Bai Yi didn’t engage in much small talk with Iron Blood.
After hinting at the combat power she was prepared to bring out and mentioning the existence of the Floating Island, Iron Blood contentedly returned to the small building and took out his map.
Iron Blood said he could give it away directly, as he could redraw it from memory.
But when it comes to memory, the network is faster.
Directly "copying" a version to the network is much more reliable than Iron Blood’s memory, leaving this unique map with Iron Blood.
Of course, a more important reason is that as Tree-man Bai Yi, she had no way to "normally" take it with her.
She could explain speaking to him through the Tree-man across the distance as a product of her superpower.
However, she couldn’t explain why the Tree-man disappeared with the map and its consciousness after taking the map up the mountain.
On the other hand, Bai Yi’s main body did not forget today’s to-do list; she found her Pope and Cardinal and handed over the task of writing a new Holy Scripture and establishing a complete ritual process to them.
Although Bai Yi didn’t care about rituals and prayers,
even if she didn’t set them up actively, the witches would eventually develop corresponding customs on their own.
It could be mentioned by a witch suddenly, or it could be established through adaptation to local conditions and by convention.
To avoid eventually forming some bizarre rituals that she would feel uncomfortable altering, as well as to have some convenience and peace later on,
it was better to settle this matter ahead of time.
After emphasizing some premises several times with the two of them and making revisions again and again, they finally produced a temporary Holy Scripture by the end of the day.
Although it needed detailed revisions before being formally issued, it now had a main body to it.
Going back to the tree hole to sleep, the next day Bai Yi returned to her correct research track, starting the enhancement process for the Tree-man.
Meanwhile, the witches deployed to the Battle Zone by Bai Yi had already set off from the territory.
Led by Snake Mother Rand, the number of witches heading to the Battle Zone this time was not many.
Compared to the original estimate of ten thousand witches, it had decreased by nearly ninety percent, but the quality was far stronger than initially calculated.
Aside from Rand herself, there were other witches that reached the 5th-tier Hero Unit level heading to the Battle Zone.
For instance, the Monkey Witch Guan Sheng, who had successfully adapted to her new body through her own efforts, and Ju, the orthodox Cat Witch who whimsically decided to join the fray.
The other few were those 5th-tier Beast Kings from the sea.
As for those 6th-tier Beast King Witches, this Battle Zone did not require that level of Combat Power.
In fact, even for the naval Battle Zones, this kind of Combat Power was somewhat excessive.
But if left unused, that would be too much of a waste.
So, after much contemplation, Bai Sheng decided to have the cats lead them as a strike team to wreak havoc in other Battle Zones.
Since the day when several Beast Kings transformed into witches under the surveillance of the soul slice, they spent a lot of time getting used to their completely new bodies.
To marine creatures, limbs were a novelty.
With the help of Hatti’s Spiritual Suggestion, they caught up with the Monkey King’s progress and became familiar with the witch bodies alongside the other 5th-tier Beast Kings.
Like that sea serpent, being of the same kind, naturally had a snake tail like Snake Mother behind her.
The only difference lay in the sharp horn on her head, which was her true superpower organ.
Both the whale and the shark left a fish tail structure behind, much like the octopus left several tentacles behind, serving to contain their original superpowers.
Moreover, the accident that happened during the witches’ transformation that day, promptly addressed by Bai Yi, also brought advantages to them.
The accident originated from their originally gigantic bodies.
After turning into witches, the gigantic body couldn’t compress and had to leave most of the body behind.
Most of the thinking organs remained in their original form.
This led both bodies to claim the soul under the judgment of the soul, and the new and old bodies began to fight over the possession of the soul.
Both bodies had the same mind.
They reached a strange state similar to the soul mirror imagery she had researched before.
But just like the soul mirrors, of the two souls only one could be the main body, the other had to give up and fall dormant.
Having understood the situation, Bai Yi at that time chose not to give up either body.
If one soul wasn’t enough to split, then have two!
The emergence of the soul slice turned their original bodies into a peculiar Avatar state, which could even fight simultaneously if necessary.
Directly giving the enemy a double surprise!
More importantly, this unique situation once again provided excellent material for Bai Yi’s soul research.
It also gave her more ideas for the future new soldier types.
Had it not been for this discovery, Bai Yi would not have temporarily overlooked Hong Chao that day.
Compared to an uncertain Protagonist, ongoing soul research was more important.
After all, the former was just Bai Yi’s personal interest and curiosity, while the latter represented her own strength.
Now, possessing such strength, they were quite inflated and ready to do something big after departing, seeking acknowledgment from Bai Yi.
And because of their strength, Bai Yi wasn’t worried about them.
Elsewhere, Rand, riding on the Floating Island, had already led her one thousand witches to the front of the regional gate, casting a huge Shadow over the camp.
Such an evident anomaly, even with Iron Blood giving advance notice, knowing it belonged to Fan Mao’s Combat Units, still left many Low-level Lords who deliberately returned to witness firsthand shocked and speechless.
