Chapter 238 There Is No Going Back

Chapter 238 I can't go back anymore

Aware of the sound behind him, Mumu's expression changed slightly and he whispered.

"Hey, hide quickly!"

"If they find you, you're done!"

To be honest, if it were just a few tree people who were alone, Shane wouldn't have anything to be afraid of.

With his current strength, he could completely eliminate them in a very short time.

But Shane was worried that killing the tree people would attract the attention of the entire forest again, thus triggering the "giant tree frenzy" just now.

At least now, Shane didn't have the strength to fight a city alone.

So, Shane decisively found a place with dense vegetation and hid nearby.

Mumu took root not far from him and protected Shane behind him.

At this moment, several tree people walked out of the woods.

The leading tree man obviously knew Mumu and said, "Mumu, who were you talking to just now?"

"Haha... Are you chatting with your 'imaginary friends' again?"

This tree man is much taller than Mumu, more than five meters tall, with lush branches and leaves.

According to the standards of tree men, he can be described as "strong".

You can tell at a glance that he has converted to the [Giant Tree God] with his lively appearance.

"Nilg, what I say and what I do, does it have anything to do with you?"

Seeing these tree men, Mumu was not timid, but fought back without hesitation.

According to its experience, in this situation, the more timid and afraid you are, the easier it is to be bullied.

According to its experience, it is possible to scare these bullies by acting a little fierce, even if it is a little fierce on the outside.

However, the tree man named "Nigel" is not so easily scared, it smiled lightly.

"Mumu, you're wrong to say that."

"We're all old friends, isn't it normal to care about your friends?"

It would have been fine if Nigel hadn't mentioned this, but as soon as he mentioned the word "friend", Mumu's eyes glowed with anger.

"Hey, friend!"

"Who told me before that you would never accept the [Seed of Life]? And then you turned around and became a believer of the [Giant Tree God]?"

"You've forgotten everything in the past, haven't you?"

Hearing this question, Nigel's tree face didn't look good.

It was a little nostalgic after all, and it was indeed it that betrayed the friendship between the two, and it was speechless for a while.

However, the other tree people next to Nigel were not so good-tempered.

One of the tree people sneered: "Nigel, what's there to say to these doomed conservatives?"

"Anyway, in a few years, they will be completely destroyed."

"By then, it will be too late for them to regret not being able to throw themselves into the arms of the [Giant Wood God]!"

Another tree person echoed: "That's right."

"Brother Nigel is kind and wants to take this guy to become part of a greater existence. It's fine if it doesn't appreciate it, but it blames Brother Nigel instead."

In the bushes nearby, Shane secretly observed Mumu's communication with these tree people, and inexplicably thought of the bullying incidents on Earth.

If you ignore Mumu's race of tree people, they are actually just a group of young boys and girls.

At this time, Nigel didn't think he did anything wrong in his heart.

On one side is the decaying conservatives, and on the other side is the new and growing reformists.

Isn't it clear which side to choose?

It has witnessed the elders who are unwilling to accept the [Seed of Life] becoming increasingly corrupt and eventually dying.

That's why he changed his mind and accepted the "Seed of Life" given by the Giant Wood God.

To be fair, Nigel didn't want Mumu to go down this old road that was doomed to destruction, and he had been trying to pull him onto the "right path".

In his opinion, he was really saving his old friend.

So Nigel advised again: "Mumu, listen to my advice."

"The conservatives are finished, and the power of the old god is constantly weakening. This is the reason why you are becoming increasingly corrupt."

"If it were a few hundred years ago, would this happen?"

Hearing this, Mumu was stunned.

It knew that the conservatives were constantly weakening, and the growing power of the Giant Wood God was replacing them, but it didn't know the reason behind it.

And this may be the reason why many tree people have changed their ways recently

Shaen in the bushes also had a thought in his heart.

The "old gods" mentioned by Nigel undoubtedly refer to the elf goddess.

In other words, the power of the elf goddess is weakening?

What role did the Giant Wood God play in this?

While Shane was thinking secretly, Nigel continued.

"Not only that, it is said that the executioners will carry out a major cleansing of the [Giant Wood City] in a while."

"If we don't throw ourselves into the arms of the [Giant Wood God], it will be too late!"

Hearing this, Mumu finally showed an expression of disbelief and murmured.

"The executioner... the big cleansing..."

"No, this is impossible!"

"Uncle Fana is an elder among the executioners. If there is such an action, he will definitely tell us at the first time."

At present, although the conservatives who insist on being loyal to the elf goddess are declining, they are still old forces passed down from ancient times.

There are still three pounds of nails in a rotten ship!

Therefore, there are still some respected old tree people who are unwilling to abandon their beliefs.

Most of their strengths have been weakened by the erosion of the sea water, but their past identities and status are still there.

Some are even elders in the tree people community.

Among some tree people, they still have a high prestige.

Old Hunter and Uncle Fana in Mumu's mouth are remnants of the old era.

Hearing this name, Nigel couldn't help looking at Mumu with pity.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"The elder Fana you trust has also become one of us."

Mumu's mind "buzzed" and was blank for a moment.

If the betrayal of his good friend Nigel is still within the scope of what Mumu can accept.

Then the defection of Elder Fana is something he dare not believe at all.

In the heart of this little tree man, Fana's status is almost the same as that of Old Hunter. They are both elders who watched him grow up.

The other party also said in person that he would be irreconcilable with the believers of the [Giant Wood God].

Those beautiful past events and precious memories are still vivid.

How come now...

"Brother, you..."

On the side, several treemen followers couldn't help but look at Nigel with surprise.

Information like this is quite confidential among them.

The elders have ordered to keep it strictly confidential.

In theory, it cannot be told to these conservatives.

Nigel waved his hand: "I have my own arrangements."

Mumu shook his head, threw the absurd possibility out of his mind, and asked: "Impossible... You must have lied to me!"

"This is fake, right?"

There was even a hint of pleading in its tone.

Looking at Mumu at this time, Nigel's eyes flashed with sympathy, but he still said.

"I won't lie to you about this."

"In fact, this time we..."

At this moment, a voice sounded behind Nigel.

"Enough."

"Let me explain the next thing to it."

Then, a treeman who looked a little slender walked out of the crowd.

Its branches are much thinner than those of ordinary tree people, and its leaves are light red and delicate, which gives people a pleasing feeling.

Among tree people, it may be a rare beauty.

Even its voice is very clear and pleasant.

"Golisi..."

Seeing this beautiful tree person, Mumu's voice trembled a little.

Seeing the other person's appearance at this time, it understood everything.

The reason is very simple.

This Gelisi is the granddaughter of Elder Fana.

——Tree people are of course genderless, but they also have their own different self-cognition and preferences, and have certain commonalities with steam armor.

Gelisi is a rare tree person who regards herself as a woman among tree people.

Strictly speaking.

Gelisi should be regarded as Mumu's childhood sweetheart.

After all, the two are of similar age, both conservative, and have close elders.

After spending a long time together, they are naturally childhood sweethearts.

However, in recent months, Mumu has seen Golisi less and less frequently. Sometimes, he even sees Golisi moving hurriedly in the sea, as if he is hiding from him.

Mumu originally thought that he had done something wrong and made Golisi unhappy.

But now, he has understood everything.

Golisi's fresh and lively appearance after being reborn is the state that will appear after accepting the [Seed of Life].

And even Golisi has used the [Seed of Life], and Uncle Fana's attitude is already very obvious.

"So... you all have..."

Mumu smiled bitterly, feeling a bit sadder than a dead heart.

It's already very uncomfortable to be betrayed by a good friend once, and now, it has been betrayed by its elders and childhood sweethearts one after another.

Probably only it can understand the taste.

"I'm sorry."

Golisi sighed softly: "But, I can't go back anymore."

As a bystander, Xia En looked at him with a strange expression.

Damn, there's a cow?

He thought it was just a simple bullying incident, but he didn't expect it to involve so much love, hatred and vengeance.

Putting aside Mumu's tragic experience in this matter, Shane still found it quite fun to watch. It was simply a good show.

At this time, Golisi continued.

"In fact, after I accepted the [Seed of Life], I not only got rid of my original rotten body, but also was honored to be chosen as the saint of my Lord."

"Being able to bestow the [Seed of Life] on behalf of Him to the residents of [Giant Wood City]..."

Hearing this, Mumu suddenly realized that something was wrong and said vigilantly.

"Wait, Golisi, what do you want to do?"

Nigel took a step forward and, together with other tree people, blocked Mumu's retreat and said at the same time.

"Do you think that you can leave like nothing happened after knowing so many secrets?"

Mumu suddenly panicked.

It realized its dangerous situation belatedly and threatened.

"If I die, Grandpa Hunter will never let you go!"

Nigel shook his head: "You are wrong again."

"Why would we kill you?"

"I have always regarded you as a brother, a beloved relative."

Golisi took a step forward and walked towards the retreating dead tree man, saying softly.

"Don't be afraid. It hurts a little at first, but you'll get used to it soon."

"After that, you'll become one of us, a part of something greater."

The other tree people whispered together.

"... Become part of a greater existence."

They all had a fanatical and distorted look on their faces.

That look made them look extremely strange, as if some mysterious and evil will had descended upon them, replacing their original souls.

Mumu couldn't help but feel panic and panic.

It didn't understand why Nigel and Golisi, who had been together for several years, had become so strange?

Mumu instinctively realized that the existence called [Seed of Life] was definitely not a good thing!

But now, it had to accept [Seed of Life] under the coercion of its former friend.

What an ironic and absurd thing!

As Golisi approached, a green "seed" gradually appeared on its arm made of branches.

It was called a seed, but it was as big as a basketball and was still beating.

It feels more like a living heart, and it is constantly activated under the urging of Golisi.

The extremely vigorous breath of life emanates from the [Seed of Life], making the tree people intoxicated and enjoying.

It looks completely harmless.

It even brings a strong attraction to Mumu.

It seems that there is a voice in the dark, driving it to accept this seed.

But the more this happens, the more Mumu fears the [Seed of Life].

"If this seed enters my body, I will definitely become another strange me like Golisi and others!"

In this situation, the only one who can save himself seems to be the strange human of unknown origin.

But Mumu held on without asking for help.

In his cognition, humans have always been weak, so how can they be the opponents of Golisi and others in their prime?

"Please, don't come out..."

At the same time.

Xia En was silently observing the strange seed.

"Is this the [Seed of Life]?"

He and Mumu had similar feelings. They both felt that although this seed was emitting strong vitality, it also had a disgusting smell.

Suddenly, in a trance, some chaotic shadows broke into Xia En's vision.

The [Seed of Life] in his eyes was no longer the seed, but quickly turned into an extremely ugly tumor!

Many tiny tentacles poked out from the tumor and groped around, as if they were rooted in Mumu's body like roots.

The flesh was wriggling, shrinking, and talking in sleep...

One eyeball after another opened from the surface of the tumor, and each eyeball had countless compound eyes.

When Xia En saw these eyeballs.

The eyeballs also saw Xia En.

The next moment.

All the eyes on the tumor suddenly burst open, and hundreds of tentacles also made a harsh and painful hiss...
