At this moment, the sky was completely dark.

Cao Xing remarked: “Not bad, we’ve pretty much utilized all resources now.”

“Compared to a week ago, my territory’s strength has greatly improved.”

“With this, facing tomorrow’s monster siege, I feel more confident.”

Just as he was happily contemplating, Cao Xing felt something was amiss.

He glanced around.

He noticed the fog in the territory was getting thicker.

In fact, even with his vision, he couldn’t see scenes a kilometer or two away.

In good weather conditions, he could easily make out an ant’s outline from ten kilometers away.

Now, with visibility comparable to that of an ordinary person, this situation seemed bizarre.

“Is it just my territory, or is everyone encountering this dense fog?”

With a puzzled expression, Cao Xing opened the chat channel.

He immediately saw many survivors discussing this fog.

“Damn! What’s going on, why is there suddenly so much fog? Are you experiencing the same?”

“Same here, it’s freaky, I can’t even find where my Lord Mansion is.”

“This fog is massive, it’s the first time encountering it since arriving in this world.”

“Brothers, have you noticed even the system’s mini-map is obscured?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and immediately checked.

Indeed, the small map that survivors used to see with just a thought was now enveloped in a layer of hazy fog.

It not only covered all terrain but also made the display of coordinate positions disappear.

This scene puzzled survivors worldwide.

“Damn! This fog is definitely weird, without the mini-map, we’re like lost drivers.”

“Oh no, brothers, I’m out hunting with the subjects, and we can’t find the way back to the territory. I don’t even know where I am.”

“Oh my gosh, I heard a strange sound in the fog, like a child’s crying… Damn! I just saw flickering figures in the thick fog!”

“Upstairs, that’s your territory’s subjects, don’t make a fuss.”

“…”

After scanning through the chat channel, Cao Xing confirmed his suspicion.

It seemed it wasn’t just his territory experiencing this fog, but all survivors globally were facing this situation.

Fortunately, apart from affecting visibility, the fog didn’t seem to have any other strange effects for now.

Cao Xing thought: “If it’s not causing much trouble, let’s just ignore it.”

Meanwhile.

Two figures walked over, shoulder to shoulder.

“Lord, welcome back, the Holy Tree Spirit blesses you.”

The ones speaking were Little Nif and her elder sister Juliette.

At this moment, both girls wore gentle smiles and looked at Cao Xing with affection.

Just like newlywed brides gazing at their husband.

After all, not long ago, Cao Xing had taken their first time, and the Tree Spirit Clan was a traditional race.

So in their hearts, they regarded Cao Xing as their husband and family.

Cao Xing’s face also revealed a smile, “Has anything happened recently?”

Juliette softly said, “The War Ancient Tree and Wind Ancient Tree you asked us to plant last time have all grown.”

“Currently, only the ’Ancient Tree of Knowledge’ is still growing, it may take some more time.”

“The newly grown ancient trees wish to meet you, would you be available now?”

Juliette looked at him carefully.

Cao Xing immediately said: “Of course I have time, let’s go see them now.”

“Okay.”

Hearing this, the two girls’ faces showed gentle smiles again.

Then they slowly walked over, each holding one of Cao Xing’s hands, leading him forward.

Soon, they reached the buffer zone of the territory.

Since the territory was also shrouded in this strange fog, it seemed like they were walking within a mist now.

Just then, Cao Xing vaguely saw what appeared to be a grove in the thick fog ahead…

Yes, a grove.

After approaching, they finally saw the scene clearly.

Over a hundred ancient trees, each over ten meters high with trunks exceeding a meter and a half in diameter, grew in rows.

Among them, most were ancient trees with deep brown bark and densely packed branches.

These were the War Ancient Trees, numbering over eighty.

Beside them were 12 ancient trees with light brown bark and leaves shaped like darts.

These were the Wind Ancient Trees.

At this moment, seeing Cao Xing arrive, faces started appearing on the trunks of these ancient trees.

Standing at the forefront were the three War Ancient Trees, which had arrived at Cao Xing’s territory first and had leveled up to Level 50.

One face slowly spoke, emitting a timeless sound.

“My fellow kin, the lord of this territory is here.”

Upon hearing the voice, all ancient trees opened their eyes, simultaneously directing their gaze toward Cao Xing.

“Praise the great Lord Cao Xing, thank you for allowing us to flourish again on this fertile land.”

“Praise the Lord!”

Voices full of antiquity resounded.

Clearly, Guna Ta had done its work with its people, who had great respect for Cao Xing.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

Cao Xing nodded slightly, “Welcome, ancient guardians, your arrival makes this territory safer and more vibrant.”
