Chapter 220: Illusion and Hypnosis
Translator: Insignia Editor: Svjohn
The sun slowly rose in the horizon and the fog lifted in the forest. A new day had begun.
On a piece of open grassland, a gigantic monster was holding a giant corpse in its mouth, walking towards the strange tree. The area around the tree was full of corpses. They were piling up like a hill, covering almost the whole tree.
These corpses were nothing. There were even more bodies by the entrance of the cliff, waiting for the monster to move them.
The high intensity and repetitive activity together with the high volume of the corpses were already making the violent monster impatient. Occasionally, it would do something to release its frustration, like tear the dead bodies apart and swallow them down to its stomach.
Of course, it would not do that frequently. Most of the time, it was very well-behaved and carried out its daily job carefully. It had had a few bloody lessons before, but its horrible owner was not there at the moment.
Sometimes, when the monster dropped the corpses on the ground, it would stare at the fruit on the tree as if there was something attractive about them, but it never went near them.
The soil around the strange tree had been soaked deeply by the blood of the corpses, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood. Some kind of translucent silk like mycelium seemed to have been awakened by the bloody smell. Since three in the morning, they had started to stretch out from the roots of the tree and wrap tightly around the corpses.
When the silk-like mycelium started to eat the corpses, the thread on the trunk crept slightly in yellow and purple colors. From afar, it looked like the trunk was rotating.
Inside a cave, somewhere in the middle of the cliff, there was a heavy snoring sound that sounded like it was being played by an orchestra.
After being busy the whole night, everyone was exhausted and had fallen asleep early.
There was nothing much to do early in the night, but they started to get busy later. They needed to clean up their new camp and throw all the giants' corpses down from the passage of the cliff.
In such hot weather, if they were to leave the corpses unattended, they would get smelly and rotten and attract a variety of insects and parasites. No one wanted to sleep near smelly, rotten corpses in their new camp.
The giants were not light by any means. They were about five to six meters tall and really burly. Each of them weighed almost a ton, so it was impossible for just one person to move a body. It took at least two or more people to even push one.
When all their hard work was over, everyone was pletely exhausted. As soon as they were done cleaning up the corpses, they immediately fell asleep. Even Luo Yuan, who had a superhuman physique, felt a little tired. However, instead of going to sleep, he opened up the system log.

“You have upgraded!”
Luo Yuan was stunned for a while. He was both happy and surprised. He had not expected an upgrade, but two consecutive, perfectly pleted D-level tasks had increased his experience and led directly to one. It was a pleasant surprise that even lightened the burden of the curse he had suffered.
He hastened to open the properties panel and look at the extra attribute point and five skill points. He could not help but laugh. It took him five whole minutes to calm down.
When he finally did, he closed his eyes and scowled, his face looking slightly serious.
“In the past, whenever I upgraded, I did not seem to cause me such a big mental fluctuation. It seems like the existence of the curse is greatly affecting my Will. A part of my Will is being restricted by the curse, and once there is a trigger, my emotions get out of control."
“This issue cannot be ignored anymore. It should be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I might end up doing something shameful in the future.” Luo Yuan's expression darkened as he imagined a scene where he humiliated himself in front of everyone and lost his prestige.
He tried to stay calm and opened up the properties panel again. He looked at all the properties, but they seemed to be fairly distributed. Other than the bonus of the "Earth Stomp" and the "Heart of the Ghost Tree
