Chapter 343 Irene’s Resurrection
In the dark environment, there are weird trees all around. Each tree is covered with colorful and conspicuous moss, and it emits weak fluorescence, just like a young and innocent child scribbling.
If you look closely, these strange-shaped mosses are covered with almost transparent mycelium. Roots and clusters are connected to each other and crisscrossed, as if weaving a giant spider web in this silent forest. .
And deep in such a strange forest, a simple wooden house stood in the middle. Green smoke curled up from the chimney of the wooden house. It was obvious that this was not an abandoned house.
Not far from the wooden house, about 10 meters straight ahead, a strange flower was in bud.
It is more like a weird spherical object than a flower bud. It is 50 centimeters in diameter and densely covered with sharp spines. These spines, which are at least three inches in length, are shaking in a coordinated rhythm. With.
If you look a little farther away, you can probably find that this flower bud is beating like the heart of some giant beast.
At this moment, there was movement in the wooden house not far away. The simple door was pushed open from the inside, and a young man wearing a plain robe appeared outside. His exquisite three-dimensional facial features and perfectly proportioned figure were in harmony with this dark The mysterious environment forms a sharp contrast.
If I had to describe it, it would probably be like an elf who has fallen into the mortal world, or an angel with broken wings.
What was unexpected was that as the young man stepped out of the room, the densely packed transparent hyphae around him shrank sharply, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
The mycelium that was just like a spider web now disappeared within a radius of more than 100 meters from the wooden house.
Ian once again returned to the apocalypse. Although he no longer missed this place, every routine time-travel was still necessary, not to mention that this was a natural hunting ground. Every time he came, he had to fight for the magic stone. Recharge.
However, it seems to be endless and insatiable. Although you can feel the saturation of the magic stone every time, as long as life flows around it, it will absorb it again and again.
As the killings accumulated over time, Ian couldn't remember how many he had killed. He only knew that the endless vitality of the fungi was absorbed by the magic stone.
The most obvious thing is that the once bright red magic stone has now transitioned to dark purple.
However, at this moment, Ian's attention was completely focused on the strange flower bud not far away.
"Finally... it's going to give birth to life."
After sighing softly, he quickly walked towards the flower bud on the opposite side. As the distance got closer, the phoenix aura he felt became stronger and stronger, but the flower bud trembled and convulsed as if it had been frightened.
"Worry! In the next two days..."
Seeing this, Ian quickly stopped approaching. In his desperation, he almost forgot about the fear of individual fungi, and carefully backed away step by step.
After waiting for two full years, Irene's resurrection was all dependent on it. If an accident occurred due to an oversight, it would really be a tearless event.
In the close contact just now, Ian could clearly feel the vitality in the buds. It could take as short as a day or two, or as long as no more than a week, and he would definitely be able to see the results.
"Confuse the public, expel the enemy, set enemy traps, call for divine protection..."
Ian waved his wand and continuously released magic at the flower buds not far away. The more critical the moment came, the more he could not afford to be careless.
After all, the life nurtured in this bud is most likely related to the phoenix. What if it escapes at the last moment...
It's true that the sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump. It is basically impossible to catch the opponent.
So he not only used the confusion spell and the defensive spell, but also asked the guardian saint to stay 24 hours a day in order to pick the 'fruit' in time.
…
Five days flew by.
In the past few days, Ian has been staying here almost every step of the way. Especially in the last two days, he even used the transformation technique to build a temporary bed and slept next to the bud at night.
At noon on the sixth day, Ian leaned on the bed with half-closed eyes, playing with the time turner in his hand. This was the last resort.
To be honest, Ian was still unsure about using a time turner in the last days. He didn't plan to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.
When it comes to timeline issues, one bad move can easily cause the end of the world to collapse. After all, this place is really not as high-end as the HP world.
"Buzz!"
At this time, the flower buds trembled slightly, which was especially obvious in this silent environment.
After feeling the movement, Ian opened his eyes instantly. At the same time, he tightly grasped the wand with his right hand and looked at the buds in the distance with burning eyes.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
The vibrations and tremors became more frequent, and on the other side, Ian had already aimed his wand at the target.
"Click~"
After a soft sound, a 50-centimeter-diameter bud bloomed from the top. In an instant, Ian also made a move.
"Out-of-body experience!"
A cold voice sounded. In order to improve the effect of the Soul Imperius Curse, he not only released the magic with all his strength, but also recited the curse to increase his faith.
As one of the three unforgivable curses, the Imperius Curse does not have many fancy effects, but its power is undeniable.
It is not just a simple control. If used at a high level, it can even rewrite the will of the cursed person to a certain extent.
When Ian came into contact with this magic, he was also shocked by its effect. The upper limit was too high. If he really wanted to find a reference, he immediately thought of Shisui's 'Other God'.
Of course, wizards who can cast the soul-stealing curse to this extent are basically rare.
Back to business.
The moment Ian released the magic, there was an additional consciousness in his mind. This discovery made him breathe a sigh of relief. The Imperius Curse was successful.
Immediately, he had time to carefully examine the products conceived in the buds.
Wrapped in black mucus, a twisted and ferocious monster creature looked like a mutated vulture. What caught the eye was a pair of deformed huge bone wings, and at the connection between the bone wings and the body, several strands sprouted out. Irregular savings.
How should I put it? It's probably like a combination of a vulture and a deep-sea spider.
But Ian didn't care about its appearance. He used his wand to control it to float in the air and check it again at close range.
"You really ruined Phoenix's bloodline...but you didn't spill it at the time."
That's right, it still feels familiar. This ugly-looking creature undoubtedly contains a large amount of Phoenix blood within its body.
Immediately, Ian thought of the confusion that had existed for a long time. He had brought Phoenix blood to brew the potion, but except for one bottle that Eileen drank, he packed and drank the rest without wasting a drop.
But now he doesn't want to investigate the reason thoroughly. The top priority is to resurrect Irene.
As for how the apocalyptic fungus gave birth to a creature with Phoenix bloodline, Ian also speculated based on some common biological knowledge. It is probably because Phoenix blood has been exposed to the air several times.
As we all know, there are countless spores invisible to the naked eye hidden in the air of the apocalypse.
I just discovered that the chapter number was wrongly typed recently, but it doesn’t affect reading. It’s just that the chapter prefix is a bit messy. I’ll ask the editor to correct it tomorrow.
