Chapter Twenty-Eight: Life and Death

"Wow, that's handsome."

Under Yang Yun's deliberate manipulation, the scope of the Tree Realm Descent was limited to the area behind him, so the members of the Central Continent team were not affected in any way. Zheng Zha looked at the majestic sea of trees that spread for several kilometers, and couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart, he said with a little thought: "However, Yang Yun, although the visual effect of creating a sea of trees in an instant is very shocking, but if there are only simple trees, it seems that it can only play a restrictive role on the enemy...... Can this ability be of any use in real combat? ”

"On the one hand, it is dedicated to cleaning miscellaneous items, and on the other hand, Zheng Zhe, you don't know the efficacy of these trees yet."

Yang Yun smiled slightly, his gaze swept over the dense sea of trees, and there was a hint of confidence in his voice, as if he had foreseen that this sea of trees created by him would play a key role in the next battle, as well as infinite possibilities: "Although trees are only restraints, with the right use, they can become a powerful barrier, even a deadly weapon. ”

"Moreover, trees and vines can quickly absorb the life energy in the bodies of bound enemies, making them quickly incapacitated." Yang Yun explained slightly, when Zheng Zhe entered the main god space, the plot of Naruto had not yet developed to the point where he was reincarnated in the dirt between Madara Uchiha and the Thousand Hands Pillar, so he didn't know the true power of Mu Dun, and it was normal to think that his expressiveness only stayed at the level of the middle ninja exam in the first part: "At the same time, plants can also compete with people for air, making it difficult for enemies to breathe." ”

And plants grab air? It was difficult for Zheng Zha to imagine that kind of scene, but under the past history, he still chose to believe Yang Yun's words, and asked curiously, "So you exchanged something, Naruto's interpillar cells?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head and answered Zheng Zhe's question in a negative tone: "No, although I do have the ability to exchange for the Divine Tree Fruit in Naruto, doing so will most likely cause me to grow reincarnation eyes, after all, the Divine Tree Chakra Fruit may have the most direct connection with bloodline...... So I finally decided not to adopt it. ”

There was a hint of caution in his tone, and he chose among the many options offered by the Self God: "Although there are several redemptions to choose from, in the end, the one I chose was the Spirit Tree Fruit from Dragon Ball. ”

- Sacred Tree Chakra Fruit, from Naruto, the Sacred Tree Fruit sown and collected by the Otsuki clan. Originally, it was grown by the "Ten Tails", a collection of chakras, after devouring the individuals of the Otsuki clan and then absorbing the natural energy of the entire planet...... Requires an A-level side story, with a reward of 8,000 points.

- Golden Tree Seed, in the world view of "Elden Ring", the seed of the divine tree that is invested in the junction by the supreme will can grow into a real golden tree after planting. The Golden Tree is able to distribute its power to other lifeforms, allowing them to be blessed and recovering their souls for further growth after death.

— Helheim Golden Fruit, from Kamen Rider Armor......

In addition to various fruits, the exchange system of the main god also includes a series of consumables such as elixirs and potions. Although there were many items to choose from, after careful consideration, Yang Yun finally decided to choose those items that could enhance spiritual power and life energy, and the final decision was the Spirit Tree Fruit...... After all, when faced with these exchangeable objects that seem to be extremely useful, but do not know their expressiveness in their respective works, it is always safer to choose what you know and understand.

"Dragon Ball...... Oh, it turned out to be the spirit tree fruit in the theatrical version. ”

Zheng Zhe heard Yang Yun's explanation, although he didn't know exactly what the Divine Tree Fruit was, but he still knew something about the Dragon Ball work. After a little recollection, he remembered the plot in the theatrical version.

But one question is answered, and the second question is randomly generated, and Zheng Qi has no idea what the Spirit Tree Fruit in Dragon Ball has in common with Naruto's Wood Escape ability. After all, on the surface, Dragon Ball's Spirit Tree Fruit and Naruto's Mu Dun seem to have only one thing in common: "Then how did you use Mu Dun's ability?" Could it be that the Naruto world and the Dragon Ball world are actually in the same universe and have an intersection with each other? ”

"Don't ask, asking is a bypass."

Yang Yun first made a small joke, trying to answer Zheng Zhe's question with humor. However, facing Zheng Zha's gaze of "do you believe it or not", he finally chose to confess the truth: "The Spirit Tree Fruit and the Divine Tree Fruit are actually fruits that bear after absorbing the life energy of the planet. ”

"You said it earlier, that is to say, this 'Birth of the Tree Realm' is actually a self-created skill that you have researched by combining the life energy in your body and the fourth-order gene lock, and it is a plausible thing from the original, not a chakra-driven ninjutsu...... That's right, right? ”

In Zheng Zhe's opinion, Yang Yun's "Wood Escape-Tree Realm Birth" is not directly from Naruto's Wood Escape, but through the exchange system of the main god and his own ability transformation, he has created a special skill with a similar effect. Although this ability simulates the effect of Mu Dun, it does not mean that there is a direct connection between the two different worlds. Except that they are all related to plants.

Yang Yun nodded, confirming Zheng Zha's understanding: "That's right, although I borrowed the concept of Mu Dun, the principle and driving force behind it are completely different. To put it simply, it is the life energy I have obtained through the fruit of the Spirit Tree and my genetic lock ability that work together to form such a new technology...... But it's not too difficult, and you can do it with your hands when you have the hands to plant trees, right? ”

"To put it mildly, I still haven't studied how the Blood Clan's magic of turning into a bat is done." Listening to Yang Yun's Versailles speech, Zheng Zha couldn't help but complain: "Obviously, I have unlocked the fourth-order gene lock, but I still can't do anything about this kind of thing, this kind of thing should be the innate skill of the blood clan...... Or does the main god discriminate against mutant bloodlines? ”

"It's really easy to say, but it's not easy to do, and the mastery and improvement of ability is not something that can be achieved overnight."

Chu Xuan picked up Zheng Zha's words, and he said, "The setting that the advanced blood clan enhancement can change from human form to bat or even multiple forms is the innate ability that comes with their bloodline, and the mechanism behind it is far more complex than imagined. This transformation may be through intracellular gene regulation, as well as unique energy manipulation in the body, and when it is necessary to deform, it will carry out a certain energy field or material conversion mechanism, transform the bones, muscles, internal organs and other tissues of the blood family, and even further change the body density. ”

Perhaps there is some deeper reason behind this simple thing, which is the racial difference between the two, and therefore cannot be explained simply by scientific principles. However, some scientific hypotheses and discussions can be made from biology, physics, chemistry and medicine......"

"Why is it that I'm just asking a question, and you're acting like you're doing the opening report of some scientific research?" Zheng Zha looked at Chu Xuan with strange eyes, he had already seen that the young man's glasses seemed to be shining with a light called "research desire": "I actually just expressed my doubts, and I didn't say that I must study this skill......"

"Maybe you only practice death and don't practice magic, which leads to too high physical strength."

Yang Yun made a joke: "The higher the strength of the flesh, the greater the muscle density, the more difficult it is to turn your body into mist or split into a bat...... How is this explanation, isn't it scientific? ”

"You see, in the setting of some magic and supernatural abilities, sometimes the strength of the flesh and the ability to use magic are set to some extent, and the size of the bloodline is usually relatively thin, so it is also very reasonable for those vampires in the Harry Potter world to be attracted to you, a new type of bloodline who often trains muscles...... Burst. ”

“…… Almost. ”

Compared with Chu Xuan's tirade, it is obvious that Yang Yun, a discerning person, can see that the reason for talking nonsense is more acceptable, and it is more in line with Zheng Zha's characteristics on weekdays. Listening to the snickering laughter led by Cheng Xiao from behind him, as well as the undisguised laughter of the overlord, Zheng Zha didn't speak, but showed his sandbag-sized fist with a black face.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing that Zheng Zhe looked like he wanted to show his muscles after being exposed, Yang Yun hurriedly coughed when he saw this, and at the same time quickly suppressed the smile he was about to overflow, and said instead: "Okay, let's put the joke aside first...... I'll deal with the front first, after all, these trees can't be allowed to occupy the main god square for a long time, this is not a Konoha Ninja Village, and it is not a place to use their abilities at will. ”

As he spoke, Yang Yun waved his hand lightly, and in an instant, countless green points of light flashed from the depths of the forest, like fireflies flowing in the night sky, and they all fell into Yang Yun's body. With the return of these green lights, the huge sea of trees began to wither rapidly, as if time was speeding up at this moment, and in just a few tens of seconds, it turned into dead branches and leaves. The main god square of the Central Continent team once again revealed its original appearance, as if the natural wonder just now was nothing more than an illusion.

"You have taken back the life energy from these trees."

Chu Xuan's arm was already intact under the comprehensive restoration of the main god, and he watched intently as those trees gradually withered, leaving only pieces of dead leaves and branches scattered on the ground. After the last green leaf also withered and shattered, Chu Xuan said in an affirmative tone: "What you are doing is borrowing the 'birth' and 'evolutionary mutation' of what you already have, rather than creating something from nothing. ”

Listening to Chu Xuan's words, Qi Teng on the other side suddenly realized at the same time, and his tone was filled with curiosity and recognition of this skill: "I see...... These trees are not actually purely chakra constructed, but are catalyzed by the life energy manipulated by Yang Yun, and once that energy is withdrawn, they will naturally return to their original state. ”

"yes, that's pretty much it."

Yang Yun snapped his fingers in a dashing manner, and a wisp of life energy wrapped around Qi Tengyi's body, taking root in his brain: "So theoretically, I can help you solve this problem......

The next moment, under the effect of life energy, Qi Tengyi's hair began to grow wildly, and the thick black hair soon covered the top of his head, but the problem was-

“…… It seems to be a little too good. ”

Seeing that Qi Tengyi's hair, even his eyebrows and beard began to grow, Yang Yun coughed lightly and suppressed the smile in his words: "It seems that I still need to practice more." ”

"Theoretically, then, you should be able to do the opposite."

Chu Xuan retracted his gaze from Qi Tengyi, who had turned into a savage in just a few seconds, and his words carried his unique sharp analysis, like a sharp knife cutting directly into the core of the problem, making Yang Yun and the other members of the Zhongzhou team can't help but ponder: "Life and death are two inseparable sides of the world, since you can use your powerful life energy to stimulate the mutation of external biological tissues, and can effortlessly recycle the life force you have given to trees, and further reverse operations, do you also have the ability to take the life force of others?" ”

“…… This is indeed a novel point of view. ”

Yang Yun had to admit that Chu Xuan's question touched his thinking, which was a direction he had never thought of before: "Let me experiment." ”

As he spoke, Yang Yun glanced at Qi Teng again, regretfully giving up the plan to experiment on his brain.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Yun closed his eyes, and at this moment, his temperament changed drastically.

If the previous Yang Yun can be compared to a bright sun, exuding endless vitality, like a big sun hanging high in the sky, its brilliance can melt glaciers and dispel the cold; Now he is like a white dwarf star after the sun has run out of light, no longer radiating light and heat, but beginning to absorb the energy and life essence around him, bringing a cold winter, making the earth covered with frost and silver-white...... And Luo Gandao, who was standing not far from him, felt this change almost instinctively, and unconsciously took a few steps back.

Zheng Zha was also aware of the changes that had occurred in Yang Yun's body, and he cautiously moved his steps to block in front of everyone in the Zhongzhou team again to prevent the situation just now from repeating again. But this time the changes in Yang Yun's body didn't last long, and after a few seconds, he reopened his eyes with a slightly helpless expression,

"How so...... Probably not so much right now. ”

A few seconds later, Yang Yun opened his eyes, his gaze was locked on Chu Xuan again, and then he shrugged his shoulders, expressing a kind of helplessness and recognition: "Your theory is very reasonable, life and death are indeed inseparable, but the transformation between life and death is by no means just a simple reverse operation. ”

"Judging from the current level of control over power, the depth of subtlety, and the depth of exploration of bloodline power, it seems that it will take a long time to reach that state...... However, it is a path of progress after all. ”

"Well, I remember that in the martial arts called "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", there is the 'Immortal Seal Method' of the cycle of life and death, you can try to refer to this aspect."

Chu Xuan nodded, and with his usual calmness and analytical power, he provided a kind of Yang Yun's research direction: "For you now, it doesn't make much sense to exchange equipment or skills below A-level, so you can postpone your exchange to accumulate resources, or exchange some targeted items for the next team battle." ”

"We can wait for the return workout to end and the results of my research. Next ......"

Chu Xuan's gaze was deflected, and he looked at Cheng Xiao, who was still covering his mouth and snickering just now, and looked at this young man with gray hair.

"Cheng Xiao, I need you to return to reality for a while." (End of chapter)
