Chapter 196: The Enemy of Magic
readx;
The other animals in the forest were frightened by the vibrations coming from the ground and fled into the distance, and countless birds flew into the sky, and for a moment the earth shook and the sky and the sun were shaking, and the "cat's eye", which was protected by the big bird and the vaporized swordsman, seemed to be in the dark night, but fortunately for a blind man, such a scene could not frighten him.

The body of the healing magic master was tightly wrapped in the bark of the tree, and he seemed to merge with the towering tree in an instant, and a strange cry came from the center of the trunk. At the same time as the cry appeared, the ground beneath the "cat's eye" began to crack! Countless thick and long roots pierced out of the ground! The roots did not attack the "cat's eye", they gathered together after piercing the ground, and became thicker and larger roots.
The "cat's eye" standing in front of the big tree did not continue to summon more creatures, and the vaporized swordsmen behind him were no longer attacked by the roots, and the leaves were no longer sprinkled in the sky.
The gray-white folded cat "meowed", as if to remind its owner.
"Is this the ultimate mystery of a certain kind of magic? I could see it for myself in my lifetime... No, it's a privilege for anyone who has ever practiced magic..."As if in reply to his own cat, Cat's Eye simply spat out a few words, and the summons that protected him above and behind him vanished.
Countless roots protruding from the ground eventually joined together into four of the thickest and largest roots, which supported the entire towering tree that had left the ground like spider's feet, and became a behemoth like a small castle, standing proudly in the forest.
"The ultimate mystery of healing magic is the mystery of life, and the way I am now is the ultimate form of life!" The voice of the healing magic master came from the big tree, and the towering tree he controlled shook slightly, and countless ice water sprinkled onto the "cat's eye". Cat's Eye didn't hide from the icy water, and his cat hid in his clothes and didn't get wet.
The ice water suddenly became very heavy, and the body of "Cat's Eye" began to sink into the ground, and his legs had sunk half a meter into the ground!
"If that's all you have, you'll eventually become a part of my life, a fertilizer for my life force..."The voice came again, but Cat's Eye remained unmoved.
It wasn't until Cat's Eye's entire body was pulled close to the ground by the weight of the icy water that countless tiny tree roots began to stretch out to Cat's Eye's body, binding his body and pulling it towards the bottom of the towering tree. The "Cat's Eye" also muttered a few incantations before being completely bound, and some vaporized soldiers armed with giant axes jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the four huge tree roots, trying to cut them off.
The body of the "cat's eye" was pulled by the roots of the tree to the bottom of the trunk of the towering tree, where a black hole suddenly appeared, and the body of the "cat's eye" was sucked into the hole! For a blind person, even if he is surrounded by pitch-black trees, he will not feel more fear than ordinary people.
Those vaporized axemen fought around the towering tree, fighting the huge roots, but these vaporized axemen could not hurt the towering tree at all. Although there are many of them, they will dissipate without a trace as soon as they are hit by the roots of a large tree.
Cat's Eye could feel his body slowly being swallowed into the depths of the tree's stomach, and it didn't take long for his position to teleport from the base of the trunk to the center of the trunk, and the body that was undoubtedly the bark appeared in front of Cat's Eye.
"Are you fully awake?" Cat's Eye could feel that the other party's body was not far in front of him, and the trees in the middle were pulled apart by a strange force.
Some very small plant tentacles slowly stretched out from the back of the human body, and slowly approached the various parts of the "cat's eye" body, "In my current form, it is enough to destroy a huge city, even if 100,000 soldiers resist together, I am afraid it will not be able to stop my pace..."
The cat in the "cat's eye" suit jumped out, and the old folded ear cat immediately hid in the clothes as soon as it saw the touch, "If those 100,000 soldiers understand your weakness, they will burn you before you can get close to the city." ”
"You think I'm afraid of fire?" the human body let out a slightly contemptuous laugh, "Fire will only allow me to absorb more nutrients and make my 'body' grow more luxuriant, because the secret of healing magic is to absorb all the energy, absorb all that energy, absorb it again, and eventually become a part of my body... Like this land, it has eternal life..."
"So you're going to send me here just to absorb me too?" Cat's eyes, untied, twitched slightly.
"Of course... Absorbing your words in this place will turn your magic into nutrients to the fullest... But... I'd also like to know if your anti-magic can really pose a threat to the ultimate mystery of healing magic, my final form..."
"At this distance, anti-magic can directly contact your source of magic," "Cat's Eye" opened his eyes, which had turned pure black, and a strange black luster immediately emanated, "Then let you feel its power..."
The large flock of birds that kept flying out of the mountain attracted Ayana, who was resting at the bottom of the mountain, and she wanted to take a break after lunch so that she could have enough energy to continue hunting the elusive leopard in the evening. Unexpectedly, the more violent mountain tremors made it impossible for Ayana to calm down and rest, and she didn't know what caused the violent tremors.
AYANA decided to go up the mountain to find out what was going on, because the violent tremors came from the dense forest in the mountains, and the unusual shaking lasted less than half a minute before stopping, and in the months she lived in the mountains, AYANA had never encountered such a strange thing. Ayana, who had already recovered her body, still didn't plan to return to Dumu City, because she knew that the heavy trauma to her abdomen would follow her for the rest of her life, and some large movements would still make Ayana feel a dull pain in her abdomen. She is also looking for ways to overcome this weakness of hers while returning to life in the forest, and at the same time strengthening her abilities in all aspects, so that when she returns to Fed, she will no longer be dragged down by injuries and can protect Fed.
Ayana walked up the hill to the dense forest, where some small animals were fleeing in a panic, as if they were hiding from hunters. Ayana also took out the balsa bow from her back, vigilant into the depths of the forest. But until Ayana reached the center of the forest, Ayana saw nothing out of the ordinary—except for a towering tree that had fallen to the ground, and the thick withered roots.
The towering tree that had fallen to the ground seemed to have lost many strands, its trunk and branches had lost all its nutrients, its skin was black and dark, but it lay in a very strange "posture" in the middle of the dense forest, as if a giant had uprooted it and thrown it to the ground.
As far as Ayana could see, the roots were beginning to become soft and rotten, and countless small insects crawling out of the forest floor had burrowed into the roots and trunks of the trees, and were beginning their "feast". Some of the smell of decay also rushed into Ayana's nose, and she had to cover her nose with one hand and observe the situation around the "corpse" of the towering tree.
Obviously, the tremor caused by the fall of this towering tree was the cause of the tremor of the mountain. However, there was no human or animal capable of toppling the tree in Ayana's vision, what was it that uprooted it, and why was this strange tree rotting at such a terrible rate?
Ayana jumped lightly onto the trunk of the tree, and she looked up at the sky, where there was no tree comparable to it in the area where the towering tree fell. The last time she had entered the wooded area was the day before yesterday, and she hadn't noticed the tree at the time, but its roots and trunk showed that it was a thousand-year-old book.
The surrounding soil was showing signs of loosening, as if the roots had stirred the dirt when they were brought out by the tree. As Ayana walked towards the center of the trunk, she noticed axe marks on the trunk and roots. Ayana hadn't seen a lumberjack walk up the mountain since she lived in the mountains, and she hadn't seen anyone carrying an axe today, but the axe marks were very new, and they must have been left just now.
Just when Ayana was puzzled, she suddenly heard a cat's meow coming from the trunk of a tree!
She then ran quickly in the direction where the sound came from, and a gray-white cat with folded ears also began to burst out of the trunk of the tree, and kept making a cat meow.
Ayana crouched down in front of the cat and gently picked it up. The gray-white folded cat immediately jumped out of her hand and meowed into the trunk. With years of experience living in the wild, Ayana could tell at a glance that the folded ear cat was not a wild cat, and she looked into the cracks in the trunk of the tree and vaguely saw some colors of clothing.
The cat's meow seemed to reach people's hearts, and Ayana immediately realized that its owner was in the trunk of the tree. She drew her polished dagger and began to dig through the trunk beneath her feet. The trunk was brittle, easier to dig than Ayana had imagined. The human body wrapped in the trunk of the tree gradually appeared in front of Ayana's eyes, and the cat made an even happier meow.
When Ayana lifted the cloth-clad man out from the depths of the tree trunk, the cat began licking the man's face incessantly. Ayana probed the man's breathing, and the other party's heartbeat and breathing were still normal, so he should have just passed out.
"This is—" AYANA looked back into the depths of the tree trunk, where there were several scattered parchment scrolls, "Requiemon?" read one of the parchment scrolls.
