The entire space became intense because of the silence.
As he was close, Ye Zhongming had to look up to look at that face.
“This is the intelligence of humans?”
The female face was expressionless, and even the voice was calm.
Ye Zhongming didn’t say anything, but he knew this had nothing to do with intellect. It was just an accumulation of experience from his last life. As an outsider, it was also easier for him to think from other points of view.
He was roughly 20 meters away from the main body.
“I just don’t understand. Why not eat all the humans and use them to evolve? Why seal this city? More humans would be better for you, right?”
This was Ye Zhongming’s question. Death King Tree’s actions would reduce the amount of prey it had and didn’t match the craze that mutated lifeforms had toward evolving.
“I only agreed to answer one question.”
Ye Zhongming shrugged, “Then you should tell me about the Life Brain.”
“Life Brain…”
Death King Tree repeated, and its giant branch started to shake. Ye Zhongming nearly took a few steps back, fearing it would attack.
But moments later, four branches appeared from the stem dragging something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was white tissue with many holes. Its oval shape resembled a brain.
“You are talking about this?”
Death King Tree asked.
Ye Zhongming didn’t know if this was what the people in Linhai were referring to, but looking at the shape, it was possible.
He nodded, “What is this?”
“That is my source.”
Ye Zhongming was tempted.
He had heard about the source in his last life, and it was often produced in the bodies of some special mutated lifeforms. For example, the soul pearl that Ye Zhongming had seen. It was one type of source.
If this was the Death King Tree’s source, could he just remove it? Ye Zhongming was suspicious.
Ye Zhongming looked enviously and took a few steps forward, “Can I touch it?”
Death King Tree’s human face smiled, “Sure.”
Ye Zhongming reached out as if he wanted to touch it quickly.
But the muscles under his shirt tensed up.
Behind the stem, a dozen roots had pulled out from the ground and were moving forward.
The two of them, or rather, one man and one tree, understood that both sides might be able to talk, but there wouldn’t be peace.
They were on opposing sides. The defender and challenger.
Both sides knew what each other planned. They wanted to use their advantage to kill each other.
Death King Tree controlled a city and was a ruler. Ye Zhongming was alone and here, proving he had the right to challenge him.
Both sides were probing each other’s situation so that they could deal the final blow.
Now, they chose the same time.
After the roots were pulled out from underground, they pulled back and charged from both sides of the stem.
At the same time, Ye Zhongming slapped toward the stem of the Death King Tree.
“Ah!”
Death King Tree’s face screamed. It felt a shocking aura spreading from the guy’s hand. That was something it had never felt after ruling Linhai.
The roots on the sides pulled out from underground, pulling up large amounts of dirt. These roots attacked Ye Zhongming.
Humans were too small in front of the King Death Tree, not only in strength but in size.
Ye Zhongming was already very tall but was not as long as a branch in front of the Death King Tree.
Together, These roots could hit Ye Zhongming before he touched the main body.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe sighed and chose to dodge.
Darkness flashed in his eyes, and exquisite black patterns appeared on his body. Ye Zhongming activated the Basic Hell Envoy Bloodline.
At the same time, the demon energy crystal gun appeared in his hands.
When Ye Zhongming faced the Death King Tree, the gun was the only thing he thought about that could hurt it.
He pulled a trigger, and the darkness energy bullets flew towards Death King Tree. At the same time, he used the Lethal Gun Artist’s job skill, which caused the bullet to touch the closest root instantly.
The Death King Tree screamed.
These roots were the roots of its main body, the core area. The purple weapon injured it and directly caused it pain.
Gunshots fired, and the roots smashed down at him. Both of them entered an intense life-and-death battle.
Ye Zhongming held a gun and a blade in one hand. He moved every second to try to avoid the roots. With his strength, he couldn’t gain any advantage when they clashed.
It had been a long time since he was at such a disadvantage, so he felt very frustrated.
But this frustration was far from over. He was tossed far away after a root broke through his defense and smacked his body. During that process, many roots hit him again.
He tried to control his body and stumbled back. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
On the other side, Death King Tree’s main body joined in the attacks, and those roots rose up. On the ground were dozens of broken pieces.
“You are strong.” The Death King Tree spoke again, but be it expression or tone, it was different from before. It was fierce and ice cold.
“But only that!”
Hundreds of holes appeared on the shiny branch, and green gas spat out from inside. The gas floated in the air and covered the space, forming a green cloud.
There was a flash like it was nurturing a bolt of lightning. After which, lightning-like things shot out from within.
“It has been a long time since I fought properly. You excite me. Taste my strength. I gave it a name, World… Nature!”
