This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"I'm afraid it can't be saved, right?"

Ye Yiyi sighed slightly and looked at Wator who was unconscious with his eyes closed.

More and more vines began to grow on the bounty hunter's chest, and not only his heart, but his chest itself began to turn from flesh to wood.

I'm afraid it won't be long before Wator will completely turn into a piece of wood.

But until now, they don't even know the reason for this change.

Thinking of this, his eyes became more stern, and he raised his leg and kicked the tree man.

"Well……"

The tree man let out a faint wail, proving that it was still alive.

"You'd better pray that I can find a way to save him." Ye Yiyi said coldly, "Otherwise I will tear you apart and burn you into charcoal!"

After saying this, he quickened the pace of turning the pages of the Psalm Book.

Item Description: One of the hymns praising the Lord of the Secret Forest.

It can grant simulated divinity and transform non-tree life into sacred oaks.

It is said that if one wishes to receive the gift and become a descendant of the gods, one must first give up everything.

But false divinity will not give,

After all, it was just a lie told by the tree people priests.

"Simulating divinity? And turning people into holy oaks?"

After reading the item description of this hymn, Ye Yiyi's eyes fixed and he turned to look at the oak people around him who were turned into debris in the wind.

"In other words, all those oak people were transformed from humans?"

His back was soaked with cold sweat without him knowing when. He looked down at Wator, who was wrapped in vines and transformed from a flesh and blood creature into a tree, and his eyes were gradually filled with murderous intent.

"What a simulation of divinity! What a way to seize power!"

"Micaela!" Bai Yu raised his head and said solemnly, "Watol's heart is almost stopping!"

"use this!"

He took out a bottle of humanity potion, opened it, and poured all the liquid into the empty space on Wattol's chest.

"Although it's supposed to simulate divinity, I'm not sure if the human potion will work, but at this point, we can only try our best!"

"Humanity...Potion!!"

Upon hearing this, the treeman knight, whose limbs were all broken and whose body was charred, suddenly widened his only remaining eye and let out a faint and horrified cry.

"Are you the God Hunter!?"

But the tree man's call received no response. Ye Yiyi and Bai Yu were both observing Wator's condition carefully, and no one paid any attention to him.

"How's it going? Is it effective?"

"Got it! The heart that turned into wood is gradually turning back to normal!"

"Okay! Then use a few more bottles!"

Ye Yiyi nodded, took out the human potion again and fed it to Wator.

Until the wooden tentacles were retracted from the outside of the body and the heart that had turned into wood was completely turned back into flesh and blood, Ye Yiyi gave Wator a mushroom he had grown himself, a bottle of life essence and a resuscitation potion to ensure that he would not die suddenly.

Finally, use [Healing] and [Full Vitality] on him to heal the wound on his chest.

Finally, under the nervous gaze of the two, Wator slowly opened his eyes and let out his human cry.

“Ouch…it hurts!”

"It's done!"

Ye Yiyi jumped three feet high with joy, and took out a big axe to chop at the tree man with green buds growing on his body!

"You bastard! You bastard! I told you you were capable! I told you to show off! Are you still pretending?! I told you to fly!"

"what?"

Wator was helped up by Bai Yu and sat against a wooden stake. He watched Ye Yiyi cruelly inflicting violence on a piece of charred charcoal and shuddered inexplicably.

"Am I already dead? Otherwise, why would I see Mistress Michaela hammering wood?"

"You were about to die."

Ye Yiyi temporarily let go of the half-dead treeman knight, leaned on the spark hammer with both hands, and rolled his eyes at Wator.

"But I've done two monkey tricks and made you live again."

"Monkey...monkey show?" Could it be a monkey show in the circus? Wattol was shocked.

"You can simply understand it as stacking buffs... Never mind, you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

He put the axe back into his hip and picked up the treeman knight, who was only left with his body and head.

"You bastard, you're hiding the corpse of a god, right? The fucking Hunting God Church is only two blocks away from the temple. You're trying to hide something from the public, right?

"Just wait, I'll show you what it means to be overwhelmed by the massive military pressure from the Church of the Hunting God!"

"..."

The Treeman Knight's wooden eyelids drooped, his heart dead.

As a descendant of gods, his innate strong vitality became a burden at this moment.

Death is not scary, life is scary.

Once it falls into the hands of those lunatics who regard gods as prey, the secrets of the sect and the tribe will be completely exposed.

"Humph!"

Ye Yiyi snorted coldly and reached out to pull the somewhat dazed Wator up from the ground.

"Okay, now it's your turn to speak clearly!"

His face was serious. "Why didn't you wait for us? Why did you have to go and die alone?"

"..."

After hearing this, Wattol lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he let out a long breath.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Michaela, there's actually something I haven't told you.

"In fact, during my first dive, in that hall, I abandoned my son and fled alone..."

Chapter 246 The Disappearing Earth Vein Incarnation

After hearing Wattol's explanation, Ye Yiyi was stunned for a moment.

"Your son?"

"Yes, my son." Wattol nodded sadly, his tone sorrowful. "His name is Sokolo. He had just turned 20 when I left him."

"You abandoned your son..."

Bai Yu's tone was full of disbelief. She was wearing a helmet and her expression could not be seen clearly, but Ye Yiyi seemed to be able to see the astonishment on Bai Yu's face.

"Yes! I'm a beast. I abandoned my son!"

Confronted with the ugliest aspects of his own humanity and experience, Wattour collapsed to his knees, his head in his hands.

"I shouldn't... I really shouldn't have, I shouldn't have agreed to him!

"I knew it was dangerous underground, especially since the city hall mentioned the risk of death in their commission, but I was too confident! I shouldn't have accepted that commission, and I shouldn't have done anything 'manly' on his coming-of-age ceremony!

"Sokro, I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Wattol fell to his knees, buried his head in the grass, and sobbed in self-blame and pain.

"..."

Ye Yiyi and Bai Yu, who had taken off his helmet and had a complicated expression, looked at each other.

"But it's been a long time since your first dive, right?"

Ye Yiyi said calmly, "Even if you could go back there again, what would it matter? You should have known long ago that the moment you left him, he was as good as dead, right?"

"Woooo..."

But Wattol was so busy crying that he couldn't utter a word.

"Stop crying, damn it! It's so noisy!"

Ye Yiyi's face was gloomy. He switched to the Mage and kicked Wator on the shoulder, knocking the crying man to the ground.

"You bastard! I put so much effort into killing the centipede, and then the tree man. I put in so much effort, wasn't it just to save you?!"

He placed his hands on Wator's collar, lifted the bounty hunter off the ground, and then roared at him at the top of his lungs.

"And I ended up saving a fucking wimp who only knew how to cry?!"

He raised his fist and punched Wattol hard on the side of the face.

The man fell to the ground, coughed violently twice, and spat out half a broken tooth.

Bai Yu watched the scene silently, with no intention of intervening at all.

Ye Yiyi grabbed Wator's collar, lifted him up again, glared at him and roared loudly:

"Tell me! During those dives after your first one, did you also want to find your son, but ended up killing your teammates?!"

Wator held Ye Yiyi's hand with difficulty and spoke with a flushed face.

"Ahem! No...no!"

Ye Yiyi frowned, sensed it for a moment, then loosened his collar and let the man fall to the ground.

"Fortunately it's not!" he said coldly.

"If so, I will kill you myself!"

"Ahem... ahem! My life... was given to me by you, Master Michaela. Ahem! Even if you want to kill me, I have no complaints..."

Wattol covered his throat and coughed repeatedly, and finally raised his head, a sad smile appearing on his tear-stained and swollen face.

"I know I'm not a good father, but I would never betray my teammates. So during the subsequent dives, I never thought of putting them in danger for my own selfish reasons..."

"So, in those subsequent times, you were wiped out due to other reasons?" Bai Yu suddenly spoke.

"Because we went too deep, and because we suddenly encountered a powerful enemy, I've already said this before, and I won't lie..."

"What about this time?"

Ye Yiyi asked coldly, "But this time, you left us behind and left first."

"That's because the place you two adults are going to is exactly the place I've always dreamed of."

Wattol smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I really can't wait. During the time you were away, I suffered more than in the past two years!

"Even if it's just once, even if I die there, I want to visit Sorok's grave. I want to see him again...

"As an incompetent father, that is my only wish in this life..."

"Grave?" Ye Yiyi's expression finally changed. "What do you mean?"

"When we first entered the ruins, we were attacked by a giant bird zombie. Sorok blocked a claw for me, but when I hurriedly fled with him, he was already dead..."

"But didn't you say you abandoned him?"

"Yes, I abandoned him, my only son, and left his body in this hell full of monsters..."

Wattol laughed bitterly and said:

"Master Michaela, if my child is still alive, I will give everything I have so that he can walk out of here alive!

"But the tragedy of the weak is that fate never gives you a choice."

“…” Ye Yiyi was silent.
