Chapter 157 Can I Say that I Have Absorbed It? (Two Chapters in One)

Moreover, under the continuous interference of Ryan, the bloody tree spirit was also extremely uncomfortable. The penetrating wound on its body caused by the high-level divine art "Sword of Judgment" has not been completely healed until now.

If it were to follow the previous healing speed, it should have been self-healed five minutes ago.

But now, because of Ryan's interference, the huge wound has only shrunk from the original basin diameter to the size of a fist.

The fundamental reason is that most of the roots that could have been used to heal the wound were cut off by Ryan and fell to the ground in pieces.

The intelligence of the bloody tree spirit is not low. It knows that it can't continue like this.

If it continues like this, it may really be worn to death by the little thing in front of it.

I saw that its upper body suddenly stood up, and the tiny tentacles that were originally squirming inside the penetrating wound on its body suddenly retracted.

The next second, the bloody tree spirit was facing Ryan, performing a special move of flying and death rolling!

Ryan's pupils shrank, and he quickly rolled sideways to avoid it.

Just now, the bloody tree spirit just attacked and swallowed the slightly injured Templar directly into his stomach.

So, although the bloody tree spirit had been fighting with Ryan with its roots, Ryan was always on guard against this big move of the bloody tree spirit.

If this big move hits directly, it can be said that there is no chance of survival!

Sure enough, the opponent used it again.

I saw the bloody tree spirit's bloody mouth passing closely by Ryan. Its huge body and super-fast movements gave it great overall kinetic energy.

In an instant, the nearly 20-meter-long bloody tree spirit passed by like a meteor, knocking a big hole in the thick white marble wall of the temple.

Suddenly, smoke and dust rose everywhere!

In addition, Ryan also discovered that once the blood and flesh tree spirit's main body began to participate in the attack, its self-healing would completely stop, perhaps because of too much energy consumption, or because the main body would tear the wound when launching an attack.

No wonder it had not participated in the attack just now.

The blood and flesh tree spirit stood up again and shook its huge body. It seemed that the action of hitting the wall just now also made it a little dizzy.

However, when it woke up and found that it had not hit Ryan just now, it seemed extremely angry!

After confirming Ryan's position again, the blood and flesh tree spirit roared wildly to the sky.

The next second, the blood and flesh tree spirit inhaled a large amount of air around it, and its whole body expanded twice. Then, from its bloody mouth, it spewed out a lot of blood-colored mucus, 360 degrees without dead angles!

This scene was like a volcanic eruption, almost covering the entire temple hall, even Rudolph and the other three hiding in the corner of the temple hall could not avoid it!

Facing the witchcraft-like attack of the flesh and blood tree spirit, Rudolf's face changed drastically, and he secretly regretted not taking measures earlier.

Now, even if he and Machini used their last killer moves, it would be too late!

The Templar Machini immediately raised the steel shield in his hand and blocked Rudolf.

And Lagre was half-crouching with a sturdy body, staring at Ryan with a pair of beautiful eyes, holding the blood-patterned steel shield in her left hand, her slender and powerful thighs tense, and the whole person was like a female leopard ready to go.

Lagre should have planned to rush to Ryan immediately and use the shield in her hand to block the spit of the flesh and blood tree spirit for Ryan.

But the next second, she was stunned!

The same situation also happened at the top of the hall. The eagle incarnated by the black-haired elf was about to dive down and perform the "hurricane technique" for rescue, but soon, she also stopped diving.

The body in front of the flesh and blood tree spirit, which was not very sturdy, did not retreat but advanced, and calmly took out a scroll from his arms!

"I originally wanted to keep this witchcraft scroll "Extreme Cold Wind" as a backup for the canonization assessment, but I didn't expect to use it here." Ryan said softly with a little distress.

While talking to himself, the movements of his hands were not slow at all. Ryan quickly injected a trace of mental power into the witchcraft scroll "Extreme Cold Wind" and slightly controlled the direction of release.

In an instant, an extremely cold airflow appeared out of thin air and blew dozens of meters in front of Ryan, almost completely covering the huge flesh and blood tree spirit.

The next second, the extremely cold airflow confronted the blood-colored mucus spewed by the tree spirit head-on.

The power of this cold air far exceeded Ryan's expectations. The blood-colored mucus was quickly frozen as soon as it touched it, and it fell to the ground like a large piece of ice, and broke into pieces with a "click".

And this is far from over. After freezing the blood-colored mucus, these extremely cold air currents still have some energy left, and they rush straight to the body of the blood-colored tree spirit.

And the spit just now was also extremely energy-consuming for the blood-colored tree spirit.

It was seen gasping for breath, and the wounds that penetrated its body expanded again. Except for a few large roots, all other roots on its body had fallen off.

Facing the extremely cold air current, the blood-colored tree spirit did not have time to make an effective dodge or resistance.

Soon, the roots and even the body of the blood-colored tree spirit were covered with thick white frost and crystals. At the same time, its movement speed and attack speed were greatly reduced, as if it had suddenly changed from a flexible monkey to a staggering old lady in her eighties or nineties.

In addition, due to the great difference in temperature in the air, a large amount of white fog filled the hall of the temple at this time, obscuring Ryan's figure, and even the huge flesh and blood tree spirit could not be seen clearly.

At this moment, Ryan kicked his right foot heavily, swung the big sword in his hand, and the whole person shot towards the body of the flesh and blood tree spirit like an arrow.

More than ten meters along the road, there was a constant sound of "clicking". It turned out that these white roots fell to the ground one after another.

Under the influence of low temperature, these originally tough roots have become extremely fragile.

Therefore, dozens of white tentacles were cleared by Ryan in an instant, and a long passage leading directly to the trunk of the flesh and blood tree spirit appeared!

Ryan shook the glimmering giant sword in his hand, and the next second, he had come to the side of the trunk of the flesh and blood tree spirit.

As Ryan's left hand pressed against the rough skin of the flesh and blood tree spirit, a low spell sounded in his mouth.

That's right, Ryan was performing the lv2 witchcraft 'Scorching Touch' that he mastered!

After chanting for just over two seconds, a red light appeared on Ryan's palm and quickly sank into the rough skin of the bloody tree spirit.

With 22 points of mental power, the power of Ryan's Scorching Touch has been further improved.

Although it is not known how much it can be improved, it must be much more than before.

Hmm?

In an instant, Ryan felt as if he had ignited a gunpowder barrel!

It seemed that the bloody tree spirit stored a lot of gasoline in its body, and it was just missing a fuse.

And his 'Scorching Touch' was the match.

Ryan's face changed instantly, and he retreated quickly.

The next second!

"Boom!!"

The bloody tree spirit screamed!

I saw that the area that Ryan had just touched had a huge hole half a person's height, and the blazing flames were continuing to burn the body of the flesh and blood tree spirit at the wound.

The surrounding roots were desperately trying to extinguish the flames at the wound, but because they were hit by the witchcraft scroll "Extreme Cold Wind" before, the speed was slow, so the fire extinguishing effect was not obvious.

This made the burning gradually become more and more intense.

Ryan was overjoyed!

Obviously, this shows that his previous judgment was accurate.

This flesh and blood tree spirit, whose name contains the word "tree", unexpectedly, is really afraid of fire.

Ryan felt that he should thank the first person who named the flesh and blood tree spirit.

The accurate naming contains the key to defeating the enemy.

Almost without hesitation, Ryan decided to beat the fallen dog!

To borrow a saying from a great man, that is, "It is better to pursue the enemy with the remaining courage, rather than to seek fame and learn from the tyrant! ’

Ryan immediately exerted force on his feet again, and the whole person quickly attacked the flesh and blood tree spirit. Once he found a suitable opportunity, he would release the witchcraft "burning touch" on other parts of the flesh and blood tree spirit.

Although the flesh and blood tree spirit instinctively tried its best to avoid Ryan's attack, after being hit by the witchcraft "extreme cold wind", its body, including the roots, had greatly slowed down its movement speed, and it was completely unable to avoid Ryan's attack and approach.

So, in just over ten seconds, many parts of the flesh and blood tree spirit were ignited by Ryan!

And with the successive explosions of multiple parts, it seemed to have caused some kind of chain reaction!

Suddenly, the nearly 20-meter-long body of the flesh and blood tree spirit stopped moving. It no longer avoided Ryan's attack, but trembled slightly.

The next second, the huge body of the flesh and blood tree spirit suddenly expanded and was full of fiery red.

At this moment, its body seemed to be full of magma, like a volcano about to erupt.

Ryan was immediately shocked and retreated rapidly!

He was still worried whether the bloody tree spirit had other trump cards, or some desperate tricks.

But the next second, under Ryan's gaze, the huge body of the bloody tree spirit suddenly shrank back and quickly shrank, while emitting a large amount of pungent and smelly black smoke.

And the densely packed roots on its body seemed to have lost all their vitality at once, hanging down lifelessly, motionless.

It seemed that the expansion and contraction just now had released all the energy in the bloody tree spirit at once.

For a while, the bloody tree spirit was silent!

At this time, the system prompt sounded:

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +1291]

[Your skill Burning Touch has been improved, experience value +35]

[You have experienced a battle, Knight (Super) experience value +276, Wizard Apprentice (Super) experience value +112]

Ryan saw it and felt relieved.

Fortunately, although this flesh and blood tree spirit is strong, there is no second stage or transformation.

At this moment, it should be dead.

Huh?

What is this?

Ryan noticed keenly that under the corpse of the flesh and blood tree spirit, he seemed to sense a special faint breath.

This breath was the first time Ryan had come into contact with it. It was full of vitality, vastness and spirituality. In addition, it seemed to be accompanied by a trace of unspeakable evil?

Immediately, Ryan quickly cut open the bottom of the flesh and blood tree spirit.

A walnut-sized crystal and a small light golden tree wrapped in a fist-sized transparent film appeared in front of Ryan.

Hiss!

This is

What he sensed just now was probably the aura of the light golden tree. The light golden tree was all light golden, like a divine object. But Ren, with his keen eyes, could detect that there seemed to be a hint of black energy under its light golden appearance. Stop circulation.

The aura of that crystal is quite similar to the aura of the evil energy crystal dropped by the Evil Spirit Knight, but it is more intense and vast.

After thinking about it, Ren picked up the crystal with the tip of his sword.

As soon as I hold it in my hand, the system prompts:

【Ding! The test found unknown absorbable energy, yes/no? (Note: After absorption, it can be converted into designated professional experience points.)]

really!

This should be some kind of energy body that is more advanced than evil energy crystals.

After working hard for so long, it’s finally time to reap the rewards.

Ren was overjoyed and chose 'Yes!' without hesitation! ’

The next second, the rich black energy that had been flowing in the walnut-sized crystal instantly passed through Ren's arm and rushed towards his body.

It was still the same as last time. This time, Renn himself still didn't feel any discomfort, and the entire absorption and transformation process was over.

【Ding! A total of 1536 points of extraordinary experience points have been converted. Please choose Knight (extraordinary)/Wizard Apprentice (extraordinary)/Beast Tamer (extraordinary) to upgrade. 】

Tsk tsk!

The flesh and blood tree spirit is so powerful!

Ren discovered that he was a little in love with the evil things from the Mother Tree Sect!

This reward is too generous!

After thinking for a while, Ren decided to continue choosing the Beast Tamer (Extraordinary) to add points.

The reason is also very simple. The professional experience of a knight or wizard apprentice can be accumulated slowly through combat, but this is not the case for a beast tamer.

In addition, he is currently a beast tamer (extraordinary) lv3 (12/500). After choosing a beast tamer and adding points, he can be upgraded by two levels again.

But if you choose knight or wizard apprentice, you can only upgrade one level.

As for the reason for not prompting the blacksmith, it is because in Renn's view, the blacksmith is not an extraordinary profession after all, and it is not difficult to improve.

As Ren thought silently in his mind, ‘Animal Tamer! ’

Instantly, two consecutive system prompts appeared:

[Congratulations, your beast tamer (extraordinary) career level has been improved! 】

[Congratulations, your beast tamer (extraordinary) career level has been improved! 】

Seeing the level of the beast tamer (extraordinary) on the panel from lv3 (12/500) → lv5 (48/2000), Renn couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on his face.

Read on.

I saw a prompt at the bottom of the panel: 3 remaining attribute points, and 5 remaining skill points.

Among them, the remaining attribute points have returned to three points again, and the remaining skill points have reached an astonishing five points.

This makes Renn feel like he is getting richer and stronger the more he fights!

Since there was still a small pale golden tree that he had not checked, Renn did not immerse himself in the joy of upgrading for too long. Instead, he immediately took out the fist-sized pale golden tree from the body of the flesh and blood tree spirit.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again:

【Ding! It is detected that the host has obtained the mother tree seeds, triggering a job change - mother tree sacrifice (extraordinary)! 】

[The prerequisites for changing to the Mother Tree Sacrifice are: 1. Knight (Extraordinary) lv3 or above, Wizard Apprentice (Extraordinary) lv3 or above; 2. Physique 15 points or more, spirit 18 points or more; 3. Believe in the Mother Tree or use the seeds of the Mother Tree. If the current conditions are met, do you want to switch to Mother Tree Sacrifice (Extraordinary)? 】

hiss!

Seeing the job transfer information prompted by the system, Renn's eyes suddenly widened!

This was the first time he had seen a job transfer with such high prerequisites.

It actually requires knights and wizard apprentices to reach level 3 or above.

Ren's brain was working rapidly, and after a few seconds, he resolutely clicked "No!"

The reason is also very simple. The Mother Tree Sect has been classified as a cult by the empire. If he changes his profession to become a Mother Tree Priest (extraordinary), he will naturally be on the opposite side of the Empire. Renn does not think that the extraordinary profession of Mother Tree Priest can bring him Profit that matches the huge risk!

【Ding! The test found that the mother tree seeds contain a large amount of life energy. Yes/no? Absorb it? (Note: The mother tree seeds will be destroyed after being absorbed.)]

Huh?

Can it still be like this?

After thinking for a moment, Renn chose "Yes!"

Since he is not changing jobs, he will naturally use it to absorb it, at least it will be used on himself.

In an instant, from the light golden mother tree seeds, there was a warm current that made Ren indescribably comfortable, and the ecstasy could not be described as one tenth of it!

At this time, four system prompts also came quietly:

【Congratulations! Your physical attributes are improved! 】

【Congratulations! Your strength attributes are improved! 】

【Congratulations! Your agility attribute is improved! 】

【Congratulations! Your mental attributes are improved! 】

this.

All attributes +1!

Mother tree seed cow!

Please give me a dozen!

When Ren came back to his senses, he really didn't expect that four system prompts would appear as soon as he arrived!

At this time, the white mist also began to gradually dissipate.

In the corner of the hall, Rudolf, Lagret and Machini stared blankly at the obviously dead flesh and blood tree spirit in front of them, as well as Ren standing with a sword beside them.

The three of them didn't know what to say for a moment!

The situation changes so quickly!

In half a minute, the flesh-and-blood tree spirit that had the upper hand just now was lying motionless at Ren's feet.

At this moment, under the sunlight shining through the gap in the hall, Ren's whole body was coated with a faint golden light, making him look particularly tall.

The tree spirit of flesh and blood, which was originally a small mountain, was now charred black, emitting bursts of black smoke, and was completely reduced to a background of golden light.

At this time, Rudolph also realized something, frowned, stepped forward and looked at Renn carefully, and then slowly asked: "Renn, the large-scale frost attack you just performed must be witchcraft, right?" ?”

Because his line of sight was blocked by Machini just now, he didn't see the scene when Ren took out the witchcraft scroll.

Ren looked up and saw that the expression of the dean Rudolf was both joyful and slightly worried. He immediately understood what was going on.

It seems that what Jenny said last time was right.

Supporters of the church and the orthodox path of chivalry are quite disgusted with witchcraft and wizards.

Wren understands this, because this is almost the same as the struggle for orthodoxy in the fairy novels of the previous life, or the difference between capital and socialism in modern society.

"That's right, Dean Rudolf, I just used a witchcraft scroll captured from the wizard's apprentice, called 'The Extremely Cold Wind'."

When Rudolf heard that it was from the seizure of trophies, he immediately relaxed his brows and looked much better. He nodded and said, "That's good. Although witchcraft is powerful, many unpredictable dangers will occur during the learning process."

After a pause, Rudolph continued: "And divine magic is not only more powerful but also safer. Ren, I hope you can understand this."

Naturally, Renn would not argue with Rudolf about this issue at this time. He smiled slightly and nodded again.

However, suddenly, Ren looked around in confusion. Just after he killed the flesh and blood tree spirit, he felt a vague sense of spying.

This sense of spying was very weak. Renn looked up again and found a few birds fluttering away from the top of the hall. He shook his head slightly and thought to himself:

"Maybe I'm too sensitive! I mistook the curious watching of some birds and beasts as the watching of intelligent creatures."

At this time, Rudolph said something that made Ren's heart skip a beat.

Just listen to Rudolf muttering to himself in confusion:

"It shouldn't be! After the death of an evil creature at the level of a flesh-and-blood tree spirit, there should be at least a large piece of evil energy crystal left behind."

"In fact, normally speaking, there should be fragments of evil energy left behind. How could there be nothing left behind?"

"Ren, have you seen crystals similar to those dropped by the Evil Ghost Knight after his death?" Rudolph turned around and asked.

"Haha, not really. By the way, Chief Rudolf, is it possible that the high-level magic 'Sword of Judgment' you just released is too powerful?" Renn laughed.

I'm sorry!

Father Rudolf, this thing exists, but it has been absorbed by me.

I can't spit it out to you either.

"This is indeed a possibility." Rudolph frowned and thought for a while, then nodded, seeming to agree with Ren's statement.

"Prince, let's retreat now." Ren said quickly, a little guilty.

After all, the high-level divine scroll 'Sword of Judgment' still played a very important role in killing the flesh and blood tree spirit, but the problem now is that all the benefits have been 'swallowed' by Ren.

"Wait a minute, there should be something from the Mother Tree Sect here, and it needs the protection of the flesh and blood tree spirit."

"In other words, there must be something here that is important to the Mother Tree Sect. Otherwise, the flesh-and-blood tree spirits and evil spirit knights would not have been born for no reason."

"Forehead"

Could it be that pale golden sapling the size of a thumb?

Dean, can I say that you have been absorbed by me?

Renn secretly glanced at Dean Rudolf who was looking around, feeling even more guilty.

But at this moment, he could only remain silent, following Reverend Rudolf, pretending to be searching around the temple hall.

Suddenly, Templar Machini was in the middle of the hall and shouted: "Priest, there is a stone slab here!"

Renn raised his eyebrows, Huh? Is there really something to this?

The two people immediately walked over quickly, and when they saw it, they saw that Magini dug out an obsidian slab more than one meter long under the tree spirit's original position, with something written in spiritual script (Akkadian) on it. .

Rudolph nodded and said quite confidently: "This should be it."

"Is the flesh and blood tree spirit guarding this thing?" Templar Makini asked curiously.

As a Templar Knight of the church, he has never learned this kind of spiritual writing. On ordinary days, he has no time to learn combat skills and pray, so naturally he cannot be distracted to learn other things.

However, as a dean, Rudolf has done some research on spiritual texts.

"The great mother tree follows the humblest servant. Praying to you"

Renn looked at it carefully for a few times in surprise, but then he lost interest.

Because if he was not mistaken, this should be a sacrificial ritual or prayer, that is, the ritual language used in sacrificial rituals, used to pray to the so-called mother tree.

Obviously, this means almost nothing to him, and he is not a mother tree sacrificer.

If Ren had just changed his profession to the 'Mother Tree Priest', this prayer would be of great use and could be studied carefully, but now, it is really useless.

"Machini, dig out this piece and take it back." After thinking for a while, Rudolph said.

Although Rudolf thought it was just an ordinary prayer after translating it, he thought about it carefully and believed that the obsidian slab that the blood and flesh tree spirit focused on guarding should have some special purpose or meaning.

However, perhaps because he was not knowledgeable enough in this area, he could not see the importance of this obsidian slab at once.

Looking at the Templar Machini "grunting" to dig out the heavy obsidian slab, Ryan looked at Rudolf suspiciously and thought:

"Priest, do you really think the blood and flesh tree spirit is guarding this slab?"

Soon, Ryan and his party returned to the entrance of the temple garden.

At this time, seeing Ryan and his party coming out, the night watchmen and security guards immediately surrounded them.

After a conversation, they heard that there was a nearly 20-meter-long monster inside, which made everyone smack their lips!

Judging from the expressions of everyone, they all looked fortunate.

Otherwise, it is not difficult to see from the bodies of the fallen Templars that ordinary people like them will definitely suffer heavy casualties, or even be wiped out!

After figuring this out, the short Matteo and other night watchmen looked at their own deputy sheriff Ryan with gratitude.

——

After Ryan and his men left the temple hall, the eagle on the top of the hall flapped its wings and flew down.

When it was about to land, the eagle suddenly turned into a black-haired elf. The tall and slender figure walked calmly to the corpse of the flesh and blood tree spirit and checked it out.

"Strange, the witchcraft scroll that the human knight just tore open was obviously frost-type, but the flesh and blood tree spirit obviously died of fire-type witchcraft." The black-haired elf looked puzzled.

She just witnessed the whole process of the battle, but soon after Ryan tore open the witchcraft scroll "Extreme Cold Wind", the whole hall was filled with thick fog.

At this time, except for Ryan himself, no one else could see clearly what Ryan did at that time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the black-haired elf has such doubts.

"Could it be that the human knight just cast a fire spell?"

The black-haired elf quickly thought of a possibility.

"Perhaps, it is because the other party brought a fire spell scroll."

"Huh? This breath is..."

The black-haired elf's beautiful eyes suddenly widened twice, her cherry mouth opened wide, and her face was full of disbelief.

Because she just sensed a trace of the remaining breath of the elven mother tree seed.

She was naturally very familiar with this breath, almost exactly the same.

"No, this should be the breath of the dark mother tree seed that the mother tree sect believes in!"

The next second, the black-haired elf reacted.
