Chapter 392 – Origins of Water and Wood (2/2)

Seeing Fatty approaching, Rogue Mentor Sallip felt bitter in his mouth and he looked like he had constipation. He had given Fatty such a mission to let him suffer a little, but the latter contributed meritorious service and was rewarded handsomely because of it. Sallip felt very unbalanced.

“The class enhancement has been completed. Can you change my class now?” Fatty looked at Sallip.

Sallip nodded, and with a wave of his hand, Fatty went from a Magical Bandit to a Blood Killer.

“One more time,” Fatty continued. He had been level 70 for a long time now.

Sallip didn't even give Fatty the class enhancement mission this time and waved his hand to rank up Fatty. The mentor just wanted him to leave as quickly as possible and stop being an eyesore here.

Fatty wasn’t in the mood to make a fuss with Sallip either, he was really busy. Seeing his class successfully promoted, he didn't even learn any skills and went directly to the Teleportation Portal for Azure Dragon City.

Thousands of miles northeast of Azure Dragon City, there was a huge mountain called Azure Dragon Mountain, said to once be the home of the sacred beast Azure Dragon. There were many powerful monsters there. Summoning the Violent Ox King, Wheat, Inky, and the little Ice Phoenix he named Snowy, Fatty rushed into Azure Dragon Mountain.

Fatty didn’t employ the Elemental Movement Arts or Stealth even though it would be faster. Pushing forward all the way, any monster they came across all fell under the gang beating of Fatty and his four pets, giving him very little experience.

In every game, leveling always got slower and slower in the latter stage. After four days in Azure Dragon Mountain, Fatty didn’t even gain 10% experience for his current level. In anger, he stopped grinding and flew to the innermost part of the mountain.

In Azure Dragon Mountain stood a towering azure tree. Pillaring the heavens, its crown was like a sky-blotting umbrella, it covered half of the mountain.

“Hey old man, do you know where the Origin of Wood is?” Arriving at the tree, Fatty dispensed with all courtesy and yelled out.

A huge face 100 meters wide slowly emerged on the tree trunk, its turbid eyes were that of age-old experience. Looking at Fatty, the azure tree let out a long sigh.

“What are you sighing about?” asked Fatty.

“I sigh as I wonder why you’re trying to seek death?” A mouth appeared on the face that kept moving.

“How?” Fatty’s interest was piqued.

“Talking to me like that, aren’t you afraid I’d kill you? While you’re quite powerful, you’re still a little bit from me,” the azure tree said.

“I’m scared, but you can't kill me, at least not alone,” said Fatty. He had the strength to challenge the azure tree, although he would not necessarily be able to defeat it.

“Ignorance is bliss, indeed. Forget it, what am I doing being all competitive with a junior…? You want to find Wood Origin? There’s a little just under my feet. If you can take it, it’s yours. If you don’t have that ability, might as well leave soon as possible.” The azure tree slowly closed his eyes and fell into slumber.

“Right here?” Fatty looked at the foot of the tree. The azure tree trunk could no longer be measured by people’s embraces; it was simply a wall, a black wall. Looking around, one couldn’t see the curve of the tree at all, only a thick dark wall standing in front of them.

“X-Ray.” Fatty took out the Crystal Maze of Terror and cast X-Ray. Below the ground, the glass revealed nothing but a dense distribution of roots of unknown width and length intertwined to form a huge sphere, and inside the sphere was a small green tree over 2 inches tall.

From there, pure green air was sucked into the azure tree by the roots. The azure tree relied on these strange green whiffs to grow to its present stage.

“Wood Origin.” Fatty inhaled a deep breath. With a smile on his face, he disappeared into the ground using Earthwalk.

The azure tree that was originally as cool as a cucumber and didn't take Fatty the little ant seriously suddenly trembled violently. In just a blink, he couldn’t feel the existence of the Wood Origin anymore.

“What's going on? Who stole my Wood Origin?!” The azure tree opened his eyes. A big mouth full of fangs also opened on the rough bark and roared in rage.

“Hahaha, Wood Origin!” Fatty jumped out from the ground and laughed towards the sky. In a few flashes of his body, he disappeared into the distance.

“It's you! You little thief!” The azure tree was furious. Its crown clattered and countless leaves fell from the branches, plunging into the ground like sharp arrows. At the same time, the entwined roots underground danced like dragons as they shot out and attacked Fatty.

“Old man, you’re not a promise keeper, are you?” With the Wood Origin in his hands, Fatty was in such a good mood that he even teased the azure tree while fleeing.

Whoosh!

The ground under the azure tree churned. Countless roots stuck out from the ground and rearranged into something like a pair of legs. Then, with a thunderous sound, the azure tree pulled himself completely up from the ground and chased after Fatty with his new legs.

Fatty looked back to see the azure tree hot on his heels. Crying mama, he ran like crazy. Just as how the azure tree had looked down on him, he was really no match for the tree right now. If they really started a fight to the death, it would be Fatty who would eventually be the unlucky one in the end.
