Chapter 121 The Hanging Tree
"The Hanging Tree."
Alan answered Sonia's questions in a low voice.
"They are distant relatives of the tree people, and they are more evil and cruel relatives!"
"Look at the crown of Hanning. The most terrible weapon of the Hanging Tree is hanging under the canopy."
Sonia followed Alan's instructions and looked up carefully.
Sure enough, I saw that there was a vine hanging from the crown of the gallows tree, in front, behind, left and right .
Dark green vines dotted with large clusters of golden flowers.
Each vine is thicker than an adult's thigh!
The vine is twenty meters long, and the lower half hangs down to the ground, wriggling along the ground like a python.
A demon accidentally approached the vines and was immediately entangled and hung upside down.
The demon howled and twisted desperately, but was unable to break free from the vines.
In a flash, all the bones in his body were broken.
The body was hanging upside down under the tree canopy, swaying and bleeding.
He looked like a death row inmate who had been hanged.
A hint of enlightenment appeared in Sonia's eyes.
Now, she knew Han Ning's ancestral form...why it was called the "Hanging Tree"!
In the middle of the tree trunk, there was a huge human face with its mouth wide open.
The fifth vine, like a long tongue, extends from the mouth.
Wrap the hanged demon around, drag it back, and put it into your mouth.
His mouth was closed and he chewed with a crunching sound.
Blood flowed out, stream after stream, from the big mouth of the tree hole, which was not closed tightly.
Han Ning ate the man in big mouthfuls, and his face on the bark was slightly distorted, revealing an intoxicated expression.
In his ancestral form, he could never suppress his bloodthirsty and cannibalistic urges.
Eating humans can not only repair his physical injuries, but the energy extracted from their flesh and blood can also help improve his spiritual practice.
In the Warlock Academy, he used to be reluctant to kill people and eat their corpses in order to protect his own image.
Occasionally, when he felt craving for food, he had to leave the academy, find a remote island, slaughter the indigenous people, and feast on them.
Now that he had come to the secret underground realm and was forced to revert to his ancestral form, Han Ning simply stopped pretending.
No longer resist the evil call deep in your blood, and release your bloodthirsty impulse!
Four thick vines began to dance at the same time.
The golden flowers on the vines are in full bloom!
Countless golden pollens are scattered like stars.
From a distance, it looks like blooming golden fireworks.
"Wow...so beautiful..."
Sonia's eyes widened, her face full of obsession.
A sudden sharp pain in her arm brought her back to her senses.
Alan held a needle and stabbed it into Sonia's arm.
"Brother Allen...you hurt me!"
Sonia felt aggrieved and protested against his rudeness.
"If you don't want to die, shut up!"
Alan interrupted her coldly and continued to inject the antidote.
"Brother Allen... Is that golden pollen poisonous?"
Sonia asked tentatively in a soft voice.
Alan pulled out the needle and nodded slightly.
"Highly toxic, hallucinogenic, insane, possessed... inhaling Hanged Man pollen will bring about any horrible consequences you can imagine."
Sonia shuddered.
Looking back at the golden pollen diffused in the air, it is still beautiful and spectacular, but there is a bloody smell behind it.
On the circus side, except for the circus leader Ethan, everyone inhaled pollen to varying degrees and soon showed symptoms of poisoning.
The strongman's eyes were red and blood vessels bulged on his forehead.
He pulled out the two machetes that were slung across his back, and instead of attacking Han Ning, he turned around and pounced on the puppeteer.
Wielding the sword with both hands, he chopped the puppeteer madly!
The puppeteer was caught off guard and was stabbed.
clang!
The cloak was split open, revealing the skin, which reflected the knife light like smooth metal.
His symptoms seemed to be milder, and he was able to remain sane and dodge the sword's blows.
Ethan frowned slightly, and a stream of mycelium shot out from his index finger, wrapping around the strongman and injecting the antidote.
Soon, the strong man regained consciousness and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Looking back at the gallows tree with its vines dancing wildly, anger bursting from his eyes!
"Damn you, how dare you fool me!"
With a roar, the strongman also activated the third level of atavism!
The height of the man, who was more than two meters tall, suddenly doubled in size!
His muscles twitched as if snakes were wriggling under his skin.
Thick, long white hair grows wildly from the pores.
In the blink of an eye, he had shed his human form and transformed into a four-meter-tall white-haired monster!
Four sturdy arms, breaking through the leather armor, with muscles bulging!
Alan was very familiar with this image. It was the four-armed gorilla he encountered on the Heritage Island!
The strongman is a third-level "World of Warcraft Warlock", and his awakened World of Warcraft bloodline is the four-armed gorilla!
No wonder this guy carries four machetes on his back, it turns out they are specially prepared for his ancestral form!
The Atavistic Hercules is still a size smaller than the Hanged Tree, but his physical attributes are not inferior.
It is also more agile and can climb and jump with ease.
This is precisely the biggest shortcoming of the bulky hanging tree.
The four-armed gorilla dodged the blows from the tree branches with a series of beautiful somersaults, then pulled out four large swords with his backhand.
The magic power was activated, the sword hummed, and the light suddenly increased!
First-level martial arts-demonized weapon!
The four machetes blessed by magic were temporarily upgraded to level 1 enchanted weapons, which just restrained the damage-reducing armor of the Hangman Tree.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Four sharp sword lights flashed across each other.
Four deep cracks appeared on the tree trunk.
On the gallows tree, Han Ning's bark face was furious. He swung out vines and chased the four-armed gorilla.
The atavistic strongman did a backward somersault while swinging his sword at the same time.
Four big swords danced wildly at a high speed, and the blades intertwined into a bright ball of light.
With a sharp cutting sound, all the vines close to him were cut off.
The vines broke off, spurted sap, twisted violently, and soon new vines grew out.
"Hercules, jump up to the treetops."
Captain Ethan, who was watching the battle from the side, gave instructions at the right time.
The strongman followed his advice, squatted down, pushed off the ground with force, and jumped up!
The sturdy body flew more than ten meters high, flipped in the air, and landed lightly on the tree canopy.
The atavistic strongman, with a murderous look on his face, swung his sword with all four arms and chopped wildly.
Crack! !
Crack! !
Countless broken branches and leaves fell down.
The atavistic strongman transformed into a four-armed gorilla and fought against the atavistic Han Ning.
At the same time, the puppeteer also took off his cloak, revealing his true face.
Under the cloak stood a man wrapped in bandages, smelling of mineral oil.
A puppeteer is not only good at manipulating puppets on stage, but he himself is also a special kind of "puppet".
The warlock school he belongs to, in addition to bloodline awakening, also has a way to strengthen one's own strength.
Human body modification.
To be precise, it is to transform itself into a mechanized one.
Puppeteer, the transformation is quite thorough.
Except for the brain and internal organs, the rest of the organs and flesh, including the limbs, have been replaced with metal parts.
The puppeteer, a third-level "mechanical wizard", is actually a half-human, half-constructed "mechanical man".
When he activated the third level of atavism, the joints under the bandages made crackling sounds!
The whole person swelled up, breaking the bandages and exposing the steel-blue torso, which was particularly shiny due to the lubrication!
What's even more terrifying is his face.
The bandages were removed, revealing a hollow face.
Literally "empty".
Below the forehead, above the chin, and between the ears.
Most of the front area of the face is occupied by a round black hole.
In theory, the cave shouldn't be too deep.
Otherwise it will go through the back of the head.
But, it’s strange…
The puppeteer’s dark face hole seems to have no end in sight!
It seems bottomless!
"What kind of monster is this puppeteer's atavistic form?"
Alan asked Sonia in a low voice.
