At this moment, Chen Xuan, wearing the blood-stained mask, calmly watched the continuously shaking and swirling tree roots, even showing a trace of curiosity in his eyes.
"Something like a plant-based existence?"
His gaze swept around, then he suddenly smiled.
"Silly girl, don't you know you should leave the influence of the Ghost Domain first?"
"Leave?"
Chen Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, speaking somewhat pitifully, "We tried, but we simply can't get out."
"Ahem! Mister Gentleman, the Ghost Domain is made up of tree roots densely spread beneath the entire ground. We can't get out if we can't deal with the roots."
Xue Qian naturally knew the gentleman's reputation and couldn't help but explain.
"To solve the problem here, we have to deal with that banyan tree first. Otherwise, there's no other way."
Chen Xuan glanced at him. The voice beneath the mask sounded strange and cold.
"The method is correct, but the reason is wrong."
"Hm?"
Xue Qian and Qin Long both narrowed their eyes, confusion appearing on their faces.
The method is right, but the reason is wrong? What does that mean?
Chen Xuan stepped forward, walking steadily toward the distant giant banyan tree, his calm words following.
"The thing forming the Ghost Domain is indeed the banyan tree, but it's not the roots—it's the tree's shadow."
"Tree's shadow?"
Xue Qian coughed heavily as if suddenly realizing something, then suddenly exclaimed,
"I get it now! No wonder the roots didn't target us before; it was the shadow that didn't affect us."
Chen Xuan's one sentence completely cleared the understanding of the experienced Ghost Tamer.
"Captain Xue, w-what exactly is going on?"
Chen Ruoqing felt that since the gentleman appeared, her Malevolent Ghost revival had completely weakened.
She instinctively asked.
Xue Qian looked at Chen Ruoqing, then glanced at the gentleman, and said straightforwardly,
"At first, when we just entered the Ghost Domain, we weren't yet targets for the banyan tree's killing.
It was only the second time when we stopped and got covered by the shadow that the shadow somehow confirmed its target.
That's why two people were directly attacked.
Our counterattack then triggered the banyan tree's reaction."
Chen Ruoqing nodded in sudden understanding and asked, "So what do we do now?"
"We can only focus on the banyan tree itself. The best way is to destroy it."
Xue Qian analyzed.
"That's hard. Even when I just swung my sword, I couldn't cut through the banyan tree's bark, let alone destroy it."
Qin Long's voice sounded nearby. He now felt this banyan tree should be called a Ghost Tree, and its threat level must have reached A-Tier.
In a city, it might even grow to S-Tier.
His words were actually a warning to the gentleman, worried he might not understand how dangerous the banyan tree was.
However, the strolling Chen Xuan calmly said,
"Since the tree's shadow is how its Ghost Domain exists, to solve this, we need light.
As long as there is enough light to dispel the shadows, we can find the loophole and get out of the Ghost Domain."
"Right!"
Xue Qian slapped his forehead. "How did I not think of that?"
But as he looked around, he was shocked to realize,
"That won't work. Unless there's a Ghost Tamer who can start a fire, where can we get light?"
Could they use a lighter? Even if they had one, everything around was fake and couldn't be ignited.
Originally, everyone thought Chen Xuan had found a way to escape, but soon they met a problem.
Just as they hesitated, Chen Xuan stopped not far from the banyan tree.
Countless vines flew around, but as if they had a mind of their own, they avoided his body and couldn't harm him at all.
"No fire? Then we'll just have to chop the tree open!"
His faint words sounded, and in the next moment, Chen Xuan moved.
