Chapter 240 The new form of Xian Ge, illusion or reality?
In the captain's cabin.
Xia En's consciousness returned to his original form, and at the same time he brought back the spoils of the dive.
But the moment this "seed" left the sea water, its appearance suddenly changed drastically.
Now it has completely turned into a rotten and ugly tumor.
Numerous tentacles of varying lengths and interlocking roots are attached to the surface of the sarcoma, and are still moving slightly.
As the sarcoma moves, thick green mucus is continuously secreted from it, emitting a strong stench.
Except that the eyeballs on the tentacles were completely closed and fell into dormancy, everything was the same as what Xia En had seen before.
This means that the scene that Shane saw not long ago was not an illusion.
This ugly and distorted appearance is the true face of this seed!
Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but feel a little creepy.
Based on his experience of exploring [City of Giant Trees] this time, it is not difficult to guess that most of the tree people in the city have accepted this existence called [Seed of Life].
And if such a sarcoma takes root in the body, will the tree people really be reborn?
Xia En instinctively realized that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.
“Its real name is [Seed of Corruption]?”
Xia En's eyes fell on the panel, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the real name of the tumor.
In fact, the rotten smell exuding from this sarcoma made him feel a little familiar.
Plus this name...
"Could this kind of thing be related to [Huisi Siming]?"
Xia En frowned slightly and guessed in his heart.
Don't blame him for thinking too much, [Huisi Ming] often plays an indispensable role in events involving the elves.
Another thing that puzzles Xia En is...
This [Seed of Corruption] can be disguised as a plant-like appearance in the [City of Giant Trees].
Even the description on the panel has been affected.
Why did your original shape appear as soon as you left the sea?
When Xia En was seriously thinking about these questions.
The next moment.
[Seed of Corruption] suddenly erupted into a burst of painful, baby-like screams.
Immediately afterwards, the flesh buds and tentacles began to dance wildly.
But it didn’t look like an attack, but more like a creature struggling when it was about to die!
When the miserable struggle reached its limit, this flesh and blood seed finally began to collapse.
More and more pus flows out of the [Corruption Seed], and the granulation is rapidly losing activity.
Less than a minute.
[Seed of Corruption] collapsed and disintegrated into a puddle of dark green slime, and the weird screaming stopped.
Xia En frowned and murmured: "This is..."
"Some kind of self-destruct mechanism was triggered?"
"The reason was leaving [City of Giant Woods]?"
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his mind.
"Is there a possibility that the disguise of [Seed of Corruption] is actually related to the domain that encompasses the entire [City of Giant Trees]?"
Xia En had felt strange before.
[City of Giant Trees] This area does not seem to have anything special except for its wide range and the home advantage of occupying the forest.
Not to mention compared to Xia En's [Great Dark Sky], even the realms of ordinary mystics are more subtle and magical than this.
This seems inconsistent with the extremely high status of [Giant Wood God].
But now I think about it.
If this realm is related to the [Seed of Corruption] given by the [Giant Wood God], then everything has a reasonable explanation.
It is precisely because of this layer of disguise that the tree people will accept the [Seed of Corruption] without much precaution.
Otherwise, just seeing this deformed sarcoma would be enough to scare away a large number of tree people.
Although the tree people also long for a living body, they want to live longer.
But seeing this ugly piece of meat, anyone would notice something was wrong, right?
"Wait..."
Thinking along this line of thinking, Xia En couldn't help but have a more terrifying guess.
“What if this disguised illusion does not only act on [Seed of Corruption]?”
In [City of Giant Woods], he clearly saw the use of [ The tree people of "Seed of Corruption" have a stronger and more vivid body than the old guard.
The trunks are tall and straight, the leaves are lush and green, and they are full of fresh vitality.
And now, [Seed of Corruption] has been proven to be not a good thing.
What will be the real appearance of those tree people who accepted it?
Xia En didn’t dare to think any further.
“Dong dong dong!”
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Then, Joey hurriedly opened the door and broke in.
"Mr. Captain, are you okay?"
Seeing that Shane was safe and sound, Joey breathed a sigh of relief and explained.
“I just heard screams coming from the captain’s cabin, and then...”
“Huh, I told you, nothing will happen to the captain! "
Behind her, Xian Ge said confidently: "This is on our own ship... Wow! What does this smell like?"
Xian Ge's proud request for credit was interrupted by itself.
The sense of smell of dragons is much sharper than that of humans. This stench with a rotten smell came to the nostrils, and it was smelly all at once.
“Besides, it’s such a disgusting smell!”
Xian Ge whispered: “I must have smelled it somewhere!”
Xia En’s eyes first looked at Qiao Yi Hexiange glanced behind him and found that not only the two of them were here, but An, Fei Ya, and Yan Yan were also present.
Even the ghost lady Vivian, who was always snoozing, was quietly watching from the side.
Xia En couldn't help but feel a little warmth in his heart and said.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. The scream just now was caused by this thing."
As he said that, he pointed at the puddle of mucus on the ground, and then looked at the disgusted look on his face. string song.
“Xian Ge, have you heard of the existence of [Seed of Corruption]?”
As a seemingly reborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge has always had some remaining ancient memories.
Moreover, these memories are still being revived as it grows.
Maybe you will know the origin of [Seed of Corruption].
"[Seed of Corruption]?"
Xian Ge touched his chin and said uncertainly.
"I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Its effect should be to permanently parasitize the target creature, continuously absorbing the life and soul of the parasitized person, and in the process Continuously assimilate the parasitized person. "
"However, due to the effect of assimilation, the parasitized person not only does not notice his own abnormalities, but also feels that he is becoming stronger. "
Although Xian Ge usually looks unreliable, when he gets serious, what he says is still quite credible.
Xian Ge continued to think: "It's like the kind of special medicine that is used to kill people."
"At the expense of stimulating the potential of life, we gain superficial reflection. When the potential is exhausted, we will lose our lives."
Xia En's thoughts flashed.
Xian Ge’s statement is exactly in line with the current situation of the tree people in [City of Giant Trees].
This alone is enough to show that the [Giant Wood God] has bad intentions. That was definitely not a kind god who selflessly gave gifts to save the tree people.
Rather, he is an evil god who will do whatever it takes for his own selfish reasons.
In fact, even the name [Giant Wood God] may be fictitious!
Now the question is.
Is [City of Giant Trees] the same as [Seed of Corruption], with illusions that confuse perception?
In line with the idea of making the best use of everything, Xia En asked Xian Ge and Joey.
"Do you know any magic that can see through illusions or illusions?"
Xiange grinned and said proudly: "Captain, you are right about asking this question!"
"I After I advanced a few days ago, I went through the magic notebook again and learned a few new spells."
"One of them is a magic that can break through illusions, called [Eye of True Sight]. ”
During this period, [Laila’s Magic Notes] have been stored in Xiange’s room.
It's not that Xia En doesn't want to read this magic book, but that after returning from the history of [Emerald Ancient City], he forgot the Elvish language he once learned.
It was as if the pronunciation of Elvish was instantly ripped out of his mind.
Not only him, Yan Yan and Tracy also forgot Elvish.
It was only then that Xia En understood why the (temporary) suffix on the panel came from.
Obviously, the scope of influence of the [Aphasia Curse] was larger than he expected.
As for why Xian Ge can still master a certain amount of Elvish, Xia En still hasn't figured it out yet.
But no matter what, Xian Ge is the only crew member on the ship who can decipher [Laila's Magic Notes], so Xia En naturally handed over this note to it for study.
Now it seems that it is of great use.
But...
Xia En encountered an illusion in the [City of Giant Trees] related to elves.
It just so happens that [Laila's Magic Notes] contains the magic to break through illusions...
Is there any connection between the two?
Xia En thought for a while, and finally smiled and shook his head.
It should be just a simple coincidence!
Later, Xia En asked Xian Ge about how to use the [Eye of True Vision], wanting to learn it directly.
But in this regard, Xian Ge said: "Captain, you probably won't be able to learn this magic, because it must be activated in Elvish language."
"Does it have to be in Elvish language..."
Xia En frowned slightly.
He didn’t think Xian Ge would lie to people about such a trivial matter.
After experiencing the history of [Emerald Island], Shane also clearly understands the mystery of Elvish language.
This language itself contains mysterious and extraordinary secret power.
The reason why some magic in ancient times was lost is because of the death of Elvish language.
Right now, the only one on the ship who can speak Elvish is Xian Ge.
Should Xian Ge be taken to [City of Giant Trees] to have a look?
In terms of water quality, Xian Ge is actually no weaker than the other crew members on the ship, and is even in the strongest category.
According to legend, the oldest ancient dragons come from the deep sea, and they naturally have the power to control the ocean.
Although Xian Ge is not the oldest dragon, there is no problem at all when he can dive into the sea and move normally.
Xian Ge seemed to have noticed Xia En's hesitation, and his eyes lit up.
"Captain, do you want to take me to the sea?"
"Okay, okay, I have long wanted to explore the sea! How can I not take the glory of the great bronze dragon? What about swaying to the bottom of the sea? ”
Xia En's mouth twitched when he heard this.
This is no joke!
Are you going on an outing as a child?
Dangers abound in the deep sea, and this [City of Giant Woods] is even more undercurrent.
If Xia En didn't have the ability to [Deep Sea Snorkeling], he would definitely not dare to take the risk and go to the [City of Giant Woods] to commit suicide.
Even if Xian Ge breaks through the third level, with Gu Long's innate ability, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth level strong man.
In [City of Giant Trees], there is still not enough to see.
Judgment based on Xia En’s experience fighting against the tree people.
The single combat power of each ordinary tree man is about level three, but there are too many of them, and they have a home field advantage.
Once the war begins, we will face an endless "sea of trees."
Not to mention, there will definitely be powerful people among the tree people.
Xia En's [Projection Body] will not die. Even if he is forced into a desperate situation, he can come back the next day.
But if you bring Xiange with you, you have to worry about its safety at all times.
"Captain, what are you thinking about?"
Xian Ge seemed to see Xia En's thoughts and said, "I am not thinking about going to the bottom of the sea to take risks."
< br>
"Why don't we just take a look down from the surface of the sea?"
Xian Ge said this, but actually he still had some thoughts about exploring the deep sea.
If you insist on saying so, this should be considered its nature.
Whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, it will feel particularly enjoyable.
Hearing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade and said, "Then let's go to the sea now and have a look."
Anyway, it’s just in the shallow sea, so there shouldn’t be any problem if you keep a distance from the [City of Giant Woods].
Xia En warned again: "However, you'd better make some disguise and don't go into the sea in the form of an ancient dragon."
Creatures such as ancient dragons should be the same as elves. The seven seas are extinct.
The identity of the [Giant Wood God] is unknown now, so it’s better to be cautious.
Xian Ge attached great importance to this long-awaited trip to the sea and was looking forward to it, nodding hurriedly.
"No problem, Captain!"
Not long after.
Xia En changed into light clothes and came to the deck.
It’s a bit funny to say that he has been a captain for so long, but his personal experience of going to sea is actually very few, so it feels quite novel.
At this time, a petite figure walked up to Xia En.
She has two bronze dragon horns like sheep's horns, some bronze scales on her skin, and a dragon tail behind her.
Her hair is metallic cyan, with a smooth and soft texture.
The outline of the facial features is extremely beautiful, as delicate as a porcelain doll.
The only problem is.
She looked only seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat on her cheeks. She was still a little girl.
Xia En was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"
"Captain! You don't even recognize me!"
The young dragon girl raised her chest: "Hmph, I am The great bronze dragon..."
"Stop, stop, stop..."
Hearing her soft voice, Xia En still didn't recognize her identity, but he couldn't help but wonder. .
"Xian Ge, how did you become like this?"
Xian Ge said confidently: "This is my mimicry magic. Didn't you, the captain, ask me to disguise it?"
Xia En also said I really remembered the new abilities that Xian Ge gained after being promoted.
However, now is not the time to care about this.
After he marveled for a moment, he jumped into the sea with Xian Ge.
