Chapter 3302: The Desire of a Tree
Chapter 3299 The Desire of the Tree
There was no wind in the "Tombstone Wasteland", but after reaching the bottom of the [Corpse Tree], a biting wind blew. The hunting dog mummy inlaid on the tree asked:
"You've encountered a stinky lord corpse?"
"What? That guy is really a jazz?"
Xia De thought that even the carriage was false even when introducing himself.
"This is the kingdom of the tomb king. Isn't it reasonable to have jazz?"
The hoarse voice felt very old, and it was indeed very familiar with the world:
"But you don't need to worry that you will offend it. It is not uncommon for the nobles in this country of the dead. What is really strange is a living person like you. This scepter is a symbol of its noble status. Keep it for the time being, and it may be useful."
The hound's face squirmed on the trunk, so the whole tree was rustling. The breath of death surged, and even Xia De felt very uncomfortable. After all, he was a living person, so he didn't say anything more afterwards, but went straight to the topic:
"Then according to our agreement last time, I brought a way to liberate you and fulfill your master's wishes."
The beagle's soul jumped around under the tree, while the shriveled hound head on the trunk nodded:
"Liberate my soul and suppress this tree, and I will give you what you want."
Xia De took out the box containing [Renyi's Injection Needle]. The fine silver needle reflected the blue light above his head. The relic could be brought to this time and space, which itself means that the hunting dog must have mastered the key information.
The "three-step" plan provided by Denister is very simple, extracting spirits, stripping souls, and destroying trees.
The first step is to use the relics in Xia De's hand to extract the huge amount of spirits transformed from the corpse. The key to this step is to let the souls in the tree suppress the instinctive resistance of the [Corpse Tree].
He briefly introduced his plan to the hunting dog, and the latter also promised to try his best to control the tree without resisting when the spirit was extracted.
So the next thing became much simpler. Xia De came to the trunk of the corpse tree, and then stabbed the thin silver needle into the inside of the trunk, probably on the side of the hunting dog's head.
The relics entered the relics, which only made the crown of the [Corpse Tree] continue to rustle. One of the shriveled corpses hanging under the tree trembled violently, but soon returned to peace.
The soul of the beagle jumped happily around Xia De and the tree trunk, and the soft woofer added a bit of vitality to this dead silent world.
Xia De rolled up the sleeve of his left hand again. After being mentally prepared, he pressed his left index finger towards the other end of the needle until it pierced his skin. This is also the requirement for the use of this poet-level relics.
According to Dad John, who sold the relics, the efficiency of the relics to transform the spirit was very low. But after the silver needle shone slightly, Xia De clearly felt that the rushing spirit was quickly entering his body from the other end of the silver needle.
The spirits after the "filtered" of the relics have become quite slight due to the characteristics of the relics, but even so, the whisper elements that are exposed to through this way of absorbing the spirit are still very amazing. [The injection needle of Rendian Medicine] is actually used to extract the spirit of the ring sorcerer to weaken the enemy. The spirits of the relics are directly extracted, but people who conduct the shelter experiment dare not make any attempts easily.
"Will I get the 'tree' runes for this?"
Xia De was still thinking about the "Miracle-Tree" spirit rune that he abandoned to spend six hours with Chloe last time on the shore of the Ice Lake. Of course, if you can really get the "tree" this time, it must be a whisper type.
Although he has a very high resistance to various elements and his resistance to the supernatural spiritual pollution of the relics is even more amazing, as the increasingly huge spirit enters the body through the [Renyi's Injection Needle], he gradually feels something wrong with his body and spirit.
But he was not the only one who felt uncomfortable at this moment. The large amount of spirit stripping made the instinct of the [Corpse Tree] begin to work. He wanted to eliminate the "thief" that was close to him through his own power, and the tired soul embedded in the trunk must firmly suppress the instinct of the [Corpse Tree].
The suppression was quite easy at the beginning, but as the spirits lost faster and faster, the old soul could no longer suppress it.
So with the sound of the wool, the soul of the beagle jumping around Xia De's feet gently rubbed against the tree. The soul power it gave its mother was insignificant, but it gave the mother a reason to continue to persevere.
[Foreigner, you are exposed to "Whispering"] prompt appears every five seconds. At this time, Xia De no longer has the ability to care about the soul of the hunting dog. The characteristic of [Renyi's injection needle] is that the longer the extraction time, the faster the extraction speed. Although this causes it to be completely useless in actual combat, it also leads to the accumulation of whispering elements in his soul and body in today's situation, it is exploding to explode exponentially.
The huge spirit accumulated in the body is gradually transforming into pure "moon fire" flowing along his whole body with blood to help him maintain his rationality. But even so, when auditory hallucinations and vision have reached a certain level, Xia De still saw a story that does not belong to this era in a trance.
It was a long time ago. The kingdom that encountered a plague suffered a major disaster, so the king paid for a magical sapling from the mysticists. People planted the saplings in the center of the city, and burying a large number of corpses with disease as fertilizer into the soil, a strange "tree of life" was born.
The tree of life with a large amount of life energy is enough to restore health to anyone who is dying, to achieve rebirth of broken limbs, and to rebirth of people infected with plague. People celebrate the new hope that the "Tree of Life" brings to the kingdom, but gradually people discovered that this tree can not only cure diseases, but also allow mortals to obtain a longer life span through its life energy.
So the seeds of sin germinate in the hearts of the people, but after the plague ended, the kingdom could still get a steady stream of corpses, and the increasingly strong and healthy citizens were willing to follow the king to participate in wars and killings again and again.
The "Tree of Life" has obtained more nutrients, but no one knows that it has become more thirsty. Finally one day, when the "nutrients" provided by the kingdom are not enough to satisfy its huge appetite, the "Tree of Life" extends its roots and vines to the citizens who have absorbed too much of its life energy.
After a long time, when the mysterious scholar who kindly sold the wonderful sapling to help the kingdom visit this place again, he unexpectedly discovered that the original rich plain had already turned into a desert. In the dead city in the desert, there was only a big blue tree with lush branches and leaves in the center, and countless corpses hanging under the tree.
The illusion ended completely, like a dream, and the actual external time has not passed much. This dream about greed and sin, gifts and costs seem to be the real origin of the [Corpse Tree], but it may also be just the picture that the tree wants Xia De to see.
But in short, under the erosion of such a huge amount of whispering elements, Xia De, who saw the strange scene, would certainly not be rewarded. In addition to feeling hungry for some reason, he also gained a brand new power:
[Foreigner, you listened to the whisper of the "corpse tree".]
[Your magic - The Food of Flood has been sublimated, and the new effects are as follows: Selected foods can be increased to 3 types.]
[Foreigner, your sin of "gluttony" has increased.]
"Hmm? Isn't it related to the tree? Why did it turn into gluttony?"
[You have obtained a new magic trick - Hungry Kiss: Through kisses, you can greatly strengthen the emotions of a certain individual and enhance the desires of a certain individual. Corresponding to [Chest of Tree] Spirit Rune.]
"Hmm? What kind of hell is this? Is there something wrong with this effect? It should be put into the Pink Book like the [Witch's Joy]?"
In fact, there is really such a magic trick in [Pink Book], which is specially used to play the role of tiao/qing. Xia De became more and more puzzled, and then suddenly realized something:
"I didn't get the [Tree] spirit rune. Could it be because I already have [Tree Kiss]?"
He felt the increasingly huge spirit enter his body, and he was very puzzled why he read other people's stories, which eventually led to his sin of "gluttony" increasing. He clearly saw the story from an onlooker perspective, but he did not "eat" the kingdom.
[Because you have permanently obtained part of the "corpse tree", you have inherited part of its "sin".]
"She" smiled gently:
【It’s like, after eating the flesh and blood of "desire", you are officially exposed to sin.】
Xia De was even more puzzled:
"If I really gained part of this tree, should I give me some power related to this tree? That kiss is too much, right? If it is not in the Kingdom of the Dead in the Fifth Era, I even suspect that the situation is now a mermaid trap."
【Hold on.】
"Her"'s smile is still light and pleasant, and as more spirits pour into Xia De's body, the power of the "tree" has also taken shape:
[Foreigner, you have obtained the magic "Photosynthesis": absorbing external light can slowly heal injuries and greatly restore physical strength, and slightly restore your spirit. Corresponding to [Witch Light] Spirit Rune.]
Iluna has also used this magic trick (Chapter 1475), but unfortunately Xia De does not have the [Sun] spirit rune, so the corresponding one is still [Witch Light].
"But I have given me 'photosynthesis', but I still don't give [tree]?"
Xia De asked in his heart, but received no answer, and then he noticed another thing:
