Chapter 553: The Tree of Punishment
"The giant tree planted outside Virgo is the Tree of Punishment of the Elves," Yufka, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin "Thousand-Armed Guanyin" with a human head and body, slumped on the ground and replied dejectedly, "I heard that the Tree of Punishment was given by the Elf King to the people of Virgo City to symbol......ize the eternal friendship between the elves and humans."
"Really, did you see the elves planting that ancient tree with your own eyes?" Wang Xu, who had seen countless Trees of Punishment in the Elven Forest, was very skeptical of the authenticity of what Yufka had just said, because Wang Xu knew that as a defensive tree used by the Elves to guard the fortress, the Tree of Punishment was very aggressive, and no other race could communicate with such a grumpy treeman except the Elves, including the Terrans.

"Don't look a little depressed now, I think back then, I was also one of the big names in Virgo City, I was the chief medical officer hired by the city lord of Virgo City, and I know almost everything in Virgo City!" Yufka, who was originally depressed, raised his head sharply after hearing Wang Xu's questioning of him, with a hint of arrogance on his face, and replied.
After listening to Yufka's account of his noble identity in the past, Wang Xu sneered and shook his head, he didn't believe Yufka's words, Wang Xu just felt that if Yufka said the truth, then, that is to say, the medical level of the human race in that era was a little outrageous, even Yufka, who didn't know anything, transfused blood indiscriminately, and was abducted, could become the chief medical officer of Virgo City, and the city lord who was transfused by Yufka must also be an imbecile.
Just when Wang Xu wanted to ask Yufka if the former city lord of Virgo City was a fool, Nilou, who was sitting next to Wang Xu, suddenly yelled at Yufka: "You are lying! We know that the tree man outside the city has died and then come back to life, I have never heard of it, a low-level tree man like the Tree of Punishment can be resurrected, the Tree of Punishment only has the strength of the seventh order, and it is possible for a tree above the tenth order to be resurrected!"
"This ......" Yufka was momentarily stunned when he heard Nilou's loud question, and then he stammered back, "I ...... It's not clear either, I ...... Not ...... to the Treants Understand, I don't know about it at all...... Why is it resurrected......
"Didn't you say you're a big man in Villego, didn't you say you know everything, huh, liar!" Nilou glared at Yufka coldly, shivering all over.
"I ...... I'm not lying, that's what I know......" Yufka, who felt a biting chill from Nilou's gaze, quickly turned his gaze to Wang Xu, his eyes filled with a sincere plea for help.
"I can't tell if what you said is true or not, this matter will be put aside for the time being, now, you tell us, in the process of the life and death of that magic tree, what happened in the city of Virgo?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" Yufka, who had a more brilliant brain, knew that Wang Xu had just relieved him from the siege, so he glanced at Wang Xu gratefully, and then he quickly answered Wang Xu's question: "In the first month after Virgo City fell underground, the city lord ordered the defenders to arrest the traitors one by one, and it was a terrible day......
After sighing for a while, Yufka continued to recall: "It took about a month or so for nearly 50,000 so-called traitors to be arrested in the city, and all of these traitors were hanged on the Tree of Punishment, because the name of the Tree of Punishment has the word "Punishment", so the city lord just wanted to use the symbolism of the tree to warn the people in the city not to betray again, otherwise, kill, kill, kill, kill ......."
"Hey...... Traitors can't be killed, the city lord of Virgo City is so messy, it will make those traitors who are lucky not to die in the liquidation even more decisive, those people, in order to save their lives, will definitely fight back......" After listening to Yufka's narration, in order to let him take a breath, Wang Xu interjected a sentence faintly.
"That's right, you're right," After listening to Wang Xu's casual interjection, Yufka's eyes widened, looked at Wang Xu with admiration, and responded: "In the next three months, the city lord was assassinated at least six times, and ten times poisoned, and once, the assassin shot the city lord in the chest with a poisoned arrow, and the sore was only an inch away from the heart. ”
"No, what animal blood did you exchange for the lord of Virgo City?" Wang Xu endured his disgust and asked Yufka curiously.
"No, I used human blood, I drained the blood from a traitor's body, and then exchanged it for the lord of the city......" Yufka replied proudly, obviously, he felt that if it wasn't for that blood exchange, the city lord would have hung up, and the city lord survived after the blood exchange, which just proves the greatness of blood healing.
"I'll go, you're really ......" Wang Xu didn't know how to describe Yufka, although Wang Xu's attainments in medical ability were not too high, but he also understood that blood could not be transfused casually, not to mention that it was all replaced, so messy, it could kill people at any time, it is estimated that if it weren't for the traitor's blood type and the city lord is the same, then, back then, the city lord must have died extremely miserably.
"Okay, let's go on, what happened next?" Wang Xu, who was no longer able to complain, took a deep breath and asked Yufka in a low voice: "After being assassinated many times, has the city lord of Virgo City started to catch traitors again?"
"That's right," Yufka nodded lightly, and continued to recall, "In half a year, nearly 100,000 people were killed, and almost one-fifth of the total population of the city was still alive. ”
"Don't tell me, the crown of the Tree of Punishment can hang 100,000 people, even the tallest tree people can't hang 10,000 people......" Wang Xu questioned Yufka faintly.
"Ah......" Yufka sighed and recalled in a low voice, "The Tree of Punishment was just a place of execution, and most of the traitors who were hanged were buried near the Tree of Punishment, where there was no end to the mass graves, and no one knew how many people were buried in that place, and no one knew the names of the people buried there......"
"Then the place became the only place of execution, and for the days that followed, every day people were hanged there, every day ......," Yufka said in a feeble tone of anguish.
"You're lying again," Nilou, who had listened to the story for a long time, asked Yufka again, "The traitors have all been killed, why are there still people hanged there?"
Without waiting for Yufka to answer, Wang Xu, who already had an answer in his heart, shook his head lightly and replied for Yufka: "The massacre has just begun......" (To be continued. )
