Chapter 1550: The Atrium!
"Are you crazy, would you believe what he says?"
"He was trying to kill us by all means!"
Upon hearing that Quill and Gamora had decided to enter the heart of the tree, Rocket looked at them as if he had seen a ghost.
"Now that Groot is still going crazy outside, we should quickly make him sober up and get out of here! ”
"I know, and I've tried!" Quill shouted as he looked at him, "I ran to him, but he just wanted to cut me into a skewer! ”
"So you're going to make peace with this war madman who destroyed the entire Colossus of Flowers, and then expect him to help us get through it?
"Rockets. Gamora grabbed the rocket raccoon who wanted to get angry: "He saved Quill's life. ”
"Saved Quill, who?" said Rocket, who came back to his senses, pointing to the weird little red room sticking out, "You don't think it's him." ”
Gamora nodded, "That's him, I saw it with my own eyes, and just as Groot was about to kill Quill, two mechanical birds flew over to help him block the attack." ”
"I know what you're worried about, we're too, Groot is our friend, but now we don't have a better way, and you've heard it, the tree still has a little bit of consciousness to communicate with us, whether it's a trap or a discovery of his conscience, we'll give it a try." ”
“...... Okay, okay. Rocket sighed, turned his head and took a small device from his back pocket and put it on the muzzle of his gun.
"If it's a trap, I'm going to cum him to pieces. ”
In the dark heart of the tree, the moment the three of Quill stepped in, the wooden thorns and thorns behind them immediately surrounded them, spreading upwards, weaving, covering, and soon, they seemed to have entered a built-in space, and they couldn't even see the light outside.
"Well, there's no way back now. ”
Rockets glanced behind him and quickly followed the two of Quill, who stopped in the red-glowing hole and cautiously poked inside.
It was a pitch-black space, and as for the heart-like thing in front of it, the strange red light came from it as Peng Peng expanded and beat, and there were countless crimson lines under it that spread around, spreading, and even climbing onto the invisible pitch-black walls.
"Thank you...... You can trust me..."
Suddenly, a dull murmur like a withered old tree appeared above everyone's heads.
Then, the entire room was lit up with a myriad of fluorescent lights.
This is similar to the center of the huge trees in the ancient tree forest, which was originally cultivated by Groot.
It is surrounded by decaying and rotten wooden walls, and countless blood-colored rattans are half-embedded in the wooden walls, like blood vessels crawling all over the body, and what 'feeds' it is the huge round wooden ball in the center.
It is said to be a wooden ball, but in fact, it is a red energy body inside, and a cracked wooden wall is wrapped around it, and every time the energy body expands, the wooden wall will be stretched open.
Blood vessels, heart.
"Where is this?"
"This is, my heart, and as a sign of sincerity and apologies, the source of my energy is right before you. ”
In the wooden wall placed on the source of energy, eyes and a mouth, no nose, no ears, strange faces suddenly appeared.
Quill and the others looked at him vigilantly: "You are ......"
"War, this is my name, the tree of sin rooted in the island of punishment for atonement. ”
"What do you want to tell us?"
"I don't know how many years...... My consciousness drifted into a trance, into darkness, on the verge of dissipating, but I still had one final mission. ”
"Defend X-...... Guardian Seed ......"
The Djinn Tree of War, bears the coming of fate in order to atone for sins.
Any non-Flower Colossus that enters the X Star will be attacked by its relentless rage.
At that time, the punishment birds that were originally used to guard the sin tree around him were controlled by him with new sprout branches, giving him air supremacy.
The entire Punishment Island is shrouded in its rhizomes, and although the limits of the Punishment Island's periphery prevent him from penetrating into the land at all, the root nature can defend the entire Punishment Island.
The incomparably powerful spiritual power allowed him to lock onto the enemy hundreds of miles away in the center of the Punishment Island, and he was using the hardest wooden thorns in his body to lock on and throw with his mental power, which was powerful enough to destroy small ships.
With a three-pronged approach, he can form a war-like offensive scale as soon as he grows a tree!
Trees die without nutrients, and strength only serves as a delay, and he does not have the power to wither, so he can only be devoured by withering.
Over the years, his consciousness gradually fell into a deep sleep, his body decayed more and more, and his body still instinctively attacked any intruder.
It's just that......
Hundreds of mechanical birds can only control no more than a hundred.
The rhizomes scattered throughout Punishment Island cannot be mobilized all at once.
The outside of the tree was rotten, so he transformed his upper body into a defensive position and a firing battery.
The three cannot be used together, they can only be controlled separately, and they move slowly like an old man in the twilight.
Quill had been like this before, either being whipped by rhizomes, chased by mechanical birds, or fired by wooden spike missiles, each with intermittent attacks.
But even so, it still forced them to choke enough, which was enough to see how strong this giant spirit tree in the name of 'war' was back then.
Groot...... There's something strange about his aura, and I've never seen a Colossus of Flowers that can wield the power of Silence, so I haven't been able to recognize it. ”
"But just now, when he approached me and burst out again, he woke me up from my slumber. ”
"That's our power, you can't be wrong!"
"I ask you to help me in my mission. ”
"Let Him Inherit the Seed ......"
The three of Quill looked at each other, and it turned out to be a crime of atonement discovered by conscience.
But
"What seed are you talking about?"
"Before the death of Master Arbor, he used his remaining life force to extend my life, and gave me the seed of life of the Colossus of Flowers. ”
As the words fell, in the 'atrium' in front of Quill and the others, the outer wooden wall suddenly fell off, revealing the beating crimson energy body inside.
Then, as if torn apart, the energy body split to both sides, and red juice spilled all over the ground, while the entire war tree trembled.
Inside, it turned out to be an oval water drop that emitted a blue-green glow.
A breath of life that was dozens of times more powerful than what they had seen in Goldfri directly filled the entire heart.
"That's what it is...... Seeds?"
Quill and the others froze for a moment, isn't this breath of life the source of life that Groot needs to find?!
