Chapter 332 Experimental Accident
In the devastated Nor Forest.
A large number of trees around were burning with flames, making crackling sounds, and the smell of burning filled the air. In an open space, three figures stood.
"It's finally over..."
Enzo muttered to himself, with a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. In a deep pit not far away, the petite body of the Son of the Forest, Sapa, curled up, surrounded by a layer of green crystals.
"A second-level life form, that's all!"
Beside him, Koren's face was pale, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes. Even though his body had begun to tremble due to the overdrawn magic power, he still stood there forcibly.
"Hehe! Let's stop talking nonsense first!"
The evil insect hunched over and stood there with difficulty. One of his arms was torn alive at the shoulder, but there was still a weird smile on his face.
"It's so hard to solve a son of the forest. I can't wait to take her back to the tower!" The evil insect licked his lips, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
After a tough battle, the three wizards joined forces and finally solved the Son of the Forest in front of them.
Although she was not completely killed, the Son of the Forest had already fallen into a self-protection state, which was somewhat similar to sleeping.
Enzo had seen such a scene once. When the giant tree mother attacked the seventh tower a few months ago, he formed a team with other wizards to face a Son of the Forest.
Finally, after paying the price of several wizards’ deaths, the Son of the Forest was finally subdued, and green crystals condensed around his body, and fell into a self-protection state.
"It seems that this is also one of the abilities of the Son of the Forest!" Enzo's eyes flashed, and he used the chip to record this information as experimental data for the Son of the Forest.
"Alright!"
Hearing the words of the evil insect, Koren also nodded, and the corners of his lips rose, saying: "A second-level life form as a trophy is not bad!"
After that, he walked forward, raised his hand and threw out a lightning bolt that turned into a long whip, entangled the crystallized Son of the Forest, and planned to drag her back to the seventh tower.
At this moment, Enzo suddenly frowned.
The alarm of the chip came from his mind, and a light blue luster appeared in his eyes. Through the ultra-long-distance vision, he saw several vague green figures.
"Son of the Forest!"
Enzo's eyes were stern, and he quickly stopped Koren's behavior and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about her, we must leave here immediately, the Son of the Forest in the Sixth Tower area has caught up!"
"What?!" Koren frowned immediately.
"Damn it!" On the side, the evil insect also had a trace of unwillingness on his face, but he didn't dare to waste any more time. His body twisted and turned into a big insect, shaking his insect wings and flew quickly into the distance.
Koren gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness.
But as a rational wizard, he could only make a choice, giving up the spoils that were about to be obtained, and turned into a lightning and disappeared on the spot.
"Shadow Wings!"
Seeing this, Enzo no longer wasted time, controlled the shadow to turn into wings, looked deeply at the crystallized Son of the Forest not far away, and decisively turned away.
…
A moment later, three children of the forest arrived.
“Sapa!” Sai, the oldest child of the forest, saw Sapa in the crystallized state and exclaimed, and ran over quickly.
“Still alive!”
The other two children of the forest also came over, and after checking Sapa’s condition, they breathed a sigh of relief. Sai raised his head and looked around, looking at the devastated Nor Forest, with a trace of anger mixed with fear in his eyes.
"They destroyed the forest to such an extent..."
Beside him, another son of the forest frowned and murmured in a low voice, "It seems that the power of those outsiders is more terrible than we imagined!"
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Sai's face was gloomy, and he shook his head and said, "Sapa has entered the crystallization state, and the natural power in her body has been seriously consumed. We must send her back to the arms of her mother as soon as possible!"
The other two sons of the forest nodded, and the three of them raised their hands, and their fingertips turned into vines that intertwined around Sapa in the crystallization state, dragging her away from the messy Nor Forest.
...
The seventh tower in the Lital area.
The solid wall is as high as a hundred meters, and there are metal magic cannons on the edge, with the black muzzles pointing downwards, ready to fire shells at any time.
On the wall, teams of extraordinary knights are patrolling back and forth, and they are extremely vigilant, turning the entire Lital area into a fortress fortress.
Below, on the barren land.
A flash of lightning fell in vain, and Coron appeared at the original place. Beside him, beetles gathered together to form the body of the evil insect.
Then, a black shadow slowly emerged.
"I'm back." Looking at the metal door hanging by chains on the wall in front of him, Enzo sighed in his heart and muttered to himself.
On the wall, the extraordinary knights saw several wizards. After confirming their identities, they quickly opened the metal door and welcomed the three people in.
After entering the Lital area, the three people went directly to the tower without any stop and took the elevator to the 99th floor of the tower.
In the office, Gustav met the three people.
"... This is probably the process of this mission." Coron recounted the intelligence obtained by the wizard team during the mission in detail.
"So, the wizard Amos has fallen, and the wizard Lakasha has also fallen into the hands of those children of the forest?"
Behind the desk, Gustav leaned his elbows on the table and frowned slightly.
"Yes, when the two of them sneaked into the sixth tower to obtain some important information, they were discovered by the alien race." Corunen nodded, then turned to look at the evil insects aside.
Upon seeing this, the evil insect understood what Corunen meant, shrugged, and spit out a scroll from his mouth.
"This is the important information that Wizard Yamos gave us before he died!"
Coron took the scroll, took a few steps forward, and placed the scroll on the desk.
Gustav's eyes narrowed, he took the scroll and cracked the rune seal on it, and then looked it up directly, the expression on his face kept changing.
"The Tree of Akiela?"
After a while, Gustave put down the scroll, his eyes flashing with luster, and murmured: "The cradle of the Sons of the Forest clan?"
The intelligence information seemed to have a great impact. Gustav said nothing. After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Okay, let's go down and rest first."
"You have done a great job in this investigation mission. The tower will reward you later."
After the three people heard this, they all touched their chests and saluted.
Just as he was turning around to leave, Gustav's voice came from behind again.
"Enzo, you stay!"
Enzo stopped, and after Column and Evil Insect left the office, he turned back and stood in front of Gustav.
"Teacher, do you have something to do with me?" Enzo asked.
"Of course!" Gustave nodded and chuckled, "You caused me a lot of trouble when you were out on missions."
"Me?" Enzo was slightly startled and looked confused.
"The laboratory on the 81st floor of the tower should be the experimental products you cultivated, right?" Gustav said quietly.
"Artificial twisted tree?"
Enzo's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively, "What happened? What happened to it?"
Gustav sighed and said, "Your experiment went wild, destroying almost the entire laboratory and causing serious damage to the 81st floor of the tower. Fortunately, Wizard Herbert arrived in time."
"What!?" Enzo was shocked.
The artificial twisting tree went berserk, which was something he had not expected. What was even more serious was that the experimental accident caused a lot of damage to the tower.
"how so?"
Enzo's face turned pale and he murmured, "I have clearly left a mark on the artificial twisted tree, it should be in a stable state!"
"No experiment is absolutely safe. It is inevitable that some expected things will happen." Gustave smiled and said softly without too much blame in his tone: "However, what you conducted The experimental project has great research value, and even Wizard Herbert was full of praise for it! "
“It’s a bold idea to merge the children of the forest with the native plants of [Elkila World] to create a brand new creature in this way!”
"The instructor has given me the award."
Hearing Gustave's words, Enzo breathed a sigh of relief and said humbly, "I am just making an attempt. Whether the experiment will succeed in the end is still unknown!"
"indeed so."
Gustav nodded and said, "Your experimental plan is indeed bold, but there are still many problems that need to be solved in order to be truly successful."
"For example, after the Son of the Forest merges with the Twisted Tree to form a new life form, how to control the remaining will that originally belonged to the Son of the Forest?"
"Although the experimental accident caused by the experimental subject's rampage was controlled by Wizard Herbert in time, as the living body continues to grow and develop, similar things will inevitably happen!"
Enzo frowned slightly, his eyes flashing with thought. As Gustave said, as a second-level life form, the Son of the Forest has been integrated with the Twisted Tree, but the remaining will is still very strong. Some mental imprints make it difficult to really control her.
After a moment, Enzo raised his head and asked, "Mentor, do you have any good suggestions?"
The corners of Gustav's lips raised, and he smiled and said, "Perhaps you can try the Soul Dividing Technique!"
"Soul-splitting technique?"
Enzo's eyes flashed, searching for information about this word in his mind, and hesitantly said, ": Are you talking about the Phantom Crow Soul Dividing Technique? One of the derivatives of the Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits!"
The full name of Soul Dividing Technique is [Illusion Crow Soul Dividing Technique]!
That is one of the derivative abilities of the advanced meditation method Huan Ya Qian Ling. By splitting a part of the soul, a personality will that is closely connected with the subject is formed.
"Yes, it's the Phantom Crow Soul Dividing Technique!"
Gustav nodded and said solemnly: "Only by using the derivative ability of Phantom Crow Qianling to split a soul of your own, can you swallow the remaining will of the son of the forest and make the experimental subject completely under your control." strength!"
"Relying on the split soul to devour the remaining will of the children of the forest?" Enzo murmured to himself, a glimmer of light gradually appearing in his eyes.
The suggestion given by Gustav seems to be a very subtle plan. Through the Phantom Crow Soul Dividing Technique, part of his soul can be fused with the experimental subject, thereby reducing or even swallowing the influence of the remaining will of the Son of the Forest.
"Thank you for your guidance, instructor!" Enzo stroked his chest and saluted.
Whether the soul-splitting plan will ultimately succeed is still unknown, but Gustav's suggestion gave Enzo a good experimental direction.
"Okay, let's go back."
Gustav chuckled lightly, waved his hand, and said, "Although you have done an excellent job in this investigation mission, due to the previous experimental accident, which caused certain losses to the tower, the two offset each other, so there is no No more rewards will be given to you.”
"I understand, mentor!" Enzo nodded quickly.
Then, he stroked his chest and saluted again, turned around and left Gustav's office, took the elevator to the 81st floor of the tower, and quickly headed to the laboratory.
"...It's really a mess!"
After pushing open the door of the laboratory and looking at the scene in front of him, Enzo took a long time to sigh, and at the same time, there was a trace of joy in his heart.
Due to the rampage of the experimental subjects, the entire laboratory has been almost completely destroyed. Although the surrounding walls have been repaired, cracks can still be seen.
In the centermost position is a huge cultivation tank.
The nutrient solution inside has been exhausted, and the roots of the giant artificial twisted tree are weak and weak. Runes are attached to the trunk and branches to prevent the experimental subject from going berserk again.
In the center of the trunk, a naked girl curled up in the green light group, her eyes tightly closed, as if she was in a deep sleep.
"It seems that the experimental subject has been temporarily controlled by Wizard Herbert!"
Enzo murmured to himself, taking a few steps forward.
At this time, the trunk of the tree was artificially twisted, and in the green light group inside, the petite green-skinned girl opened her eyes in vain.
Wow!
The branches hanging upside down on the crown of the tree shook violently, as if they were whips, attacking Enzo not far away.
However, the next moment.
As soon as the artificial twisted tree moved, the runes attached to it flashed with light, and a painful expression appeared on the green-skinned girl's face.
rustle!
The sound of shaking branches and leaves sounded again, and the extended vines of the artificially twisted tree shrank back into the canopy. The green-skinned girl closed her eyes unwillingly, and the expression on her face returned to calm.
"The remaining will of the children of the forest?"
Enzo frowned slightly. Since the children of the forest captured during the war merged with the artificial twisted tree, the former became something like a tree spirit.
The child of the forest lost her past memory and became part of the artificial twisted tree, but her remaining will still believed that Enzo was the enemy!
"It seems that the plan of dividing souls will be implemented as soon as possible..." Enzo murmured to himself, with a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.
Although the runes left by Wizard Herbert can temporarily suppress the remaining will of the Children of the Forest, this is obviously not a long-term solution. Enzo must split a part of his soul as soon as possible before he can completely control the artificial twisted tree.
