() With a bang, the air vibrated. Bai Yi and Sarelli collided in the air. Bai Yi made a drag in Tai Chi. Sarelli suddenly felt a huge force coming from him, and then flew out. . The group of people immediately split into two groups, with Bai Yi and Sarelli falling right in the middle.
"Bai Yi, what do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Bai Yi said calmly.
"Of course I picked this fruit. This kind of fruit with unknown effects must be handed over." Sarelli said matter-of-factly.
At this time, Mavis realized that the more than ten people who came here were not a team. Previously, Mavis thought the others were other companions Bai Yi had found during this period. And, turn it in? Could it be that Bai Yi and the others have merged into some large force? It doesn't look like that. Bai Yi is not that kind of person.
Bai Yi took a look at the fruit inside the crack. Like a heart, seven dry stems stretched out from different directions in the crack and were connected to it. Bai Yi was thinking about whether to have a problem with the United Nations for this thing, but at this time, Momo watched the fruit and walked slowly over. How to put it, if others instinctively feel that this weird fruit is extremely precious, then Momo feels that this fruit is indispensable to herself.
Momo jumped up slightly and picked the fruit.
Momo's actions alarmed everyone, and everyone immediately tensed up, but this time, no one stopped her again. In the eyes of a group of people in Sarelli, Bai Yi would definitely hand over the fruit and let them take it away.
Momo lightly grasped the edge of the crack with her left hand, and stretched her right hand towards the fruit. As soon as Momo grabbed the fruit with her right hand, the fruit automatically fell off from the seven stems. No wonder Mavis asked them to collect this fruit first. It was obviously completely ripe. If it were left for a while, it would probably fall to the ground on its own.
"Give us this fruit, and this soul-releasing tree. Although it is dead, we still have to take it away." Sarelli said.
However, to everyone's surprise, Momo grabbed the heart-like fruit and bit into it. This heart-like fruit suddenly emitted a stream of black smoke from where Momo bit it open. But it was said to be smoke, but it didn't disperse, it just looked like smoke. And the place where the pulp should have been is like a dark void, as if it wants to suck in all the sight.
Everyone looked at Momo's behavior in shock. Does Momo know what kind of fruit this is? Impossible, Bai Yi knew, they had never seen this kind of fruit before. However, Sarelli and the others thought that Bai Yi and the others knew what it was and that it was a very precious thing, so they let Momo eat it directly.
"What are you doing!" Sarelli immediately rushed toward Momo.
This time it was not just Sarelli who took action, but several other people in their team also took action. But unfortunately, in a moment of confrontation, all the people were blocked instantly. Bai Yi, Shapi, Pupu, Nancy, and Ulises blocked the people on Salelli's side instantly.
Momo still ate the fruit one bite at a time.
"Bai Yi!" Sarelli yelled angrily.
However, Bai Yi was not moved at all, but looked at Momo quietly. Yes, many of the animals and plants on Devil's Island are completely unknown. But after entering level 2, you will have an inexplicable feeling. For example, the fruit that Woolf found before, and the huge smelly bomb fruit that Pupu discovered, when he has a strong need, he will form an inexplicable reaction to these things.
Momo's energy belongs to the soul, and this fruit grows from the soul-releasing tree. Bai Yi doesn't believe it if it doesn't matter.
I just didn't expect that Momo would eat this weird fruit so directly. However, this also convinced Bai Yi and the others that this fruit was very important to Momo.
Sarelli and the others are very strong. After all, they need to take the Soul-Releasing Wood out. This is their most important and only task. However, when facing Bai Yi and the others, Sarelli weighed it and felt that there was no chance of winning. In fact, as long as Bai Yi is still here, they can't do it. In that battle between evolved humans and experimental subjects, Bai Yi's fighting power made many people feel deeply oppressed.
"Bai Yi, you have to think clearly about what you are doing now." Sarelli said.
"Of course I know what I'm doing. What the United Nations wants is the Soul-Releasing Wood. The condition I agreed to is to help you obtain the Soul-Release Wood. Others don't count." Bai Yi had a soft smile on his face. Regarding Salelli's The threat was not taken seriously at all.
"you… !"
Sarelli wanted to say something, but restrained himself. The fruits have all been eaten, and they can't win. And just like Bai Yi said, their mission is to bring the soul-releasing wood back, not anything else. "Okay, that's it, I will report everything truthfully."
"Yeah." Bai Yi nodded lightly.
The tense atmosphere between the two sides gradually eased. Mavis also roughly understood what was going on from the conversation between the two parties. It turned out that Bai Yi and the others were now cooperating with the United Nations. After calming down, both sides looked at Momo, wondering what the mysterious fruit would do after eating it.
Momo ate the last bit of fruit and then licked her lips.
"How about it?"
"I don't know. Feeling is important, but I don't feel anything after eating it." Momo replied.
This answer surprised everyone, as they didn't feel anything at all. Everyone thought...what did they think, to suddenly turn into an elemental body, or become a rubber man, or become a ghost? Bai Yi couldn't help but cover his forehead and burst into laughter. Really, why did he think of that anime a long time ago? This is not the devil fruit in it.
"It doesn't matter, I guess the reaction won't be that fast." Bai Yi said. After finishing speaking, Bai Yi looked at Mavis.
"It seems that you have been through a lot." Meiwei Si saw Bai Yi looking over and said.
"Well, I did go through a lot." Bai Yi nodded. "What happened here? How could it be like this?"
"Shortly after you left, fighting broke out outside Wellington, and several buildings collapsed due to the fighting. From that time on, it seemed as if a gap had been created. The scope of the ghost town was gradually shrinking, returning to a normal environment. Because We cannot exist in an ordinary environment for a long time and will gradually dissipate. Therefore, all souls, whether they are ordinary ghosts or evil spirits, gradually move towards the center." After hearing Bai Yi's question, Meiwei Si couldn't help but start to explain.
Everyone listened attentively, even Sarelli and the others. This was a rare opportunity to learn something they had never known before.
"The closer you move towards the center, the closer you are to the Soul Release Tree. As you know, the Soul Release Tree has a strong attraction to ghosts. Continuously, both evil spirits and ghosts are gradually attracted to it, completely Disappeared. After absorbing a large number of souls, the Soul-Release Tree grew more and more lush. However, one day it rained and the Soul-Release Tree was struck by lightning, causing a crack."
"Since then, the Soul-Release Tree has gradually become withered and yellow. We thought the Soul-Release Tree was struck to death by lightning. However, after a while, we discovered a strange fruit growing from the place where it was struck by lightning. After that, the scope of the ghost city continued to shrink, and more and more souls were sucked into the soul-releasing tree. The soul-releasing tree became more and more withered and yellow, and the fruit became more and more mature, until it was picked by Momo just now." Mei Wei. Si objectively explained the changes in Wellington. Do not add any of your own opinions to avoid misleading Bai Yi and the others.
"Absorb the fruits of soul growth?"
"What happened after being struck by lightning?"
"I don't know about that." Mavis said with a smile. It does appear to be the case on the surface, but whether it is the case or not cannot be confirmed.
"That's it. It turns out so many things happened." Bai Yi nodded.
"What are you doing here?" Mavis asked.
"The United Nations needs the branches of the Soul-Release Tree. We found that when you die, if there are such branches around you, the soul will be sucked into the branches of the Soul-Release Tree and will not dissipate. Whether it can be resurrected is not yet said, but in any case One, so that group of people attaches great importance to this thing." Bai Yi said.
"So this is ah."
"But it's just right. Fortunately, I came back in time. Starting from today, I will return to the team." Bai Yi said to Mavis.
"Um."
"So, what do you plan to do with this soul-releasing tree?" Bai Yi asked Sarelli.
"Of course it was chopped off."
"To be precise, this tree is more than three meters in diameter and more than 30 meters high. How much can you take away?"
Everyone looked at the soul-releasing tree. Previously, the United Nations only wanted some branches. After all, it is self-evident how precious the soul-releasing tree is. Even a fool would not cut down the tree. But now that the tree is dead, there is no need to be so scrupulous. However, it is absolutely impossible to take such a big tree away at once.
"Cut that branch first." Sarelli hesitated and pointed to a forked branch. Although dead, the Soul Release Tree is still very huge. They have no decision-making power on what to do with this precious tree, so they should first follow the instructions from the United Nations and take a section of the branch back.
Bai Yi took out the red kiss and waved a few knives directly in the air. The air cut through and the branches that Salelli mentioned fell down immediately. Each section was about two meters long and was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, divided into three sections. Because it was dead, there were only a few branches, so there was no need to tidy it up.
