Chapter 136: Spirit Tree (c) (1/2)

Those were the very last ones of the vines that attacked him. Now that he had chopped them up, causing them to be unable to move and be a threat to him, he could finally focus on hunting down the spirit tree, which was the mastermind behind all of this.

He descended from high above, and with a few spins, lowered the speed at which he was going down. He landed an adequate distance away from the mess of vines and acidic, rocky surface corroding juices.

Intending to find the spirit tree, he looked around, only to realize that it has long since retrieved all of its branches. While he was fighting the vines, the spirit tree covered all traces that could lead to it. Now, he has lost a way of finding out where it was hiding.

”What a sly fox!” Elliot's brows furrowed in dissatisfaction.

Looking at his reaction from afar, the spirit tree that looked like any other tree as even the spirit mark on its trunk has vanished, thought that it has successfully covered its track and was now safe from being found out by him.

However, it still kept on looking at him by using its spiritual senses.

It was intent on knowing what he would do. Would he look for it? Would he just go away?

It decided to look away only once Elliot has gone far away from its hiding spot! As only then would it feel safe enough to close down its spiritual senses.

However, it was incorrect! There was no chance of Elliot being unable to locate the spirit tree, after all!

'Although the spirit tree has concealed itself by blending with its surrounding, appearing just like the other trees, and also covered all of the traces leading to it too, I can still find it by using my God's eye of Wisdom.' Wordlessly, he stood in his spot.

He knew that it was going to take time to locate it by using such a method. Yet, he had no hesitation. The prospect of hunting down a spirit tree was too great. He didn't know what type of treasure he would get from killing one, but he was sure that it would be something like no other.

He moved ahead while looking at the surrounding trees with the intent of knowing whether they are spirit trees or not.

He moved ahead while looking at the surrounding trees with the intent of knowing whether they are spirit trees or not.

He believed that the spirit tree must be somewhere here. Maybe within a mile of him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to senses it, much less attack him.

With each passing second, he gained plenty of knowledge, about his surrounding, about the trees, about the leaves, and much more. Most of the trees in his surroundings were 600-700 years old, and these trees gain a soul and become intelligent after absorbing spiritual energy for a thousand years. Then, not only do they become dangerous but also a vault of treasure.

As he dashed past a row of trees and a group of trees centering a thick tree entered his eyes, he abruptly came to a halt.

No doubt, the spirit tree was right in front of his eyes.

Thanks to his right eye, he managed to locate it.

He kept his eyes on it, this time looking at it with the intent of knowing everything about it.
