Brian looked at the Warbone Tree in front of him, a look of astonishment on his face, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. This bone tree was huge, as if a giant beast that had been asleep for thousands of years was slowly awakening. The ground kept shaking under its movement, and the surrounding air seemed to be compressed by an invisible force, emitting a deep roar.
"My goodness, is this big guy the bone tree from earlier? It's not here to cause trouble for me, is it?" Brian couldn't help but speak out his thoughts.
The Warbone Tree is renowned in the human world, serving as a powerful shield for the Elves and possessing strength at least equivalent to that of a diamond. It is one of the weapons that the Elves use to intimidate other groups. However, at this moment, this ancient tree has inexplicably fallen into hell and transformed into the incomprehensibly powerful Warbone Tree, far beyond their ability to contend with.
"Master, what on earth is this thing? It's too terrifying!" Karl, upon seeing the Warbone Tree, also set aside his arrogance and no longer thought about how to fight against it, but instead suggested that Brian retreat.
"Master, let's run. As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood." Karl was afraid that Brian would misunderstand him as a coward, so he quickly added, "We can't defeat such a terrifying presence, even if ten more of us come. Charging in would be suicide!"
Even the always calm Carter felt despair when he saw the menacing approach of Warbone Tree, unable to help but advise, "Master, the strength of the Warbone Tree is too terrifying. We should retreat."
As for those ravens, they were even more chaotic. The moment they saw Warbone Tree, they panicked and began to chirp incessantly.
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to change owners again!"
"Shut up!" Brian finally couldn't help but get angry.
Hearing the anger in Brian's voice, everyone immediately fell silent, no longer speaking. Their eyes all turned to Brian, waiting for his next command.
"To fight" or "to escape," this simple choice now carried the fate of all of them. Brian knew full well that each decision could lead to different outcomes, and their lives hung in the balance of his thoughts.
Brian kept his gaze locked on the approaching Warbone Tree, its figure appearing increasingly massive and terrifying in the twilight. Gritting his teeth, Brian rapidly cycled through various strategies in his mind, but each attempt ended in failure.
He knew all too well the vast disparity in strength between their side and the Warbone Tree.
A large bird emitting black smoke, ten times the size of a night demon, passed by earlier. However, it couldn't even last a second in front of the Warbone Tree and was swallowed whole by it.
Direct confrontation is undoubtedly a dead end.
However, Brian cannot choose to escape. Once he flees, his territory will be instantly occupied by the Warbone Tree, and he will lose his identity as the Lich Lord and all his powers.
At that time, not only Karl, Carter, and other loyal subordinates will leave him, even those small ravens will scatter and fly away.
Even worse, he would lose control in the human world, and he would completely lose the chance to turn the tables.
This is the tragedy of the Lich Lord - he gained power here, but when he loses it, he will lose everything. Brian took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't back down or escape.
"I'll go and test its strength first," Brian said to his subordinates. "If it really doesn't work... then we're really in trouble."
After speaking, Brian turned into a black light and swiftly flew towards the Warbone Tree. His figure appeared resolute and determined in the bloody moonlight, as if he had already prepared to face any outcome.
All eyes in the room were closely following Brian's figure, filled with tension and worry. Brian's life or death would determine their future.
Carter watched as his master charged alone towards the Warbone Tree, feeling a surge of indescribable emotion. He knew he couldn't just stand here and wait for the outcome. Looking around, he took a deep breath and said, "This time, it's not just for our master, but for ourselves. We must step forward to help him, even if we can only contribute a little bit of strength."
After speaking, Carter didn't look at anyone else's reaction and directly rushed towards the Warbone Tree with Nightshade. His heart was filled with determination and courage, knowing that this was their only chance.
Brian was flying alone when suddenly he felt someone else beside him. He turned around and saw Carter with Nightshade appearing next to him.
"Master, I'm here to assist you with all my strength," Carter's voice was full of determination and courage.
A warm feeling surged in Brian's heart. He hadn't expected that at this moment, Carter and Nightshade would choose to fight alongside him.
"Hey, don't be loyal all by yourself," a familiar voice came from beside him. Brian turned to see Karl flying over with a group of ravens.
"Master, I'm here too," Karl said with determination and courage in his voice.
Brian looked at them, feeling deeply moved. He knew that at this moment, they were no longer just master and servant, but comrades facing life and death together.
"Good, with your help, I am more confident," Brian said.
Then he continued, "Did you see that bird, larger than the Nightshade, earlier? That was the Dark Inferno Divine Eagle, with strength surpassing the Golden level.
But that's not the main point. The main point is that after the Warbone Tree ate it, its pace noticeably slowed down."
Karl listened and suddenly realized, "Yes, master. When you subdued the raven, there was no movement from the bone tree at all. It only acted when you said you were going to take the raven away. And now it has followed us here. Could it be..."
Brian nodded in confirmation, "Yes, I suspect that the Warbone Tree has long relied on the raven flock to capture Undead to sustain its power. Now, when I proposed taking the raven away, it felt threatened, so it intervened to stop us."
Nightshade suddenly realized, "So, it has been relentlessly pursuing us because the master intends to take away the raven flock?"
Karl eagerly interjected, "So if we just send the raven away, the Warbone Tree won't chase us anymore? Wouldn't that mean we can escape unscathed?"
When everyone heard this, a glimmer of hope shone in their eyes. Just a moment ago, they had resigned themselves to certain death, but now they saw a glimmer of life. This huge contrast made them somewhat incredulous.
However, Brian spoke calmly, "No, I don't intend to send Raven away."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned and speechless.
In an attempt to ease the sudden awkward atmosphere, Karl tried to joke, "It seems like the host is quite sentimental, unwilling to let go of the raven flock after only half a day of interaction."
Other people are also at a loss, especially the ravens, they whisper to each other, "What should we do, should we follow this new master, or go back to the side of that big guy?"
Their discussion attracted the displeased gaze of the Nightshade, and the ravens quieted down.
Brian ignored their discussion and said to Nightshade, "Do you remember why we had raven feed bone tree with skull in the first place?"
Nightshade thought for a moment and replied, "Because bone tree has shown signs of bearing fruit again, especially recently, the fruits are almost ripe."
Brian nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's the solution I had in mind."
He continued to explain, "We just need to keep feeding a large number of soul-infused creatures to the bone tree to make it stop and gradually return to its previous state."
It will not only not attack us, but also, we can harvest those fruits! Those fruits are the treasures that allow us to use the deathly flame!
