"Stop!"
Lynn suddenly grasped the master silver sword behind his back and drew out a section of it.
The body leaned forward slightly, as if the direwolf could pounce at any time.
The free left hand made a Aard Sign gesture, ready to go.
Triss, who was following the demon hunter, recited a few spells and created a blazing flame in his hands.
She followed Lynn's line of sight and looked over.
A few seconds later, a forest wolf suddenly appeared from behind the trees in front of him.
She planned to throw the fireball in her hand, but was stopped by Lynn.
After being reminded by Lynn, she noticed that the forest wolf was different from the dead wolf they had encountered before.
Although its fur was covered with leaves and mud, its eyes were not red, there were no wounds on its body, and it did not emit a rotten smell.
It is still alive, not a dead wolf.
After the forest wolf jumped out of the tree, he also saw the two of them.
But it didn't attack either of them.
Instead, he turned around and quickly fled in another direction.
Looking at it, it looked like something scary was chasing it.
It seemed that the wolf was about to escape, but at this moment, several dark tree roots suddenly appeared in the darkness, like the tentacles of an octopus, jumping out from the depths of the forest, grabbing the body of the forest wolf and wrapping it tightly around it.
The wolf struggled desperately, clawing hard at the mud with its front paws, but even though it left countless claw marks on the mud, it was still dragged by the roots of the tree, dragged deep into the forest, and disappeared.
The witcher and the sorceress looked at each other, and they could see each other's horror in each other's eyes.
It seems that the people who disappeared from their minds also disappeared in this way.
Lynn put a Quen Shield on himself, and Triss also added a magic shield on himself.
Just move on.
When the two came to the deepest part of the forest, they were immediately shocked by the scene they saw in front of them.
In the deepest part of the forest, there is a tree.
A giant tree.
The bark is dark and green sap flows on the surface.
Like huge umbrellas, there are storage bags hanging underneath the tree canopy that blocks out the sky and sun.
But if you look carefully, you will find that those trapped in the bags are all human beings
People who are still alive.
Ser Royce, Tyrion, Marillion...
Each one of them was wrapped in a bag wrapped around branches, with only their heads exposed.
And around the roots of the giant tree, there were a large number of beast corpses lying on the ground in kneeling postures.
Lynn noticed that the forest wolf that was dragged away earlier was being held up in the air by branches.
Another dark tree root, despite the forest wolf's fearful and desperate struggle, suddenly penetrated through its mouth that was wide open in pain due to the squeeze.
The wolf struggled even more violently.
But it's no use.
In the end, the forest wolf's struggle became weaker and weaker, until it was completely motionless, and the branches lowered it and placed it around the giant tree, making it kneel beside it in a worshiping posture.
"That's it, that's it," Triss said with trembling pupils, "I know what kind of monster this is."
"Do you recognize it?"
Kaer Morhen's collection of books is incomplete.
Because Kaer Morhen once suffered a siege, many important materials and documents were burned to the ground.
Although a survivor of that massacre, Vesemir worked hard to recall and rewrite the missing information.
But there are still some data that are lost forever.
Triss nodded with a solemn expression.
"In the Aretuza Academy's library, information about this monster is recorded. It is either a monster brought by Conjunction of the Spheres, or a native race of this world."
"Mother Tree of Flesh, feeds on intelligent creatures, devouring them and turning them into energy for its continued existence in the world. Even the traces of existence of intelligent creatures swallowed by it will be erased, and even the closest people will forget their existence."
"That's why we don't remember the others who came with us."
Lynn frowned slightly.
"Then Eye of Nehaleni can see the footprints left by those forgotten people. What's going on?"
Triss kept staring at the terrifying giant tree. She said, "This is because Mother Tree of Flesh has not completely digested them, so Eye of Nehaleni can see it after breaking the illusion."
"Once it's completely digested, even Eye of Nehaleni won't be able to notice it."
"In addition, Mother Tree of Flesh doesn't like animals and beasts, so it will not devour them, but will only transform them into slaves."
"If I remember correctly, the method of transformation is to kill them first, and then parasitize the roots of Mother Tree of Flesh in their bodies. The roots are similar to parasites and a clone of Mother Tree of Flesh, and can control the actions of the corpse."
When the two discovered Mother Tree of Flesh, Mother Tree of Flesh seemed to have discovered the intruder at the same time.
It obviously has no mouth, but it emits sound waves that are enough to shake the air.
This is like a signal.
The corpses of beasts that were originally kneeling around the giant tree suddenly turned around at the same time, staring at the demon hunter and sorceress with their scarlet eyes.
This scene is really horrifying.
"It's coming."
Lynn took out a bottle of Superior Thunderbolt Potion, a bottle of Superior Petri's Philter, and a bottle of Superior Tawny Owl Potion from the medicine bag, and drank them respectively.
As Mother Tree of Flesh let out a loud howl, a large number of dead wolves surged over like a tide.
Lynn stretched his hands forward, and two hot flames shot out from his palms.
The flames are like fire dragons, sweeping across each other.
Superior Petri's Philter and "Mutation Enhancement" expertise greatly increase the power of Igni Sign.
The dead wolves that rushed at the front were instantly burned when they touched the flames, as if their bodies were covered with grease, and they whined in pain.
Seeing this, the wolves following behind actually knew how to detour to both sides, trying to avoid the fire dragon spraying from the front.
"You have been parasitized, but can you still retain the cunningness of your life? I hate smart monsters."
Complaints were complaints, but the movement of the witcher's hands did not stop.
He took out four glass test tubes from another pocket.
The ice-blue liquid in the test tube flows happily.
The wolves that had detoured from both sides had already pounced hard.
The demon hunter didn't even look at it, and threw the four glass test tubes in his hand to both sides with all his strength.
Then the hands formed Quen Shield and Signs.
Bright orange light enveloped him and Triss.
Along with the sound of breaking glass, it seemed that even the air was frozen.
