Chapter 316: Twisted Tree Demon

"So. You choose to merge with this twisted tree!?"

Enzo took a breath. After hearing the words of the twisted tree demon, his mind flashed quickly. He suddenly had a bold inference about the scene ahead and everything that happened in the twisted jungle.

Gram is an old guardian wizard.

His life is about to come to an end, but he cannot be promoted to a second-level wizard. In order to seek an opportunity, he followed the expeditionary army to [Aqila World], and by chance, he found a deformed giant twisted tree.

Feeling the huge vitality of the giant twisted tree, a bold idea grew wildly in Gram's heart.

He used the knowledge in his mind to merge himself with the twisted tree and devoured all the pioneers to form a unique life form.

Twisted tree demon!

The twisted tree, which originally had no thoughts, obtained the brains of Gram wizard and thirty rune knights at the same time, and gained wisdom in this way.

"When I was still a human wizard, I tried various methods to advance to the second-level life form."

"But every attempt ended in failure. I had given up and decided to face death calmly, but when Dean Frosley ordered the expedition, I planned to fight for the last time!"

"The new world may represent danger and unknown, but it also means opportunity!"

"Perhaps it was fate that let me find this giant twisted tree. Using the wisdom of wizards, I merged everyone's brain with the twisted tree and finally successfully promoted to a second-level life form!"

The twisted tree demon Gram spoke slowly, and his tone was calm with a hint of vicissitudes.

"Now. Should I call you wizard Gram, or twisted tree demon Gram?" Enzo suppressed the throbbing in his heart and frowned, ": To be promoted to a second-level life form in this way, have you given up the future?"

Fusing himself with the giant twisted tree may have given Gram a long life.

But abandoning the human body also cut off his wizard journey. As a twisted tree demon, it is almost impossible for him to evolve towards a higher level of life in the future.

"Compared with the future, I pay more attention to the present!"

The twisted tree demon slowly spoke, "If I don't seize this opportunity, maybe in another ten years, I will fall completely, and even my soul will return to the origin of the wizard world, and become part of the world's rules from then on."

"And now, although I have changed my form, I am still me!"

"What's more, even if I become a twisted tree demon, it doesn't mean I lose my future. When I merged my brain with the giant twisted tree and became a special life form, my roots took root in this land and obtained a lot of information you don't know."

"[Aikira World] is far from as simple as you think."

On the surface of the twisted tree demon's trunk, Gram's face showed a weird expression. After obtaining a new life form, he became a native creature of [Aikira World] in a special way, so he learned more about the secrets of this world.

Enzo's eyes flashed, and his thoughts changed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this!" Then, the twisted tree demon's huge body shook, and slowly said, "Come here, Enzo! Merge with me, and you will also become a second-level life form."

Swish!

The green vines attacked this side, and Enzo and the rune knights were all shocked. After a brief exchange, the situation finally turned into a battle.

"Dark extinguishing fireball!" Enzo paused with the magic wand in his hand.

The black flame bloomed in the air, forming a dark extinguishing fireball. After Enzo was promoted to a first-level wizard, the magic he mastered had an essential improvement in energy. The energy intensity of the fireball without charging has exceeded 20 degrees.

Boom!

The dark extinguishing fireball whistled away, and the vines hanging down around the twisted tree demon immediately woven into a tree net, blocking the witchcraft attack, and more vines rushed out like poisonous snakes.

A rune knight was caught off guard and his legs were entangled by the vines.

"Ah! Help!" With a cry of surprise, the Rune Knight was dragged under the tree by the vines, and then several thick vines curled and stretched over.

"Jack!!" Knight Carter drew out his cross sword and was about to rush forward, but was stopped by Enzo.

The soft and sharp vines wrapped around Jack's body, and then the barbs on it pierced into his body, sucking blood while tearing his skull and peeling off the brain inside.

The scene in front of me was horrifying!

After the twisted tree demon sucked all the blood out of Jack's body, it threw the shriveled body directly to a bionic crocodile monster, and the white brain taken out of Jack's skull was wrapped by the vines and sent to the top of the twisted tree demon's head.

Then, the tiny tentacles pierced Jack's brain and hung in the tree canopy like a lantern.

"Hello, Boss Carter!" The surface of the twisted tree demon's trunk changed, and Jack's face replaced Gram, smiling and greeting Knight Carter.

"How is this possible!?" Knight Carter's face turned pale, and a chill rose up his spine.

After the twisted tree demon devoured Jack, it merged everything about him with itself. Not only did it possess Jack's brain, it even acquired all of his memories.

Enzo narrowed his eyes, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He finally understood Gram's intention. The twisted tree demon had previously merged the brains of a wizard and thirty rune knights, and now it has become a special life form.

The twisted tree demon can obtain more wisdom and memory by plundering the brain.

It is precisely this ability that makes the twisted tree demon crave for brains to evolve towards a higher level of life. Gram was a human wizard before. He knew that after a pioneering team disappeared, the tower would send out a new pioneering team.

So he decided to wait quietly in the twisted jungle and seize more brains.

In front, the slender vines attacked quickly. The rune knights had learned from the previous lessons and did not dare to be careless. They waved the cross sword to cut off the vines one by one, but for the twisted tree demon, it seemed painless.

"Come here! Merge with me, you will become a higher life form!"

A strange smile appeared on the face of the twisted tree demon. The bionic crocodile monsters around him all stood on two feet in human form, vomited green mucus from their stomachs, and picked up cross swords with their claw-like forelimbs.

At the same time, behind the twisted tree demon, a bionic crocodile monster in a black robe also slowly appeared.

In its claws, it actually held a metal magic wand.

"You even fed your own body to the Bionic Crocodile Monster!?" Enzo's face was filled with surprise.

Bionic Crocodile Monster is a life form bred by the twisted tree demon. It has the ability to devour other life cells and plunder genetic attributes. Those Bionic Crocodile Monsters holding the cross sword with their forelimb claws are because they have eaten the bodies of Rune Knights.

And the Bionic Crocodile Monster in black robes in front of him, since he holds a metal magic wand, obviously ate Gram's body.

"Bionic Crocodile Monster? Sounds like a good name!"

The twisted tree demon had a strange expression and said slowly: "The flesh is just a shell that carries the soul. Since I have transformed into another life form, the shell has lost its meaning. I named this Bionic Crocodile Monster 'Gram'. It has almost all the abilities of my human wizard identity."

As he spoke, the Bionic Crocodile Monster Gram had already raised the metal magic wand.

In midair, a ball of silver liquid slowly condensed, as if it was some kind of liquid metal, changing into spikes in a flowing form, and then piercing the air and shooting forward.

Enzo's eyes were calm, and his mind moved.

On the ground, a shadow turned into a shield and emerged!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, the shadow shield failed to block the metal spikes. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, it penetrated the shadow shield and stabbed towards Enzo without slowing down.

"Shadow Whip!"

Enzo took three steps back, and the reflection in front of him waved like a long whip, knocking away several metal spikes, but in the next moment, those metal spikes floated up again, stabbing like whistle arrows.

"Shadow Stealth!"

Seeing several metal spikes attacking again, the shadow whip swung violently, blocking a spike, and Enzo also turned into a shadow and disappeared on the spot.

"Mainly shadow-based witchcraft?"

The twisted tree demon spoke slowly, praising, "This is a great talent. If I can get your brain, maybe I can also evolve abilities related to shadows."

The next moment, Enzo's figure suddenly appeared.

Less than one meter away from the bionic crocodile monster Gram, the soul wand in Enzo's hand flashed with a dark light, and the dark fireball continued to condense, and then blasted out.

Bang!

The metal wand in the hand of the bionic crocodile monster Gram twisted, like flowing liquid metal, and turned into a huge metal shield, blocking the attack of the dark fireball.

"Steel armor."

Then, the bionic crocodile monster's throat trembled, and the huge shield in front of it turned into liquid metal again, rushing towards it, wrapping the bionic crocodile monster's whole body, forming a steel armor.

Buzz!

Two sharp steel spikes extended from the bionic crocodile monster's claws.

The sturdy lower limbs exerted force, and the bionic crocodile monster roared and pounced. The sharp steel spikes were extremely sharp, as if they could easily pierce all obstacles, even the rock diamond.

Swish!

Amid the sound of breaking through the air, the bionic crocodile monster had already rushed up, and the steel spikes rushed forward, piercing Enzo's body at a terrifying speed, but then his body turned into a shadow and dissipated like black mist.

Shadow body!

The core ability of the ghost shadow can almost be immune to any physical damage. Although Enzo has mastered the twelve shadow witchcrafts, he has never used them in actual combat. Just now was the first time to try.

"Next, let's fight quickly!"

In the original place, Enzo's figure emerged, his eyes gradually became cold. In the previous round of battle, he did not use all his strength, but in the process of fighting with the bionic crocodile monster, he gradually became familiar with his innate witchcraft.

"Are you serious? It's really interesting!"

The twisted tree demon on the other side smiled strangely and said slowly, "I also want to see how strong you really are. The one who can win the coordinates for the academy in the bloody battle will definitely not let me down, right?"

Swish!

The next moment, Enzo disappeared from the spot.

After the shadow stealth was activated, he quickly appeared behind the bionic crocodile monster Gram like a shadow. The opponent's reaction speed was also not slow. One by one, sharp steel spikes floated up and stabbed out.

Ding!

On the ground, the shadow turned into a long whip, swung away several steel spikes, and then suddenly became sharp, like a shadow thorn, shooting forward, instantly piercing the huge metal shield that had just formed.

Shadow stab!

With the sound of the sharp weapon piercing the flesh and blood, a ball of blood bloomed on the chest of the bionic crocodile monster, and the throat trembled violently, making a sound like a beast's roar.

"Shadow cage!" Enzo suddenly stopped the magic wand in his hand.

A dark vortex like a shadow emerged on the ground, and then turned into a shadow cage, trapping the bionic crocodile monster in it, and black barbs extended from the inside, pressing against the bionic crocodile monster's entire body.

The battle ended in a moment. Even though it had plundered the wizard Gram's ability, the bionic crocodile monster was still no match for Enzo.

"Sure enough, this is the ending. There was no surprise." The twisted tree demon's weird face was full of calmness at the scene in front of him, as if everything was expected.

The bionic crocodile monster ate Gram's body, so it acquired the wizard's ability to cast spells.

However, since there is no condensed magic crystal in its body, every time it uses spells, it consumes the thin magic in its blood, so it is not only less powerful than a real wizard, but also the duration of the combat state is far less than that of a real wizard.

Therefore, the combat power of the bionic crocodile monster Gram is at most equivalent to that of a third-level apprentice elite.

As long as Enzo is more serious, it can be easily solved, and the twisted tree demon has expected this, so after the bionic crocodile monster was trapped in the shadow cage, it waved its vines and slammed towards the shadow cage.

Snap!

Under the huge force, the shadow cage broke, and the vines wrapped around the bionic crocodile monster and wrapped it up. After dragging it back under the tree, a crack appeared on the trunk and swallowed the bionic crocodile monster.

"Take a good rest, my child." The twisted tree demon said softly.

This seems to be another ability of the twisted tree demon. After the bionic crocodile monster it breeds is injured, it can be restored by returning to the mother body to hibernate. As long as it is not completely dead, it can be restored to its original state.

"Next, it's our turn."

The twisted tree demon's face showed a strange smile again. The next moment, the earth seemed to tremble slightly, and every plant in the entire twisted jungle began to move and move towards the central area.

In an instant, the sky fell into darkness, and the twisted jungle seemed to have become a giant beast that chooses people to devour.

"This is a bit troublesome!" Enzo's eyes narrowed, and his face became a little ugly. It turned out that the twisted tree demon also had the ability to control other plants in the jungle. It blocked all the surrounding roads and trapped the pioneering team here.

"In this case, we can only fight our way out!"

Enzo's eyes were fierce, and the magic power surged around him. The rune knights beside him also clenched their cross swords, ready to fight to the death.
