Chapter 180 Life
Cleo still stared at the huge plant in the distance, and introduced the fruit of life he knew.
Only then did Ethan understand that the so-called Fruit of Life looks like a little man holding a fruit, and the little man holding up below really just looks like it, with a vague outline of a human being.
But the human shape in front of him is already very clear. Anyone who sees it knows that this is a plant, and will describe it as a 'human-like plant'. It has the head and torso it should have, but the legs seem to be Together, it is more inclined to look like a normal plant rooted in the ground.
"I don't know if it's an illusion?"
After quietly observing for a while, Ethan always felt as if he was being watched by something.
"That thing seems to be looking at us?"
Logan and Cleo stared at it for a long time and didn't notice any reaction from the strange plant, but they couldn't ignore Ethan's judgment, so they had to be more cautious, staring at the thing in the distance. .
"What do we do now?"
They wanted to explore the island to see what was on the island, and now that they have found it, the core of the island is obviously this plant? So what's next?
"Let's see what this thing is."
After quietly observing for a while, nothing strange happened. On the ground, I was still attacked by perceptual interference and some energy. After arriving here, Ethan found that the perceptual interference disappeared, and the energy of the amulet no longer continued to decline. , This discovery allows him to observe quietly by the side, rather than rushing to the front of the plant.
Staying vigilant and getting closer, Ethan doesn't think he can relax without that kind of weird interference, maybe facing a more terrifying threat.
Not to mention whether this thing is actually the fruit of life that Cleo spoke of, and even if it were that? When it grows to such a huge size, either the Fruit of Life itself has abilities that no one knows about, or some strange mutation has occurred, any of which brings unknown threats, and it is not wrong to be careful.
It is precisely because of their cautiousness that they avoided the first sudden attack.
"Jump back!"
Time was running out and he couldn't even remind everyone where the threat came from. Ethan directly gave a solution.
Several people, including Cleo, jumped back with all their strength the moment they heard Ethan's instructions, and almost at the same moment when they left the ground, a few sharp vines broke out, almost rubbing a few. The individual stabs straight upwards.
"Keep going!"
After landing, he didn't stop, still following Ethan's instructions to dodge back, and once again successfully dodged another attack.
"To the right!"
Under normal circumstances, ordinary people would always dodge backwards, but this time Ethan suddenly asked everyone to turn to the right. Fortunately, several people were very quick to react, and no one was injured by the vines that suddenly changed the attack mode because of their inability to respond. .
Looking at the sturdy vines that broke through the ground but did not continue to move straight forward, but instead drew an arc, like an arch bridge, the thick vines plunged into the soil again, Cleo only felt that there seemed to be some cold sweat on his forehead, the attack of these plants The way revealed a certain wisdom, the previous two attacks seemed to be deliberately under the cover, in order to be the lore this time.
"This thing has wisdom?"
It's not just Cleo who can see this. Logan, who is experienced in combat, can of course see it, but Ethan can't answer them now. He is carefully feeling all the energy fluctuations and predicting the next attack.
But after waiting for a while, I found that the biggest energy fluctuation appeared on that plant.
"It seems that he understands that this method has no effect on us, and is ready to change to a more powerful one."
It seems inappropriate to use it now. Ethan discovered that the plant that 'looked' like a human actually opened his eyes. The green pupils exuded wisdom, and clearly told everyone present that this was a man with wisdom. the living body.
"Humans, you are watching life!"
Ethan noticed that this sentence was not sent out through the other person's mouth like a human being, but sounded directly in the minds of everyone. He was using mental power to create a spiritual link and send the information directly to everyone's brain.
This is not a good phenomenon, which means that this thing has a very strong mental ability. Considering the various mental disturbances on this island before, perhaps bringing a companion to fight this existence is a wrong choice.
He took out all the amulets in his hand and distributed them to Logan and Cleo. He wanted to ensure that his teammates would not suddenly launch fatal attacks on him during the battle.
As for himself? Even if there is no amulet, he still has the means to defend against mental attacks, but this method is not as convenient as the amulet.
Taking out the Book of Inheritance, Ethan unfolded the book. With Ethan possessing his own magic power, the speed of constructing the magic circle became much faster, and he completed a defensive magic circle almost instantly and applied it to his own. body.
Logan and Cleo only saw that after Ethan took out a heavy book, the open pages of the book kept showing complex patterns, and finally condensed into a very beautiful and complex blue color of disc makeup. The energy body then expanded and rose to the top of Ethan's head, and then slowly fell.
When the disc fell, there was a circle of mysterious characters around Ethan's head. The characters were connected into a ring-like light band, floating on Ethan's forehead and slowly turning.
The perfection with beautiful brilliance did not disappear, but continued to fall, and finally stayed at the position around Ethan's waist, and at the same time, it expanded outwards violently, just like the light band on the head, turning into a mystery full of mystery. The aperture of the symbol, together with the one on the head, rotates relatively slowly clockwise and counterclockwise, respectively.
"Nice trick."
Logan commented on this. He could see that it should be a kind of defensive magic. Considering the previous situation, he guessed that it was Ethan preventing his mental power from being attacked.
This is a good thing for everyone, as long as Ethan can ensure safety, even if they are controlled by this guy who doesn't know how to describe it, they still have a chance to get out of the predicament.
After Ethan added a defense to himself, he did not put away the book of inheritance, but continued to build a new magic circle. This time the magic will be much more complicated and the magic power to be mobilized will be more. He will always be reluctant to use the magic power. All of them were mobilized, and as he cast the spell, the position of the wrist and ankle flashed the brilliance of magic.
"Ready?"
Ethan, who closed the Book of Inheritance again, nodded. He was ready to fight, but he still held the Book of Inheritance in his left hand and took out the magic wand in his right hand. The gem on the top of the wand was shining brightly. The light is a sign that the energy in it has been fully activated. At this time, Ethan can launch a very powerful energy attack as long as he thinks about it.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
Ethan does not have much potential physically, but he still remembers that his biggest reliance is not the body of an ordinary person. With the premise of possessing magic, many of his weaknesses can be covered up or even made up for.
"What now?"
"Try to talk first?"
The other party launched an attack directly before, but he didn't say anything about the conversation first. Ethan didn't think the conversation could solve the problem, but he really wanted to know what this guy was, and wondered if he would get an answer?
"What exactly are you?"
The plant-like life form actually gave the answer, but the answer was a bit inexplicable.
"I am life."
life?
Logan and Cleo looked at each other, neither of them really understood what this meant. Only Ethan has a vague guess, suspecting that this guy is actually the evolution or mutation of the Fruit of Life, and maybe there are other special factors.
I don't know if it was because of his overactive mental fluctuations that attracted this guy, Life deliberately glanced at Ethan. Almost at the same time, Ethan felt that there was an energy that wanted to invade his brain, and was blocked by his defensive magic. The speed of the magic light band suspended on his forehead instantly accelerated a little, and then slowly recovered. normal.
After the strange creature called life failed, there was no overreaction, but what he said next made everyone nervous again.
"Humans, as a reward for coming here, you will become real life."
Just when these words sounded in my mind, various plants grew on the bare ground of the cave at a speed visible to the naked eye, most of which had buds and opened at an extremely fast speed.
This originally unremarkable cave has turned into a beautiful garden in a short period of time, and the rich fragrance of flowers and plants fills the entire cave.
"Fake! This scent is poisonous!"
Ethan has been wearing a magic suit, and his hood itself has a certain effect of isolating the poisonous gas. Cleo next to him is in a similar situation. Ethan noticed that his face showed a little energy ripple under the attack of the poisonous gas. , It seems that the protection of the armor is very comprehensive. It seems that the head without any protection is actually protected by an energy layer. It seems that he was able to breathe normally underwater because of this energy barrier.
Only without wearing anything, Logan, who entered here with Ethan's underwater breathing magic, suffered a loss.
The self-healing factor in his body was constantly fighting against the floral fragrance full of toxins. Although he felt uncomfortable, he did not fall down because of it. As for being directly poisoned? That wasn't easy for Wolverine.
This self-proclaimed life thing released a big move, and found that all three people in the field were standing in place, only Logan coughed from time to time, barely giving him some face.
Even this reaction completely disappeared after drinking a small bottle.
