After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 237 Teasing
It is different from the real power brought by the growth of [Physique].

The growth of [Spirituality] is more superficial and more spiritual, but it is not inferior to [Physical] at all.

It can only be said that the two have different emphases and complement each other.

Taking the two spiritual-enhancing treasures [Level Gold Droplet] and [Forest Dawn Droplet] allowed Ryan's spirituality to rise significantly without rank promotion.

-

[Spirituality]: 372.8→432.8
[Physique]: 448.16
-

The gap between [Spirituality] and [Physique], which were originally widened, are now close to each other. This sense of harmony makes Ryan's eyes feel comfortable, and he can't help but think about it.

He always felt that there was a huge secret between [spirituality] and [body], but unfortunately, he had no way of knowing it now.

Without rushing to teleport away from the tree house, Ryan sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated quietly.

After returning from this trip, he has made great progress physically and spiritually. Although with his current swordsmanship, it is not a problem to use the sudden increase in power, but it will take some time for the body's instinct to adapt. In this way, he will be able to exert his full potential. One hundred percent combat power.

Inside the Holy Tree...

Ryan had a hunch that everything he wanted to know would be revealed there.

And in such dangerous places, the stronger the strength, the more secure it is.

The meditation time passed by in a hurry, and before I knew it, 10 hours passed by quietly.

Inside the tree house.

Ryan slowly opened his eyes, and in his pupils, there was a blue and red light flowing, and soon disappeared.

"almost……"

He whispered to himself.

Although the Azure Swordsmanship and the Burning Flame Swordsmanship are promoted to the Grandmaster level through trickery, even the weakest Grandmaster level is still a Grandmaster. With the blessing of the Grandmaster's insights, Ryan's proficiency in these two swordsmanships has increased rapidly.

He thought to himself that it wouldn't be long before he could elevate these two swordsmanships to the true master level.

By then, with the fusion of the swordsmanship of the three masters, his strength will surely be further improved.

It is even possible to glimpse the realm above the master.

"call……"

Sighing slightly, Ryan stood up.

He stepped into the slowly flowing emerald green magic circle not far ahead. With a flash of light, he returned to the Palace of the Tree King where the Forest Princess Evelina was.

"So fast?"

Seeing Ryan walking out of the teleportation circle, Princess Evelina of the Forest was a little surprised.

Although the effect of [Forest Morning Droplet] is very mild, it is normal for a normal transcendent to adapt to such a huge spiritual improvement for three to five days.

And what about the Great Swordsman? It only takes less than half a day, even if I count all my efforts.

Suppressing the surprise in her eyes, the Forest Princess Evelina calmed down and asked: "Are you ready?

Ryan nodded.

"In that case, please follow me." Princess Evelina of the Forest turned around and walked towards the clear pool behind with her graceful back.

Ryan raised his eyebrows.

The Princess of the Forest, Evelina, had always asked him to pass through the teleportation circle, but now he was walking normally, which made him feel a little strange.

But this thought only flashed through his mind. Ryan raised his feet and followed the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, to the pool. He looked at the clear and translucent pool and waited for the other party's next arrangement.

The girl leaned down and tapped the calm pool with her slender fingers, causing violent ripples to appear on the surface.

"If you want to enter the inside of the Holy Tree, the only way is at the Palace of the Tree King."

"This is the most heavily defended place in the entire Kingdom of Trees. Even if someone breaks through the defense here, without my opening, even if the true god comes, he will not be able to shake the 'Thorn Seal' at the entrance."

Under Ryan's gaze, the liquid level in the violently turbulent pool began to drop rapidly, and soon a dark, bottomless hole was revealed.

"Let's go."

The Princess of the Forest, Evelina said, took a step forward and fell into the pit.

Ryan hesitated for a moment, but followed closely.

"Wow..."

The whistling air flow flew past both sides, and it fell a long distance. With a "pop" sound, Ryan felt like he had fallen into a liquid surface.

At this time, the surrounding darkness was dispelled by a ball of green light. The forest princess Evelina, suspended in mid-air, looked at Ryan who fell into the water, with a strange look in her beautiful eyes.

She really didn't expect that Mr. Big Swordsman was so powerful, but he couldn't fly...

After the initial surprise, she felt more admiration for his strength.

The inability to fly is not a matter of strength, but because the realm has not reached the fifth level, and as a fourth-level body, he has the strength of a sixth-level demigod...

With such talent, even for a race of gods, this is nothing more than that, right?
Looking at the calm and elegant forest princess above, and then at himself like a drowned rat, Ryan walked out of the water in silence.

His body shook, and his spiritual energy exploded, scattering all the water droplets on his body.

The Princess of the Forest, Evelina, took the initiative to land from mid-air and came to Ryan's side. The emerald-green light ball in her hand flew forward, reflecting a huge wooden passage covered with thorns and no gaps in sight.

"This is the 'Seal of Thorns'. As long as you enter from here, you can reach the inside of the holy tree." Evelina said softly, and then smiled: "Mr. Great Swordsman, you should try the strength of the Seal. ?”

Seeing the smile in the other person's eyes, Ryan knew that the consequences of coming into contact with the Seal of Thorns would not be good.

But deep down, he was really curious about the "Thorn Seal".

What kind of seal is it that even true god-level beings can't do anything about?
And since Evelina dares to let him try it, it means that a simple attempt will not bring life danger, and even won't cause any injuries.

Thinking of this, Ryan stepped forward, came to the "Thorn Seal", raised his hand and touched one of the thorns.

The moment the fingers wearing dark gold gloves came into contact with the thorns, Ryan felt an indescribable sharp pain from his body to his soul. Instinctively, he immediately withdrew his fingers.

It took him a full minute to recover from the severe pain, with his face a little distorted.

Just a thorn...

And the number of thorns in the wooden passage that is unknown how long is in front of us is simply incalculable.

The corners of Ryan's eyes twitched.

The contact just now not only caused him unbearable pain, but also caused his vitality to drop by one percent of the total.

If it were fixed at 1% per second, it would be okay. If every time a thorn comes into contact, the total vitality needs to be reduced by 1% per second, then the scene...

No wonder the true God cannot do anything about it.

Seeing Ryan's deflated appearance, the forest princess Evelina chuckled lightly. Instead of adding salt to someone's wound, she came to the wooden passage and cut the skin on the belly of her index finger. .

Bright red blood beads with emerald light flew out from the wound one by one and landed on the thorns.

After waiting for about ten minutes, all the thorns in the wooden passage began to shrink, and soon, an unobstructed passage appeared in front of Ryan. "Please, Mr. Great Swordsman." Princess Evelina of the Forest took the initiative to come forward. Ryan did not dare to neglect and quickly followed.

He noticed that the passage behind him was closed again as he and Forest Princess Evelina advanced.

Obviously, the blood of the forest elves is just a medium, and what really controls this "Thorn Seal" is something deeper.

Along the way, thanks to the illumination of the green light ball suspended above the head, it did not appear dark. After about half an hour, a bright outline appeared in the passage ahead.

We are reaching the end of the passage!
Ryan perked up.

Being in the wooden passage, he was always in a state of fear.

Although he knew that with the control of the Forest Princess Evelina, the thorns would not really fall on him, but if... once he was penetrated by so many thorns, he would die of pain from them.

Fortunately, it's finally over.

After walking out of the wooden passage, the fresh air that greeted him made Ryan relax all over.

The next moment, as the scene ahead came into view, a deep look of shock appeared on Ryan's face.

Before entering this place, he had many speculations about the situation inside the holy tree.

A world full of giant trees? A normal world like the outside world?

too much too much...

But the scene that emerged before him still exceeded his expectations.

The first thing that caught my eye was the tree wall that was as deep and boundless as the starry sky, with a little bit of starlight.

I don't know how high it is, I don't know how far it is, it feels like I have really arrived in the infinite universe, and my sense of insignificance has never been so strong.

After more than ten seconds, Ryan recovered from the shock and set his sights on the giant cocoon with an extremely strong presence in the center of the holy tree.

The starlight weaves into silk, forming a huge cocoon that is more than a kilometer high.

The vigorous vitality rushes towards the face, as if facing the essence of the word "life".

"Holy Saint..."

Looking at this giant cocoon of starlight, this word immediately came to Ryan's mind.

"As expected." At the same time, the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, standing next to Ryan, also spoke in an extremely complicated tone: "Lady Diana, she voluntarily died."

"And she could only do it for one reason."

"That is, she is absolutely sure that the new member of the Cyan Dragon born from the 'Holy Return' has more outstanding talents than her."

"And now, this 'Green Cocoon' is about to hatch..."

"Something's wrong!"

Suddenly, the tone of Princess Evelina of the Forest suddenly changed. Her eyes stared at the flashing gray marks on the "Green Cocoon", and her face turned pale.

Because of the excessive shock, the energy fluctuations in her body leaked and became disordered.

"The peak of demigods?"

On the side, the energy fluctuations leaked from the forest princess Evelina, Ryan roughly guessed the girl's strength.

However, what concerned him more was the cause of the girl's unexpected incident.

"Your Highness, what did you find?"

This time, Ryan's response was a long silence.

A full ten minutes later, the somewhat lost Princess Evelina looked at Ryan with a pale face: "...After all, it's still too late."

"Tell me first, what exactly happened?" Ryan said in a deep voice.

"...Now that things have happened, there is nothing to hide." Princess Evelina of the Forest lowered her head and said in a lifeless tone: "The Kingdom of Trees is an empire based on the sacred tree, and it is also the entire empire. The most powerful country in the world.”

"All spirits bow their heads and all living beings are vassal, but that was a situation thousands of years ago."

"At that time, in the Kingdom of Trees, the number of true gods of seventh level and above could not be counted on one hand, and the number of sixth-level demigods was in the dozens or hundreds."

"The reason why it has declined to what it is today in just a thousand years is because of an 'unknown' invasion."

"It is different from spirituality and magic, but another kind of energy with completely different attributes and properties."

"He is formless and formless. When he first appeared, no one noticed it. When someone finally showed his sexual characteristics, it was already too late."

"Scholars named this 'unknown' existence 'Empty', because the energy in the body of a creature corroded by 'Empty' will disappear and be replaced by the terrifying and arrogant power of the body."

Speaking of this, the Princess of the Forest, Evelina, looked at Ryan with some waves in her eyes.

The powerful physical strength is somewhat similar to that of the Great Swordsman...

"Because of the emergence of 'empty', the number of strong people has gradually withered. The more powerful the existence, the easier it is to be eroded by 'empty'. Only in the core circle of the holy tree can we avoid the invasion of 'empty'."

"It's just that when everyone knows this information, more than 90% of the powerful people have become Sora's puppets."

"The remaining strong men joined the Kingdom of Trees. While surviving, they also relied on the power of the holy tree to resist the powerful 'Puppet of the Sky'."

"Now, Kong has invaded even the inside of the Holy Tree..."

"Those gray lights are exactly the characteristics of 'empty'..."

The Princess of the Forest, Evelina, lowered her tone to a low tone, and the despair contained in it was something that someone like Ryan who had never experienced it could not understand.

"Calm down." Ryan said in a harsh tone: "Now, what should we do."

"Is there any room for redemption?"

Ryan's scolding slowly restored the confusion in Princess Evelina's eyes: "...I'm not sure."

"But now that it's over, there's only one way left."

"Stop the Saint."

"Due to the intervention of 'Kong', once the 'Saint Resurrection' is completed, what will be born will no longer be the green dragon that protects the holy tree, but will be the 'Puppet of the Sky' that becomes stronger based on the blue dragon. "

"At that time, no one will be able to compete."

"The Kingdom of Trees, and even the entire world, will completely lose hope."

There is only one way to stop the Holy Return, and that is to crush the Green Cocoon before the Holy Return is completed! '

"But the intensity of 'Cang Qing Cocoon'..."

Before Princess Evelina of the Forest finished speaking, Ryan took a step forward.

"You should have told me earlier."

Ryan smiled, raised his hand to hold the hilt of the big sword behind him, and came to the thousand-meter-large "Green Cocoon":

"When I first saw this thing, I wanted to try it to see if its shell was harder or if my sword was sharper."
