Evolve from Otsuki

Chapter 20 The Old Treant

"Don't talk about Wude."

Ren was captured back to the corrupt forest area again. The tree body was slightly damaged during the capture process and is being repaired.

Recalling the situation where the black hand appeared before,
Ryan found something odd,
That is, he did not see the tree man make a move,

Originally, I wanted to see the timing of the tree man's attack to avoid the attack,
But in the current situation, could it be that the tree man is preventing me from leaving, but another mysterious force?

Wren repaired the trunk,
He went to the tree man,
Since he was captured and returned to corrupt the forest area, the tall tree man has continued to wander aimlessly along the border.
The huge body is very powerful when walking, and every step causes the ground to vibrate.

Ren simply clung to the tree man's shoulder and moved,
observed for a while,
Ren found that the tree man was not as dumb as he seemed on the surface, but was actually very aggressive.

Whenever the treant sees other monsters breaking in from the border,
Treants will attack,
Hammer the intruders into a meat paste, and then continue to patrol,
And Ren would pick up the corpses of the monsters and absorb them. He went back and forth, picked up a lot of leaks, and ate quite a lot of delicious meat. He was hammered to death by the tree man long ago."

"only."

Ren pondered, "The tree man's attack is relatively simple, and it doesn't seem to be able to use [Black Hand]-level spells."

"patrol!"

The tree man muttered,

Ren then joked: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I don't look down on you."

Perhaps it's because the tree people evolved from the big moon tree, and they are the same kind to some extent, and they are also the same kind that can talk. Ren has been in the moon forest area for many years and has never had the opportunity to chat with anyone. He only entertains himself. happy,
It's rare to meet a fellow like that,
For a while, Ryan actually chatted with the tree man,

of course,

Both sides are talking to themselves,

Tree people never attack Ren, just take Ren to patrol the border,
Ren picked up many monster corpses along the way and had a full meal.
They all have a bright future,
But the good times didn't last long,

The tree man was already rotten. He was buried in the soil to rest before, and after being awakened by Ren in a daze, he patrolled around. The broken tree body was unbearable, and branches would fall every time he walked.

The whole treant's body has been damaged beyond recognition.
"Brother, why don't you take a break."

Ryan couldn't bear it,

"patrol!"

The tree man will always say this sentence, and the words are conveyed into Ren's mind, with deep exhaustion and pain.

Ren can feel it,

This ancient tree man is suffering from the decay of the tree body. It wants to stop, but it can't. There is a strange force in its body that is forcing the tree man to perform patrol tasks.

The tree man wants to be freed,

"Dude."

"Thank you for taking me around the forest area these days, killing a lot of monsters, and letting me eat a lot of good food. Although I don't know if you have completely lost consciousness, and I don't know if you can hear me. my words."

"All in all, I feel lucky to have met someone of my kind."

"You don't need to live in pain anymore, I will help you out, friend."

Ren said with emotion,
He wanted to help the poor fellow,

Although the only way to leave the black forest area is the tree man, if the tree man dies, he may never be able to leave the rotten forest area,

But Ren really couldn't bear to see this old tree man continue to suffer,

The treant's feet were badly damaged, and his walking speed became extremely slow. In the end, he was already prostrate on the ground. Even so, the treant still crawled along the border, fulfilling the mission of patrolling.

it can't stop,
There is power driving the old tree man, don't stop.

"Relieve, friend."

Ryan couldn't stand it anymore.
He used the vines to grab the old treant's body,

attribute absorption,
"Nutrition +1"

"Moisture +1"

The treant's body is already exhausted, lacking in water and nutrients, and can only absorb some occasionally.
"Cursed Prototype +1"

"Cursed Prototype +1"

"Cursed Prototype +1"

The attributes within the trunk are the prototypes of the curse,
attributes Wren has never met,
gain new attributes,
At the same time, as the water and nutrients flowed from the tree body of the old tree man, its broken body finally couldn't bear it, and it fell slowly.

The ground rumbles,

The old tree man was still muttering: "Patrol!"

"patrol!"

With a hint of joy of relief in the words,

Ren, who was absorbing attributes, also seemed to feel a blurred line of sight, from the eyes of the old tree man, with deep gratitude.

"You're welcome."

"Leave with peace of mind. As for the way to leave the black forest area, I will find out by myself."

Wren responded.

He met the old tree man by chance, but the two lonely souls met together, and they were of the same kind. Therefore, even though they hadn't had a serious conversation from the beginning to the end, the two moon trees regarded each other as friends.

Watching the old tree man's trunk carbonize a little bit,

Ryan knew that this friend who "had only known him for a few days" was leaving.

"Cursed Prototype +1"

"Cursed Prototype +1"

"Mind transmission +1"

"Memory +1"

"Memory +1"

"Memory +1"

With the life of the old tree people gradually disappearing,

It is basically difficult for the tree body to absorb nutrients and water, and it is more of the prototype attribute of the curse, as well as the emerging memory and idea transmission attributes,
"When the prototype attributes of the curse reach a certain number, whether to transform it."

"The conversion was successful."

"Acquire the ability [Iseremy's Curse]"

"Acquire the ability [Isserrimin's Lament]"

Acquisition of new abilities,

moment,

Wren's tree body is getting super wrong,
When gaining abilities in the past, most of the useful abilities would directly transform the tree body. Ren would have a feeling that he was being strengthened. That feeling was as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring when you are tired and having someone massage you next to you.
But when he obtained [Iseremy's Curse] and [Sigh], the tree body became extremely uncomfortable,
The most intuitive feeling is his thirst and unprecedented hunger,
an uncontrollable hunger,

and deep fatigue,
Ren never needed to sleep, and he was still full of energy at night, but now, for the first time in more than three years, Ren felt sleepy,

He wants to sleep!

The reminder voice continued to sound in my mind,
[Title Obtained: Curse Carrier]

"What?"

"And got a new title?"

"Something is wrong! There is a problem."

Ren felt that the situation was not good. It seemed that a certain power hidden in the old tree man was absorbed and transformed by the attribute.
I had stopped absorbing,

I can imagine the pain of the old tree man,

Ren gritted his teeth and continued to absorb attributes,
The life of the old tree man gradually passed away, the body of the tree was carbonized, and finally died completely.
"Whether the memory attribute reaches a certain number, whether it is transformed."

"The conversion was successful."

"Obtain [Memory Fragment of Moon Tree Guard]"
