Chapter 55: The Source
More of the walls became transparent, and Dearlando could see through the layers of walls that the ants caught by the arc had been wiped out in this way.
"What a terrible ant, is this the world I belong to?" Deirlando, seeing that the ant crisis had been resolved, asked the scavenger as he walked back to the center of the room to see the distribution of the energy.
I don't know if I don't know it, but when I look at it, the large area that was still pale green just now has not only not turned blue-gray, but has begun to turn into a pink-purple bright spot with higher energy after clearing thousands of ants. He snapped at the pink-purple highlights, and found that when zoomed in, they were still in the form of ants. In other words, after the round of cleaning just now, the ants left on the ground not only did not return to normal, but became individuals with higher energy and smaller size.
The scavenger's red alert came on again, and now the entire outer wall was transparent. Dearlando didn't have to run out to see how the arc nets scraped across the ground, grabbing the more energy-dense ants from the ground one by one, which were only about three feet in size.
In order to catch the ants, the scavenger's upward movement stopped, maintaining only a slow rotation. However, this time, the ants caught by the arc began to shrink in mid-air, although the arc also continued to tighten with the shrinkage of the prey, but according to the rule that the smaller the volume of this world, the higher the energy, those ants are rapidly reaching the energy level of humanoid advanced intelligent creatures.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on? Scavenger, those ants are eating your energy, and you keep clutching them. They're going to evolve further!Let them go and let me hunt them!" Deirlandor was almost certain that these ants were inseparable from Ficalen, and he didn't expect that his counterpart here was not an elf, but an ant. Thinking back to what he had said in the Dome World, it was clear that he had fused his life form with the Thousand Worms.
"That's a new creature!Scavenger, you may not be able to get rid of it with the previous means, the more you supply it, the higher the energy it will absorb, and the more damage it will cause!"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Diarlando simply strode out of the passage. He looked at the half he could see now. There are probably more than 100 ants caught in the arc. And is rapidly approaching the scavenger's main cabin. He ran for a while, then jumped out, grabbed an arc directly, and slid down. Rush to the end of the roll ant.
He endured the excruciating pain of the electric current. Hold the arc in one hand. The other hand pulled out the dagger, and as he approached the ant, he split the ant's head with a single blow. A strange tingling sensation ran down the dagger and onto his arm. Dearlando didn't care, thinking it was the sensation caused by the electric shock.
After he eliminated the ant on his arc, he swung it vigorously towards another nearby one, and then directly cut off the head of the strange ant in the same way. Every time he cut off a head, he felt a tingling electric current flowing through his body, and although it was painful, it was itchy and painful like countless ants crawling under his skin, but no matter how uncomfortable it was, he could only endure it temporarily.
However, after he had killed seven or eight ants, the scavenger began to cooperate with his movements, and took the initiative to send the ants captured by his arc net to Deirlando's side. With the cooperation of the scavenger, the work of killing ants was much easier, and it didn't take long for more than a hundred mutated ants to be removed.
Dearrando left the remains of an ant to observe it, and found that the inner cavity of the ant that had been cut open would dry quickly, and then the shell would begin to dry up and crumble, as if weathered, and finally turn into dust and scatter in the air.
He noticed that before he knew it, the arc he was grasping had retracted its electric light and turned into an ordinary white soft cord. It seemed that the scavenger had put away his defenses that would hurt him, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Is this like a word! I'll help you solve your troubles, and it's too boring for you to even charge me." Hurry up and pull me up, the ants are all dead!"
However, instead of taking it back, the long rope in his hand began to land on the ground, and Dearlandor looked at the ground getting closer and closer, wondering why the scavenger had put himself down. At this point, another thing slid down the ropeline, and Dearlando looked up and saw that it was a miniature version of Lever.
I don't know when the head that was talking just now was attached, and now it was sliding along with it with its three tails with a long rope.
Soon the miniature Lever caught up with Dearlando, and then very unceremoniously jumped on his shoulder, and then crossed heads and tails around his neck like a scarf.
"Hey, what are you doing, why are you going down with me?" Dearlando curiously touched the new green dragon scarf, one of Livell's three tails snapped his hand, and said, "Let's go find the source of the pollution, that elven pollution has begun to penetrate my defenses, and the trouble here is much bigger than you think." ”
Diarrando immediately noticed that the other party's tone was much more emotional than just now, although it was still the same soft and calm tone, but it didn't sound as mechanical and cold as before.
"Are you...... Lever himself?" Dearlando asked cautiously, the mini-dragon scarf flicked his tail, and then generously admitted: "It's me, this is one of my energy projections, the tree of life you see is not the real one in the universe, the one in our hometown Star Realm." This one is a projection of it on the level of my consciousness, so when my consciousness is attacked from outside, it mutates. ”
"What will happen to the real Tree of Life, will it be affected?" asked Dearrando worriedly.
"The realm of dragons is the home of the consciousness of all dragons, we are the origin projection of thousands of dragons, if our consciousness is invaded, then it will affect all dragons. The extent of the impact is not yet available. After all, there is a huge gap between the soul body between the elf and the dragon, even if he can successfully invade, it will be difficult to assimilate us in the end, and it is more likely to be absorbed by us in the end. ”
"Then why don't you assimilate him now?" Diarlando wondered when he heard that the dragon could completely deal with Fetcheron.
"You know, even if he is assimilated by us in the end, his imprint will remain in our dragon's consciousness as an indelible stain. This stain will last forever with our eternal life, and it is simply a shame. So he had to be dealt with immediately. Lever's voice was a little excited at the end, and it seemed that for the dragons, Fellaren had really become a big problem.
"And what am I going to do?" Soon a man and a dragon fell to the ground along the long rope, and Diarrando looked around to see where he had landed was a huge dandelion. This flower, which is no more than the size of a coin in the real world, now looks the size of a balcony. The view here is very good, and you can clearly see the things in the surrounding area for two or three miles.
Lever circled his two tails in a circle, then motioned for Dearlando to look around through his tail. "Now in the 1569 area, there is only one high-energy ant-type creature left, and it is already heading to the origin pool of this area, intending to directly absorb the energy there. Underneath the Origin Pool is the energy channel of the entire Tree of Life, and once it enters there, it is possible to invade any area along the channel. ”
Following the direction of the dragon's tail, Diarlando saw a small circular lake beneath a large bush of mint, and immediately ran in that direction.
"Why is it that after the scavenger killed those ants, they have become smaller in size and more energetic? Didn't you say that the energy should be released into the creatures to which they belonged?" asked Deirlando, as he ran.
Lever's projection hung softly around his neck, and he used his tail to direct the surrounding plants to stretch out the leaves in front of Deirlando, building a temporary passage while saying: "Under normal circumstances, the energy that was taken away will return to the original species after killing the tilting creatures, but the energy of the ants we killed just now not only did not return, but gathered into the bodies of the same kind, so that the energy and intelligence of those mutated ants continued to improve." ”
"Just now you killed almost all the mutant ants in this area, and the energy of those ants is evenly divided into two parts, one part is in your body, and the other part is in the body of the only remaining ant. Its energy is too high for me to risk getting it to the scavenger. Because it is highly likely to steal more energy from the scavenger, it will soon become the creature with the most energy in this space. ”
A glowing diagram appears in the circle formed by Lever's tail, which creates the image of an ant, and then scatters many points of light around it. As the ant grows larger, the surrounding points of light actively lean towards the ant as if they are attracted, and then absorbed by the ant, making the ant bigger.
"Look, just like this, when it becomes the largest energy body here, the energy of other creatures will be attracted to it and automatically flow to it, which is the law of energy return. ”
Dearlando didn't seem to understand, and he waited for Lever to finish and asked, "I seem to have heard you say that half of the energy of those ants went to that Fekren ant......, and the other half went to me?
