Chapter 552 550 The Eyeballs of the Demon Devouring Tree
Chapter 552 550. Eyeballs of the Devouring Demon Tree
Although he hated what she did, Lu Yu still gave Sarah, the original undead pioneer, the greatest respect. He stopped the drooling flesh and blood chariot from eating.
Lulu's flames ignited Sarah's body, which had caused her countless sufferings, and turned her into dust and dissipated in the wind.
"If there was no variable like Calden, we really couldn't do anything to you..." Looking at the jumping flames, Sera's mood gradually calmed down. After her inner anger was soothed, she could finally easily evaluate the most difficult magician she had encountered so far.
The incubators wandered around, and Lu Yu issued the highest instructions-all the active spirits around were eliminated.
Not everyone will form a spirit after death, but Lu Yu, a magician like Sarah who has unique insights into the art of spirit manipulation, firmly believes that she will definitely leave some traces.
While sorting out Sarah's belongings, Lulu found an unused earth-attribute defense scroll, a Sayer offensive spiritual magic scroll, and another stone giant heart. It seemed that they were special preparations for the spirit to leave the body and encounter accidents.
If the teleportation array is indeed incomplete and eventually leads to the collapse, and they perish together, Sarah can use the stone giant heart to form her own necromancy box and become the world's first "immortal".
"She didn't complete all this in advance, which means that she is also worried about the final result of this magic." Lulu murmured, "If no one forced her to take that step, she would also be afraid of the moment when she finally stepped over death... It's really amazing. She is clearly a necromancer. She has seen the extinction of so many lives and has already awakened, but she will still inevitably be timid at that moment."
Lulu's words reminded Lu Yu and Sera of Clorens in Dusk City.
He spent a long time, overlooking most people of that era, and was so wise and outstanding in his insight into the world. However, when he was old, he inevitably stepped into the "reincarnation" of the group of people he once despised, and avoided death with them.
"Is it the Goblin King who is ready to die..." Lu Yu thought of the king he saw at the starting point of the journey.
After coming to this world for so long, Lu Yu has only seen the so-called king's spirit in him.
He is clearly the strongest of the clan and the top magician around Yas, but he is extremely calm when facing death, as if he is walking on a road home that he has already stepped on countless times.
The communication array arranged by Sera has sent a message to the Dawn Territory, but from dawn to the sun jumping out of the horizon and shining on the earth, they still have not received a reply.
In the second half of the night, he kept patrolling around, cooperating with the manta ray, Xiaoguang, and the shadow legion to find the hatcher of the spirit body and returned to Lu Yu's side, stretched out his tongue to lick Lu Yu's tentacles, and then shook his head repeatedly.
Xu Yu, who also cooperated with the action, reported: "There is no spirit nearby. Except for some monsters and villages that seem to exist in the distance, we have nothing else in our sensing range."
In the chat room, the three people were stunned at the same time.
Sera suggested: "Wait a little longer."
Lu Yu had no objection. This time he ordered the incubator to continue to expand the sensing range, and let Manta Ray, Xiaoguang and others spread to other directions.
During this period, they finally received a reply from the Dawn Territory. According to the time and the degree of distortion of the message, Lu Yu deduced that this transmission brought them to the continent outside of Mera, but not too far.
Although curious about where he was, he could not leave at the moment.
They waited until the sun was high and the sun set. The feedback from the incubator and other summons to Lu Yu was still "no signs of spirit activity."
This wait lasted for two days, and the three finally convinced that Sarah had no spirit left.
Sera destroyed the two rare stone giant hearts without hesitation, and asked the incubator to drain all the magic contained in them to avoid accidents and strive to be foolproof.
When leaving the place where Sarah died, Sera suddenly asked faintly: "Do you think she is dead?"
Lu Yu and Lulu fell into silence. They both heard the worry in Sera's tone.
At a time when the definition of death has changed, no one can easily assert it, not to mention that Sarah is the first generation of the undead pioneer.
Lulu suddenly smiled, and she said proudly: "Even if she is not dead, I don't think it is a simple thing to come back to life. Even if she can recover to her peak, what height can we reach?"
"This is a race game where you either advance or retreat. Those who fall behind will be abandoned by the times without mercy."
The depression that had accumulated in the hearts of the three people for a long time was completely dissipated because of Lulu's words, and the chat room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
I don't know how long it took, Sera started humming the little song of the Church again, and the empty melody attracted Lu Yu's imitation, but Sera ruthlessly complained that "he is tone-deaf and even hums out of tune."
Lulu, who was in charge of controlling the body, was floating and swaying, feeling relaxed. Especially after hearing Sera and Lu Yu enter the most classic bickering mode, she subconsciously imitated the bird and swung her tentacles as if they were wings.
At the beach, Lulu found the breath of the living that they sensed, but this living being was a little special.
This is a starfish about two meters in size, with a skin color that changes from light gray to black. At first glance, its skin surface looks like it has been covered by a red basketball net. A large number of spike-like protrusions form "points", and the irregular lines between the points resemble human meridians, radiating from the center of the five-pointed star to the whole body.
This huge red starfish crawled on the beach, and the sudden appearance of Lu Yu and others did not interrupt its movement.
Looking at the beach not far away where the tide was receding, more starfish revealed a corner under the sea in the waves.
They landed silently on this beach where no intelligent creatures were active, and their bodies continuously released magic power that was close to the water attribute, as if they were blankly feeling the surroundings.
The three people who wanted to ask for location information to confirm their location stared blankly at this scene that looked like a great migration.
A bunch of fireworks bloomed above the darkening sky at dusk, and the explosion attracted the three people to look up.
The sound of the conch suddenly sounded, which was from the opposite position of this beach.
"The conch horn, and this familiar rhythm of magic... This is the siren's march!" Sera was the first to react and hurriedly called Lulu to hide.
Lulu looked around and found that nothing was suitable, but the soft sea sand where the starfish had climbed looked very good, so she dived in without thinking, and her tentacles desperately pulled down. She pupated for a while and completely hid herself.
The battle above the head has begun. Although there is no way to see it directly, the magic perception tells the three that the starfish has suffered heavy losses. This can't even be considered a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
A large number of words and spirits intertwined in the air, and the magic resonated. The scene was filled with mist, and the strong corrosiveness made the flagella and spines on the surface of the starfish "sizzle". Lu Yu could even imagine the scene of grilling meat on the iron plate.
The general rank of this group of sea monsters is not high, but their combined combat power is quite amazing. No wonder they never launched a conquest near the coast even in the era of dragons and Melias. The sea monsters with disunity and loose structure are the least threatening.
"Is it because the starfish are afraid of the unknown power in the sea coming ashore and being sniped by the sea monsters?" Lulu was curious.
Sera was also puzzled: "It's not likely. According to what Eunice and Vera said, it can be judged that only the sea monsters feel the crisis coming, and other creatures are extremely normal... There are indeed some intelligent sea monsters, but I have never heard of them landing on a large scale. This is not normal."
Lu Yu's tentacles grabbed a sandworm that was rushing over to avoid the battle. If there were a human figure at this time, his eyes would definitely shine, and he would even drool when thinking of a certain delicacy.
"How could I forget this delicious guy."
"Delicious?"
Lulu and Sera's attention was drawn to it, but when they saw the long insect in Lu Yu's hand that was constantly stretching and pupa, trying to struggle out of the tentacles, their voices suddenly rose sharply.
"This is what you call delicious!"
"Yes, it's delicious... What, do you look down on insects? Even insects can be made into wonderful dishes. You can make porridge, soup, deep-fry them as French fries, steam them to taste their sweetness, mix them with chili oil, or make them into dried sandworms... What kind of psychological fluctuations are you guys having? We have been together for so long, you should have some trust in my taste buds, right?"
"That's what you said... But in the end, it's an insect." Sera was extremely resistant.
After the initial surprise, Lulu subconsciously asked: "Can you do it?"
"Of course."
"If you eat it, I will eat it."
"Boom!"
The huge impact of the explosion threw the sand into the air, and the choking smoke and dust rushed straight to Sanmeiqiu's face. In the black fog, the blue beam cut straight like a laser knife. Sanmeiqiu, who was still discussing the sand and dust in the last second, was caught off guard by the beam and was hit hard.
The sandworm in Sanmeiqiu's hand did not last until it was put into the pot and was destroyed together with a large starfish not far away.
Sanmeiqiu, who only felt a little pain, was too lazy to pay attention to the big fight between the sea monsters and the starfish. He recognized a direction and planned to leave.
"Look, there is a black starfish that can float, and it looks very strange."
The voice of the sea monster made Sera stunned. She recognized that it was the classic Mera language, which was enough to prove that the other party was also one of the continents deeply influenced by Mera culture.
The Siren's conch sounded again, and the magnificent and somewhat epic sound field surrounded the beach.
Many of the sea monsters that were chasing other starfish turned their heads and stared at San Meiqiu with cold eyes.
"Kill it, it must be the product of the evil spirit possessing the starfish!"
Looking at the magic light stream falling like raindrops, Lu Yu summoned the Demon Devouring Tree without hesitation.
"Eat as much as you can, and blow it up when you are full!"
Although the sea monsters present are generally only at the fifth level, and the sixth level is only a minority, in terms of overall combat power, they can barely match the worst of the sea monsters that invaded the Dawn Territory, but the unreasonable place of the sea monsters is the combination of words and spirits. If they don't play tricks and fight hard, Sarah's army of undead will fall in front of them.
The increase in Lu Yu's strength has also made great progress in the Demon Devouring Tree. Now its body is much more sturdy than the first summon, and the vines and branches are thicker. The eyeballs and fruits densely distributed on the branches are so abundant that they bend the branches.
The sirens present felt the surrounding magic power become thinner before they could carefully observe what the towering tree that suddenly appeared looked like. The originally smooth chanting of the Word Spirit was full of sluggishness, and the magic perception that could be continuously extended seemed to hit a towering wall.
The powerful magic baptism intensively hit the Demon Devouring Tree, making its already old body shaky, like a wounded person, with dark green juice flowing from the broken branches.
The second round of mindless Word Spirit bombardment was in place, and the big mouths of several Demon Devouring Trees finally opened. The sirens trembled as they watched the bottomless giant mouth swallow up all the surrounding magic power. The magic power they mobilized seemed to be pinched by an invisible giant hand, and all the magic rivers were dominated by the strange tree in front of them at this moment.
With just one bite, the wounds of the shaky Demon Devouring Tree began to recover on a large scale, and the dazzling green continued to shine, adding a bit of vitality to this evening beach.
The "eyeballs" on the branches and vines matured quickly. Feeling the rain of words coming through the air, they rushed to leave the Devouring Demon Tree, squinting, laughing, jumping and hopping... stumbling towards the Siren.
This might be the first time that this group of sirens have seen such a horrifying scene. Countless eyeballs rushed straight at them. Although the words could cause damage, they were not fatal. In just a few breaths, they were already in front of them.
As if receiving an order, the first "eyeball" jumped high, releasing dazzling light all over its body, surging magic power bloomed, and the shock wave caused by the explosion swept away the Siren in the front.
The explosions caused by the fruits of the Devouring Demon Tree came one after another. In the roar of the sky, I don't know which Siren shouted "Run", followed by a great rout that even the Siren Conch could not stop.
Nearly a hundred sirens scrambled to swing their tails and rushed backwards. Although the damage caused by the explosion was relatively limited, the psychological fear of facing the unknown made them unable to think calmly about this level.
They clearly heard the eyeballs that had not yet left the Demon Devouring Tree emit bursts of harsh and terrifying laughter with unknown organs, and also saw the eyes that appeared and disappeared under the healing windows of the Demon Devouring Tree.
The three coal balls watched the group of timid sirens fleeing woodenly, feeling that they would fall down before I even tried.
The starfish behind them stood up at some point, staring at the Demon Devouring Tree that was swaying its vines and branches and happily interacting with the summoner.
