Chapter 745 Thanks to the Blood Tree King for His Selfless Gift (5K)
Above the Great Blood Tree Forest, blood-colored clouds and fog swirled all year round, growing denser towards the core.
This blood fog differed from the Red Mist as it didn't occur regularly but was an external manifestation of Elemental Energy.
Influenced by this, the heaven and earth above the entire Great Blood Tree Forest were also shrouded in an intangible pressure. Even Legendary Realm powerhouses didn't dare to fly over the forest when traveling, often choosing to detour instead.
But now, in a certain area to the east of the Crimson Forest, a patch of blood fog rapidly dispersed.
Through the sparse blood fog, one could see fresh greenery spreading endlessly across the land.
This 'I am the Forest' expansion not only devoured and transformed a vast amount of plant life into nourishment for itself but also tore open a gaping hole in the Crimson Great Forest, ruthlessly severing the internal and external connections of the forest.
Tree Demon Granny hailed from the plant life category, specifically the tree lineage, almost the same type of existence as the Blood Tree King.
How could she not be familiar with the intricacies of the Crimson Great Forest?
The forest was a collective entity. With roots interweaving throughout, the Blood Tree King, situated at the forest's core, could easily interfere and control the peripheral areas of the forest.
Each Blood Tree, each root, and each cluster of blood fog were like threads in the hands of the Blood Tree King.
However, at this moment, in a certain area to the west of the forest, many of these threads had been severed.
Behind them, Lord Treemen like Tree Guard Two and Tree Guard Three, who were leading the charge through the forest, suddenly found their efficiency in transforming the surrounding Blood Trees significantly increased.
The resistance had lessened.
The Treeman Forest then expanded at two to three times its previous speed, with one core section charging like a battleship, unstoppable as it plunged into the Crimson Forest.
This stretch of Treeman Forest didn't pursue complete assimilation; wherever they passed, they left behind clusters of green amidst the blood-red.
At first, the green was sparse, like a few drops of green water on red paper, but the surrounding Blood Trees were like rootless wood, unable to stem the ever-spreading force of the new greenery. It wasn't long before these Blood Trees were utterly strangled.
Meanwhile, Tree Demon Granny's gaze turned deeper into the Blood Tree Forest.
She had just covered a distance of a hundred kilometers in one go, severing the lifelines of the Great Blood Tree Forest.
However, a hundred kilometers was still short. Based on this speed, she would have to traverse dozens of times to reach the core of the Great Blood Tree Forest.
Gathering the Seed of Tree's Destiny dozens of times was no small feat, even with the support of the Treeman Forest.
It would also require a significant amount of time.
Tree Demon Granny contemplated.
The order she received was to strike swiftly and decisively as delays could lead to complications.
The more often a tactic was used, the easier it was for the Blood Tree King to find a countermeasure.
Given that...
Tree Demon Granny decided to cross hundreds of kilometers in one breath, to cut through the lifelines of the Great Blood Tree Forest and directly sever the enemy's limb.
However, the Great Blood Tree Forest was the territory of the Blood Tree King, completely unfamiliar to her.
Directly projecting the Seed of Tree's Destiny several hundred kilometers away was difficult without an exact coordinate, preferably one that was situated right on a junction of the forest's network.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Tree Demon Granny herself couldn't achieve this.
Other War Treemen and Lord Treemen certainly couldn't either.
But she wasn't alone, they were just one part of Tianyuan City's forces.
In places undetectable by the naked eye or even by perception, a faint gleam hopped continuously throughout the Great Blood Tree Forest.
It was nearly imperceptible, even to the Blood Tree King.
It flitted through the vast forest as if it were a part of the Blood Tree Forest itself, leaping and traveling from one blood-colored tree to another.
Only those who were very familiar with it and specifically observed could possibly discern its true identity.
Still, that was limited to discovering its identity.
In the blink of an eye, it flickered erratically, as if using Spatial Travel.
This was a Four-order Peak Nature Spirit.
Part of the Flora Series, an auxiliary class of the Epic Tier troop type.
Tianyuan City was home to innumerable Nature Spirits, Spirits of Flora, Flower Fairies; most of them were non-combat troops, gardeners of the botanical gardens, Tianyuan City's gardeners.
But they were still troops after all. Among the vast numbers of Flower Fairies, there were individuals who loved to fight and could fight.
The Nature Spirit Grass Twig was one of them.
It was a martial spirit among the Nature Spirits. Even the 'Nature's Light' and 'Dew of Nature', which it awakened in its Epic Tier, were combat abilities in its hands.
Right now, it was using a talent it inevitably awakened while evolving through the stages of Spirit of Flora and Guardian of Plants.
—— Fusion with Plants, Communication with Plants.
With the former, Spirits of Flora could freely travel through vegetation, covering a kilometer in an instant.
This was the life-saving ability of the Spirits of Flora.
They might not have been strong in combat, but in an environment rich with vegetation, they were peerlessly adept at survival.
The latter was a talent allowing Spirits of Flora to collect information from all directions through nearby plants and also to communicate with plants.
Inside the Blood Tree Forest, the majority of the trees were just larger, more bizarrely shaped regular trees.
Lacking intelligence, they were easily influenced by the Nature Spirits.
Using such abilities, Grass Twig smoothly navigated through the Blood Tree Forest and quickly pinpointed one of the network nodes.
"This is the spot, Granny!"
"I've received your signal."
The next moment, just as the Nature Spirit Grass Twig left the kilometer-tall Blood Tree and moved to another nearby, the invisible Seed of Tree's Destiny descended effortlessly, assimilating that Blood Tree as one of its own avatars.
