Chapter 157: The Tree of Life?
It was a very distant era, and it was just being developed, and when the tree was first discovered, everyone was only moved by the size of the tree, which was a characteristic landscape that attracted many people to watch.
Until one day, a pioneer who was chased and dying fainted under this tree, and he thought he was dead, but when he woke up, he found that the injuries on his body had disappeared. Of course, the adventurer didn't think that it was the credit of this tree, but thought that a master secretly saved his life, and after thanking the imaginary master, the adventurer left to go back to take revenge.
The enemy's strength is one line higher than him, otherwise he has no hope of escaping, and the adventurer slashes the enemy with injuries in exchange for injuries, and after taking revenge, the adventurer returns to the edge of the tree to express his gratitude. Just when he thought that a master didn't want to see him, and when he was about to leave, he touched the big tree, and he was wrapped in a ball of light, and when the light dissipated, the injuries on his body healed.
Surprised, the adventurer decided that this big tree actually had a miraculous healing effect after some experiments. After that, this adventurer, who was not weak, enclosed this ordinary-looking tree, and then improved his strength in various ways similar to self-harm, and settled here.
In the years that followed, the adventurer's descendants became a powerful family in the neighborhood with the help of this tree, and continued to spread their branches.
After many years of peace, the tree of life, which has been unremarkable, suddenly began to bear a fruit, along with the ripening of this obviously not ordinary fruit, a strange fragrance that attracted all intelligent creatures wafted out, and overnight, creatures within a radius of hundreds of kilometers were led to this tree by this ** from the depths of the soul, and fought here, although the family that settled here evacuated in time, but also suffered heavy losses.
However, those strong people in this family are not willing to let the fruit of this tree that has guarded the family for many years fall into the hands of others, and after arranging the rest of the family, these masters also participated in this tragic battle.
Accompanied by the death of more and more creatures, more and more death sources gradually appeared around the tree, and by the time some extremely powerful creatures found out that something was wrong, it was already too late, this battlefield was wrapped in the tree, and everyone's vitality and soul began to be pulled and swallowed by the tree.
At this time, the remnants realized that this tree was not a tree of life, but slowly eroded the souls of these people with life force, and after these people died, their souls were swallowed up by the tree.
Now the tree, which has devoured a large amount of life force and soul power, has completely revealed its true face, like a flytrap, instinctively directing the dead to devour all the remaining creatures.
Perhaps by the favor of fate, among these creatures is a realm master of the Grim Reaper, who sacrificed the power of all the survivors to petrify and seal the tree, and before dying, refining all the dead again, turning into the dark shadows and skeletons that guarded the place.
Perhaps with the resentment and reluctance in his heart before he died, the Realm Keeper gave these guardians the order to kill all intruders, and left behind a refining array that automatically created black shadows, turning the corpses and souls of all intruders into the dead who guarded the place.
"And what the hell are you?" After listening to this phantom story, Cui Yubao found that the child did not say how he came to it from beginning to end.
"Me? I am the seal, the seal formed by sacrificing the souls of those people, and I gradually developed thoughts, and then I became like this. Phantom explained indifferently.
"Didn't you just say the tree was dead? What the hell are you still sealing? Cui Yubao asked puzzled.
Phantom: "I didn't say it, this tree was petrified and sealed, and it was constantly being extracted by me from its source energy and soul, and it starved to death after a long time. ”
"Starved ?!!" Cui Yubao looked at this majestic and huge tree, and then looked at the skeletons around him, and couldn't believe what he heard, a tree was actually starved to death.
"It's very simple, no matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is alive, it must have energy intake, and many undead creatures are starved to death after being sealed for a long time. Unless it's the kind of existence whose soul is immortal, and the soul of this tree is constantly devoured by this seal, so there is nothing surprising. Tu Tu looked at Cui Yubao, who looked confused, and explained enthusiastically.
"Well, as a result, I suffered so many sins, and in the end, there was only one result left." Cui Yubao was a little depressed, and Sun Daquan was even more disappointed, he thought that he could make any big discoveries, but it turned out to be a big discovery, but it was a big pit.
"Then why do all these people around them still say that there is a big tree here that cures all diseases?" Yui Meow asked curiously.
The Phantom thought for a moment and said, "It may be that the descendants of that family have not died yet, and they tried to come in and test it after that, but they were all left behind. It is estimated that they are still rumoring this kind of statement, just to let some people who have deceived some powerful people come here to find out. ”
"Can you control the dead? Why didn't they dare come closer? Cui Yubao asked curiously.
"Of course, these dead are also part of the original seal, and I can control them to a certain extent, but under normal circumstances, I just let them move freely."
"Well, now that we've figured out what's going on, we're leaving, can you get these guys out of the way or continue to sleep?" Cui Yubao looked at the space where there was nothing but petrified trees and infiltrating skeletons, and there was no intention of staying.
The Phantom shook his head and said, "You can't leave yet, I'm so bored here, I don't know how long it's been since a creature to talk to has been here." ”
Cui Yubao secretly became vigilant, and said unhurriedly: "Let's talk about it when I have time, now I can't stay here to accompany you, next time I have the opportunity to bring you a communication stone, then you can chat with us every day." ”
Phantom smiled: "I still don't want it, I've really stayed enough in this dark place, and I still want to go out and see for myself than to chat with you." ”
"Oh? You can get out of here? So why don't you go on your own? Cui Yubao's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, ready to rise up at any time and then transform and take everyone away.
The phantom suddenly stretched out his finger, and Cui Yubao, who had been accumulating strength for a long time, instantly felt weak, and the gathered source energy directly dissipated. The phantom looked at the people who fell to the ground with satisfaction and said proudly: "This is my world, you have no hope at all, don't resist, as long as I let me devour your soul, I can leave this ghost place with the help of your body." ”
Saying that, the phantom looked at the five people, first looked at the third girl, shook his head and said, "The females in the memories of those creatures are too troublesome, forget it." Then he looked at Sun Daquan and said disdainfully: "It's too weak, and it can't bear a little strength from me." Finally, he looked at Cui Yubao and smacked his lips and said, "The strength is okay, but it's interesting to listen to the story you just told, just devour your soul, see if there are any other stories." ”
"⊙ o⊙..., that's not good, if you want to hear the story, I'll tell you a lot of stories when the time comes, and besides, how do you know that you can get out if you devour my soul? In case of failure, you don't even have someone to tell you a story. Cui Yubao, who hit the street, said eagerly, after knowing that this world is a real world, Cui Yubao is more cautious about things like souls, who knows if he will return to the city to be resurrected or really taken away by this guy after being devoured by this guy.
The phantom couldn't help but nod after listening to Cui Yubao's words: "Well, what you said does make sense, although I am not too sure, but it is indeed possible." ”
"Then let me go, I'll tell you a lot of stories when the time comes, I was a famous king of the old cold scene." Seeing the phantom hesitation, Cui Yubao felt that he was simply a genius, and he was so anxious.
Phantom smiled and said, "That's even better, I already like to read stories, and now it's even more important for you." ”
"Ahh What if it fails? "Cui Yubao is in a hurry, why do you still want to devour your soul in the end!
"If you fail, you will fail, anyway, there are five of you, try me and don't lose anything, okay, rest assured, I will take care of your friends." The phantom said nonchalantly, and then plunged into Cui Yubao's head.
Seeing the failure of the mouth cannon, Cui Yubao hurriedly concentrated on vigilance and activated all the defensive means that could be used, but unfortunately the soul strength of the phantom was too strong, these defensive means were similar to the paper paste, and the phantom was shattered at one touch, which represented that the spiritual body of this soul crashed headlong into Cui Yubao's spiritual body, and then wrapped Cui Yubao's soul with a volume more than ten times that exceeded Cui Yubao.
Looking at the phantom soul that was getting closer and closer, Cui Yubao felt a burst of despair, he didn't expect that he hadn't been in reality and games for long, and he was going to hit the street in such an inconspicuous small place.
Just when the phantom's spiritual body was about to come into contact with Cui Yubao's spiritual body, an invisible light curtain lit up, isolating the two spiritual bodies.
Looking at this light curtain, Cui Yubao suddenly remembered that since he played this game, the people here kept saying: The souls of players are protected by the gods, so they can be resurrected in the temple.
Looking at the phantom that had hit several times in a row and had returned in vain, Cui Yubao suddenly said with his mental strength: "Aren't you going to devour me?" Come and hit me, hit me, have the ability to come and beat me! ”
Under the anger of the phantom, it directly dispersed the spiritual power emitted by Cui Yubao, and collided with this light curtain even harder.
Cui Yubao, who was shocked and dissipated his spiritual power, felt a burst of pain, and in anger, he directly wanted to use his mental power to activate the seal, so that this phantom could enjoy the effect of suppression. As soon as Cui Yubao's spiritual power came into contact with the seal, the seal did not fall on Cui Yubao's spiritual body as before, but flew away and changed a poke to the phantom's spiritual body.
The phantom that was impacting the light curtain suddenly stopped, and said in horror: "What is this? What did you do to me?! ”
Cui Yubao secretly felt that there was a connection with the phantom, and this connection gave Cui Yubao a feeling that he seemed to be able to control the soul in front of him, and with the idea of trying it, Cui Yubao manipulated the phantom's spiritual body into a big ball.
"What did you do?! Let go of me! The phantom screamed in horror in the spirit world, and the fear spread everywhere along its spiritual power.
Feeling the fear of the phantom, Cui Yubao found that he could really completely control the soul of the phantom, and after the crisis, Cui Yubao ravaged the phantom recklessly, and turned into a fish ball for a while; One will turn into potato chips; One will become Lanzhou ramen; One will turn into chicken wings. Constantly changing all kinds of tricks, at first the phantom kept cursing, then begging, and finally completely silent.
Looking at the unresponsive phantom, Cui Yubao smacked his lips and said, "Why don't you scream, aren't you quite good?" and devour my soul, don't look at how many pounds and taels I have, I am the man who wants to save the world. ”
"Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated! Kill me! The phantom said weakly, everything was weird, it was beyond the imagination of the phantom, first the unbreakable light curtain, then the inexplicable seal, and finally it was ravaged by a weak chicken at will. I feel that there is no hope for the phantom, and now I only want to die, I was just bored before, and if I fall into the hands of this pervert, I may not be able to live or die in the future.
"Tsk, look at what you said, I'm a civilized person, how bad it is to fight and kill, besides, you did it first, I'm just defending it. Come, tell me what you are and what your strength is? "Cui Yubao is now a little suspicious that this guy has been lying to himself from the beginning.
The phantom hoped, "Can you let me go?" ”
Cui Yubao said disdainfully: "Are you stupid or am I stupid, say it quickly, otherwise I will knead you into a full banquet!" ”
Cui Yubao, who wanted to be hardened, felt the impending to move, and suddenly said from the heart: "I am really the seal here, I didn't lie to you when I said just now, as for the strength, this tree should be a pseudo-world-class, and if you leave here, it should be the peak of the realm." ”
"Then why don't you just take it and tell us such a long story?" Cui Yubao asked strangely.
The phantom said proudly: "I want to devour your soul, I just heard a story from you, of course I want to repay you a story first, I am a principled seal." ”
Kneading the phantom into an egg tart, Cui Yubao said: "What are you proud of? There are also principles, and if you have principles, you will not give up. ”
The Phantom begs for mercy, "I was wrong! It's because I just woke up and haven't slowed down, so the storytelling delays time. Don't rub it, you have the ability to kill me! ”
Cui Yubao paused for a moment and said, "Hehe, why should I listen to you, seeing that you are so energetic, let's have fun." ”
