Evolve from a Tree

2There was nothing extra in the spacious chamber except for a square counter in front of him. Two rows of long candlesticks were placed on both sides of the counter. On the square counter, there was a small and exquisite stone sculpture.     4

    

The bone coins were exactly the same as the one in the black robed man's hand, but they were even older. There was a lingering smell of earth lingering around them.    

    

The statue was wearing a robe and had a tentacle protruding from the corner of its robe. Its face was blurry, as if it had been devoured by time, but the other parts of its body were extremely exquisite and lifelike.    

    

This statue was simple and delicate, giving people a very strange feeling of conflict. If a normal person looked at it for too long, they would see many illusions, lose their mind, and fall into madness.    

    

In the face of this serious disagreement, Nolly. After praying for a while, he then stood up and respectfully walked to the square counter.    

    

He drew a distorted pattern between his eyebrows with his finger, then closed his eyes. Not long after, he would nod his head from time to time, and the expression on his face constantly changed, as if he was listening to the command of the stone statue.    

    

If someone did not know about this, they would have been kind enough to call the hospital for Nolan.    

    

A moment later, Norre opened his eyes, and a flash of undetectable pain crossed his grimace.    

    

Nolan stood within the secret room. His face gradually returned to a calm state of indifference, concealing the unquenchable rage within.    

    

Finally, a beast-like roar came from his throat: "Cardhu …"    

    

The anger in his heart was insignificant in the face of the secret society's grand scheme. Even though Nolan desperately wished to tear his little brother's murderer to pieces, he still decided, under the control of reason, to first settle the matter with the Ansi royal family.    

    

This was related to the future development of their secret society as well as the glory of the old gods.    

    

However, he would not let the murderer go so easily. Other than taking revenge for his younger brother, he had more important things to take back.    

    

Nolan walked out of the secret chamber and called for his trusted aides to issue a large bounty in the dark world.    

    

All of a sudden, the entire world of darkness was filled with commotion. All the spirit practitioners and assassins who were active in this world of darkness were extremely tempted.    

    

A large number of uninvited guests was about to appear in response to the Qingxi Mountains.    

    

Su Mu had yet to know about this.    

    

"… …"    

    

Within the tunnel.    

    

There was a secret room near the stone room. The room had already collapsed, and rubble completely submerged everything inside. There was no sign of life, only an eternal silence.    

    

But just as the Ox-head Panther Guardian Spirit appeared, the deathly silence was broken by him.    

    

A pair of cruel and cold compound eyes slowly opened in the darkness. It turned a blind eye to the stones that were pressing down on it, and stared at the direction of the stone chamber.    

    

A strange buzzing sound could be heard from beneath the rubble. An invisible ripple flashed by and an astonishing scene appeared. The stones that were pressing down on its body all turned into dust.    

    

The master of the compound eyes shook his body and shook off the dust on his body, revealing his true appearance.    

    

This was a scarlet-gold beetle with ghost-like patterns on its back.    

    

The rune on the back of the scarlet-gold beetle was exactly the same as the one on the back of the Dung Beetle that Su Mu had killed earlier. Even its aura was identical.    

    

Or rather, the dung beetle was a replica of the Scarlet Gold Beetle.
