The Tree Who Devours - Chapter 8 I Dont Know How Humans Cultivate
The bright glow slowly fades, and a silhouette of a young man appeared. He emanated an imposing aura of nature. This man is no other than Blaive Bach!
The wolf’s eyes gleamed with excitement and the ladies feel relieved. The faces of the bandits looked constipated as they stare at Blaive.
“HAHAHAHAHA! Hey boy! You’re just an Iron Rank II.”
“What a weak and idiot guy. Is he thinking that he can fight us with his cultivation base that low? He really is an idiot!”
“Yeah! Attack him! I really hate people who looked highly of their selves!”
Then after the bandits looked down upon him and berated him, they shifted their attack from the wolf to Blaive.
The wolf got agitated and released its skill, Ice Blast.
The bandits looked in astonishment as their foot froze to the ground, disabling them. Shock filled their faces and it turned grave. A great feeling of danger surged into them.
Bandits on Iron level broke through the ice blast released by the wolf. Unfortunately, Bronze level bandits stuck there with their feet covered in ice.
Cold sweats dripped from their forehead down to their face. Cold sweats covered their body especially to those bandits who are disabled from fleeing because of the effect of Ice Blast.
The Bandits who escaped from the effect of Ice blast are fleeing away from the vicinity of ice blast.
The wolf neared the bronze level bandits and mercilessly cut them into half, sever their heads out of their body and directly devour them. Gore splattered and the blue field of ice is now stained with blood. The scent of blood lingered throughout the battlefield. The bandits started to pant rapidly.
Their clothes drenched with sweat. They looked feared towards the wolf and came into conclusion that ‘if the wolf is that strong, then how strong its master is?’.
Then the gazes of the bandits lock towards Blaive who is standing in the same spot not moving a single inch.
“Attack!” The Iron III Leader of the bandits suddenly shouted. His shout caused his subordinate to frown and think about what should they do. All of them hesitated at the moment but they have no choice left and they rushed towards Blaive.
There are roughly 20 Cultivators left because the others who are on the Bronze level is killed by the wolf.
The princesses had their heart skipped a beat as they saw more than 20 bandits attacking Blaive simultaneously.
Blaive raised his hand and it transformed into a branches tree. The distance between Blaive and the bandits grew smaller. 8 cultivators are leading the others. These bandits are on Iron Level rank II. Before they got closer to Bliave, his hands that turned into branches grew longer and pierced the bandits’ internal organs and died. The branches sucked their life force and Fantasma that their body accumulated over time.
8 Cultivators died because of the sudden attack that Blaive employed. This again caused shock towards the bandits and they started to flee.
Blaive smiled and before they got 20 meters away from Blaive, roots wrapped at their feet and disabling them again. This disabling magic is stronger than the Ice Blast of the wolf.
This bandits are at grave danger and is in the battle of death and life.
As they looked at Blaive, they saw the coldness in his eyes and the determination to kill.
Blaive jumped and plunged onto one of the Bandits and stabbed it with a knife.
This scene again sent the minds of the remaining bandits into turmoil as they wish that they did not trifle with this group earlier.
There are only 8 bandits left, 3 Iron level Rank III and the rest are Iron level Rank II.
They surrounded Blaive. They employed their Magical abilities with different affinities. Wind, earth, fire, lightning, water, light and dark Magical abilities landed on Blaive. He covered himself with a layer of wood, but with his Cultivation base, the wood cannot withstand a barrage of skills from Iron level Rank III and II.
.
White colored blood seeped through Blaive’s mouth. His blood is colored white because it is a sap. Because of his identity as a tree, he does not have crimson colored blood but pure white blood or Sap.
The barrage stopped and they saw Blaive sustained damage from the fight. Wounds covered his body as he lied down on the ground. The expression of the bandit lifts up as they saw that their skill managed to exterminate the guy.
Then, the leader of the Bandit walked towards Blaive. Celic and Celia began to pant heavily. They thought that Blaive is a formidable Cultivator but they realized that Cultivation base hindered him in the battle.
The surrounding Bandits also walked towards Blaive and encircled him. They kicked him, punch and when they cut his fingers using a sword, they gaped in astonishment as they realized that Blaive has white Blood.
“White Blood? What Cultivation method is this guy using? Don’t kill him. He is just unconscious. We need to acquire his cultivation method.” The leader said.
The bandits also felt a bit confused because of the situation. The wolf didn’t attack them and just sitting and watching the situation. ‘Where is the bond between these two? The pet should protect its master.’ this thought lingered in the minds of the remaining bandits.
But then suddenly, Blaive’s body grew larger. This scene made the bandits gaped in astonishment and also they felt grave danger is coming.
Soon, Blaive grew into a large tree that is 50 meters tall and Vines kissing the ground. The vines suddenly wrapped the bandits. They were caught off guard because of the sudden transformation of their enemy.
Celia and Celic sighed in relief as they realized that Blaive is only playing an act. An act to caught his enemy off guard.
“Senior! This is just a misunderstanding. Please spare us.” The Bandit leader said. Tears weep in their eyes as they knew that it is the end of their life.
Blaive did not respond and tightened the vines until it crushed them and died.
[I can rely on my tree form when I was in secluded place. People seeing this will hunt me down.] then Blaive transformed back into human form.
He called the wolf and it devoured the bodies of all bandits. Blaive walked towards the carriage.
“You two should practice how to fight and start cultivating. I will teach you how to do it.” Blaive said to them.
“Thank you for saving us again for the second time Brother Blaive.” Celia said.
“It is my job to protect you.” after Blaive said this, Celia and Celic blushed.
They felt greater veneration towards Blaive. Then the group fixed their selves and moved deeper in the forest with their sturdy carriage pulled by a fire breathing horse.
Somewhere around them, a person whose identity is unknown. Its sex is indistinguishable. This person is standing on the tree as it watches the whole scene.
“Hmmmmmm. Master should know about this guy’s existence.” then it disappeared in a blink of an eye leaving only a black smoke that instantly faded away.
“To cultivate Fantasma you need to….. ” Blaive paused immediately.
” To what?” Celia asked.
“To….. ” Blaive looked embarrassed.
Celia and Celic looked at him confused.
“What is it?” Celic asked.
“I….. Don’t know how humans cultivate… “
