Chapter 144 Treants

The group started moving warily, proceeding to head deeper into the Threat Prison.

Along the way, there was nothing noteworthy that caught their attention like the stone.

After walking for a long time, they arrived in a room with a wide space.

It's as big as 2 basketball courts placed horizontally beside each other.

Inside the room, there were trees planted on the sides of the room with a total of 6 trees while in the middle there's a chair with a skeleton sitting on it.

"Ah!"

The first second that they laid their eyes on the skeleton, the girls were frightened by its sight.

They paled as they looked at the unmoving bones sitting there, wearing a black robe.

Even James and Kenneth also turned pale, while Nathan just looked at it indifferently.

Looking at the girls, it seems like they don't have any plan to move forward now as they stood there, frozen on their feet.

Seeing them all like this, Nathan can't help but suggest, "Since it looks like the skeleton is too much for you guys to look at, we should probably go back now."

"No!"

But to his surprise, Irish refused and had that determined look on her face as she calmed herself down.

She said, "I don't want to go back. Let's try to take a look at it."

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked with concern.

Irish nodded.

At the same time, Mary, Runa, and Natalie also recovered from their shock and started to calm down.

Although looking at the skeleton still feels a little disturbing to them, they can at least resist it now.

With that, the group slowly stepped inside the room, still looking carefully at their surroundings.

"I wonder what this place is…" Natalie muttered.

They surveyed the surroundings without knowing what this place is.

Nathan walked towards the skeleton wearing a robe that was sitting on what seems to be a throne or something.

With a frown, he stretched his hand and was about to touch it.

But suddenly, the ground started shaking and their footing became unsteady, causing the others to fall down by surprise.

"Woahh!!"

"Ah! What is happening!"

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Soon enough, they found the reason why the room shook.

*Boom!*

The 6 trees planted on the side of the room, at this time, have suddenly started moving!

Their roots buried under the soil started coming out of the ground and moved as if it was some vicious tentacles.

Then, a sinister face appeared on the body of those trees and said, "All intruders shall be eliminated!"

The group were shocked by the sudden change of event and were not able to react immediately.

Using its long and thick roots, one of the trees attacked Irish who was the one standing the nearest to it.

*Woosh!*

Because of it's fast speed, the sound of howling sounded, echoing inside this room.

When Nathan saw that the root was about to hit Irish, his face changed and immediately reacted.

He bent his knees and kicked the ground, launching himself towards Irish who stood there, petrified.

Scenes of her life flashed past her eyes and felt the looming death that's about to crush her.

"Ahh!"

She subconsciously closed her eyes out of fright.

But the next second, she felt warm hands picking her up.

When she opens her eyes, she realizes that it was Nathan, who is running at a speed faster than the speed of sound!

'Wah! Nathan!?'

She was not able to process the situation happening in front of her.

There's only one thing that she's sure of.

It's that Nathan saved her from dying.

At the same time, Nathan also grabbed the other 5 before finally starting rushing towards the exit at his maximum speed.

But the trees won't let Nathan escape easily.

"No one shall escape!"

One of the trees muttered.

Then simultaneously, the 6 trees started swinging their roots at Nathan, trying to swat him like a fly.

At this time, Nathan is already covered with sweat.

'Damn, I did not expect that I would meet creatures that have higher power than me in this place!'

Earlier, while saving the others, Nathan also used appraisal on the trees to see their levels.

And what he saw made him sweat.

….

Nathan was surprised to see that the treants have 25 physiques as well as spirit!

While he only has 25 in physique, meaning, those treants are actually hundreds of times more powerful than he is!

And it's not just one treant, but 6!

If he fought that, he was sure that he would not last for even a minute.

Because of that, without hesitation, Nathan made a decision.

'We need to get out of here!'

With that thought on his mind, he rushed out of the room at the fastest speed that he could muster while trying to evade all the attacks coming from all sides.

Noticing that they can't land a hit on Nathan, the treants changed their attack.

They raised their roots in the middle of the room and it started twisting around one another, turning it into one.

Then a back luster appeared on that root making it look terrifying and more sinister.

Seeing it, Nathan was sure, just one hit from that was enough to flatten him and become a fertilizer for those trees.

"Damn, I can't die here!" He muttered,

Waving his hand, a high grade Null Fruit appeared on his hand.

Without hesitation, he bit into it and swallowed it hurriedly.

Immediately, Nathan felt explosive energy spreading throughout his body, to the point that it even made his body start hurting.

"AHHHHHHHH!!"

He speed immediately increase by a few times and finally, got out of the treants room.
