Chapter 2778

Those lights were all Spirit Shadows. They were attracted by the Tree Spirit's aura released by Giono.

They were not intelligent creatures and did not know how powerful Giono was at the moment. Everything was done according to the Ancient Tree King's orders before it went into hibernation.

They quickly arrived at the area under Giono's control. After their figures landed here, Giono's will restricted their movements.

Under normal circumstances, they would choose to retreat after sensing danger. However, without the will of the King, they did not retreat.

In the next moment, Giono released his aura, and a powerful will enveloped them.

All of the Spirit Shadows appeared on the ancient trees as if they were frozen. They were completely frozen and did not move at all.

Then, a second face appeared on the ancient trees.

These faces were all the same. They were all Giono's avatars. When they appeared, they fought with the Spirit Shadows.

Under Giono's will, this battle was completely one-sided. Soon, the faces of the Spirit Shadows disappeared. One fruit after another appeared from the ancient trees and flew toward Zi Chen.

This time, there were close to twenty fruits. Including the ones he had obtained before, there were more than thirty fruits in total.

Zi Chen put away these fruits. Just as Giono said before, this was a win-win situation.

He only contributed some energy that he could not use and received dozens of fruits. He might be able to get more in the future. Why not?

When the sun set, within thousands of feet of Giono, all of the ancient trees had reached the standard of deep and could attack on their own.

Night fell, and the part of the tree trunk that Jono extended out completely retracted.

According to what it said, its will had already spread out, so it didn't need to extend its branches and leaves anymore.

Giono had stabilized. Even if he faced danger, he would have the power to protect himself.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged under the ancient tree that Giono had transformed into and began to refine the fruits.

To him, there was nothing in this world that could increase his cultivation speed more quickly than a fruit.

Shadowless walked out again and went to investigate.

…

…

Ten thousand miles away, there was a team of nearly twenty people. They were all from the God Clan of the God World.

At this moment, they were all standing around a thick and withered ancient tree. Their figures disappeared one after another, hiding in the dark.

After their figures disappeared, the ancient tree began to emit light, and then a human face appeared.

When the face appeared, a strange fluctuation spread out.

Not long after, more and more light shadows appeared in the distance. Those light shadows were using the ancient trees to teleport closer.

These silhouettes were the Spirit Shadows that came from the depths. They quickly came over, and when they got close, they revealed their bodies and attacked the face in the ancient tree.

At this time, the sky trembled, and a huge gourd appeared out of thin air. The gourd hung upside down, and a curtain of light fell from the mouth of the gourd, trapping all the spirit shadows around the ancient tree.

Immediately afterward, the God Clan members who were previously in hiding appeared one after another and charged toward these Spirit Clones.

Puff!

Puff!

…

Divine light flickered, and powerful attacks appeared one after another, slashing apart the bodies of the spiritual shadows one after another.

In front of these God Clan members, the Spirit Clones that revealed their true bodies could not resist at all.

In the blink of an eye, these Spirit Clones were all killed, and fruits that emitted green light floated in the sky one after another.

"Just as I thought!"

After the battle, these God Clan members looked at the fruits floating in front of them with excitement on their faces.

"Now you should believe me, right?" the human face in the ancient tree said.

The group of God Clan members stepped forward and took the fruits. One of the Level Six immediately nodded and said, "We believe you. This time, we completely believe you.

What should we do next? "

The other God Clan members nodded and looked at the human face that Tree Spirit had transformed into with anticipation.

"Now, I need you to help me grow and completely control this forest," Tree Spirit said.

"That's not a problem. I believe that with our protection, no one can hurt you," the Level Six Gourd said.

He was Royf, the first Level-1 to obtain the fruit back then.

They came from the depths to the periphery, searching for Zi Chen, and wanted to make a deal with him.

However, they did not find Zi Chen. Instead, they met Tree Spirit in front of them first, and they made a deal.

Next, Tree Spirit began to expand. Its method of expansion was very similar to Giono's. It first revived the ancient trees nearby, then formed its own consciousness space and began to grow.

However, because these God Clan members did not have Zi Chen's energy, the Tree Spirit's growth speed was much slower than Giono's. However, the ancient trees near it were not completely dead, which simplified the process. Although its growth speed was still not comparable to Giono's, it was still not bad.

In a very short time, Tree Spirit had grown five ancient trees, reaching the standards of the ancient trees in the depths. This shocked the God Clan members, and they all exclaimed one after another.

Next, Tree Spirit's consciousness began to expand, absorbing the vitality from the other tree roots to strengthen itself.

One day later, Tree Spirit had grown a lot. Its consciousness continued to expand. Just as it was expanding, it suddenly felt a strange fluctuation.

From this strange fluctuation, Tree Spirit sensed a familiar yet dangerous aura.

As a Tree Spirit, Tree Spirit knew very well what this aura meant, and what danger it meant. While he was shocked, he was also pleasantly surprised.

The Tree Spirit had just fallen asleep, and yet another Tree Spirit was growing rapidly, even faster than it. This was the fundamental reason for Tree Spirit's surprise.

Tree Spirit was also pleasantly surprised. It wanted to devour the other Tree Spirit to strengthen itself even faster.

After all, among Tree Spirits, nothing could grow faster than devouring.

"I sensed the aura of another Tree Spirit. Which one of you will help me bring its soul back?" Tree Spirit retracted its consciousness and looked at the God Clan members.

"In which direction?" asked a Level Six God Clan member. It was Kennedy.

"Due south, no more than ten thousand miles away.

Send some people over, but be careful. You might encounter an ambush because it's slightly stronger than me. "The tree spirit warned.

Kennedy did not mind. He turned to a God Clan member and said, "Wilbur, you take a few people with you."

When the Divine General named Wilbur heard this, he was startled and asked, "Only me?"

He looked ahead, where six people stood. They were the Level Six Gods in the team.

Apart from the six of them, the others were all Level Five, including himself.

"It's just bringing back the soul of a Tree Spirit. How difficult can it be?

Just go and come back quickly. If you encounter any danger on the way, just send a message. We will go and support you, "said Kennedy.

Seeing that the other Level Six Gods did not say anything, Wilbur nodded and called four more people. Altogether, there were five Level Five Gods.

The five of them rushed in the direction Tree Spirit had mentioned.

…

…

After leaving Tree Spirit's range, one of the God Clan members complained, "There are six Level Six Gods in the team. It's not a big deal to send one, is it?"

Another God Clan member snorted and said, "Isn't it because of the King Fruit?

We are all worried that we won't be able to get the next fruit after leaving. "

There were more than twenty people in the team, but they had less than twenty fruits. Even if they were to divide the fruits, it would not be enough for each person.

Besides, they needed Royf's gourd to trap the spirits, so they had to get an extra one.

Wilbur's people were the ones who did not get the fruits before. Now that they were assigned to a mission, they could not help but feel resentful.

"Aren't we going to kill the other Tree Spirits' souls?

Why don't we cooperate with the Tree Spirit? "said a Level Five God suddenly.

"Forget it. Didn't you hear what the Tree Spirit said?

It wants to devour the other's soul. If we don't return, the others will come. The five of us are no match for them. "Wilbur shook his head with a wry smile.

"I didn't say we should cooperate. We can try to trick it first, then gain its trust. As long as we get the first batch of fruits, we can kill it," said the Level Five God Clan member.

"Hmm, that's a good idea." Wilbur's eyes lit up. The other Level Five Gods were also tempted.

After making up their minds, they sped up.

Because of the ancient trees, it would take a long time to reach ten thousand miles in the central area.

However, in the outer area, the withered ancient trees had no attacking power. Naturally, there was no obstruction.

Not long after, they arrived at the area under Qiao Nuo's control. When they saw the ancient trees from afar, the five Rank 0s were shocked.

The ancient trees here were luxuriant, and their branches and leaves covered the sky. If it were not for the other ancient trees behind them, they would have thought that they were in the inner area.

"Damn it. That Tree Spirit dared to trick us. Is this just a little stronger?"

Next to Wilbur, a Level Five God Clan member cursed as he looked at the ancient trees that covered the sky.

"Lower your voice," Wilbur reminded him. He looked ahead, and his expression became serious.

"Look, what is that?" Just then, another God Clan member pointed up.

Everyone looked up and saw an even taller ancient tree. This ancient tree was much taller than the other ancient trees. It looked like the Ancient Tree King in the inner area. They could see it from afar.

"Could this be my goal?"

The other God Clan members were shocked. They were only Level Five Gods. Could they kill such a large number of Tree Spirits?

"Let's send the message. This is not something we can handle."

"Let's wait and see."

Wilbur led the four of them to the side. He wanted to see the real situation of the Tree Spirit.

Even now, he still had other ideas. For example, he wanted to cooperate with the Tree Spirit and get some fruits first.

After going far away, he finally saw the Tree Spirit's body. It was indeed very thick and strong. It would be difficult to kill it.

Just as he was hesitating whether to send the message or not, he suddenly saw a person sitting cross-legged under the Tree Spirit.
