A golden radish was shown in front of everyone.

[Eat! Eat! Eat!]

Bo Bo yanked out the radish with a speed that was completely unbelievable.

Then, with two small hands, lifted the radish high, eyes shining brightly.

Looking at that posture, it seemed like it might take a while before it was willing to finish eating it.

"It's just an ordinary otherworldly crystal radish."

Long Ren clicked his watch and pouted.

But what truly caught their attention was what was beneath the radish.

The ordinary crystal radish probably turned golden because it absorbed its nutrients.

Golden wood, it's the golden wood again.

This piece of golden wood, unnaturally rectangular, not very large, about the size of a small tabletop.

But for Li Pu, this was definitely a good thing.

Along with the previous small golden tree, he already felt this trip was worthwhile.

The two portions together were enough for the scarecrow to undergo two transformations.

But to store the golden wood board, he had to throw out some chunks of lava fish python meat.

"...It's really a hassle, going back and forth like this."

The chain reaction caused Long Ren to throw out some of the giant treeman's branches and leaves just collected, to store the meat chunks instead.

After all, one is B-grade magical material, the other is C-grade, the value is different.

"Wait, something seems off."

However, when Li Pu reached for the golden wood board, his expression changed slightly.

Because on the back of the golden wood board, he felt some uneven but regular marks.

He jumped out of the dirt pit and turned the wood board over.

"This... is writing? But it's not Blue Star language."

Long Ren moved closer to take a look.

"Feels more like graffiti."

Li Pu didn't recognize these strange characters.

Each twisted line looked like pictographic flowers, grasses, and trees.

"Seems like the Plant Race's universal language."

Long Ren had encountered it during class.

After saying that, both were stunned.

And then simultaneously looked at the scarecrow.

[What the heck?]

Scarecrow: What are you two staring at me for?

Scarecrow looked dumbfounded.

"You, are you really completely illiterate?"

Li Pu was at a loss for words.

"Right, if it's really universal writing, I might have a way."

Long Ren smacked his forehead, then lifted his wristwatch.

If he remembered correctly, his watch had a translation function.

It could translate some common interspecies universal languages.

[Beep beep beep...]

As a scanning light wave shot out, a small light screen appeared on the watch, displaying the translated text.

[Dragon Lady Tree]

[Likes to plant trees, elusive, skilled in shifting mountains and woods]

[Troubled my race for many years...]

Lines of text made the origin of the valley clear.

Essentially a small alien tribe, plagued for years by a magical beast called the Dragon Lady Tree.

The people tried many methods but couldn't capture or kill it.

So they thought of a way to imprison it by drawing a boundary, using a barrier to contain it.

Weakening the Dragon Lady Tree's power by stealing its reverse scale to seal it.

Thus, it couldn't rely on its abilities to break the barrier, and over the years, lost strength, eventually turning to dust.

They didn't know how long it had been since the Dragon Lady Tree was imprisoned.

Nor did they know whether the alien tribe migrated or went extinct, leaving the barrier unguarded, and now with the Minor Five Elements Realm detached from the main world, it became a forbidden place within the instance.

"..." x2

After reading the translation on the light screen, the two were silent for a while.

"So, did we break the seal of that Dragon Lady Tree?"

Li Pu looked at Long Ren.

"Seems like it... and the reverse scale mentioned should be this piece, right?"

Long Ren said, flipping his wrist to reveal the previous white scale piece.

However, this action brought unexpected consequences.

[Dragon Lady!!!]

A low mumbling that had been heard before suddenly exploded.

The voice sounded as if it were ringing right beside their ears.

In that instant, goosebumps rose on both.

They quickly turned their heads towards the sound and saw a short tree figure at the valley's exit.

Looking closely, they realized it wasn't a short tree.

But rather an entity akin to a treant.

Its appearance, very much like an old woman from within a tree.

Unlike usual treants, its body was covered in lizard or dragon-like scales.

A spot on the forehead was missing a scale.

This old woman-like treant's posture was unlike regular treants either.

It crouched on the ground with hands and feet, resembling a beast filled with wild instincts.

Long Ren instinctively lifted his watch, and with a beep, results appeared.

[S-rank, 2 transformation, LV55]

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, S-rank?!"

His voice trembled involuntarily.

As for the half-dragon beside him, the reaction was even more intense.

Beads of cold sweat seeped from its body surface, feeling an inescapable fear.

This Fear only appeared when dragonkind encountered higher-level dragon species.

Meaning, in this Dragon Lady Tree's magnetic field, the dragon attribute might outweigh its 5 Dragon attributes!

"This ugly thing, it's not that simple."

Li Pu's expression had already grown serious.
