Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 327: Center of the Forest

After all the war preparations were complete, Yue Xuexia led everyone to the center of the Amazon Rainforest. Unlike in the other parts of the forest, the moment everyone entered the central region, they were all vigilant. After all, this is the territory of the two worst existences in the whole rainforest. Yue Xuexia thought that the central region would be a disaster, but instead, they were welcomed by a scene of paradise.

Luscious greeneries, tall trees full of life, wood, and floral fragrances mix in the air, giving one an intoxication that relaxes their nerves and a fully polluted free forest with pure and powerful heaven and earth qi, which the modern cities don’t possess. This place is more like a sanctuary itself.

Tan Bingyu couldn’t help but comment, "This place is beautiful."

"How can there be a place in this exiled star that is full of qi? It was as if all the qi in this world had gathered in this place," said Elf King Andromeda.

Almost all of them agreed with the words of the elf king. However, unlike the reaction of amazement from Tan Bingyu and the others, Taiyang, Shen Jueyang, and Yue Xuexia turned serious. They felt that the whole area they were in was strange for a reason. The only problem is that they seem to be unable to point out what made the whole forest they are in weird.

Taiyang said, "Stay vigilant! Something is strange in this forest!"

Shen Jueyang immediately went to the side of Yue Xuexia, protecting her. Everyone actually cannot feel what made the area strange; however, since the big bosses in the group say that there is something strange going on, they all raise their guard. But just raising their guards isn’t enough; in the end, this sanctuary is still a hell hiding behind its beauty.

Those who are from the larger group suffer more than those in the small group. No one knows what happened, but a few of them started killing their comrades like madmen. These few beings in the group looked possessed; their eyes were bloodshot, and they saw their comrades as enemies to be killed.

Agh!

"What the hell?!"

"Kill. Kill. You are enemies. Killer of my family!"

"Die. You must die! You can only die under my arrow!"

"Ah! No~ they are attacking! Stop them!"

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Shit! Someone pulled the injured away!"

"Hehehe~ Kill... All you undead should die!"

"Fuck! Don’t get wounded by those who are possessed. You will become like them as well!"

Chaos had fallen at the rear. It was only when the leaders made their commands that those who had gone crazy were all captured. There are those who died after being caught off guard and killed and those who were injured but were also tied up as they would also become crazy like their attackers. These captured beings were presented before Yue Xuexia, and they are all acting crazy regardless of being restrained. Tan Bingyu checked on the victims and saw a small prick hole at the side of their necks, as if something stabbed them with something causing their current state.

Tan Bingyu reported, "Mistress, all the first batch of beings that started the attack had a prick on their neck. It seems they are injected with something."

Yue Xuexia used her special eyes to check on the qi of these crazed individuals and saw an ominous aura that not only gave off a rotten smell but also an evil vibe. Shen Jueyang, Taiyang, as well as Elf King Andromeda, noticed the disgusting aura on them. They do not need to see it like Yue Xuexia and only need to feel the evil aura and disgusting scent to know what is wrong with them.

Elf Kin Andromeda said, "This smell of rotten flesh and blood. This is a miasma that they are injected with."

"No wonder. They had gone crazy. Miasma amplified the worst nightmare of those affected by it," said Taiyang.

Shen Jueyang with a dark face said, "Miasma cannot be extracted by ordinary means. Only light elements can eliminate it. It needs to be purified. But Xue’er, your divine healing skill might cure them temporarily but not fully treat them. Let’s end them peacefully."

No one rejected the words of Shen Jueyang, as they believed that those affected by mamma could not be saved. During the last war, a lot of their comrades had ended up in such a state as well, and they chose to end their lives to ease their sufferings. They believed that killing them was the only way to save these affected individuals. However, before Shen Jueyang burned the victims with his flame, Yue Xuexia had stopped him.

Yue Xuexia said, "Let me try something first. I will not use my divine healing skill."

"Alright. Don’t push yourself. We haven’t started fighting for real yet," said Shen Jueyang.

"I know. I would overdo it," said Yue Xuexia.

She placed a hand before the group that was affected by the miasma. All she needed to do was concentrate and focus her attention on the ones before her. Then she mumbles,

"Divine Skill: Purification."

Yue Xuexia used her newly gained skill and used it to cleanse the bodies of the affected ones before her. Under the silver light that fell on the victims, their bloodshot eyes slowly faded, and the black blood on their bodies returned to a scarlet hue. Everyone was surprised when they saw that those who were acting crazy before had returned to normal. Except for their throbbing wounds all over their bodies, they were no different before they were affected by miasma.

"Hah? What is happening? Why am I tied up?"

"Me too! Hiss~ Why am I wounded!?"

Elf King Andromeda was shocked and questioned, "What is this? Are they healed? Impossible! Is that a divine-grade purification skill? I thought only the Goddess of Light could use it."

"Is this your new skill, Xue’er?" Shen Jueyang asked.

Yue Xuexia asked, "Um. A skill I received from finding the ruined village of the beastmen race. Just as I expected, it can cleanse miasma ha?"

"This is good! With this, there is no need to worry about weakening when fighting against a demonic creature!" Taiyang said.

Yue Xuexia said, "Wait, let me heal their wounds first."

But she was stopped by everyone, afraid that she might overdo it. This time Queen Fae Scarlet stepped forward and volunteered.

"Moon Goddess, please leave the healing to this humble servant of yours," said Queen Fae Scarlet.

With everyone stopping her from making any more moves, Yue Xuexia can only let the Fae Queen do the healing while the rest of them resume the journey and lead the group. A few stayed behind to cremate their deceased comrades, and those who were affected just now, knowing that they had killed a friend, a sibling, or even a family member, were now mourning. There are even some who couldn’t continue the journey due to guilt. The leaders of each tribe didn’t force those beings to follow after making their decisions to stay.

As for the rest, they can only follow the Moon Goddess to their final war. It didn’t take long enough for the group to reach the center of the forest. They can easily see the towering Ancient Willow Tree God, whose top was even reaching the sky above. The reason why no one from outside the forest can see the Ancient Tree God is because the heavens have placed a blind on it. All kinds of creatures that aren’t supposed to exist in the mortal realm cannot be seen by ordinary mortals. This is a way of protection for the weak. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

However, it is a different story for those who live in the Amazon rainforest and those who cultivate to become immortals. This Ancient Tree God is a part of the cultivation world, and it cannot be denied that whatever it does would affect the world. Thus, only those who cultivate can do something about it.

Yue Xuexia commented upon seeing the Ancient Tree God, "What a towering tree! It’s even taller than that world tree from the Fae Village."

"Don’t compare this one to the real world tree. The one in this world is just a sapling. A mature world tree can replace the world itself. Moreover, this is only at Mahayana Realm. It hasn’t even reached Void Refining Realm and it has already fallen. How embarrassing," said Elf King Andromeda.

Yue Xuexia retorted, "I haven’t seen a mature world tree yet. So for me, this one is towering enough. Do you have a problem with me?"

"Alright. You win. I am the one in the wrong," said Elf King Andromeda as he chuckled.

Shen Jueyang blocked Elf King Andromeda’s line of sight of the Moon Goddess. He also gave the man a cold glare. Feeling challenged, the Elf King wanted to do something, but they stopped and immediately turned serious as they felt an incoming dangerous aura.

Taiyang shouted, "Something is coming out from below!!!"

As if answering the words of Taiyang, the earth under their feet cracked. Those who could fly flew, and those who couldn’t could only run away, avoiding falling from the huge crack that suddenly appeared under their feet. Suddenly a huge black snake that can cover the whole forest comes out of the crack. Surrounding it was a black mass of aura that caused all its surroundings to die immediately when the black mist touched it. This is the demonic Titanoboa they had been looking for.

HISS~
