Chapter 342 Confrontation
The dense forest projection twisted and changed, and finally turned into an endless root system.

These roots are entangled with the big spiders built by the blood lake water, and it looks as if they grow directly on them!
And the place where all the roots gather is not a towering tree, but a broken stump.

"Holy tree!" Ian recognized the identity of the tree stump projection at a glance, because it looks exactly the same as the tree stump outside.

This change was unexpected, but within reason!

The particularity of the dense forest comes from the sacred tree, and it is normal for the sacred tree to have dense roots.

As the core of the dense forest, the sacred tree naturally best represents the entire Mirkwood.

After transforming into a sacred tree, the projection and the spider, who were not interfering with each other before, began to interact with each other!
"How could the holy tree grow on the spider?" Legolas was a little puzzled.

"Maybe it's not the holy tree that grows on the big spider, but the big spider relies on the holy tree!" Ian guessed.

The root system of the sacred tree seems to be intertwined in a disorderly manner, but in fact, as long as you observe carefully, you can still find patterns.

Each light spot on the big spider's body representing the spider king of the spider nest is located at the node where the roots of the holy tree meet.

"Obviously, every spider nest of the giant spider was not built randomly!" Ian analyzed.

Otherwise, there is no reason for the distribution of those light spots to be such a coincidence?
After Ian's reminder, Legolas quickly realized:

"It's no wonder that in previous wars, the giant spider didn't care about the spider's loss at all, but it was extremely fancy about the spider's nest. Even if the frontline war fails, there are enough guards in the spider's nest!"

It is precisely because of these light spots that the giant spider and the projection of the holy tree, which seem to have no connection, actually have a sense of harmony and unity.

Through these nodes, the blood lake water is eroding little by little, or pouring into the projection of the holy tree.

And the projection of the sacred tree, which obviously has no entity, actually absorbed the blood lake water, and instinctively digested and absorbed it.

Even with the absorption of the blood lake water, the projection of the sacred tree began to reveal its deep-seated power.

It instinctively suppressed the big spider, slowing down the infusion speed of the blood lake so that it could be absorbed more thoroughly.

Even without consciousness, the remaining instinct of the sacred tree still knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

But the big spider didn't care at all, and had no intention of resisting at all, and just silently provided blood lake water.

"Will there be any problem with the holy tree absorbing the lake water?" Aragorn asked.

The blood lake made by the giant spider is very strange at first glance, so it is not surprising that he has this guess.

"As long as the holy tree maintains the current absorption rate, it won't be a big problem! The blood lake was originally made from the lives of countless spiders, and it is full of energy and nutrition!" Ian explained.

In this way, instead of eroding the sacred tree, the big spider spared no effort to feed it.

Of course, the spider god's purpose is definitely not that simple, it must have a deep meaning in doing so.

However, with the activeness of the two, the interaction between the two began to increase, and some problems gradually emerged.

Careful observation reveals that neither the spider nor the holy tree is complete.

The spider is a bit unfinished at the tail, and seems to be missing a certain body structure.

And the root system of the holy tree was cut off out of thin air at the same place, including many main root systems.

These root systems do exist, and they have obviously extended to farther places, and they have not been truncated, but they are simply not projected.

The silent holy tree can be projected, completely relying on the spider nests on the root nodes, and where there are no spider nests, naturally it cannot be projected.

And the missing piece, if replaced with the previous projection of the jungle, happens to be the northern part of the Mirkwood, the current habitat of the wood elves.

There is an extension of the power of the holy tree in that place, but there is absolutely no spider nest.

'The big spider and the holy tree are both incomplete, and accidents are more likely! 'Ian felt hopeful again.

For the time being, no surprises that can be exploited have been found.

However, the current state of the big spider and the projection of the holy tree are very strange, and even Aragorn has found an abnormality:
"What is the purpose of this spider god? The big spider it created doesn't seem to be eroding the sacred tree?"

Although the blood lake water looks weird, it has shown extraordinary corrosiveness before.

But the effect shown at this time is indeed more like helping the sacred tree recover, rather than eroding the sacred tree.

"Only by restoring the vitality of the sacred tree first, can it erode the sacred tree better!" Legolas replied.

He is very disgusted and wary of the spider god, and naturally speculates about its behavior with the greatest malice.

But his speculation is not without reason.

The state of the holy tree is very quiet at this time, if it is not revived first, forcible erosion will only lead to the complete death of the holy tree.

Although he hated the spider god, but seeing that the projection of the holy tree became more active and more spiritual, Legolas did not act rashly.

"The special feature of Mirkwood lies mainly in the sacred tree." Ian analyzed,

"The holy tree has long been silent, forcibly eroding the holy tree may cause its remaining vitality to disappear completely.

Without the existence of the holy tree, what's the point of the Spider God occupying Mirkwood?
If you just want to occupy a piece of land, there are not a few unowned jungles larger than Mirkwood in Middle-earth! "

Seeing that the holy tree projection activity is getting stronger and stronger, Ian suggested again:

"Legolas, try it, can you communicate with the holy tree now?"

Ian and the others don't know Spider God's next plan yet.

If you can communicate with the sacred tree in advance, even if you can't communicate smoothly, as long as you can get some information feedback, it will be extremely beneficial to the next response.

In this regard, Legolas' status as the wood elf prince naturally has an advantage.

Elves are naturally close to plants, and the sacred tree has been enshrined by the wood elves for so long.

Even if it didn't have any consciousness at the time, it would inevitably be influenced by some subtle influences and become closer to the wood elves.

"Okay!" Legolas nodded, approached a sacred tree root, reached out to support the root, and tried to communicate.

Afterwards, he maintained this movement like this, and there was no other movement.

The sacred tree's spirituality has just recovered a little, so it must be very weak; after a long period of silence, its response must be very slow.

Difficulty communicating is an inevitable consequence.

Therefore, this communication process will definitely take a lot of time.

Ian didn't bother Legolas, and his attention returned to the projection of the holy tree.

Vitality grows, spirituality recovers, and the projection of the holy tree gradually reveals its extraordinary.

A sacred aura is also gradually revealed, the aura is not too strong, but it naturally has a feeling of being above everything else.

"This holy tree must have been extremely powerful back then!" Ian's evaluation of the holy tree was even higher.

The sacred tree has only a stump left, and it has been silent for countless years.

Now only a trace of aura is revealed, and there is such an atmosphere, which shows how powerful it was back then!

At the same time, Spider God also showed his aura through his current body.

Its aura is also very powerful, but it is more than one level inferior to the Holy Tree in terms of quality.

Only with stronger activity and greater volume, it can barely compete with the momentum of the holy tree.

"Obviously the blood lake water is still nourishing the sacred tree, but the imposing confrontation is not polite at all. The spider god's purpose is not pure!" Ian sighed.

"It's not simple in the first place. It might be the holy tree itself! It doesn't matter if it nourishes the holy tree with blood lake water. Anyway, in its cognition, it is its own thing in the end, and it won't lose anything." Aragorn continued analyzed,
"But the battle of momentum is different. The victory or defeat of the battle of momentum may determine the future dominance, so it cannot give up an inch!"

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Spider God can persevere until the end, and the plan must be successful, otherwise everything is useless.

Hearing Aragorn's analysis, Ian's eyes lit up and he made a suggestion:
"This is a good opportunity, maybe we can interfere?"

Blood Lake Water and the others really had nowhere to attack, but they didn't have so many worries if it was pure aura.

"You can try it!" Aragorn expanded his aura without hesitation and joined the confrontation.

However, he mainly aimed at the aura of the spider god, and did not provoke the holy tree.

The holy tree has weak spirituality and does not have any complicated thinking. As long as Aragorn does not provoke and stimulate him, he will not be targeted by him.

"I'll try too!" Ian also released his aura and joined the confrontation.

The four powerful auras confront each other, faintly and directly affecting the reality, and there is a feeling of turbulence in the underground cave.

Among them, the momentum of the holy tree is the weakest, but its essence is the strongest, sacred and uncommon, standing still.

And the spider god has the strongest aura, although it is not outstanding in nature, it is the most majestic, and it is endless, overwhelming all directions.

Ian's aura is not weak at all, and it is also majestic, but it has a feeling of vanity, and its resistance is obviously insufficient.

This is mainly because he has not fully integrated into this dimension, so he seems a bit out of place. Even the invisible force of aura is also suppressed by the dimension to a certain extent.

In the end, Aragorn's aura is the weakest, but he is also extraordinary, upright and extremely tenacious, and faintly has a kingly demeanor.

These qualities made his aura not easily crushed by the Spider God.

It is said that there are four auras, but in fact, the spider god is fighting three with one, and the three auras are not weak!

"Huh?" Ian felt a little incredulous.

In this state, the spider god's aura didn't collapse directly?

Not only did it not collapse, it even got stronger little by little under strong pressure!

Carefully observe the big green spider formed by the blood lake water in the air.

Ian keenly discovered that the countless stars on the big spider were flickering slightly!
He instantly understood why:

"The Spider God has the blessing of the entire giant spider family? No wonder!"

If there is no external help, even if Ian and the two don't intervene, the holy tree is enough to crush the spider god.

After all, Spider God has already reached the bottleneck, and the aura he is showing now is already his own limit.

But the holy tree has just begun to recover, and it is still recovering at a high speed, and its momentum will only become stronger and stronger.

"With the blessing of countless giant spiders, it can no longer be contained!" Aragorn also discovered the problem.

"It doesn't matter, the matter will not end so easily, let's not worry, and continue to wait for the opportunity!" Ian replied.

He was not in a hurry at all, because the recovery speed of the holy tree was no slower than that of the Spider God.

The blessing of the pure giant spider family can at most keep it undefeated, and it is definitely not enough for it to win.

Sure enough, with the passage of time, after the momentum was rejuvenated, a kind of power emerged from the projection of the holy tree again, which was the life force of the holy tree.

Ever since, in addition to the imposing confrontation, the two sides have increased the confrontation of strength.

It is also a matter of 'quality' against 'quantity', but this time the situation is different.

"The Holy Tree doesn't seem to be the opponent this time?" Aragorn saw that the Holy Tree was at a disadvantage in the power confrontation.

"The power of the Sacred Tree is too gentle, while the power of the Spider God has extremely corrosive characteristics. If the two sides confront each other head-on, the Sacred Tree must suffer!" Ian analyzed.

"Should we do something?" Aragorn asked a little worried.

"We can't do anything for now!" Ian shook his head helplessly.

Aragorn doesn't have special power, and the power he can emit is extremely limited, which doesn't help the current situation.

"Do you keep looking at it like this?" Aragorn frowned slightly.

"Maintain the momentum of confrontation, continue to apply pressure, and don't let it completely gain the upper hand!" Ian replied,

"Other than that, we can only watch for the time being! But we definitely still have a chance, and the matter won't just end like this!"

Strength and arrogance, the suppression of one aspect alone is not enough, two aspects must be fully suppressed, and the Spider God can win the final victory.

"The situation in front of me is probably just a foreplay before the main show." Ian added.

After all, while momentum and power are confronting each other, the integration of spiders and projections is getting deeper and deeper!

And with the passage of time, the fusion between the two sides was not limited to the big spider providing nourishment for the holy tree to recover, but the power of the holy tree gradually began to penetrate into the big spider.

The most important thing is that the big spider did not take the initiative to resist the infiltration of the power of the holy tree at all, nor did it take the initiative to digest the power infiltrated by the holy tree!
Instead, let it conflict with its own power in the body!
"There is a problem!" Ian keenly felt that something was wrong.

He didn't believe that the Spider God would do such a thankless thing, even if he did it, it must have a deep meaning!
Then he thought of another possibility: "Or is this the purpose of the Spider God?"

Under normal circumstances, it would definitely not allow the two forces to conflict within itself, even if this is not its body.

After all, that feeling is not only uncomfortable, but also easy to play off, putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

For the time being, this kind of power conflict is not too intense, and it has not yet exposed its flaws.

However, if this situation continues, the result may not be certain!

"Why does it torture itself?" Aragorn was also puzzled.

"I don't know!" Ian shook his head,
"Whatever its purpose is, it will surface soon!"

At this moment, the accident happened again suddenly.

On both the spider and the projection of the holy tree, another force emerged at the same time...
