Chapter 36: Mutation
Five minutes ago.
Acorn struggled twice, and found that his huge body was stuck in the soft soil and couldn't pull it out, so he simply gave up.
Let me find that little bastard, and I will teach him a hard lesson!
Acorn thought as he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
This is......
This is the best taproot that I developed at the beginning!
It vaguely remembered that it was just an ordinary acacia tree at that time, with a long, beautiful root, buried deep in the ground, and it could grab a lot of magic every day, and over time, it grew stronger and stronger. However, it didn't take long for the little skeleton to find itself, and at the same time it was renovated, pulling it out, saying that "if it continues like this, you will find the treasure underground".
Now that the old thing is back to itself, how can it not be excited? Hurriedly make the most sincere call to it.
It didn't take long for it to receive a response from the old thing, but it seemed to break in two? How can this work? That's the most precious treasure of acorns!
After the body returned to wholeness, the acorn felt a wave of relief, as if there was an urge brewing inside.
Since a long time ago the little skeleton said that it was possible to find a treasure underground, what about now? This all-too-familiar taproot is back, so can you try to explore it further?
Thinking like this, the acorn increased the output of mana, and a steady stream of wood-based magic gathered from all parts of the body, concentrated on the taproot in the middle, and its surface suddenly bloomed with a dazzling turquoise light, and Gustavo quickly closed his eyes.
After a "bang", the patriarch felt the light in front of him disappear, but the rich wood element in the air made him feel as comfortable as returning to his mother's warm embrace.
He suddenly remembered the voice that sounded in his mind like a mother's whisper before everyone came to the Wind Firmament......
"Is this the Imotru?"
He couldn't help but reach out and try to communicate with the tree again.
β¦β¦
The acorn has never felt so full of strength, as if the elements that have been accumulated for so many years have an outlet, this taproot can be stretched indefinitely, no matter what lies under the soil, it cannot stop its progress in the slightest, and the layers of thick earth are like paper paste.
Finally, the tendrils seemed to be pierced to the end, and in this battle between shield and spear, the shield was pierced, and what it felt had been holding back itself disappeared, and with it came a majestic energy, an element of purity that was incredibly strong, recalling the most primitive, gentle, and mellow breath when it was still a seed.
The taproot is squeezed into the high-purity magic crystal ore, like a straw inserted under the surface of the drink, and a steady stream of energy is sucked up by it.
The acorn let out a comfortable moan.
"Ahh
At this moment, before this moan, it seemed to hear someone whispering in its ear......
β¦β¦
seconds ago.
Gustavo put his hand on it, hesitated for a long time, and finally quietly shouted.
"Mom?"
Almost at the same time, there was a long answer from the other party.
"Ahh
"Hold the grassβ"
The patriarch hurriedly withdrew his hand like a child who had done something wrong, covered his mouth and sat on the ground with a complicated expression.
He's like a little kid at a loss.
"What to do, this thing is really Imotru, I called it and it agreed...... But...... But I just tripped over it with a big dog...... What's the matter? β
"Wait...... What if it's a delusion? Like what...... This tree is also a branch of the real 'Imotru', so am I not a brother to it? Isn't it taking advantage of me? β
Gustavo thought for ten seconds before deciding to talk to him again and ask for clarification.
However, this time, the moment he put his hand on the root of the tree, the whole world suddenly brightened, and a strange shock poured into his brain, making him faint as if he had been hit hard.
-----------------
Twenty minutes ago.
Seeing Amacer leave, Mu Yan pouted helplessly.
The information he wanted to set was set, but it seemed that he had also lost the opportunity to make friends with the future Silver Sword Saint.
But with that came more confusion.
Leaving aside the words that Amacer gave himself, the story itself is full of numerous slots and loopholes.
Let's assume that the Glazer is so non-clingy, and it only took one year to catch up with the eldest lady of the Nightwhispering family, that is, Idriel's mother, and make her fall in love with herself.
To sum it up, he managed to get the enemy to conceive his own child, and he was not found out. As if there was nothing wrong with saying this, from Jialan's point of view, the elves, especially the Nightwhispering family, were indeed their enemies (the pigeon release incident in 57 A.D.).
However, there is one thing that the storyteller may not know.
Glazer, is a Morning Star.
He is a complete Morning Star person, born in Morning Star, childhood in Morning Star, enlightenment education is also carried out in Morning Star's Mage Association, and later after the talent is fully displayed, he went to the Jialan Empire for further study, and during the period, he was also subjected to the countless eyes of the self-proclaimed Jialan people of "Higher Civilization", this experience is written into a novel is a perfect "don't bully the young and poor" royal road plot.
Therefore, with his homeland in mind, he built dozens of one-way portals to the major cities of the Morning Star on the second basement floor of the "Ember" of the Mage Tower.
At the beginning of the Twilight Age, not long after the Wish of Light was established, the Elemental Tower did not know how to reach an agreement with Glazer to rent his teleportation array to serve the warriors (players), so that during that time, the Ember Tower was full of people, and it was more lively than the vegetable market. Countless players teleported here from the Wish of Light, and back to the Morning Star, leaving a large expense.
If it weren't for Jialan's ignorance of Morning Star at that time, Mu Yan wouldn't have saved up for so long to have a chance to go to the Wind Firmament. If he could also go to the Ember Tower and teleport to the Wish of Light, that would be enough money for him to hire a level 60 team of five or more to escort him from Kansa to Imotru.
Perhaps because of the deep friendship between Glazer and Reslin, and the typicality of their story, the legendary mage was mistaken for a Jialanren in the eyes of many (most players don't figure this out either). But in fact, it was impossible for him to have any prejudice against elves, especially the people of the Night Whispering family, like the orthodox Jialan.
Besides, after more than a hundred years, I went back to kill my daughter and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then I just married my teacher's daughter...... It takes a screenwriter to come up with this kind of story. Not to mention that at that time, it had been more than a hundred years since he entered the legend, and the Council of Six almost casually entered, and he was angry about his friendship with Leslin, and the Council of Six would stop him?
As for the need for resources to renovate the Mage Tower, Mu Yan dared to guarantee that as long as Glazer released his words, the three empires would definitely line up to follow him behind his ass to deliver materials, and he was afraid that he would not accept it, this kind of person would need to take such a big risk to come to Silver Moon City to kill the female preaching, and then flee in a hurry?
Filming soap operas is this.
But he didn't dare to say these words, because the other party had already buttoned down a hat, "Mr. Human, who knows everything", "has been living comfortably in the surprised eyes of others", etc., he said that he was not a person inside and out, in the other party's original words, "If you have already labeled, why bother to be lucky". So he simply didn't say it, if this series of events belonged to the normal historical process, the other party would understand sooner or later, otherwise there would be no "Alone in Jialan" incident that attracted countless fans for him.
As he pondered, a dull explosion was heard in the distance.
"Anyone else?"
The explosion came from the opposite direction of Amacer's departure, and it was clear that there was someone else. According to the impression in his mind, he deftly shuttled through the intricate labyrinth.
"Huh?"
One wrong step, strayed into a dead end, and a strong wind suddenly hit you.
But Mu Yan has also experienced a lot of battles, although he is still not good at street fighting, but his reaction has been practiced, and he subconsciously flashed twice and passed by the other party.
When he distanced himself, he realized that the enemy was actually a wormman.
A slender jasper body, a bladed arm with a cold light, and a crystal red compound eye.
This is probably a praying mantis man? But why is there such a thing?
As soon as the blow missed, the mantis man's knee bounced straight over, the speed was fast, and the sharp knife light flashed.
Mu Yan waved his staff, and a wall of ice suddenly appeared. The other party didn't have time to dodge, so he bumped into it head-on.
With a "bang", the blade arm of the mantis man was embedded more than ten centimeters, which could pierce the ice wall.
"Such a powerful ......"
Mu Yan resisted the urge to try to dodge away, and then the other party lingered for a short time, and three ice walls surrounded him.
The mantis man raised his arms upwards with all his might, almost breaking free from the control of the "mage's hand", and between the two of them, there was a "click", and a crack appeared in the ice wall, splashing a pile of ice slag.
A comical thought suddenly popped into his mind, and in an instant, his wand was in his hands, and his left hand was attached to the ice wall, and the endless magic continued to repair the ice wall. The mantis man was confined to it, and then a soft, sharp stone pillar suddenly rose from the ground, and it twisted and dodged as if it were an unknown prophet.
"Isn't it?"
Mu Yan was stunned for a moment, and the other party screamed strangely, completely shattered the ice wall, stepped on the surrounding obstacles, jumped high, and attacked from top to bottom.
"Boom!"
At the critical moment, the flying ice slag reminded him of the "Ice Crystal Explosion", so he subconsciously manipulated the fragments to explode.
For a while, the sound of "bang" was endless, but fortunately he slipped away quickly, otherwise he would have broken his phase.
When the dust settled, the bruised mantis man fell, turned into a cloud of white light and disappeared, leaving only a hat on the ground.
"It turned out to be an elemental creature, no wonder it was forgiveness."
Mu Yan picked up the moon-white jungle hat, and Suria's face immediately appeared in his mind.
"Doesn't seem so bad?"
At this moment, the mountains shook for a while, and he was thrown into the corner of the wall by surprise, and he fell into a lot of meat.
The earthquake-like experience came and went as quickly as it came, and it seemed to last only a few seconds.
"What the hell......"
He grunted to his feet and continued on. For the next five minutes, he didn't encounter a single monster, so he figured that maybe the monster would just spawn at a dead end.
"Is this a trial? It's as ...... as a dungeon."
Mu Yan approached the explosion site while complaining, and soon, the scattered perception found an unexpected person.
Surya also sensed that someone was probing her, and hurriedly quickened her pace.
The two met around the corner and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I knew it was you!"
"You can come up too?"
Although they are spoken at the same time, the content is similar, but the emotions expressed are completely different.
"Hey! Why can't I come up?? The girl waved her little fist indignantly.
"Can you tell the difference between discrete and continuous?"
"Huh?? Does it matter? β
"Of course, the secret door will only make a judgment on discrete attacks, you either destroy it with one hit, or continue to input energy, otherwise it will be reasonably broken down and then cancel each other out."
Hearing his explanation, Surya suddenly realized.
"No wonder Tina can only find where the door is but can't open it, I can do it with just a sword."
"Tina?" Mu Yan was a little surprised. "You're with her?"
"Specifically, we were sent in together."
"It seems that the two were randomly divided." He nodded. "Do you want to hear any gossip about me?"
Hearing this, the girl was a little surprised, "Such a coincidence, I also have it here!" β
"Wait-" Mu Yan was surprised again, "can you still get words out of Tina's mouth?" β
"Of course!"
Just as Mu Yan was about to summarize the information with her, a majestic white light enveloped the entire labyrinth.
Whether it was the four people on the second floor of the labyrinth, the others trapped on the first floor, or Gustavo who was still at the root of the tree at this time, they were all caught in by this white light.
β¦β¦
Outside the labyrinth, the acorn finally came back to his senses under the impact of this energy.
What just happened? It was a little ignorant, and in a trance it seemed that many small individuals had been teleported out of their bodies, but what was the ensuing feeling of weakness, and the lost taproot also shrank back to its original size.
No matter what, it's good for the taproot to come back.
With this thought, it fell into a deep sleep again.
Meanwhile, Papyris is awakened by energy fluctuations, and he appears above Acorn's head.
"Huh? Teleported away? It's impossible, the 'Trial of Courage' will only be triggered if you reach the fourth layer smoothly, and it is impossible for everyone in that group of guys to reach the fourth layer so quickly, right? β
He muttered as he flew to the Starlight Arena.
What carelessly Piper didn't notice was that the entire Acorn tree was shortened, and the first layer sank deep into the ground. Perhaps because of the patriarch's skillful technique, the soil was loosened to that shape, but the surrounding soil was so flat that there was no flaw in it.
