Capítulo 1056: Chapter 129: Heavenly Element Flowing Shadow Sword The Mountain and River Sword emitted a strong vibration sound. The Tree Demon immediately concentrated a large number of branches toward it, trapping it momentarily. Seeing those puppets approaching, Pei Laoliu quickly withdrew the spell and fired invisible Sword Qi from his fingertips to take out the closest ones. Immediately after, the Little White Fox on the table beside them suddenly emitted a series of “ying ying ying” calls. With the sound, the puppets that were approaching suddenly halted, changed direction, and began attacking their “companions.” The battle style on the field changed in an instant, from monsters capturing people to a bizarre puppet melee. Everyone watched this scene in shock, unable to comprehend what was happening. Why did those creatures start attacking each other? Could it be the work of that little fox earlier? Master Liu nodded to himself. Although Little White’s true form has no combat power, it is very adept at control techniques. It seemed that the current situation played right into its hands. Next, a duel between puppet masters unfolded. More and more puppets fell under Little White’s control and turned against the Tree Demon. Starting from the inner circle, the puppets turned one by one towards the last gigantic willow. “Hey, I didn’t expect you, little one, to have such a trick up your sleeve.” Master Liu glanced at Little White on the table, focused on controlling the puppets, and silently marveled, deciding to reward the creature with a chicken drumstick once they got back. As time passed, more puppets switched sides until they were completely taken over, clearly, Little White was far superior in this regard. The aristocrats were overjoyed, inwardly thinking they were finally saved. As long as those monsters didn’t force them towards the big willow, they should be safe. Some couldn’t help but whisper to encourage themselves and those around them. What they didn’t know was that on Water Blue Star, such behavior was unified under a term: setting a flag. The next moment, the willow tree suddenly shook violently. On an imperceptible level, hundreds of strands of spiritual power threads were retracted from the puppets’ bodies. The beings that had been disobedient lost their drive in an instant, collapsing to the ground, indistinguishable from dead bodies. Faced with this, the little fox could only be helpless. After all, while it could seize control of these puppets, it couldn’t supply them with spiritual energy. Once the puppets lost their power, it could only watch helplessly. Ye Lin was startled, realizing something was amiss, and immediately wanted to escape. Fortunately, although the puppets had lost their effectiveness, no one was blocking his way anymore, allowing him to leave unimpeded. “Everyone, stay quiet! Don’t move!!” At this moment, Master Liu suddenly shouted something seemingly inexplicable. The crowd was stunned, not understanding the meaning of the old Immortal’s words. The Tree Demon was right in front of them, so why not move? How could they escape otherwise? Ye Lin also hesitated for a moment, uncertain and suspicious. He couldn’t grasp the meaning of the Sword Immortal’s words, yet a voice inside seemed to urge him to listen, to refrain from rash actions. This moment of indecision saved his life. Suddenly, the ground split open, and numerous roots shot out, sweeping towards those running for their lives. The unfortunate ones caught by the vines screamed in terror, being dragged straight into the ground and disappearing, likely fallen victim to the monster. The rest were shocked. Some young men who intended to flee suddenly stopped in their tracks, afraid to move a muscle. Some unlucky ones couldn’t stop themselves and tumbled forward with a “thud.” They were immediately detected by the Tree Demon, and several roots dragged them underground, following the fate of those before. “Don’t move! The Tree Demon’s eyes and ears are gone now; it can only detect targets through ground vibrations. If you stay still, it can’t find you!” Pei Laoliu explained loudly. Everything happened too fast, and Pei Laoliu barely had time to say anything before those people were taken. Actually, from the beginning, Master Liu had been observing. Official source ıs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝙣𝙚𝙩 The Tree Demon didn’t operate like ordinary beings with eyes and ears for sensing. The puppets were not only its means of attack but also a way to explore the environment. Whenever the Tree Demon attacked with branches, it first relied on the puppets to observe before taking action. Once it lost the puppets, as a plant, its basic sensing method became detecting ground vibrations. This was very similar to an alien species called Emperor Vine recorded in the Star Alliance archives.
