Upon hearing the Natal people mention the root of the poisonous tree, Chen Zhou couldn't help but ponder it.
The "root of the poisonous tree" it mentioned is probably the root of that ancient tree, which seems to be the poisonous tree.
“Roar... Roar... Roar…” The gray lion kept roaring at the leader of Natal, but neither side launched an attack.
The two sides are locked in a standoff.
The leader of Natal glared at the gray lion, and circles of yellow true energy slowly rose around his body.
"Did you really think I, Inatar, had no one to stand up for us last year?" the Inatar leader roared.
The power of Natal's words, like the roar of the gray lion, was immense.
However, these forces would not cause any real harm to the gray lion, but they could create enough of an imposing presence.
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle..."
Chen Zhou could clearly see thick vines sprouting from under the gray lion's feet. These vines were thicker than any he had seen before, some even as thick as the gray lion's legs.
The thick vines quickly wrapped around the gray lion's legs, but the gray lion not only didn't move, it looked quite comfortable!
The leader of Natal was unaware of this anomaly; he was completely focused on the movement of the vines and paid no attention to the gray lion's expression.
But after a while, the leader of Natal finally noticed something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw only the gray lion's ferocious mockery.
It was too late.
Therefore, the people of Inathal noticed something was amiss and all stood up to surround their leader. They no longer had time to pay attention to the three people they had just captured.
Slowly, tiny specks of crystalline venom appeared on the gray lion's entire body, turning it from gray!
The venom slowly flowed over the gray lion's body until it was completely covered in it, and even the vines on its legs were now covered in the venom!
Strangely, the venom on the gray lion only flowed on the gray lion's body and did not drip onto the ground. Then, the vines were corroded and devoured by the venom at a speed visible to the naked eye!
All the vines that came into contact with the venom eventually turned into yellow true energy and were instantly devoured by the venom. The gray lion let out a comfortable low roar, and its aura slowly began to rise.
"Damn it! This beast has devoured the previous Poison Tree Root! It knows how to activate the Poison Tree Root! Everyone, stop using your true energy and retreat immediately! Return to the tribe!" Chief Inataar shouted, alerting everyone.
Chen Zhou was completely confused. He couldn't quite understand what the leader of Natal was saying, but that didn't affect his understanding of the current situation.
The gray lion's aura was surging at this moment, and there was a faint feeling that it was about to break through. However, after everyone in Natal stopped using their true energy, its aura slowly dropped and returned to its previous stable state.
"roar!"
The gray lion roared. The surge of energy that had brought it great comfort was now suddenly dropping, making it extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, the people of Natal seemed to have sensed something and stopped using their true energy, which further enraged the gray lion.
Now, the Grey Lion is prepared to use his absolute power to force these people to use their true energy!
The gray lion slowly raised its front paws and walked towards the Inathal.
"Bang...."
"Bang....."
Each sound pierced the hearts of the Natal people, but they could neither escape nor use their true energy to attack!
If they escape, the so-called Poison Tree Root behind them will be taken away by the gray lion again. If they use their true energy, it will lead to the same situation as before, causing the gray lion's strength to increase and creating another opportunity for it to upgrade.
Both of these are extremely beneficial to the Grey Lion!
"Run! I'm here! Go and inform the people in the tribe immediately! Tell them to ask the old chieftain to come out of the mountains!" the Inata chief shouted to the Inata people present.
The Natal people reacted quickly. As soon as their leader gave the order, several people rushed out. However, they hadn't gone far when they were caught up by the gray lions that had started running!
The Natal leader was helpless against this, because he could not use his true energy to trap the gray lion.
"Everyone scatter and escape! Whoever escapes to the tribe alive will be the tribe's hero!" Chief Natal shouted excitedly.
At this moment, everyone was extremely excited and determined to make their own contribution to the tribe!
All the Natalites quickly began to run outwards in different directions, so that the Grey Lions could not kill them all at once.
The two who had just run away had been caught up by the gray lion. The gray lion slapped them one by one, sending them flying like balloons without a string.
The two men lost consciousness as soon as they fell to the ground. At that moment, the gray lion did not choose to let them go, but reappeared beside them, its black claws pressing down on the two corpses!
Seeing this scene further confirmed Chen Zhou's suspicions: the dismembered corpses he had seen earlier were the work of the gray lion!
The Grey Lion was delayed for a while due to his strange quirks. By this time, all the Inathal people on the field had fled, leaving only the Inathal leader.
Unable to find any other target, the grey lion turned its slowly reddening eyes toward the remaining leader of Inathal.
At this moment, Leader Inata was no longer going to stop using his true energy. Layers of yellow true energy rapidly surrounded his body, and Inata's eyes also turned completely yellow!
Rings of true energy reappeared around the gray lion, and the gray lion's expression changed instantly, with joy gradually appearing on its face!
At that moment, strange phenomena began to appear!
Those rings of true energy exploded instantly!
The gray lion made no attempt to defend itself, and it found itself right in the middle of the explosion of true energy.
The true energy exploded, and the gray lion couldn't defend against it at all. It was immediately hit by the explosion!
Chen Zhou watched all this quietly from behind a tree. Witnessing the battle between these two extraordinary humans and beasts, Chen Zhou's combat experience was skyrocketing!
"Bang bang bang..."
Explosions erupted one after another, and the gray lion suddenly rushed out of the blast radius, its entire body covered in red blood!
The Grey Lion was caught off guard and was seriously injured by the leader of Natal!
However, the serious injury did not seem to affect the gray lion's movements at all. The gray lion was still able to move freely, except that red blood was constantly dripping from its body.
"Hunter, have you absorbed the roots of the poisonous tree? You're immune to your injuries now. It seems the poison has seeped into your very bones!" Natal muttered as he watched the Grey Lion move freely despite his severe injuries.
