Chapter 240 The New Form of String Song, Illusion or Reality?

In the captain's room.

Shane's consciousness returned to his body, and he brought back the spoils of this dive.

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

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

Many tentacles of varying lengths and tangled roots are attached to the surface of the tumor, still wriggling slightly.

As the tumor wriggles, thick green mucus is constantly secreted from it, emitting a strong stench.

Except that the eyeballs on the tentacles are completely closed and dormant, everything is the same as the picture Shane saw before.

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

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

Thinking of this, Shane couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

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

Will letting such a tumor take root in the body really give the tree people a new life?

Shane instinctively realized that there must be a huge conspiracy behind it.

"Is its real name [Corruption Seed]?"

Shane's eyes fell on the panel, and when he saw the real name of the tumor, his face changed slightly.

In fact, the rotten smell emitted by the tumor made him feel a little familiar.

Add to this name...

"Will this seed be related to [Evil God]?"

Shane frowned slightly and guessed in his heart.

It's no wonder that he thought too much. In events involving the elves, [Evil God] often plays an indispensable role.

Another thing that puzzled Shane was...

This [Corruption Seed] can disguise itself as a plant-like appearance in [Giant Wood City].

Even the description on the panel was affected.

How come it showed its true form as soon as it left the sea?

When Shane was thinking about these questions seriously.

The next moment.

[The Seed of Corruption] suddenly burst into a painful, baby-like scream.

Then, the granulation and tentacles began to dance wildly.

But it didn't seem to be attacking, but more like a dying creature's struggle!

When the miserable struggle reached its limit, the flesh seed finally began to collapse.

More and more pus flowed out of the [Seed of Corruption], and the granulation was rapidly losing its activity.

In less than a minute.

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

Shane frowned and murmured: "This is..."

"Triggered some kind of self-destruct mechanism?"

"The reason is leaving [Giant Wood City]?"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Is there a possibility that the disguise of [The Seed of Corruption] is actually related to the domain that encompasses the entire [Giant Wood City]?"

Shane had felt strange before.

The domain of [Giant Wood City], apart from its wide range and the advantage of occupying the forest as the home field, does not seem to have anything special.

Not to mention compared with Shane's [Great Dark Sky], even the domains of ordinary secret pathers are more exquisite and magical than this.

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

But now think about it.

If this domain is related to the [Corruption Seed] bestowed by [Giant Wood God], then everything has a reasonable explanation.

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

Otherwise, just seeing this deformed tumor is enough to scare off a large number of tree people.

Although the tree people also desire fresh flesh and want to live longer.

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

"Wait..."

Thinking along this line of thought, Shane can't help but have a more terrifying guess.

"What if this disguised illusion is not only effective on the [Seed of Corruption]?"

In the [Giant Tree City], he clearly saw that the tree people who used the [Seed of Corruption] had stronger and more lively bodies than the conservatives.

The trunks were straight and the leaves were lush and full of vitality.

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

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

Shayen didn't dare to think about it.

"Dongdongdong!"

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the door.

Then, Joey hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Seeing that Shane was safe and sound, Joey was relieved and explained.

"I just heard a scream from the captain's room, and then..."

"Hehe, I told you, the captain won't be in any trouble!"

Behind her, Xiange said confidently: "This is on our own ship... Wow! What's that smell? It stinks!"

Xiange's self-satisfied voice was interrupted by itself.

Dragon's sense of smell is much more acute than that of humans. This rotten smell hit its nose and made it suffocate.

"And it's such a disgusting smell!"

Xiange muttered softly: "I must have smelled it somewhere!"

Xia En's eyes first swept behind Qiao Yi and Xiange, and found that not only the two of them were there, but An, Feiya, and Yanyan were also there.

Even the always sleepy ghost lady Vivian was watching quietly.

Shaen couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart and said.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. The scream just now was made by this thing."

He pointed to the mucus on the ground and looked at Xiange with disgust.

"Xiange, have you heard of the existence of [Seed of Corruption]?"

As a bronze dragon suspected of rebirth, Xiange has always had some residual ancient memories.

Moreover, these memories are still reviving as it grows.

Maybe he will know the origin of [Seed of Corruption].

"[Seed of Corruption]?"

Xiange touched his chin and said uncertainly.

"I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

"Its effect should be that it will permanently parasitize the target organism, continuously absorb the life and soul of the parasite, and constantly assimilate the parasite in the process."

"However, because of the effect of assimilation, the parasite not only cannot detect its own abnormality, but also feels that it is becoming stronger."

Although Xiange usually looks unreliable, when it gets serious, what it says is still quite credible.

Xiange continued to think: "It's like a special medicine used to save lives."

"At the cost of stimulating life potential, in exchange for a superficial last gasp, when the potential is exhausted, it's time to die."

Xia En's thoughts flashed.

Xiange's statement just fits the current situation of the tree people in the [Giant Tree City].

This alone is enough to show that the [Giant Tree God] has bad intentions.

That is definitely not a kind god who selflessly gives gifts to save the tree people.

But an evil god who does whatever it takes for his own selfishness.

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

The question now is.

Is [Giant Wood City], like [Corruption Seed], also subjected to illusions that confuse perception?

With the idea of ​​making the best use of everything, Shane asked Xiange and Joey.

"Do you know any spells that can see through illusions or illusions?"

Xiange grinned and said proudly: "Captain, you finally asked the right dragon!"

"After I was promoted a few days ago, I flipped through the magic notebook again and learned a few new spells."

"Among them, there is a magic that can see through illusions, called [True Vision Eye]."

During this period of time, [Lila's Magic Notebook] has been stored in Xiange's room.

It's not that Shane doesn't want to read this magic book, but after returning from the history of [Emerald Ancient City], he has forgotten the Elvish language he once learned.

It's like the pronunciation of the Elvish language was instantly stripped from his mind.

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

It was then that Shane understood the reason for the (temporary) suffix on the panel.

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

As for why Xiange could still master a certain amount of Elvish language, Shane still hasn't figured it out.

But no matter what, Xiange is the only crew member on the ship who can decipher [Lila's Magic Notes], so Shane naturally gave it this notebook to study.

Now it seems that it is really useful.

However...

Shaen encountered an illusion in the [Giant Wood City] related to the elves.

It just so happened that [Lila's Magic Notes] contained magic to see through illusions...

Is there any connection between the two?

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

It should be just a simple coincidence!

Afterwards, Shane asked Xiange how to use [True Vision Eyes], wanting to learn it directly.

But in response, Xiange said: "Captain, you probably can't learn this magic, because it must be activated in Elvish."

"Must use Elvish..."

Xia En frowned slightly.

He didn't think Xiange would lie about such a small matter.

After walking through the history of [Emerald Island], Xia En also clearly understood the magic of Elvish.

This language itself contains mysterious and extraordinary secret power.

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

At present, Xiange is the only dragon on the ship who can speak Elvish.

Do we have to take Xiange to [Giant Wood City] to have a look?

In terms of water ability, Xiange is actually not weaker than other crew members on the ship, and is even the most powerful one.

According to legend, the oldest ancient dragons come from the deep sea, and they naturally have the power to control the ocean.

Although Xiange is not the oldest dragon, it is still no problem to dive into the sea and move normally.

Xiange seems to have noticed what Xia En is hesitating about, and his eyes light up.

"Captain, are you going to take me to the sea?"

"Yes, yes, I have long wanted to venture into the sea! How can the glory of the great bronze dragon not be spread to the bottom of the sea?"

Xia En's mouth twitched when he heard this.

This is no joke!

Do you think it's a child's outing?

The deep sea is full of dangers, and this [Giant Wood City] is even more turbulent.

If Xia En did not have the ability of [Deep Sea Diving], he would definitely not dare to take the risk of going to [Giant Wood City] to die.

Even if Xian Ge broke through the third level, with the innate ability of the ancient dragon, his combat power is comparable to that of a fourth-level strongman.

In the [Giant Tree City], it is still not good enough.

Judging from the feeling of Shan En fighting against the tree people.

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

Once the war starts, they will face the endless "sea of ​​trees."

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

Shan En's [Projected Body] will not die. Even if it is forced into a desperate situation, it can come back the next day.

But if you bring Xiange with you, you have to always consider its safety.

"Captain, what are you thinking about?"

Xiange seemed to see Shan En's thoughts and said, "I'm not thinking about taking risks on the seabed."

"Why don't we just look down from the surface of the sea water?"

Xiange said this, but in fact he still had some thoughts of exploring the deep sea.

If you have to say it, this should be its nature.

Whether it is soaring in the sky or swimming in the sea, it will make it feel particularly happy.

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

Anyway, it's just in the shallow waters, and there shouldn't be any problem keeping a distance from the [Giant Wood City].

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

Ancient dragons and other creatures should have been extinct from the Seven Seas like the elves.

Now that the whereabouts of the [Giant Wood God] are unknown, it's better to be cautious.

Xiange attaches great importance to this long-awaited sea operation and is looking forward to it. He nodded hurriedly.

"No problem, Captain!"

Not long after.

Xia En 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 his experience of going to the sea himself is actually very rare, and it feels quite novel.

At this time, a petite figure walked to Xia En's side.

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

Her hair was metallic blue, with a smooth and soft texture.

Her facial features were very beautiful, delicate like a porcelain doll.

The only problem was.

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

Xia En was stunned: "Who are you?"

"Captain! You don't even recognize me!"

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

"Stop, stop, stop..."

Hearing her soft voice, Xia En could not recognize her identity, but he was curious.

"Xiange, how did you become like this?"

Xiange said confidently: "This is my mimicry magic, didn't you, Captain, let me disguise myself?"

Xia En really remembered the new ability Xiange gained after the promotion.

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

After a moment of exclamation, he jumped into the sea with Xiange.
