1419 This Tree… Has a Mind of its Own! (2)
“We meet again.” Wang Teng smirked.
Ferya sensed a spiritual fluctuation sweeping out of the huge tree, but she didn’t know who was causing it. She frowned. “Who are you talking to?”
Wang Teng raised his chin at the huge tree and mocked,”So you’re the tree hiding from everyone!”
“The tree!” Ferya squinted. She understood what he meant, but she was still astounded. The spiritual fluctuation wasing from the tree. She felt dazed for a second before she eximed, bewildered, “Wait, this tree… has a mind of its own!”
!!
“You can say that.” Wang Teng nced at her in approval. The girl was like him.
The universe was huge. nts with intelligence were rare, but they did exist.
Star beasts could be sentient, while some could even change into human form. The same applied to nts.
Some spiritual creatures born under a lucky star lived under the nourishment of heaven and earth, naturally bing stronger over time. If they were fortunate enough to develop intelligence, it would be like striking the lottery.
Of course, the chances of this happening were extremely small.
Once a nt gained intelligence, it became ‘spiritualized’.
Countless droplets of light gathered above the tree, soon condensing to form a stern-lookingdy in a white dress.
She was beautiful. Her nose was sharp and her eyebrows looked like pieces of art. Her gaze remained cold-blooded; it was ufortable to look at.
The tree girl sat on a branch and looked down at the two neers.
Ferya was dumbstruck when she saw thedy. She eximed, “Wow, the tree turned into a demon.”
Thedy in white: …
What is she saying?
What do you mean ‘turned into a demon’?
You’re the demon, your entire family are demons.
She was a rare tree spirit with intelligence. Normal nts couldn’tpare to her.
“It is umon for a tree to gain intelligence,” Round Ball’s voice said, inside Wang Teng’s mind.
“Do you know what tree this is?” Wang Teng asked.
“I don’t know. I’ve never seen a spiritual tree of the light element like her.” Round Ball was in deep thought. It then continued, “Maybe a mutation took ce. Let me see if I can find simr nts.”
“Okay.” Wang Teng nodded.
“Did you kill all my servants?”
Thedy in white spoke coldly, her face expressionless. She seemed to be looking down on all creatures of the world.
However, our hero sensed that thedy was putting up an act. How funny.
The woman was trying to imitate the goddess who left him her legacy. The emtion was crude, though; only their appearance was simr. She was basically turning into the butt of a joke.
“A robber acting like a cop?” Wang Teng scoffed. “You are the one who ordered those light velvet guardians to self-destruct. How can you now say we killed them?”
“They’re my servants; they should serve me and die willingly for my sake,” thedy in white replied indifferently.
“What bullshit is this?” Wang Teng cursed uncontrobly. “Who gave you the right to decide about their survival?”
“So you are the one controlling the light velvet people, causing them to self-explode? What a devil!” Ferya raged.
“Impudent!” thedy in white retorted, “I’m the Mother of Light. Who dares to say I’m a devil?”
“Mother of Light? Seriously? Who gave you the face to make such a im?” Ferya scolded. Wang Teng nced at her from the corner of his eye, astounded by her chastising abilities.
The treedy’s face turned ck.
“You purposely released these ‘seeds’, right?” A glowing ‘seed’ suddenly appeared on the young man’s palm. He continued calmly, “You use them to control other spiritual creatures. How can you call yourself the Mother of Light after such evil deeds?”
“Indeed, you’re the one who destroyed the consciousness strand I left in the ‘seeds’. No wonder I find you familiar,” said thedy in white, coldly.
“Yes, it was me. Are you happy to see me?” Wang Teng smiled.
Thedy in white: ??
Ferya nced at her partner, feeling at a loss.
Why would she ever be happy to see you?
You’re her enemy. It doesn’t make sense for her to be happy upon seeing you.
“I was looking for you, but you actually came of your own ord,” said the treedy in a cold voice.
“What a coincidence. I also came looking for you,” Wang Teng replied.
Thedy in white: …
Ferya felt the corners of her lips twitching, while she wondered what the coincidence was. This guy’s mind works in different ways.
Thedy in white couldn’t bear it anymore. She shouted in her icy voice, “Die!” She pointed at the two warriors.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
Shrill sonic booms were heard. Multiple vines rushed out from the tree, going straight towards Wang Teng and Ferya.
“Are you angry?” Wang Teng darted about, evading the vines with a chuckle.
p!
The vines mmed against the ground, breaking the surface and hurling small rocks into the air.
Wang Teng squinted when he saw this happen.
The vines rebounded, moving to the air after touching the ground. Then, they turned and rushed to stab the young hero. The sharp tips were akin to long spears covered in white light. All of them were aiming for his vitals.
Wang Teng squinted and a crimson colored sword of universe-level appeared in his hand.
...
Swoosh!
He made a downward move and reddish fire force made a sharp sword glow, sweeping towards the vines along with scorching heat.
All the vines were instantly chopped. The vines remaining shrunk back as if having met their mortal enemy.
The treedy’s face was gloomy. A sharp glint shed in her eyes.
At the same time—
The vines also went after Ferya. She used Light Bolt to shuttle back and forth like a ray of light.
The vines moved and intertwined as they hurled themselves at Ferya. Unfortunately, she was too fast; the vines had cast a massive, but the girl was still able to move, free and with ease. The creepers couldn’t even touch her clothes.
The vines became entangled after some time. They squirmed furiously, but they couldn’t untie themselves.
Ferya changed back into humanoid form and pped her hands as if dusting off. She looked at Wang Teng proudly.
“Hahaha, interesting. That method is good.” Wang Tengughed.
Ferya snorted arrogantly.
...
The gaze of the treedy flickered as she asked, “Who are you?”
“Why? Are you afraid?” Wang Teng looked at her and smiled.
“Both of you are quite powerful. I’ll give you one chance toe under my wing,” said thedy in a calm voice, “Join me and I’ll bestow great power upon you.”
“Hahaha…” Wang Teng burst outughing, as if the offer were a great joke.
“Why are youughing?” Thedy in white frowned.
“I’mughing at your ignorance.” Wang Teng stoppedughing and his smile disappearedpletely. He said, “Give us power? You?
“How can you hand out power with that weak ability of yours? Where did you get your confidence?” Ferya stared at thedy in white in astonishment. The idea was absurd.
Critical Hit × 2!
Thedy in white was fuming because of the humiliation. Her face turned green and hideous.
She was the Mother of Light on that. All living creatures treated her like a goddess. Never had she endured such a humiliation!
How dare these two nobodies look down on me!
“You’re tempting fate!”
Her cold voice resounded with immense anger. She gradually rose into the air and floated above the spiritual tree. A powerful energy began to radiate.
Boom!
The impact was so powerful it swept through the peak in an instant.
Universe stage!
The move was of universe grade!
Wang Tengs quinted but he wasn’t surprised. He guessed that the spiritual tree had reached that cultivation level after getting the Light Origin inside the ‘seeds’.
“It’s a spiritual tree with universe stage power! Amazing!” Ferya was dumbfounded when she felt the fluctuations. Her expression looked wary as she said, “Oh no, did we anger her?”
“There’s still time to run,” Wang Teng said.
“Why don’t we run together?” Ferya replied, fearful.
