"The Hanging Tree."

Eren whispered answers Sonia's questions.

"A distant relative of the Treants, and an even more evil and brutal distant relative!"

"You pay attention to Han Ning's canopy, the most terrifying weapon of the hanging tree, hanging under the canopy."

Sonia followed Allen's instructions and looked up closely.

Sure enough, I saw that the crown of the gallowing tree, front and back, left and right, hung down a vine respectively.

Dark green vines, dotted with large clusters of golden flowers.

Each vine is thicker than an adult's thigh!

The vine is twenty meters long, and the lower half hangs down to the ground, like a python, wriggling close to the ground.

A human demon accidentally approached the tree vine, and was immediately entangled and hung upside down.

The man and demon screamed and writhed desperately, but they couldn't get rid of the entanglement of the tree and vine.

In the blink of an eye, all the bones of his body were strangled.

The corpse hung upside down under the canopy, staggering and dripping with blood.

It looks like a death row inmate who has been hanged.

There was a look of realization in Sonia's eyes.

Now, she knew Han Ning's atavistic form...... Why is it called the "Gallows Tree"!

In the middle of the trunk, the huge human face, grinned.

The fifth vine, like a long tongue, sticks out of its mouth.

Entangle the hanged man and demon, drag it back, and put it in his mouth.

The mouth is closed and the chewing is creaking.

Blood, stream after stream, flowed out of the gaping mouth of the tree, which was not very tightly closed.

Han Ning gulped cannibalism, and his face on the bark of the tree was slightly distorted, revealing an intoxicated expression.

In his atavistic form, he always couldn't resist the urge to eat blood.

Eating people can not only repair the damage to his body and the energy squeezed from his flesh and blood, but also help to improve his cultivation.

Usually at the Warlock Academy, in order to maintain his own image, it is inconvenient for him to kill people and eat corpses.

Occasionally, he had to leave the academy and find a remote island to slaughter the indigenous people and feast.

Now that he came to the underground secret realm and was forced out of his atavistic form, Han Ning simply stopped pretending.

No longer resist the evil call in the depths of your blood, and unleash your bloodthirsty impulses!

Four thick vines fluttered at the same time.

The golden flowers on the vines are in full bloom!

Countless golden pollen, dotted with stars, scattered.

From afar, it looks like golden fireworks in full bloom.

"Wow...... It's so beautiful......"

Sonia's eyes widened, her face full of obsession.

A sudden tingling pain came from her arm, which brought her back to her senses.

Alan held a needle and plunged it into Sonia's arm.

"Brother Allen...... You're hurting me! ”

Sonia is aggrieved and protests against his rudeness.

"If you don't want to die, shut up!"

Alan coldly interrupted her and continued to inject the antidote.

"Brother Allen...... That golden pollen, poisonous? ”

Sonia asked tentatively in a soft voice.

Alan pulled out the needle and nodded slightly.

"Poisonous, hallucinating, mad, demonic...... Inhaling hanged pollen, with all the terrible consequences you can imagine, will be realized. ”

Sonia shuddered.

Looking back at the golden pollen diffused in the air, it was still beautiful and magnificent, but there was a bloody smell behind it.

On the circus side, except for the head of the troupe, Ethan, everyone more or less inhaled pollen, and soon showed symptoms of poisoning.

Hercules' eyes were red, and his forehead was bursting with blood vessels.

With his backhand, he pulled out the two machetes that were diagonally behind him, and instead of cutting Han Ning, he turned around and pounced on the puppeteer.

Swing a knife with both hands and slash the puppeteer wildly!

The puppeteer was caught off guard and was stabbed.

Boom!

The cloak was split open, revealing skin, reflecting the light of the knife like smooth metal.

His symptoms seem to be milder, and he can still maintain his sanity and dodge the big knife slash.

Ethan frowned slightly, and his index finger squirted out a stream of mycelium, wrapping around Hercules and injecting the antidote.

After a while, Hercules regained consciousness and wiped a cold sweat.

Looking back at the gallows dancing rattan, anger erupted in his eyes!

"Damn fellow, dare to fool Lao Tzu!"

With a roar, Hercules also activated the third-order atavism!

The height of more than two meters suddenly doubled!

The muscles rolled all over the body, as if snakes were wriggling under the skin.

Thick, thick white hairs grow wildly from the pores.

In the blink of an eye, he had faded into a humanoid and transformed into a four-meter-tall white-haired monster!

Four thick arms, breaking through the leather armor, muscles stretching!

This image, which Eren is all too familiar with, is the four-armed orangutan he encountered on Heritage Island!

Hercules is a third-order "Warcraft Warlock", and the awakened Warcraft bloodline is a four-armed orangutan!

No wonder this guy is carrying four machetes, which turned out to be specially prepared for atavistic form!

The atavistic Hercules is still one size smaller than the Hanging Tree, and his physical attributes are not inferior.

And more agile, climbing and jumping, flexible and free.

This is precisely the biggest shortcoming of the bulky gallows.

The four-armed orangutan dodged the tree branch blows with a beautiful series of somersaults, and pulled out four large knives with his backhand.

Boost the magic, the broadsword buzzes, and the light skyrockets!

First-Order Martial Arts - Demon Armament!

The four magically blessed machetes were temporarily upgraded to level 1 enchanted weapons, just enough to restrain the damage reduction armor of the Gallows Tree.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

Four snowy sword lights flashed staggered.

On the trunk of the tree, four deep cracks opened.

On the hanging tree, Han Ning's bark face was furious, threw out the tree vines, and chased the four-armed orangutan.

The atavistic Hercules backflips and slashes with his sword.

Four big knives, dancing wildly at extreme speed, the blades intertwined into a snow-bright ball of light.

With a sharp cutting sound, the vines that were close to him were all cut off.

The vines stubble, squirted sap, twisted violently, and soon new vines grew.

"Hercules, jump to the canopy."

Commander Ethan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, gave timely instructions.

Hercules followed his advice, squatted, kicked the ground with all his might, and jumped up!

The sturdy body flew more than ten meters high, flipped in the air, and fell lightly on the canopy.

The atavistic Hercules, with a murderous face, waved a knife with four arms, and chopped wildly.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Countless broken branches and leaves fell.

Atavistic Hercules, incarnated as a four-armed orangutan, and fought against the atavistic Han Ning.

At the same time, the puppeteer also took off his cloak and revealed his true face.

Beneath the cloak, a man stood covered in bandages, emitting the smell of mineral oil.

The puppeteer is not only good at manipulating dolls on stage, but he is also a special kind of "puppet".

The warlock school he belongs to, in addition to the awakening of the bloodline, also has a way to strengthen its own power.

Human body modification.

To be precise, it is to mechanize itself.

The puppeteer is more thoroughly transformed.

With the exception of the brain and internal organs, the rest of the flesh and blood, including the limbs, have been replaced with metal parts.

The puppeteer, the third-order "mechanism warlock", is actually a half-human, half-constructed "mechanism man".

When he activated the third-order atavism, the joints under the bandage clicked!

The whole person swelled in a circle, broke the bandage, and exposed the steel-blue torso, which was extremely shiny under the moisture of lubricating oil!

Even more terrifying was his face.

Take off the bandage, revealing a hollow face.

"Hollow" in the literal sense of the word.

Below the forehead, above the chin, between the ears.

Most of the front of the face is occupied by a rounded black hole.

Theoretically, the cave should not be too deep.

Otherwise, it will go through the back of the head.

But, weird......

The puppeteer's dark face is endless!

It seems to be bottomless!

"What kind of monster is the atavistic form of the puppeteer?"

Alan asked Sonia in a low voice.
