A city might be flourishing, but the filth where the rats were swimming in the sewers would still be quite disgusting when the pipes were dug up.

It was the same for the old tree!

It looked just like an environment-friendly old tree in the swamp, yet when Mo Fan revealed its true appearance under the mud with the Chaos Magic, the soldiers either fainted or vomited after seeing it. It was so disgusting that the people felt like their throats were stuck with bones as they breathed!

The dead soldiers were not moving on their own, nor were they turned into Undead.

They were already dead, but their bodies were stuck on the branches, which was controlling them to drag their comrades into the mud, too!

At first, the claws were grabbing at the soldiers to prevent them from breaking free.

The claws then controlled their corpses like string puppets. The dead bodies were stronger and were able to move around more freely.

The Life-Hanging Flies’ job was to decompose the dead so that the Skeleton Demon Tree could absorb their nutrients.

The Skeleton Demon Tree had to control corpses manually, so their movements were as stiff as puppets. After they decomposed into skeletons, they would become part of the Skeleton Demon Tree after their bones were connected to it.

The Life-Hanging Flies were the Skeleton Demon Tree’s digestive system!

They were active in the swamp close to the Skeleton Demon Tree. They would quickly reserve a seat on the Skeleton Demon Tree’s prey as soon as targets entered its territory.

The people only knew they were close to death when they saw the Life-Hanging Flies. They had no idea how they actually died, nor what happened after they fell into the mud.

The locals treated the Life-Hanging Flies like a curse, yet little did they know, the Life-Hanging Flies were actually the culprit’s gastric juices. The soldiers were already inside the culprit’s stomach after setting foot into the swamp!

The soldiers who had died not long ago only had small amounts of flesh left.

The Skeleton Soldiers started moving again under the control of the leaves. They sounded like the annoying clanking of a few hundred metallic shelves knocking into one another.

The tree was turned upside down, revealing its true appearance in front of the soldiers. However, it did not seem embarrassed or panicked, as it was controlling its skeleton puppets to stare back at the soldiers instead!

Killing its enemies with traps would leave them confused, but since its disguise had already been torn apart, it did not mind hunting the soldiers directly!

The old tree was able to turn its trunk around. It started spinning like a machine.

Its branches were flung wildly, carrying the skeleton soldiers who were stuck on them.

White bones, bones that still had rotten flesh on them, claws that were moving around freely, and a few hundred skeletons soon formed a huge tornado!

The sight was rather terrifying, yet for some reason, the skeletons were like enjoying a ride on a carousel in Mo Fan’s eyes.

Mo Fan shook his head.

Perhaps the old ladies had been showing off their wishes when they were young on the Internet lately, so Mo Fan assumed the dead bodies also had a wish to enjoy a ride on a carousel before their deaths.

But not everyone could remain calm and collected like him in a situation like this. Many soldiers of the Federation were vomiting white froth. Their eyes were full of the creature’s ghastly appearance, and they could no longer think of the Magic Orbits. Their minds were filled with the sight of the bones and claws.

“I swear I won’t take another look at the monster again.”

“I swear I won’t turn into a part of that monster even if I die.”
