Chapter 51: Humanoid
Groot struggled to get up from the ground, vaguely remembering that he had fallen from the Dragon Eagle Tower
However, he didn't feel hurt in the slightest, and he couldn't see a single bruise or scar on his body
He was a little confused
What's going on? Falling from more than 1,000 meters is not so safe, is it that the ground is made of cotton?
However, he noticed that he had knocked a small crater out of the ground
Groot snapped into what had happened a few seconds earlier
Ah-----h
He fluttered his hands and fell down from the vine tower, this time with no branches to cling to
Groot was desperate, waiting for death to come
It didn't hurt that much beyond his imagination, just for a moment, his internal organs seemed to have been slammed
Then there was a muffled grunt, and his eyes went dark
Groot stood up as he cocked around, ready to call out his summon beast, but that's when the strangest thing happened
Twin Wolf Brothers, Vine Lily]
Groot urged the spiritual power and released it again and again, however, no summoned beast appeared at all
What's going on]
He looked at his hands, and the beast pattern on them had suddenly turned the most basic white, and his own level had already become one!
Wow, no, how did I become a first-level, how did I become a first-level]
Groot hurriedly sneaked into the beast spirit space, and it was empty, as if it was the first day he had come here
He threw himself on the rune table, once again startled by the sight before him
It's over, it's all over]
None of the rune stones on the rune table were unlocked, just like brand new
I'm born again?!]
Groot couldn't believe his eyes, all my efforts, all in vain?
He broke down and roared
No--I'm not reconciled--]
However, at this time, beside him, several beetles had already smelled the aroma of food and came to Groot's place
Groot could only stand up and face these monsters again, but even he didn't know if he could beat them
He clenched his palms into fists and rushed towards the beetle, using all his strength to attack the beetle's shell
However, the current level 1 self is no match for the beetles at all, and is constantly knocked away by them
The continuous injuries made Groot's senses dull, and his limbs became less and less obedient
When the last trace of consciousness dissipated, Groot only felt that his body was burning, as if he was being roasted on a fire, and the color of his skin turned gray
The repeated failures made him desperate, and although Groot went crazy and attacked the monsters around him, he couldn't help but be hit by the monster force and flew backwards
I don't know how long it was, how many times he died, his whole body became dark, and the skin on his body became like burnt, and his body was covered with scars and cracks, like a dry riverbed
Groot doesn't know how long it hasn't been a long time, he's just like a walking corpse, in the spirit world, I don't know how long it has been
There is no sunrise and sunset here, only the constant cycle of life and death
Groot watched as people like him ran out of the woods, presumably bewitched by the dragon eagle as well
Some people have waded across the River Styx, others have not
Some were eaten by beetles, while others climbed the vine tower
Of these thousands of people, only a few dozen have been blessed by the dragon eagle, and they, like Groot, have not escaped from their bondage and are trapped here, eventually becoming part of the River Styx
On this day, a small beetle walked by him, but the beetle didn't even look at him, and had long regarded this piece of non-nutritious thing as a part of the environment
The last shred of reason tells Groot - quick, eat him!]
He slowly staggered towards the beetle, like a dead tree moving forward
At this moment, a long giant hand stretched out from the black river and grabbed at Groot
A soft mud monster with a sheep's head stared at Groot with dozens of eyes in front of its brother, and it was bound to win
However, his body, which had been burned a thousand times, was still as solid as steel, and he hammered it towards the beetle
Crackle】
The beetle's back shattered like glass, and Groot's eyes saw that instead of internal organs, there were beautiful clusters of yellow light
After countless tortures, he has long since lost sight, and can only perceive the energy around him with his soul
Groot swallowed the energy mass into his body
A miracle happened
At this moment, all the energy washed over Groot's long-dried body like a flood
His dry surface seemed to melt and stick together, and he became a faceless man, with no features, no skin, and only a dark body
He jumped backwards, dodging the sheep's head monster, and after a moment, seemed to be out of the monstry's pursuit
Although Groot lost his five senses, his way of observation became more pure, he lay on the ground, grasped everything around him with his limbs, and observed this dangerous environment with his soul
Even he didn't know that the level was slowly rising, and as he ate more and more yellow energy clusters, the level gradually increased
Now it has surpassed the previous level, jumping to thirty
However, after reaching level 30, you can't go up again, as if you have reached a bottleneck
Groot began to challenge the more powerful beetle, and he chose a guy about his own size
The beetle heard the movement and lunged at him
However, Groot had become extremely swift by this time, and his limbs were like springs, which could change direction and speed in an instant
The beetle couldn't see where he was, and Groot appeared on the beetle, swinging his fist at it, destroying its surface structure
EulerOuraOura】
He couldn't speak, just made some strange sounds from his original throat, as if it was a catharsis for the pain he had suffered for so many years
Groot saw the golden energy in front of him, which was scattered and gathered by himself, and he absorbed all this energy and started the next hunt
The energy gradually accumulated in his body, his epidermis, and the appearance of his body were changing, and finally this energy could no longer be contained
Smack】
There was a very small sound coming from the body
Crackle】
I saw a slight crack in Groot's black shell
Click--]
The first shard fell from his face, and Groot opened his left eye
His eyebrows and hair had turned white, and his eyes had turned orange, filled with energy
But Groot had indeed lost something about being human—at least in his eyes
At this time, it may be more accurate to describe him as a wild beast, hunted for a long time, become a prey, be destroyed, and be captured
The pain and hatred that had accumulated for years finally erupted at this moment, and he pierced through the bodies of all the beetles, and he used all the techniques
Surrounded by crumbs and juice and, of course, energy
Just as he was about to fight the sheep-headed monster, a black door opened behind him and sucked him in
