Ryder and his team traveled throughout the day towards the depths of the Valley of Wandering Souls. Ryder had recovered his Mana from this, and he had again started hunting the beasts as much as he could.
His experience counter kept rising the further they went, but his Mana kept decreasing faster than it was restoring.
The number of beasts they were facing was more now. As they were almost at the edge of the outer region of the Valley of Wandering Souls, beasts were more powerful, and their numbers were more.
"That's the 8th golden tree. We should be getting near the safe zone soon. It took longer than I expected," Ryder muttered as he noticed a golden tree to his left.
In the Book of the Ancient Hobbit, he had read about the experience of the Ancient Hobbit that explored this region. In the book, he learned that the 9th golden tree would be right between the border of the outer region and the Inner Region.
