[ Root Network: A derivative ability from Vitality Touch Mark and Verdant Crown, capable of automatically Spread roots within its territory and transmitting large amounts of information and matter. Currently, the network covers the entire Aduolin Province.]

Ed, located in Valhalla, opened his eyes and assessed his current physical condition.

Although I don't know exactly what the so-called "max level" is in this world, I am already considered to be a fairly decent existence among the Middle Tier.

The players' "tribute," Antiya Lisi's "legacy," the remnants of those Stained Ones after the Battle of Fir City...

Ed finally took another step forward. This time, instead of distributing his special attribute points evenly, he focused on increasing his Plant Compatibility, because he had a very important task to do.

He closed his eyes again, and his clone in Fir City re-entered the game, emerging from the cathedral's lounge.

Duma had just sensed a very obvious surge of power, which represented another increase in his individual strength.

As a High Tier demon, he hadn't felt this way in a long time.

The towering demon bowed deeply to the boy before him.

" My Son of God, where would you like to go?"

Do you know where the Soul Returner put the Treant Hunter captives?

Duma thought for a moment and said:

"I'm not sure about that, but there's one Treant Hunter who's a bit special; you could ask him."

[ Howling Pothos ]'s NPC friend, Enzo the Tree Man, came to Ed. Although he was called a Tree Man, he looked exactly like a large tree that could grow its own roots and walk independently.

Antiya Lisi is dead, and the toxins in their bodies have gone out of control and can no longer restrain them.

However, the evil the archbishop did to them did not disappear; instead, the lack of restraint has prevented him from transforming back into a human.

While Antiya Lisi was still alive, the Treant Hunter would only reveal their Treant form at night, and during the day they would transform into humanoid monsters that were about 90% similar to humans and return to the prison below the cathedral.

But even though it was already daytime, Enzo still appeared before Ed in the form of a tree-man.

"You're Enzo? I heard you helped the Soul Returner a lot during the previous infiltration operation and this battle."

Enzo, in his tree-man form, was three or four meters tall, but in front of Ed, he looked like a timid little child.

Although the one-eyed boy in front of him looked to be about the same age as himself, a sense of awe welled up within him.

"Don't be afraid, Antiya Lisi is dead. You and your friends are safe, and your families will be protected by us from now on."

Ed touched Enzo's bark, and the tree-man shifted awkwardly, seemingly unaccustomed to being treated gently.

"I called you here to ask if you'd be willing to be the first tree-person to revert to human form. I won't lie to you; reverse Tree Transformation and detaching from the Symbiotic Tree are actually very painful. If you don't want to revert, you can still live in Fir City in this form. At least the Soul Returner won't discriminate against you."

Ed left the choice to Enzo. For a child who was just over ten years old, such a choice would be difficult, but Ed hoped that he could take responsibility for his future, after all, he was one of the few among the Treant Hunter who could think for himself.

And objectively speaking, he wasn't lying. The local residents of Fir City might be afraid of these tree-men, but players would definitely be eager to take photos with them.

Some people, like [ Clear Soup Master ], are still organizing documents in the underground archives, trying to find a stable method for Tree Transformation and publishing it on the forum.

Tree Transformation is poised to become a new combat style following Dragon Transformation and Blood Corpse Transformation, and there is no reason for players to discriminate against it.

Enzo fell into deep thought. To be fair, as a boy born into an ordinary family in Fir City, the fact that he could still maintain his sanity after being completely Tree Transformation by Antiya Lisi already demonstrated his extraordinary talent.

Although he couldn't openly defy the rules Antiya Lisi established through poison, he had actually been testing the loopholes in the rules under the tutelage of [ Howling Pothos ] for a long time and had successfully passed many potentially fatal checks.

Enzo fell into thought. He knew that his current power was forbidden, but he was indeed much stronger than ordinary people. For a young man whose mind was not yet mature, the temptation of power should not be underestimated.

But as the faces of his family flashed through his mind, Enzo reaffirmed his resolve. He looked at Ed earnestly and said:

"Please let me turn back into a human. I want to see my family."

"Good."

Ed nodded and placed his hand on Enzo's bark. Judging from the height, it was only about the bend of his knee, but the effect of the ability did not differ from the location of application.

Enzo felt a pain Spread upwards from his lower body. He felt very uncomfortable, and to avoid falling, he involuntarily stuck his roots into the broken ground of the cathedral, disguising himself as a roadside tree in the main prayer hall.

"Click."

A branch on the right side of his body was dry and broke off, hitting the ground and shattering into several pieces.

Enzo felt a little dizzy, and after making sure the roots were firmly anchored, he gradually lost consciousness.
