Chapter 135: Spirit Tree (b) (1/2)

Why? It had realized that he wasn't someone it could mess with without suffering heavy consequences. If it could easily kill him, it wouldn't have retreated so easily. But now, it didn't want to fight him anymore. After all, it didn't have the determination to fight to the death.

”Do you think you can come and go as you please? Since you've attacked me, you better give up your life!”

Stamping his feet on the ground and moving his body around the trunk of the trees, he chased after the branches.

The spirit tree that was camouflaging itself in the center of the trees that looked like it sensed him chasing after its branches.

It knew that if he founds out where it was hiding then things won't end well for it.

Left with no choice but to fight, it directed the spiritual energy into the azure spirit marks at the center of its trunk.

The very next instant, it brightened up, and a clear, crisps noise sounded out, echoing far and wide, reaching even Elliot's ear.

Vroom!

Before he knew it, a green circle with countless speckles of light appeared below his feet.

In the blink of an eye, each of these bean-sized speckles turned greed, and when he noticed that, the hair on the back of his neck stood on edge. It was as if terrifying things were going to burst out of the green specks of light.

Trusting his basic instinct, he pressed his feet against the ground and jumped backward, leaving the circle in the split of a second. Right after, his instinct proved to be true.

The specks of green burst into several dozen green vines, and each of them charged towards him. A weird liquid oozed out of them, looking similar to a person's puke.

When that liquid dropped to the ground, it melted the leaves and also the rocky surface, creating a depression of 3 meters.

Elliot saw numerous of such poisonous vines coming towards him and he realized that the spirit tree had abandoned all ideas of hiding itself and was instead coming at him with all its strength, and this made his lips thin into a murderous smile of excitement.

Now, as long as it keeps on attacking him, he would eventually be able to trace one of its attacks back to it. When that time comes, he will repay everything to it tenfold.

As the vines came closer to him, he leaped back. He didn't believe that the poisonous biles secreting out of the vines could hurt him because he had immunity to poison, but the murky and grayish bile was hot and corrosive. He didn't have any immunity against toxins and heat! He would be injured if they landed on him. Of course, he could waste his essence of life to create a shield. But why use that when he can outrun the opponent's attacks?

Although the spirit tree was far away from Elliot, it could still sense him. Naturally, it's because it didn't use its eyes to locate him. Instead, it used its spirit senses to feel where he was and what he was doing.

As it saw it retreating from its attacks, it poured more units of its spiritual energy into the spirit mark, which increased the speed of the vines.
