Chapter 1433 - Going for Wool and Coming Home Shorn (1/2)

At the same time, somewhere in the secondary dimension world, Hayleen was wandering around, choosing a new target.

Very soon, she arrived in a blue liquid world. She popped out the snake-killing agent and watched it dissolve in the liquid. As she worked, her thoughts drifted away.

“I wonder if the poison I planted earlier worked…”

Hayleen murmured.

She could only plant the poison everywhere, but she did not dare go back to check. If the Pivotal Snake was infected, Black Star would definitely be waiting nearby. If she went over, there might be some risk.

The only way to determine if the plan was successful was to determine the status of the Pivotal Snake based on the mother tree’s reaction. If the mother tree’s reaction to the Pivotal Snake weakened or disappeared, it would mean that the Pivotal Snake was dead. In that case, she would not have to check which trap the Pivotal Snake had fallen into.

Therefore, Hayleen felt that she was still in a safe situation. All she needed to do was to set up the traps. As long as the mother tree gave her feedback, she would be able to retreat.

After adding the snake-killing agent to the blue secondary dimension in front of her, Hayleen was about to turn around and leave. However, at this moment, the voice of the Ancestral Tree King suddenly came from the mental network, bringing good news.

“The mother tree’s connection to the Pivot Snake is rapidly weakening. Your method should have succeeded.”

“It really succeeded? So fast ” The chances are so low, I thought it would take at least a few years for the Pivotal Snake to choose the secondary dimension that I tampered with…”

Hayleen’s eyes lit up with joy. She had thought that she might need to spend two to three years planting snake-killing agents in enough secondary dimensions so that the Pivotal Snake would have a higher chance of falling for it. However, the plan had only started half a year ago. There were not many secondary dimensions that were injected with the poison, but the Pivotal Snake had chosen one so quickly. What kind of probability was this? What kind of luck was this ?

In less than a year, she had successfully resolved the biggest threat to the World Tree. It was a pleasant surprise!

The Ancestral Tree King was also in a good mood. He had planned to let Hayleen carry out this mission for a long time, and had not expected it to work so quickly.

Don’t ask why, but if you had to ask, it was God’s will!

This was definitely the blessing of the Goddess of Luck!

“Come back. When the Mother Tree confirms that the Pivotal Snake is dead, the position of the Tree King will be yours.”

“Alright, I’ll go back now!”

Suppressing her excitement, Hayleen was about to open the transportation door and return.

However, just as she was about to return with excitement, the Ancestral Tree King suddenly interrupted her.

“Wait a minute, the mother tree’s reaction has changed…”

“What now?”

“The mother tree’s connection with the Pivot Snake has stopped declining, and it’s becoming stronger instead… Strange, this is too abnormal. What happened?” The Ancestral Tree King’s tone became heavy.

The stronger the World Tree’s reaction to the Pivotal Snake, it signified the more mature the Pivotal Snake would be. Right now, it was only a rough perception range, and they could only accurately determine each other’s location when it reached adulthood.

Just a moment ago, after the signal of the Pivotal Snake weakened for a while, it suddenly rose in reverse and quickly exceeded its previous limit, still rising.

Hayleen paused in shock.

“Why is this happening ?”

“You didn’t do anything unnecessary, did

you?”

The intensity of the sense was still increasing. The Ancestral Tree King felt that something was wrong, and his tone was filled with doubt.

“Absolutely not! I’ve always been focused on setting traps. Even when I coincidentally met the three Universal Civilizations’ fleets, I never took action!”

Hayleen was so anxious that she almost swore an oath and shared the relevant memories on the mental network.

The Ancestral Tree King quickly scanned through her experiences over the past half a year, but he did not find anything out of the ordinary. With a grave expression, he said, “There’s only one explanation. Black Star used some method to save the Pivotal Snake, and he even sped up its growth…”

Before he finished his sentence, the mother tree’s consciousness suddenly became agitated, as if it was feeling intense panic.

However, the sensitivity of the Pivotal Snake seemed to have broken through some kind of restriction. A large area of its detection range suddenly disappeared, turning into a precise coordinate in the blink of an eye!

The Ancestral Tree King’s eyes widened in shock, and his mind went blank.

The connection between the World Tree and the Pivotal Snake was two-way. When the World Tree could accurately locate the Pivotal Snake, it meant that the Pivotal Snake had entered adulthood and could locate the precise coordinates of the World Tree.

This meant that… the mother tree’s location had been exposed!

If he had not confirmed that the mother tree would not lie to him, he would have suspected that the poison that the mother tree had concocted was actually the catalyst for the maturation of the Pivotal Snake.

The Ancestral Tree King was confused.

I sent people to assassinate the Pivotal Snake. Even if she failed, they would only lose one high-level combatant. Why did it cause the Pivotal Snake to mature?

Not only did we not solve this threat, we even shortened the time it took for this hidden danger to erupt… We originally had a few decades to deal with it, but now, this little bit of buffer time is gone. We are now facing imminent danger without any mental preparations.

What should I do?

“How could this be…”

Hayleen was stunned as well. Before the two of them could recover from their shock, a space crack suddenly opened in this secondary dimension. Han Xiao stepped into the void and slowly walked out.

Han Xiao looked around and quickly locked onto a seemingly empty area. It was actually where Hayleen was hiding.

“Do you want to come out yourself, or do you want me to invite you?”

Hayleen was shocked.

The series of unforeseen events had already thrown her into chaos. She did not expect Black Star to find her so quickly, and with just a glance, he had already seen through the stealth effect of the Leaf Concealment Robe and locked onto her location.

“Stop hiding. You can’t escape from my senses.”
