Chapter 649 The Sacred Tree Being Gnawed
Compared to Lin Lan's surprise, Bai Long, who was carrying the sword on his shoulder, showed a smile of expectation and excitement, and laughed impatiently:
"Ha, that's great. I heard from General Shimanto how powerful the disaster was before, but he was killed by the great sage with a sword. This time it's my turn to try the sword."
As long as the sword is in hand, Bai Long seems to have no idea what fear is.
And as a powerful fourth-phase scientific research aircraft carrier and the most powerful aircraft carrier ship girl in the Sakura Empire camp, this is not arrogant.
But what Nagato said to Lin Lan next poured cold water on Bai Long, who was in high spirits:
"Commander, according to the great sage, the will awakened by the invisible breath is only a fragment, and it has been destroyed by her."
"It's just that the breath of the demon girl is still a little strange. The great sage and Musashi have controlled her, and you need to check it yourself."
When Lin Lan heard what Nagato said, he suddenly remembered something he almost ignored.
Before the Purifier handed the Demon King over to them yesterday, he seemed to have told him that he needed to use light elements to stop the erosion of the Demon King's body.
At that time, he thought the Purifier was just joking with him, but now it seems that he really has to deal with it personally.
As for the fragment of the will of the Invisible Breath being solved by Yunxian, Lin Lan was not surprised.
Yunxian was able to kill the main body of the Invisible Breath in the Great Imperial Divine Tree, let alone now it is just a fragment?
After Lin Lan told several Sakura Empire shipgirls what he had heard from the Purifier in the Siren Fortress yesterday, Bai Long sighed as if he was not interested, and said:
"What? It was solved by the Great Sage again."
"If you really want to practice, there are probably four Demon King Army cadres in Liaozhou, there are plenty of opportunities."
After Lin Lan comforted Bai Long, the senior Mikasa also laughed:
"The commander is right. If the Demon King Army is really related to the disaster, I will arrange Chikuma to strengthen the intelligence collection of the Demon King Army in Inaba Island."
Hearing this familiar name, Lin Lan also remembered that Chikuma, the second ship of the Tone-class heavy cruiser, was an intelligence officer responsible for collecting intelligence in the Sakura Empire camp. She was absolutely professional.
The sexy bunny-eared lady heavy cruiser shipgirl can carry a large number of seaplanes. From what Mikasa said, it seems that Chikuma has already started working secretly in Inaba Island.
"Hey, Demon King Army, what an interesting opponent to look forward to."
While Bai Long was full of expectations for future enemies, the secret technique that Mutsu was currently working on was about to be completed.
While waiting for Mutsu to open the passage to the sacred tree barrier, Lin Lan was suddenly pulled by Shinano.
The white-haired fox, who even in reality had an ethereal temperament, looked at him with a pair of hazy cobalt blue eyes, and the originally lazy expression on the breathtakingly beautiful face was solemn.
Shinano seemed to find something wrong with him and said softly:
"Commander, why are you so confused... Have you seen things you forgot in your dreams recently?"
Although Shinano's voice was not loud, except for Mutsu who was concentrating on using the secret technique to open the passage to the sacred tree barrier, several Sakura warship girls all cast unexpected eyes at Lin Lan.
And Lin Lan was also surprised that Shinano could see the problem in his dream at a glance.
He did intend to ask Shinano about this matter, but he didn't expect Shinano to bring it up on her own initiative.
But the memory fragments of the original world he dreamed of should be the work of Siren, why did Shinano say that they were confused and forgotten memories?
"Since I was captured by the observer and you rescued me in my dream, I would occasionally dream about the past experiences of the creator of Siren."
"I also dreamed of these memory fragments last night, but the problem is that these memories have nothing to do with me, how could I forget them?"
For this trustworthy dream expert, Lin Lan certainly explained the origin of his "symptom" without hiding anything and told him about his troubles.
"The creator of Siren... This is too bizarre. How long ago did it happen? How could it be a memory forgotten by the commander?"
After listening to Lin Lan's words, Mikasa touched her chin and hummed with doubt on her face.
And Shinano also looked at Lin Lan unexpectedly, slightly drooping the white fox ears on his head, as if thinking about something.
"Commander, I can't help you relieve this situation, but according to my speculation, this situation is harmless and will be resolved as your memory gradually recovers."
"If the commander suffers from insomnia due to worry, I can help you sleep more comfortably."
Shinano finally said her conclusion, but Lin Lan couldn't help but sigh when he heard Shinano say that this dream similar to memory could not be resolved.
It seems that the observer's manipulation of him is far more complicated than he imagined.
But there is still good news. Shinano has judged that this memory dream is not harmful to him, which is enough to make him feel at ease for the time being.
As for what the observer did to him, he can only ask again when he meets the high-level siren next time.
When Shinano's words fell, the passage in front of Mutsu was also opened.
"Commander, everyone, follow me into the Yushenmu barrier."
"Mutsu, please ask the guards to guard here, we should be back soon."
Nagato finished speaking approvingly to Mutsu and motioned for everyone to enter the barrier with her.
Accompanied by Mikasa, Bailong and Shinano, Lin Lan touched the lovely Mutsu's head and then followed Nagato's footsteps and entered the Goshenmu barrier passage.
And when he stepped into the pale golden vortex, he found that he had arrived outside the Goshenmu Shrine where he arrived last night.
This also made Lin Lan understand. No wonder Mutsu took so long to prepare the secret technique. It turned out that the location where they appeared was directly set here, saving a lot of climbing.
The sky was still as dark as night, and visibility was extremely low.
But when he set his sights on the sacred tree in the courtyard in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The three Mikasa people who appeared immediately after them also stopped and looked shocked after seeing the appearance of Mikasamu at this time.
"The sacred tree... was broken?"
As Mikasa, who had been here last night, there was already a tone of disbelief in her voice.
Just as Mikasa said, the imperial tree in front of Lin Lan and others at this moment is no longer as full of vitality as it was yesterday.
Half of the thick branches of the sacred tree seemed to have been chewed off by some huge monster. Two-thirds of the tree crown above had completely disappeared, and the broken part looked very ferocious and tragic.
What's even more exaggerated is that Lin Lan suddenly seemed to realize something and raised his head to look at the sky.
In the sky, billowing black clouds filled with ominous aura covered the sky. They were rolling and rolling as if they were alive, as if they would sweep down and devour everyone in the next moment.
Since he came to the Shenmu barrier last night, he felt that the sky was dim and there was no sense of violation.
But just like the anomaly he discovered, it stands to reason that it should be daylight here.
It was these black clouds, no, to be precise, it was the black flowing aura that completely covered the sky, making the environment as dark as the night.
"Invisible Breath..."
Lin Lan whispered the name that the Chongying camp had given to this horrific disaster, and he also felt the same discomfort and disgust from the black aura that covered the sky as the black creeping matter on the Demon King's army before.
Until this moment, Lin Lan was finally sure that the invisible breath and the breath of the Demon King Army were definitely from the same origin.
However, in addition to confirming this point, Lin Lan was shocked beyond that.
Because he felt that the air around him was filled with an uncomfortable aura that seemed a bit familiar.
It's like he has experienced it somewhere.
"Yes, the singularity of Huanyang City!"
Lin Lan frowned, and he finally remembered where this discomfort came from.
Back on the sea surface of Huanyang City, black particles representing meta energy were constantly floating in the air around the black storm surrounding the singularity.
Although there were no black meta particles floating in the air around them at this time, the discomfort it brought him was far worse than the discomfort he felt in Huanyang City.
