 usable Freedom attribute points!
But the dropped items were quite pathetic.
Perhaps because the Barbarian world was relatively desolate, and the Barbarian Race primarily cultivated qi and blood, their equipment was very worn out...
This was very similar to the Demon Race; both were worlds where equipment materials were scarce.
Only three epic pieces of equipment were decent; besides that, there were three unique materials:
Beast Bone Runestone, Tribal Emblem, and Arcane Totem.
Only the Totem piqued Ye Ze’s interest:
Arcane Totem: Made by the Lieyang Tribe Barbarian Clan Shaman. When activated, it continuously restores health and grants ancient natural power from the totem.
This was the same effect as the last three Barbarian Race Warriors had unleashed.
At that time, if the opponent hadn't been standing in the Martial Saint Domain, and their four-dimensional attributes hadn't been reduced by nearly seven hundred points... the totem's effect would have been good.
Ye Ze put it away.
In addition, killing this Barbarian small squad also earned him three conquest points.
However, on the star realm tablet’s overall conquest ranking, Blue Star remained in fifth place, unchanged.
The higher the ranking, the higher the probability of obtaining mythical-grade items...
The current fifth place made Ye Ze have to quicken his pace a bit.
Outside the grotto now, white dense fog surrounded them, obscuring the view behind the mist.
Ye Ze pondered for a moment, then first took out the world tree crown.
He might as well search for a place to activate the world tree crown’s second effect.
At this moment, the world tree crown was still emitting red light, but it was somewhat dimmer compared to before.
“Could it be that I’m moving further away from the place where the second effect can be activated?”
Ye Ze sighed helplessly... he had gone the wrong way!
This world tree crown was not like a compass; instead, it was more like a detector, unable to provide direction, only able to judge distance.
“Never mind, let’s go back first.”
Ye Ze made up his mind; he could also go to the teleportation point and build Star Realm City along the way.
But at this moment, the two Treasure-seeking Mice suddenly looked surprised, staring at the world tree crown in Ye Ze’s hand and exclaiming:
“Boss, we seem to have one of these in our Shan Hai World too!”
Hearing this, Ye Ze’s steps immediately halted, incredibly surprised:
“You have a world tree crown in your world too!?”
This was the relic left by the Ten Thousand Spirits World World Tree before its death; how could there be a second one?
However, the Little White Mice who had spat out the Star Core nodded affirmingly:
“Indeed, I’ve seen it once! Exactly the same!”
Ye Ze was stunned, was it true?
A second world tree crown?
This was a wondrous-grade treasure! Just the 100% experience increase showed its astonishing effect!
If he could get a second one of these wondrous items...
Ye Ze rubbed his hands, “Little White Mice, where is your Shan Hai World located?”
“You, why are you asking this!?”
