Chapter 224: 197 Night of the Hunt (6) Heart-to-Heart_2

Mr. Liu sneered as he glanced at Lin An, then turned toward the other two, “Lottery and the old accountant?”

Boom~

As soon as his voice fell, he exploded instantly, with countless tree roots rapidly spreading and climbing across the space.

Lin An only heard Lottery scream miserably, and the daydream in his mind suddenly shattered.

“Damn it!”

Lin An frowned and turned back to look at the Witch-hunting Knights, then decided to flip into a crevice of the building.

In an instant, he had transformed into a black cat, then once again like a snow leopard’s Zou Yu, moving quickly with a flash, he had already appeared in the basement of the five-story building of the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary.

“Who’s there!” the old accountant exclaimed, “Black cat… Great Commander?”

Lin An hesitated for a moment, as he had originally planned to transit to a corner of the building and revert to human form to find his subordinates.

But he had not expected that these people would all run out, the old accountant supporting Lottery, with a brother and sister walking in front, one gripping a steel rod and the other holding their daughter with the Caidai.

They had unexpectedly run into each other just like that.

Lin An pursed his lips and looked towards the old accountant with a deep gaze, “Your Blessing Witchcraft does not seem to have worked, my most closely guarded secret is being known by more and more people.”

“I was interrupted just now, I didn’t have time to recast the spell… We will keep this secret for you!” the old accountant’s face changed, and he quickly made a statement, shaking the supporting Lottery vigorously, “You agree, right?”

Lottery smiled bitterly and lifted his head, his face covered in blood, looking much like someone with blood flowing from all seven orifices, “This world is too dangerous, if we don’t stand with the Great Commander, who else can we stand with?”

Thus, the group turned to look at the brother and sister.

The brother frowned and gripped the steel rod tightly, stepping back to protect his sister, who gently patted his shoulder and said softly, “Great Commander, we are all grasshoppers on the same string, without you, it would not be Caidai being taken away by the Dark Sorcerer, but us siblings.”

Clearly not believing in this kind of statement, the brother simply said forcefully, “You can have us sign a magical contract of secrecy.”

As they spoke, something that looked like tree roots began to spread out from the passage leading from the basement to the ground.

The sight frightened everyone into running out of the passage.

“What’s going on?”

Lin An looked at the tree roots with some confusion.

Lottery raised his hand, his right pinkie finger conspicuously missing a section, with a bloodied and mangled tip bearing several indentations.

“That Dark Sorcerer almost tunneled into my head, but I managed to confuse his perception, making him tunnel into my finger instead, and then I bit it off.” he said.

“I didn’t expect it to grow tree roots from the severed finger and reach out towards everyone. The old accountant feared there was a problem with the witchcraft and led everyone to escape.”

Lin An nodded and stood still, looking up at the twisted tree roots climbing up the walls.

This seemed to be a ‘body’?

A body that was the unity of mind, spirit, and flesh.

Mr. Liu seemed to have used his own banyan tree spirit to influence Lottery’s finger, making it manifest as a body corresponding to the spirit.

Lin An thought it to be a body because it pulsed with the rhythm of life.

This rhythm felt like the tidal motions of a beating heart, pumping blood and circulating it through the body.

He was all too familiar with this sensation.

In the Lu Jiao’s research scope, these basics were essential, whether it was constructing a Breathing Skill Furnace for one’s own body or crafting armor from a Sorcerer Zombie’s corpse, all required delving into these aspects.

His expression flickered as he reached out to touch the tree roots on the wall.

“Great Commander, be careful!” Lottery exclaimed in alarm.

However, the old accountant had no response. He had been in a hurry to lead everyone out and didn’t have time to bestow the Blessing Witchcraft on the Great Commander, and there was clearly a mistake. Now he was hastily casting spells to make up for it.

With Sky Drifter Eyes surveying the surroundings, Lin An could clearly sense the state, the look in the eyes, and every detail of the motions of the people behind him.

The sister who had just spoken of loyalty now had a flickering expression, whereas her brother looked at Lin An with a straightforward concern.

Lin An said nothing, simply touching the tree roots gently. Instantly, several roots climbed up toward his fingertips.

The roots crawled and crawled, and in a matter of seconds, they had enveloped his entire palm.

Yes, that’s right, this is a body!

Not only that, it had the rhythm of spirituality but lacked the part of the soul.

A body and spirituality, without a soul, that’s a Sorcerer Zombie!

“So that’s how it is!”

Lin An blinked, generally figuring out what Mr. Liu’s angle was.

This mentor had definitely clarified the trinity relationship of ‘body, soul, and spirituality’ and had gone further than Lin An had pondered, moving from theory to application.

He must have first practiced the research outcomes of Lu Tingyu, turning his own spirituality into a Breathing Skill Furnace. Then, based on his lack of spirituality, he attempted to fuse his ‘body and soul’ with the spirituality of the giant banyan tree.

Then, Mr. Liu must have used some method to destroy that Furnace, took out the spirituality again, and merged it with the spirituality of the giant banyan tree that had been greatly influenced by him.

Through this, he completely constructed his own ‘Will of the Furnace’.

After that, it seemed to be a cycle of such routines over and over again.

He used his ‘Will of the Furnace’ representing his spirituality and his soul to connect to the body of the giant banyan tree.

Then he used the body of the giant banyan tree and his own Will of the Furnace to connect to the souls of others!

And the method of this connection was ‘Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft’!

That was the effect Lin An saw on the spiritual level, where the aerial roots of the giant banyan tree penetrated some bodies, plunged into the ground, and sprouted another split spirituality.

A very unique nesting technique indeed~~

But then…

There’s a very important issue here—when connecting oneself with others, not only can one control the others, but they might also control oneself.

Oh, he’s caught on, the Game Theory and techniques of Lu Jiao, as well as Mr. Liu’s own ‘Life Gambit Curse Slaughter Scale.’

Even, Lin An thought of the ‘Mind Balance Curse’ Mr. Liu taught him, the technique to mobilize the spirituality of his subordinates for his own use.

This means that sometimes the one linking others might not necessarily be Mr. Liu himself.

It could be Mr. Liu’s avatar, like the giant banyan tree, or other avatars.

With the same equal weight of soul and spirit, those avatars of Mr. Liu’s are all distorted to an extreme degree by practicing Dark Witchcraft, naturally having more aggressive power than a normal soul.

“Heart-to-Heart…”

Murmuring, Lin An’s lips curled up slightly, and his eyes sparkled.

Currently preoccupied, Mr. Liu obviously couldn’t extend his soul to support the integrity of the roots growing from these fingertips.

That meant, this was clearly a good opportunity to gather Mr. Liu’s ‘body’!

Not just any body, this combination of body and spirituality, ha, is precisely what the Armor of Witch-hunting Knights’ Breathing Skill Furnace loves, always used as excellent material to create Sorcerer Zombie Armor.

Thanks to the teachings of Professor Cao, Doctor Zhang, and other Witch-hunting Knights, Lin An had a good knowledge base in this area.
