1493 Fruit Trees
The two sides of the narrow passage, which was barely enough for people to pass through, became somewhat transparent under the strong light of the illumination technique. The strands of fiber-like material that Raymond had detected before appeared under the strong light. Under the illumination, it can be vaguely seen by the naked eye, and it is indeed mixed in a seemingly soft liquid.
The material of the passage wall beside me cannot be identified, but under the strong light it seems to be only about two inches of film, and the shape of the pile is somewhat similar to the previous closed space, but it has been reduced many times.
But no matter how you look at it, it looks like the cells of some kind of plant have been magnified countless times.
The long, narrow and not tortuous passage had an obvious downward slope, so after entering, Raymond used his fingers to forcefully pierce the wall beside him, causing the soft liquid inside to seep out.
It is not pure water, but a slightly viscous slurry, and after it seeps out, it emits a faint fragrance, which is somewhat pleasant.
Because he had never heard the voice of the guy who called himself 'Ariel', but since it opened such a passage after escaping, Raymond decided that this was the only way to his residence.
The girl Becky sitting on his shoulders was a little dissatisfied with Raymond's hasty decision, but after being told by Raymond about the situation of the spiral stone staircase that he had gone down before, she understood what Raymond meant. mean. Since no threat was felt, and its owner deliberately opened such a passage, the significance of this passage is self-evident if it is determined that he has no malicious intentions.
However, after Raymond advanced in the passage for a long time, there still seemed to be no end in front of him. A somewhat irritated Raymond began to increase his speed by grasping the inclined angle of the passage along the way.
The wall of the passage beside him gradually turned into a dotted line in sight, but the front illuminated by the lighting technique still had no end.
Raymond, who estimated that he had advanced tens of thousands of meters, could not help but darken his face. Because there is something wrong with this situation.
But as soon as the speed slowed down, Ariel's old voice sounded in vain in his mind. "My body is too huge. If you are willing to accept a fast way of advancement, then I can help you arrive quickly..."
Raymond asked, who stopped after hearing the sound. "If we keep this speed, how long will it take to arrive?"
"It should not exceed two hourglass hours..."
Ariel's answer left Raymond speechless. But the girl Becky sitting on his shoulder said angrily. "Old guy! Don't do anything!" "Great True Spirit Projection, I don't have the guts to make fun of you..."
Ariel's extremely humble tone shocked the girl Becky, and Raymond couldn't help turning his face to look at the girl Becky with a strange look on her face.
The girl Becky, who stamped her feet angrily and tugged the broken hair beside Raymond's ear angrily, asked through a voice transmission. "This guy doesn't have any ill intentions, right?"
After thinking for a moment, Raymond shook his head and decided to agree. "Then let me arrive quickly!"
"Please stay calm..."
As the words appeared in his mind, Raymond noticed that his feet began to soften, and he began to fall!
An extremely weak energy fluctuation appeared under his body, but its effect seemed to be slowing down.
The lighting technique was redirected by Raymond. It made his feet open, and it also made him see the bottomless passage like an abyss!
After everything around him became an afterimage, it gradually became impossible to observe with the naked eye, and the released perception became unstable due to the stall, causing Raymond to lose control of his surrounding environment.
But a moment later, the dizzy feeling as if he had entered a space channel flashed for a moment and then slowly faded away, and the invisible force under his feet seemed to start to pull him upward, making him The deceleration began.
It still seemed that he was falling rapidly, but Raymond, with red eyes, could conclude that he had entered some kind of short-distance space channel just now, but because the time was too short, he felt that It's just an illusion!
Raymond, who immediately became alert, was a little stunned. But Ariel's old voice sounded in his mind again. "Powerful outsider, you have arrived..."
Ben Ben's dangling feet felt soft, and everything around him became visible again. When his feet turned into solid ground, Raymond realized that he had appeared in a huge space.
This place seems to be some independent space. I don't know where the soft light shines in. Not far in front of me is a lush tree, and behind it is like a void, as if there is no end.
There was an old face on the main trunk of the tree that was tens of meters high, and beneath it were thick exposed roots. After Raymond moved his eyes upward, he could vaguely see those hidden among the lush branches and leaves. of reddish fruits.
But the ensuing feeling of being watched by countless eyes made Raymond feel a little strange. But the girl Becky sitting on his left shoulder let out a sigh, and jumped up high in a flash. He suddenly accelerated and rushed into the lush branches and leaves, unable to be seen again.
When the girl Becky got into the branches and leaves, the face on the trunk was obviously frightened. The whole tree swayed slightly before it regained its composure and spoke. "Powerful outsider, why are you here?"
Realizing that this big tree could not be detected by his senses, Raymond took a few steps closer and spoke. "Are you the soul-sacrifice fruit tree hidden under the ruins?"
"My true body is a soul-sacrifice fruit tree. May I ask what you are doing?"
Raymond, whose feeling of being spied on became more and more intense, answered directly. "I need a soul-sacrifice fruit!"
"One? Do you only need one?"
Ariel's tone when he answered was very strange, and even the old face on the trunk of the big tree looked very surprised.
"You should only need one, right?" Raymond, who was a little unsure when he spoke, had no choice but to raise his head and search the girl Becky with his naked eyes, but to no avail, he had to shout. "Becky! Are you sure Crystal needs one?"
"Oh my God! Oh my God! There are tens of thousands of them. How could there be such a fruit tree..."
Accompanied by shouts of surprise, the girl Becky who appeared in vain from the lush branches and leaves pounced down like lightning. When she approached Raymond, she slowed down in vain and landed gently on his left shoulder. Ariel yelled. "Are you really the soul-sacrifice fruit tree?"
Ariel, who seemed to be afraid of the girl Becky, immediately answered. "The great true spirit projection, my true body is really the soul-sacrifice fruit tree. Could it be that there are already many soul-sacrifice fruit trees in the outside world today?"
Ariel was very confused, which also confused the girl Becky. After thinking for a while, she asked. "Then how many can you give us?"
The huge trunk shook slightly, and with the rustling sound of the branches and leaves swaying, Ariel seemed more and more frightened. "Then, how much are you prepared to ask for?"
The stunned girl Becky opened her mouth, while Raymond, who was also at a loss, didn't know how to answer.
But in Raymond's feeling, Ariel, who calls himself the soul-sacrifice fruit tree in front of him, doesn't seem to care much about the soul-sacrifice fruit, but he is a little worried about the quantity!
As long as there is no strong resistance, the possibility of obtaining the soul-sacrifice fruit will obviously increase.
So Raymond tentatively raised three fingers at Ariel and said. "That's a lot, is that okay?"
Ariel, whose pupils shrank, was stunned for a moment, and then he whispered in dissatisfaction. "One third is too much..."
Raymond was completely speechless when he heard this number.
The girl Becky standing on his left shoulder staggered even more and almost fell down.
After a moment, Raymond reacted with a thought in his mind. While pressing his right hand on the rusty badge on his chest, he also began to try to wake up Crystal...
