Chapter 251: Farewell
The box vanished, and a giant tree suddenly appeared in front of us.
But in fact, I don't know if that thing should be called a "tree" or not, and the word "tree" only comes from the concept that experience has given me, and this thing is just criss-crossed, with vines entangled, and the overall outline is very similar to the tree in my impression.
And the color, is blue.
On the trunk and vine, there are vein-like lines, and there seems to be some kind of liquid flowing inside, like blood.
At the center of the tree, there were faint bursts of light, as if a heartbeat.
"This ...... What's this? Yao Qianwen hid behind me.
Originally, I didn't know what this was, after all, I didn't know much about it, and I even thought that maybe after seven levels, there would be one or two levels or something. It was only then that the eggs in the wooden box in my arms, flickering with the light of the core of the tree, began to tremble and echo like breathing.
There is a certain relationship between the two.
The echo of the eggs gradually increased the frequency of the flickering light in the trunk, until the trunk cracked apart, extending countless dark blue vines and tentacles, pointing to the eggs in my arms, as if to take the eggs from my hands.
And the purpose of my trip is the same.
So, I took out the eggs, held them in both hands, and waited for the trees and vines to approach......
It's just that at this moment, Bai Wuji grabbed my wrist, "I said, brother, you ......"
"Huh?"
"Are you really going to do that?"
"Otherwise, isn't that what I'm here for?"
"That's what you say, but what happens when you put this thing on a tree?" Bai Wuji was thinking about this.
I'm thinking about it too.
From the beginning, from the moment Mina gave me this task.
I know that no matter what happens, it won't be a good thing. It might not really be good for me, for anyone else, or even for Mina herself.
I can't say the specific reason, but it's probably intuition.
In fact, Mina may not know if I have put the egg into the arms of the tree in front of me.
But what if she knew?
So, I didn't change my movements until the vines wrapped around the eggs and sent them into the trunk. The trunk of the tree is not closed, and the vines that entangle the eggs can be seen, constantly pumping the liquid that flows throughout the tree into the eggs. It's like the supply of nutrients.
"Good...... Doesn't it look like nothing happened? I watched, and it looked pretty peaceful. Yao Qianwen dragged me behind her.
"Of course it's going to be stable, it's an egg, and it will take at least time to hatch, right?" I responded.
She asked again, "Uncle, can we go?" ”
I didn't respond to the question, but looked at the wooden box in my hand, which contained some mechanical accessories in addition to the eggs it had contained.
"Bai Wuji, can I borrow something from you?"
He seemed to be still immersed in the question he had asked me, and seemed a little worried, staring at the tree until he heard my question, and then came back to his senses, "Borrow something?" What to borrow? ”
I held out two fingers, "Lend you two drops of blood." ”
He frowned, "It's okay to borrow, but you ......"
I turned my hand up, held the wooden box in the palm of my hand, extended the tentacles in my palm, tore off two pieces of wood, and polished them into two wooden bottles with stoppers.
"Oh! Uncle, you, your tentacles, have evolved again? Can it all grow out of your hands? Yao Qianwen was surprised.
I shook my head, "No, tentacles still come out of my mouth." It's just that it's too ugly, so lately I've been used to letting them break through the skin from the rest of the body, and it looks a little better. ”
"Huh?"
I handed the two wooden bottles to Bai Wuji, "One bottle and one drop, of course it doesn't matter if there is more." ”
"If you have to, you can't do it......" He bit his finger and dripped the blood into the bottle, then sealed the lid.
When I returned the wooden bottle to me, there were still some residual blood stains on the mouth of the bottle, and when I held it in my hand, my insect venom quickly lost its vitality when it came into contact with the blood. It's not devouring, it's not assimilation, it's being wiped out as soon as you get close. The possibility of evolution and adaptation to the blood of Baiwuji is almost zero, and if I drink it and keep it in my body, it probably won't be long before I am destroyed by it.
"Brother, what do you want this blood for?" Bai Wuji asked.
"Originally, I just wanted to get things delivered, and for me, it was more important to save the silent night. I don't seem to be able to control anything else, and I don't have the ability to do that. However, this time I was lucky, and I got something very useful in this secret realm. It slowly melted into my body, my memory. With this thing, I seem to be able to do something. As for your blood, it's an important prop. But in fact, one drop is enough, why two...... It must be because of my selfishness, right? Hehe. ”
With that, I split the tentacles again, cutting off several of the relatively thick branches of the tree in front of me, which seemed to be alive, and I could hear a sound like wailing and screaming from its core. It also seemed to be hostile to me, and as it closed its trunks, many rhizome-like things grew under our feet, and they continued to spread towards me.
"You two get out of here first, I'll be a little late, you guys will wait for me outside."
"How long will you wait, uncle?" Yao Qianwen asked. Fat Cat Literature Network
"It should have been ...... for a long time"
……
This time is indeed a long time.
Bai Wuji and Yao Qianwen have been waiting in the five gates, and the third door is waiting, but fortunately, with Bai Wuji, I don't need to worry about anything weird happening.
When I left the final level of the secret realm, Yao Qianwen had already become Du Youlan.
"Dude, I almost went back to see you...... What exactly did you do? Bai Wuji asked.
"Organs."
"Huh?"
Du Youlan was a little surprised, and her eyes turned to me, "Mechanism? ”
"Yes, the trap."
"I don't remember, you have a bit of that skill."
I smiled and responded, "It's actually quite a nice accident." I'm not just ordering this skill now. I know more about Mina, why Mina. also knows how much Forty-Two hates her. ”
"Oh? I don't know what you've just experienced, but your words don't seem to be very close to what Forty-Two said before. ”
"Of course, I don't understand how dare he tell me the truth. After all, I was deceived by Mina, who is more experienced than me. He won't believe me. ”
"Huh, tell me?"
I shook my head, "Don't worry, let's get out of the desert, we don't have much time." The main thing is that the food is not enough, and you and Baiwuji still need to eat and drink. ”
Now that there is only one backpack left for food, and all the camels left, it is really difficult to make it out of the desert.
However, we are also lucky, perhaps because of Baimowgli's luck, we met a team that entered the desert, and it seemed that they were also coming to the legendary secret realm. So we robbed them of their things, hijacked their men and their camels, and left the desert.
Because I absorbed the last obsession of Huangquan, I had a simple understanding of some things, not all of them, but some of the most important things, such as Mina's most likely hiding place. After leaving the desert, I was going to go to that place as soon as possible, and this time, I had to find Mina before she found me.
I just don't know if the silent night will last until the moment I find her.
Maybe she's dead now, maybe ......
I don't dare to think about it.
But before leaving, I officially said goodbye to Bai Wuji, this time it was just me and him, no Du Youlan, and no Yao Qianwen.
"Brother, don't you really need me for the quiet night thing......"
"No, didn't you say that you don't like to get yourself involved in these things? Since you have the life you want, go your own way. Your two drops of blood have been the greatest help to me. I promise you that I will send you back to Huangxia City in peace. "Next, I don't want Mowgli to continue to follow.
Speaking of which, his abilities are indeed strong, and it will be of great use against Mina. But I didn't want him to participate, if it was before, I might not have this idea, but when he failed in the last level of the secret realm, I completely gave up the original plan.
I hope he can avoid Du Youlan, because he is not Wei Heng at all.
Actually, this idea is weird to me. I think he avoided Du Youlan, which was good for him and Du Youlan, but it didn't seem to be good for me. With such a good person, maybe you will regret it later, right?
"It's okay, the children in the orphanage, I need help with the placement too...... I'll leave the matter of the quiet night to you, and I'll wait for your good news. Please. "He also has an inexplicable trust in me.
"But before we part, I'll tell you a few things." And there are some things that I have to say to him.
"Well, you say, I'll listen."
I looked Bai Wuji up and down, and smiled helplessly: "Although I keep saying that I hope you can take the path you want to take, sometimes where the road is, it is not up to people to decide." This is not the first time you have used this ability, nor is it the last. It's powerful, but at least it's not invincible. When your opponent doesn't know anything, don't give him any chance, that's your chance. ”
Bai Wuji knew what I meant this time, but he didn't seem to care about it, "I know, but I probably don't use it often, so I'll try to stay away from it in the future." ”
"Speaking of hiding, you really should be hiding from someone, she ......" I thought of Du Youlan's passive skill of changing her face, and I didn't know if it made sense to say this. simply, he put it another way, "In short, you always remember that you are Baiwuji." Even if one day, someone tells you who you were in your last life, you don't care what you did in your last life. Because whatever you do, it's none of your business. You're just Mowgli. ”
"Okay, remember...... Although I didn't understand it at all. ”
"And I think, why don't you change your name? Or don't stay in Huangxia City. ”
Bai Wuji looked at me with some doubts, and suddenly asked, "Brother, when I heard what you said, are you particularly worried that I will be found by someone?" No, what do you mean? ”
"Forget it, you didn't say it. It's not up to you, but I'll enlighten the guy who should be enlightened. Let's talk about it here, and I should go. I'll send her back when I find the silent night you know, and we should have a chance to see each other again. When the time comes, we'll talk about it. ”
This is our farewell.
And in fact, there will never be a day to talk again.
As for my words, maybe for him, it's all nonsense.
