I traveled through time and space and became the Archbishop of Stormwind!

Akalitha helped Elwin up, and the three of them stumbled backward.

Elwin's staff dragged a crooked trail on the ground, each step appearing heavy and difficult.

Green Shadow covered the retreat, firing Moonfire spells at the pursuing zombies as he retreated.

“They won’t stop,” Alvin gasped. “We need to find cover—”

His words were interrupted by a strange sound coming from behind him.

That was the sound of plants growing—a rustling sound of life bursting forth, a sound they had never heard before in the desert.

The three of them turned around at the same time and saw a sight they would never forget.

The life seed that Green Shadow had thrown earlier was no longer a solitary thorn vine.

It grew, split, and spread wildly, as if some kind of life force that had been suppressed for thousands of years had completely erupted at this moment.

More and more zombies are getting entangled in the green plants that are emerging from the sand.

Thick vines coiled around their withered bodies like giant pythons, then incredibly lifted these monsters high into the air.

"By Cenarius..."

Green Shadow's voice was filled with awe.

The monsters bared their teeth and twisted their shriveled bodies forcefully.

A troll zombie twisted its shoulder joint at an incredible angle, making a piercing sound like bones shattering—even though it no longer had any real bones.

Another zombie tore at the vines with its remaining sharp teeth, black sap seeping from the bite marks, but the vines seemed to feel no pain, instead wrapping around them even tighter.

More zombies tried to hit the plants with their weapons.

A rusty scimitar struck the vine, leaving only a shallow wound, while tiny tendrils quickly grew around the wound, wrapping around the weapon and the arm that held it.

However, what truly made the three of them stop was not the plant's tenacity, but its speed of growth.

In just a few dozen seconds, the desert was covered with large areas of green.

The roots of the vines spread in all directions at a visible speed, penetrating deep into the sand.

The tiny rootlets, like a capillary network, hold the ever-flowing sand in place.

What was once a golden sea of ​​sand is now being transformed into a lush green oasis.

"This is impossible......"

Alvin murmured, forgetting even to run away, simply staring blankly at the miracle before him.

Green Shadow's expression was even more complicated—as a druid, she understood the power of nature better than anyone else, and was more aware of the abnormality of the scene before her.

Druidic magic can promote plant growth, but changes of this scale and speed are beyond the scope of any known nature magic.

"Stop running! Look!"

Akalitassa suddenly shouted.

Erwin looked in the direction she was pointing and almost burst out laughing.

The monsters that had just put them in dire straits were now being lifted high by vines and suspended more than ten meters in the air.

The plant's trunk had grown into the shape of an ancient tree, and its forked branches were covered with struggling undead creatures.

The desert winds still howled, but now they no longer whipped up sand and dust; instead, they swayed these new green inhabitants.

The zombies, suspended in the air, swayed in the wind like eerie wind chimes, colliding with each other and making dull thuds.

With each collision, sand particles would fall off the zombie's body.

These grains of sand no longer return to the earth to regenerate; instead, they are swept away by the gale and disappear into the darkness in the distance.

The troll zombie is shrinking so much that it is almost unrecognizable.

They are being disintegrated by the wind, completely and utterly disintegrated.

"Green Shadow, your group entanglement move is amazing!"

Alvin sincerely praised,

"I didn't expect you to not only have the Feral talent, but also the Balance talent! Only a legendary Druid could alter the terrain like that, right?"

Green Shadow squinted, a look of deep confusion on her face.

"What talent do you have...?"

Green Shadow responded softly, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

"While druids have their strengths and weaknesses, these basic spells are common to all. But this..."

She shook her head,

"Cenarius! How is this possible? I've never cast such a powerful Entangling spell before... No, this is too strange!"

As the three marveled at the sight, the oasis continued to expand.

The original vines have grown into a small forest, with various plants miraculously appearing at the same time: low shrubs have begun to adorn the ground, a kind of cactus-like plant with soft green leaves has emerged from the sand, and even a small patch of grassland is forming, with lush green grass that contrasts sharply with the surrounding desert.

“Plants are stabilizing the sand,”

Green Shadow crouched down and gently touched the newly sprouted grass blades with her fingers.

"Look, the root network has formed a stable substrate. This is... this is a process that takes decades of natural succession to complete."

In the air, the struggles of several troll zombies grew weaker and weaker.

They gradually turned into pure sand grains and were scattered by the strong wind.

"The zombie that could resurrect infinitely... was just taken down like that..."

Akalitha murmured, her gaze following the last grain of sand as it disappeared into the night sky.

Then, she turned to Green Shadow and sighed in awe, "This... I will never make Sister Green Shadow angry again!"

She imagined herself transforming into a giant dragon, but was instead tightly entangled by these vines.

Unable to fly, unable to land, they were trapped in mid-air.

Looking again at the thorns on the vines that were shimmering with a faint light, she couldn't help but shudder.

“Nonsense.” Green Shadow affectionately flicked Akalitha’s forehead with her finger, then turned to Elwin: “This is definitely not how I usually cast Entangling Entangle, Elwin. You’ve seen me cast this spell before.”

Erwin recalled the last time he saw Green Shadow use Entangling Strike.

Indeed, the vines that appeared back then were only one-tenth the thickness of the current ones, and their range was much smaller. Moreover, the spell's effect only lasted for about ten seconds.

Now, this oasis looks like a forest!

"Perhaps your power has grown stronger without you even realizing it."

Alvin said, but he himself didn't quite believe this explanation. The growth of power is gradual, not a sudden, leaping change.

He actually had another thought in his mind—perhaps the power of the Dragon Mother Land from Green Shadow's previous life had awakened.

"It shouldn't be..."

Green Shadow sighed and rubbed her temples, clearly pondering the same question.

“I can sense that something is wrong with the source of the spell. When I cast Entangling Strike, I’m usually channeling natural energy. But this time… it’s more like the natural energy is guiding me. It’s as if this desert has been ready to become an oasis all along, just waiting for a trigger point.”

She paused for a moment, then added, "And, can you feel it? The natural energy here... has an ancient quality. It's not like something newly born, but more like something that's being revived."

Akalitha stretched her injured arm and frowned. "I don't understand your magical theories. I just want to know, what do we do now? Should we keep running?"

The three looked around.

Behind us, the sandstorm continued to rage, but miraculously, there seemed to be an invisible barrier at the edge of the oasis. The sandstorm abruptly weakened when it reached the oasis's boundary, preventing the sand grains from encroaching on this newly grown green land.

No new zombies are being formed in the desert ahead—either the oasis has blocked their regeneration process, or the controllers have temporarily stopped their attacks.

"I don't think we need to run anymore..."

After careful observation, Erwin concluded that

"The sandstorms seem to be blocked by the oasis's vegetation. Look at those tall shrubs on the edge; the way they're arranged almost forms a windbreak."

Indeed, the vegetation along the edge of the oasis grows exceptionally densely, forming a natural barrier.

What's even more peculiar is that the arrangement of these plants is not completely random, but rather exhibits a certain regularity, as if it were carefully designed.

"Then let's wait in the oasis for a while."

Green Shadow made a decision.

"I need to regain some strength, and Akalitha's injuries also need to be treated. And..."

She looked around at the suddenly appearing green space.

"I want to investigate this place. This phenomenon is definitely not unusual."
