Chapter 99: Chapter 72 Tree Elf Awakening (Seeking
Recommendation Tickets)
“What’s happening?”
“How can this be happening to us?”
In the crowd, the Tree Elves’ Descendants were undergoing unprecedented
transformations.
“Ah!!”
Lu Anya lifted her hand, and from her fingers, her body started to transform into a transparent substance like emerald.
“What is this? My body.”
Frightened, Lu Anya kept shaking her arms, but it was useless. In the blink of an eye, her entire arm and even half of her body had turned into an emeraldlike substance, emanating a faint green glow.
“Sister!”
Her brother Anderson tried to help her, but suddenly, a crack appeared on hrs forehead.
A green sprout grew into a branch at a visible speed.
“What’s going on?”
Anderson tried to snap off the sprout, but it was futile; no matter how hard he pulled, the sprout kept growing and became stronger and stronger.
“Glala.”
“This, this is…”
Several older male and female Tree Elves fell to the ground, their feet turning
into tree roots that twisted like pythons.
Others had their arms transformed into tree branches, flailing so wildly they almost hit their companions nearby.
“Help me, somebody save me.”
The heaviness of their bodies and the horror of these transformations filled the
Tree Elves with dread.
Some children, upon seeing what was happening and discovering changes in their own bodies, began to cry desperately.
“Don’t be afraid, everyone! There’s no need to be scared!
In their midst, the only one who wasn’t panicking but rather filled with
immense joy was Grandfather Andrew, “Hahaha.”
“Awakening!”
“This is the Awakening!”
“The Tree Elf’s Miracle Power, it has awakened!’
Grandfather Andrew shouted excitedly, his eyes brimming with tears, “We are awakening! We are reverting to our original forms!”
The Tree Elves had been extinct for over ten thousand years, and among those present, if anyone knew what Tree Elves looked like, it certainly would be Grandfather Andrew.
This is Awakening?
They are becoming the Miracle Race, Tree Elves?
Because of Grandfather Andrew’s proclamation, the Tree Elves calmed down.
Perhaps due to their stabilized mental state, their transformations also began to halt.
“Very good! It seems everyone has gotten control over the force of life.
“Try to remain stable,” Grandfather Andrew instructed them, teaching them how to control the power, “You’re not controlling it, and it’s not controlling you—you are becoming one with it. You are it and it is you, inseparable from each other.”
Soon, under Grandfather Andrew’s guidance, everyone reverted to the appearance of Tree Elves.
But compared to their previous human forms, they now looked more like Elves.
Tree Elves were inherently beautiful, the young and old alike were handsome men, stunning women, and adorable boys and girls.
But now, Bailuo felt their attractiveness had risen a notch above their original basis.
No, that’s not the right way to put it.
Attractiveness has its limits, but there is something that can break through the confines of attractiveness—charm!
Yes, pure charm!
The current Tree Elves had green jade-like branches growing from their heads.
They served as ornaments, adorning the sides of the Tree Elves’ cheeks, foreheads, and the tops of their heads, resembling the ‘horns’ of animals.
However, these jade branches didn’t provoke disgust.
Instead, they appeared poetic and enchanting, framing the Tree Elves as if they were divine beings.
Not only that, but atop the branches on the Tree Elves’ heads, like hairpins, grew three flower buds, which competed to bloom.
Standing close to them, everyone could smell the fragrant aroma wafting through the air, feeling instantly refreshed and invigorated.
“You’re doing very well, just like that.”
Grandfather Andrew soothed everyone while instructing them on how to control the Miracle Power within their bodies.
The Tree Elves’ Descendants all had excellent aptitudes, and this was, after all, their instinct.
Previously, the power had come too suddenly, causing some to lose control, but now that they had calmed down, they were completely united with this force.
“Have we awakened?”
“We’ve really awakened!”
“Miracle Race, is this the true form of the Tree Elf?”
After the panic, came an extreme joy. The Tree Elves exchanged experiences with one another, and even the children were so happy that they hopped and cheered non-stop.
“Grandpa’s flower has bloomed, why are we still just buds?”
Some of the younger Tree Elves touched the branches on their heads. Although they also bore buds, they were very small and far from blooming.
“Hahaha.”
Grandfather Andrew laughed and stroked the children’s heads, “You are still young. When the time comes, you’ll be the same as Grandpa.
Indeed, only the mature Tree Elves had blossoms atop their heads.
At this moment, Grandfather Andrew’s head was crowned with branches of jade, from which many closed buds dangled.
His entire aura resembled that of an ancient Druid-full of wisdom, gentleness, yet also imbued with a sense of mystery.
Although it was Grandfather Andrew’s first time transforming into a Tree Elf,
he had heard about these things from his own grandfather.
“Snap snap.”
The elder lifted his hand and lightly tapped the buds and the branches.
After that, the jade branches and white petals began to wither, and in the astonished eyes of everyone around, the elder was the first to revert to his original appearance.
“Can we change back too?”
Bailuo was somewhat surprised. He had thought that once the Tree Elves awakened, they would stay that way forever.
He hadn’t expected that they could regress to an Elf form that was nearly human, except for the pointed ears.
“Just now was the Tree Spirit form mentioned in Tree Elf legends, and now this
is the Elf form, and then there is…”
After finishing his explanation to Bailuo, Grandfather Andrew once again stimulated the Miracle Power within his body.
“Glala.”
“Wow!”
The next moment, everyone stepped back.
Before their eyes, Grandfather Andrew’s arms began to turn to wood, and his feet into roots, as he transformed into the appearance of a Treefolk from Bailuo’s memory.
As Treefolk, Grandfather Andrew stood at least ten meters tall, hke an ancient tree requiring the embrace of four or five people.
Grandfather Andrew waved his arms and pulled up his roots from the ground. Though not as tall as the Fairy Treants summoned by Lilith, Bailuo felt that Grandfather Andrew’s strength was far superior to those Treefolk whose attacks were purely physical.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth!
“Treefolk.”
Bailuo had just finished marveling when Grandfather Andrew s body underwent another transformation.
“Boom!”
The body of the Treefolk shattered, and a faint blue figure that appeared almost like a spirit, flew out from it.
“This…”
Bailuo’s eyes widened. He was somewhat confused, “So many forms? Do Tree Elves have this many forms?”
The initial form of the Tree Elf was in the shape of an Elf, indistinguishable from humans but noticeably more handsome and beautiful.
With jade branches growing on their bodies and buds blooming atop their heads, this was the Tree Spirit form.
Turning their bodies to deadwood, their arms to branches, and their feet to roots, was the form of the Tree Elf as Treefolk.
Finally, they could shed their material ties and become energy beings, composed entirely of life force-this was called the Tree Spirit, and it was the most liberated form of the Tree Elf.
