Chapter 738 – Spy within a Spy within a Spy within a Spy

Shia blanched, but her mouth replied uncontrollably.

“Yes, it’s the wishing candle.”

Just after answering, he clenched his teeth with a helpless face.

With that, Shia accelerated and rushed towards Bestana.

Bestana similarly unleashed a large amount of roots at Shia, and suddenly wasn’t worried about the tree seed in Shia’s body, but was ready to use force to directly suppress Yasha.

“Since the Wishing Candle has appeared, I don’t need to care about the Tree Heart!”

Bestana suddenly stopped suppressing her emotions, and what was left of her human face began to twist like a demon.

Shia approached Bestana while trying to avoid the roots coming from behind in front of him, and when he couldn’t avoid them, he unleashed the power of the tree’s heart to directly remove the roots that touched him.

Despite the help of the tree heart’s power, Shia still had a few more wounds on his body because he couldn’t react fast enough.

The skin on the edges of the wounds became rough and brown, just like the bark of a tree.

But at this point, Shia no longer had time to deal with the wounds and the contamination on them.

“Damn it, the Wishing Candle was originally meant to be used at this time, but it had to be used on that bearded man earlier.”

Without his bottom card, Shia had to use his perseverance and agile observation to dodge a root that was stabbing at him, and painstakingly approached Bestana.

But just when Shia was about to touch Bestana, he was still pierced through his thighs and belly by two root whiskers that came from the left and right respectively, and could no longer move forward.

Shia was helpless, he had already felt the roots that pierced his belly searching for the tree seed inside his soul, if he let the other party take the tree seed, he would no longer have the ability to resist.

And the way Bestana had just looked, it was clear that she no longer cared very much about the intactness of the tree seed.

She was afraid that by forcing the tree seed out even though it was damaged, she was waiting for Shaya to lose the tree seed’s shelter so that she could seize his wishing candle again.

Without the tree seed shelter, it would be difficult for Shia to resist his opponent’s manipulation when Bestana was on the defensive.

Becoming a puppet, he would definitely hand over the Wishing Candle uncontrollably.

“Absolutely not!” Thinking of this, Shia was already in a rage, “The Wishing Candle is my last hope! No matter who it is, don’t even think of taking it away!”

Shia took one last look at the amber tooth in her hand, “It still can’t touch her …… but at this distance, it should work. Whatever, if I don’t use it again, I won’t have a chance!”

Shia crushed the gray substance wrapped around the outside of the white tooth with one hand, as simple as pinching off the outer skin of a peanut.

Before crushing the outer skin of the white fangs, Shia didn’t have time to think about what the weapon Saul had given him was.

And when he crushed the outer skin of the white pointed teeth, he completely lost the ability to think.

Therefore, he didn’t get to see the expression of the originally still crazy Bestana who suddenly became incredibly frightened and even became hysterical after seeing the white fangs and feeling its aura.

“Anchor, anchor point ！！！！”

Bestana jerked back.

It was the first time she had ever moved within the space of the heart of the tree.

Hundreds of roots attached to her body were ripped off as she moved.

The pain was immense as if someone had reached into her body to rip out her tendons.

But even though she was enduring this terrible pain, Bestana still didn’t stop her backward movement.

At this point, she had already forgotten about wishing for candles and was only thinking about running.

It wasn’t until she retreated to the edge of the tree heart space that Bestana had to stop.

But this stop also allowed her nearly chaotic consciousness to smooth out slightly.

It was only then that she noticed that the anchor point that had made her heart stop in fear surprisingly had not erupted in a terrifying black tide of pollution.

At the very least, she hadn’t turned into a statue yet, nor had flowers grown out of the various holes in her body.

“A sealed anchor point?”

There was still a hijacked weakness in her voice.

The current Bestana wasn’t a true Third Order after all, and thus feared the Black Tide contamination more than she had in her lifetime.

However, because she hadn’t come into direct contact with that tooth, she hadn’t lost her mind like Shia, who had come into direct contact with the anchor point, even though she could also feel the terrifying aura on it.

“Damn it!” After her extreme fear, Bestana turned into extreme anger.

She violently swung her arm that had transformed into a root, stabbing several roots into Shia’s body at once, almost zapping him into a hornet’s nest.

She then gave another yank, directly ripping a large hole in Shaya’s stomach.

A brown seed was entangled by the root whiskers and carefully brought out from Shia’s stomach.

Bestana carefully avoided the teeth in Shia’s hand and prepared to retrieve the seed first. Only by retrieving the tree seed would she have enough strength to move Shaya out of the tree heart space along with the damn anchor point in his hand.

Only then would she dare to breathe a sigh of relief and then take her time to finish off Shaya.

But just as Bestana was about to reabsorb the tree seed into herself, the change regenerated!

A silver-colored shadow suddenly rushed to the side of the tree seed at an extremely fast speed, like lightning, and grabbed the tree seed that was entangled by two roots with one hand.

Bestana didn’t expect that at this time there would even be a lifeless spirit body that dared to grab something in front of her.

Instantly, more root whiskers surged towards that silver-colored figure, as if vowing to zap that thief into a puddle of mud!
Although the silver-colored figure was fast, it had to stay in place in order to snatch the tree seed.

When the many roots were about to destroy the silver shadow, an even smaller silver shadow was drilled out of the silver shadow’s body.

This time, what appeared was actually a silver-colored metal-like butterfly.

With a flap of its wings, the butterfly didn’t seem to be fast, but it entered Bestana’s brow in an instant.

And Bestana, who was already deflated, immediately closed her eyes and hung her head as if asleep.

And those roots that were about to pierce through the silver-colored shadow all stilled and stopped.

[Quick!

Penny’s voice sounded in Herman’s mind.

[Got it!

A silver-colored Herman hurriedly took the opportunity to take out the tree seed from the still roots.

The very next second he got the tree seed, the surrounding root whiskers suddenly moved again.

Bestana surprisingly woke up within a breath.

At the same time, the silver-colored Nightmare Butterfly was directly shaken out of her body.

Seeing this, Herman said nothing and directly fused the heart of the tree.

“I’m going to …… kill you all!!!”

Bestana felt that she was being teased, and all of her previous emotions turned into boundless rage.

As she roared, the densely packed roots that seemed like a rainstorm stabbed at Herman and Penny at the same time.

But Herman, who had gotten the heart of the tree, had the ability to move in the space of the heart of the tree like Shia before.

His figure instantly disappeared, and then he also immediately hid just like Shia.

Penny, however, didn’t have the ability to instantly move away.

But she wasn’t scared at all, and even mocked Bestana.

“Hmph, master made a good deal with you and you tried to kill master, you deserve to be left here alone in the end to turn into a puddle of mud!”

Sharp roots stabbed at the Nightmare Butterfly in rows, however, when the whistling sound of the roots passed, the Nightmare Butterfly that was originally stopped in the air disappeared without a trace.

It was as if it had also gotten its hands on the tree seed and possessed the ability to instantly move in the space of the tree’s heart.

But there was only one Tree Seed, how on earth did it leave?
For the first time, Bestana revealed a puzzled to shocked expression, could it be that the Inverted Tree had been taken over by someone else?

Otherwise how could so many things happen in just a few seconds that she couldn’t comprehend?
Bewildered with panic, Bestana immediately turned her head to look for Shia who had been contaminated by the anchor point to the point of losing consciousness.

However!
Instead, she realized in despair that Shia was surprisingly not here either!

Within the pitch-black space, only a white tooth remained, silently suspended.

“No！！！！！”

Bestana almost went mad.

Although the anchor point was in a sealed state, the pollution slowly emanating from it could still turn the weakened Bestana into …… a puddle of slime with the addition of time!
“…… Sacrifice ……” The desperate Bestana could only think of this only way.

She was going to sacrifice the souls of all the people in the inner and outer cities of Kaoguiste, the surrounding towns, to the Tree of Inversion, and feed herself with the lives of all the people who stepped on this land!
“Ah ！！！！”

A sharp whistling sound.

An invisible fluctuation traveled through the earth.

A brown branch as if it was a hundred-year-old tree drilled out from the ground, then instantly burst, scattering a large amount of black smoke, wrapped in the aroma of green grass, from the inner city to the outer city, and finally not even sparing the surrounding towns.

The loud and continuous blasting sound immediately resounded through the heavens and earth!

Finally resumed the previous update time, don’t know how long it will last.
