This stone forest is probably not simple.

Alice quickly carried out an enemy analysis.

If she were alone, running away wouldn't be an issue, but trying to do so while bringing children along would be quite a challenge for Alice.

However, the real threat to Alice was the leading knight.

Once Alice confirmed that the knight would continue guarding the pass, she gladly accepted the escort by the strong men.

Thus, the strong men led Alice and her group toward the depths of the stone forest.

The name War God Stone Forest comes from the dense stone pillars in this forest. These pillars are all naturally formed and, combined with the surrounding trees, create a very beautiful and spectacular sight.

The moment they left the knight's perception range, Alice made her move. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Considering there were children present, Alice chose a relatively gentle way to eliminate her enemies.

[Alice used arson to turn these strong men into ashes.]

Good heavens, you are so damn gentle.

Shen Sui was almost moved to tears upon witnessing this scene.

Alice's troublesome nature really showed, clearly she had the intention to retreat this time, yet they insisted on keeping Alice there.

At this point, Alice realized there was no way to peacefully resolve today's issue. She had never gotten along with War God Church to begin with, so she decided to be unreserved.

Alice first released all the miniature puppets from her ring.

In this situation, information was extremely important. Alice had to confirm what was happening in the stone forest; if she could parasitize a knight from the War God Church, that would be ideal.

"How is it?" Liames asked with concern.

Alice examined the information returned by the miniature puppets: "There are no adventurers around..."

However, just as she finished speaking, the perspective of one of the miniature puppets showed a team of adventurers fleeing, with a group of warriors dressed in War God Church attire behind them.

These adventurers were apparently no match for professional clergy and quickly became captives of the warriors.

Alice seemed to have guessed something and instructed several miniature puppets to fly towards the sky.

Finally, Alice identified the source of familiarity.

As the miniature puppets encompassed the entire War God Stone Forest within their view, the purple array appearing atop the scattered stone pillars drew Alice's attention.

The array felt familiar, but Alice couldn't recall what it was.

"Miss Vivian." Time was pressing, and Alice didn't plan to ponder on her own; she directly opened the notebook on her side for a rescue call.

At that moment, Vivian was beside Shen Sui, and seeing Alice's plea for help, she immediately released the girl Vivian's restraint.

The girl Vivian joyfully appeared before Alice.

Alice explained her discovery to the girl Vivian and used twigs to sketch the image formed by the interconnected arrays on the ground.

"How can it be this array?" Vivian exclaimed upon seeing the full layout of the magic array.

Shen Sui rarely witnessed Vivian losing composure like this and promptly asked, "What array is it?"

"Let me verify." Vivian said.

Hearing Vivian's words, Shen Sui knew this matter was not small.

Vivian, through the girl Vivian's perspective, meticulously sketched the dots and planning of the array onto text.

Vivian took a deep breath, completing the final step: igniting the array using magic power.

The wondrous magic array appeared before the two.

Vivian's face turned serious upon seeing the appearance of this magic array.

However, noticing Shen Sui's gaze, Vivian's expression softened, offering a bitter smile as she explained, "This is a resurrection magic array through sacrificing others' lives."

"Resurrection magic array?" Shen Sui frowned, "Does such an array truly exist?"

"It doesn't exist," Vivian straightforwardly responded, "It's essentially a killing array. Presented as a resurrection magic array, it's easiest to deceive people under that guise. This so-called resurrection magic array requires a massive amount of life sacrifices to activate."

"After you disappeared, I tried many ways to summon you, this was among them," Vivian continued, "But after thoroughly understanding this magic array, I stopped trying."

"Once this array is activated, it can't be stopped." Vivian turned to Shen Sui and said, "Have Alice hurry to stop them."

"Who do you think the War God Church plans to resurrect?" Shen Sui instructed Alice while pondering the question.

Though it's a killing array, it's nominally a resurrection array. They must have a purpose in setting up this magic array.

Who is so important within the War God Church that they would spare no expense and effort just to resurrect them?

Past Popes?

Or the new War God High Priest that Alice killed?

Vivian was equally puzzled as Shen Sui.

If War God Balgas was confirmed dead, then it's likely they are preparing to resurrect the War God.

Yet, there has been no feedback from Arianna's side. At least on the church level, Arianna's disguise as a proxy War God seems flawless.

Could it be that someone within the War God Church discovered that the current War God is an imposter and aims to resurrect the real War God using this method?

In that case, Alice indeed has to risk investigating.

On Alice's end, driven by personal curiosity and children's safety, she had already decided to head to the center of the magic array to examine.

Following girl Vivian's instructions, Alice placed the children in a blind spot of the sacrificial resurrection array and took out the miniature puppet and Dragon Scale. Should she detect danger, she would immediately abandon everything and rush here.

"Liames Teacher, you stay here to protect the students." Alice prepared herself before setting off.

Liames nodded and didn't suggest accompanying Alice.

[Guided by girl Vivian, Alice headed toward the center of the array.]

[After walking for a long time, Alice suddenly stopped, muttering to herself:]

["Wasn't there supposed to be broken magical tools here? Why haven't I found a single one throughout the whole way?"]
