He raised his arm, and to his surprise, he saw a worm-like line protruding from the skin on his hand.
The line slowly swam between his skin and flesh, like a fish swimming in the water. It seemed to be a living creature, or some kind of worm.
"Is this an illusion?" Garon closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the line on his hand disappeared.
He continued to walk towards the cannibal tree, and the branches around him began to sway, densely packed like human hair.
Whoosh …
Countless branches gathered together, and as if they were knitting a sweater, the branches quickly weaved into a butterfly that was a few meters wide. It was a black butterfly.
The butterfly flapped its wings lightly, pulling countless black branches, and floated in front of Garon.
Hiss!
A slit appeared in the middle of the butterfly's body, and it opened like a mouth.
Rip!!
Garon's hands dug deep into the slit in the middle of the butterfly's mouth, and with a rip, the butterfly was torn in half.
"What else do you have? Take it all out. "Garon sneered as he walked towards the cannibal tree.
The woman appeared again, only revealing one eye, and quietly looking at Garon from the left.
Garen reached out his hand abruptly and tried to grab the woman's face, but he grabbed nothing but air. He was a little shocked, and with his speed, he couldn't grab her accurately.
"This farce should end." He raised his right arm, and his entire arm swelled up, and his skin and muscles quickly turned into a terrifying greenish-black color, with traces of metallic luster. He actually activated the first star in an instant.
Aiming at the center of the cannibal tree, he grabbed down with his right hand.
Ah!!!
There was a sharp scream.
Garon's vision blurred, and in that seemingly neutral scream, his right hand stabbed into the cannibal tree's trunk.
When he came back to his senses, he was standing in front of the tree, and the sky was bright, and he could vaguely hear the low cries of Rod and Allen Hill behind him. And the commotion of Allen Hill's subordinates around him.
His right hand was stabbed into the tree trunk, and bright red blood was slowly flowing out from the edge of the tree trunk's wound.
Whoosh …
Pulling out his arm, Garon lowered his head, and looked at his feet.
The soil there had unknowingly separated by itself, and revealed a corner of a slightly black mask.
He crouched down, grabbed the mask, and pulled it out with all his might. That familiar cool current quickly flowed into his arm, it was the potential value.
'You've defeated an invisible creature.' Only then did Black Sethe's voice rang out. 'However, this invisible creature doesn't seem to have much power. Other than the corrosive nature of the cannibal tree and its virus, it only has a little bit of illusory ability. It has no effect on you, but it's a terrifying existence to ordinary people.'
Garon understood. Invisible creatures existed in a world that humans couldn't see. It was an existence that he couldn't understand.
He quickly returned to Rhode's position. Both of them stared at him as if they had seen a ghost.
"Yes, the mask." Garon waved the mask in his hand. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Rhode pointed at Garon's shoulder. His finger trembled as if he had seen something terrifying.
Garon lowered his head and saw that on the skin of his shoulder, there was a thin line that looked like an earthworm. It was as if it was alive and was constantly swimming around his left shoulder.
"It's the curse of the invisible creature," Black Sethe explained. 'Some invisible creatures will cast a curse on the creatures that offend them. However, to you, you only need to go back and purify it with the Void Core. However, to ordinary people, it's as terrifying as a hopeless situation. This thin line is called Gluttony. In the beginning, it will constantly bite the flesh, then it will drill into the organs and devour until the person dies. '
Garon understood. He took out a small piece of purplish black Void Core fragment from his pocket and gently pressed it on the thin line.
Suddenly, a green smoke appeared.
Hiss …
The thin line immediately emitted smoke. Soon, it was completely eliminated by the fragment as if it had been absorbed.
"This thing is a little strange. It seems to be some kind of parasite!" Rhode finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go." Garon held the mask and walked towards the exit of the botanical garden.
Rhode followed closely behind.
Allen Hill stared at him with a complicated expression. Garon did it. He obtained the mask without killing the cannibal tree. He didn't even dig it out. It was as if the cannibal tree had sent it to him.
He turned back to look at the cannibal tree. It was lifeless and seemed to have suffered a lot of damage. However, it was still better than being completely destroyed.
"How's Cole and Kenna?" He asked Maura who was beside him softly.
"We haven't caught them yet. However, I'm afraid they're still looking for an opportunity. This time, the Nighthawk King's sudden appearance must have been leaked by them," Maura replied softly. It was indeed dangerous this time. If it weren't for Rhode, the Nighthawk King would have attacked them directly. If that happened, the Halo would have suffered a lot.
"Can you confirm that Cole and Kenna have nothing to do with the Nighthawk King?" Allen Hill asked softly.
"We've investigated. Kenna was almost killed by the Nighthawk King in Africa. We don't know why they let him go in the end, "Maura replied. Intelligence and tracking were his specialty.
"Then kill them! I'll do it myself! "Allen Hill shifted his hatred. After being beaten up by Garen, he had suffered internal injuries. His precious man-eating tree was also injured, and his mask was taken away. However, he did not even dare to say anything and had to accompany Garen the entire time. This made his anger reach its peak.
Garon who had walked far away retracted his attention. A smile appeared on his face.
He didn't care what Kenna wanted to achieve with him. As long as he achieved his goal, that was enough. As for whether he lived or died, that had nothing to do with him.
*****
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. The weather in Germany gradually turned cold. It was now November.
White snow covered the entire outskirts of Berlin. The mask that Garon obtained from the cannibal tree didn't provide much potential points. It only provided about eighty points. It seemed that the cannibal tree was also absorbing this energy. Most of the potential points were used up and there wasn't much left.
Eighty-two points plus the original 94 points, the final result was 176 points. It was enough to add one point to Intelligence to reach 11 points.
After 10 points, the amount of potential points needed to increase attributes was terrifying. One point needed 100 points. If it was in the Totem World, it would be easy. However, it was extremely difficult to find here.
After using up all the potential points, Garon had no choice but to start looking for the whereabouts of a new mask. Fortunately, the Cannibal Tree mask was the fifth mask. After obtaining this mask, the combined force field of all the masks seemed to be able to suppress the dragon-shaped coin quite well. Nadia's attacks had decreased for a while, and her power had also been temporarily weakened. However, Nadia seemed to have used some special method and started to approach again. Her power increased once again. This forced Garon to continue looking for a new mask.
According to the information provided by Rhode, the sixth mask was in the Global Jungle Belt – Memphis Jungle.
The Memphis Jungle was an area that was unique to this world. It was like a green belt that surrounded the entire planet. It was long and endless. The location of the mask was said to be at the edge of a rare and hidden Moon River. The Moon River was a river that was shaped like a crescent moon. There were more than ten such rivers in the Memphis Jungle.
Just as he was about to leave for the Memphis Jungle, news about the Lotus Pearl finally came back.
After negotiating with the Primary Colors, they gave up on the Lotus Pearl. The Sea Serpent and the Seal worked together to hunt them down. In the end, they killed them at a port in New Zealand.

Creak … Creak …
In the outskirts of Berlin, on a small road, the thick layer of snow was stepped on by boots.
A man in a gray coat walked on the road that had not been cleaned yet.
On his right were towering gray villas. On his left were rows of dense snow pine forest. Black soil could be vaguely seen under the white snow. In front of him was a snowy road that led to an unknown place. Behind him was the intersection of the road and the small road. At the edge of the entrance, he could vaguely see a black jeep parked there.
The man carried a black leather bag in his hand. He walked forward for a while and went up the stairs of a villa to the left. He gently pressed the doorbell.
Ding ~ ~ ~
The doorbell kept ringing.
After a while, the door opened with a click. A middle-aged maid with a dull expression opened the door. She nodded at him and made a gesture to invite him in. She did not say anything.
The man seemed to know this maid.
"Thank you, Macquarie." He carried the bag and walked in. He took off the hood of his coat, revealing his bald head. He then took off his coat and passed it to the maid.
Holding the bulging black leather bag with one hand, the man changed his shoes and went up to the second floor.
Stepping on the black wooden planks, he walked directly to the door of a room on the right and gently knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A deep male voice came from inside.
The man opened the door and saw a handsome blonde man sitting inside. The blonde man slowly put down his phone and turned sideways to face him. From his angle, he could vaguely see the contents flashing on the phone screen.
It seemed to be chatting with his family.
The blonde man sitting on the seat still had a gentle smile on his face.
"I brought it." He quickly retracted his gaze and did not dare to look anymore.
"Okay, is it the Clown Sea Serpent?" The blonde man was Garon, who had been in Berlin for a while. He basically did not go to school now. He was fully focused on the mask. The explanation he gave to his family was that he had started a company outside and was busy with entrepreneurship. University was not very useful to him. Anyway, it was fine as long as he got his graduation certificate.
Garon had studied the curriculum of Gullivier University. He had already submitted the examination papers and investigation reports in advance. As long as he had enough credits, the school would not care what he did.
The bald man put the black bag in his hand on Garon's table.
He tore open the zipper and took out a black plastic bag. He put it on the table and opened the bag.
A faint musky smell suddenly filled the air.
Inside the plastic bag was a round human head.
"This is a lotus pearl. It represents Mr. Rhode's sincerity." The bald man said in a low voice.
