“I’m not sure, either,” Yu Shishi had never done anything like this.

“Will there be some kind of trap?” Zhang Xiaohou was being extra careful.

After all, they were going up against an insanely high-level demon tree. It should not be that easy to pluck the Sacred Linden Leaves. What if something like the Parasitic Leaf Porcupines showed up again?…

“What the heck are you waiting for? Hurry up and grab the Sacred Linden Leaves. We can’t hold on for much longer!” Mo Fan’s angry roar came from below.

Mo Fan was lost for words. The three were already standing in front of the Sacred Linden Leaves. Shouldn’t they pluck the leaves first before worrying about what was going to happen next? The Devil Tree Spikes were still stabbing at the others, while they only had to worry about some disgusting worms!

“Oh, right,” Zhang Xiaohou looked down and noticed Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Li Dexin, and the rest of the group were still suffering the wrath of the Giant Purple Linden.

Zhang Xiaohou jumped forward and hesitated for a moment. He put on a pair of armored gloves made of some unique material before plucking the Sacred Linden Leaves.

The lines on the Sacred Linden Leaves were golden, different from the ordinary leaves on the tree. Zhang Xiaohou noticed a tiny glow flowing along the lines, as if the Sacred Linden Leaves were transferring something to the branches of the Giant Purple Linden!

However, the Sacred Linden Leaves did not even budge even after Zhang Xiaohou started pulling them with all his strength. The special branches connected to them were glowing, transferring energy to the rest of the branches. The branches that had received the energy became strong and flexible. They were the Devil Tree Spikes that were attacking Mo Fan and the others!

“I can’t pull them off!” Zhang Xiaohou yelled.

“Let me try!” Bai Hongfei rolled up his sleeves.

He pulled a Sacred Linden Leaf with great strength, but it remained in the same spot.

“What should we do now? It seems like the leaves are enchanted!”

Bai Hongfei and Zhang Xiaohou had experienced it first-hand. It was impossible to pluck the Sacred Linden Leaves!

Bai Hongfei even tried using a Fire Spell to burn the branch connected to the Sacred Linden Leaves, but the glowing branches were impenetrable, just like the Sacred Linden Leaves.

“Step aside,” Yu Shishi said.

“You won’t be able to pluck it either,” Bai Hongfei said.

“Go, eat it!” Yu Shishi boldly placed the Moon Moth Silkworm on a Sacred Linden Leaf.

The silkworm happily wriggled onto the Sacred Linden Leaf and took a bite without any hesitation.

Zhang Xiaohou expected to see the silkworm break her teeth, but he was surprised to see a tiny hole appear on the Sacred Linden Leaf.

The silkworm ate the Sacred Linden Leaf like a little harvester, even quicker than she was eating a normal leaf. In less than half a minute, she had already moved to the next Sacred Linden Leaf after she was done with the first one.

Zhang Xiaohou and Bai Hongfei exchanged glances with one another.

That’s right, they were going to feed the Sacred Linden Leaves to the Moon Moth Silkworm anyway! They could just let her feed on the Sacred Linden Leaves instead of plucking them off!

The Giant Purple Linden uttered a painful and enraged cry. It seemed to have noticed the leaves at its core were being eaten by a tiny creature!

The cry was extremely unpleasant. It began to shake its enormous body, as if it was trying to shake off the Moon Moth Silkworm.

The problem was, despite the lofty appearance of the Giant Purple Linden, there was nothing it could do against a tiny creature like the Moon Moth Silkworm without its Devil Tree Spikes. The Moon Moth Silkworm could care less if the tree was shaking its head vigorously, and showed no mercy when eating the Sacred Linden Leaves. She was totally indulging in them, like a little harvester going out of control!

The Moon Moth Silkworm ate the leaves at a remarkable pace, even though it did not make any sense that her tiny body could contain the huge Sacred Linden Leaves. She began to emit a sacred glow as she continued to feast on the Sacred Linden Leaves. The light was strong enough to encapsulate her entire body.

Yu Shishi was familiar with that glow, staring at the Moon Moth Silkworm passionately. When the little silkworm devoured the last Sacred Linden Leaf, she turned into a sacred orb of light, its brilliance shining down from the top of the Giant Purple Linden!

The Giant Purple Linden seemed to have finally realized the creature eating its leaves was the Moon Moth Phoenix in her silkworm phase. It let out a ghastly cry, as if it was trying to use everything it had to kill the Moon Moth Silkworm.

The Moon Moth Silkworm was no longer the same. The orb of light was a cocoon full of energy, inside of which the silkworm was evolving rapidly!

A pair of wings slowly spread out from inside the light cocoon. The silkworm was tiny at first, but the shining wings were huge. The wings soon loomed over Zhang Xiaohou, Bai Hongfei, and Yu Shishi, and they were only the first pair!

When the second pair of wings took shape, it immediately attracted the attention of the winged beasts. After all, the Moon Moth Phoenix was a Totem Beast, the strongest ancient species in history. She used to have a hallowed status among the winged beasts of the Qinling Mountains, and now, the creature that had been gone for many years had returned to Mount Baiba. How could the winged beasts that had been around for hundreds, or even thousands of years not be shocked?

The brilliant light shrank and turned into tiny points of light on the Moon Moth Phoenix’s tail before dissipating.

Zhang Xiaohou and Bai Hongfei froze in place. They had witnessed the little silkworm’s transformation into her noble and sacred adult form. The process was indeed fascinating. It was difficult to imagine such a unique creature existed in nature. Their lifespan might be short, but their transformation was as dazzling as the cycle of birth!

The Little Moon Moth Phoenix hovered above the branches, emitting a gentle light. Her demeanor was completely different from the unveiled Giant Purple Linden, bearing a warm, gentle aura. Perhaps she was the real protector of nature, as her brilliance alone was enough to purify all murderous intent exposed to it.

The Giant Purple Linden was still uttering unpleasant cries. It was struggling to accept the fact that the Moon Moth Phoenix it had almost killed had entered the next cycle of life and evolved successfully with the energy of its own leaves!

The Sacred Linden Leaves contained the energy that the Giant Purple Linden had accumulated over thousands of years. Their energy allowed it to keep bearing fruits of fresh blood so it could become the ruler of all.

But now, the Moon Moth Phoenix had taken everything from it!

The Little Moon Moth Phoenix flew to the middle section of the Giant Purple Linden, flying around the trunk as fragments of her previous life’s memory surged into her mind.

Even though she was unable to recall the details and appearance of her previous guardian, the emotions she inherited were deeply imprinted on her soul, inerasable even when she had entered the next cycle of life!
