Victor looked at the barren land in front of him and shivered.

Although the Delle Plateau had begun to warm up, the temperature was still not high enough.
“Kaman, I don’t know what’s wrong with the old man. He insisted that I come out. Although those four women are very beautiful, why do I have to chase after them?” he complained to the middle-aged knight beside him.
The middle-aged knight comforted him and said, “Young master, the four witches of Wusu Kingdom disappeared from here. The archdukes are all concerned about this matter. It was not easy for the master to get this spot. He asked you to bring so many soldiers here. As long as those four are still alive, we can definitely capture them.”
Seeing that Victor was impatient, Kaman changed his angle. “Their whereabouts are related to what the Emperor wants. As long as we find a clue, the reward will definitely be a lot.”
The emperor’s reward moved Victor.
“Hmph, they are just a few girls. Where can they run to? The Delle Plateau is so desolate. They might all be dead.”
“Whether they’re alive or dead, the reward will be mine when we bring them back.”
He took the lead and charged forward.
Kaman quickly stopped him. “Young master, the people who came to capture them are quite strong. Now that they’ve disappeared, there might be danger here. Let the others go first.”
“What is there to be afraid of? This desolate place only has a few rabbits and some hyenas. You guys can just deal with them.”
Ignoring Kaman’s advice, Victor stubbornly rushed out.
The others quickly followed.
“Quickly catch them and bring them back as soon as possible. What reason is there to stay in this godforsaken place?”
“As the son of the Empire’s finance minister, how could I be in danger with so many soldiers?” Victor muttered to himself.
His father’s power was extraordinary. This time, he brought more than five thousand people. There was no enemy in the vicinity.
He also had so many treasures on him. Anyone under the false god level could easily kill him.

With such confidence, the group rushed into the Delle Plateau.
Sharing the senses of the leaf-cutting ants and Ao Lie, Su Yuande observed Victor’s group.
He did not know what they were talking about, but they did not take it seriously. They still saw their swagger.
A group of reckless fellows was Su Yuande’s first thought.
After all, there were quite a number of mutated beasts and magical beasts on the Delle Plateau.
If these soldiers were so unprepared to come up, not to mention anything else, they might not even be able to withstand the high altitude reaction.
“I haven’t hunted for a long time. It’s a good time to start a new hunt.”
Thinking of them as a pile of moving evolution points, Su Yuande was ready.
Victor and his group rushed up the plateau. Unexpectedly, what they saw was not the desolation they had imagined.
“Kaman, I remember that the explorers said that the Delle plain was full of soil and desolation.”
Looking at the surging river, the huge green trees beside it, and the lawns, Kaman’s eyes were full of admiration.
“Young master, now that we are blocked here, how are we going to cross the river?”
“Aren’t you a high-level transcendent? All you need to do is break the river water. As for the people behind us, let them think of a way on their own.”
At such a close distance, Su Yuande was already able to hear what they were saying, and he could not help but feel speechless.
No matter what, this group of people from the Raging Flame Empire liked to break the river water.
He originally wanted to make a move, but he decided to wait.
After all, Kaman, who was the leader, seemed to be quite strong, and he did not mind if there was an easy way.
Kaman could not dissuade Victor, so he could only give the order for the soldiers to cross the river on their own.
He watched as the soldiers mustered their strength and slowly crossed the river.
Kaman also walked to the side and gathered his aura.
A powerful sword aura soared into the sky, and a raging flame ignited on his body.
The flames condensed into a huge half-moon light and slashed directly at the river.
A faint sound of water was heard, and then it immediately calmed down.
Kaman didn’t know what had happened, and his face was full of embarrassment.
“Kaman? What’s going on?” Victor asked.
“This, young master, I don’t know what’s going on either. Let me try again.”
After saying that, he slashed down a few more times.
There was still no reaction.
“Forget it, forget it. Fortunately, the old man gave me enough things.”
After saying that, Victor used a treasure. A powerful aura rose from his body. It seemed to be even stronger than Kaman’s.
Boom!
After a sound that was much louder than Kaman’s sword energy slash, everything was calm.
The people on the bank looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
“Is there something strange about this river? Or is there someone hiding in the dark?”
Looking at the people on the bank who were on high alert, Su Yuande felt that it was funny.
Originally, he wanted to create the illusion that the river water was broken like last time, so that they could enter the river and attack again.
He did not expect that Feng Qimu seemed to like the fire aura that came with their attacks.
He directly used the tree roots by the river bank to absorb it.
Looking at the soldiers of the Raging Flame Empire, Su Yuande, who didn’t want to play games anymore, gave an order.
“Since you like to cause trouble, you should put in more effort.”
Sensing Su Yuande’s thoughts, Phoenix Perch made his move excitedly.
The soldiers in the river were suddenly attacked by the black tree roots.
Kaman and Victor, who were standing on the shore, paid more attention to them.
The thick black whips charged at Victor, who was unable to react in time and fell to the ground.
Kaman shouted, “Demon tree! Die!”
His body was burning. He cut open the tree branches in front of him and the roots went straight for the Phoenix Perch.
Victor, who was on the ground, began to have several layers of protection.
“Bastard! You actually managed to activate all the amulets on my body. You, demon tree, deserve to die!”
He had originally planned to use his full set of equipment to display his abilities, but before he could even see his target, he had already suffered a great loss in front of a strange tree.
The furious Victor no longer endured it and activated his trump card.
A red light flashed, and the silhouette of a huge lion appeared on his body.
The lion’s body burned fiercely, and the sand and stones on the ground nearby melted rapidly.
Phoenix Perch sensed this situation and became even more excited.
However, the light shield on Victor’s body seemed to be too high-level, and it could not directly absorb it.
At least according to Su Yuande’s perception, this energy level was probably at the pseudo-god level.
Phoenix Perch’s attack stopped, and Kaman seized this opportunity to advance a large distance.
However, before Victor and the others could make a move, the Phoenix Perch tree’s body began to burn intensely.
“What kind of strange tree is this? It can actually use fire-type skills!”
The Phoenix Perch tree that had used flame protection was clearly in a berserk state. Flames protected its main body.
The branches and roots with flames began to lash out at the people from the Raging Flame Empire at an even faster speed.
Pa Pa Pa Pa!
The sounds of intense and dense whipping could be heard endlessly.
Kaman could not hold on at all and was directly whipped onto the ground, his body pierced through by the tree roots that followed.
A strange red light flashed across the Phoenix Perch’s body. Something like blood vessels appeared on the bark of the tree, and it slowly began to beat.
It had advanced again.
