He moved a little closer.
Without the paper dollâs vision this time, he could see the Undying Clan members who were offering
their blood with his own eyes.
At first, Alex was a little worried that he would be discovered. But soon, he noticed a problem with
species performing the sacrifice.
They had no reaction at all. Blood was still flowing, yet he could no longer sense any living aura from
them.
They were dead!
Or rather, this kind of sacrifice to the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld required a living sacrifice.
How evil!
Alex gently pushed an Undying Clan member. Its body that was kneeling on the ground suddenly fell,
but it was in a bizarre posture. Although it had fallen to the ground, half of its bottom was still glued
firmly to the ground.
âAre they all dead?â
All of a sudden, a voice rang in Alexâs ears. When he turned around, he saw Shado.
âWhy did you come here?â Alex was slightly startled and frowned.
âI⦠I just came here to take a look. You donât mind, do you?â Clearly, Shadoâs grinning look indicated
that she was a restless person. Otherwise, she wouldnât have found Alex in great Genbuâs stomach
and bring him back.â
âAs long as youâre not afraid of death, what else can I say? Life is yours.â
Shado shrugged. âWhat am I afraid of? Isnât it the same as the survival of the Naga tribe? Anyway, we
wonât be able to die a natural death⦠Oh, wrong. Now that youâve appeared, you can help us to lift the
curses. We shouldnât be able to turn into stone people from the curse manifesting. But, the great
Genbu wonât hold out any longer. We will die faster instead, but Iâm not afraid!â
âThen what are you afraid of?â
âI⦠What Iâm afraid the most is boredom.â
As she said that, she slapped an Undying Clan member with her palm. As a result, the Undying
suddenly shattered with a clang like porcelain. However, a chunk of something remained in the body.
âOh my, what kind of species is this? Why is it so bizarre?â Shado immediately screamed after taking a
closer look.
She only saw a small sapling remaining in the shattered body after it had turned into a pile of slag on
the ground. The sapling was bloody and full of evil energy, with an appearance just like the Earth-
devouring Tree of Netherworld.
âThis is the Earth-devouring Tree of Netherworld,â Alex solemnly said.
As he said so, he violently slapped the Undying Clan member next to him with his palm. Similarly, there
was a small Earth-devouring Tree inside it after shattering.
âThis one has it too!â
âThis one also has it⦠This one has it too⦠Alex, all of these Undying Clan members have turned into
trees after death. This⦠is too bizarre. Iâve never heard of such a thing, but I wonder if my grandma
knows about it?â Shado said as she looked at Alex, probably implying that she needed to head back to
ask her grandmother.
Just as Alex was about to speak, a tree root abruptly emerged from the ground, wrapping around
Shado.
âAhh! Alex, save me!â
