"Is there no other way?" Han Sen asked, frowning .

The people had been trapped there for a very long time, some for decades . If they really had no clue, Han Sen suspected he might not be able to find a solution anytime soon, either .

Wang Jiangang said, "It's not that there is no way; in fact, we believe there might be . We are just unsure whether or not we can pull it off . 'Tis a crying shame . "

"What do you mean?" Han Sen asked .

Wang Jiangang pointed at the Tree King and said, "At night, those Dark Haunted Bugs deliver nectar to the Tree King . They feed monsters that reside within it . The monsters inside seem to have a manner of control over the bugs and trees . We believe if we can kill whatever lurks inside that wooden fiend, we'll be free to leave . But those monsters are so very strong, and with the risk of being killed through a quick aging process by venturing close, we don't believe such a thing is possible . None of us here possess the necessary experience needed to pull such a thing off, and it's a crying shame . "

"What is the monster, exactly?" Han Sen asked, curiously .

"The Dark Haunted Tree King is different than the other trees . Those fruits to do not birth bugs; they release bat-like creatures . Sometimes they will consume the nectar the bugs deliver, with a speed unlike anything you've ever seen . You'd be hard-pressed catching those things on the move," Liu Fang chimed in .

Han Sen spoke with them for a while and then decided to stay a while and wait to see if he could catch a glimpse of what he might be dealing with past nightfall .

That night, Han Sen planned on leaving Zero behind and going alone . But Zero wasn't having it, and she insisted on following him .

Han Sen had no choice but to accept her company, and since he was watching from afar anyway, he didn't think her presence would cause too much trouble .

The luminous flowers bloomed and the Dark Haunted Bugs filled the space beneath the canopy . Even at night, the forest was illuminated due to the light they cast . Without hesitation, Han Sen and Zero ventured towards the area where the Tree King resided .

The people in the camp had seen far too many desperate people trap themselves in bids to escape, so they didn't bother trying to stop them . Liu Fang did remind them, however, that the radius of the Tree King's effect was one kilometer .

Han Sen nodded and proceeded to where the Dark Haunted Tree King was . By following the bugs, it didn't take them long to arrive .

The Dark Haunted Tree King was like a hill, dressed in luminous flowers . The center of each open fruit had a black bat hanging from it .

Endless streams of bugs came, to and fro, delivering all their nectar into the open, luminous flowers . When they filled up, the nectar would flow and drip into the mouths of the black bats and feed them .

After hearing what Liu Fang had to say, he also paid heed to his own lifeforce . Despite what he had been told, he didn't notice anything damaging occurring to it .

Liu Fang mentioned even the ordinary trees could make a person age and absorb one's lifeforce . And regardless of how little it was, it was something Han Sen should have been able to sense .

But still, Han Sen felt nothing . And this made him frown .

He looked at the distance between him and the tree, and noticed he was standing exactly one kilometer away from the Tree King . Han Sen made Zero wait there, while he approached .

But again, Zero wasn't willing to be left behind . When Han Sen took a step forward, so did she . Han Sen had no choice but to accept her insistence of accompanying him, and allow her to come . She was a much happier girl these days, but she was still as stubborn as ever .

With Zero around, though, he didn't dare get too close . As he approached carefully, he calculated his distance away from the tree .

Suddenly, Han Sen felt his body's energy start to drain . He quickly pulled her back with him about ten meters, and the leak of lifeforce he had felt stopped .

"That makes no sense!" Han Sen was shocked, unable to believe his lifeforce could leak out uncontrollably as it had .

While Han Sen was lost in thought, Zero did not stop . She continued to approach the Tree King, unheeding Han Sen's concern . He shouted out to her, "Zero, what are you doing? Get back here!"

Zero did not listen and did not turn around, she continued her stroll right into the danger zone . Han Sen moved forward to grab her back .

But then, Zero's black hair turned purple and two purple horns erupted from her forehead—she was becoming a shura .

Han Sen looked at Zero, unsure why Zero was so determined to walk towards the Tree King and why she was turning into a shura .

"Zero, what are you doing? Come back!" Han Sen shouted again .

Zero ignored Han Sen's request once more, and she continued walking forward mindlessly . Her purple hair dragged along the ground, and her purple horns were glowing brightly .

Han Sen summoned his devil-eye mask to take a look at Zero, and he noticed that her lifeforce was blazing like a firestorm . For some reason, it wasn't leaking at all .

"What is this?" Han Sen was shocked . Zero wasn't losing any of her lifeforce, and this was something not even he could do .

Han Sen decided not to pull her back and he stopped calling out, since she didn't appear to be in danger . Right now, he was transfixed, curious to see what Zero was going to do .

Her powers surprised Han Sen . It had been a while since he saw Zero become a shura, and her lifeforce was like that of a super creature . It was far stronger than what she was like when she was just a human .

The bats on the flower screamed, indicating they had detected her presence . They flew out of their flowers, down towards Zero .

There were many bats, at least three hundred . Judging from their lifeforces, they were each almost at the power of a super creature, too .

Their power was comparable to that of a human who had used the shura liquid .

Han Sen's worry returned, seeing Zero continue to walk forward with so many powerful bats swooping down towards her . But in the next second, that worry became shock .

When the bats had almost reached Zero, fangs bared, she reached her hand to grab the bat leading the charge . She tore it in half, dressing the ground with its black blood .

Han Sen had never seen Zero fight so brutally, even when she was a shura . And one by one, she continued doing what she did to the first bat . She tore each in half with lightning speed, and not a single bat was able to deliver the smallest speck of damage .

The way she fought was like an animal, and anyone who saw it would most certainly be afraid .
