"No!"

Seeing the long arrow fly out, Anna, in the replica, couldn’t help but scream.

Hearing this sound, Gu Xi realized that Anna was rushing over with the Britain army.

At the same time, Gu Xi understood why Anna called out like that in the replica.

The tree root Spore Cultist Charlie relied on was actually the root of the apple tree above.

This apple tree is the foundation of Britain, the treasure of Britain, it cannot be destroyed like this.

Anna wanted to kill Spore Cultist Charlie, but she preferred to lure him down for a fight.

If possible, avoid harming the tree root.

But Gu Xi’s attack clearly treated the tree root as part of the target.

Previously, when Gu Xi fought the Celestial Destiny Tree Man, he burned about a quarter of the canopy.

Plus, the part influenced by the Great Monarch’s mysterious power, the apple tree itself was already heavily damaged.

If the tree root faced any more problems, this apple tree would be done for.

However, they arrived a step too late. As they came over, the skeleton shooter shot out the arrow.

For them, there was no longer any chance.

If it were other physical attacks, they could still call people back, and even a charge could be stopped.

But the arrows that were shot could not be called back.

All the arrows were lodged in the tree roots on the ceiling.

As the arrows embedded themselves at that moment, Gu Xi and the others heard Spore Cultist Charlie let out a great shout, falling out from the tree root.

At this moment, a voice resounded beside Anna.

"Quick, save the tree."

Gu Xi turned around and saw a brown-haired man full of the aura of death directing Anna.

Gu Xi was not surprised at this man.

The British Royal Family had the possibility of being transformed into undead upon death.

This man, though not wearing the King’s Robe, clearly held a noble rank.

But what surprised Gu Xi was that the man only had a corpse, his soul seemed to have gone elsewhere.

Simultaneously, Gu Xi noticed a discrepancy; he was suppressing his own power.

Gu Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.

This replica’s ceiling is Level 10; those above a certain level get suppressed.

This man was clearly a Level 20 expert.

Gu Xi was a bit puzzled, could a Level 20 corpse still count as Level 20?

Before Gu Xi could speak, Anna, with others’ help, quickly jumped up and climbed along the tree root.

After glancing at Anna, Gu Xi no longer paid any attention there; all his focus was on Spore Cultist Charlie who was crashing down from the tree root.

He had already severed his connection with the tree root, crashing heavily onto the ground from above.

Though he was dead, strangely, he still had the physical strength to crawl forward and speak a few words.

Gu Xi thought for a moment; maybe this was the Tail King’s final cutscene.

But this was far better than him suddenly activating his self-sacrifice ability.

Gu Xi didn’t advance a step, merely watched from afar.

By then, Spore Cultist Charlie had lifted his head.

"You’re too late. I’ve already injected everything into the apple tree, and now the apple tree is mutated.

Moreover..."

Spore Cultist Charlie pointed a finger towards Gu Xi as he spoke, "Moreover, he has killed quite a number of apple tree seeds of mine.

Now it’s been five or six rounds, and all the apple tree seeds have mutated.

Their deaths are just the beginning of a sacrifice; this apple tree is done for, you can’t save it."

Standing on the Soul Summoning Tower, Gu Xi listened to this, feeling speechless; how did this even pin on him?

If he hadn’t entered, would the apple tree still be doomed?

Gu Xi hadn’t finished muttering, when that brown-haired man turned his gaze towards him with lifeless, fish-like eyes.

Gu Xi’s eyes lit up, realizing it was fine; a gleam flashed above him.

An undead, that means a friend.

Sure enough, the brown-haired man ignored Spore Cultist Charlie’s words and raised his hand, causing Charlie to float as if he had lost gravity.

Charlie tried to struggle, but his hands seemed uncontrollable, sticking tightly to his sides.

This situation astonished Gu Xi.

What kind of ability was this?

Telekinesis?

Before Gu Xi could react, Charlie was repelled back into the ceiling.

Then the man raised his hand again, the tree roots swiftly coiled down, forcibly devouring Charlie.

"Knight, you..."

The man hadn’t stopped his actions when the Grand Knight beside him asked with a face full of confusion.

"The apple tree needs nourishment; this is the finest nourishment."

"But..."

"No buts," the man said calmly, "I’ve been guarding this apple tree, I decide everything beneath it."

Seeing the scene before him, Gu Xi understood that this was indeed a cutscene.

It appeared Spore Cultist Charlie was truly dead now.

Gu Xi then breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand to his men, signaling for them to retreat to the city gate.

Once the cutscene was over, Gu Xi planned to take his gains this time and leave the replica, planning to restart it for another try.

However, Gu Xi never expected that Anna in this replica had noticeably worse temperament than Eldest Princess Anna.

Upon hearing the man’s words, Anna, already climbing up the tree root, jumped higher, reaching out to grab Charlie before he could integrate into the tree root.

With a swift action, she forced Charlie down.

"No, everything in Westminster Cathedral is under my command now. Knight, pull out all the arrows above to rescue the apple tree."

After Anna finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi wasn’t a Spirit Mage; how could he know what she intended with that glare?

Only, the flung-down Charlie began to laugh at that moment.

Gu Xi immediately felt something was wrong.

"Damn it!"

Gu Xi shouted at once, "Everyone get out of the way!"

While shouting, Gu Xi pointed a finger in Charlie’s direction.

"Deep Freeze!"

In a moment, Charlie’s body was encased in ice, preventing anyone from attacking him and stopping him from harming others.

Having done this, Gu Xi glared at Anna, raising his Illusion Magic Wand.

"Full retreat!"

At Gu Xi’s command, everyone rapidly evacuated through the city gates.

The man referred to as Knight also looked at Gu Xi with an unpleasant expression.

"Why not let me handle this?"
