Chapter 852. The Gourd Moves
"Something evil must be at work, to transform the lands like so. The Jade-Gold Tree must be birthing something most peculiar," Wang Yuhang said, as he observed the downpour of blood-like rain.
Han Sen's heart was filled with worry, acknowledging the spookiness of the scene. He understood something foul was at work, too.
"Maybe I shouldn't have brought Little Uncle here with me." Han Sen was also overcome with regret. Still, he knew that despite how unfortunate Wang Yuhang could be, even he could not cause something like this. It very-well could have been the work of the Jade-Gold Tree.
The next day, the blood rain stopped and the clouds dispersed. The horrific bloody scene portrayed the night before had come and gone, and it was as if the blood water had been willfully absorbed by the mountain itself. The blood rain that had soaked the earth of that place had also made the lands teem with life; plants were abundant once more, growing to maturity over the course of a single night. The black and charred landscape was now vibrant and green once again.
Han Sen and Wang Yuhang both observed the Jade-Gold Tree with a perplexed look, for they had just been delivered a shock. After the blood rain stopped, the tree had switched a metric and grown three meters tall. The seven golden chest fruits were each the size of an average shoebox, and they were each illuminated with a strong golden light.
Between the jade and gold colors, a purple mist developed. The tree did not look like any ordinary tree they had seen before. It seemed holy.
"Moment, do you really not know anything about this Jade-Gold Tree?" Han Sen did not believe something so strange could grow there for no apparent reason.
Moment Queen shook her head and replied, "If you believe this tree's existence has something to do with me, you are wrong. And for it to be here like so, I truly cannot explain the reason why."
Han Sen eyed Moment Queen for some time. Then, he frowned and said, "Well, the chests have yet to mature, and we've just had a spout of weird events. Is that a good sign or a bad one? Do you think we should remain here, guarding this place?"
