These fruits look very high-end... At least on the surface, and in the opinion of a few other people who don't know the truth, it is indeed so...
Only Chi Xiao himself could tell at a glance that this was not the Gu Yin Duo Fruit.
"Will the true face be revealed?"
Chi Xiao glanced at the slightly ostentatious Xu Le and shook his head slightly.
"Forget it. He hasn't been exposed yet. If he is, we should be able to save him."
As for Xu Le, not only did he pretend to be cool in front of the mother tree, but he also acted quite steadily.
That's right, these three fruits all belong to him, one is the flower fruit from the Soul Tree, and two are the Night Demon Fruits that were produced last night.
None of the three fruits belonged to Gu Yinduo, nor were they sent down from the mother tree. They all survived on their own, and of course there was no smoke surrounding them.
But it's better this way. It's obvious, and the pretentious aura is fully exposed, which can actually intimidate other people.
At this time, even the dwarf who had been talking the most and was the most dissatisfied with Xu Le couldn't help but think:
"This guy... is indeed different from us, a descendant of the mother tree."
The bald old man also looked puzzled:
"Xiong Nuoan's uniqueness remains, so what are these two newcomers? Has the Mother Tree Realm really expanded to 8 people?"
Seeing that everyone had their own thoughts, Chi Xiao felt a little relieved.
At least Xu Le won't be in any strange danger anymore.
"Since everyone has different ideas and we can't come to any conclusion for the time being, do we still need to discuss what happened last night today?"
None of them looked for Xu Le just now, and the originally fragile alliance was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, Chi Xiao brought up the previous negotiation proposal, and everyone hesitated.
Finally, the dwarf came out first:
"Uh, haha, I don't need that. If there's anything new, I should be able to find out by reading the newspaper in a couple of days.
The Kuroshio Tide has just ended and I have other things to do, so I won’t stay here any longer.
Goodbye, everyone. "
The dwarf's departure first also foreshadowed the complete breakdown of the original alliance.
If we want to re-establish this relationship, we may have to cleanse the people of the Mother Tree Realm.
The only person who has this ability is Chi Xiao, but she doesn't have the time and energy.
The person who had this idea was Xu Le, but he didn't have the ability...
So... fried Hu.
"Since there's nothing to say, I'll leave too."
"I'm leaving too."
"Well, bye."
People left one after another, and the newcomer Wang Wei looked at them with a puzzled look.
"Hey, wait, how can we leave this place? Don't leave yet."
No one paid any attention to him, and finally Xu Le spoke up:
"Retreat into the darkness and you will be able to leave this place."
"Retreat into darkness?" Wang Wei was a little hesitant. From the conversations just now, he had already felt his role.
What he and Liu Lan replaced was the ability of the masked man in front of them...
Can you trust his words
Wang Wei looked at Chi Xiao who was sitting on the stone. Seeing Chi Xiao nod slightly, he felt relieved.
"Then I'll leave too."
As Xu Le said, Wang Wei also merged into the darkness, and his figure gradually disappeared in the realm of the mother tree.
In the end, the only people left were Xu Le, Chi Xiao and Liu Lan.
Liu Lan seemed to have something she wanted to communicate with Chi Xiao, so she didn't leave. Needless to say, Xu Le and Chi Xiao also had a lot to talk about.
This is a difficult situation.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Le chose to withdraw voluntarily.
He has the ability to enter the Mother Tree Realm at any time, so there is no need for him to stay here all the time.
Liu Lan was unwilling to leave, but she couldn't kill anyone to silence them in the Mother Tree Realm. If she stayed, it would only arouse her suspicion.
Xu Le slowly walked into the darkness.
But what he didn't know was that this short stay had already attracted Liu Lan's attention.
"Sister Chi Xiao, are you familiar with this masked man?"
Chi Xiao was slightly stunned. This girl's observation skills were indeed very strong.
But from her point of view, she doesn't need to be afraid of being questioned.
"Yes, very familiar, any problem?"
"Uh, no, nothing, I just feel like the other people don't have a very good relationship with him."
"Others? They are all insignificant."
Looking at Chi Xiao's indifferent look, Liu Lan didn't know for a moment what Chi Xiao's status here was.
Let’s leave Xu Le’s matter as it is. The most urgent thing is to understand my own situation clearly first.
"Sister Chi Xiao, I want to know more about this place..."
“It takes a toll.”
"certainly."
Chi Xiao and Liu Lan chatted for quite a while, about 40 minutes. The girl asked many questions about safety in detail.
It seems that he really cares about his own safety.
Chi Xiao didn't hide too much and basically told her everything.
Xu Le didn't actually leave. After entering the darkness, he just covered himself with a layer of dark fog.
With Liu Lan's level of strength, there was naturally no way she could discover Xu Le.
After talking about issues related to survival and safety, Liu Lan finally left.
Chi Xiao also turned his head and looked in Xu Le's direction.
Here, her perception ability far exceeded Xu Le's, and she could easily determine that Xu Le had not left and his specific location.
"Come out."
Xu Le slowly walked out of the darkness and came in front of Chi Xiao.
After everyone left, this place returned to being their world for two people...
Of course, this is the place to talk business.
"Why didn't the big bug come out today?" Xu Le looked in the direction of the mother tree.
Chi Xiao had previously placed an evil god here, and both parties were well aware of this.
When Chi Xiao heard him ask this, he shook his head slightly.
"Killed him."
Xu Le:
"Didn't you say before that leaving that thing here could protect the mother tree? Why did you suddenly kill it again?"
“Now the mother tree has its own ideas and its ability to protect itself is not bad, so it basically does not need special protection from other organisms.
If the bugs stay here, they will only pose an additional threat to you, and may even pose a threat to me when I am practicing.
So I just killed him.”
Chi Xiao's reason was very simple. Xu Le nodded slightly after hearing it.
"Understood."
"Tell me about it." Chi Xiao asked.
When there was no one around, both of them relaxed, or at least much more relaxed than before.
"What?" Xu Le was not asking this question knowing the answer, he just didn't know what to say first.
Chi Xiao actually understood what he meant, so he thought for a while before asking:
"What do you think of the mother tree's condition?"
"Isn't it inappropriate for us to discuss the condition of the mother tree in front of it?" Xu Le glanced at the Guyinduo mother tree with an embarrassed expression.
After all, he was a man abandoned by the mother tree.
The pretense just now... was all based on my own family background.
“The Mother Tree monitors the world and knows what is happening in every corner.
It just used to be able to solve all problems, but now it no longer has this ability."
"I don't know how to put it. Granting a newcomer powerful abilities to replace me? It feels like a child's tantrum.
They also gave newcomers extremely high rewards, which would make others feel strange as well."
What Xu Le said was true, and Chi Xiao understood it.
"I don't know what it's doing. This behavior is stupid, and like you said, it's just like a child's tantrum. It doesn't make any sense."
"Where are the two newcomers?" Xu Le asked.
"That guy is indeed a newbie, and that girl is in disguise." Chi Xiao said with certainty.
"Disguise? There's no power fluctuation on her body. How do you know for sure that she's disguised?"
“Having no power doesn’t mean having no past. She is too calm and all her judgments are correct, but she also has big flaws.
He has practiced before and wants to become a sorcerer, but he is not surprised by the high-level fruit. This is not the normal behavior of a practitioner. "
Xu Le nodded, Chi Xiao’s analysis made sense.
"Since you think she has problems, why are you still trading with her?"
"Just because she has problems doesn't mean the fruit has no value. The Element Fusion Fruit is a big enough bait."
"Bait?" Xu Le looked at Chi Xiao in surprise.
"Yes." Chi Xiao said as he handed the fruit to Xu Le.
Xu Le was even more surprised:
"What are you going to do?"
"I know you have special abilities to process fruits. You have always been special, so... help me get rid of this fruit."
"How to deal with it?"
"Clean it, I want to eat it."
"Um... I'm not capable enough. Are you sure you want me to do it?"
Xu Le felt that this matter was very troublesome and he was really not sure.
However, Chi Xiao just said expressionlessly:
"You still owe me a lot..."
"Okay, I'll take a look later."
"Let's get back to the topic and talk about the mother tree."
After a little thought, Xu Le came up with a question.
"Well, after the incident at the lighthouse, did the mother tree do anything extra?"
"Extra moves? What do you mean?"
“At that time, the mother tree recovered the head of Lightcast, and I absorbed a part of it. But after stripping away the mother tree system, the rules were also left behind.
Although there are still many bodies of the Lightforge left outside, such as the sun in the sky.
But the head is the main part. After recovering the Light Forge, the mother tree must do something. Maybe the stupid things it is doing now are part of it. "
"After retrieving the Lightforge... what will it do?"
Xu Le hesitated.
"The meaning of light casting, glowing?"
"But the sun is still in the sky. According to what you said, it should be able to recycle the sun."
“If the rules are complete, there might not be a need to recycle the sun.
With the remaining power of the mother tree, it should be no problem to illuminate it."
Chi Xiao frowned slightly:
"What will happen if the mother tree takes the initiative to illuminate?"
Xu Le scratched his head:
"If the mother tree could radiate light on its own initiative, then this world... would be free of darkness."
"No darkness?"
Chi Xiao immediately realized what Xu Le was talking about.
With the powerful energy of the mother tree, once it recovers the rules of light, it begins to glow.
Then there will be no more night in this world.
Without the night, the effect of the dark rules will be greatly weakened. Although there will be shadows all over the world, the dark rules will still exist in the shadows.
But compared to the past, in a world with eternal daylight, the power of darkness will indeed be weakened to the extreme.
At the same time, Red Moon was also weakened.
The Spirit of the Red Moon usually takes effect at night. Once it is always daytime, the influence of the Spirit of the Red Moon on all living things on earth will also be greatly reduced.
This move weakened both the Red Moon Temple and the Night Fury at the same time, which was truly a win-win situation for the Ancient Sound Mother Tree that had lost everything.
"Eternal daylight?"
"This is just my guess. Whether the mother tree will do this or when it will start doing this is still unknown."
"No, there is a conclusion..." Chi Xiao said suddenly.
"Um, what do you mean?"
"I can feel the fluctuations of the mother tree's energy. It's nurturing something, but I can't tell what it is."
"Growing something? Could it be a permanent sun?"
"Not sure..."
Seeing that Chi Xiao had no answer, Xu Le frowned slightly.
After eternal daylight, his power will be greatly affected. Under the light, it will be difficult to continue to spread the power of darkness.
And just like the red moon, no one knows whether the light regained under the mother tree has the power to pollute.
For example, the Red Moon Spirit's pollution of the earth and the light of the Mother Tree, will there appear a spirit called the Spirit of Light, or a similar power
After going through so many things, Xu Le no longer wanted to be controlled by the mother tree.
"Has there ever been a body of light cast sealed inside the city of Tianrui Lifeng?" Xu Le suddenly asked.
"Yes, it's the limbs. What do you think of?"
“The bugs last night appeared very suddenly.
It does not appear at normal times, but happens to appear during the Kuroshio period and covers the same time period.
In terms of time ratio, this may be only about 1 in 400.
Could it be such a coincidence? "
"Go on."
"Do you think there is a possibility that the bugs last night were summoned by the mother tree?"
Chi Xiao did not deny this possibility. Last night, the puppet's carriers, the angels of sin, all appeared.
And Xu Le also has the special attention of Night Fury.
Obviously, the appearance of bugs is not a normal occurrence.
"If it is true that the mother tree summoned creatures from the outside world, then it can only mean one thing."
"Um?"
“It’s crazy.”
"Where is Tianrui Lifeng's light-forged body? Is there any way to dig it out, destroy it, recycle it, or something like that?"
Xu Le looked hopeful. It also had some Lightforging power, but it was too little...
If part of the Lightcast can be recycled, can the characteristics of the Soul Tree grow a little bit
"You want it?" Chi Xiao asked directly.
"It's better to let me recycle it than to recycle the mother tree, right?"
In front of Chi Xiao, Xu Le felt that there was nothing to hide.
Chi Xiao frowned slightly and looked at Xu Le with some worry.
What she was worried about was not Xu Le wanting to recycle his light-forged body, but Xu Le after recycle his light-forged body...
"Okay, I'll help you."
…
Somewhere in Tianrui Lifeng.
Zhang Ji directly broke off Xu Daqiang's head. He held the Ash Fruit in his hand with a playful expression.
"It seems that the goddess of luck has favored me again."
As he said this, he bit into the fruit, and a strange, strong heat instantly filled his body.
Then... its ears moved.
Buzz buzz buzz!
