Chapter 239 [Seeds of Corruption]
Along with the ugly tumor, Golisi, who was about to give Mumu the [Seed of Life], screamed.
As the "saint" chosen by the [Giant Wood God], Golisi has a special connection with the [Seed of Life].
At this time, the fear and pain perceived by the [Seed of Life] were also transmitted to it.
Hearing Golisi's scream, Nigel and the other tree people were stunned, not knowing what happened.
Mumu took this opportunity to flee without hesitation.
Nigel naturally couldn't let it escape, and roared.
"Catch it!"
Several tree people immediately surrounded it from all directions.
They were blessed by the [Seed of Life] and their vitality was extremely strong.
Whether in speed or strength, they were far superior to the withered and weak Mumu, and they were about to catch it.
Mumu couldn't help but reveal despair in his eyes.
But at this moment.
The deep darkness suddenly expanded in the sea water.
The dark shadows spread and intertwined in this underwater forest, expanding infinitely like a weaving net.
And between the interweaving shadows, countless stars of light emerged.
It made 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, shocked.
In this seemingly beautiful scene, it felt a fatal murderous intent.
It seemed that if it acted rashly, it would lose its life at any time.
"Don't move! Don't move!"
Nigel warned his companions: "Stop where you are, don't move!"
Even Nigel, the strongest among the tree people, was like this, not to mention the other tree people.
In front of this scene like a sea of stars, they felt an unprecedented fear.
If I have to say... it is the fear of the starry sky, the universe, and their own insignificance.
"Ah! [Seed of Life]..."
Suddenly at this time, a cry came from the darkness.
It was the voice of Golisi.
The tree people could not help but become more panicked, but due to Nigel's warning, no one dared to act on their own.
Fortunately, the mysterious and deep darkness around them did not last too long.
In just a moment, the deep darkness began to fade away like a tide.
Nigel looked around and found that his companions were safe and sound, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Golisi stood in place, although he was not injured, but his expression became extremely serious.
"That guy took away the [Seed of Life]!"
The [Seed of Life] that was previously located between its branches has disappeared.
Also disappeared was Mumu who was trapped in the encirclement.
"Damn! This is bad!"
The expression on Nigel's tree was very ugly.
Its original plan was to directly transform Mumu into one of them, so it would speak out those secret information without hesitation, so as to let this former friend "die" clearly.
But now, not only did Mumu escape, but a [Seed of Life] was also stolen?
If the elders above blamed it, it would be finished!
"That darkness just now... was it a domain?"
In contrast, Golisi regained his composure faster and thought: "Human! The guy who just attacked was a human!"
It knew very well that Mumu definitely did not have such strange and unpredictable means.
On the side, Nigel also quickly came to his senses and suddenly realized: "It was the human who broke in earlier!"
The commotion that Shane made not long ago was not small.
Almost half of the tree people in [Giant Wood City] were alarmed.
Connecting the two, it is not difficult for the tree people to guess the identity of the attacker.
"That guy actually stole the [Seed of Life]?"
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Nigel and Golisi both found it difficult to understand.
In fact, there has been no trace of humans in [Giant Wood City] for a long time.
-Except for humans who were forcibly dragged down to the sea by vines and sacrificed.
Explorers like those in other underwater ruins are almost non-existent in [Giant Wood City].
As the notoriety of [Giant Wood City] gradually spread, even ships like [Nuanxue] dared not easily approach this sea area, not to mention other small ships.
Besides.
People at sea go to the underwater ruins to salvage, isn't it for the heritage in the ruins?
And [Giant Wood City] is basically a primitive underwater forest, poor and white, and there are tree people who are eyeing humans.
Why do salvage ships take great risks to explore here?
Isn't it better to go to those safe and rich underwater ruins?
This is also the reason why Mumu was so excited and curious when he saw Shane.
It is for this reason that Nigel and other tree people feel extremely puzzled and confused.
Why did this human come to [Giant Wood City]?
And he also wants to interfere in the affairs of their tree people?
As for taking away the [Seed of Life], it is even more unreasonable.
[The Seed of Life] is a gift from the [Giant Tree 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 identities like Golisi can give it to other tree people.
Even if the other party is a human, it will be useless even if he gets the [Seed of Life]!
"However, that person may not be a simple human being."
Ge Lisi recalled the screaming sound made by [Seed of Life] just now, feeling both jealous and a little scared.
This was the first time it felt such a strong fear from [Seed of Life].
In other words, this is also the first time it realizes...
It turns out that [Seed of Life] is also afraid?
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Ge Lisi said to everyone.
"In any case, the current situation is beyond our capabilities."
"We will report this matter to Grandpa Fana now and let the elders decide what to do."
Ge Lisi's status in a group of tree people is comparable to the backbone.
As soon as it spoke, all 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 forest in another direction.
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" Ge Lisi, 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 Woods] and does not plan to face the final big boss directly yet.
on the other hand.
After all, Gelisi and Nigel were Mumu's friends.
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!"
Only then did Xia En stop.
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.
Moreover, 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 was not large, it also made Xia En wary.
After all, if this weakening can be continuously added up, it will be tantamount to wiping out half of his [Great Dark Sky]'s abilities!
"Wait a minute, could this be a battle between realms?"
Shane suddenly woke up.
According to the tree people, this forest is the "god's kingdom" of the [Giant Wood God].
In other words, it is the domain of [Giant Wood God].
And my own domain as 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 all he saw was a lush forest, with no end as far as the eye could see.
Such a large area was the only one he had 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 the 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 given by a righteous god, but rather like a creation of an evil god.
only……
Shane 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 didn't have firm confidence 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 an early warning.
Therefore, Xia En still believed that there was definitely something wrong with this seed.
The notes on the panel also proved his conjecture.
【▇▇seed】
[Quality: Epic]
[Type: Material]
[Description: The creation called the "Seed of Life" by the tree people has passed through the secret power of ▇▇, making it impossible to see its true face. 】
[It is said that it can make tree people rejuvenate and get rid of their original shackles. 】
[So, what’s the price? 】
For some unknown reason, like the previous [Fragment of Alienated Treeman], there are some vague handwriting on its annotation.
It's like there is a special power that covers the content of these words.
Xia En immediately paid great attention to it.
An 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 the [Seed of Life] he saw before was its true face!
"We need to take it to the ship and study it carefully."
Just when Xia En was thinking this, Mu Mu in his hand suddenly spoke.
"Benefactor, please put me down?"
Hearing this, Xia En gradually stopped and looked at the tree man who had suffered a severe blow.
"Are you... okay?"
What happened to Mu Mu just now was a bit too miserable, even from the perspective of Xia En, a bystander.
He was bullied, betrayed twice, and almost fell into evil in the end.
If it were a young boy with a weak will, he would probably be devastated.
However, looking at Mu Mu's expression, although he was still a little discouraged, his emotions were still calm, which made Xia En feel a little relieved.
"My benefactor, I'm fine."
Mumu said seriously: "Now I have to go to Grandpa Hunter and tell the other conservatives about this news."
"Otherwise, [Giant Wood City] will be completely finished."
Shaen asked: "Do the conservatives now still have the strength to fight?"
Mumu smiled bitterly: "If Uncle Fana hadn't rebelled, there should still be some chance of winning."
"But since it has turned, it means that the tree people among the executioners will also turn to the reformists."
"Now... the hope is probably very slim."
There is another sentence that Mumu didn't say to Shane.
In fact, the conservatives are not united, and many tree people have always been wavering.
And now, the rebellion of Elder Fana will undoubtedly bring about a series of chain reactions, causing some of the wavering old tree people to change their positions.
Shaen asked again: "Speaking of which, why are you always unwilling to join their side?"
"Is it because of Hunter?"
This matter actually made Shane quite curious.
Before, no matter whether Nigel and his group threatened or bribed him, Mumu had no intention of actively accepting the [Seed of Life], not even a trace of it.
Judging from Mumu's behavior, it is a bit like a young rebellious teenager.
Mumu said frankly: "Grandpa Hunter is of course one reason."
"Another reason is..."
"I heard that in fact, thousands of years ago, all of us tree people should have died in the flood."
"It was the spirit... It was the goddess who made the sacrifice, which allowed us to survive."
"Even if it's ugly, at least we are alive, right?"
Hearing this, Xia En was a little surprised.
"In short, for our clan, the goddess is actually very kind."
Mumu smiled naively: "I just think that I can't repay kindness with hatred, so I have never wanted to believe in that [Giant Wood God]."
"I see."
Xia En nodded: "Then do you know where the temple of the goddess is in this city?"
"Temple?"
Mumu looked confused and guessed: "It seems to have been blocked by the [Giant Wood God]'s men a long time ago?"
"I don't know exactly where it is."
After getting a negative answer, Xia En was not discouraged.
He didn't think he was lucky enough to find the target on the first day of [Submersible].
Afterwards, Xia En and Mumu said goodbye.
And at the moment when Xia En ended the submersible, the words on the panel changed.
The blurred "▇▇" began to dissipate, replaced by recognizable words.
[Submersible End! ]
[Obtained trophy: Corruption Seed! ]
