Chapter 43 The 'Tree' Growing in the Room

The inexplicable scene left Tang Cao stunned.

She remained in the transformed pose, not reacting for quite a while.

What about the monster?

What about such a huge monster?

Staring blankly at the spot where the ruler had disappeared, Tang Cao was filled with questions.

When did I become so powerful? I don't even need to use any magic; the transformation effect alone wipes out the opponent without leaving a trace.

Xiao Bai, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.

Her gaze slowly fell on the ice surface on the carpet; she knew perfectly well what had happened.

The only being capable of sending her here from the real world, and of making the ruler disappear from the mirror surface with a flick of a finger, is 'that person'.

"Little White, did you see that?"

At that moment, Tangcao's voice rang out from the side, sounding extremely surprised.

Xiao Bai hadn't forgotten her promise to Tang Zijun, so she paused before answering.

"The space of that surface world is relatively unstable. What we see may only be a phantom of the ruler. Although it appears in front of us, it may be very far away."

"I see." Tang Cao nodded. She didn't really understand this, but she just listened to whatever Xiao Bai said. "Then what is this Dominator? Is it also a heretic demon?"

"Although both are manifestations of negative energy, the Dominator and the Outer Demon are not the same kind of existence. Strictly speaking, the Dominator cannot even be considered a 'living being'."

"Unlike the Outer Demons, which are formed from dark crystals created by the accumulation of negative energy and thus develop their own consciousness, the Dominators are monsters that are catalyzed in the surface world by the spirit of intruders. Everyone sees a different Dominator in the surface world."

Xiao Bai glanced at Tang Cao and quickly explained.

"Judging from the clothes worn by that ruler just now, it seems to be the reflection of the Great Xin spiritual world you mentioned."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao couldn't help but recall the strange figure dressed in a chef's uniform that she had seen before.

Remember that the two of them initially went there to buy a cake? If what Xiaobai said is true, then the ruler is most likely a reflection of his or Su Siyao's mental world.

As I pondered, Xiaobai's urging voice came again.

"Don't overthink it. Don't forget our purpose. I'm not here to show you around!"

"Oh right!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Cao immediately came to her senses.

She suddenly tossed the pendant gently into the air, simultaneously continuing the transformation incantation she hadn't finished reciting earlier.

"—Bloom!"

A burst of pure white light suddenly erupted, enveloping Tangcao's body. Amidst the howling wind, her long black hair was also tinged with white frost.

With a nimble turn, strange energy spread out like ripples in water, and Tang Cao's school uniform transformed into a short skirt.

He raised his hand and caught the falling 'pendant,' but the pendant had now transformed into a short staff about one meter long. The staff was completely transparent, like pure ice.

"Okay, let's go!"

After transforming, Tangcao's forward speed increased significantly.

And perhaps it was the sense of security brought by the power, but she even felt that the eerie environment around her was not as scary as before.

After all, no matter how low the surrounding temperature was, it wasn't as low as the temperature of the ice-type magic emanating from her body.

The next stretch of road was unusually clear. Tang Cao thought she would be ambushed by the Dominator, but strangely, she didn't see anything along the way, as if she and Xiao Bai were the only ones in the entire restaurant.

Tangcao did ask Xiaobai for the reason, but Xiaobai's meaning was that this world was about to become desolate and die out, so its negative energy was not particularly large.

If Da Xin hadn't accidentally wandered into this place, this outer world would have completely disappeared into nothingness within a few months, turning into nourishment for the inner world.

Moreover, Da Xin was the only one who accidentally wandered into this place, and since he is an optimist, the negative energy he provides is barely enough to sustain the survival of this surface world.

Not to mention creating any powerful rulers.

Although that's what she said, Tang Cao still had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

When Xiaobai first appeared in front of her, she described the real world as extremely dangerous, but now it felt like this place was no different from an escape room.

It's not even as good as an escape room, at least in an escape room there are girls in makeup chasing after you.

If this world is truly on the verge of extinction, then under such a desperate counterattack, it's impossible for this place to be so peaceful; those guys should be doing everything in their power to stop me.

With this question in mind, Tang Cao followed Xiao Bai, turning left and right, until she finally arrived at the end of the corridor.

At the end, directly facing the direction of Tangcao, a large door was tightly closed.

The latest novel is first published here!

The door handle was covered in rust, as if it hadn't been touched in a long time.

The carvings on the door are blurred and indistinct, as if they have been eroded by some force, turning the once exquisite door into its current dilapidated state.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only Tang Cao's footsteps echoing in the empty corridor.

Tang Cao felt inexplicably nervous. As she approached the door, a sense of unease crept up her back, causing her to instinctively tighten her grip on the short cane in her hand.

There seemed to be a light on in the room behind the door, with a faint glow coming through the crack under the door. However, strangely, there was a dark shadow in the center of that light.

The shadowy figure remained motionless, as if something behind the door was also standing in front of it, peering at Tangcao outside through the peephole.

Just then, Xiaobai, seeing that Tangcao hadn't made any move for a long time, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She leaped up nimbly, her little paws gripping the doorknob, her agile movements catching Tang Cao completely off guard.

Then, the door slowly opened, making a chilling creaking sound.

Tangcao quickly raised her short staff, ready for battle.

However, the expected scene of some monster rushing towards him the moment the door was opened did not occur.

In the dimly lit room, a bizarrely strange 'tree' stood abruptly in the very center.

The trunk of that thing was rough and twisted, and it was not a single tree, but rather composed of countless tentacles intertwined together.

The patterns on the surface of the whiskers resembled the faces of people wailing in pain. With each breath, the mouths on those faces opened and closed, looking extremely terrifying.

Black snowflakes drifted in the air, and as the door opened, they changed direction and flew towards Tangcao's location.

"This is it."

Xiao Bai stared intently at the 'trees' growing in the room, a look of disgust on her face.

"Quick, Tangcao, destroy it with your magic!"
