Chapter 332
Because of the magical effect of that diamond, Chen Ziyang, who was the awakener of the dryad, made a short spiritual connection with the dryad when the dark space collapsed.

Although this period of time was very short, in these few seconds, Chen Ziyang obtained a lot of information from the tree demon's brain, coupled with the clues he collected before, Chen Ziyang finally figured out the cause and effect of the matter .

I don't know how many years ago, a diamond from nowhere fell into a tree hole, and the tree slowly absorbed the strange power in the diamond.Many years passed, and the big tree gradually became wise and turned into a tree demon.

At that moment, the Dryad saw a huge blood-colored eye, and after looking into that eye for many years, the Dryad learned the secret of the diamond.

After cultivating this diamond into his talisman, the tree demon was finally able to transform into a human.During the years of the dryad's practice, the mana contained in the diamond has been absorbed by it almost, so the dryad can't wait to go out to find something that can supplement the diamond's mana, that is, human blood and human soul.

After acquiring some blood and souls sporadically, the dryad felt that it was too slow to increase his mana in this way, so it had a bold and far-sighted idea.

That is to keep a large number of people in captivity, and when the time is right, absorb the blood and souls of these people at once, so that you can maximize your mana.Therefore, the ancient country of Yumi, which was suffering from a drought, became the target of the tree demon's captivity.

The reason why the tree demon chose this place is very simple, because there is a lack of water here, not only the lack of water here, but also the vicinity of the ancient country of Yumi.As long as the dryad can provide water, people around will be attracted here naturally, and more and more people will be raised by the dryad.

It's a pity that the tree demon at that time had limited mana, and could only give one person close to the ability of immortality, so after using this ability in exchange for the allegiance of the old king of Yumi, the tree demon settled down here.

Day after day, year after year.With the help of the sufficient water source provided by the tree demon, the ancient country of Yumi became an ancient desert oasis country on the Silk Road. More and more people came to settle here, and more and more caravans gathered here, and the magic power of the tree demon Also getting stronger and stronger.

In order to improve its abilities faster, the dryad became more and more greedy. The food that the old king arranged for it every year was no longer enough to satisfy its appetite, so from time to time, the dryad would absorb a few souls and some blood by itself. .

Seeing that people would die inexplicably every once in a while, the old king already knew that this was the work of the tree demon.Looking at the ancient Yumi country he created with his own hands, and seeing the people of the ancient Yumi country somehow become the nourishment of the tree demon, the old king deeply regretted his deal with the tree demon.

He asked the dryad for a theory several times, but all of them returned in vain. How could the dryad willingly let his painstaking efforts for so many years go.

The old king was very entangled. If the tree demon's request was not met, the old king knew that the tree demon had the ability to kill all the people in the ancient kingdom of Yumi.But if the requirements of the tree demon are met, the old king is not willing to just watch his people become the food of the tree demon.

But seeing the water source provided by the tree demon, and the status and wealth these water sources brought to the ancient country of Mi Mi, the old king forbears it.It is better for some people to die every year than for everyone to die of thirst here.

Although the old king was also worried in his heart, worried that one day the tree demon would kill all the people in the ancient country of Yumi, but he always had a sense of luck, thinking that the tree demon would not be so short-sighted, after all, there was the ancient country of Yumi Here, the dryad will have a steady stream of food, which is better than eating all at once, but having no more food.

In this way, the old king has been wandering between guilt and inability to make a choice for many years, and even he kept changing various methods in order to get more food for the dryad and satisfy the dryad's appetite, thus Save the lives of most of the remaining people.But all of this changed from that day on.

Overnight, with the help of the magical power of diamonds, the tree demon planted seeds in the souls of every captive resident of the ancient Yumi country, that is, during this night, all the people of the ancient Yumi country dreamed of a Huge blood-red eyes, and strange things began to happen from this day.

After this night, people will go crazy or die inexplicably every day.The dead either become like mummies, or they lose their minds and do things that others cannot understand before they die.

As more and more people died and went mad every day, panic spread among the residents of the ancient kingdom of Yumi.Everyone knew that all of this might have something to do with that blood-red eye, but everyone couldn't find out where the root cause was.So everyone puts it all down to a plague, a plague that drives people crazy and dies.

More and more people come to the place where the Virgin Mary lives to perform sacrifices, hoping to be blessed by the Virgin Mary, hope that the Virgin Mary can drive away the disease, and restore the ancient country of Yumi to its former glory.

But the Holy Mother, who had blessed the ancient country of Yumi for many years, seemed to disappear suddenly. Not only did the disease continue to spread in the ancient country of Yumi, but the number of people who died every day was more than the number of people who died the day before, and even after a short while, The miraculous fountain built by Our Lady no longer has clear water flowing out.

No matter how much blood was poured into the diamond, the diamond remained unresponsive, not a single drop of water flowed out of the diamond.This phenomenon exacerbated the panic among the people in the ancient country of Yumi.

The water flowing out of the diamonds can be said to be the foundation of the ancient country and the survival of the people of the ancient country. Without the water source in the diamond, an ancient oasis country with tens of thousands of permanent residents will be like this soon. Lost.

Thousands of people died, and tens of thousands left their hometowns, but these people who left the ancient city either died on the way, or died of thirst in the desert.

The people of the ancient country of Mi Mi fell into a stalemate, whether they left or stayed, what awaited them was death, and their actions were just trying to find a different place of death for themselves.All the people are desperate, they are powerless to struggle, but quietly waiting for their own death.

At this time, several elderly people suddenly remembered the curse about the ancient country of Yumi that had been handed down from their ancestors.

At the beginning of the founding of the ancient country of Yumi, there was such a legend that the Holy Mother came here and used the blood of the old king to transform clear water, saving the lives of everyone, and established the ancient country of Yumi.

Because he used his own blood to transform into clear water and saved the lives of all the people, the king was given endless life by the Holy Mother, and was unanimously elected as the king by everyone.And the king also became the spokesperson of the Virgin.

The old king has said many times that the blood supply to the Holy Mother must not be interrupted, otherwise, the curse will come to this land.

Although this legend about the curse of the ancient country of Yumi is just a legend, and so many years have passed, this legend is still passed down, but fewer and fewer people know it.

At this moment, the ancient country of Yumi has changed from an oasis in the desert to a purgatory on earth. There are so many people who die every day that they cannot be buried in time. If this scene is not a curse, what kind of scene is it? That's right.

The excited people united and came to the front of the palace to confront the old king and ask the old king to explain the reason for the curse.

The old king, who had been suffering for many years, finally collapsed. He knew that no matter what he did, he could not save the lives of the people of the ancient Yumi country.The Holy Mother will kill everyone, suck every drop of blood, and imprison every soul for her own nourishment.

Thinking that all the people he had cared for for many years would soon become the fertilizer of the Dryad, the old king burst into tears, and finally told everyone the truth.

After knowing the truth, the people did not kill the king, but tied the king up and tortured him about other things about the Virgin.For their own lives and for the lives of their loved ones, the remaining residents of Yumi Ancient Kingdom united and fought a fierce battle with the tree demon, trying to defeat the tree demon and regain their lives.

The battle was overwhelming from the very beginning.Although the people of the ancient country of Yumi rushed forward regardless of casualties, but in front of the huge tree demon, their attack seemed so weak.The dryad's thorny roots danced crazily, rampaging through the army of the ancient Yumi kingdom.It didn't take long for more than half of the residents of the ancient country of Yumi to be killed or injured.

However, the attacks of the people of the ancient country of Yumi were not fruitless. Under repeated attacks, some villagers made a hole in the tree monster's huge body, and a large amount of red mist gushed out of the hole instantly.

After inhaling the red mist, the residents who became exhausted from the battle instantly felt that they were full of energy and their whole body was full of strength.After some residents who were slightly injured inhaled the red mist, their wounds healed instantly.

Some villagers found some red plant-like things from the tree hole, and after applying these things on the wounds of the seriously injured people, the seriously injured people recovered their fighting power in an instant.

With red plants and red mist as backup, the army of the ancient Yumi country, which was already on the verge of collapse, regained its combat effectiveness in an instant and continued to fight against the tree demon.

The Dryad, who has practiced for hundreds of years, never imagined that what defeated him in the end was actually what he had been pursuing all along.

With the help of the red plants and red mist in the bodies of these dryads, the army of the ancient kingdom of Yumi finally defeated the dryads after paying a painful price.

The fire burned the dryad's body, and the badly injured dryad had to find a hidden place and bury his natal seed, hoping to wait for the destined person chosen by the diamond to wake him up.

Looking at the burned ancient tree, the old king finally had a look of relief in his eyes.Knowing the relationship between the dryad and the diamond, the old king asked everyone to find a way to destroy the diamond. Only by completely destroying the dryad's natal magic weapon can the dryad be completely wiped out.

But no matter what methods the people of the ancient country of Mi Mi used, they could not destroy this seemingly very fragile diamond.

After telling other people everything he knew about the dryad and the diamond, the old king told them to try their best to destroy the diamond. Within the scope of the ancient country of Yumi, otherwise, the tree demon is likely to be resurrected and continue to do evil.

The people who defeated the tree demon decided to leave the ancient country of Yumi, because this place is no longer suitable for survival, and at the same time, the tree demon does not know when it will be resurrected, and no one wants to stay here.

When these people were leaving, the old king found that some people secretly got some red seeds from the burnt trunk of the ancient tree, and planned to take them away from the ancient country of Mimi together.

The old king, whose expression changed immediately after seeing these seeds, begged desperately, hoping that these people could keep the seeds, and not take these scourges out of the scope of the ancient kingdom of Yumi.

However, the people who had seen the magical effect of these red plants and the red mist, ignored the advice of the old king, and still took away many of these red seeds.

Seeing the backs of these people going away, the old king collapsed powerlessly on the ground. After looking at the torso of the burned ancient tree, the old king instantly aged and staggered away from the ancient tree.

Chen Ziyang, who got this information, saw that the black space around him had completely collapsed at this time, and he was actually standing in the middle of the cave, above the eye-shaped pattern.

As some red mist was inhaled into his body, Chen Ziyang found that his body had returned to normal, and he even felt stronger than ever. What pleased him most was that he found that his left arm was also Back to normal.

Chen Ziyang tightly clenched his hands into fists, and even because he used too much strength, both fists were trembling slightly. This kind of feeling that has been held back for a long time, but now it has regained its new life It felt like Chen Ziyang was so excited, he glanced at the situation in the cave from the corner of his eye.

The three standing people around and one person who fell on the ground all looked at themselves and the tree man in front of them with surprised eyes.Chen Ziyang was not the only one who also returned from a shriveled state to a normal state, as well as the tree man in front of him.

At this time, the half-length tree man growing from the root system also recovered flesh and blood, and the many roots that emanated from the tree man's waist were wriggling constantly, making the tree man look like a huge octopus monster , These roots seem to be the tentacles of an octopus.

And the folds on the tree man's body have all disappeared, and the whole tree man's upper body looks like a naked woman. As the tree roots behind the tree man slowly gather, these roots are coiled and intertwined with each other. Became the legs of the Treants.

And after these tree roots were gathered, behind the tree man, a dark space was exposed at the place where the tree roots were gathered.
