Karl and Carter's voices were filled with fear and disbelief as they watched their master Brian dissipate from the blow just now, a feeling of indescribable despair surged in their hearts.
"How could our master be dead? What should we do next?" Carter asked with a trembling voice.
Karl looked at the gradually dissipating smoke in the air, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "Yes, we have lost our master, where should we go from here?"
The ravens, on the other hand, appeared indifferent. They had long been accustomed to changing masters, and they did not feel much sadness for Brian's death.
"Hey, I'm going to Lava Emperor because I heard that taking a lava bath there is especially relaxing!" exclaimed a raven flapping its wings excitedly.
"I'm heading to the level of hell where the Enchantress Queen resides. I heard there are a lot of succubi there!" another one shook its head, expressing its thoughts.
However, just then, a ethereal voice suddenly echoed in everyone's ears: "Hmph, I'm not that easy to kill yet!"
Everyone was stunned, looking in the direction of the sound, but only seeing an empty space, with no sign of Brian.
Just then, a beam of light flashed, and Brian's body unexpectedly reformed, completely unscathed compared to before!
"This... What's going on?" Karl and Carter widened their eyes, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.
Brian looked at his hands, a hint of relief in his eyes. "Hmph, if I hadn't activated my spirit transformation in time, I would probably have really died just now."
He recalled the thrilling scene just now, and couldn't help feeling a surge of fear in his heart. He made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't celebrate like today and nearly lost his life. This experience was undoubtedly a bloody lesson.
However, what made Brian even angrier was Nightshade's attitude. He angrily thought, "Why didn't Nightshade tell me about the danger of the bone tree? Was he deliberately concealing it, or did he really not know? Was he waiting for this opportunity to try to kill me?"
Brian is full of doubt and anger, he decides to ask Nightshade for a clear answer. At this moment, the ravens are watching Brian stand up again, secretly rejoicing, and at the same time feeling more awe and mystery towards their master's strength.
"Nightshade, what exactly is the Bone Tree?"
Brian's voice was filled with doubt and anger, "It almost took my life just now. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have died here."
The Nightshade's voice trembled slightly, "Master, I really didn't know. All along, I thought it was just an ordinary bone tree. It may have recently gained sentience, so I didn't notice anything unusual."
Nightshade felt uneasy, if Brian thought he was deliberately framing him, that would be terrible. Moreover, he himself had no idea why the bone tree had become so ferocious, the tree where he used to rest day and night, suddenly became so dangerous, making him feel a chill down his spine.
In order to show his loyalty to Brian, Nightshade quickly ascended into the air and aimed a blast of Undead fire at the bone tree. This flame was no ordinary one, it could burn souls, and soon the entire body of the bone tree was engulfed in a pale blue flame, causing the tree to sway violently in the sea of fire.
"Master, look, this bone tree is beyond saving!" Nightshade saw the flames successfully attached to the bone tree and couldn't help but feel a little proud, quickly reporting to Brian.
"My Undead fire is the bane of souls. Once this bone tree is hit, its soul will be burned to ashes," Nightshade said confidently.
However, the next scene left Nightshade stunned and speechless. The Undead fire, which had originally terrified the undead, was now being completely consumed, bit by bit, by the "bone tree," disappearing without a trace.
"How... how is this possible?" Nightshade couldn't believe his eyes. The bone tree clearly belonged to the Undead clan, and their souls should have been its weakness. How could it be devouring its own Undead fire?
At that moment, the sound of "peng, peng, peng" rang out, and the bone tree seemed to absorb a huge amount of energy. Several thick tentacles then emerged from the ground, reaching straight towards Brian, as if it had singled him out and ignored Nightshade and the others.
"Damn, what on earth is this thing?"
Brian took a step back, flew into the air, dodging the pursuit of the tentacles, and overlooking the entire land. The once-standing bone tree was now swaying, as if it had turned into tentacles reaching towards the sky, trying to pull Brian down.
“Why does it keep chasing me? What did I do to offend it?” Brian swung a blade, cutting off the tentacle. However, as soon as one fell, several new tentacles emerged from the ground, heading straight for Brian.
"Darn it, is this entire bone forest all connected as one?" A sense of foreboding surged in Brian's heart.
"We're retreating!" he ordered decisively. Faced with what seemed like an endless enemy, they were no match at all.
Karl and Carter, upon hearing the command, also left without hesitation. If it weren't for Brian being here, they would have left long ago. The towering tentacle-like structures are quite frightening.
Initially, the bone tree didn't react much to their departure, but when the last raven flew away, the entire bone forest seemed to boil over. The ground seemed to be lifted, as if trying to catch every raven. Unfortunately, the ravens are small and swift, and the bone tree's tentacles couldn't catch them.
"Oh my, I'm so scared, why is it so frightening."
"I used to live up there, I didn't expect it to be so scary!"
The raven has flown away, and the tentacles in the bone forest are waving more wildly in the sky, like a rampaging octopus.
"So, he was not interested in me, but in the raven?" Brian looked at the departure of the raven causing the bone tree to go into madness, pondering in his heart.
"Nightshade, what exactly is going on? You have to give me a general idea at least."
Brian returned to his own territory, far away from the eerie bone forest, and finally couldn't help but ask Nightshade. He was full of doubts, such a powerful presence lurking near his territory, and his former self knew nothing about it.
Yeshan seemed a little nervous and scratched his head, saying, "Master, I really don't know."
"When I first discovered this bone forest, I saw a fruit growing on top of it. After eating it, I was able to use Undead fire, so I decided to stay here."
Later, once, a skull accidentally wandered in and I killed it. Surprisingly, the bone tree absorbed it, and then there were signs of it being able to condense fruit. I thought it was an opportunity, so I recruited a group of subordinates, those ravens, to help me catch skulls so that the bone tree could condense more fruit."
Nightshade secretly glanced at Brian, seeing that he didn't get angry, so she plucked up the courage to continue, "I really didn't realize that the bone tree had intelligence before. I always thought they were all separate individuals."
Brian listened to Nightshade's account with a furrowed brow, remaining silent.
At this moment, Carter, as Nightshade's knight, stepped forward to defend Nightshade: "Master, I share a deep connection with Nightshade and I can feel that he is speaking the truth."
Brian's complexion finally eased a little.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "It seems that this bone forest was born with intelligence because the raven caught too many skulls. So he values the raven greatly. When I tried to take the raven away, he thought that as long as he killed me, he could keep the raven. That's why he went crazy and tried to kill me."
"Why does he need a raven?" Brian muttered to himself, "He must have reached a critical point in the number of skulls he's absorbed and can't give up the raven, his helpful assistant in collecting skulls."
"Boom, boom, boom." Distant sounds of explosions drew everyone's attention.
Brian looked towards the source of the sound in astonishment, only to see a Warbone Tree emerging at the edge of the earth! (It's the bone transformation of a war tree person.)
