"Look at them. Don't you think they're doing well?" Tree Spirit's voice came from behind.
Angor nodded. "Yeah, they look much better than Greya."
When Greya was sealed by Iron Granny, her eyes were still bloodshot, and she wanted to attack everything around her. However, the patient in the cocoon looked very quiet, as if he was in a deep sleep.
Tree Spirit smiled bitterly. "They look stable, but that's only because they're trying to suppress their madness."
"Can't suppress their madness? What do you mean? "Angor was confused.
Tree Spirit didn't give him an answer right away. "Take a step forward and you'll see."
Angor hesitated for a moment before taking a step forward.
His steps were slow at first. But after two steps, he suddenly stopped and showed a surprised look. Then he hurried forward and reached the edge of the pool of life in two seconds.
Angor was even more surprised when he reached the edge.
Previously, when he was still in the periphery, he only felt a dense aura of life, which was comparable to the Tidal Realm's Territory of Wood. However, he didn't feel anything else. However, under the guidance of Tree Spirit, he took a few steps forward and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
The life aura here was so strong that it was changing in nature.
Even breathing here could directly affect the essence of a living being.
Angor stood beside the pool of life. With every breath he took, he could clearly feel the positive changes happening inside his body.
It was a wonderful feeling. He felt like a drunkard who suddenly woke up from his drunken stupor. He also felt like he was suddenly enlightened, and his mind became clear.
Every old organ in his body seemed to have been thoroughly cleansed and moisturized, glowing with new vitality.
From his body to his soul, from his mind to his spirit, everything was exuding a comfortable feeling.
Angor could clearly feel every change inside his body. There were no side effects. It was pure purification and … evolution.
So this was the core of the Tree of Eternity, the truth behind the Pool of Life?
No wonder Leona was so fond of this place.
If Angor was in her shoes, he wouldn't want to stay in such a place for a long time. The feeling of having one's blood and mind refreshed was invaluable.
"Do you understand now?" Tree Spirit slowly walked over and stopped at the edge of the Pool of Life. He casually fiddled with the pool water, and when the ripples spread out, an even stronger aura of life soared into the sky. The people hanging in the cocoons above all let out rough breathing sounds.
Even Angor himself felt so comfortable that he wanted to moan. No wonder the patients were moaning.
Tree Spirit said, "Even though they are suffering from insanity, they still yearn for this kind of aura that can absolutely enhance life forms. This yearning is what I call instinct. Their yearning instincts suppressed their madness. That's why they look better than Greya. "
"But in reality, they are exhausting my foundation." Tree Spirit smiled bitterly.
Tree Spirit was not wrong in saying that. The Pool of Life was the essence that he had accumulated for tens of thousands of years. Even if it was just a little bit of its aura that was absorbed by others, it would consume his foundation.
"That's why I said that I would issue a rescue mission and that the reward would be provided by them." Tree Spirit said, "The life force they've consumed in the past few days, even under the influence of madness, is still increasing their life force."
Angor nodded in understanding.
Perhaps the madness caused by the distorted consciousness would weaken their spirit temporarily, but there was always a way to recover. However, it was rare for someone to strengthen their life force. Earlier, Angor thought that Brute Cavern was being unkind by letting them come for the reward. But now, it seemed that Brute Cavern was treating them well.
"Originally, I wanted to put them in the Puppet Hospital in Windmill Town, but this time, they are even more terrifying than the last outbreak. Once these crazy people leave the range of the Pool of Life, even if they are restrained, they will continue to mumble to their surroundings. These mumbles may not be effective against official wizards, but they are very effective against apprentices and ordinary people. If one of them spreads it out, the entire Windmill Town will fall in a matter of minutes. "
Angor's face turned pale. He thought that the madness was only slightly weaker than the parasitic light spots or the lifeline, but not by much. But according to Tree Spirit, the scale and pattern of this disease were much more terrifying than any other disease he had ever seen.
If the source of the disease was not controlled in time, it would not take long for it to spread to an entire country.
Angor was glad that he was smart enough to ask Spotted Puppy to give him the green rune model before sending it away. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.
"We can't put them in the Puppet Asylum, so we have no choice but to put them here. At the very least, they won't talk in their sleep here. It's just that I have to suffer. " Tree Spirit was pounding his chest. He usually kept a tight watch on the Pool of Life. Even Mister Rein only came here a few times. This time, he really had to pay a huge price.
There were dozens of them.
Tree Spirit felt uncomfortable just by watching them breathe in and out every day. That was why he went to the dream wilderness and made all kinds of pictures with the people of the Tree Group Development Team to talk about his sorrows.
That was why Tree Spirit came out to greet Angor in such a hurry.
Angor's arrival meant that these filthy bastards could finally get out of here. How could he not be excited?
Tree Spirit carefully asked in case he misunderstood Angor's intention. "You came here because you found a way to save them, right?"
Angor really wanted to give a "no" answer. However, looking at Tree Spirit's cautious expression, as if he was afraid of being hurt again, he couldn't bear it and nodded honestly. "I can use it now, but …"
"But what?" Tree Spirit was quite happy when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence gave him a fright. He asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"
"I just don't know why it works like this."
Tree Spirit already saw the green spot released by the Dalmatian. Angor considered for a moment and explained the green patterns in a vague way, as well as his doubts about the research.
Tree Spirit sighed in relief when he confirmed that the green runes could be used.
As for Angor's question, Tree Spirit didn't mind at all. "I don't know how to answer your question. However, I can give you an example. I have some abilities myself. At first, I couldn't figure out where they came from. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find an answer. But later on, after using them more, those doubts inexplicably became clear. What I didn't understand in the past slowly became clear in the process of using them. "
"But that's just my personal experience. I don't know if it's suitable for you. Why don't you try using your special abilities more often? Maybe you'll be enlightened one day."
He knew what Tree Spirit meant, which was "true knowledge comes from practice". But would the green runes really work when he didn't even understand the basic logic behind them? He didn't know, but he could try it out.
"Also, didn't you learn Polymorph after transplanting the skin of a Soft Metamorphosis Worm?" Tree Spirit asked, "You can use Polymorph now, but do you know how it works?"
"I don't know, but I can learn."
"Will you learn it now?" Tree Spirit raised an eyebrow.
Angor didn't answer. He wouldn't learn Polymorph for now because it was too complicated. It would take him years or even decades to learn.
"I won't learn it now, but I'll learn it in the future." Angor was sure about this.
"Good. You can figure out what you don't understand now when you're strong enough." Tree Spirit blinked. "That's more or less the same, right?"
"That's why I'm glad you can use it. I'll study it when I'm strong enough. "
Tree Spirit's words sounded reasonable, but Angor didn't see it coming at all. He didn't know how Polymorph worked, but there were people who knew about it. He could learn it as long as he had time. But where could he learn the green runes from scratch? The Nightmare Realm?
He didn't want to tell Tree Spirit everything about the Green Pattern System, so he sighed and dropped the topic.
Tree Spirit was glad that Angor stopped talking. He wanted Angor to heal these people as soon as possible.
Under Tree Spirit's urging gaze, Angor finally turned his attention to the cocoon above his head.
From Tree Spirit's explanation, Angor learned that the vine cocoon was a cage created by Tree Spirit to prevent people from entering the Pool of Life. The cocoons were sturdy enough that Angor couldn't break them. However, they weren't completely sealed. There were gaps between the vines, so Angor could still use his green runes.
After making sure everything was safe, Angor spoke to Tree Spirit, "I'll start then."
Tree Spirit nodded quickly and looked at Angor expectantly.
First, he looked at the six cocoons closest to the pool of life. They were all wizards who had lost their minds. As for the other cocoons of vines, they were Sorcerer-Apprentices.
Angor looked at the cocoon closest to him. His body glowed green, and the green runes on his right eye, right hand, and right forearm all emerged.
He reached out a finger. The dancing green runes gathered on his fingertip and formed a faint light spot in an elegant manner.
The light spot contained the combination structure Angor had been studying for the past few days.
With a flick of his finger, the light spot turned into a green beam of light and flew into the first cocoon.
Several seconds later, Angor nodded to Tree Spirit.
Tree Spirit quickly retrieved the first cocoon. As soon as the cocoon disappeared, the person inside fell to the ground.
He had a pale face, a pitch-black wizard robe, and a bone staff. Angor recognized him. It was Lococo's teacher, "Netherwhisper" Duncan.
After escaping from the wooden vines, Duncan's eyes were still red at first, but soon, the redness faded and he regained his clarity.
He looked at Tree Spirit and Angor and wanted to say something. But before he could speak, he fainted on the ground.
Tree Spirit helped him up and placed a hand on Duncan's forehead.
A moment later, Tree Spirit smiled at Angor. "He's fine now. His insanity is gone. But his spirit sea is a bit weak … Serves him right."
Tree Spirit was happy at first, but he soon realized that Duncan had absorbed a lot of life energy in the past few days. With a grim expression, he tossed Duncan out of the area covered by the life energy.
Fortunately, Duncan was a wizard. If he were a normal person, he would have lost an arm or a leg.
"Go on, go on," Tree Spirit urged. If Duncan could be saved, the others could be saved as well.
Angor did not hesitate. The second, the third, and the fourth …
Very quickly, the last official Magus was rescued.
Just like Duncan, they all regained consciousness for a few seconds before fainting again due to the damage done to their spirit seas. They looked like they were dead, but as long as they were willing to use their energy, the damage to their spirit seas could be healed eventually.
Once the damage was healed, the essence of their life would change. Not only did Tree Spirit not lose anything, but he also gained a lot.
With that in mind, Tree Spirit glared at the unconscious wizards with a vicious look.
Now that the wizards were saved, it was time to save the apprentices.
Before Angor could save the apprentices, a pure white pigeon suddenly flew into the Tree of Eternity from the outside world.
Tree Spirit waved a hand and caught the pigeon.
He looked at the note on the white pigeon and frowned slightly.
"Go save them, Angor. I'll be back in a few minutes." With that, Tree Spirit disappeared with the pigeon in his hand. Two seconds later, Tree Spirit reappeared and spoke to Angor, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. Throw those people outside the circle. You can take advantage of them when they're sick, but don't let them get away when they're cured."
With that, Tree Spirit disappeared again.
He stood there and thought for a moment. The white pigeon was not a stranger to him. It was an illusion from the Path of Mana Absorption, which was also the symbol of a magic node in the mirror world. Having a pigeon meant entering the core area of Brute Cavern and building one's own territory. Angor also had one, which he left on Phantom Island for now.
White pigeons could also be used to send messages. Tree Spirit must have received some kind of message and left.
Looking at Tree Spirit's frown, did something happen in the outside world?
Angor did not think too much about it. Even if something did happen, it should not be a big deal. Otherwise, Tree Spirit would not have the time to tell Angor to throw the people outside the circle.
With that in mind, Angor ignored the outside world and continued saving the crazy patients hanging in the air.
