Diary of Guarding Monster Girls

Chapter 846 - 430: Mushroom Explorer and the Tree That Walks Freely (Part 3)

She controlled the mushroom puppet to scratch its head and uncertainly asked, "Eh... could it be, this matter is actually very unusual? Do you know the origin of that tree?"

Miser Herbert has spoken and has some understanding of Sofia’s current state.

This guy should have lost his memory as a Heroic Spirit under the Divine accidentally, and now only has the memory and knowledge as Herbert’s servant.

As a result, Sofia shook her head and said, "No, I know nothing about the origin of that big tree."

Miser felt even more strange and continued to ask, "Then why are you so nervous?"

"Because the focus of the matter is not on its origin, but its location."

"Location?"

Sofia’s expression was serious, and she said solemnly, "Did you notice, based on the map you described, it is not in the outer layer but deep within the unexplored Inner Ring."

Oh!

Miser suddenly exclaimed, finally realizing what he had overlooked—location.

That tree... it’s in the central area of the Mist Mountain Range!

Due to its excessively prominent height, it caught his distant attention.

"Though it doesn’t move much now, you happened to notice it, but when it continues to move, it will definitely draw the attention of other beings."

The Centaur Heroic Spirit furrowed its brows tightly, a hint of solemnity in its expression, and said gravely, "This really will be us, eventually exposing our current location, attracting more entities to notice us."

They all understood what exposure meant for Elda.

Although Elda has temporarily found footing at the edge of the Mist Mountain Range and began to develop steadily.

But compared to those unknown and powerful creatures deep within the mountain range, Elda’s strength is still too far off.

If a certain entity does emerge from the depths, it will likely be another fierce battle for them.

"How far is that big tree currently from us?"

Facing Sofia’s inquiry, Miser also became serious, controlling the mycelium, carefully analyzing and contemplating.

"...According to its current speed, it’s estimated that it would take another month to reach the region where the inner and outer divide."

The Ghost Wolf was accidentally caught by a strange bird and hung on the tree as reserve fodder, staying in a fixed position for three days, which allowed Miser to notice the tree’s movement.

Usually, it wouldn’t be noticed so easily.

However, Miser was not so optimistic, instead reminding, "But, if it’s to ensure it doesn’t attract anyone’s attention, then only about half a month’s time is left."

"If we’re unlucky, we might not even have half a month before others notice us."

The Mushroom Merchant guessed what Sofia wanted to do and continued to supplement:

"And if you want to bring people to investigate, there’s only seven days of absolutely safe time, beyond which there’s risk of exposure."

Seven days, this is the timeframe Miser calculated in his heart.

Exceeding a week, with each passing day, the risk of exposure increases significantly.

"Seven days?"

Sofia quietly contemplated for a while, then smiled, nodding at Miser’s surprised gaze, "Well, it appears the situation is better than I initially imagined; we’re not at the worst-case scenario yet, we still have time."

"My master has sent me a message; he will return soon."

Upon thinking of that person, the Centaur Heroic Spirit’s expression lightened as if no problem existed, and he confidently replied in a low voice, "Yes, when he returns, everything will be smoothly resolved."

He seemed as if that person was omnipotent.

...

...

And at this moment, the master whom Sofia held infinite trust and admiration for was sternly contemplating a problem.

"..."

Herbert furrowed his brows, thought deeply for a long time, then turned to Kreti and asked, "Do you think... the Divine Spirit is omnipotent?"
