Chapter 239 [Seed of Corruption]
Screaming together with this deformed and ugly sarcoma, was Gelisi who was about to give Mumu the [Seed of Life].
As the "Saint" chosen by the [Giant Wood God], there is a special connection between Gelisi and [The Seed of Life].
At this time, the fear and pain felt by [Seed of Life] were also transmitted to it simultaneously.
Hearing the scream of Golisi, Nigel and the other tree people couldn't help but be stunned, not knowing what happened.
Mumu took advantage of this opportunity and ran away without hesitation.
Niger naturally couldn’t let it escape like this, he roared angrily.
“Grab it!”
Several tree men immediately surrounded him from all directions.
They have been blessed by the [Seed of Life], and their vitality is extremely strong.
Whether it is speed or strength, it is far above the withered and weakened wood. We must catch it as soon as we see it.
Mumu’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal despair.
But just now.
The deep darkness suddenly expanded in the sea water.
The dark shadows spread and intertwined in this underwater forest, expanding infinitely like a web.
And among the intertwined shadows, countless stars and bits of light emerged.
It makes this place look like the deep sea tens of thousands of meters below, or the night sky full of stars.
Beautiful, cold, and dangerous.
"What is this..."
Nigel looked around blankly, feeling shocked in his heart.
In this seemingly beautiful scene, it felt a deadly murderous intention.
It seems that if he acts rashly, he will lose his life at any time.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
Nigel warned his companions: "Stop where you are, don't move!"
Even a line This is true for Nigel, the strongest among the tree people, not to mention the other tree people.
In front of this starry sea, they felt an unprecedented fear.
If I must say...it is the fear of the stars, the universe, and their own insignificance.
"Ah! [Seed of Life]..."
Suddenly at this moment, a cry of surprise came from the darkness.
It is the voice of Ge Lisi.
The tree people couldn't help but become more panicked, but because of Nigel's warning, no one dared to act without authorization.
Fortunately, the mysterious and deep darkness around us did not last long.
In just a moment, the deep darkness began to fade away like a tide.
Nigel looked around and found that his companions were all safe, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ge Lisi stood there. Although he was not injured, his expression became extremely serious.
"That guy stole the [Seed of Life]!"
The [Seed of Life] that was previously located among its branches has disappeared.
Also disappeared was Mumu, who was surrounded.
"Damn it! This is bad!"
The expression on Nigelshu's face was very ugly.
Its original plan was to directly transform Mumu into one of them, so it told the secret information without any scruples, in order to make this former friend "die".
But now, not only did Mumu escape, but he was also robbed of a [Seed of Life]?
If the elders above are blamed, it will be doomed!
"The darkness just now...is the realm?"
In contrast, Ge Lisi regained his composure faster and thought: "Human! The guy who just took action is a human. ! ”
It is very clear that Mumu definitely does not have such weird and unpredictable means.
Besides, Nigel quickly came to his senses, and suddenly said in shock: "It's the human who broke in before!"
Xia En made a scene not long ago. It's not big.
Almost half of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees] were alarmed.
By connecting the two, it will not be difficult for the tree people to guess the identity of the attacker.
"That guy actually stole the [Seed of Life]?"
"What on earth did he want to do?"
Both Nigel and Gelis found it a little difficult to understand.
In fact, there has been no trace of humans in [City of Giant Woods] for a long time.
——Except for humans who were forcibly dragged down to the sea by vines and sacrificed.
Explorers like those found in other underwater ruins almost do not exist in [City of Giant Trees].
As the notoriety of [City of Giant Woods] gradually spreads, even ships like [Warm Snow] dare not approach this sea area easily, let alone other small ships.
Moreover.
People at sea go fishing in underwater ruins, isn’t it just for the heritage in the ruins?
The [City of Giant Trees] is basically a primitive underwater forest, with nothing but nothing, and tree people who are eyeing humans.
Why should the salvage ship take great risks to explore here?
Wouldn’t it be nice to go to those underwater ruins that are both safe and rich?
This is why Mumu was so excited and novel when seeing Xia En.
It is for this reason that Nigel and other tree talents feel extremely puzzled and confused.
Why does this human come to [City of Giant Trees]?
Do you want to interfere with their affairs in the human world?
As for taking away the [Seed of Life], it is even more unreasonable.
[The Seed of Life] is a gift from the [Giant Wood God], and not everyone can use it.
Ordinary tree people like Nigel do not have the ability to activate the [Seed of Life]. Only "saints" with special status like Gelis can give it to other tree people.
The opponent is a human, even if he gets the [Seed of Life], it’s useless!
"However, that person may not be a simple human being."
Ge Lisi recalled the screams made by [Seed of Life] just now, feeling both jealous and a little scared.
This was the first time that it felt such a strong fear from [Seed of Life].
In other words, this is also the first time it realized...
It turns out that [Seed of Life] can also be afraid?
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Ge Lisi said to everyone.
“Anyway, the current situation is beyond our capabilities.”
“We will report the matter to Grandpa Fana now and let the elders decide what to do. Do it.”
Ge Lisi’s status among the tree people is comparable to that of the backbone.
As soon as it spoke, the tree people naturally had no objection and turned around and walked into the forest together.
…
…
The other side.
Xia En took Mumu through the other direction of the forest.
The pitch-black darkness just now was naturally his domain [Great Dark Sky].
With Xia En's strength, it was not difficult to kill these tree men in the field.
But he had an instinctive hunch.
It would be okay if he killed other people, but if he killed the self-proclaimed "Saint", it seemed that it would attract the attention of a certain existence.
That is most likely the will of the [Giant Wood God]!
Xia En has just started to explore the [City of Giant Trees] and does not plan to face the final big BOSS directly yet.
on the other hand.
Gliss and Nigel are Mumu’s friends after all.
Even though they seemed to have turned into another person under the influence of [Seed of Life], Mumu still missed the old relationship and said to Xia En, "Don't kill them!"
Xia En stopped there.
While casting [Great Dark Sky].
Shane also noticed that the malice in the surrounding forest had become noticeably stronger. It was as if there were thousands of eyes hiding in this dense underwater forest, peering at him with malicious eyes.
Furthermore, there is an invisible force spreading in the sea water, as if it is weakening his [Great Dark Sky].
Although the magnitude of this weakening is not large, it also makes Xia En wary.
After all, if this weakening can continue to be superimposed, it will be tantamount to half of his [Great Dark Sky]'s ability!
"Wait a minute, could this be a confrontation between realms?"
Xia En suddenly woke up.
In the words of the tree people, this forest is the "god's kingdom" of the [Giant Wood God].
In other words, it is the domain of the [Giant Wood God].
And my own domain, an outsider, will undoubtedly be naturally suppressed by this domain.
This is the real reason why [Great Dark Sky] was weakened.
Realizing this, Xia En couldn't help but be a little shocked.
He looked around, and what he saw was a lush forest, with no end as far as the eye could see.
Such a large area is the only one he has ever seen in his life!
Moreover, although it is huge, this field still has considerable suppressive power and can still weaken his [Great Dark Sky].
The combination of the two is quite terrifying.
One can imagine how powerful the being known as the [Giant Wood God] would be.
"He is worthy of being named a 'god'..."
Xia En sighed in his heart: "But, is he really a real god?"
>
Xia En couldn't help but think of the form of the [Seed of Life] he saw earlier.
That kind of filthy, ugly, deformed sarcoma has nothing to do with the word "vitality" and will only make people instinctively feel uncomfortable and disgusted.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a "gift" that should be bestowed by a righteous god. Rather, it looks like a creation of an evil god.
It’s just...
Xia En looked down.
The previously deformed and ugly sarcoma now returned to the appearance of the green seeds.
Judging from its appearance, it seems to be just a part of some kind of plant, and it doesn't feel like flesh and blood.
That faint breath of life seems to be impossible to fake.
This seems very strange.
If Xia En hadn't been so confident in himself, he might have suspected that he had hallucinated before.
However, even so, Xia En always had a faint dislike for this seed.
It was as if his intuition was giving a warning.
So, Xia En still believed that there was definitely something wrong with this seed.
The comments on the panel also proved his conjecture.
[Seed of ▇▇]
[Quality: Epic]
[Type: Material]
[Description: The creation called the "Seed of Life" by the tree people has undergone the secret power of ▇▇, making it impossible to see its true face. 】
【It is said that it can rejuvenate tree people and get rid of their original shackles. 】
【So, what is the price? 】
For some reason, like the previous [Fragments of the Alienated Tree Man], there are some vague handwriting on its notes.
It was as if there was a special power that obscured the content of these words.
Xia En immediately paid great attention to it.
The existence that can slightly affect the [Eye of the Secret Sea] must have its own uniqueness.
However, based on the unobstructed content, Xia En can also judge——
The ugly appearance of [Seed of Life] he saw before is its true face!
"You have to take it to the ship and study it carefully."
Just when Xia En was thinking this, Mumu in his hand suddenly said.
"Benefactor, please put me down?"
Hearing this, Xia En gradually stopped and looked at the tree that had suffered a heavy blow.
"Are you... okay?"
What happened to Mumu just now, even from the perspective of a bystander like Xia En, was a bit too tragic.
Being bullied, double betrayed, attacked by a minotaur, and finally almost fell into evil hands.
If it were a young boy with a weak will, he would probably be in a state of collapse.
However, looking at Mumu's expression, although she was still a little frustrated, her mood was still calm, which made Xia En feel a little relieved.
“Benefactor, I’m fine.”
Mumu said seriously: "Now I have to quickly find Grandpa Hunter and tell the other conservatives this news."
"Otherwise, [City of Giant Woods] will be completely destroyed."
< br>Xia En asked: "Does the current conservative faction still have the strength to fight?"
Mumu smiled bitterly: "Originally, if Uncle Farner had not rebelled, there should still be a slight chance of winning."
“But since it has switched sides, it means that the tree people among the executioners will also switch to the reformists.”
"Now... hope is probably very slim."
There is one more thing Mumu didn't say to Xia En.
In fact, the conservative faction is not monolithic, and many tree people have always had a tendency to waver.
Now, Elder Fana's rebellion will undoubtedly bring about a series of chain reactions, causing some wavered old tree people to change their stance.
Xia En asked again: "Speaking of which, why are you still unwilling to join their side?"
"Is it because of Hunter?"
This incident actually made Xia En quite curious.
Before, regardless of whether Nigel and his party were coerced or induced, Mumu had no intention of actively accepting the [Seed of Life], not even a hint.
Judging from Mumu’s performance, it looks a bit like a young rebellious boy.
Mumu said frankly: "Grandpa Hunter is of course on one side."
"Another reason is..."
"I heard that in fact, a thousand years ago, all of us tree people should have died in the great flood."
"It was the spirit. ...It was the goddess who made the sacrifice that allowed us to survive.”
“Even if it’s ugly, at least it’s alive, right?”
Hearing this, Xia En. Somewhat surprised.
"In short, for our clan, that goddess is actually very kind."
Mumu said with a simple smile: "I just feel that I cannot repay kindness with hatred, so I have never wanted to believe in that [Giant Wood God]. "
"That's it."
Xia En nodded: "Then do you know where the goddess's temple... is located in this city?"
"Temple?"
Mumu looked confused and guessed: "It seems to have been blocked by the [Giant Wood God]'s men for a long time, right?"
"I don't know where it is specifically."
Rejected After the answer, Shane was not discouraged.
He didn’t think he was lucky enough to be able to find the target on the first day of [Submarine].
Afterwards, Xia En and Mumu said goodbye.
And the moment Xia En ended his submersible, the words on the panel changed.
The blurry "▇▇" began to dissipate, replaced by discernible words.
【Submarine is over! 】
【Get the trophy: Seed of Corruption! 】
