Chapter 660: Wooden Heart
After obtaining the Woodsman job, I obtained a Wooden Heart function card, which started the tragedy.
After confirming that the Death King Tree wouldnt notice this place, Ye Zhongming calmed down and waited for the treant to explain.
Ye Zhongming trusted the treant on this as half an hour had passed since both sides negotiated. The dried corpses that the Death King Tree controlled showed no signs of coming here. It was obvious that the treant had used a method to hide himself from the Death King Tree.
The Woodsmans job ability is amazing; it can absorb energy from trees to strengthen the job ability. I dont need job advancement scrolls to upgrade my skills. However, it is slow, and that is only relative. Anyways, it is faster than the evolved that wait for the advancement scrolls.
Ye Zhongming was shocked. He knew that some job skills could be upgraded on their own. He had some guesses in this life, but he was still uncertain whether or not those things were true. He didnt expect to meet someone who could give him a definite answer.
But this ability has side effects. The treant struggled to speak, making it tough for Ye Zhongming to listen. But he still revealed some information that Ye Zhongming was interested in.
This was a door to the unknown.
I will incur the hatred of plants. As compared to other evolved, they will notice me quickly and even search for me to attack me. If I get hit, I will suffer from more damage.
Can you imagine how it feels like to sleep with an open eye? Mutated plants might attack me at any moment.
I want to change this situation. I thought the Wooden Heart card was my savior and used it without hesitation, but
I mutated. I went from a human and slowly changed into a tree. My abilities did get stronger, and I faced no match at the same level. The mutated plants hate me less, and instead, they are closer. But I am getting further away from being a human.
He paused and looked at his hand with a complicated expression.
I should have sensed that the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrot wanted to occupy Lin Hai. I could have left if I wanted, but I didnt. I chose to stay here because The Death King Trees seeds can slow down the rate of my tree transformation.
The treant pressed a few buttons on the equipment, dimming the screen. He pulled out a hard disk and placed it into his arm, which had turned into a branch.
I stayed and used various methods to obtain seeds. But I didnt manage to get much, and the tree transformation continued. After these few months, I turned into this.
Since that is the case, why do you want to leave?
Ye Zhongming told the twins to scout the area around. Although he trusted the treant, he was still wary.
Because the Death King Tree noticed me.
Ye Zhongming sat up straight when he heard that.
I am not sure, but it must have realized my existence, and it has been searching for me.
It is my fault as the mutated plants in Linhai have reduced, and it is tough to find them. The Death King Tree also has too few seeds, and they cant satisfy my need to upgrade my job skills. After the recent upgrade, maybe because I ate too many Death King Tree seeds, the new ability I got was to create and control dried corpses, which is Those that you and your twin killed. I was surprised and got arrogant. I created some and clashed with those that the Death King Tree created, and I know it noticed me.
Ya Tian mentioned the dried corpses the treant had created, but Ye Zhongming hadnt seen one. The treant guessed his thoughts, and after a short moment, a low-level dried corpse fell from the lift well. Although the fall was tragic, Ye Zhongming still saw its true looks.
It is different from the ones the Death King Tree controls.
Ye Zhongming pointed at the demon crystal and said.
Yes. The treant nodded, I cant absorb the energy inside like the Death King Tree.
Which means that you can absorb their energy when they are still alive?
He smiled bitterly, and that smile seemed weird as it was on a tree, Most of them are mutated lifeforms, and only a small portion are humans. Moreover, do you see that those human dried corpses have demon crystals? The humans that were killed were turned into dried corpses, and then the demon crystals would appear on their heads. The Death King Tree and I are the same. But I cant absorb anything from the bodies of evolved.
Moreover, the human dried corpses are those that wanted to kill me.
Humans that turned into dried corpses will have demon crystals?
Ye Zhongmings confusion received an answer, but he still didnt know why it would happen.
Linhai has been trapped for a long time, and there arent many demon crystals that we can get. The evolution speed is slowing, and we have to leave. Even I cant handle such a situation.
Because of my job, I am sensitive to plants. I noticed that the Life-Taking Carrot will evolve, which is a chance to flee. I made a plan and discussed it with some factions. I will lead them, and they will help me to get out.
Ye Zhongming lowered his head and was thinking about something.
The dried corpses above were my helpers, but your twins killed a large portion of them. The treat looked at Ye Zhongming; he hesitated and then asked, I have never heard of such strong twins in Linhai and have never heard of such a strong evolved like you. So where did you come from?
The treant had his guesses, but he wasnt sure. Like Yang Yixi, Mei Na, Gan Lan, etc, they became excited when they realized that.
I have a few questions. ye Zhongming won, so he didnt reply to the treant. He chose to ask his questions.
First, since you noticed that turning evolved into dried corpses can cause demon crystals to appear on their heads, did you think about using that to get demon crystals to spin the potion?
Second, you said the Death King Tree noticed you and is searching for you. Allow me to be frank: the entire Linhai is under his control. Why havent he found you?
Third, what was your identity before the apocalypse? This place Doesnt seem like a place ordinary people should know about. Also, give me the hard disk; that is my spoils of war.
The treant opened his mouth and sighed, I will answer your second question first. Once you know that, the other questions wont be a problem.
The treant told Ye Zhongming something shocking.
