A circle of mottled and complicated patterns covered the surface of the fruit. Yarlin's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart thumped. "Devil Fruit."
The trunk was one meter high, and the branches were like open palms. There was a lonely fruit hanging on one of the branches. Yarlin walked over and raised his hand to touch the devil fruit. He felt a dry and gray feeling. It was as if the whole flesh of the devil fruit had been sucked out, leaving only the withered skin.
"Slippery fruit, is it because it has been swallowed by the broodmother? What will happen if it swallows another devil fruit? Will the tree bear another fruit?"
He didn't get an answer from the broodmother. Obviously, the devil fruit was also a new thing for the broodmother. Now it was only at the stage of exploring and understanding. The purpose of this thing in front of him was temporarily unknown.
Slightly disappointed, Ya Erlin glanced to his right. There seemed to be some kind of living creature brewing within the black mist. Its obscure form was changing, as if it was waiting for the final step of debugging.
"Broodmother guard: The companion of the broodmother's evolution. It is a strange species born after the broodmother instilled a huge amount of vitality. It has different abilities because of its core. Only one guard can accompany it at each stage of evolution."
A line of information appeared in Yarlin's mind, and Astu's voice echoed in his mind at the same time. Yarlin narrowed his eyes and took out two items from his pocket. A strange coin and a withered tree the size of a baby's fist.
These two items had unknown meanings. Because they were small, Yarlin had been carrying them with him. At this moment, he put the coin back into his pocket and only pinched the black tree seed on his fingertips.
Tree Seed: A dead tree seed can be given vitality by the broodmother and become the core of the broodmother guard.
Yarlin's fingertips gently tossed the tree seed into the changing black fog in front of him. The next second, the space seemed to be frozen. Countless black fog like bloodthirsty ants rushed madly into the tree seed. With a crisp sound, the tree seed split open. Countless branches broke out from the inside of the tree seed and grew wildly. The black fog on the yellow branches formed a strange pattern. It was like a bloodline pattern inscribed on the branches.
In front of Yarlin, a group of strange tree roots intertwined with each other, and soon gradually rose from the ground and converged into a solid human figure.
The three-meter-tall humanoid creature was formed by yellow tree roots. Black blood flowed in the roots. Its face was withered and wrinkled like tree bark. Then a layer of strange skin covered its body, but Yarlin knew that it was just a layer of camouflage. Under the skin was a group of entangled branches.
"Broodmother guard: Tree roots!"
All sorts of chaotic information gathered in his mind. Yarlin narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, I'll stay in the broodmother and guard it for the time being."
The roots strangely split from the middle, the countless branches stabbing into the carpet and quickly hiding inside the broodmother nest. If he didn't have a mental connection, he wouldn't have been able to sense the terrifying killing machine hidden in the surroundings just by relying on his vision and perception.
After leaving the broodmother's nest and returning to the surface, the hole in the ground was quickly sealed up by the black fungus. Although it looked a little strange, at least no one would be able to see the frightening empty space below at first glance.
Oh, and one last thing worth mentioning was that apart from the original Devour, Absorb, and Convert abilities, Yarlin had also gained a new ability: Share!
Share: Share the information of any slave's five senses. No distance limit. Irreplaceable control.
Of course, the evolved abilities and newly unlocked abilities were only explained through the information that appeared in his mind. He couldn't directly experience them. He still needed to put them into practice.
Two months passed quickly.
The building was refurbished, the branches and trees around it were leveled and covered with a ring-shaped building. This is the prison built inside the 153rd branch of the Marine, the entrance and exit are guarded by the Marines, the security is tight.
It was claimed to be a place for the pirates captured by the branch, but the real reason was to cover the broodmother's underground.
At this moment, the newly built prison was holding the first batch of guests.
In order to cater to the atmosphere that a prison should have, the lights in the entire prison were dim, and the color of the surrounding walls was also cold and dark gray. The cells on both sides of the corridor were divided into square rooms, which were locked with narrow iron doors.
Inside the cell, there were bunk beds, a shared sink, and a squat toilet. These were all standard facilities of the prison, so there was nothing to elaborate on. The only thing that needed to be mentioned was that at an inconspicuous position under the bunk bed that was welded to the corner of the wall, there was a hole the size of a pinky finger that was specially reserved. The hole was connected to the wall, and the holes inside the wall were connected through a thin slit that extended all the way to a dark space deep underground.
At this moment, the innermost cells of the prison have been put into use. Lieutenant Colonel Lippa and a group of about 20 Marines who followed the rebellion some time ago were all imprisoned here.
Because the cells were empty, two people were locked in a cell. The per capita living space was quite considerable. But their expressions showed that they were still not very satisfied.
"What is Yarlin going to do to us?" Li Pa, who had unkempt hair and a dirty face, had a beard growing all over his face, and was emitting a faint sour smell from all over his body, was slapping the prison door with all his strength and yelling with all his might, "Either kill us, or let us out!"
In the cold corridor, several patrolling Marines looked at each other. No one paid attention to Lippa. Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the corridor.
Li Pa sat paralyzed on the ground in despair. After a long while, the sound of the cell door lock turning suddenly entered his ears. He suddenly got up from the ground with a start.
"This prison took a little longer than I expected, so I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Yarlin's cold face appeared at the door of the cell. He waved his hand and the guard who opened the door saluted and left.
Lippa stared at Yarlin. He opened his mouth but suddenly found that he didn't know what to say. Should he let him kill him or let him go?
"I'll take you to visit this prison!" Yarlin glanced at Lippa. His eyes flashed with a dark light. He said: "After all, I intend to let you take care of this prison in the future."
"You're dreaming!" Lippa coldly snorted.
"Oh, don't speak too early." Yarlin pursed his lips and said: "In short, let's visit the place where you will work for the rest of your life."
