Ace decides to try to find any of the others Forest Guardians after hearing the story of the cheif's journey of this dungeon.
Ace heads East to see what there is in that direction.
He heads east after probably an hour he finds a giant tree bigger than the rest with a thin staircase winding up it. The staircase is made of thick mushrooms, vines and leaves.
Ace slowly climbs up the tree wielding his sword and shield. After a few hours of climbing he reaches the top where 4 giant towering crystals circle around a platform where a small seed looking item. He goes towards it as he feels an intense force pushing them away. Feels like waking through a water current.
He pushes through the force reaching for the item. After about 10 minutes of pushing through the force he makes it to the item. Upon touching it the force disappears allowing Ace to rest. He uses his aura to identify the item.

Ace takes the seed and puts it away. Happy with the treasure he picked up and makes the long treck back down the tree. He continues foward around 5 hours he continued till the sun sets and Ace sets up a small base to rest around.
He lights a fire and cooks some of the food he brought along with him. He eats and takes one last look into the dark forest as suddenly a Tree Spider jumps out of its lurking spot. Ace quickly drawing his sword and summoning his Meteor shield.

Ace feels the pressure coming from this beast and instantly draws his sword and uses meteor shield, stat boost and rock wrecker. Ace charges at the sunflower with a burst of speed. The sunflower calls a vine to tangle Ace up, Winfred quickly reacted and used his massive vines in comparison to destroy the flower's vines. Ace efficiently slashed right through Winfred's vines and left a shallow cut in the sunflower. Ace quickly uses his poison bullet a few times reducing the sunflowers Defence by 400 points.
The sunflower fires off another vine and ace deflects it easily with a bash of his shield.
Ace jumps in the air does a flip and slashes the sunflower using the down wards momentum to leave a deeper slice in the flower resulting in instantly killing the flower in that move.
"Few that was a close one, glad I could reduce its defence" Ace puffed out
The sunflower's body starts to glow as an eerie and mystical light appears from it and flows into Winfred.
