Chapter 580
580 The Guardian of the mother tree
The mother tree was indeed a special existence that loved peace and hated killing, even after becoming Lou Cheng!
In her original world, a single mother tree could form a small world where all living things lived in harmony. There was never any deliberate killing.
However, when the mother tree’s cornerstone fell into Tang Zhen’s hands and he successfully built the city, the mother tree’s nightmare began.
The flesh and blood of countless corpses became the nourishment for her growth. In the soil around her, there were already countless layers of bones.
The mother tree had tried to resist, but as city Lord Lou, Tang Zhen could still force her to digest some of the flesh and blood. The mother tree, who was ignorant at that time, could not refuse.
It was precisely because of this that the mother tree, who had always been a vegetarian, transformed into a Taotie and madly consumed the energy in the flesh and blood. Even though she was extremely disgusted, she continued to absorb it.
After this incident of using flesh and blood as nourishment, the mother tree, who had a child’s heart, became particularly hateful of Tang Zhen. She almost never took the initiative to communicate with him. Even if Tang Zhen had something to ask of her, she would need the mother tree cultivator to pass the message.
Tang Zhen really did not know whether to laugh or cry when faced with this willful little fellow. However, who asked him to be a special building with unlimited potential? even if he was a little arrogant, Tang Zhen had never placed it in his heart.
According to the secret technique’s record that Tang Zhen had obtained back then, using flesh and blood to nourish the mother tree would not only make the mother tree’s size bigger and its consciousness stronger, but it could even form another special energy in its body.
As compared to the mother tree’s normal gentle energy, this special energy that was produced by absorbing flesh and blood was undoubtedly much more violent, and its destructive power was extremely terrifying!
The tree spirit tribe had once cultivated such a mother tree cultivator. He was extremely powerful and was known as the number one cultivator of the tree spirit tribe at that time!
It was also because of this reason that Tang Zhen, who was lacking in strength back then, chose this secret technique.
So far, the mother tree had devoured countless flesh and blood, as well as the corpses of many powerful monsters, so the special energy had long been formed, but no one had been able to obtain it.
Tang Zhen did not know why the mother tree would do this, but he did not pay much attention to it. After all, the mother tree’s greatest advantage was defense. With the weapons from the original world, the Holy Dragon City was more than enough to protect itself!
This time, the residents of the original world had transmigrated together. Tang Zhen had specially ordered people to lead these new residents to the mother tree. He wanted to see if these new residents who used the mother tree’s body could successfully obtain this special energy!
Their bodies were nurtured by the mother tree, so they naturally had a special connection with the mother tree, which increased the chances of them communicating with the mother tree.
However, according to the mother tree’s concept of likes and dislikes, the souls of Huseni and the others who had been on the battlefield were very impure, which was certainly not what the mother tree liked.
Therefore, it was still unknown whether huseny and the others could obtain the special energy of the mother tree.
Husayne and the others immediately sat cross-legged on the grass after the child’s explanation, holding their breath and trying to communicate with the mother tree.
It was also at this moment that their brows suddenly twitched. They felt that the world of loucheng was different from their original world.
If one were to calmly sense it, one would discover that there seemed to be something invisible, but it did exist, wandering around in the air, giving one a wonderful feeling.
In fact, this kind of thing was the energy absorbed by cultivators, which did not exist in the original world at all!
Being in an environment with such energy, everyone felt like their consciousness was like a fish swimming in the water, beginning to wander around in the air.
Huseny and the others were so immersed in this strange atmosphere that they almost forgot to communicate with the mother tree. They felt as if they were floating towards the sky.
At this moment, huseny suddenly heard a cold snort. It was as if the voice came from a little girl who hated his appearance.
Then, he saw a huge blood-red rune appear in the sky in front of him. It almost covered the entire world.
A blood-red ray of light suddenly shot out from the huge rune and headed straight for his position. Huseini didn’t have time to Dodge, and the blood-red ray of light struck the area between his eyebrows.
Huseny felt his mind go wild, and his mind was filled with illusions that seemed to be related to slaughter and death.
Furthermore, he had a vague thought in his mind, which was to protect the safety of the mother tree. Anyone who dared to harm the mother tree would be killed!
The thought lingered in his mind for a long time before it gradually dormant. Then, the method to use the mother tree’s energy appeared in huseny’s mind again.
After an unknown amount of time, huseny finally recovered from his dazed state and looked at the mother tree in surprise.
The mother tree at this moment gave him the urge to kowtow, as if she was the meaning of his life!
Shifting his gaze away from the mother tree, huseny felt his body again and found that there was indeed a special energy in his body.
He tried to circulate the energy according to the method in his mind, and blood-red lines immediately appeared on the surface of huseny’s body and cheeks, looking extremely strange.
At the same time, an aura of madness and stubbornness exploded from his body.
protect the mother tree, protect the Holy Dragon City, I will die with no regrets!
With husany’s low growl, a giant blood-colored beetle appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping husany’s body.
This beetle had huge horns, Mantis-like blade-like legs, wings on its back, and bone spikes all over its body. It looked out of place and was actually a combination of many monsters!
However, everyone knew that these blood-colored beetles were not to be underestimated, because an extremely powerful aura was constantly being emitted from its body.
Its pair of blade-like legs lightly struck, and two blood-red crescent-shaped blades flew out. They only gradually dissipated after flying for nearly a hundred meters.
Spreading its wings, the Scarlet Beetle immediately flew up and circled the mother tree in the sky. Then, it suddenly rushed toward the mountain peak in the distance.
Just as the blood-colored beetle was about to hit the mountain peak, a green figure suddenly jumped out of the green grass at the top of the mountain. It ran up the steep rock wall like a monkey.
This scene stunned everyone. After all, before this, no one had discovered that there was something hidden in the grass on the peak.
anyone who dares to covet the mother tree and try to pry into Holy Dragon city’s secrets will be killed without mercy!
The blood-colored beetle flapped its wings and caught up with the unknown green creature at lightning speed. It then slashed out with its blade-like legs.
With every step the blade foot took, its strength would increase. By the time it was about to hit him, it was already as heavy as a mountain!
“No!”
The green voice cried out in pain as it watched the blade-like foot split its body into two!
“Plop!”
The two halves of the corpse fell from the mountain peak. The Holy Dragon City soldiers who had long noticed this scene immediately stepped forward to check the identity of The Infiltrator.
The Holy Dragon City had long had a rule that those who illegally infiltrated the inner city would be killed without mercy if they encountered resistance!
After the construction of the floating city some time ago, in addition to the news that Tang Zhen came from a continent-level city, many forces had already set their eyes on the Holy Dragon City, wanting to know more about the Holy Dragon City.
In a short period of time, the Holy Dragon City had already killed nearly a hundred secret agents and spies. The person who was killed by the blood-colored beetle today was obviously someone with bad intentions!
After killing the spy, the blood-colored beetle slowly landed on the grass. Its several-meter-tall body looked majestic.
But then the blood-red beetle crumbled, revealing huseny inside. His face was pale, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Everyone asked what had just happened, and husseny told them about his encounter with the blood rune. He also said that he had been ordered by the mother tree to kill the spy who had been lurking for many days!
