Chapter 51 - Save Me
Chapter 51: Save Me
The thin and long branches quickly slithered on the ground, making a hissing sound.
“Ohh–” Mo Chu was tightly entangled. Her entire body was almost lifted into the air, and she was dragged backward.
The battle with the wild boar had already consumed more than half of her elemental energy. At this moment, Mo Chu wanted to struggle, but it was of little use. Instead, it had exhausted her greatly.
After a while, the branches finally stopped. Mo Chu was thrown onto the ground. A large number of branches flew up and surrounded her.
Mo Chu could not help but feel wary. When she raised her head to look, her eyes suddenly widened!
Holy shit!
What kind of tree was this? It was so tall and so thick!
In front of Mo Chood a towering tree. The lush branches crisscrossed, almost covering the entire sky. One could not see the end.
The surroundings were silent. There was no sound, but it was quite frightening.
Mo Chu stood up and took a deep breath to ease her nerves. However, she could faintly smell the scent of blood. This smell was very faint. If it was an ordinary person, they would not be able to detect it at all.
The smell of blood... Mo Chu suddenly shivered and subconsciously took a few steps back. However, she tripped over something and almost fell. After steadying herself, she looked down and gasped in shock, a cold shiver ran down her spine like a slithering snake. It was a human bone!
Mo Chu’s scalp was tingling as she looked around her. Could it be that all the bones buried under the ground were human bones?
Did the Ghost Tree devour the flesh and blood of special ability users, and then buried their bones under the ground as fertilizer?
At that moment, a few branches suddenly flew toward Mo Chu. Before she could react, they wrapped around her waist and pulled her toward the tree.
Were they preparing to eat her?
Mo Chu trembled slightly. She could feel that her energy element had recovered a little. The water blades in her hands flew toward the tree, but did not cause any harm.
Perhaps it was because it was angered by Mo Chu’s resistance, a few more tree branches flew over and wrapped themselves around her arm, slowly lifting them up. Now that her waist and arms were bound, the branches pulled her toward the tree.
Mo Chu did not know what the tree was doing, but an inexplicable sense of panic started to rise in her heart. She struggled even harder, but it only caused the branches to wrap around her even tighter.
In the end, Mo Chu’s hand touched the tree. The moment she touched it, a strong suction force was transmitted from the tree, and Mo Chu could even clearly feel the elemental energy in her body being drained like flowing water.
Meanwhile, the Ghost Tree that had tasted Mo Chu’s elemental energy was like a drunkard who had seen fine wine. Then, it absorbed the elemental energy at a faster rate.
To the magical plant, the flesh and blood of a special ability user was a great tonic. Moreover, the higher the level of a special ability user, the fewer impurities there would be in their body, which would be more beneficial to the magical plants.
However, who would have thought that a special ability user like Mo Chu would appear?
Although her energy level was not high, her elemental energy was extremely pure. That strong fragrance had been enticing the Ghost Tree from afar. It was because of this that the Ghost Tree had extended its branches into the Outer Ring. It was all for the sake of catching this fellow. If it could suck her flesh and blood clean, its cultivation would be able to rise to a higher level!
After tasting such a delicacy, the branches of the Ghost Tree danced in the air, as if wanting to express their joy.
At this moment, Mo Chu was already feeling a little dizzy. It was as if she had run a 2,000-meter race on an empty stomach. Her entire body was weak. If she relaxed, she would definitely faint.
In her daze, she seemed to see a large protruding round piece on the right side of the tree that was emitting a faint white light.
Mo Chu’s eyes lit up. She stood on her tiptoes and twisted her body to an unbelievable angle. She bit off the round piece in one bite. She did not have time to chew on it and immediately swallowed it into her stomach!
Hmph! Even if she died, she had to bite off a large piece of its flesh!
“Hiss hiss–”
The instant Mo Chu bit off the round piece, the Ghost Tree immediately let go of her. Its branches shook non-stop, and the branches around it flew up and fell down, landing on the ground with a loud thud, it seemed to be wailing in pain.
This sound woke Mo Chu up a little. She could not care about anything else. She struggled to get up from the ground and stumbled forward.
She did not know how long she had been running. When her footsteps gradually slowed down, she realized that there was a burning pain rising from her abdomen. It was as if someone had set a fire inside her. It was raging and burning vigorously.
Not only that, the burning pain spread to other places. It was so painful that Mo Chu wanted to scream. However, she was worried that the sound would attract other magical beasts. She could only try her best to hold it in. She bit on her lips so hard that they were bleeding, dripping down and staining the ground below.
Mo Chu barely endured the pain and took a few more steps forward. In the end, she could not hold on any longer and fell down.
It hurt, it really hurt!
Mo Chu hugged her abdomen. Cold sweat was breaking out on her head. She felt that the intense fire was about to burn her entire body into ashes. All of her pores were emitting heat, and her entire body was drenched in sweat.
If anyone were to see Mo Chu’s current condition, they would definitely be shocked speechless.
She was lying on the ground, her body curled up into a ball. The fiery red light was like a transparent light barrier, enveloping her entire body within it.
Mo Chu did not know that the round piece she had swallowed earlier was the essence that the Ghost Tree had accumulated over the years. It did not expect to be defeated by Mo Chu like this. It was at tier 7, and it had swallowed the flesh and blood of many high-level special ability users in order to fuse such a large piece of energy source. How could Mo Chu eat so much at once with her small body?
Fortunately, the Blood Luminescent Beast had given her a god fruit that could expand her meridians. Otherwise, Mo Chu would have been blown up by such a large amount of energy!
However, now, she could only rely on her willpower to endure it.
“It hurts!” Mo Chu bit her lips tightly. In her heart, she had cursed that damned Ghost Tree countless times. “Wait for me... Once I’m done with this, I will definitely make you feel ten times the torture. I, I will f*cking kill you!”
For a long time, Mo Chu felt her body being burned over and over again. By the time it stopped, her body was already numb.
Finally, the red light gradually dissipated, and this energy obediently entered Mo Chu’s body, circulating through her meridians over and over again.
After this, Mo Chu was already exhausted. Also, her elemental energy had almost been sucked dry by the Ghost Tree. She was now extremely weak. Just as Mo Chu was about to faint, she noticed the appearance of a few figures. She could not help but feel delighted. “Save... save me, please!”
