Inside her backpack, the item description from the Survival Platform appeared before Anjali’s eyes.

Although it wasn’t as detailed as the system analysis Vikram had, it was pretty close.

"Toxin Cleansing orb: Purple, A deep purple orb that, despite its somewhat evil appearance, possesses the effect of dispelling toxins from the body."

"Wow!"

"This orb actually has the ability to cleanse toxins!"

"Yes," Divya also nodded.

"Wow! Then the black mist’s toxicity won’t be able to harm us at all, will it?" Gently moving the hand from her mouth, Anjali excitedly whispered, a look of excitement on her face.

Although she had never been affected by the black mist’s toxicity, that didn’t stop her from being happy about it.

"This... I’m not sure either." The Survival Platform’s description was too vague. While the orb’s toxin-cleansing effect was significant, they couldn’t confirm if it was a one-time use item.

The two immediately looked at Vikram, who was sitting calmly to the side.

Noticing their gazes, Vikram nodded.

[Toxin cleansing orb: Purple, a deep purple orb that possesses the effect of dispelling toxins from the body. Not a one-time use item. Usage: Simply keep the orb near you to slowly remove toxins from your body. Effective radius: 3 square meters.]

This was the description given by the system in Vikram’s view.

Don’t let his calm expression fool you; when he first saw the orb’s function, his heart was in turmoil.

The orb’s effect was too great!

The toxin-cleansing ability alone was enough to be used as a life-saving trump card, not to mention that it wasn’t a one-time use item.

The effectiveness of the toxin cleansing was still unknown, but according to the system’s description, since it didn’t specify, it meant the orb could work on any type of toxin!

Although it didn’t benefit him mostly, since his territory was already superior to the orbs.

And even going outside, he has a Healer and Light Mage.

But then, it was priceless treasure for the others and also him, when Healer and Light Mage were not with him.

Vikram was certain that if other Survivors found out about this item’s function, they would definitely fight tooth and nail to get their hands on it.

"It’s just a pity the range is a bit small," he sighed softly. In his opinion, if the toxin-cleansing range were large enough, he could use this item to turn any Shelter into an environment completely immune to toxins.

He relayed the orb’s description to Divya and Anjali, and their expressions froze.

Staring at the orb in their hands, their eyes showed surprise.

"Holy cow, this thing passively cleanses toxins! So if we keep it with us, won’t we be able to walk sideways through the black mist?"

"Finally, I won’t have to stay indoors all the time where I can’t see the sun. I’m practically molding." Anjali said, reaching out to touch the orb, as if believing this would immediately clear the toxins from her body.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Even if you go out, the black mist is still there. Where would the sun be for you to bask in?" Divya said, looking at the fantasizing Anjali with exasperation.

"And even without the orb, the Healer and Light Mage were not saving your asses," Sophia flicked on Anjali’s head.

"How dare you to flick me," Anjali shouted and grabbed the breast of Sophia.

"Ouch," Sophia moaned with a sudden attack.

While Vikram looked at the four naked figures, and eight rabbits, he lost control of himself.

Following the four girls started moaning again, till he was not satisfied.

—

While Vikram was busy all night enjoying the pleasures of married life with his wives.

Outside the Territory, thunder roared and lightning continuously struck the ground.

If it had been before the Treehouse upgrade, Vikram would have noticed it immediately.

However, this time, due to the Treehouse evolving to an Ultimate level, not even the slightest bit of noise reached him.

But it was not the same for the people of Territory 2.

---

In the morning, Vikram decided to visit a factory marked on the map he had obtained from the Brown Wood Shelter.

Although he already possessed many resources, his plans had become much bigger.

After thinking about it the previous night, he had already decided to create Territory 3.

For that, he would require a large amount of additional resources.

At the same time, he decided to plant Spikevines, Thornvines, Bloodvines, and Demonvines near the Territory 2 Gate so that no zombies would dare approach it again.

He also planned to deploy three Vine Sniper Towers near the Territory 2 Gate.

And not only that.

Today, the five new Mage Sprouts had also fully grown within his Territory.

He was quite curious about what types of new plants they had evolved into.

Without hesitation, he got dressed and first went to check on the five new Mage Sprouts.

Before even reaching the mages, Vikram noticed that the five previously plain one-floor Treehouses had undergone their own transformations.

Yesterday, they looked almost identical, simple wooden structures without any distinguishing features.

Now, however, each Treehouse has developed unique characteristics.

The first Treehouse was surrounded by countless saplings, flowering plants, and young trees. Its bark carried faint green patterns resembling roots spreading across fertile soil.

The second Treehouse appeared much lighter than the others. Wind continuously circled around it, causing leaves and grass nearby to sway gently despite the absence of any natural breeze.

The third Treehouse possessed a metallic appearance. Dark silver veins ran across its bark, while portions of the structure looked almost as if wood and metal had naturally fused together.

The fourth Treehouse looked the strangest. The surrounding space appeared slightly distorted. Occasionally, tiny ripples would appear around the structure before vanishing again.

As for the fifth Treehouse, the moment Vikram looked at it, he felt a strange sensation.

The Treehouse itself appeared completely normal. However, he feels, that someone was silently watching him.

The surrounding area was unusually quiet.

At the same time, faint silver-white lines resembling flowing spiritual energy could occasionally be seen disappearing into the Treehouse walls.

Seeing these changes, Vikram immediately understood.

The five new Mage Sprouts had successfully grown.

And judging from the transformations of their respective Treehouses, their abilities were likely far more special than he had initially expected.

Just as that thought appeared in his mind, five small figures slowly emerged from their Treehouses one after another.

The first figure stepped out from the Treehouse covered in greenery.

Its body was wrapped in dark-green and brown leaf armor resembling ancient forest bark. Several tiny vines moved gently around its shoulders and arms as if they were alive. A cloak formed entirely from overlapping leaves hung behind its back, while a small young tree grew from the top of its head. Its bright emerald eyes were filled with vitality, and wherever it stepped, tiny blades of grass and small flowers quietly emerged from the ground.

The second figure walked out shortly afterward.

Its appearance was much lighter and more elegant. Pale-white and light-cyan leaves formed its clothing, giving it an almost weightless appearance. Several translucent feathers floated around its body without ever touching the ground. Its cloak constantly fluttered despite there being no wind, while faint streams of air occasionally swirled around its hands. The leaves growing from its helmet stretched outward like a pair of delicate wings, and its sky-blue eyes seemed as clear as the open heavens.

The third figure appeared next.

Compared to the others, this one looked far sturdier. Dark silver-gray armor covered its body, resembling a fusion between bark and metal. Golden and silver patterns spread throughout its armor like veins. The leaves attached to its shoulders and arms looked less like foliage and more like sharpened metallic blades. Its body was noticeably bulkier than the other mages, and every step produced a faint metallic sound. Its silver eyes quietly observed its surroundings with the calmness of a veteran guardian.

The fourth figure emerged from the Treehouse surrounded by distorted space.

Dark-purple and deep-blue leaves formed its armor, while countless tiny star-like lights glimmered across its surface. The cloak behind it resembled a miniature night sky filled with distant stars. The space around its body occasionally rippled like water before returning to normal. Crystal-like leaves extended from its head like wings woven from starlight. Its beautiful violet eyes contained a mysterious glow, and its figure sometimes appeared slightly blurred, as though it existed between multiple locations simultaneously.

Finally, the last figure stepped out.

Its body was covered in elegant silver-white leaf armor that seemed to emit a faint glow. Soft streams of spiritual light drifted around it like mist. Several translucent butterflies occasionally appeared nearby before fading into nothingness moments later. The crystal-like leaves growing from its helmet resembled silver petals blooming under moonlight. Its silver-gold eyes were calm and tranquil, yet looking at them for too long created an inexplicable feeling, as though the figure was both standing there and somewhere far away at the same time.

The five figures silently gathered before Vikram.

Although they were all Mage Sprouts, each one gave off a completely different aura.

One felt like a walking forest.

One felt like the sky itself.

One resembled an unbreakable fortress.

One seemed connected to the stars.

And the last carried an indescribable spiritual presence.

Looking at them, even Vikram couldn’t help but feel curious about what abilities these five new mages possessed.

Vikram then looked at their details.

Looking at the Wood Mage Sprout’s details, Vikram couldn’t describe just how happy he was.

He had been thinking about upgrading Territory 2 and developing Territory 3.

However, that would require him to organize the territories and handle various purification-related tasks, since the territory 3 and 2 didn’t have the Treehouse buffs.

Overall, there was still a lot of work that needed to be done.

But after looking at the Wood Mage Sprout and its functions, everything suddenly seemed much easier. Although the few special abilities are locked, still it didn’t make him worry.

Especially its ability to make land fertile. Next, he looked at the Air Mage Sprout’s details.
