Chapter 240, Unlocking
As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, the soil under the bush began to shake suddenly.
Not the entire hillside was shaking, only the bottom of this piece of soil, like a machine constantly turning under the land, and at the same time, the entire overburden that Xiao Yan saw began to shine continuously.
"It's a circle!"
Calristo whispered, she quickly took a step forward, walked between Xiao Yan and Laikaon, closed her eyes, and began to perceive the changes in the energy around her further.
The soil began to churn, as if there was a huge python moving through the ground, and as the "python" moved, the surging soil connected a point of light with a shiny light. Then, like melted cream, these points of light flowed and filled all the ravines in the soil, until the whole light outlined one eerie symbol after another.
"They must plant bushes above the circle, or they won't be able to hide the glow when the circle is lit!"
"And only this kind of perennial low bush, neither coniferous nor farmland," said Leikaon in a low voice. ”
Xiao Yan glanced left and right, and the strange symbols that began to appear gradually began to swim with the "python" underground, and more symbols appeared from the bushes that Xiao Yan had not yet cut down, and after rotating around Xiao Yan for a while, they submerged into the bushes on the other side again.
"Do you know what that is?"
Calristo opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "I can feel that my two merging skills are resonating with this circle, and I can be sure that this is the demon's circle." But it is impossible to feel the specific situation. ”
"Broken. Destroy. Oh, and the magic words, I can only understand these few magic patterns, this is a devastating magic circle? ”
Calristo shook his head slightly, and said: "The destructive circle will often change the surrounding environment, along with the bushes above, and eventually become a one-time magic circle, I think the life of creating this passage will not cost a lot of manpower and material resources." Just to create such a one-time circle. ”
"What's that?"
Laikaon suddenly said that in the Fang Xiangshang he was pointing at, a monster that resembled a human body and was covered in blood was slowly crawling to the location where Xiao Yan had found the scorched black passage before. There, the monster glanced blankly upward, seemingly not caring at all about their existence, but continued to move forward, only staggering one step, and the monster walked into the bushes without knowing the pain.
It was only at this time that Xiao Yan found out. It's not just the magic patterns on the circle that are spinning, but even the bushes are spinning on each other at different levels. When the monster walked into this bush. Quickly cut by these swirling bushes, in less than a minute, they were completely cut into pieces by the bushes and scattered. One of the bushes pierced the monster's eyeball, and as the bushes swirled, the bush moved quickly with the eyeball.
The lifeless eyeballs were extremely pale, and as the bush moved, the eyeballs fluttered slightly, and more pus flowed out of the wound on the eyeball, flowing down the bush to the ground. When the eyeballs moved to Xiao Yan's side, they were already extremely dry. If you don't look closely, you can't imagine that this yellow, like the skin of a tree, was once an eyeball.
"The Flesh Mill, this is the Flesh Mill."
Lycaon suddenly said that more and more humanoid monsters had climbed up in the direction that the monster had come from. Like the monsters before them, they had no interest in Xiao Yan not far away, and just walked into the bush in a daze, and then were torn to pieces in a matter of minutes. A large amount of blood and pus was pouring up along the charred black passage that Xiao Yan saw, violating the laws of physics, and constantly flowing into the bottomless tunnel.
Needless to say, the question before Xiao Yan, the scorched black channel weishenme has no beginning and no end, has now been answered. The beginning of the passage was at the edge of the bushes, not a creacy crawling past, but a conduit for transporting flesh. Because these mutated beings already contain mutated viruses in their bodies, this pipeline shows signs of compound toxins.
As for the fact that the whole bush is free of insects but can ensure that the soil does not harden, it has now been answered, as the circle rotates itself, this piece of soil will continue to turn, and it will show the freshest soil state. It's not a human turn, but it's no different from a human turn.
What is obviously different from the rotation of this kind of circle is that no matter how these circles rotate and how the ground vibrates slightly, the sound emitted by the entire circle except for those bright magic patterns is very subtle, so subtle that it can be completely drowned out by the sound of the wind.
If it was nighttime and the light of the magic pattern was obscured by the bushes, even if the magic circle was activated in this place, it would not be detected by the defenders patrolling the Great Wall above the mountaintop, thus ensuring absolute concealment.
Just when Xiao Yan made a rough estimate of such a magic circle, and deduced that this magic circle should have been operating regularly in the recent period to keep the soil moist enough and the bushes to grow enough, the anomaly on the ground diverted his attention.
With this continuous watering, the pit was glittering slightly, and the red glow was constantly beating, and it seemed as if the pit was alive. In other words, there is a huge living creature in the ground, which is constantly devouring the blood and slowly growing, and this pit is the mouth of this living creature.
Looking at the monsters that spread under the mountain, Xiao Yan suddenly felt that the pit under his feet seemed to have undergone some changes, he was stunned for a moment, stared at the pit again, and then raised his head in surprise and looked at Laikaon.
Laikaon, who was also looking at this hole, also looked up at Xiao Yan, the two of them did not speak, but their eyes had already exchanged everything: this hole was growing and slowly getting bigger.
"I don't know how the rhizome of Ygtrasil grows and changes, but I can at least be sure that the demon's dragon veins grow and spread through this way of devouring flesh and blood. Palin, you're right, this passage definitely has a connection to demons, and probably the only connection in the vicinity. That's why that Luo will let us come to a certain village chief here, is it the village chief? ”
Xiao Yan nodded slightly and said, "No matter which tunzi it is, it may have been infected, and this hole devours flesh and blood through these infections. So, the smell of corpses you felt before should be food for this hole. ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Yan said: "According to the worst considerations, this magic circle is not an artificial magic circle, but this demon dragon vein is slowly depicted after it grows on its own. As for the mulch, it is also not artificial, but in the process of constantly devouring flesh and blood, it becomes completely different from the surrounding soil. ”
After a pause, Xiao Yan continued: "This is the worst consideration, because the result of this consideration is that the magic circle can grow and repair on its own, and the demons don't need to do anything with their dragon veins at all, just wait for the rhizome of this dragon vein to appear on the ground." This rhizome will slowly grow on its own by preying on the flesh around it, until it becomes a channel through which demons can roam freely. ”
"It will take a lot of time, but you see, the last thing a demon cares about is time."
Speaking of this, Xiao Yan raised his head, looked at the two of them and said, "If this is the case, it will mean that the Shijie Tree will not be able to compete with the demon's dragon vein in the end, no matter how we cut off the demon's dragon vein or suppress these pipes, the demon's dragon vein will always appear in places we can't imagine, causing danger." ”
After thinking about it, Xiao Yan said with some worry: "Not only that, but the situation of the trial shijie will also appear in the real shijie, have you ever thought about what kind of situation it will be like if this kind of demon rhizome appears in the real shijie?" ”
Calristo smiled, shook his head, and said, "No, Yggdrasil is able to defeat the rhizomes of these demons. If in reality, Yuctrashil would notify the Awakened when we didn't know it, and uproot the rhizome at the same time as each demon rhizome appeared, instead of waiting for the demon rhizome to grow enough to threaten Yuktrasil. What we need to do now is to know the existence of these demon rhizomes in advance, and learn how to identify them and solve them, perhaps, this is also one of the tests that the Shijie Tree will test us. ”
Staring at the hole in the ground that was still glowing red, Karisto continued, "Alright, don't worry about that, you just need to know that after the Awoken and Yggdrasil re-establish a monitoring network all over the world, unless there is a demonic movement in any corner of the earth in those very remote places, it will cause Yuktrasil to be alert and react in time. ”
Xiao Yan nodded, let out a long breath, and said, "Okay, then we need to discuss how to solve this rhizome." ”
"It's impossible for you to quietly solve this rhizome, Parin, look at the Great Wall behind you, where something has been discovered. We're the key, you know, we've unlocked this circle ahead of time, so that it can appear when it's least supposed to be. However, at the same time that the circle is exposed, we will also be discovered. ”
Laikaon clicked his neck for a moment, re-grasped the double-edged axe in his hand, and said, "So, don't worry about anything, just do it, the more you worry, the narrower your path will be." (To be continued......)
