Chapter 241 The True Face of [Giant Tree City]!

After jumping into the sea.

Xian Ge frowned her bronze eyebrows.

With the keen instinct of a bronze dragon, she noticed that there was a hidden secret power in the sea water, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Then, Xian Ge looked down at the [Giant Wood City] below, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Under the sea, there is such a dense and vibrant forest?

I have to say.

From the appearance alone, the scenery of [Giant Wood City] can be described as spectacular.

It's like a miracle of the Creator.

Even though Xia En had previously roughly introduced the situation of this city to Xian Ge, Xian Ge couldn't help but exclaimed a little when she suddenly saw this scene.

However, Xian Ge certainly didn't forget the task that Xia En had ordered.

After a brief surprise, she became serious and whispered the mysterious Elven language in a low voice.

This ancient language has been lost today.

Just like those older dragon languages.

Even when Xian Ge was reciting the spell, she seemed a little slow and awkward, probably because she was worried about mispronouncing some syllables, which would cause the spell to fail.

On the side, Xia En listened to Xian Ge's recitation silently, and felt both familiar and unfamiliar.

It seemed that every single syllable could be understood, but when they were put together, it became a completely unfamiliar language.

Xia En suspected that he had not completely forgotten the skill of Elvish.

It was just because of some unknown restrictions that it could not be used normally.

As for why Xian Ge could still cast spells in Elvish, it was probably inseparable from its ancient dragon race.

While Xia En was thinking, Xian Ge had already undergone magical changes.

A dark golden light gradually lit up in her pupils.

In the depths of the light, it seemed as if an ancient rune was rotating, deep and thrilling.

It also made Xian Ge's face carry a mysterious temperament different from usual.

"Rune?"

Xia En's heart moved.

He knew very early that language and writing themselves have magical secret power.

Moreover, runes seem to be closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary spells.

For example, when Shane was plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he vaguely came into contact with the rune that seemed to represent "Thunder".

However, at that time, the time he came into contact with the rune was too short, and before Shane could delve deeper into it, the rune disappeared.

And now, looking at the rune in Xiange's eyes, Shane inexplicably understood its meaning -

[Reality! ]

The existence of this rune is the cornerstone of the [Eye of True Vision] spell.

Realizing this, Shane couldn't help but think more deeply.

Could the special thing about the Elven language be that it is closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary languages?

But at this moment.

The expression on Xiange's face suddenly changed, her face turned pale, her pupils dilated, and her whole body trembled violently.

"Xiange, what's wrong with you?"

Xia En frowned, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and asked hurriedly: "What did you see?"

Xiange's face became paler and paler, and she murmured with her mouth.

"Run...Run! This city..."

Seeing this, Xia En immediately made a decision, pulled Xiange's little hand and swam quickly to the sea.

...

...

After a while.

The two returned to the deck of the [Black Swan], but Xiange still had a lingering fear, stunned, as if she had been greatly frightened.

Xiange's nature has always been jumpy. To put it nicely, she is unrestrained and optimistic. To put it bluntly, she is arrogant.

Even she showed this expression, which can only mean that Xiange was really scared.

Seeing this scene, Joey immediately asked with concern.

"What's wrong with Xiange?"

"Captain, what did you encounter in the sea?"

Xia En was also very curious.

If you must say, Xian Ge only glanced at the [Giant Wood City] with the [Eye of True Vision].

Could it be that just this distant glance scared the usually brave Xian Ge so much?

At this time, Joey gently sang an unknown ballad, using the secret power in the song to soothe Xian Ge's frightened heart.

After obtaining the profession of [Deep Sea Singer], Joey mastered more powers of the Storm Goddess.

This includes calming the mind, a basic ability that a storm priest must master.

As the gentle and soothing sound of the waves sounded in Xian Ge's ears, her panicked spirit quickly calmed down.

Xian Ge opened her eyes again and spoke seriously.

"Captain, that city... is definitely more terrifying than you expected?"

"I suggest you not to explore there again in the future."

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What's going on? In the [Eye of True Vision], what does the [Giant Wood City] look like?"

"Wait a minute, I also know a magic called [Memory Sharing]."

Xiang Ge tried to calm down and cast a spell again, saying: "Please look."

Then, a thin light screen appeared in front of everyone.

It showed the scene that Xiang Ge saw from the first perspective.

At first, it was the scene of entering the sea water.

Then, it was the endless, lush, and vibrant underwater forest.

Joey exclaimed a little: "What a big forest!"

"The vitality here is not much different from the [Rhine Secret Realm], right?"

Xia En had long regarded the crew as partners who shared life and death, so he naturally told them about the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm].

In fact, in their spare time, the crew members would also go to explore the [Rhine Secret Realm].

On the one hand, it was to help Shane explore this vast secret realm.

On the other hand, it was to kill the boring time during sailing and hone their combat skills.

——Sometimes it is not a good thing for the captain to be too capable. Sometimes the naval battle does not require them to take action, and the battle is over.

The sparring between the crew members does not have the sense of crisis of life and death.

It just so happens that there are many unknown new species in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which is just right for them to use as a whetstone.

Feiya, who was next to him, looked at the underwater forest in the light curtain and showed a look of surprise.

"Strange... How can such a large forest survive in the sea?"

Tracy asked curiously: "What's so scary about this forest?"

Xiange did not explain much, but just sighed and said.

"You will understand soon."

As the time in Xiange's memory progressed, a faint dark golden light appeared on the light curtain, and the scene in the field of vision suddenly began to shake like water waves.

Obviously, this was the memory of Xian Ge using the [Eye of True Vision].

When the scene turned from blurry to clear, everyone present couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Where is there any vitality, and where is there any forest.

In the deep sea below, there is a layer of filthy things similar to fungal blankets, which exude a rotten smell all the time.

On the fungal blankets, there are also dried and decayed tree people.

If you insist, it is equivalent to a mummified existence.

The branches of the tree mummies are like deformed flesh and blood, with deep eye sockets and distorted faces, as if telling endless pain.

And in the center of the entire city, the god called [Giant Tree God] is not a huge tree at all.

And a huge, rotten flesh and blood heart!

Countless red and black flesh and blood turned into tentacles, suckers, mouthparts... and all kinds of internal organs like stomachs, hearts, livers, and kidneys were beating on the surface.

The dark liquid, like substance, slowly flowed out of those mouthparts, dripped onto the seabed, and instantly spread out a twisted flesh carpet.

This made the flesh and blood jungle expand outward continuously.

With the beating of this heart, the tree-man mummies on the flesh carpet were stimulated to let out crazy and painful silent roars.

"This..."

Seeing this picture, not to mention the crew members, even Shane was deeply shocked.

"Is this the real [Giant Wood City]?"

Even though he had seen the true face of [Seed of Life], he had some expectations in his heart.

But this city made of rotten and filthy flesh and blood still brought him a strong mental shock.

When Shane thought that he had stayed in this flesh and blood city for so long, he felt a tingling scalp and a chill in his back.

And this was the picture after [Memory Sharing], and the impact itself had been restrained a lot.

It is conceivable that Xian Ge was frightened when he saw this scene at that time.

No wonder it became so flustered.

The crew members were also greatly shocked by the changes in the scene in the light curtain.

The contrast between before and after was too obvious.

The forest was full of vitality in the last second, and it became filthy and profane flesh and blood in the next second.

Joey couldn't help but worry: "Captain, do you have to explore this city?"

"I think... it's better for us to leave as soon as possible."

Shane shook his head: "I have reasons to explore it."

"But don't worry, I have a unique way of exploration, nothing will happen."

At this point, most of the crew members actually guessed the secret of Shane's [Deep Sea Diving], but neither side revealed it.

The crew members only regarded this as Shane's special secret method and did not pursue it excessively.

As the captain, Shane has unlimited power on the ship.

At this time, he has made up his mind, and the crew members will naturally not persuade him any more.

Yan Yan, who was wearing a robe, suggested: "Captain Shane, how about I go down with you?"

"Let me burn this forest clean!"

Yan Yan's expression was very cheerful and sunny, but what he said was a little scary.

However, on weekdays, Yan Yan rarely takes the initiative to ask for battle.

After all, that mysterious and powerful flame, while burning the enemy, is also burning his body.

Yan Yan is now able to control his own flame a little, but he doesn't want to fall into the hell of being tortured by flames every day.

So, Shane was a little curious about why he took the initiative to ask for battle.

Yan Yan said directly and frankly: "I don't know why, I feel very uncomfortable when I see that huge heart, and I always want to burn it."

Uncomfortable?

This is indeed a reason.

But Shane can't help but think of Yan Yan's mysterious past.

Yan Yan's origin is also unusual. Shane can only barely guess that he may have some connection with the legendary "Fire King".

Maybe, in his lost memories, he had contact with the [Giant Wood God]?

Xia En's eyes swept over Yan Yan, Xian Ge and An.

So far, these crew members have hidden deep secrets that have not been discovered.

Each of them has a good background and a unique bloodline.

It seems that only he has come to this day with his own efforts and a little help from the [Eye of the Secret Sea]...

Xia En gathered his distracting thoughts and decided to take Yan Yan with him on the next dive.

It's not that he really wants to burn this rotten city.

——Although most of the tree people in the city have converted to the [Giant Wood God], there are still a small number of tree people who insist on their beliefs and are still lingering.

We can't burn them completely as well, right?

Xia En decided to use Yan Yan as a "backup hidden energy source."

When it was really necessary, he released Yan Yan and exploded with the group of trees.

At this time, Xia En remembered something again and asked Xian Ge.

"Can you take a photo of this memory?"

Xian Ge said uncertainly: "If there is a shadow stone, it should be possible, right?"

The image stone is a special alchemical product that can temporarily record part of the image.

Most often, it is used by federal law enforcement officers to collect evidence.

Sometimes it is also used for some erotic purposes.

Coincidentally, there is actually a photographic stone in the inheritance of Duke Nova.

Thinking of this, Xia En took out the shadow stone and handed it to Xian Ge.

Xian Ge immediately started operating.

The reason why Shane wanted to record this video is simple.

At this time, there are still some conservatives in [City of Giant Trees].

It was only because the reformists were growing stronger and the temptation of "rebirth" was too great that they were forced to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God].

If the truth can be revealed to them, although not all the tree people will change their minds, it will at least change the views of some tree people.

Of course, Xia En has not forgotten that his ultimate goal is to find the Elf Temple.

With the help of this image, we might be able to get help from some tree people.

"We have to talk to that old Hunter again."

…

…

"Grandpa Hunter was taken away by the executioner!"

The next day, Xia En and Yan Yan came to the underwater forest. As soon as they found the tree man Mumu, they heard the news.

Mumu's face was full of anxiety, even crying.

"Yesterday, not long after I told Grandpa Hunter about Uncle Farner's betrayal, the executioners came!"

"Grandpa Hunter took the initiative to confront them in order to make me hide."

"The result... the result..."

Xia En frowned and said comfortingly: "Don't panic yet."

"What was the crime for which it was taken?"

With yesterday's experience, Xia En also had a certain understanding of this small kingdom of tree people.

He knew that the "Executioner" was actually an existence similar to the "Law Enforcer", used to manage order in the [City of Giant Woods].

But with the defection of the elder Fana, the executioner gradually became a sharp knife that persecuted the conservatives.

Mumu stared at Xia En and whispered.

"Yes, they are secretly hiding foreign humans..."

Xia En raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he was exposed?

But then I thought about it and realized that this was probably an unwarranted frame-up.

Regardless of whether Hunter has anything to do with him or not, once he is taken away by the executioner, the initiative is already in the hands of the other party.

It doesn’t really matter whether Hunter is hiding himself or not. What’s important is whether the executioner thinks he is hiding it!
