Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 119 Sambo: Hi, we meet again.

The snowy plains of the North.

"Phew... We've finally arrived here." March 7th sighed as he looked at the endless snowfields around him.

"Thanks to Miss Silva for helping us persuade Iron Guard and Jepard."

"Yes, I've finally arrived, but it's a bit cold here." Seele hugged her arms tightly, feeling the biting cold wind.

Seele was, after all, just an ordinary person, and naturally, she couldn't withstand the biting cold wind in the lower city.

"Right, right? You feel cold too, don't you?!"

March 7th immediately sidled up to Seele, as if she had found a kindred spirit.

That's normal. Xing and Eve are abnormal; they don't feel cold at all.

Although I have the blessing of pioneering spirit, it is extremely small, and I still cannot withstand the biting cold wind.

Xing moved her whole body in confusion. "Are you cold?"

Seele looked at Xing in shock.

March 7th, standing to the side, was already used to it.

“It’s normal, don’t worry about her, she’s different from us,” March 7th said to Seele.

"Different?" Seele looked puzzled. "How are they different?"

"That's right, to put it simply, this guy has a star core inside him."

On March 7th, he casually remarked something and then followed Xing's footsteps to continue forward.

"Star Core???" Seele looked completely bewildered, wondering if she had misheard.

Just as she was about to ask for clarification, an exclamation came from March 7th.

"What is this? It's terrifying!!"

Seele didn't have time to hurry and rushed over immediately.

In front of March 7th, ice sculptures of various shapes and postures stand.

Their poses were all strange and varied, but all their movements conveyed one emotion: fear.

"Hmm...it's like iced tea that's been frozen in a refrigerator." Xing stood to the side, deep in thought.

"Hey! It looks like an insect trapped in amber!" March 7th covered his face, speechless.

How come this guy always manages to get himself into some kind of trouble?

Sigh, Eve, when are you coming back? Taking care of the child alone is so tiring!

"What are all these?" Seele asked, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at the objects in the ice sculpture.

“What’s frozen inside should be the antimatter legion that invaded this world back then,” March 7 explained.

"However, they probably didn't expect to be swallowed up by the cold wave," March 7th said, shaking his head helplessly.

The destroyer will eventually be destroyed.

"I see." Seele nodded.

"However, I'm curious if these ice cubes here are still alive?"

March 7th pondered for a moment, "I don't know, they might be alive or dead, but the 'empty soldiers' are still very tenacious."

"In the ice..." Xing suddenly realized something.

"I know what this guy's name is!" A lightbulb suddenly appeared above Xing's head.

"What's your name?" March 7th and Seele asked at the same time.

“Let’s call it July 3rd!!” Xing gave a thumbs up.

March 7th: Um........(￣_￣|||)

Seele: (⊙o⊙)?

"Alright, how can you still be in the mood for jokes at a time like this!" March 7th was completely speechless.

Seele was completely bewildered and lost.

What are those two talking about?

July 3rd? Could it be that the one in the ice is the sister born on March 7th?

"Alright, let's go."

March 7th said helplessly, then stepped onto the stairs in front of him.

Star and Seele followed closely behind.

After walking for a short while, a huge mechanical object came into view.

"What is this? It's completely different from those rigid city walls and ruins." March 7th looked at this behemoth with great curiosity.

"This... must be the ruins left by the city builders." Seele gazed at the colossal structure, her heart filled with awe.

Although the High Warden has sealed off the Upper and Lower City, the education system in the Lower City still holds the Builders in high esteem.

"Hmm... I feel like this looks like a hand," Xing commented again.

"You know what, it really does look alike." March 7th rarely agreed with Xing's statement.

"Wait, listen up ahead..." Seele immediately shushed them, as if she had discovered something.

March 7th and Xing also perked up their ears, carefully capturing the slightest sounds in their environment.

“I think I heard…talking?” March 7th said.

"That's right, it's Bronya!" Seele exclaimed excitedly, but also anxiously.

She immediately rushed forward.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that he couldn't dissuade her, he and Xingye hurried there.

Soon, they arrived at a huge platform.

Standing right in the center of the platform were Bronya and Cocolia.

Bronya covered her head, seemingly in pain, and cried out, "...No...don't..."

Cocolia held Bronya's hand, restraining her. "Don't resist, Bronya—accept our shared will!"

"No...this...is not what I want..."

“Look at the future they promised, Bronya! A world without poverty, cold, and suffering; a world where people no longer have to beg for survival like prisoners; a world we can protect forever.”

"For seven hundred years, we have tried and fought, believing that the light of humanity would guide us toward revival. And what was the result? We were utterly defeated!"

Why is it that when faced with an irresistible force, our first instinct is always to resist and plug our ears, rather than listen to its demands?

"That is the indelible folly and cowardice entrenched deep within human nature. Cast them aside, break free of the shackles binding you! The Star Core will lead humanity towards evolution, it will..."

Seeing Bronya about to be persuaded by Cocolia, Seele stepped forward.

The scythe, following the phantom, hurtled straight towards Cocolia.

"Enough with the brainwashing, witch!"

"Huh?" Cocolia turned around abruptly and immediately released Bronya's hand.

"Who are you? From the lower city?" Cocolia's eyes were filled with rage.

She no longer has time to deal with emergencies.

After all, the summoning of the Star Core was extremely urgent.

Bronya stared blankly at Seele who had rushed over: "...Seele?"

"Don't worry, Bronya, we're here," Seele said gently, standing beside Bronya.

At this moment, March 7th and Xing also rushed over immediately.

Cocolia saw the people behind her and said disdainfully, "I thought you had already been swallowed up by the snowstorm."

"Dream on! We won't fall until we defeat you!" Seele retorted forcefully.

Just then, Hoshi shouted loudly, "Cocolia, I've missed you so much!"

Cocolia:.........

Bronya:.........

Seele:............

March 7th:.........

Sure enough, these were words she could say.

Cocolia was a little embarrassed and coughed a few times. "Ahem, outsiders, your fate is already sealed."

"It's no use saying nice things now."

"Heh, I think your fate is already sealed." Seele clenched her fist.

She looked at Bronya and said, "Bronya! I don't know what happened between you two. Even if you explained it to me right now, I probably wouldn't understand any of that cryptic stuff. But there are two things I know very well..."

"First, these guys went through all sorts of hardships to get here, all for the sake of sealing that thing called the 'Star Core.'"

"Secondly, do you remember what I said? If anything happens to you, I will definitely come to save you."

"So, do you understand? Even if you've been brainwashed by those women and have completely forgotten our agreement—I'm still going to knock you out and take you back!"

Bronya looked at Seele's serious face and nodded firmly.

“I know, Seele.”

"I will not be seduced by her or by the star core."

"Our ancestors built this city with their own hands, striving to continue civilization amidst the swaying wind and snow. Even if this world is destined to fall apart, the path to its end should be paved by humankind itself."

"Instead of leaving our fate to this scourge!"

Bronya raised her rifle and aimed it at the distant star core.

"Bronya, you! You're so stubborn..." Cocolia was instantly enraged.

The sound of the star core grew louder and louder in her ears, making her increasingly angry.

"There's no time, Cocolia."

"They...are coming soon."

"We have to make a choice."

"A new world awaits us, Cocolia."

"I know!!" Cocolia shouted, clutching her head.

The power of the star core is gradually gathering towards her.

"Prepare for battle!" On March 7th, he took out his bow and arrows, ready for battle.

The others were also prepared.

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a major battle, a tense standoff ensued.

Suddenly a figure flew in from the horizon and landed right in the middle of the two sides, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

"Cough cough... What's going on? Is this some kind of backup plan that guy left behind?" Seele asked, covering her nose.

“I don’t know, but we need to be prepared for any crisis.” Bronya remained vigilant, her rifle never lowered.

As the smoke cleared, a familiar figure came into view.

Sambo, bound by vines, stood upside down in the center of the field, his face filled with an awkward smile, waving with only one movable hand.

"Hi, it's me again..."
