Chapter 240 The new form of string song, illusion or reality?


    In the captain''s cabin.


    Shane’s consciousness returned to his original body, and at the same time he brought back the spoils of the dive.


    But the moment this "seed" left the sea water, its appearance suddenly changed drastically.


    Now it has completely turned into a rotten and ugly tumor.


    ??Many tangled tentacles of different lengths are attached to the surface of the sarcoma and are still moving slightly.


    As the sarcoma moves, thick green mucus is continuously secreted from it, emitting a strong stench.


    ??Except that the eyeballs on the tentacles were completely closed and fell into dormancy, everything was the same as what Xia En had seen before.


    This means that the scene that Shane saw not long ago was not an illusion.


    This ugly and distorted appearance is the true face of this seed!


    ?Thinking of this, Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little creepy.


    Based on his experience of exploring [City of Giant Trees] this time, it is not difficult to guess that most of the tree people in the city have accepted this existence called [Seed of Life].


    And if such a sarcoma takes root in the body, will the tree people really be reborn?


    ?Xia En instinctively sensed that there must be a huge conspiracy hidden behind it.


    “Its real name is [Seed of Corruption]?”


    Xia En’s eyes fell on the panel, and when he saw the real name of the tumor, his expression changed slightly.


    In fact, the rotten smell exuding from this sarcoma gave him a sense of déjà vu.


    Plus this name…


    "Could this kind of thing be related to [Huisi Ming]?"


    ?Xia En frowned slightly and guessed in his mind.


    No wonder he thinks too much, [Hui Siming] often plays an indispensable role in events involving the elves.


    Another thing that puzzled Shane was...


    ?This [Seed of Corruption] can be disguised as a plant-like appearance in [City of Giant Trees].


    Even the description on the panel has been affected.


    Why did your original shape appear as soon as you left the sea?


    ??Xia En was thinking seriously about these questions.


    The next moment.


    int is a sudden burst of pain , like the scream of a baby .


    Immediately afterwards, the flesh buds and tentacles began to dance wildly.


    But it didn’t look like an attack, but more like a creature struggling when it was about to die!


    When the miserable struggle reached its limit, this seed of flesh and blood finally began to collapse.


    More and more pus flows out of the [Corruption Seed], and the granulation is rapidly losing activity.


    Less than a minute.


    The [Seed of Corruption] collapsed and disintegrated into a puddle of dark green slime, and the weird screaming sound also stopped.


    Xia En frowned and murmured: "This is..."


    “Triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism?”


    “The reason is that you left [City of Giant Woods]?”


    Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.


    “Is it possible that the disguise of [Seed of Corruption] is actually related to the realm that encompasses the entire [City of Giant Trees]?”


    Xia En felt strange before.


    【City of Giant Trees】This area does not seem to have anything special except for its wide range and the home advantage of occupying the forest.


    Not to mention that compared with Xia En''s [Great Dark Sky], even the realm of ordinary mystics is more subtle and magical than this.


    ?This seems inconsistent with the extremely high status of [Giant Wood God].


    But now I think about it.


    ??If this realm is related to the [Seed of Corruption] given by the [Giant Wood God], then everything has a reasonable explanation.


    It is precisely because of this layer of disguise that the tree people will accept the [Seed of Corruption] without much precaution.


    Otherwise, just seeing this deformed sarcoma would be enough to scare away a large number of tree people.


    ?Although tree people also long for a living body, they want to live longer.


    But seeing this ugly piece of meat, anyone would notice something was wrong, right?


    "etc…"


    ?Thinking along this line of thinking, Xia En couldn''t help but have a more terrifying guess.


    “What if this disguised illusion doesn’t just act on [Seed of Corruption]?”


    In the [City of Giant Trees], he clearly saw that the tree people who used [Seed of Corruption] had stronger and more vivid bodies than the old guard.


    ?The trunk is tall and straight, the leaves are lush and green, and they are full of fresh vitality.


    Now, [Seed of Corruption] has been proven to be not a good thing.


    ??What will the real appearance of those tree people who accepted it be like?


    ?Xia En didn’t dare to think any further.


    “Dong dong dong!”


    ?At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.


    Then, Joey hurriedly opened the door and broke in.


    “Mr. Captain, are you okay?”


    ?Seeing that Xia En was safe and sound, Joey breathed a sigh of relief and explained.


    “I just heard screaming coming from the captain’s cabin, and then...”


    “Huh, I told you, nothing will happen to the captain!”


    Behind her, Xian Ge said confidently: "This is on our own ship... Wow! What does this smell like? It stinks!"


    Xiange’s proud request for credit was interrupted by itself.


    The sense of smell of dragons is much sharper than that of humans. This stench with a rotten smell assaulted the nostrils and made it smell bad all at once.


    “Besides, it’s such a nasty smell!”


    Xiange whispered: "I must have smelled it somewhere!"


    Xia En''s eyes first glanced behind Joey and Xian Ge, and found that not only the two of them were here, but An, Fei Ya, and Yan Yan were also present.


    Even the ghost lady Vivian, who is always a sleepy soul, was quietly watching from the sidelines.


    ?Xia En couldn''t help but feel a little warmth in his heart and said.


    “Don’t worry, I’m fine. The scream just now was caused by this thing.”


    As he spoke, he pointed at the puddle of mucus on the ground, and then looked at Xian Ge, who had a look of disgust on his face.


    “Xiange, have you ever heard of the existence of [Seed of Corruption]?”


    As a seemingly reborn bronze dragon, Xian Ge has always had some remaining ancient memories.


    ??Moreover, these memories are still being revived as it grows.


    Perhaps you will know the origin of [Seed of Corruption].


    “[Seed of Corruption]?”


    Xian Ge touched his chin and said uncertainly.


    “I seem to have heard this name somewhere.”


    “Its effect should be to permanently parasitize the target organism, continuously absorb the life and soul of the parasite, and continuously assimilate the parasite in the process.”


    “However, because of the effect of assimilation, the parasite is not only unaware of his own abnormalities, but also feels that he is becoming stronger.”


    ?Although Xian Ge is usually unreliable, when he gets serious, what he says is quite credible.


    Xian Ge continued to think: "It''s like the kind of special medicine used to hang one''s life."


    “At the expense of stimulating the potential of life, we exchange for superficial reflections. When the potential is exhausted, we will lose our lives.”


    ?Xia En’s thoughts flashed.


    ?Xian Ge’s statement is exactly in line with the current situation of the tree people in the [City of Giant Trees].


    ?This alone is enough to show that the [Giant Wood God] has bad intentions. That is by no means a kind **** who gives gifts selflessly to save the tree people.


    Rather, he is an evil **** who will do whatever it takes for his own selfish motives.


    Even, even the name [Giant Wood God] may be fictitious!


    The question now is.


    Is [City of Giant Trees], like [Seed of Corruption], both cast with illusions that confuse perception?


    With the idea of ??making the best use of everything, Xia En asked Xian Ge and Joey.


    “Do you know of any spells that can see through illusions or illusions?”


    Xiange grinned and said proudly: "Captain, you have asked the right question!"


    “After I advanced a few days ago, I went through the magic notebook again and learned a few new spells.”


    “There is a magic that can detect illusions, called [Pupil of True Sight].”


    During this period of time, [Laila''s Magic Notes] have been stored in Xian Ge''s room.


    It’s not that Xia En doesn’t want to read this magic book, but that after returning from the history of [Emerald Ancient City], he forgot the Elvish language he had learned.


    It was as if the pronunciation of Elvish was instantly ripped out of his mind.


    Not only him, Yan Yan and Cuiqi also forgot the Elvish language.


    It was only then that Xia En understood the reason for the (temporary) suffix on the panel.


    Obviously, the scope of influence of the [Aphasia Curse] was larger than he expected.


    As for why Xian Ge can still master a certain amount of Elvish, Xia En still hasn’t figured it out yet.


    ??But no matter what, Xian Ge is the only crew member on the ship who can decipher [Laila''s Magic Notes], so Shane naturally gave this note to it for study.


    ?Now it seems that it is indeed of great use.


    but…


    ?Xia En encountered a fantasy in the [City of Giant Trees] related to elves.


    It just so happens that [Laila''s Magic Notes] contains the magic to break through the illusion...


    Is there any connection between the two?


    Xia En thought for a while, and finally smiled and shook his head.


    It should be just a simple coincidence!


    Subsequently, Xia En asked Xian Ge about how to use the "Eye of True Sight" and wanted to learn it directly.


    But in this regard, Xian Ge said: "Captain, you probably won''t be able to learn this magic, because it must be activated in Elvish language."


    “Do I have to use Elvish...”


    ?Xia En frowned slightly.


    He didn’t think Xian Ge would lie to people about such a trivial matter.


    ?After experiencing the history of the Emerald Isle, Shane also clearly understood the mystery of Elvish language.


    ?This language itself contains mysterious and extraordinary power.


    ??The reason why some magic in ancient times was lost is because of the death of Elvish language.


    At the moment, the only one on the ship who can speak Elvish is Xian Ge.


    Do you want to take Xiange to [City of Giant Woods] to have a look?


    In terms of water quality, Xian Ge is actually no weaker than the other crew members on the ship, and is even in the strongest category.


    Legends say that the oldest ancient dragons come from the deep sea, and they naturally have the power to control the ocean.


    ?Although Xian Ge is not the oldest dragon, there is no problem at all when he dives into the sea and moves normally.


    Xian Ge seemed to have noticed Xia En''s hesitation, and his eyes lit up.


    “Captain, do you want to take me to sea?”


    “Okay, okay, I’ve wanted to explore the sea for a long time! How can I not spread the glory of the great bronze dragon to the bottom of the sea?”


    Xia En’s lips twitched when he heard this.


    This is no joke!


    Do you think you are a child going on an outing?


    ??The deep sea is full of dangers, and this [City of Giant Woods] is even more undercurrent.


    ??If Xia En did not have the ability of [Deep Sea Scuba Diving], he would definitely not dare to take the risk and go to the [City of Giant Woods] to commit suicide.


    Even if Xian Ge breaks through the third level, with Gu Long''s natural ability, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth level strong man.


    In [City of Giant Trees], there is still not enough to see.


    ?Judgment based on Xia En’s experience of fighting against the tree people.


    The single combat power of each ordinary tree man is about level 3, but there are too many of them, and they have a home field advantage.


    Once a war breaks out, you will have to face an endless "sea of ??trees."


    Not to mention, there will definitely be powerful people among the tree people.


    ?Shaan’s [Projection Body] will not die. Even if he is cornered, he can come back the next day.


    But if you bring a string song with you, you must always be concerned about its safety.


    “Captain, what are you thinking about?”


    Xian Ge seemed to see Xia En''s thoughts and said, "I''m not thinking about going on an adventure to the bottom of the sea."


    “Wouldn’t it be great if we just took a look down from the surface of the sea?”


    Xian Ge said this, but actually he still had some thoughts about exploring the deep sea.


    ?Honestly speaking, this should be considered its nature.


    ?Whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the sea, it will feel particularly happy.


    Hearing this, Xia En stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Then let''s go to the sea now and have a look."


    Anyway, it’s only in the shallow sea, so there shouldn’t be any problem if you keep a distance from the [City of Giant Trees].


    Xia En warned again: "However, you''d better make some disguise and don''t go into the sea in the form of an ancient dragon."


    Creatures like the ancient dragon should have been extinct from the Seven Seas like the elves.


    The [Giant Wood God]’s heels are unknown now, so it’s better to be cautious.


    Xian Ge attached great importance to this long-awaited trip to the sea and was looking forward to it. He nodded hurriedly.


    “No problem, Captain!”


    Not long.


    ?Shaan changed into light clothes and came to the deck.


    It’s a bit funny to say that he has been a captain for so long, but he has very few personal experiences of going to sea, so it feels quite novel.


    At this time, a petite figure walked up to Xia En.


    She has two bronze-colored dragon horns like sheep''s horns, some bronze-colored scales on her skin, and a dragon tail behind her.


    Her hair is metallic cyan, with a smooth and silky texture.


    The outline of the facial features is extremely beautiful, as delicate as a porcelain doll.


    The only problem is.


    She looked to be only seven or eight years old, with a little baby fat on her cheeks. She was still a young girl.


    Xia En was stunned for a moment: "Who are you?"


    “Captain! You don’t even recognize me!”


    The young dragon girl raised her chest: "Hmph, I am a great bronze dragon..."


    “Stop, stop, stop…”


    Hearing her soft voice, Xia En still didn''t recognize her identity, but he couldn''t help but wonder.


    “Xiange, why did you become like this?”


    Xian Ge said confidently: "This is my mimicry magic. Didn''t you ask me to disguise it, Captain?"


    ??Xia En really thought of the new abilities Xian Ge gained after being promoted.


    ?However, now is not the time to worry about this.


    ?After he marveled for a moment, he jumped into the sea together with the song.
