Chapter 392: A Territory Gradually Getting Stronger

“Do I need to take out the items stored under your roots?” asked Su Wan.
The Dark Withered Tree had a huge underground space, and all the magical plants plundered from the underground world had been transplanted there.
“The transformation will not affect the items stored below.”
“What about that Swamp Dragon Hero?”
“I have already used my roots to bind its body. If its life force dwindles, I can inject mana through my roots to keep it alive.”
Su Wan nodded. The Dark Withered Tree was simply amazing. It could do anything!
“When I transform, please don’t allow the residents to wander into the swamps,” said the Dark Withered Tree. It wouldn’t be able to control the swamp at that time.
Su Wan nodded. “Other than that, do you need anything else? Should I station some troops around you to guard you from harm?”
“Not really. If there is any danger I can’t face, I’ll sink into the quicksand. You can then send help.”
Su Wan took out the dark withered branch she had gotten in Canglan City. “Do you know the origin of this branch?”
“The aura feels familiar. It feels like the abyss.”
The Dark Withered Tree sounded surprised. ‘Could there be another tree like me?’
Su Wan wanted to explore the location where the Dark demonic Tree was supposed to be found, according to the information left behind by the Lords she had met in Canglan City.
Su Wan took the Sandworms and withdrew from the swamp.
The Night Devil Bees flying in the air landed on the branches of the Dark Withered Tree.
After a while, the Dark Withered Tree fluctuated and turned into an ordinary tree.
Su Wan looked at the system panel. The Dark Withered Tree’s attributes were reduced greatly.
She sighed. It had taken so long for her to get the Dark Divine Blood.
Both the nine-headed Hydra and the Dark Withered Tree were transforming at the same time. The territory was vulnerable.
Unlike the Hydra, the Dark Withered Tree would obtain the most terrifying power in this world after a successful transformation. It could even kill gods!
Su Wan’s heart was filled with anticipation. If the Dark Withered Tree could successfully transform within two months, she could seek its help when she entered the temple to complete the S-class mission.
Half a month was already gone. Su Wan had another two and a half months to complete the mission. After that, the mission would be considered a failure.
Su Wan was just about to return to her territory when she saw a Void Sandworm with golden carvings on its body.
Two months ago, it was still a baby. Now, it was 50 meters long.
The difference between ordinary Sandworms and Void Sandworms was evident from their appearance. Although ordinary Sandworms were much larger, they were shorter.
The Sandworms with Su Wan didn’t dare approach the Void Sandworm.
Su Wan stepped forward and pressed her hand on its cold skin. Her psyche projected onto the mind of the Void Sandworm.
The Void Sandworm was happy to sense her presence.
It had taken the Void Sandworm a long time to learn to communicate with Su Wan.
She looked at the huge creature. It wanted to rub its head against her.
Su Wan was startled. Even the city walls would fall if it rubbed against them.
Su Wan asked if it could open a Space Gate yet.
“I can open the space for six hours, but the duration decreases with an increase in distance.”
It had only been able to open the Space Gate for four hours before. In just half a month, it had improved greatly!
The Void Sandworm’s ability was an asset to the territory. It was remarkable.
Su Wan’s drcam of carrying out cross-plane trade and transactions might become a reality soon.
She encouraged the Void Sandworm and reminded it to only devour void energy.
The swamp was temporarily guarded by a few Void Sandworms. It was impossible for enemies to sneak into the swamp without being discovered by these huge creatures.
The Dark Withered Tree did not necessarily need to be guarded, but Su Wan still worried about it.
She returned to the Dark Castle and sat down at the table. She asked for a cup of hot tea.
Eve, Eliza, and Ferula found her there.
“Mother, you’re back!”
“Lord Su Wan, I hope to return to the encampment and try to gain some experience. I want to make it to Level 60 at the least,” said Eliza.
Eliza was determined. The armor and the weapon that Su Wan gave to her proved very useful. She wanted to improve more.
Su Wan nodded. “Alright. Be careful.”
“What about you?” she asked Ferula.
“I also want to go out with Sister Eliza and train to be stronger,” said Ferula as she hugged Su Wan. “Please, can I go?”
“You are not allowed to leave the territory.” It was dangerous outside, and she wanted Ferula to stay in the territory, where it was safe.
“Mother, I beg you!” When Ferula got no response from Su Wan, she turned to Xu Yuan, “Father, please!”
However, both Xu Yuan and Su Wan agreed. Ferula wasn’t allowed outside the territory.
Ferula grumbled angrily at her parents and ran out of the room..
