Chapter 178: The Divine Tree and the Fruit
After putting on the black robe, Tang Qi looked seriously at the planet that was descending.
His body fell like a meteor, but that didn't affect his gaze.
When it was first released, Tang Qi clearly saw that this was a "blue planet", almost half of the area was covered by the ocean, only about one-tenth of it was a continent, and it was a whole condensed, verdant and green, and showed a strong breath of life.
And at this moment, as it gradually fell, Tang Qi saw the true face of the planet.
The ocean was still blue, but beneath the surging water, there was a large amount of blood-like scarlet liquid, which continued to spread, diffusing the familiar smell of death and coldness.
A large number of lives are polluted, alienated, and parasitized.
The continent in the distance seemed to be even more serious, and even though it was still far away, Tang Qi could sense a strong cold stench.
"The god of flesh, fruit flies, and death is getting out of trouble, and the seal is loosening to cause the Star of Neelderland to be eroded?"
In the flickering of thoughts, Tang Qi, as an investigator, had already fallen into the increasingly scarlet sea.
A moment later, a "rumbling" sound suddenly sounded on the seashore where the scarlet sea water swelled from time to time, and the sea water, mixed with a large amount of polluted life, was abruptly separated.
A clean passage appeared, and a figure in a black robe walked up slowly.
Tang Qi stood on the shore, surrounded by black crabs with giant misshapen pincers, rotting octopuses full of eyeballs, and pale sharks with hands and feet and more than one head...... These creatures are crazy and aggressive.
But at this moment, they all obediently avoided Tang Qi.
Tang Qi didn't stop for long, he made a difference, and his gaze went straight to a special city looming in the distance.
It has two parts, one on the ground and the other in the air.
The ground entities appear to be full of magical mythology, with giant trees and vines everywhere, and mottled palaces.
The floating entity is a war fortress full of mechanical technology, and the dense ice turrets can be seen even from a distance.
The two completely different or even opposite creations have combined into an extremely attractive and exotic city.
And such cities can be found all over the continent.
Tang Qi had the information that an investigator should have in his mind, and at the same time, when he fell, he knew a lot of everything.
"The Neerderland civilization, although it cannot be compared with some civilizations that have produced gods in the vast mystery, they are indeed a civilization that combines magic and machinery very well. ”
"Part of the limbs of the ninth son of the Abyss Ancestral God has been sealed in the Nierderan Star for nearly 10,000 years, and there has never been any sign of getting out of trouble. ”
"But now, the unexpected has happened, and the Neerderland civilization has been eroded. ”
Thoughts flickered, and Tang Qi stepped forward.
If he wanted to, he could teleport to the nearest city.
But Tang Qi didn't do this at the moment, and the next second he appeared was in a terrifying forest that was still far away from the city.
Because Tang Qi hid all the divine aura, and even the inherent power of this body, it only appeared as an ordinary human.
In the next second, this forest full of lush ancient trees, dark and damp, and filled with the smell of blood entered a state of "stress" in the blink of an eye.
Tang Qi's eyes reflected such a scene:
The towering ancient trees that were originally normal suddenly seemed to molt, and the old and cracked bark fell off and weathered and shattered, revealing the real, wriggling flesh underneath.
The blood sausage that looks like a vine hangs down, and from the end, it is covered with fragrant "fruits".
Each fruit is like a baby curled up with its eyes closed.
"Whew"
An inexplicable wind blew, the fruit shook, and the aroma became more intense.
As far as the eye can see, it is a temptation that is difficult to resist.
Tang Qi stared at them, his face slightly solemn, and the fragments in his mind burst out.
[Transcendent Creature: Blood God Tree.] 】
[Status: Normal.] 】
[Fragment 1: The special lifeforms that only exist on Neerderland, they were born from the intact blood vessels of the "god of flesh, fruit flies, and death" were sealed on this planet, overflowing the contaminants created by the divinity for the latter. 】
[Information fragment 2: The Divine Tree grows rapidly, is secretive, and can assimilate normal tree species, and they spread throughout the entire Neerderland Star at an extremely fast speed. 】
[Information fragment 3: The fruit of the divine tree can attract any flesh and blood life, and any flesh and blood life can indeed obtain the increase of various attributes after devouring the fruit, and the more it is devoured, the more obvious the increase will be, before the demigod level, there is no limit to the number. 】
[Fragment 4: The Neerderland civilization regularly cleans up these sacred trees, and they write the "no edible fruit" into the law, and they persist for up to 10,000 years. 】
[Information fragment five: For some reason, the law is no longer valid.] 】
......
It is not difficult to judge from the fragments that these sacred trees were a means of escape from the predicament arranged by the evil god, and the Neerderland civilization persisted for 10,000 years, but ultimately failed.
Now, as civilization is showing signs of spiraling out of control, these sacred trees may have completely taken over the entire planet of Nielderland.
It seemed that because Tang Qi was unmoved, the swaying fruits suddenly broke away from the vines and fell to the ground with a bang.
"Wow"
"Wow Wow Wow"
An incomparably terrifying movement occurred, as if tens of thousands of babies were crying at the same time.
The shrill and piercing cry was filled with terrible pollution, making people feel tingling from body to soul at the same time, and they wanted to scratch and dismember, and their heads seemed to be torn apart.
If it is really an ordinary human, no, even if it is a legendary-level transcendent, it cannot completely resist pollution when it is in it.
Eventually, they will choose to give in, pick up the fruits of the ground like wild dogs, and devour them vigorously.
"Silence"
Under the black robe, Tang Qi spoke for the first time.
The cry disappeared in the blink of an eye, and all the fruits cracked at this moment, revealing a dense patch of yellow-white fly eggs inside.
The sacred tree begins to wither one by one, and the eggs hatch into adults in the blink of an eye.
Each adult, if enlarged, can drive the viewer into a frenzy.
They were small but not covered with carapace, they were directly naked with dark red flesh, with stiff hairs on them, and the eyeballs were inlaid with huge eyeballs relative to their bodies, and at the front were long spines that made people's hearts tremble, and the transparent membranous wings fanned rapidly, accelerating the spread of that terrible death pollution.
"Transcendent Beings: Blood Fruit Flies, fallen lifeforms hatched from 'Blood Fruits' that possess a variety of pollution and poison, and terrifying parasitic abilities. ”
"They can work with the sacred tree to hunt and kill all the beings within their senses as nourishment. ”
"Smack"
Tang Qi didn't have much patience for these fallen lifeforms, and didn't give them a chance to initiate parasitism.
With a snap of his fingers, the hundreds of millions of fruit flies that had just hatched and flew enough to obscure the sky were wiped out.
"So, the whole of Neelderland is already an empty shell, and all life on land has been killed. ”
"Well, there's Neildland people left struggling. ”
As he whispered, Tang Qi moved away.
Half a second later, the nearest city.
The towering city walls, which only exist in mythological epics, are majestic and huge, full of traces of erosion and war.
There should have been guards at the city gate, but when Tang Qi arrived, he saw only a pile of corpses.
Lying on the ground, both male and female, the Neelderlanders have near-perfect bodies, armor, and weapons that combine the advantages of magic and technology.
As Tang Qi can imagine, these people were excellent fighters while they were alive.
But now, they're all just mutilated corpses.
Under Tang Qi's gaze, bright red sarcomas were still puffing up everywhere in the corpse, and a hideous face first appeared on the surface of the tumor, and then shattered to reveal the familiar fly eggs inside.
As the corpses were gradually sucked dry, a "buzzing" sound sounded, and a small black cloud rose above each shriveled corpse.
Tang Qi didn't intervene again, he stepped over and entered the interior of the city.
In the next second, Tang Qi saw the apocalyptic scene:
Corpse!
Everywhere there were mutilated, shriveled corpses, stains of congealed blood, a foul smell of filth to the extreme, flying around almost obscuring the entire city.
As Tang Qi can imagine, the city called "St. Quedes" was supposed to be solemn and breathtaking.
Now, here is hell.
Living?
There are still people, and there are quite a few, but I don't know if I can call them "people" anymore.
The familiar Tree of Blood God invaded the city in every way, the wriggling trunks of sticky flesh, the blood sausage vines that seemed to be living creatures.
They grow on city walls, in the crevices of buildings, and even in the homes of residents.......
In a terrifying and thrilling way, they decorate this otherwise mythical city.
The living, no, it should be said that the living Neerderland surround these sacred trees.
Like mad dogs, they snatched the fallen fruit and devoured it, splashing the juice and swallowing all the eggs into their bellies, and immediately bulging sarcomas.
Tang Qi stared at them with a complicated gaze.
Although it was only a brief contact, Tang Qi had already understood at this time that the Neerderland civilization was a completely orderly and good camp.
Moreover, their people are rich in warriors.
Both males and females are physically powerful and perfect warriors.
Only now, they are in doom.
"Transcendent creatures: bloodfly golems, they are polluted at the soul level, their essence is irreversibly changed, and they actively become parasitic hosts of bloodfly to help spread. ”
"It was a tragedy, a tragedy that could have been avoided, but in the end it happened. ”
As the fragments of information appeared in his mind, Tang Qi seemed to enter the role of an investigator, and he had some doubts.
The Neerderland civilization can guard this place for 10,000 years, that is to say, these blood god trees and blood fruit flies actually had no way to help them before, and some special change happened to cause all this to get out of control?
