Shocked, Alex yelled.
“No!!!”
However, it was too late. The child’s head hit the ground hard, but the imagined scene of a popped and bloody head did not happen. Instead, the child hit it directly to itself.
“No?”
“Where did it go? Was it my illusion?”
Alex rubbed his eyes and immediately discovered that they did not work here, he could not even see through the stone ground. Thus, he forced open his divine eye, which he had not used for a long time.
He didn‘t expect that it would come in handy this time. The divine eye could sense holy energy.
In the ruins, various Bodhisattva statues, the actual body of the Buddha after death, giant white bones of unknown species were all emitting faint holy energy. With the help of the divine eyes, Alex could see very clearly. The holy energy was like streams of air, all leading in a certain direction.
Alex’s divine power was also decreasing.
“It’ s that little kid?!”
Alex was shocked because of this little kid’s ability. He had devoured all that holy energy, but how old was he anyway? At such a young age, he was massive. What kind of monster was this?
A demon?
Alex had searched the place several times over, but he had never found any living thing before. The ruins were like a forgotten corner of the universe where no life was left behind. Now, he finally found a living person. How could he miss it?
“Come out, little brother. Let‘s talk!” Alex approached and said.
“Yah yah yah yah yah…”
The little boy vocalized. It sounded like anger and a command. Alex couldn’t understand it, and he was getting ready to take him down.
Unexpectedly, the little thing was very flexible. Although his legs were short, he ran swiftly. No matter how Alex chased, he failed to catch up. This little guy was able to burrow around in the ground, like an expert underground.
This would be difficult for Alex, he could not reach the ground even if he could teleport.
Alex said to the little boy, “Since you don’t want to talk about it, forget it. I don’t need to know anyway! Seeing that you can absorb such a huge amount of holy energy, your body should be extraordinary… Now, it is equal to a living treasure trove… No, it’s immortal medicine, and with the holy energy factor, I should get large benefits just by eating you.”
Once he heard Alex say he would eat him, the little boy became a little scared.
Immediately, he shook his head and waved his hands. “No, don’t eat me!”
Alex laughed lightly. “A little demon of unknown origin with so much holy energy in his body. If I don’t eat you now, would I have to wait until the new year?”
The little boy saw Alex getting ready to eat. He quickly shouted, “I’m not a little demon. You’re mistaken.”
“Then what are you?”
“I am… the Ancestral Bodhi Tree!”
“Huh?”
