Dungeon Survival: Starting with a Succubus School Beauty

Chapter 22 The World Tree Seed is Evolving—

Upon hearing this, Lin Xia took a deep breath, looked at the tempting seed, and revealed an extremely helpless expression.

"But there's an unbreakable barrier outside it, so I can't get it."

Lin Xia pointed to the empty center of the altar.

"We can only watch helplessly..."

Zhu Zhuyun was somewhat unwilling upon hearing this.

"Can't we break down the barrier?"

Lin Xia shook her head. "I've tried it before, and my attacks have no effect at all."

Upon hearing this, the light in Zhu Zhuyun's eyes instantly died down, her shoulders slumped in dejection, and her face was filled with immense regret.

"Alas! What a disappointment! A mountain of treasure gone to waste!"

Just then, Shuang Ruxue, who was slumped on the ground, blinked and looked at the two dejected people with a puzzled expression.

"Huh? What's bothering you?"

Shuang Ruxue pointed to herself.

"Don't I have the Door-Door Fruit?"

She raised her still trembling finger and gently touched the spot next to the World Tree seed on the altar, where the air portal opened and closed.

sizzle.

A fist-sized air portal opened silently directly beneath the World Tree seed.

The emerald seed, emitting a faint glow, was pulled by gravity and tilted slightly, falling directly into the alternate dimension opened by Shuang Ruxue through the small portal.

The airlock door closed instantly.

Shuang Ruxue spread out her palms, a thought forming in her mind.

The precious World Tree seed appeared out of thin air in her fair palm.

"Here you go!"

Shuang Ruxue handed the seeds to Lin Xia with a hint of smugness and self-righteousness on her face.

"Isn't that what you got?"

Lin Xia: "..."

Zhu Zhuyun: "..."

The cave was completely silent.

Seeing that Shuang Ruxue had obtained the item so easily, the two of them were at a loss for words.

Seeing the two bewildered people, Shuang Ruxue directly handed the World Tree seed in her hand to Lin Xia.

"Zhu Yun, there's something I don't understand. Shouldn't the Elven race have some kind of Ancient Tree of Life?"

"Why the World Tree?"

Zhu Zhuyun smiled upon hearing this, and then said directly:

"Initially it was the Ancient Tree of Life, but later the Elf race also came to the underground world, obtained an item, and then evolved the Ancient Tree of Life."

"So the sacred object transformed into the World Tree!"

After hearing this, Lin Xia silently took out the item upgrade scroll she had obtained earlier from her backpack and said:

"I think I have a similar item!"

"This item upgrade scroll can upgrade an item once unconditionally."

Zhu Zhuyun was completely stunned upon hearing this.

His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Lin Xia.

After a long while, he said softly:

"Boss, tell me the truth, you're not some lucky charm's illegitimate child, are you?"

"How did you manage to obtain such an overpowered item in a low-level dungeon, especially since you've only been here for two days?!"

"We've already gained so much!"

The more Zhu Zhuyun spoke, the more doubtful she became.

She couldn't figure it out.

After exchanging a glance, Lin Xia and Shuang Ruxue burst into laughter.

"Perhaps you're right, the master really might be Lady Luck's illegitimate son!"

After the battle, Lin Xia was completely at ease about Zhu Zhuyun.

He immediately showed his talent to Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun saw that Lin Xia's talent was SSS-level luck.

I understood it all in an instant.

No wonder I've always managed to collect all sorts of outrageous things along the way!

It went so smoothly it was unbelievable.

Lin Xia smiled when she saw Zhu Zhuyun's expression.

After a smile, he stopped talking and fixed his gaze on the emerald green seed in his left palm, which emitted a faint light and seemed to contain a miniature universe.

Without hesitation, he used the item upgrade scroll with his right hand!

[Ding—Item upgrade scroll successfully used!]

[The World Tree seed is evolving—]

Om-!

There was no earth-shattering roar, but an indescribable, powerful wave, seemingly originating from the very source of life, suddenly spread out.

The scroll transformed into countless glittering golden starlight points, instantly disappearing into the World Tree seed.

The World Tree seed trembled violently, then burst forth with unprecedented light!

It was no longer a soft glow, but a condensed emerald-colored beam of light that shot silently into the sky!

The beam of light was not a physical object, yet it seemed to penetrate the thick rock layers of the cave and reach some unknown dimension.

The entire moss cave was illuminated like an emerald palace. The moss on the cave walls, which emitted blue-green fluorescent light, paled in comparison under this pure light of life. It grew wildly and withered in an instant, as if it were experiencing billions of years of time cycle.

An indescribable fresh, ancient, and vast aura spread out, and Shuang Ruxue and Zhu Zhuyun felt every cell in their bodies cheering and jumping for joy. Their spirits were lifted, and even the fatigue after the battle dissipated.

Meanwhile.

In the deep, lightless abyss, a pair of enormous, blood-red eyes, like a lava lake, suddenly opened, their violent intent sweeping across the void.

"The aura of the world's origin? No... something higher! Where is it?!"

Deep within the elven kingdom, the branches of the ancient tree of life rustled without wind, producing a distant yet urgent sound. The elven queen, seated on her throne in the tree crown, abruptly stopped playing her zither, her beautiful face filled with shock and confusion.

"A thrill that transcends sacred objects... originates from the crypt?"

In a mechanical kingdom filled with gears and steam, a massive central AI emits a piercing alarm, and countless data streams frantically flood the screen.

"A superscalar life form energy level jump detected! Coordinates...unable to lock! Logic error!"

In the ethereal, cloud-topped heavenly palace, an old man with a white beard, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His eyes flashed with a sharp light as he rapidly calculated with his fingers, his brows furrowing more and more tightly.

"The secrets of heaven are chaotic; how could there be variables that defy fate? How strange!"

Throughout the myriad realms, countless powerful beings, regardless of good or evil, or their allegiance, were all alarmed at this moment.

Divine senses, demonic consciousness, technological scanning, and profound deductions... all these methods intertwine to form an invisible giant net, frantically probing towards the source of the fluctuations—the underground world.

However, when they touched that invisible barrier, all their explorations vanished without a trace, instantly losing their target.

The fluctuations were so intense they shook one's very soul, yet their source seemed shrouded in a mist of absolute luck, becoming elusive and impossible to trace.

"Hmph! Hiding your true colors!"

The being in the abyss roared in anger.

"Blocked? What incredible power..."

The Elf Queen murmured softly, her eyes filled with even deeper sorrow.

"Unknown variable...Threat level: Unknown!"

The alarm in the mechanical kingdom turned into a muffled hum.

However, it is precisely because of this that these powerful beings decided to descend upon the cave again to search for this unknown treasure!

.........

The instant the beam of light erupted, a chilling sensation suddenly shot from Lin Xia's tailbone to the top of her head!

He felt as if countless cold, greedy, and inquisitive gazes pierced through the endless void, nailing him to the ground, almost suffocating him.

Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
