Chapter 26: Devout and Gift

“Boom!”

Even though its body was impaled and black blood kept gushing out, the terrifying ten metre long alligator continued howling ferociously.

Ignoring the wound, it used its sharp claws from its hind legs to continue ‘kicking’ at the huge and dark tree root.

However, in the next moment, countless tiny black threads suddenly split from the dark tree root.

These black threads were the thin roots that covered the tree root.

These tiny roots quickly tied up the three storey tall crocodile like a rice dumpling.

At the same time, countless roots entered the crocodile’s body through the previous wound.

After the tiny roots entered the crocodile’s body, they effortlessly crushed the crocodile’s internal organs and brain – like a winch.

Soon, the terrifying crocodile lost its breath.

On the ground, the other two tree roots continued to whip harshly at the other eight crocodiles which were about five meters long.

Every time these two tree roots lashed out, a deep dent would appear on the ground. Dust and blood flesh flew everywhere, and this one-sided battle instantly came to an end.

Boom!

When the roots pulled out from the ten meter long crocodile which had its internal organs mashed, it dropped from the sky, making a loud noise.

Meanwhile, the three terrifying tree roots quickly disappeared into the ground after the battle ended without causing any more tremors.

Everyone stared at the gigantic crocodile corpse with their mouths agape. They were speechless.

“Crisis? Is this considered a crisis?”

Simon snapped out of his trance, and let out such a sigh.

“This… Even without our help, this place would be safe, right?”

“Heh… I finally understand. This is no longer the world we knew. Anyway, I’ve already exhausted all my exclamations and gasps of shock. At this point, even if anything happened right now, I probably won’t find it strange anymore.”

“Let’s just do what we need to do!”

The members of West York started speculating and most of them had already returned back to normal.

“The Tree of Mystery. This is what a real Tree of Mystery looks like.” Vanni Campbell sighed in amazement. At the same time, she felt a surge of excitement.

“The appearance of the Purple Moon may be a sign to the end of the world, but the revival of the Tree of Mystery is a symbol of hope.”

“Oh Great Tree of Mystery, believer Bard Vanni pays her utmost respects to you. May your recovery bring harmony and life to nature once again. Please also guide your lost believers.”

Bard was the name for intermediate poets of the Druid Church Group.

In modern society, there were very few people in the declining Druid Church Group who could obtain the title of Bard.

In Armarica, apart from the top three Archdruids in the Druid Church Group, the eleven Bards were next in terms of hierarchy.

Bards were to symbolize harmony and truth. At the same time, they were also guides for new believers. They had to memorize 20,000 lines of teachings and also learn different classical arts.

For example, arts like reciting poems or singing with a zither. In short, Bards were people of nature and beauty in the Druid Church Group.

After praising the oak tree, Vanni Campbell closed her eyes and started to recite the core teachings of the Druids.

“If you want to become a Druid”

“Please appreciate the Druid teachings”

“Our hearts are connected to nature”

“When you feel danger, don’t panic”

“Like a wild bear, gaining strength from faith”

“When you experience setbacks, don’t be discouraged”

“Like a sea lion, persevere through adversity”

“When you feel lost, don’t be confused”

“Like a cheetah, spot for opportunities from the situation”

“When you feel trapped, don’t be sad”

“Like a raven, gain freedom through your heart”

“If you want to become a Druid”

“Please appreciate the Druid teachings”

“…”

Although Vanni Campbell who was in her fifties no longer had a beautiful voice, it was still calm and elegant.

At this moment, she, who was reciting the teachings, caught the attention of many.

As she sincerely chanted, everyone in West York unconsciously placed their right hand on their chest as if expressing their gratitude towards the oak tree.

The oak tree was definitely not a product of the Purple Moon’s contamination. Everything which was revealed today had already proven that to everyone.

At the same time, the arrival of the divine revelation and the help the oak tree had given to its believers were also witnessed by everyone.

Therefore, at this moment, whether they were believers of it or not, there was no harm in them showing their respect.

Perhaps influenced by these people, the tribesmen no longer kowtowed like they did before. Instead, they held the same hand gesture as Vanni Campbell and the rest.

At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely pious and sacred.

At this moment, Adam was still immersed in his battle memories.

“My body is actually so powerful?”

“A divine revelation did seem like making a mountain out of a molehill.”

Adam sighed.

“It seems that my mentality is still not stable enough. I was actually intimidated by the Purple Moon phenomenon and misjudged.”

“Now that I think about it, it makes sense. Although the Purple Moon phenomenon is powerful, it’s still spread out. The mutated creatures produced by such pollution are definitely not as strong as the me who father personally guided.”

Adam thought back carefully and came to this conclusion.

“In the future, perhaps I should first carefully analyze my strength. It’s best if I don’t make a fool of myself like just now.”

With this knowledge, Adam slowly returned his thoughts to reality.

At this moment, he naturally saw the pious scene under the tree.

“These humans are quite polite. Since that’s the case, I can’t be petty either.”

Considering that these people would eventually affect the attitudes of other humans in the civilized world after their return, Adam certainly did not mind making things more perfect.

Therefore, just as everyone bowed their heads in devotion, three huge oak leaves fell from the oak tree.

At the same time, the six mistletoe trees that were overgrown on the oak branches fell.

The leaves swayed as they floated down, while the mistletoe fell straight down because of its weight.

When the mistletoe fell to the ground, the loud sound woke everyone up.

These people looked at the six green mistletoe trees on the ground, then at the oak tree, and then at the three oak leaves floating down.

Green fluorescent lights cloaked the transparent oak leaves which veins showed, making them look very eye-catching.

Everyone immediately understood that they were gifts from the oak tree.

In their delight, Vanni Campbell and the others showed their gratitude once again.

The entire scene did not contain any deception from humans. The harmonious and natural atmosphere touched even the weather.

From the east side of the rainforest, the red sun slowly appeared.
