Chapter 871: map of sacred traces

"Cough, cough——!"

Before Eliza could recover from the shock of the four Level 60 powerhouses being instantly killed, her whole body trembled violently, and she opened her mouth to spit out a large mouthful of black blood.

After spitting out this blood, her already pale complexion instantly turned ashen.

In Zhou Huai's line of sight, the health bar representing health points above Eliza's head was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, already less than one-fifth, and flashing with a dazzling red light.

Obviously, the astonishing power she erupted by desperately hugging Zhou Huai's thigh just now was merely a flash in the pan.

Now she was basically not far from death.

Eliza collapsed limply onto the asphalt road, her eyes gradually dimming.

She knew that her internal organs had already been shattered by One-Eyed Dragon's battle qi, and being able to last until now was already a miracle.

She raised her head with difficulty, her eyes covered with a layer of grayish death.

"Thank you… Thank you…"

Eliza's voice was as thin as a gossamer thread, intermittent, "Although I don't know who you are… but thank you for killing him and avenging me…"

"It's just a pity… In my current state, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay your kindness…"

She gasped, every word she spoke accompanied by a surge of blood foam.

"I… I come from the Yalige Family of the Free Federation…"

"If you can… can bring my corpse back to the Family territory…"

"My Family… will definitely give you incomparably generous rewards…"

"I beg you…"

However, Zhou Huai didn't listen to her giving her last words here at all.

He was slightly frowning, feeling the vast vitality belonging to the SSS-level World Tree Clone "Rahil" inside his body.

Zhou Huai's thought moved.

The next second, an emerald green fruit appeared out of thin air in his hand.

As soon as the fruit appeared, the withered yellow weeds on the surrounding wasteland instantly regained their vitality, quickly becoming emerald green and upright.

This fruit was only the size of an infant's fist, with a crystal-clear skin, and golden liquid flowing inside could be vaguely seen.

A rich aura of the Law of life transformed into a green halo rippling outward.

Eliza was still weakly explaining her posthumous matters there: "In my Family's treasury… there is…"

"What the hell are you babbling on about there?"

Zhou Huai unceremoniously interrupted her words.

He looked down condescendingly at the dying bird-person girl, without a shred of pity in his eyes.

"Eat this."

Having said that, without giving Eliza a chance to react at all, Zhou Huai directly squatted down, grabbed her chin to force her to open her mouth, and rudely stuffed the fruit in.

"Mmph! Wuwu——!"

Eliza was startled by this action, and a whimper came from her throat.

She instinctively wanted to struggle and spit it out.

As a result, the next second, the fruit melted as soon as it entered her mouth.

A warm current carrying overbearing vitality instantly surged into her body, washing towards her limbs and bones.

The injuries on Eliza's body began to recover rapidly.

Her shattered internal organs quickly healed, and her broken bones automatically reorganized with crisp cracking sounds.

Granulation grew from the wounds on her body surface that were deep enough to see bone, and within just a few breaths, they scabbed over and fell off, revealing smooth skin.

In Zhou Huai's line of sight, the health bar flashing with red light above Eliza's head instantly refilled.

Not only were her injuries completely healed, but even her previously depleted mana values were completely restored to their Peak within these few seconds.

Eliza was completely dumbfounded.

She sat dazedly on the ground, feeling the abundant power in her body, and subconsciously touched her chest.

There used to be a fatal penetrating wound, but at this moment it was as smooth as before, without leaving even a trace of a scar.

"This… How is this possible?"

Eliza suddenly raised her head, looking at the blond-haired and blue-eyed young man in front of her.

"What… what did you give me to eat?"

Her voice was trembling, "I have lived so long, even the Holy See's highest-level Holy Light healing spell could never achieve this kind of bringing someone back from the dead. I have never seen such a miraculous healing fruit."

Facing Eliza's shock, Zhou Huai didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Next, I ask, you answer."

Zhou Huai's voice was cold and calm, "Dare to utter a single word of nonsense, or dare to lie to me, and I guarantee that the death you just experienced will be repeated once again."

Feeling the sense of oppression on Zhou Huai, Eliza trembled all over and instantly sobered up.

She realized that the young man in front of her who could casually instantly kill four Level 60 powerhouses and pull out such a Heaven-Defying divine fruit, his identity and strength were absolutely terrifying to the extreme.

She hurriedly crawled up from the ground, brought her knees together, and respectfully knelt and sat in front of Zhou Huai.

The wings behind her obediently folded and disappeared, keeping her head lowered with her hands on her knees.

"Sir, please ask?"

Eliza's voice was soft and obedient.

Zhou Huai nodded with satisfaction.

"What is going on with the sacred tree you mentioned just now?"

Zhou Huai stared at Eliza's face.

His main purpose for sneaking into the hinterland of the Free Federation this time was to find his mother.

And his mother was precisely the main body of the First World origin sacred tree.

Hearing One-Eyed Dragon mention the "sacred tree" just now, Zhou Huai's nerves instantly tightened; he needed to confirm whether the sacred tree in this girl's mouth had any relation to the origin sacred tree.

Hearing the two words "sacred tree", Eliza's body visibly stiffened.

Keeping her head down, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes.

After all, this was the most core secret of the Family, and it was precisely because of this secret that the entire Family had met with a devastating disaster.

But under Zhou Huai's cold gaze, Eliza still stammered and opened her mouth: "Sir… Actually, the sacred tree we mentioned is not a real tree."

"That is a painting."

Eliza took a deep breath and continued: "Named the "map of sacred traces"."

"It is said to be the late-life painting of a former SSS-level painter of the Free Federation."

"That painter once witnessed the ruins of the Age of Gods with his own eyes, and integrated that indescribable divine charm into the painting. The reason this painting is called the 'sacred tree' is because… through the special Law of the painting itself, it can communicate with the real sacred tree."

Speaking of this, a trace of yearning leaked out in Eliza's eyes.

"As long as one can communicate with the sacred tree, one can obtain the blessing of the sacred tree. Possessing incredible abilities, one can even use this to comprehend the high-dimensional Law of life!"

Eliza gave a bitter smile, her eyes turning sorrowful.

"As a result, that bastard Burke…"

"That is the One-Eyed Dragon killed by you just now."

Eliza gritted her teeth and said: "He didn't know what wind he heard, and stubbornly believed that painting had recently fallen into our Family's hands."

"In order to get this painting, he fell into complete madness. Not only did he use my father's trust in him to slaughter wildly in our Family, but he also killed my father, his good brother!"

Eliza's eye sockets turned slightly red.

"I fought to the death to break out, but he chased me all the way here like a mad dog."

"Thanks to your rescue, Sir, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death by him long ago, and the Family's revenge would never have been avenged."

After listening to Eliza's narration, Zhou Huai was outwardly calm, but his mind became active.

A painting that could communicate the will of the real sacred tree?

Zhou Huai nodded slightly. If he could find that painting, would he be able to directly communicate with his mother?
