Ascension of the Sylvan Cosmos - Volume 1

Chapter 180. First Arrivals at Golden Sap Town.

The first group that was leading toward the Golden Sap Forest took the caravan with a curious gaze. After all, each caravan had strong Explorers guarding it, which was rare. Such a big movement had not happened since Fortuna City's opening all those years back.

Of course, the scale was different because Fortuna City was a much bigger event. After all, the tree in the middle was a World Tree.

Still, towns that had Life Trees were almost as popular for different reasons. Their auras were good enough to enhance the base living quality, and because of their presence, they usually became commercial hubs.

This time, the first group that arrived was expecting a slight increase in ternary essence density. Instead, when they entered Liu Shu's domain, they got a wall of dense energies covering their body and almost forcing them to take a deep breath to taste the pure and refreshing aura.

A woman who had been looking bored the entire way widened her eyes and asked. "What is this? How can there be such a dense atmosphere in this place? Wasn't this forest a below-Level-10 area until very recently?"

One of the leading explorers who was protecting the caravan said. "The reason that this place evolved in the first place was this surge of energy. Now, seeing Level 10 and above creatures is not that strange. All the beings that were Level 9 had managed to evolve, increasing the overall value of the place by a lot. Then, with the territorial battles occurring here and there, some of the creatures are now at a very high level. The other day, I encountered a Level 14 beast."

A man at the side snorted. "Level 14 is very low. What are you trying to promote here?"

The Explorer smiled. "A future. Remember that the Golden Sap Forest was an area below Level 10 not long ago. A year later, Level 14 beasts are roaming the place."

The woman's face became pensive. "How many residents can this place hold?"

The Explorer smiled. "This town is still being built up. There are not many houses. However, when you realize what the houses can do, I don't know if you'll want to leave, hahaha."

The snarky man at the side snorted again. "Boastful. When you say such big words, it is easy for those words to fall on your head, hurting you."

The Explorer man shrugged. Then, he shouted. "We are now going to see our bodyguards into the depths of the forest. Please, don't freak out! We guarantee the safety of the journey!"

The nearly 20 people in the caravan looked outside curiously and saw a few giant red insects appearing from the forest. One woman shouted. "A-Ant! Kill them!"

"Oh, branches above, we are going to die!"

"Turn the carriage around quickly!"

The Explorer shouted. "Keep calm! These are the protectors!"

Everyone looked at the Explorer with stunned expressions, but when they observed the ants, they saw that they had moved around them, but they didn't act. This surprised many until they saw someone appearing from the forest surrounded by a gentle breeze.

A tiny humanoid creature with beautiful red hair and eyes, wearing a red dress and with milky white skin, flew out of the forest. "Welcome, visitors. I am Clavel. I am a Rose Fairy that's here to welcome you to our <Golden Sap Town>. The ants around us follow my commands, so as long as none of you have evil intentions, there is no need to feel afraid or nervous."

The people in the carriages blinked twice, surprised at the eloquence of the Rose Fairy in front of them. Clavel smiled prettily, and she said. "Please, if you have any questions, you can always ask me anything. I'll answer to the best of my abilities."
