[111] The strange tree of life
The middle-aged man's name is Eddison.
Hundreds of years ago, he was not a big shot in Emerald City, but just a businessman who was good at ease.
He was rich, but for the nobles, he was just a pawn dealer who often brought interesting new things from other cities, and his status was only a little higher than that of the civilians.
If the nobles are unhappy, their life will be as fragile as a candle and cannot withstand such a storm.
In this gorgeous and cold city, no one would sympathize with a businessman like him.
And the change starts one night.
That night, in order to flatter a noble, he drank more than ten kilograms of kumquat wine with the noble. On the way home, he accidentally fell into the well in the square.
During the fall, his arm was severely scratched, leaving long blood marks in the well, and in a vague manner, he gained a lot of strange knowledge.
When his servant rescued him, he had gained quite a lot of interesting knowledge.
This knowledge is very scattered and difficult to form a system, and there are even countless strange symbols of unknown significance, which are secrets that he cannot interpret.
It took him several months to gradually understand the knowledge he had gained and to determine the authenticity of this knowledge.
He went down the well to study several times in the middle of the night, but he did not get more knowledge.
He was impatient and wanted to study these valuable knowledge openly, so a bold idea emerged in his mind, and this idea had hope of success because of the knowledge he had gained.
This plan is called the "Tree of Life" Supplementary Plan.
As he said, he exhausted the accumulated property of several generations and tried his best to develop most people in the Jade City into wasteful people who were used to eating and drinking for free. In the end, everyone in the city became nutrients to the tree of life.
He also gained a lifespan of nearly infinite and could have a long time to study the secrets underground.
He did not take Xiao and the others seriously, because the tree of life is one and he is one existence. With the help of the energy of the tree of life, he is a god in this city.
"Or how can you try it? Can I raise me too? Actually, I'm very easy to raise."
When Eddison was proud, Long Na suddenly couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, but her so-called low voice was not small in everyone's ears. After all, there was no one else in the whole city, and only their voices were quiet.
Eddison was stunned, then his face was unhappy, thinking that Longna was provoking him. After all, who would dare to ask him to provide for him after hearing what he said?
He stretched out his hand, and a red energy immediately formed a huge palm, and he manipulated his palm to grab Long Na.
Originally, he wanted to grab Long Na and pull it in front of him, and then directly squeeze it out under the other party's horror expression, but Xiao and the others were actually all vigilant. As soon as the energy palm appeared, everyone retreated one after another and quickly dispersed.
This speed is not like an ordinary person.
Eddison narrowed his eyes slightly, then manipulated his energy palm and turned into a long whip to sweep towards Longna who jumped to the roof.
"Look, meteor!"
Suddenly, Trevor roared and pointed at the sky at the same time.
Eddison frowned and looked up, and saw a huge meteor hammer falling from the sky. He quickly contracted all his energy, held the sky with both hands, and manipulated the energy to form a shield.
boom!
With a loud bang, the meteor hammer hit the shield hard, causing a second round of explosions.
At the moment the explosion began, Jin Dong also moved. He did not approach Eddison rashly, but threw his axe directly at Eddison.
At this time, Eddison had all his strength to resist the meteor hammer, and had no spare energy to block the axe. When the axe was spinning and slashing, a branch blocked Eddison, just in time to block the axe.
"go!"
At this moment, Long Na suddenly raised her hand and threw the spear in her hand out.
The angle she looked for was very tricky, and the purpose was not to kill Eddison, but to severely damage Eddison. Therefore, the position of the spear attack was biased towards the waist, and it happened to be under the axe of Jindong's attack.
The branches that resisted the axe for Edison could no longer extend downwards, and there were no other branches around, and there were still explosions above them, so Edison could not defend himself at all.
In fact, everything is very fast, much faster than the text description. From the drop of the meteor hammer to the Jindong attack, it is only a few breaths, while Longna's attack is no more than three seconds after the end of the Jindong attack.
Eddison watched the spear shoot, and there was no way to avoid it. The kidney was directly shot through by the spear. Then Long Na raised his hand, and the spear immediately burst out with a wave of lightning, and exited from Eddison's waist and flew back to Long Na's hand quickly.
As soon as the spear went in and out, Eddison's wound was very terrifying, and the spine could be seen vaguely.
"Sa?" Xiao frowned and looked at So.
So had a shot that was dead. It was the best time to attack, but So didn't shoot.
"It's not the best time yet, you can't shoot." So whispered through the team channel. This was her intuition. If you shoot now, you will definitely not be able to kill Eddison.
Eddison dared to take Longna's spear, but on the one hand, it was because he had no time to defend himself. On the other hand, it might be because although the damage was serious, it was not enough to kill him instantly.
If it is a fatal attack, he will definitely have a way to avoid it.
This is Sa's judgment.
The explosion caused by the meteor hammer was over. At this time, the tree of life fell rapidly, and suddenly the dense branches rolled up Eddison, and several branches were even inserted from Eddison's back, and Eddison's wounds healed quickly.
"Who are you?"
Eddison gasped, wiped the sweat beads secreted by the pain, looked at Xiao and Trevor, and finally asked.
Just after hundreds of years, how could people outside become so powerful?
The meteor hammer thrown by Trevor just now is so powerful. If it weren't blocked and exploded in mid-air, even if the tree of life has extremely tenacious vitality, it would be seriously injured if it was hit on the front.
Jin Dong's axe and Long Na's spear both have destructive power far beyond imagination. There were five such powerful people, and he was a little confused.
This is completely different from the mercenary team and the hunter team in his memory, and it is a bit too strong.
The branches of the Tree of Life are as hard as those of fine iron. At that time, the Emerald City was not without resistance, but in front of the Tree of Life, the bark was not even cut.
Jin Dong's axe had cut into the branch three points, which was a terrible signal and a problem he was worried about.
Once the tree of life is not invincible, then he is in danger.
"He's scared."
Trevor saw Eddison's fear and whispered in the team channel.
He found that he seemed to see Eddison's emotions, and even had an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Eddison. Although Eddison was particularly rampant at the beginning, the subsequent changes all had a sense of visualization.
For example, Eddison is a little scared now, and he can tell at a glance.
The owl didn't see it, and he asked, "How do you know?"
"Yes, he didn't even have any expressions. He should have become cautious, right?" Jin Dong echoed.
Trevor frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I just feel that he is afraid."
"He is afraid or not he has anything to do with us. Is it because he is afraid that we will let him go because of his fear?" Long Na said seriously.
Trevor complained: "Who asked for a storm just now?"
"I'm provoking him!" Long Na blushed and forced herself to hold on.
In fact, she didn't react. After the fight started, she realized that Eddison had killed many people. Then she thought of the Dragon Bone City, which was destroyed by lions and bees, and then she truly understood Eddison's evil.
Human joys, angers, sorrows, and happiness may not all take effect immediately. Some emotions actually need to be understood and time to express them.
Many people do not have much realism when their relatives die, and they cannot even cry immediately like most people. However, after a while, they gradually realize that their relatives are really no longer around, so they gradually become sad.
The emotion is like a sugar put into water, which does not melt instantly, but slowly merge into the water.
Long Na is the kind of person who is slow to react, so she is only gradually getting angry and angry now.
"Okay, then just think you're provoking." Trevor said perfunctorily.
Long Na held the spear and shouted: "That's a provocation, not a provocation."
Then she threw a spear at Eddison again, but this time it was easily blocked by the branches, so she had to wave angrily to recall the spear.
"You have only these methods, so you all will die here." Eddison saw that Longna was still the same, but simply threw a spear and said with a squint.
This is a test, and it is also the truth he hopes for.
He manipulated the tree of life to change the form of the tree of life. The roots of the tree of life quickly climbed out of the well and formed six thick legs.
If he had changed the form of the tree of life just now, he would not have to hold on to Trevor's attack.
The life tree had just changed its shape, and a meteor hammer hit the front, and the energy immediately formed a shield to resist. Then it exploded. The roots of the life tree could not take root on the earth, so the explosion shocked the life tree several steps back.
At this time, three red tentacles stabbed out from both sides of the explosion and attacked Longna, Trevor and Jin Dong respectively.
"go!"
The owl took action.
In an instant, the sword of the sword flew out and turned around in the air. Three energy tentacles broke directly. Then the sword of the sword broke into the explosion smoke, and then the smoke covered it and stabbed Edison's head.
The owl had long released a red line and locked Eddison's position through different angles, but Eddison could not see the sword of the sword in the smoke of gunpowder.
This sword is very sinister.
Before Eddison could react, his eyebrows were stabbed by a sword in his slash. The long sword instantly passed through Eddison's head without a drop of blood.
"How... possible?"
Eddison widened his eyes, and his last thought was how could he die, and then his consciousness was instantly extinguished.
When he died, the tree of life was still as if he had lost his soul.
It seems that everything is over.
"Xiao, your sword is too strong."
Trevor looked at the sword in Owl's hand and said in amazement.
Just now, there was an energy shield ahead of Eddison. The shield could not even be knocked out by the meteor hammer, but the Elephant Sword could easily break through and even kill Eddison in seconds.
This shows that the Owl's Elephant Sword is countless times stronger than the Meteor Hammer.
"Don't be careless, it's not over yet."
So stared at the tree of life and suddenly said on the team channel.
