Chapter 206: Strange Tree
Only after truly burning down that patch of forest were Roselle and the others able to truly step into these ruins.
"This place has at least nearly a thousand years of history." Roselle walked into the Jinzi Ta Jintai and carefully observed the carvings on it.
"There is a custom of demon worship here?" The others also made discoveries.
Roselle walked closer and managed to recognize familiar traces from the carvings.
"Not just that, there is also typical Starry Sky worship!" Roselle's pupils constricted; he saw a familiar star map on the mural.
He is currently an "Astronomer," and studying the Starry Sky is a necessary act of acting; at the same time, the stars are also one of his sources of power.
But in the "Craftsman Church," the study of the Starry Sky is also restricted to a very narrow scope, and it is strictly forbidden to overstep it.
He could vaguely guess that this involved a massive secret, and he also sensed danger.
"Be careful, this place might be even more dangerous than we imagined."
Roselle's expression turned solemn.
Sss-sss!
An abnormal sound rang out from underground, and everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Behind the Jinzi Ta Jintai, a large tree that had fallen to the ground stood up, and countless vine tentacles wrapped around everything.
"Tree Giant?" Roselle recognized this Tree Giant. "I saw it in a book; the core of this thing is one of the materials for a certain Demigod, and it is very powerful!"
"Protect me well, provide support, I will deal with it!"
Roselle retreated directly into the protection circle of the few people.
"Attack!" The others also realized the difficulty of the opponent, and various magic and physical attacks landed on the vine tentacles, buying time for Roselle.
At this moment, a small figure made of metal appeared in Roselle's hand.
This is a Sealed Artifact formed by combining an "Alchemist" Characteristic with a doll, which was the reward Chumen paid in advance.
"Activate!" Roselle bit his finger and smeared blood onto the metal figure; it was at this moment that Roselle's eyes became hazy and he directly lost consciousness.
Click-clack!
The metal figure's hands and feet began to move, and in an instant, it grew to be two meters tall, turning into a metal giant, and charged toward the Tree Giant.
After being stained with Roselle's blood, the metal figure had Roselle's soul attached to it, controlled by him, and was activated as an alchemical product of an "Alchemist."
"Die!" Roselle's voice came from the metal giant's mouth, and a ray of starlight transformed into a long sword, which was held in Roselle's hand as he slashed at the Tree Giant.
After becoming an "Astronomer," his frontal combat ability was strengthened, and the "Alchemist" itself also possesses corresponding abilities.
Sss!
The long sword condensed from starlight instantly severed most of the Tree Giant's tentacles, but this also angered the Tree Giant, and the sky-filling leaves and tentacles surged to completely submerge the metal giant.
"Record, Sun!" A golden light suddenly flashed in the metal giant's eyes, and an illusory Record Book bloomed with circles of golden flames.
These golden flames burned all the leaves to ashes, and the next instant, the metal giant even suddenly Shanjian behind the Tree Giant.
This is the "Traveler's" "Shanjian."
Click!
The Tree Giant's body suddenly froze.
The "Puppet Master's" Spirit Body Thread.
The Tree Giant still wanted to resist, but the next instant it forgot what it needed to do and could only be controlled until death.
The "Dream Stealer's" "Steal," this is a theft that can act directly on the level of thought.
Just now, it was Roselle who stole the Tree Giant's thought of resisting, deepening the control over the Tree Giant's Spirit Body Thread.
After becoming a Sequence 5, Roselle, in coordination with the ability he obtained from the Silver Medal, was already able to crush an average Sequence 5 and could be compared to an average Demigod.
This is also a manifestation of the superiority of the Silver Medal; once Roselle becomes a Demigod, this nature will be even more obvious.
"Die!" The starlight long sword in Roselle's hand directly pierced through the Tree Giant.
It was not that he didn't have the idea of keeping the Tree Giant as a puppet, but it was truly impossible; he also needs to pay a great price to use the metal giant.
It will randomly drain the life force of a living being; if it does not extract the enemy's in time, it will backfire on Roselle's own body.
Hum!
The life force of the three-meter-tall tree man was terrifyingly immense, but it was completely absorbed by the metal giant in a few moments, turning into a withered tree.
Roselle's main body woke up instantly, recovered the metal giant that had turned back into a small golden figure, and incidentally obtained the Tree Giant's core.
This is a Demigod material, with extremely high value.
"Good harvest!" Roselle looked at the tree man core and nodded with satisfaction.
"Let us continue forward!"
Roselle was full of pride and satisfaction, leading the knights to continue forward.
The old Storm pigeon was still on the way.
At this time in Bayam, the "Punishers" had all rushed to the depths of the jungle; ordinary people felt nothing, but that indigenous faith which had conflicted with the Storm Church for many years had some reaction.
Thick black clouds covered the entire city, and wind and waves rolled, as if to stir up a Tsunami that would bury the entire city.
"Quiet." At the node where the Spirit World and the Real World intersect, Chumen gently pressed down with one hand, and a blue-black sea snake the size of a palace was suppressed on the ground, unable to move.
This is the "Sea God" Kavatuwa.
"'Book of Calamity'?" Chumen looked at the Book of Calamity in accordance with a certain connection, ignored it, and instead turned his gaze to Reinette Tinekerr who had come before him.
"Tuorzina let you come to see me?" Chumen understood the mummy's thoughts and casually flicked a Dream Gold Coin.
"Go do what you should do."
"..." Reinette Tinekerr silently put away the gold coin, bowed deeply, and then directly transformed into a phantom and left.
Throughout the whole process, She did not say a single word, looking exactly like a certain mummy.
Of course, Chumen did not care about these things and directly stepped into the ruins that Roselle was currently conquering with Bethel.
"This is..." The scene inside the Pyramid left Roselle and the others inexplicably shocked.
Countless white bones were piled up around the perimeter of the altar; judging by their postures, an entire tribe must have had their life force drained by the altar in a single instant.
"Why?!" Even evil gods require believers; it is rare to see such an act of genocide.
"Things related to the Starry Sky are indeed extremely sinister!" Roselle waded a path through the white bones and approached the altar at the very center.
The sight of the altar gradually appeared before everyone's eyes; it was a strange tree with a physical form, composed of human corpses and white bones, covered in countless tumors and flowers, its surface covered in countless human faces, in unspeakable pain, wailing silently.
The moment they saw this tree, Roselle and the others all suffered a terrifying mental shock.
An illusory and brilliant Starry Sky unfolded above the strange tree, within which stars twinkled like individual eyes, and these eyes looked toward Roselle.
More accurately, they looked at the Silver Medal on Roselle's chest.
