1144 A Growing Body
Randolf raised his head and looked at the giant tree in the distance, his eyes also showing a touch of surprise.
The Empire’s sword saint Chepo, who was with Lord Brent, also raised his eyebrows.
Their eyes met by chance.
Randolf slightly nodded to Chepo.
They all felt it.
Compared to yesterday when he came to the Land of Plague, the sacred tree had grown a lot taller, and the life aura it contained was also stronger.
Lord Fang Heng, the master of the Land of Plague, had unfathomable strength.
Perpetual spells didn’t weaken with time. Instead, they became stronger.
How did he do it?
Suddenly, Randolf realized something. He frowned and turned to look at the sacred tree.
The next moment, Randolf’s eyes were filled with surprise.
What was going on?
This powerful life force fluctuation…
The magical fluctuations in the field were still increasing rapidly!
How could this be?
“Look! It has grown! The sacred tree has grown!”
“It’s true! It has grown again!”
Everyone on the team had also noticed the abnormality of the sacred tree, and they all pointed at it in the distance.
Looking up, the towering tree in the Land of Plague was increasing in height. The branches and leaves extended outward again!
The upper layer of the huge tree trunk had already disappeared into the clouds, so it was impossible to see the full appearance of the sacred tree.
The horses of the transport vehicles neighed uneasily.
This was terrible!
Randolf’s expression slightly changed.
The sword saint Chepo shouted, “Stop!! Stop!! Everyone stop, dismount, and be on guard!”
The entire forest area was rapidly expanding!
Visible to the naked eye, a green area of vines spread toward everyone in the distance!
It was too fast!
Countless roots, green vines, and leaves burst out from the ground, sweeping toward the outside world from the depths of the Land of Plague!
The team gathered together and watched as everything in the distance was submerged in a sea of green vines!
They were like small boats in the vast ocean, watching the green tide come and devour everything that came in its way!
An unstoppable thought rose in everyone’s heart.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The densely-packed vines swept toward the team and then stopped in front of them for half a second. Then, the vines continued to spread out from both sides of the team.
Seeing that the sacred tree in the Land of Plague did not attack the team, the feudal lords heaved a sigh of relief.
Reyne felt his hands trembling from fear. He was was in a state of extreme shock and he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The surroundings were silent, leaving only the sound of the vines rubbing against each other and the heavy breathing of the people.
Ma Xiaowan’s face was also pale. She muttered to herself, “The disaster, it’s spreading…”
She felt more and more uneasy.
One of the feudal lords noticed something and pointed to the back of the team, “Look, over there!
Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction the feudal lord was pointing, and they were shocked.
Although the crisis had passed, the forest region was still expanding!
The sacred tree had no intention of stopping and continued to spread toward the back of the team, and behind them was Hani City!
The players led by Ed looked at each other and saw the surprise on their faces.
No wonder the Central Federation was so cold to them outside the game.
The Central Federation was actually this powerful?
On the city wall of Hani City, the Empire’s soldiers panicked when they saw the forest of vines spreading from afar.
They had no idea what was going on outside. The vines that were rushing toward them did not look like good things. The guards on the city wall immediately sounded the alarm.
The soldiers raised their weapons and aimed at the vine forest spreading toward the city in the distance.
They clenched their weapons tightly and were extremely nervous.
The first thing Klein did after the alarm was triggered was to climb up the city wall to observe the situation.
Looking at the vines spreading from the outside world, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
What was going on? What was going on with the forest?
It wasn’t the barbarians who attacked the city, but the forest?
Was the barbarian controlling all this from behind?
Klein had never heard of such a strange thing happening!
What should he do? How could they defend this city?
Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down Klein’s cheeks.
He looked at the vines that were rapidly spreading toward the city and raised his hand high. He shouted, “All of you, listen up!”
Eh?!
Klein’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as he quickly clenched his fists. He shouted, “Wait a minute!”
Outside the city, the vines suddenly changed. They stopped spreading.
City Lord Klein and the Empire soldiers on the city gate tower stared at the vines outside the city.
They did not dare to move.
What if the vines weren’t hostile?
What if he took the initiative to attack and angered them?
“Chi Chi Chi…”
After a few seconds, the vines slowly began to shrink back.
Did they retreat?
“Telescope!” Klein said in a deep voice.
“Yes, City Lord!”
Klein took the telescope from his subordinate and looked into the distance. The forest of vines retreated, but not completely.
At present, 300 meters west of Hani City was covered by a forest of vines. The forest stretched on without an end in sight.
Could it be…
Klein thought of the sacred tree in the Land of Plague that had recently been circulating in the Empire.
Was the forest created by the sacred tree?
Klein looked in the direction of the forest in the distance, frowning.
Was the undead feudal lord showing off his strength to the Empire?
Indeed, a powerful necromancy mage had the terrifying power to control the sacred tree. If he wanted to, he could easily manage the entire Hani City…
What was his purpose?
…
In the Land of Plague, under the sacred tree of Abe Akaya, Fang Heng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered to himself.
“Phew, almost…”
The description of the sacred tree appeared in the game log on his retina.
[Ancient legend-Abe Akaya (fused blood form)(bound to player).]
[Current status: Mature form (Level 1).]
Description: A seed of the sacred tree that was born in the Otherworld. Under extremely coincidental circumstances, it fused with a curse to form a new life form.
Description: Abe Akaya can rapidly grow by devouring blood and some special energy, greatly strengthening its body.
Description: This creature is an ancient creature. You lack the relevant skills to control it.
Description: The sacred tree has self-awareness (current tree-friendly status: Dependence.
Fang Heng retracted his gaze from the notification.
After the sacred tree absorbed the huge energy contained in the unknown stone, it directly entered a rapid growth mode, and even directly increased its level and entered a growing state.
After his level increased, Fang Heng could sense the emotions coming from the sacred tree more clearly.
It had already regarded Fang Heng as the closest person to it.
