When Lin Tuo lowered his altitude and passed over the vast forest, those plants with pale branches suddenly seemed to wake up from their slumber.
In an instant, countless branches stretched out, like ghostly arms, rolling towards Lin Tuo in the sky, as if to pull him down.
"This is..." Lin Tuo's eyes flickered, and while he was breathing, the ether in his body condensed into tiny beams of sword light, slashing in all directions, and the plants broke apart one after another.
Remnants of limbs and broken arms fell like rain.
These trees didn't feel any pain, and continued to move forward. It wasn't until Lin Tuo tried to increase the distance that their "activity" gradually decreased.
When Lin Tuo raised the height by 100 meters, the entire forest returned to silence, as if the scene just now had never happened.
"Did it automatically attack when it sensed life? No, there are similar plants near the battleship in front, but they didn't respond. Is it because the plants growing in different areas have different personalities, or..."
Lin Tuo thought about it, and suddenly had an idea. He sketched a "concealed breath" spell model in his mind, which could be used to hide the etheric fluctuations generated when he was flying.
Then, he landed again and found that those trees no longer attacked.
Although there will be some signs of recovery, it is very slow, more like hibernating snakes, Lin Tuo will hardly disturb them as soon as he flies past.
And as Lin Tuo approached the surface, he finally found some traces of life and civilization:
In this forest, there are some large animal bones, as well as some collapsed and simple houses.
"Could it be that these plants killed all life?" Lin Tuo vaguely had a guess, and his heart throbbed.
You know, he just observed roughly, similar plants are spread all over the earth, considering that the whole planet was white when he took a quick glance at it.
Does it not mean that similar plants cover a huge planet
That would be astonishing.
Just as he was thinking, Lin Tuo noticed that the concentration of ether around him suddenly rose to another level, and the source of energy was ahead.
He hurriedly restrained his thoughts, his mental power covered all directions, and sword lights swam around him like fish.
Finally, in the depths of this dense forest where the edge cannot be seen, a huge open space appeared.
Lin Tuo also saw clearly what was happening.
I saw that it was a lake in the depths of the dense forest, but the surface of the lake seemed to have been frozen into ice, and around the ice lake were countless white branches that were frozen by the frost, protruding towards the center.
And in the middle of the lake, there is a huge ice cube the size of a rockery!
The ice cube is in the shape of a hexagon, and under the sun, it looks like a giant diamond, reflecting light.
Inside the ice cube was a familiar figure:
The upper body resembles a human figure, with light blue skin, shawl and long hair, male and female, and each holding a short steel fork in both hands.
On the lower body are eight fat tentacles that look like octopuses.
Motionless, like a worm in amber.
That spirit world lord!
Octopus!
Lin Tuo was taken aback. Of course he still remembered seeing this guy in the spirit world when he was passing by here just a month ago.
The two sides had a brief conversation, and Lin Tuo persuaded it to pay attention to the danger, but he never thought that it has been a month, and they met again.
It wasn't the only one in the ice, but opposite it, there was a strange white petunia-like flower surrounded by a mysterious aura.
At this moment, countless ethers are pouring in from all directions, penetrating into the flower, the halo is getting bigger and bigger, cracks appear on the surface of the ice block, it seems that it will break apart at any moment.
"What's the situation?" Lin Tuo felt a little confused.
At this time, the eyes of the "Eight Claws" sealed in the ice shrank, obviously noticing Lin Tuo's arrival, and in an instant, a spiritual force swept over:
"It's you!"
The tone is surprised.
Lin Tuo stopped and floated on the icy lake with a strange expression: "Hi, I didn't expect to meet again. Uh, can I ask what's going on?"
"Eight Claws" stared, unable to tell whether it was vigilance or excitement:
"You... why... are you back?"
Lin Tuo grinned, spread his hands and said:
"Let me explain first, I'm not trying to grab something from you, we said this last time.
We were purely accidental this time. After finishing our work, we returned the same way, and ended up walking in the spirit world. Suddenly, a large amount of ether flowed in, tearing open the crack in space, and I fell in. "
"..." Bazhuo's eyes widened even wider, but he didn't doubt the authenticity of Lin Tuo's statement, and just sighed, "Then you are really unlucky."
Lin Tuo: "..."
Seeing his silence, Bazhuo's tone suddenly became anxious:
"It's not important, help me quickly, take this flower down, I can't hold it anymore, when it breaks free, not only me, but you will also suffer!"
"So, you froze this piece of ice?" Lin Tuo looked suspiciously: "What's going on? If you don't explain clearly, I can't help you."
While speaking, he tried to activate the nightmare ability to cover his surroundings.
Bazhuo seemed to be very weak, and he didn't know if he had noticed Lin Tuo's small movements, so he explained quickly:
"Okay, I know, you won't be relieved if you don't make it clear. In fact, the matter is very simple. Last time, after you left, I waited in the spirit world for a while, and the ether return finally ended, and I entered this planet smoothly. .”
"And discovered that the planet had been killed.
As you said at the beginning, it's very weird... I tried to research and found that there should have been an ignorant and low-level civilization on this planet not long ago, but it was destroyed.
Not only the advanced intelligent life here, even the ordinary life was killed. "
"Those white plants that cover the entire planet, oceans and land, will attack and absorb energy after sensing energy at a certain distance nearby. This is also the reason why almost all large life forms are killed."
"I guess, this should be caused by a spiritual light group accidentally entering this world, thus giving birth to a powerful extraordinary item, but now that the entire planet is almost dead, its danger level should have also been reduced."
Speaking of this, Bazhuo paused, and his tone was a little embarrassed:
"So, I searched all the way, and finally found the item here, which is the source of those white plants. It was already asleep at the time, and I wanted to absorb it."
Lin Tuo listened patiently: "And then? How did it become like this?"
Eight claws said: "... As soon as I approached it, it was suddenly activated."
"What do you mean?" Lin Tuo expressed doubts.
The octopus that was frozen in the ice went all out and explained:
"I figured out later that it's activated by exposure to water.
As long as the flower absorbs enough water, it will activate its ability to crazily absorb energy in a short period of time, and use the plants to attack the life in the range madly, and my ability is related to water... "
"I see." Lin Tuo sighed, his expression became very exciting.
Of course he still remembered the scene when he first saw the octopus.
This guy turned into a large piece of sea water in the spirit world, splashing in it...
It is conceivable that after entering the material world, he should also unscrupulously use the relevant abilities to fight against those plants, and the result is so small...
Activated the Transcendent White Flower, which was already dead.
"It seems that you are more unlucky than me." Lin Tuo said from the bottom of his heart.
Bazhuo was silent for a while, did not answer, but continued:
"Fortunately, my reaction was fast enough to try to freeze the liquid into ice, temporarily imprisoning it, but it also releases heat all the time, trying to melt...
I can't leave, I can only stay here.
And just now, it has accumulated some strength and tried to carry out a round of struggle... Let me tell you, I really can't hold on if you stand by and watch! "
Speaking of this, the light source around the extraordinary flower sealed in the ice cube expanded again and became brighter.
The spirit lord's aura had obviously weakened, and the entire ice block showed signs of melting, and the trees around the ice lake began to stir.
"Then what should I do?" Lin Tuo asked.
He wasn't too worried about Bazhuo's lying. Firstly, the other party was within his nightmare range at the moment, so he should respond to lying.
Secondly, even in the heyday of the Octopus, Lin Tuo was not afraid of it, let alone the current situation...
What's more, Lin Tuo himself has the evolution sand table by his side, and he has not forgotten that the evolution sand table has a miraculous effect on dealing with this kind of item.
"Attack! Whether it's spirituality or pure energy, when I lift the seal and you attack it, its body is not strong, and after long-term consumption, it has become extremely weak!
If it wasn't that I couldn't hold it anymore, and I wouldn't need you, as long as I support it for a few more rounds, it will be mine... "
While Bazhuo was thinking, his eyelids began to fight, and his body showed signs of weakness.
Lin Tuo: "Let me think about it, you wait."
As he spoke, he made a thoughtful expression.
A minute passed.
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Chaofan Baihua seemed to break out of the ice in the next second, and the octopus finally collapsed, screaming:
"Have you made up your mind?! I can't hold it anymore! If you continue to do this, let's all die together!"
Lin Tuo blinked: "I'm fine."
He was procrastinating on purpose, wanting to see the quality of this octopus, but he didn't expect it to be such a piece of rubbish...
"Open it!" Hearing this, Bazhuo's whole body radiated light, and the huge solid ice disintegrated in an instant!
Along with it, the entire frozen lake surface melted into water, and the eight tentacles swiped across the water, turned their heads and fled to the distance!
Leaving behind a flower soaked in water, Ye Ye shines brightly.
"A dead fellow Taoist is not a poor daoist, I'll wait for you in the spirit world!" Bazhuo ran away after saying a word.
There was no surprise in Lin Tuo's eyes, he casually threw a sword light towards Bazhuo, and at the same time, with the other hand, he squeezed the finger of the sword, and instantly slashed at the white flower that was already staring at him!
Did not stay behind!
Come up, that's all you can do!
Thanks to the super-long ether reserve given by the evolution sand table, Lin Tuo has a lot of points in his body at the moment, and the burst of attack is even more ferocious.
"ah-"
"laugh-"
Bazhuo's screams and the sound of the white flower's stem being cut were heard at the same time. In the next second, the inner spirituality of the already weak supernatural object was dim, and Lin Tuo raised his hand and grabbed it without paying attention.
In my mind, a familiar voice appeared:
[Extraordinary item detected, do you want to analyze it?]
"yes!"
[… analysis completed]
Attribute: Destruction-level Extraordinary Item "Flower of Scale"
Rating: Superior
Status: Spiritually erased, consciousness dissipated
Ability: The Unsullied Flower is always thirsty, and when it encounters water, it is joyful. It can strongly absorb ether from the surrounding spiritual world to strengthen itself, and absorb all nutrients and water sources with the help of differentiated plants.
When it loses its target for a period of time and has no supplement, it will fall into a state of thirst and deep sleep.
Negative effect (weakened): It will instinctively attack the life within the range
Additional information: Tip, placing it within the range of flame baking can inhibit the growth of negative effects
