 ### Chapter 1686: Walking Maple Tree, Kill It First

The Maple Forest Secret Realm is only open for 30 days, which is actually quite short. Lin Moyu spent more than 30 days in the Black Rain Secret Realm. The Black Rain Secret Realm has no time limit, so he didn't need to rush. But now, it's different.

Lin Moyu is not sure if his method will work. If it doesn't, he will have to rely on luck, repeatedly entering and exiting the secret realm, which also takes time. He collected blood-red maple leaves from one maple forest after another.

Because he knew the distribution of all the maple forests in the secret realm, he chose the optimal route. The number of blood-red maple leaves in his hand increased rapidly, soon exceeding 300. Counting the blood-red maple leaves obtained by others, it must have already exceeded a thousand.

When Lin Moyu collected the 362nd blood-red maple leaf, the secret realm suddenly shook. Lin Moyu saw a flash of red light in the sky. The originally bright sky faintly turned red. However, after a few seconds, the sky returned to normal. It was not the arrival of the blood-red sky, it seemed to be just a little short.

But through this event, Lin Moyu confirmed that his idea was probably correct. As he continued, a maple tree not far away suddenly shook. Its body instantly grew taller, pulling its roots out of the ground. The roots turned into legs, and the branches turned into hands, each hand enormous.

This transformation was completed in just two seconds. It stretched its body and then started running wildly towards Lin Moyu. "A walking maple tree!"

Lin Moyu remembered the warning from the Human Emperor Network: if you encounter a walking maple tree, use the escape talisman immediately. Now he understood why the Human Emperor Network gave such a warning. The walking maple tree's aura had reached the level of a god.

Through the soul eye, he could see that this creature was covered with runes, large fragments of ancient runes connected together, greatly increasing its power. Lin Moyu could clearly feel the extremely powerful rule power. Rule power is a higher level of power than law power. Rule power is very strong.

If it's just a small amount, it can be erased with law power. But if the amount is large, it becomes troublesome. The walking maple tree in front of him had rule power that was not weak. Although it only had the aura of a first-level god, an ordinary first-level god was no match for it.

That's why the Human Emperor Network gave such a warning, without distinguishing whether you are a god king or a god. Obviously, the Human Emperor Network also believed that even a god should escape when encountering it.

Lin Moyu roughly calculated the number of maple forests in the two secret realms and the total number of blood-red maple leaves, which would not exceed 2500. He had obtained a total of 378 blood-red maple leaves. Those who farmed merit points in the divine city had obtained at least 800 to 900 blood-red maple leaves.

Counting his own, "Taking away half of the blood-red maple leaves will trigger a change." "I just don't know if the triggered change is fixed or random." "If I kill the walking maple tree, will there be further changes?"

Lin Moyu thought a lot in an instant. The maple tree rune beast had already rushed in front of him. Before it could make a move, dense sword energy had already swept over. The skeletal god generals stood in front of Lin Moyu and took action first.

Hundreds of sword energies fell on the maple tree rune beast almost simultaneously. The huge force exploded, and the maple tree's forward momentum was immediately stopped. Its whole body glowed, and the ancient runes on its body appeared, emitting a bright light. The rule power of the ancient runes rose, and a layer of blood-red mist appeared on the surface of the maple tree. The blood-red mist looked very thin but was extremely solid, swallowing all the sword energy.

"Ancient runes are indeed very strong!" Lin Moyu was not surprised. He had already felt the power of the ancient runes on the maple tree. Compared to the rune beasts in the Black Rain Secret Realm, the maple tree rune beast was much stronger.

The maple tree rune beast seemed a bit angry. It swung its fists made of branches, attacking densely. It had hundreds of fists, all made of branches, each fist could extend and stretch. The attacks came quickly and fiercely, with the fists also flashing with ancient runes.

The ancient runes released a peculiar rule power. Once targeted by the fists, there was no way to avoid it. The skeletal god generals' bodies glowed with golden armor. The golden armor overlapped, forming a strong defense between reality and illusion.

The golden armor could withstand several attacks from a god, serving as the first layer of defense for the skeletal god generals. Especially when overlapped, the power of the golden armor was even greater. The maple tree rune beast's attacks were fast and dense, almost thousands of attacks per second.

The golden armor was quickly shattered, layer by layer. The skeletal god generals' eyes flashed red, and the soul flames burned fiercely. Streams of law star rivers appeared in the sky. Hundreds of law star rivers, all bone laws, identical.

In the law star rivers, countless bones rolled like waves, crashing and making piercing sounds. The skeletal god generals activated the law star rivers, representing their full strength. The law star rivers poured down, falling on the skeletal god generals.

The skeletal god generals' bodies also became bright and dazzling. The originally white bones now shone like white jade, dazzlingly bright. The bone swords in the skeletal god generals' hands were covered with a layer of gray-white. The gray was the power of death in the undead law. The white was the bone law.

As for what the bone law was used for, Lin Moyu didn't understand. But he knew that the bone law should not be weak, at least it could enhance the skeletal god generals' attack power. The hundred skeletal god generals raised their swords and rushed at the maple tree rune beast, engaging in a fierce melee battle.

The ancient runes flashed, and the rule power rose. The blood-red mist blocked most of the attacks. The skeletal god generals swung their swords, cutting through the red mist again and again, but the damage they could cause was limited.

The maple tree rune beast swung its fists, shattering the golden armor and constantly knocking the skeletal god generals away. However, its power was not enough to kill the skeletal god generals instantly. The damage the skeletal god generals received was shared by the entire undead army.

If the battle continued, the skeletal god generals would eventually win. But it would take a lot of time, probably days and nights to determine the winner. Lin Moyu watched for a while and already understood the ancient runes on the maple tree rune beast.

It was an ancient rune that combined defense and attack. It could block most damage and enhance attacks. Knowing this, he lost interest. With a thought, a large number of skeletal god generals appeared in the sky and on the ground.

Lin Moyu summoned two thousand skeletal god generals at once, surrounding the maple tree rune beast. Having seen enough, it was time to end the battle without wasting more time. Dense sword energy swept in from all directions, carrying the power of law and bombarding the maple tree rune beast.

The ancient runes raised the blood-red mist, but this time it couldn't block it. There was too much sword energy, quickly tearing the blood-red mist apart. Lin Moyu saw with his own eyes that the ancient runes on the maple tree rune beast cracked and exploded.

The ancient runes were made up of many fragments, not complete, just pieced together haphazardly, extremely unstable. Once it exceeded its limit, it would break directly. Without the protection of the ancient runes, the maple tree rune beast's aura quickly weakened.

Branches flew everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, it was dismembered by the skeletal god generals.
