Chapter 56: Piercing

Lever gave him a hard smack of the head with his tail and said, "yes, that's a real problem, so once you get rid of that ant, I'm going to kick you out of this world, or you'll throw the energy out of balance here." ”

"Wait, what about my challenge?" Diarrando almost stopped when he heard this, and Lever tapped the tip of his tail on his shoulder and said, "What else can I do?"

As he spoke, the green dragon pointed to the opposite side with one of his front paws, and Dearlando had already run to the edge of the Origin Pool hidden in the huge mint jungle. The mint on the opposite side was churning violently, indicating that something was coming from there.

With the clatter of branches and leaves being broken, a huge bull burst out of the mint grove, its whole body covered in a gorgeous sprinkled gold black, and the three horns on its head were in the shape of mighty branches. The Celestial Bull crossed an arc and plopped into a deep, round, small pool. Let the fully guarded Dearrando have a false alarm.

After a while, the longhorn re-emerged in the water, became much smaller, and then slowly swam to the shore and climbed up and disappeared into the mint bushes.

β€œ...... What is it doing? Will I get smaller if I jump?" Dearlandor asked Lever, pointing in the direction where the Celestial Bull had disappeared. Lever flicked his tail, and then explained impatiently: "The Origin Pool completes the individual cycle of organisms here, and when each sample grows to the aging stage, they can come back and return to their juvenile state and start a new round of life processes. This stuff won't work for you though, because you're not a sample here. Hurry up. That ant is already one step ahead of you. ”

Reassured that he would not become a baby, Diarrando plunged into the clear water and swam into the depths of the pool. As seen from the shore, the pool is only twenty feet wide, but it is very deep. He dived more than thirty feet, but still did not reach the end.

Lever kept urging him, "Hurry up! Hurry up! The ants are burrowing." Diarrando couldn't speak, although he was holding his breath much longer than the average person, and he already felt suffocated in his chest at the moment. The little dragon noticed that his movements were getting slower, and turned his head to look at him, realizing that he was about to suffocate. Immediately, he unceremoniously slapped him in the chest with his tail.

The blow was very sudden. It made Diarlandor open his mouth violently and swallow a large mouthful of water. He was about to cover his mouth nervously when Lever spoke: "This is the source of life, do you think it will drown?"

Diarlando gave it a try. I found that all the air in my lungs was squeezed out. Instead, my breathing became easier. He noticed that not only was he breathing normally. There was no problem even speaking, and he quickly asked, "How far is it down here?"

A warm yellow-green glow lit up around Lever, illuminating the darkening water. It pointed down with its nimble tail and said, "Half the way away, which round door do you see that you don't have? That's the valve of the lifeline of the Tree of Life, and after passing through that door, you can enter the veins of the Tree of Life." This tree, just like you humans, has its own blood vessels, which are used to transport nutrients and energy. ”

Diarrando sped up his dive, and he could faintly see a black circular gate at the bottom of the pool, similar to the one he had entered the Tree of Life. And he could see something on the door that shimmered a dark purple light from time to time.

Just as he was trying to swim, the current suddenly changed, and it rushed downward, and Diarrando watched as the round door shattered into several pieces in front of him, and then was washed into the door by the current, and he involuntarily sucked the liquid into the door.

Lever's two tails snapped against each other, and then a green wave shot out of the water, chasing the black dot in front of him who had fled with the door. But when the radio waves hit the ants, instead of being killed, the ants became two.

"Oh my god, why can't my power kill creatures, only make them grow better!" Lever grumbled dissatisfiedly, and Diarlando realized why the dragon had not been seen to act aggressively until now, because its power could only give creatures abundant vitality, not kill them at all.

"It's okay, I'll kill it, do you have a way to make me swim faster? Dearlando comforted the frustrated green dragon and then offered a little advice.

Lever glanced at him and said, "Don't regret it. With that, it aimed the sharp horns of its head at Deirlando's head, and released a green ball of light. Dearrando felt a heat in his head, and the heat spread from his forehead to his limbs. Then my hands and feet itched, and then I saw that transparent webs grew between my fingers, and the pressure on my feet increased, and then sharp nails pierced the front of my boots, and long seal-like fins grew.

"......" Diarlando looked at the new parts that had grown on his body speechlessly, and now he didn't have time to protest, so he still used it to catch the target quickly and then find a way to remove it, anyway, his weird place was not one or two.

After increasing the paddling area of his hands and feet, his speed became noticeably faster, and when he entered the passage behind the round door, he realized that it was a main channel where countless pipes converged. When you swim through it, you can see this black round valve about three feet in diameter on both sides. The tiny ant in front of him was trying to swim to the end of the main ditch, and it was less than fifty feet away from him.

"Where is he going? How does he know the structure of the Tree of Life?" asked Dearrando curiously, if the ant was really related to Feckelen, then why did he know so much about the Tree of Life.

"He's going to the Creation of Consciousness, the elf who has spied on Namantto and his human contractors through my side of the challenge. Probably the talkative Namu is talking nonsense, those two-headed nagging guys, always leaking our secrets, illogical bastards!"

"What if he goes to the Creation Zone?"

"As soon as a sample of his real body comes into contact with a sample of a conscious individual, he creates a hole between the two worlds, causing confusion in the layers we manage. The world of the Dragon Realm is like seven spheres layered on top of each other, and only a temporary passage is created between each other when the challenger is tested. ”

"Now this high-energy body that escaped from the real world is like a stick piercing the outside of the ball to the inside of the ball, if its energy is large enough, it may pierce through the seven layers at the same time, then the energy of our layers may interfere with each other through that loophole, causing a terrible disaster. ”

When Diarrando heard this, he swam harder. He couldn't fully understand what Lever was talking about, but it sounded serious enough. But at this time, the ants not far in front of them suddenly disappeared. You must know that it is difficult for an ant the size of a finger to track in such a dim body of water, and now he blinked slightly, and the target was gone.

Lever flicked his tail, pointed to a hole in front of the right, and said, "It's in, and that side should be the Consciousness Creation Area corresponding to your spirit bodyβ€”the 351 Zone." Diarrando immediately rushed over, then drew his dagger and was on full alert.

A dark purple light flickered on the black round gate, and ants the size of two fingers were constantly spitting this glowing substance on the gate, as if they were using it to corrode the gate.

Deirrando pounced and slapped the two ants. Unexpectedly, one of them suddenly became larger, and spikes grew all over its body, covering the entire dome like a huge sea urchin.

The spikes on the ant's body were very sharp, and Rao was quick to stop it, and he was also poked two or three shallow holes. He immediately sharpened the thorns with a dagger. But the severed parts will immediately grow new ones. It seems that Fikelen's tactic is to stall for time and try to break the goal.

Gritting his teeth, Diarrando stabbed the ant's body parts with a dagger, despite the spikes piercing his arms and body. With a knife down, with a strong twist, a piece of nail the size of a palm was lifted, and the body fluids of the dark ants floated in the water. Lever immediately released a glowing green bubble from his tail to fill it all in.

Half of Dillando's body was covered with long black thorns, but he didn't bother to pull them out at the moment, but took advantage of the victory to pursue, took advantage of the gap between the thorns, and slashed down again, cutting off half of the ant's shoulder. After these two pieces were chopped off, he was finally able to reach the ant's neck without being poked.

He put away the knife and cut off half of the ant's neck with one knife, and then stabbed it again with his backhand, and finally cut off the ant's head completely. He grabbed the spikes on his head and threw the ant's head back, and Lever, who had already swam around his neck, immediately put a larger green bubble bag to wrap the ant's head in, cutting it off from the source of life around it.

New round limbs began to emerge from the severed neck of the ant, and it seemed that Faekelen was planning to continue to stretch to organize Diarlando. But now that he didn't have a chance, Diarlando reached under the spiky ant like a sea urchin and pulled the whole ant off.

As soon as he peeled it off, he immediately slashed the ant in the abdomen with a dagger more than a dozen times, dividing the ant into dozens of pieces, and finally threw it to Lever. When the huge ant was lifted, it revealed the small purple ant underneath, and Dearlando went to catch it regardless of the danger.

He pinched the hard ant's body and pulled it out, only to find that a long, moth-like mouthpiece had pierced into the black iron gate in the ant's mouth. (To be continued......)
