章 232: Chapter 155: Appearance (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

With the surge of air, Rein instantly smelled the pungent odor of blood and rot. He couldn't tell whether the stench came from the red flesh or the roots themselves.

"Flesh Tree Spirit!" headmaster Rudolph suddenly exclaimed as something dawned on him.

Having learned from the murals that they were in the ruins of a temple related to the Mother Tree cult, Rudolph's first sight of this monster triggered a connection and soon he recalled its origin!

"This is the Flesh Tree Spirit mentioned in the books, a guardian used by the Mother Tree cult to protect their highest deity!"

"It is said to be dormant most of the time, requiring the sacrifice of a large number of Transcendent beings to awaken it. I didn't expect to see a Flesh Tree Spirit guarding this place!" Rudolph spoke quickly.
