Chapter 80: Life
Cleo still stared at the huge plant in the distance, introducing the fruit of life that he knew.
Ethan realized that the so-called fruit of life looked like a small person holding the fruit, and the little person holding it up below was really just looking like it, with a faint outline of a person.
But the figure in front of me is already very clear, and anyone who sees it knows that it is a plant, and will describe it as a 'human-like plant', with a head and torso, but the legs seem to be together, and it is more like a normal plant rooted in the ground.
"I wonder if it's a delusion?"
After quietly observing for a while, Ethan always felt as if he was being targeted by something.
"That thing, like it's looking at us?"
Logan and Cleo stared at each other for a long time, but they didn't notice any reaction to the strange plant, but they couldn't ignore Ethan's judgment, so they had to be more cautious and stare at the thing in the distance.
"What do we do now?"
They wanted to explore the island and see what it had to offer, and now that they had found it, the core of the island was clearly the plant?
"Let's see what this thing is. ”
After quietly observing for a while, nothing strange happened, and there would be sensory interference and some energy attacks on the ground, and after arriving here, Ethan found that the sensory interference was gone, and the energy of the amulet no longer continued to decline, this discovery allowed him to observe quietly on the side, instead of rushing to the front of the plant.
Keeping his vigilance, getting closer and closer, Ethan didn't think that he could relax without that weird distraction, and maybe face an even more terrifying threat.
Regardless of whether this thing is the fruit of life as Cleo said, even if it is, what if it is? It has grown to such a huge size either that the fruit of life itself has abilities that no one understands, or that there is some strange mutation, and any of them bring an unknown threat, so it is not wrong to be careful.
It was precisely because of their caution that they dodged the first sudden attack.
"Jump back!"
Time was of the essence and could not even remind everyone where the threat was coming from, so Ethan directly gave a solution.
Several people, including Cleo, jumped backwards with all their strength the moment they heard Ethan's instructions, and almost at the same moment as they left the ground, several sharp vines broke through the ground, almost stabbing straight upwards against several people.
"Keep going backwards!"
After landing, he didn't stay, still dodging backwards according to Ethan's instructions, and once again successfully dodged another attack.
"To the right!"
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would always dodge backwards, but this time Ethan suddenly asked everyone to the right, fortunately, several people were very quick to react, and no one was injured by the vines that suddenly changed their attack patterns because they couldn't react.
Looking at the thick vines that broke through the soil and did not continue to move straight forward, but instead drew an arc, like an arched bridge and plunged into the soil again, Cleo only felt that some cold sweat seemed to break out on his forehead, and the way these plants attacked revealed a certain amount of wisdom, and the previous two attacks seemed to be deliberately set up, for this time.
"This thing has intelligence?"
It's not just Cleo who can see this, but of course Rogan with rich combat experience can also see it, but Ethan can't answer them now, he is carefully feeling all energy fluctuations and predicting the next attack.
But after waiting for a while, I found that the biggest energy fluctuations were on that plant.
It seems that he understands that this method will not work for us, and is ready to change to more powerful tricks. ”
It didn't seem appropriate to use it now, Ethan found that the plant that 'looked' like a human actually opened his eyes, and the green pupils exuded a look of wisdom, clearly telling everyone present that this was a life form with intelligence.
"Humans, you are watching life!"
Ethan noticed that this passage was not issued through the other party's mouth, but directly sounded in everyone's minds, and he was using his spiritual power to create a spiritual link and send the information directly to everyone's brain.
This is not a good sign, which means that this thing has extremely strong mental abilities, and considering the various mental disturbances on this island before, perhaps it was a wrong choice to bring a companion to fight this being.
He took out all the amulets in his hand and gave them to Logan and Cleo, and he wanted to make sure that his teammates would not suddenly launch a deadly attack on him during the battle.
As for himself, even if he didn't have an amulet, he had the means to defend against psychic attacks, but this method was not as convenient as the amulet.
Taking out the Book of Inheritance, Ethan unfolded the book, and as Ethan possessed his own magic power, the speed of building a magic array became much faster, and he completed a defensive magic array almost instantly, and applied it to himself.
Logan and Cleo only saw Ethan take out a heavy book, and the pages of the book kept showing complex patterns, and finally condensed into a very beautiful and complex blue energy body with disc makeup, which then expanded and rose to the top of Ethan's head, and then slowly fell.
When the disc fell, a circle of mysterious characters lingered around Ethan's head, and the characters connected into a ring-like band of light, floating on Ethan's forehead, slowly turning.
The consummation with a beautiful brilliance did not disappear but continued to fall downward, finally staying on the left and right of Ethan's waist, and at the same time violently expanding outward, just like the band of light on his head, turning into a circle full of mysterious symbols, and the one on his head, turning relatively slowly clockwise and counterclockwise respectively.
"Very beautiful tricks. ”
Logan commented on this, he could see that it should be a defensive type of magic, considering the previous situation, he guessed that it was Ethan to avoid his mental power being attacked.
This is a good thing for everyone, as long as Ethan can keep it safe, even if they are controlled by this guy who doesn't know how to describe it, they have a chance to get out of this situation.
After Ethan added a defense to himself, he did not put away the Book of Inheritance, but continued to build a new magic array, this time the magic was much more complicated, and the magic power mobilized was more, he mobilized all the magic power that he had been reluctant to use, and as he cast the spell, the wrist and ankle positions flashed with the brilliance of magic power.
"Ready?"
Ethan, who closed the Book of Inheritance again, nodded, he was ready for battle, but his left hand was still holding the Book of Inheritance, and his right hand also took out the magic wand, and the gem on the top of the staff shone with dazzling light, which was a sign that the energy in it had been fully activated, and Ethan at this time could immediately launch a very powerful energy attack as long as he wanted to.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. ”
Ethan really has no potential physically, but he still remembers that his biggest reliance is not on this ordinary body, and under the premise of having magic, many of his weaknesses can be covered up or even compensated.
"What now?"
"Try to have a conversation first?"
The other party launched a direct attack before, but he didn't say that he would talk to him or anything first, Ethan didn't think that dialogue would solve the problem, but he wanted to know what this guy was, and he didn't know if he would get an answer?
"What the hell are you?"
The plant-like lifeform actually gave the answer, but the answer was a bit inexplicable.
"I am life. ”
Life?
Logan and Cleo looked at each other, neither of them quite understanding what they meant. Only Ethan had a vague suspicion that this guy was actually evolved or mutated from the fruit of life, and maybe there was some other special factor.
I don't know if it was my overly active mental fluctuations that attracted this guy, Life deliberately glanced at Ethan. Almost at the same time, Ethan felt a wave of energy that wanted to invade his brain, and was blocked by his own defensive magic, and the speed of the rotation of the magic light suspended on his forehead instantly accelerated, and then slowly returned to normal.
The strange life form called Life didn't react aggressively after it didn't succeed, but what he said next made everyone nervous again.
"Humans, as a reward for coming here, you will be transformed into real life. ”
As soon as these words sounded in my head, the bare ground of the cave grew a variety of plants at a rate visible to the naked eye, most of which had buds and opened at an extremely fast rate.
This originally unremarkable cave has been transformed into a beautiful garden in a short period of time, and the rich aroma of flowers and plants fills the entire cave.
"Fack!
Ethan has been wearing a magic suit, his hood itself has a certain effect of isolating poison gas, and Cleo next to him is also in a similar situation, Ethan noticed that his face showed a little ripple of energy under the attack of poison gas, it seems that the protection of the armor is very comprehensive, and the head that looks like there is no protection is actually protected by an energy layer, it seems that he was able to breathe normally underwater with this energy barrier before.
Only nothing was worn, and Logan, who had previously entered here with the underwater breathing magic cast by Ethan, suffered a loss.
The self-healing factor in his body kept fighting against the fragrance of flowers full of toxins, and although he felt very uncomfortable, he did not collapse because of it. As for being poisoned directly, that's not an easy thing for Wolverine.
This self-proclaimed life thing unleashed a big move, and found that the three people in the field were all standing in place, only Logan coughed from time to time, barely giving him some face.
Even this reaction disappeared completely after drinking a small bottle.
