Lance Shanks touched the camera in his hand, wondering if he could go back and copy it back to its source.
Although she knew nothing about machinery, the believers certainly knew it. Humans were no exception, and the intelligence of the beast tribe was even higher than that of humans. They would definitely be fine.
"Lance Shanks, be careful! You're exposed too!" Yu Jin turned his back to Lance Shanks and reminded her.
Lance Shanks, in human form, is wearing a ritual white veil. It looks really good, but it's also really loose.
Normally there is no problem, but when the wind blows strongly, the degree of exposure will be even worse than Lisa's.
"Ah? Oh!" Lance Shanks noticed his condition only after hearing what Yu Jin said, and belatedly corrected the veil that was about to fall off.
"By the way, where is Albedo? Why haven't we seen him yet?" Yu Jin looked at the endless green in the distance and asked, kicking the stones at his feet.
Woman, what a hassle!
If possible next time, he will definitely switch with Albedo.
Testing the cold tolerance of the golden tree, such an easy task he could do. The embers can not only test the cold tolerance of the golden tree, but also test its heat tolerance!
"It should be soon. Albedo should be not far ahead." Lisa looked around and said so after confirming her location.
"That's good! If I don't get there soon, the wind will blow me to pieces!" Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, luckily they were almost there.
"Let's go!" Lisa tidied her clothes and took the lead to walk deeper.
"Follow me, follow me!" Seeing this, Yu Jin immediately pulled the dragon horn on Lance Shanks' head who started taking pictures again and followed him.
……
The scene before them became more and more familiar, and finally a wide area appeared in front of everyone, which was where the honeysuckle tree was located.
However, the honeysuckle tree in front of him seemed a little different from before. The red crystals on its trunk were brighter, and the trunk was whiter.
When Yu Jin looked down, he saw familiar figures - Albedo, Ying, and Paimon.
"Hmm..., I didn't expect there would be such a magical tree in the snowy mountains." Albedo seemed to be completely immersed in the research.
He touched the bark of the honeysuckle tree, which always felt familiar.
"Yes! It's really amazing. I didn't expect that just by breaking a big block of ice, the tree would turn white in an instant!"
Paimon also touched her chin like Albedo, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything and could only repeat the magical scene just now.
"It's like I suddenly came back to life." Ying looked at the blood-like clots on the honeysuckle tree and also felt a familiar scent.
"It's not a resemblance, it's alive." Albedo looked at the honeysuckle tree in front of him. Being well versed in alchemy, he could already feel the faint vitality in the tree.
Although he was very interested in the tree in front of him, Albedo still suppressed his curiosity because he had more important things to do.
Albedo picked up the flowerpot at his feet, in which grew a golden tree seedling.
Although it has not grown much, the color of the golden tree seedling is purer. Its trunk has no other colors except gold, and the green leaves on the crown are as bright as emerald.
"Ah... Albedo, are you... are you so rich?" Paimon and Ying, who had just met Albedo, noticed the golden tree under his feet and their mouths were watering.
How much Mora would a sapling made of gold and jade be worth? If they had one, they wouldn't have to go to the snowy mountains and endure the wind and rain to do those headache-inducing commissions.
"Hey, hey, hey! Your saliva is flowing! What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice came, and Yu Jin gently tapped Ying and Paimeng's heads.
"Wow! Embers?"
"senior?"
Paimon and Ying looked surprised. Isn't the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain rarely visited? How come we can see embers here?
"And me, cutie."
"Me, me, me! I'm here too!"
Lisa and Lance Shanks followed closely behind.
"It looks like everyone is here." Albedo handed the golden tree sapling to Ember and continued, "The golden tree is very tough and can definitely survive in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."
"I originally wanted to plant it here, but..." Albedo pointed to the honeysuckle tree that had just revived, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Did you two do it?" Yu Jin looked at the honeysuckle tree that had been dyed a new color and understood.
No wonder the honeysuckle tree didn’t respond when he sang to it, it turned out it was hibernating.
Misstep, misstep.
"Yeah, yeah, Ying split the big ice block with a sword, and it came alive." Paimon nodded and demonstrated Ying's movements.
Ying wasn't as heartless as Paimeng. She scratched her head and said nervously, "Am I getting in the way of everyone's business?"
Ying looked at Albedo, Lisa and Jinx, and knew without a doubt that they must have their own purpose in the snowy mountains.
"It's a little troublesome, but it's no big deal." Albedo frowned. This is a good place. There is plenty of sunshine, and the wind and snow are gentle. It is a rare mild place in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
I don’t know how long it will take to find such a good place in the vast snow-capped mountains.
Watching Yu Jin walking towards the Honeysuckle Tree step by step, Albedo came back to his senses and said to Yu Jin:
"It's better not to cut down this tree. There are many things on it that are worth studying. At worst, I can work overtime and find a similar place in no time."
There are not many things in this world that can interest Albedo, and the honeysuckle tree is one of them. If possible, Albedo hopes that it and the golden tree can grow well.
"Who said I was going to chop down this tree?" Ember's words dispelled Albedo's doubts. He stroked the trunk of the honeysuckle tree.
The trunk is very white and feels so smooth that it doesn't look like bark. This is a branch formed by the earth vein extending out of the ground. Following its roots, you can find the world tree buried deep under the earth.
"Hahaha, branches of the earth veins, it seems that the World Tree is easy to find! It really is easy to get it without any effort."

"World Tree? What is that?" Paimon became confused when he saw Yu Jin laughing.
She seemed to have never heard of this thing.
"It is the source of the earth veins located under Mount Sumeru. Strictly speaking, it is not a tree." Albedo began to briefly explain the concept of the World Tree.
Then Paimon and Ying's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes.
"Forget it, forget it, stop talking! Let's wait until we get to Xumi to learn about the things on Xumi!" Paimon looked at Albedo who was talking nonstop and immediately waved his hand to interrupt him.
Paimon suspected that if he didn't interrupt him, Albedo would probably talk until dark.
Albedo stopped talking after hearing this, and looked at Ying expressionlessly. Ying felt Albedo's gaze and nodded immediately like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ying also felt that Paimeng was right this time.
"Ah~" Albedo sighed. It seemed like these two guys were only good at synthesis and decomposition in alchemy.
"By the way, Lisa, what are you guys doing here?" Ying avoided Albedo's disappointed gaze and ran over to talk to Lisa.
"What? Just planting trees." Lisa glanced at Lance Shanks who was pulling the golden tree, and couldn't help covering her forehead.
I don't know why Lance Shanks always has a problem with a tree. Whenever she has time, she will definitely play with the golden tree seedlings.
Fortunately, the vitality of the golden tree seedling was strong enough, and simply tearing it would not have any effect on it. Over time, Lisa no longer cared about Lance Shanks' actions.
"Is this really a tree?" Paimon was surprised to hear what Lisa said and walked around the golden tree several times.
What a strange tree, it looks like it was carved from Mora. The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.
"That's for sure. And this tree is not an ordinary tree. It has its own consciousness." Lance Shanks looked at Paimon with a curious look and introduced with a smile.
"Come on, Xiao Huang, jump for your sister Lan to see." Lance Shanks said, and patted the crown of the golden tree seedling.
After hearing what Lance Shanks said, the golden tree seedling's crown raised and its stems and leaves trembled continuously, as if it had suffered a great insult.
"Puff~" A sound like a fart came from the golden tree seedling, and a tiny drop of grace appeared on its green leaves.
Then the golden tree sapling bent its trunk, accumulating strength like a spring. The strength was released, and a perfect jump appeared before everyone's eyes.
The only difference is that the one who made this action was a small sapling.
You thought the Golden Tree was shaking with anger because of humiliation, but in fact it was simply constipated. As for the Grace Dew Drops that were thrown out, it didn't even have Paimong Gao, so what effect did you expect these dew drops to have?
Seeing such an amazing scene, Ying and Paimon's eyes widened involuntarily. Their mouths opened wide due to shock, and now they can easily fit an egg!
Oh, by the way, Paimon is a quail egg, so an egg still can’t fit in.
"Bang!" Ember punched Lance Shanks on the head, causing him to stagger.
"Ouch! Wang, what are you doing?" Lance Shanks rubbed his head and asked unconsciously.
"What are you saying about me? You don't do your job all day long and just bully a sapling. You're a dragon after all!" Ember pointed at Lance Shanks and said angrily.
"Tsk~, I can't beat the golden tree, but can't I bully its son?" Lance Shanks whistled, showing no remorse at all.
"Forget it. I don't care about you. Once it takes root, you won't be able to play!" Seeing Lance Shanks' eyes rolling around, Yu Jin let her do what she wanted.
The dragon clan used to be the rulers of the border area, but later all of it was taken away by the Golden Tree. It is normal for Lance Shanks to have resentment towards the Golden Tree.
Anyway, once the golden tree is planted and its roots are deeply rooted in the earth, Lance Shanks won’t be able to play with it even if he wants to.
After dealing with Lance Shanks, Yu Jin turned his head and looked at Ying and Paimon who had just come to their senses, "Why did you two come to the snowy mountains?"
"For Maura."
"The commissions on Xueshan pay more."
It seems that Ying and Paimon are working hard to save money.
"Ember, what should we do now?" Albedo walked over. The revival of the Honeysuckle Tree was beyond his expectations, and it also snatched away the planting site he had chosen for the Golden Tree.
I guess this time it will end in vain. Thinking of this, Albedo couldn't help but sigh. He had been preparing for a long time, but he didn't expect this to be the result.
"What should I do?" Yu Jin looked around. It was indeed as Albedo said. The scenery here was bright and the wind and snow were blocked by the surrounding rock walls. It was a rare good place in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
But how can a tree grow into a towering tree without experiencing wind and rain? Yu Jin waved his hand and pointed to the snow-covered mountaintop in the distance and said:
"Go to the top of the mountain! Only by experiencing the most violent snowstorms can you grow to a height that reaches the clouds!"
"Swish, swish, swish!" The golden tree seedling seemed to be moved by Yu Jin's words, and its green leaves began to tremble again, as if it couldn't wait.
"Don't get excited! You will freeze to death on the top of the snowy mountain!" Lisa said as she patted the crown of the golden tree sapling, looking as if it had been fooled.
"Hey, how do you know the golden tree is excited?" Lance Shanks asked Lisa curiously as he looked at the trembling golden tree seedling.
The golden tree seedling would only tremble no matter what happened. How did Lisa know that it was excited? Couldn't it be trembling with fear?
Lance Shanks thought so as he looked at the mountaintop in the distance which was covered with thick clouds and almost completely covered with ice.
