48 Soldier Tree - Chameleon

Returning to the previous day, after the group of Li Qing separated with the Amulet Lifeguard. Two were killed by the whirlwinds that were absorbing the vital energies of the forest. As for the others, two were near the middle zone, while the other was near the edge.

Realizing that their current situation, the three begin to look for their own resting places. After a few hours the phenomenon of energy absorption began, those near the middle zone felt the changes in the environment, but the injuries were not fully healed, after much hesitation, the two that were near the middle zone began to run to the edge, but in the middle of the way, they found several wild beasts that were fleeing the whirlwinds.

The two fought a fierce battle, but were victorious in the end due to the fact that swirls were focused on absorbing energy, wild animals lacked healing skills unlike participants who had various types of items.

After finding a safe place to rest, the three got to establish contact through the communication device. Realizing that two of them had disappeared, the three assumed that they had been killed. The group of three agreed to meet somewhere in the forest.

Later, the system sound comes up and the daily challenge appears, all three had different thoughts about it. Moving toward the meeting, two of them were closer, while the last was far away.

...

At the time of the meeting, the two members who were close were Li Qing and Gu Meng. When the two of them saw each other, they realized that none of them were fully recovered, there were some wounds that had been bandaged.

After a brief conversation, the two began to walk toward the edge to find the third member. The pair realized that the animals had disappeared from the forest, and that made them lower their guard.

Taking a break for a brief rest, Li Qing sat under a tree with his legs crossed with his eyes closed while Gu Meng was walking around. Moments later, Gu Meng comes back with two identical swords in his hands. Li Qing recognized these two swords, were the swords of Mo Zun, looking at these two swords, Li Qing thought of various possibilities.

Mo Zun threw the swords to Li Qing, because the two were close friends, by the time the blades were about to get close to Li Qing's hand, something unexpected happened, the two blades explode. But Li Qing was not hurt, it was as if he was prepared for it.

"How did you know?" Gu Meng's voice was no longer a human talking, it was like a talking doll.

"Along the way I realized that I was acting in a strange way, you were agitated with something, this is not Gu Meng's style. Who are you?"

"You do not have to know, the only thing you need to know is that you're going to die"

The moment "Gu Meng" finished speaking, he charged toward Li Qing like an arrow while holding a dagger in his hands.

Clang ... Clang ...

Sound of metal clashing with metal is heard, a fierce battle has begun. A few moments later, a few feet away two shadows appear, was Liu Yang and Mo Qian.

...

Liu Yang and Mo Qian were hiding, discussing what they should do.

"Honey, what should we do?"

"Little Qian, I think we ..."

Before Liu Yang finished the sentence, "Gu Meng" shouts.

"You who are hidden, can appears!!"

As the pair had been discovered, they were forced to reveal themselves. When Li Qing saw who he was, he was surprised, he did not think he would find these two people. The expression of "Gu Meng" remained the same, as if he already knew beforehand that they were hidden.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Li Qing, he thought that Liu Yang and Mo Qian were hoping that the two of them would be hurt and take that chance to defeat the remaining one.

Liu Yang looks towards Li Qing and responds.

"Big muscular man, I think you have more muscle than brains. You may have guessed that I have already passed this small challenge. I have no reason to fight you, but this friend of his is another story "

Ignoring Li Qing, Liu Yang turns around and asks "Gu Meng".

"You should be Gu Meng, right? Or is it an impostor who is disguised as him? "

Hearing the words of Liu Yang, the supposed Gu Meng was in shock, he did not know how his disguise had been discovered. But those who were more stunned was Mo Qian and Li Qing, because she could not find the difference between the old Gu Meng and the current. As for Li Qing, he already had suspicions, but could not prove his theory.

"Hahaha ... Interesting, how did you find out I an impostor? Tell me this and I can give you a quick death. "

"Before I answer his question, could you tell me how you disguised yourself?"

To avoid problems in the future, Liu Yang wanted to know how these "things" are in disguise.

"As you all will soon die, it is okay to tell you. This friend of yours is dead moments after he arrived, after killing him I got hold of his body "

Liu Yang was not shocked at such a revelation, since Li Qing's group were not his companions, he got to understand some things from the words of "Gu Meng", Mo Qian looked scared, but did not affect much, she understood that the world was the Law of the Jungle, the stronger live and the weaker die. The person who was most frightened by this information was Li Qing, because "Gu Meng" was in the same group as him, but Li Qing could not detect any difference until moments ago.

"Now answer my question, how did you find out?"

Mo Qian, Li Qing and "Gu Meng" were eager for Liu Yang's response, because he was the only one who managed to reveal that "Gu Meng" was an impostor.

"His smell, you stink the dead plant." Liu Yang replied with a sarcastic tone.

"Hahaha ... No matter, you will die even, my master will evolve, all those who have arrested it in this place will be killed, even if it is the descendants"

"Would it master be the one who is absorbing all that energy to evolve?"

These words shocked Mo Qian and Li Qing. They tried to imagine what kind of creature would need so much energy to evolve, but could not think of any, could it be a creature of ancient times that has already been extinguished? That thought passed through their minds.

"So you are already aware of this fact, but it will not change anything, my master is already almost evolving, when that time comes, it will have its revenge"

"Why do not you reveal your true form before you die? That would make things easier for me "

Liu Yang knew the true name of the creature who was disguised as Gu Meng, but did not know his real form, he wanted to see how such a creature looked.

The image of "Gu Meng" began to distort and a strange being began to appear, the whole body was of wood with several branches sticking out of the body, expressionless face, hands and feet with razor-sharp fingers, it was a Soldier Tree.

"Soldier Tree !! Are they again !!? "

"Do you know this thing?"

Hearing the cry of Li Qing, Liu Yang and Mo Qian look toward him with doubt.

"Yes, my group fought them before they were born from a tree called the" Leech Tree", this tree has the power to possess the body of the dead, when it is about to die, it uses a strange skill that uses its own energy vital to make the fruits ripen and explode, causing these soldiers to be born of the fruit "

Hearing the words of Li Qing, Liu Yang became curious about this tree, but the words of Xillia Wolf were a bucket of cold water.

"What!!??? Leech Tree ??? Does this thing still exist ?? How is it possible???"

"Xillia, do you know what this tree is?"

"This tree is a very old existence, it should be extinct. This thing is very dangerous, this tree is a being that exists only to suck the energy of life to be born, to grow, to mature, to die, and to be born again, that was the life cycle of that tree. Because of this nature, this tree was destroyed, but there was something in it that attracted people, it was its fruits, part of the energy of life that was absorbed, would go to the fruits, some powerful clan took some of these trees and created them to be able to harvest these fruits. But this tree should not have the power to evolve, "who must not be named" must have done something "
