"Sizzle …"
Around Mossy Bone, a spherical force field flashed with purple sword radiance, eliminating the power of the Tree Spirit Contaminating.
"No, this can't go on …"
The Tree Spirit Contaminating realized that something was wrong. This mysterious man was too powerful, and its most terrifying method of parasitism was useless against this man.
If this continued, its power would soon be exhausted, and it would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
After all, the power of the Tree Spirit Contaminating had been greatly depleted, and it would need at least two to three years of sleep to recover.
Now that it was forcibly awakened, its power was not even half of its usual. If it continued to use its power, it would soon be unable to hold on.
"Run …"
"Whoosh …" The pieces of seaweed surrounding Mossy Bone suddenly flew back and fled toward the door.
Seeing this, Mossy Bone stood still with his sword in hand. He did not give chase, but just watched quietly.
Suddenly, when the Tree Spirit Contaminating reached the door, a mighty aura surged out and collided with it.
Instantly, the Tree Spirit Contaminating screamed, and all the pieces turned into ashes. A fist-sized ball of turbid light floated in the air.
"Whoosh whoosh …"
Thin, transparent chains shot out from the door and tightly bound the turbid ball of light. Abruptly, it was pulled into the door and disappeared.
"It's almost done … I've collected the specific data of the Tree Spirit Contaminating, but it's more troublesome to crack its parasitic ability …"
"However, the defense system of the Mausoleum Fortress can confine the Tree Spirit Contaminating …"
The voice of the Moon Core sounded, very satisfied with this result.
Witnessing the result of the battle on the light screen, Hayashi River shook his head. It seemed that he had overestimated the Tree Spirit Contaminating.
Before entering the Elf Citadel, the Tree Spirit Contaminating was indeed a great enemy, but now, it was really not enough.
Even if the Tree Spirit Contaminating was at its peak, it would not be a match for Mossy Bone.
Moreover, the Moon Core, who had quickly taken control of the Mausoleum Fortress, had various methods to deal with the Tree Spirit Contaminating.
"With the current experimental subjects, I can find out how these Tree Spirits Contaminating were corrupted …" Hayashi River muttered to himself.
He was very interested in this kind of research, and immediately walked toward the secret chamber.
Beside him, Laknia, Dusk, and the others had already been picked up. Before they could react, they were dragged by Old Aidan and the others to other mausoleums for special training.
There were many good things in the Mausoleum Fortress that could not be reused. Every time they were used, they would be gone.
Old Aidan, Hai Wuya, and the others were biased towards Zhui and Laknia, so they naturally wanted to give the best things to the younger generation.
Seven days later …
The Mausoleum Citadel had changed greatly. The entire citadel had shrunk by two-thirds, but it was like a majestic fortress floating in the air. Rays of light surged like a waterfall, enveloping the entire citadel.
This was the true form of the Mausoleum Fortress. When the Elves built the Elven Mausoleum, they had considered this point and made it the final fortress of their race.
Later on, when the High Elves came here and carried out that terrible plan, they modified the place again.
It could be said that this fortress contained the highest technique of the Elven Clan …
In the depths of the hall, the spherical core had already been repaired. It floated several meters above the ground, flickering with brilliance as it controlled the various installations of the fortress.
In one of the secret rooms, there was a transparent cylinder with a palm-sized crystal box inside. Transparent chains passed through the box and tightly bound a turbid ball of light.
This was the will of the corrupted Tree Spirit!
As for the crystal box, it was the crystal coffin that the evil creature had originally been sleeping in. Over the past seven days, Hayashi River had divided the crystal coffin into pieces and used it as a cage to imprison the consciousness.
Sizzle, sizzle …
Rays of light shot into the crystal box, and the cries of the corrupted Tree Spirit could be heard from within. On the light screen outside, scenes of memories appeared one after another.
In the secret room, Hayashi River, Mossy Bone, and the others had been staring at the light screen. Beside them stood a handsome male elf. His every movement revealed an unconcealable elegance.
"Mr. Chuan, Mr. Bone, actually, why don't you give this fellow's consciousness to me? I want to test out the techniques of the Elves and the mental strength of the Blood Spirit Clan …" the male elf said softly with an amiable smile.
Lin Chuan, Mossy Bone, Six Hands, and the others stared at the elf with strange gazes. No matter who it was, when they saw their familiar companion turn from a mechanical puppet into a male elf, they would feel the same complicated emotions.
"Foka No.1's body is so good, but you just had to change to a physical body. You're not going to reproduce …" Six-Hands shook his head.
As an expert of the Shadow Tribe, Six-Hands had always treated Fowler as one of his own after learning of his situation.
In fact, Six-Hands was quite envious of Foka No.1's mechanical body. It was much stronger than his own body, and no matter how thoroughly it was damaged, it could still be repaired.
On the other hand, Six-Hands' body had strong regenerative abilities. To a certain extent, he wasn't a living being, but he would still die after being damaged to a certain extent.
Now, after the transformation of the Mausoleum Citadel, Fowler had been reborn as an elf. Of course, this was what he thought.
Lin Chuan and the others did not think that Fowler's current appearance was very good. Besides, they had a rather good understanding of this person's goal in wanting to change his body, so they felt that Fowler's desire was even more unreasonable.
"Forget it. Pure-blooded elves are almost extinct now. You're not bad … "Mossy Bone said.
Fowler tidied up his clothes happily and asked again if he wanted to extract all the memories of the corrupted Tree Spirit.
Over the past seven days, although he had obtained many secrets from the consciousness of this corrupted Tree Spirit, it didn't say many of the key secrets.
Even though it was only a consciousness, the corrupted Tree Spirit knew very well that if it revealed the final secret, it would be completely wiped out.
"Why do you have to do this … Tell me the secret of how to reverse the corrupted Tree Spirit and let the pure Tree Spirit absorb it. This is also a kind of return …"
Hayashi River said. He injected some mental energy into the consciousness of the corrupted Tree Spirit and tried to bewitch it.
"Isn't that returning!? That's a kind of regression. You demon-like human, you're actually no different from us … "
The roar of the corrupted Tree Spirit could be heard. It was filled with fear toward this young human. In its mind, this young Mechanic was a terrifying being.
Originally, even with the equipment of the Mausoleum Fortress, it would have been extremely difficult to obtain those secrets from the consciousness of the corrupted Tree Spirit.
After all, the corrupted Tree Spirit was the ancestor of this world when it came to using consciousness. Since ancient times, countless beings had undergone terrifying mutations because of the Tree of Life Sap …
However, Lin Chuan had used an unknown power to squeeze out a lot of secrets from the willpower.
If not for the fact that many memory fragments would be lost when the consciousness was destroyed, this corrupted Tree Spirit would have no doubt that Hayashi River would have directly erased it into countless memory fragments.
Every time this young Mechanic used that mysterious power, the corrupted Tree Spirit would feel uncontrollable, as if its consciousness was being persuaded.
However, it would never reveal a single secret about how to reverse the contamination of the Tree Spirit …
Hayashi River sighed and shook his head helplessly. He also understood that it would be very difficult to obtain those secrets from this consciousness. This involved the safety of all the corrupted Tree Spirits.
After pondering for a while, Hayashi River said, "If that's the case, can you tell me which races and beings participated in the plan to corrupt the Tree of Life?"
As he said that, a gentle light flashed on his forehead, and the eyeball pattern appeared. It kept spinning and enveloped the crystal box.
Around him, his companions looked at the young Mechanic with great respect for his mysterious power.
Although the eyeball pattern on Hayashi River's forehead was not obvious now, it was faintly glowing. This was visible to the naked eye, just like those holy scenes in the legends.
"If Mr. Chuan goes to the Sacred Palace, I'm afraid he'll be conferred as a reincarnated Saint …" Fowler mumbled.
In the crystal box, the corrupted Tree Spirit's consciousness struggled violently, but it did not refuse this time. It reluctantly replied, "I'm not too sure about that … I'm not in the first batch to be corrupted. Only the first batch of corrupted Tree of Life know about these secrets …"
Hearing that, everyone was stunned. The Tree of Life was being corrupted in batches. This was the first time they had heard of such a thing.
In Hayashi River's mind, the pure Tree Spirit's consciousness was also shocked. It was also the first time it had heard of this secret.
This consciousness did not hide anything and revealed the difference between the corrupted Tree Spirits. The plan to corrupt the Tree of Life was set up by some mysterious beings for a long time. It was very detailed, and the process was very long.
The first step of the plan was to establish a good relationship with some of the Tree of Life's clones.
When the Tree of Life was at its peak, there were saplings all over the continent, emitting life energy and nurturing the creatures on the continent.
After becoming familiar with these saplings, these mysterious beings would constantly guide these saplings to develop emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
"This plan is really …"
Hearing this, Hayashi River could not help but be shocked. From this first step, he had roughly understood the process of this plan.
He thought of the Western myths on Earth, where the angels were tempted by the devil and fell. This process was very similar.
Once the Tree of Life's clones had the emotions of living creatures, they would naturally develop all kinds of negative emotions, which would breed hatred, ambition, and so on …
At this time, the first batch of corrupted Tree Spirits was born. They were like tumors on the Tree of Life, silently eroding their own kind and expanding. When the symptoms really broke out, it was already too late …
Those mysterious beings used the Tree of Life's lack of normal intelligence to complete the Tree of Life's corruption plan …
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …
A memory appeared on the light screen. It was the scene of the entire continent after the Tree of Life completely collapsed. The sky was covered by thick clouds, and the sun, moon, and stars could not be seen. There were hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, and constant changes in the landscape …
This situation lasted for a thousand years, forming the current landscape of the continent and wiping out half of the living creatures on the continent …
Everyone was silent. They had heard about the process of the continent's great changes from the pure Tree Spirit, but they had never seen such a clear picture.
Hayashi River was silent for a moment. He tapped his fingers on the table and asked calmly, "You don't know about those mysterious beings … What about the first batch of corrupted Tree Spirits?"
Bang …
In the crystal box, the corrupted Tree Spirit's consciousness fluctuated violently. It was struggling and did not want to answer Hayashi River's question.
Hayashi River stretched out his hands, condensing Psychic Force in one hand and mental energy in the other. Suddenly, he brought them together and formed a new force.
The surrounding space immediately changed. Ripples spread out and formed an invisible force field, trapping the crystal box within.
Then, the corrupted Tree Spirit screamed in pain. It felt like it was about to be destroyed. This new force had an irresistible aura.
"One of the first batch of corrupted Tree Spirits is in the Grand Seo Prefecture. It has always been there …"
"Ever since the Sea-Ao Empire was established, it has always been there. It is also the strongest of the first batch of corrupted Tree Spirits …"
"All of us corrupted Tree Spirits are afraid of it and do not dare to approach the Grand Seo Prefecture. It did not attack us either …"
Grand Seo Prefecture?
Hayashi River nodded slightly. From the memory fragment of the corrupted Tree Spirit, he had seen the existence of corrupted Tree Spirits in the Grand Seo Prefecture.
He did not expect it to be one of the first batch of corrupted Tree Spirits …
The light on his forehead gradually disappeared. Hayashi River rubbed his forehead and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Mossy Bone and the others looked over. They were all a little curious about Hayashi River's expression.
This young Mechanic rarely showed such an expression. Usually, he would only show such an expression when he encountered a difficult problem.
This kind of thing was very rare. Mossy Bone and Hayashi River had known each other for so long, but they had only seen it a few times …
Especially now, when the strength of their side had expanded to an astonishing level.
It was not an exaggeration to say that with the strength they had now, it would not be a problem for them to go against an empire.
"Something terrible is probably going to happen in the Grand Seo Prefecture …"
Hayashi River frowned. When he heard about the corrupted Tree Spirit in the Grand Seo Prefecture, he felt a sharp pain in his forehead. This kind of sign meant big trouble.
Now, the combat strength they had was still enough to alert the Eye of Wisdom that it was very dangerous there. One could imagine how great the danger was.
In his heart, Hayashi River did not want to care about the Grand Seo Prefecture. As for the people he was familiar with there, he could inform them to leave first.
However, from the Eye of Wisdom's sign, Hayashi River vaguely understood that this trip to the Grand Seo Prefecture was a must.
Moreover, the sign indicated that he had to hurry there as soon as possible …
This was the first time that the Eye of Wisdom had sent a clear suggestion to Hayashi River after obtaining the Stone Orb's ability.
This was definitely not a small matter …
"There should be a huge change in the Grand Seo Prefecture …"
Hayashi River sighed and said in a serious tone.
The expressions of Mossy Bone and the others changed. They already had some understanding of Hayashi River's various mysterious abilities. Since Hayashi River said so, the huge change in the Grand Seo Prefecture might cause a huge disaster.
The Grand Seo Prefecture was the Imperial Capital of the Sea-Ao Empire. If there was a huge change there, it meant that the entire Sea-Ao Empire would experience a huge earthquake …
"I hate this kind of trouble that I have to deal with and can't get out of!" Hayashi River sighed and could not help but curse.
Mossy Bone and the others laughed. Seeing this young Mechanic scolding someone like that was something new to them.
"Let's go to the Grand Seo Prefecture together! I've always wanted to go there … "
"I've heard Cromwell talk about the Grand Seo Prefecture and describe how beautiful it is. It's a good time to see it …"
Mossy Bone said.
Six Arms, on the other hand, held a huge saber and expressed his determination to follow in Hayashi River's footsteps. The creatures of the Dark Shadow Tribe had a long-standing grudge against the Imperial Knights. It was a good time to go there and compete with them.
The pure Tree Spirit was a little resistant. It did not want to go to the Grand Seo Prefecture. It would be too dangerous for it if the first batch of polluted Tree Spirits were there.
"Your Excellency Tree Spirit, you can just send a wisp of your consciousness there …" Hayashi River said.
There had been little progress in the research on reversing the polluted Tree Spirits in the past seven days. However, there were still some clues.
If there was a way to reverse the polluted Tree Spirits in the Grand Seo Prefecture, Hayashi River would be willing to see this pure Tree Spirit as the main body.
"I'll send a clone to the Grand Seo Prefecture. I have a feeling that we have to go there …" the pure Tree Spirit said.
Beep, beep, beep …
In the crystal box, the [Moon Core] increased its power and completely sealed this consciousness …
"Owner, in two more days, the fortress will be completely repaired. Activate the cloaking device and fly to the sky above the Grand Seo Prefecture …"
The [Moon Core] was also very excited. As the core of the war artificial intelligence, it felt that this fortress was tailor-made for it.
As a result, during this period of time, the restoration of the Mausoleum Fortress was more focused on the Armament System.
…
In a secret place in the Great Eastern Continent.
This place was located near the coast of the White Nightmare Sea, in a hidden valley.
If one opened the map, they would find that this place was not on the map at all. Not only that, this place was shrouded in fog all year round. Any living creatures that approached this place would lose their way.
When the lost creatures came back to their senses, they would usually be near the coast, in a town, or by the sea …
Although this was strange, there had not been any accidents over the years. No one had mysteriously disappeared or died because of this …
Therefore, as time passed, the locals rarely set foot in the vicinity and maintained a respectful attitude.
After all, in this world, there were too many phenomena that could not be explained by common sense …
At this moment, the valley was glowing. A huge glowing pattern appeared in the center of the valley. It flickered continuously and circulated with incomparably shocking waves.
"Boom …"
The huge pattern dimmed, but the ground changed. The surface of the ground kept sinking, and a huge pit appeared.
A rotten smell sprayed out, and with a bang, a figure dashed out from the pit and quickly dashed out of the valley.
The next moment, a terrifying suction force came from the huge pit, sucking in everything around it. With another bang, the ground returned to its original state. The huge pattern flickered for a while before completely disappearing.
"Hehehe … Hahaha …"
The figure stood at the top of the valley and watched the pit slowly disappear. He let out a carefree laugh, and then could not help but laugh maniacally …
"I'm out, I'm finally out …"
"These damned fellows schemed against me and trapped me for so long. I won't let you off …"
The figure cursed and flickered. When he appeared again, he was already a thousand meters away. He dashed into a deep pool in the distance and wantonly washed off the filth on his body.
There was no lack of terrifying monsters in the deep pool, but they were all slapped to death by this figure with a raise of his hand. After skinning them and removing their bones, the figure sprang ashore.
He wrapped a few large leaves around his body, and with a slap of his palm, the rock that was as hard as metal became as hot as a furnace. Then, he roasted the corpses of the two monsters and ate them heartily.
"Delicious, too delicious … This is the world's meat! What the f * ck … You bastards, you better still be alive. Otherwise, I'll break the rules of life and make sure your descendants don't have a good life … "
"Bah … I'm a nobleman, I can't curse like this. F * ck … after being locked in that place for so long, it's normal for me to curse a little …"
As he muttered, the person finished eating the meat of the two monsters. His figure flashed again and disappeared.
Not long after, this person wandered around the small seaside town, conveniently picking up two sets of clothes and visiting the buildings in the rich district. When he appeared again, he had already become a handsome middle-aged man with a small mustache. As he looked around, he had a different kind of temperament.
Standing in front of the light screen of the shopping mall and watching the news broadcast, the middle-aged man's eyes stared blankly, stunned by the date.
"It's actually … almost 3160 of the Alliance Calendar …"
The middle-aged man could not help but scream, causing many beauties around him to secretly shake their heads. They had originally been secretly paying attention to this handsome uncle, but they did not expect that there was something wrong with his brain …
