A short while later, four houses stood alongside the lake . All four were identical and were the cheapest the community floors offered . After everybody set up their properties, they gathered together . Roy glanced around and suddenly realized someone was missing . "Where'd Uncle Walter go?"

Jason pointed towards the paG.o.da with his chin . "He had to head back to his guild . He said you can head over anytime you want . "

"Ah . " Roy was understanding . "He is a guild master after all . "

Jason had already placed the inventory ring given by Su Long back in Su Long's house . It wasn't his materials to use . With a clap of his hands, Jason said . "Ready to gather some materials?"

Cheslov smacked his fist into the palm of his hand . "I've been waiting for you to say that . "

Jason glanced around at everyone . "We've never actually fought together since the addition of Cheslov . How about we go fight a boss nearby? From this point onward, we should learn how to work together . "

Everyone voiced their agreement . After making sure everyone had a stock of potions and food, Jason walked over to the edge of the pillar . He squinted as he glanced down . After finding what he was looking for, he pointed . "There . That forest is called the living woods and is a good source of wood . As our plot flag is quite close, we should be going there pretty often . "

Roy turned towards the paG.o.da . "Alright, let's go!"

Jason grabbed Roy's shoulder and pulled him back . "What are you doing? Let's fly!"

With that, Jason stepped forward and began to fall . With a flash of light, his glider appeared under his feet . Olivia and Cheslov followed after, leaving Roy standing there by himself . His eyes twinkled as he jumped off . "Because of this pillar, we can fly through the entire floor . Awesome!"

Jason and co flew side by side . The wind was calm and refres.h.i.+ng as they flew through the air . They pa.s.sed by another pillar and flew underneath a waterfall . Roy brushed his hand against the water as he pa.s.sed . Before long, the living woods were underneath . They dove down and landed in front of the forest .

After putting away their gliders, Jason looked ahead . You weren't able to see more than twenty feet into the forest due to the thickness of the trees . They had gnarled roots crisscrossing over the ground .

Jason pulled out his weapons and calmly walked forward . "I'll lead . Roy and Olivia will be at my flank while Cheslov will watch the rear . Any complaints?"

"None . " Everyone fell into position .

Jason glanced over at Roy . "How good are your healing skills?"

"Uhh . " Roy inspected his information . "Pretty good I guess?"

Jason thought briefly before asking . "How much health can you heal before running out of mana?"

Roy counted with his fingers and replied . "Around fifteen thousand health if I only use my mana on healing skills . But if I do that, I won't be able to help fight . "

"You're more of a hybrid, right?" Jason sighed . "It's a bit awkward because we don't have a dedicated healer . "

By this point, they had already entered the forest . The sunlight was barely able to pa.s.s through the canopy . In addition to the thick roots covering the ground, it was easy to stumble and lose your footing . During a fight, that could be deadly .

"Yeah . " Just as Roy nodded, Jason raised his hand . Everyone stopped and glanced around, prepared for battle .

A moment later, a group of humanoid creatures walked around a tree, appearing in front of Jason's group . They were tall and thin, with bark as skin . There were seven of them .

Sapling - Level 65

Health: 5,000/5,000

Just as Jason was about to shout out the sapling's strengths and weaknesses, he stopped . Considering that he was now at the frontlines of the tower, information was lacking about the monsters here . If he began shouting out their characteristics left and right, it would be suspicious . Not only that, but learning to fight monsters without knowing their skills and traits was a vital skill . It would be better to let Roy and Olivia adapt and grow . He didn't know much about how Cheslov fought and learned, so now would be the best time to learn more about his new ally .

Instead, Jason fulfilled his role and rushed forward, drawing the attention of the saplings . When he got in range, he unleashed a cleave, damaging all seven saplings and causing them to focus on him . They let out sharp shrieks and charged at him . Just as they surrounded him, Olivia teleported to the shadow of the sapling in the back and began to attack rapidly .

As Jason defended against the attacks of the saplings, Roy and Cheslov appeared . As the enemy was numerous, Roy plunged his sword into the ground and activated consecration . Golden veins spread along the ground, damaging enemies and healing allies over time . At the same time, Cheslov activated leap and landed in the middle of the enemy . He spun around, using whirlwind . His two greatswords landed on every sapling, dealing over a thousand damage to each .

The first wave of attacked ended, dealing significant damage to the saplings . In particular, the one Olivia focused on was nearly dead .

Enraged, the saplings began to counterattack . As they were unintelligent lifeforms, they wildly thrashed their arms around . As they did, their arms grew longer and th.o.r.n.y . Because they were living trees, they were able to slightly alter their body at will .

This caught everyone besides Jason by surprise . The attacks that would normally have been dodged by a simple step back, instead became unavoidable due to the increased length of their arms . Cheslov, Roy, and Olivia were hit . Some thorns got embedded in their skin, causing slight bleeding damage, although it was offset by the healing from consecration .

Cheslov snarled in anger at being hit by such a simple attack . He raised both greatswords overhead and slammed them into the ground, activating battle slam . The saplings' attacks were halted as they staggered .

Everyone used this chance to attack wildly . They were able to kill two saplings before they recovered . Just as the saplings were about to attack again, Jason let out a fierce warcry . All of the saplings were hit by the skill and cowered in fear . The skill would last for three seconds . During that time, all of the saplings were killed .

Everyone released a breath . Cheslov, Roy, and Olivia pulled out the thorns in their arms . Concerned, Roy asked . "Is everybody's health okay? I can't really tell . "

Cheslov raised an eyebrow . "Don't you have the life sense pa.s.sive skill? It allows you to sense how much health your allies have . "

"Err . " Roy rubbed his cheek . "I've never had to really heal others before . "

Jason berated himself inwardly for forgetting about this particular problem before saying . "Don't worry, it isn't that expensive . A simple trip to the thirtieth floor will solve the problem . "

"Should I get it now?" Roy asked worriedly . Not being able to tell how much health your allies had as a healer was troublesome . What if you overhealed, wasting precious mana? Or worse, what if they were on the verge of death, but you didn't know?

Jason shook his head . "No, we should be able to handle the boss without it . "

Olivia bent over and picked up the loot . It was a type of wood, a fitting drop for a sapling . "I remember that this wood is used as a material for building a higher quality house . "

Jason waved his hand . "Don't worry about distributing it now . We're a guild, so we'll sort through it later . "

"Ok . " Olivia stored it in her inventory ring .

Jason and co continued onward, moving deeper into the forest . They encountered more saplings and other types of earth based creatures . One thing they had in common was that they were all made from wood . As they fought as a group, they became familiar with each other's skills . As Roy and Olivia had top talent, and Cheslov had an immature form of heavenly instinct, they began to show signs of fighting as a team .

Less than an hour later, Jason paused and knelt down . He placed his palm against the forest floor and listened . He felt a slight vibration coming from the distance . Grinning, he stood up and said . "The boss is just ahead . "

A few moments later, Jason and co hid underneath a large root . Ahead of them was a towering creature . Much like the other creatures in the forest, it was a living tree . Unlike them, however, was that it was thirty feet tall .
