Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos

Chapter 59. Froorar Arrives.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Forest, the ominous sound of approaching beasts grew louder. Despite the difficulty of hearing in the air, Liu Shu could sense their presence through the vibrations of their heavy steps, transmitted to her through her roots.

Liu Shu understood the meaning of these vibrations mainly because she was accustomed to hearing the forest's sounds through her roots. Remember that while Liu Shu used <World Tree Eye> to look at the nearby world around her, her other senses were as proficient at detecting, but they focused on different types of senses and information to rely on Liu Shu on what was happening around her.

Her mind, speaking of normal intelligence, was very immature. However, as a tree, her ability to multitask, absorb, and process several sources of information was unmatched.

The reason for Liu Shu's delayed responses was not her inability to answer quickly. It was because her body, which was gradually transforming into a massive creature, was consuming most of her information-processing capacity.

If a human mind were placed in Liu Shu, it would be overwhelmed by the amount of information coursing through its entire body, leading to the tree wilting and the mind dying with it.

Sensing their approach, Liu Shu looked around the Rose Fairies and saw they were clueless. Most of them were still doing their daily actions, while three of them were flying around her while trimming her branches and cleaning her bark.

Liu Shu felt extremely comfortable, but she couldn't help but worry. 'Hm? They don't know. Should I tell them?'

Liu Shu slowly pondered and finally decided to do so after she saw Flor getting up from a nap. It had been almost one and a half days since Cinderielle arrived. Speaking of the attack, Flor was confused as to why the River Beavers didn't attack with the rest.

If what they wanted was to kill Liu Shu, it would be a very suicidal action, as it proved to be to go alone against her. Even without taking into account Liu Shu's surprising strength, Flor's presence should've been enough of a warning.

However, they still came. The Rose Fairy Queen had discussed this with the new guests, and their best guess was that Liu Shu was such a precious resource for them that they chose to separate and try to take everything before the others arrived.

With a Level 10 in the mix, their ability to trample almost any group in the Golden Sap Forest might've swelled the beast's ego, making them more willing to take risks.

Sadly, those poor creatures met a mighty World Tree.

Flor, who was thinking about these things, suddenly felt an energy pulse of danger coming from Liu Shu. She quickly sat up and flew upward, looking around with sharp eyes. Sadly, the lush forest prevented her from seeing anything that caught her attention. However, this didn't relax her; on the contrary, it made her even more cautious.

After two days of resting and eating Liu Shu's regular fruits, she managed to recover the remaining Phoer Body Shards and most of her Aether Mana Shards. Flor's regeneration allowed her to recover around 300 Phoer Body Shards daily and nearly 1100 Aether Mana daily; adding the 100 extra from 10 berries of each ternary essence, Flor recovered enough Phoer Body Shards to heal and enough Aether Mana Shards to regain more than eighty percent of her Aether Mana.

When she flew down with her regained agility, Flor shouted. "Prepare for combat!"

All Rose Fairies moved into action immediately while Cinderielle and the four humans looked around with confusion. Robert asked. "What's wrong, Fairy Queen?"

During these last two days, they'd become much closer and could talk with each other on a much more casual level. This didn't mean that formalities were thrown out of the window, but at least it was progressing in the right direction.
