Chapter 244 Time Begins to Flow Backwards!

Looking at the many young tree people watching, old Hunter couldn't help but think of his grandson Mumu.

That was also the only person that old Hunter couldn't let go of in [Giant Wood City].

"I hope Mumu can be smarter and know to go to the Black Forest to find Iris."

Old Hunter prayed secretly: "If it hides in the Black Forest, it should be able to hold on longer, right?"

"Although living is painful in itself, there is no hope if you die."

"Mumu, you must live..."

Just as old Hunter was praying for the last time, Fana in the center of the execution square seemed too lazy to conduct meaningless interrogations.

From the moment Hunter was brought to this square, the outcome of this trial was doomed!

So, Fana pronounced the verdict.

"Elder Hunter is guilty of protecting humans who have harmed our compatriots!"

"According to the laws of the [Giant Wood City], he should be sentenced to death!"

As soon as it finished speaking, the tree people around it were immediately excited, and their empty eyes showed excitement and cruelty.

It was as if they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Then, the tree people began to shout.

"Execution!!!"

"Execution! Execution! Execution!"

At first, only one or two tree people shouted.

But soon, many tree people followed suit, and the shouts of "execution" quickly became one, echoing in the ruins of the elf temple.

The "capital punishment" mentioned by Fana is the cruelest punishment among tree people.

Because the vitality of tree people is much stronger than that of humans, their fatal weaknesses are also very different from those of humans.

If you want to execute a tree person, the most cruel and efficient way is to use great force to tear the body of the person being punished into countless pieces.

It has something in common with the human punishments of "being torn apart by a chariot" and "being torn apart by five horses".

Old Hunter looked at the tree people around him, and saw the fanaticism and tyranny on their faces, and felt cold all over.

Those once familiar faces now looked so strange.

Their expressions were highly similar, as if they were carved from the same mold.

It was like...

At this moment, there was a huge and cruel will that completely covered the original spirit of the tree people.

Or in other words, the tree people became part of that will and became an extension of its soul!

And these tree people who accepted the [Seed of Life] knew nothing about this.

Hunter suddenly felt very sad.

Not only for himself, but also for the fate of this [Giant Wood City].

At this time, several executioners had stretched out vines to Hunter, and gradually tightened the branches of the old tree man.

Hunter sighed and prepared to welcome the last moment of his life.

But at this moment.

Swish——

A ball of hot and bright fire suddenly burst out in the sky above the execution square.

It is hard to imagine that such a flame would be burning in the deep sea.

Instantly, the dim square was illuminated by the flames.

Such a change also interrupted the shouts of the tree people, and the weird and cruel evil atmosphere was slightly weakened.

They stared at the sea water above with wide eyes.

There, a tall figure wrapped in flames stood.

A handsome and sunny face was gradually exposed to the flames.

Beside him, even the sea water was ignited by the flames, and the water temperature was slowly rising, making the tree people feel a little uncomfortable.

"... Is it a human!?"

"But what's the matter with that flame? There is actually a flame that can ignite the sea!"

"Is that fire? This is the first time I have seen it..."

For these tree people living in the underwater forest, "flame" is an extremely rare existence.

For the younger generation of tree people, many people have seen this kind of thing for the first time.

Just like the shock of humans when they first saw electricity, they were also shocked when they saw the flames.

Fana's eyes flashed with surprise, and he murmured, "Another human?"

For a long time in the past, no human dared to come to the sea where [Giant Wood City] is located, let alone go deep into this forest.

But in these two days, two people have sneaked into [Giant Wood City] one after another.

Moreover, both of them seem to have extraordinary abilities.

This seems unusual.

However, the arrival of this human just proves Hunter's crime of colluding with humans!

Fana snorted coldly: "Hunter, this is the human accomplice who is in cahoots with you!"

"It seems that they still want to rescue you."

"It's okay to let that person escape by luck before, but he actually dared to come to the execution square, which is really bold!"

"Executioner, go! Kill him for me!"

Fana's words undoubtedly defined the matter and directly put the flame man in a hostile position.

Hearing his order, the tree people called executioners rushed directly towards the man on the high ground without hesitation.

The biggest difference between executioners and other tree people is that their bodies are often integrated with other creatures.

That is, the tree people that Shane had seen before, parasitic on marine creatures.

Some are fish, some are shrimps and crabs.

Others control human bodies.

While occupying the bodies of other creatures, they also keep them strangely active, giving them special abilities that ordinary tree people do not have.

It can be said that the executioner is the elite monster among the tree people!

When many executioners rushed towards Yan Yan, a clear and steady voice suddenly sounded around the execution square.

The sound was not too loud, but it was enough to cover the entire square, and it was difficult to determine the source of the sound.

"Stupid tree people, you have been deceived by the [Giant Wood God] for too long!"

"Everything you see and hear is false."

"The so-called gods and the so-called greatness are nothing but a fictitious fraud!"

"And now, I will show you the truth of it all!"

Although this voice only said a few words, it caused an uproar among the tree people.

It's like pouring a bowl of cold water into a frying pan.

For the tree people who accepted the [Seed of Life], the [Giant Wood God] has long become the most noble and greatest existence in their minds.

At this time, these words are undoubtedly blasphemous to the [Giant Wood God]!

No believer can tolerate his god being slandered and slandered by others!

As a result, the entire tree people in the Execution Square were excited.

The first one to bear the brunt was naturally the flames rising from the heights.

Many tree people believe that he was the one who said the blasphemous words just now.

Under the hostile gazes of many tree men, Yan Yan's expression did not change.

Just kidding, he has been frozen on the Ice and Snow Island for who knows how many years, so he still has some determination.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Yan followed the captain's instructions and activated the image stone that he had previously held in his hand.

next moment.

A huge light curtain appeared next to Yan Yan.

The picture presented is part of Xian Ge's memory.

Due to the reflection of the firelight, this light curtain looks extremely eye-catching in the sea water.

Not only the onlookers in the Execution Square, but also some of the tree people in the forest further away saw the picture on the light screen.

"This is... [City of Giant Woods]?"

"What does that guy want to do?"

At first glance at the scene on the light screen, the tree people were generally more confused than surprised, and they were somewhat indifferent, thinking that this was Yan Yan's way of delaying time.

But soon, when the picture began to change, the tree people couldn't help but be stunned.

They saw that the lush woods turned into a deformed and ugly carpet of flesh.

The thriving tree men turned into rotting mummies.

The great and noble [Giant Wood God] turned into a huge tumor-shaped heart!

"Lord, what on earth is this?"

Seeing the scene in the light curtain, a tree man couldn't help but exclaimed.

When Xia En saw these pictures, he was greatly shocked.

Not to mention these aborigines who originally lived in [City of Giant Trees].

Old Hunter stared blankly at the light screen and murmured desperately.

"Is that really the case?"

"It turns out that [City of Giant Woods] has become like this..."

Even though Hunter had expected the truth of [Seed of Life], the image presented in the light screen still gave him a strong shock.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect tree people to change their deep-rooted thoughts with just a light screen.

Soon, Fana shouted: "Don't panic!"

"That's just an illusion displayed by despicable humans!"

"Think about it carefully, how could the real [City of Giant Woods] look like that?"

Fana's back-and-forth rake works surprisingly well.

After all, compared to a strange outsider, the tree people obviously trust the respected elders within the clan more.

Yan Yan's actions of "making up lies" and "performing illusions" were immediately regarded by the tree people as a more serious act of blasphemy, which aroused their anger.

"Yes, that must be fake!"

"Human beings are indeed despicable and shameless. They sacrificed him to the [Giant Wood God] and washed away this sin with their blood!"

As a result, the tree people attacked Yan Yan like crazy.

In an instant, Yan Yan was surrounded by a sea of ​​trees that Xia En encountered last time!

However, facing the surging enemies, Yan Yan was not afraid at all.

More and more flames rose from his body, violently devouring all the trees near him...

…

…

When the tree people's attention was attracted by the flames in the sea.

In the execution square below.

Two figures were quickly approaching Old Hunter, who was restrained by vines.

"Grandpa Hunter, we are here to save you!"

Hearing this voice, Hunter suddenly woke up from his dejected state.

"Mumu?! Why are you here?"

Mumu said: "Of course I'm here to save you!"

At this time, Hunter also noticed Xia En next to Mumu, and immediately guessed the general context of the matter.

"Young man, did you prepare that light curtain too?"

Xia En nodded and said, "It's me."

"But, Senior Hunter, you should be able to tell that it's not actually an illusion, right?"

Hunter nodded heavily: "Yes, that is probably the true face of [City of Giant Woods] now."

"It's a pity that you came too late."

"If you had come a few decades earlier, you might have made many tree people realize the truth."

"but now……"

Hunter looked at the tree men with angry and fanatical faces, and his heart became heavier.

"Even if they see the truth, they won't believe it."

"I know," Shane said as he cut down the vines around Hunter.

In fact, he had no intention of letting the tree people recognize the reality just by the image of the photo stone.

You can never wake up a person who pretends to sleep.

The tree people in [Giant Tree City] actually have this mentality.

Coupled with the control of [Corruption Seed], it is almost impossible to make them change their minds.

Shane's original intention was just to use this to attract the hatred of the tree people.

If he could plant a seed of truth in the hearts of some awake tree people, it would be great.

Although Shane and the others acted secretly, Fana has always been paying attention to Hunter who was bound.

So, they just untied the vines around Hunter.

Fana noticed the movement here and shouted angrily: "Hunter, do you want to escape?"

Since most of the executioners were dealing with Yan Yan above, the defense force in the square was extremely limited.

Fana simply strode over alone.

Other tree people began to surround them around.

Although Shane's fighting power is strong, he will definitely not be able to run fast with Hunter and Mumu, two burdens.

So, he made a prompt decision and directly activated the [Empty Beast Heart Seal] to open the door to the [Rhine Secret Realm].

"Go in!"

Upon hearing this, Hunter and the others did not hesitate and directly broke into the silver light gate.

The moment he sent the two away, Fana had already arrived in front of Shane.

The unusually thick branch arm was swung out!

Boom!

Shane did not dodge and punched Fana.

The sea water surged and rolled, instantly stirring up a lot of mud and sand.

Fana took a step back, while Shane took several steps back.

In terms of strength alone, he was actually at a disadvantage!

This means that, according to the rank, Fana is at least a fifth or sixth rank existence!

However, Shane is smaller and more flexible.

It is obviously unrealistic for Fana to keep him.

At present, old Hunter is safe, and Shane can actually retreat.

But suddenly.

As the mud and sand rolled, Shane saw a piece of statue fragment buried under the mud and sand.

It was half a broken woman's face.

Shane recognized it at first sight. It was the fragment of the statue of the elf goddess!

There was a mysterious smile on the corner of the goddess' mouth.

But her state at this time could only be described as miserable and pitiful.

For some reason, Shane took out the silver pocket watch that he had been carrying with him.

The next moment.

With a "click".

The pointer of the silver pocket watch paused and froze at this moment.

Not only the pocket watch, but everything around Shane, the excited tree people, the angry Fana, the flames burning in the sea...

Everything, everything, all froze at this moment.

But then, the pointer began to rotate counterclockwise.

The mud and sand gradually fell back, and the statue fragments hidden around gathered together by themselves to form the appearance of a statue.

The broken walls and ruins on all sides were repaired and restored by an invisible force, turning back into a majestic temple.

Time began to flow backwards!
