Chapter 148 Devil Fruit
Kunlan came back: "I found a way, so do you want to continue discussing the first kiss, or come over and take a look?"
Jiyu had already picked up her long bow and walked forward. After walking a few steps, she exclaimed, "This doesn't seem to be a man-made cave."
Hearing this, Cangdu raised his rifle and looked around using the lighting accessories on the gun. This cave corridor was very different from the one they came from. The cave corridor in front of them had rugged roads and varying widths.
The magnitude is huge.
The widest place allows two people to walk side by side, while the narrowest place requires turning sideways to pass.
Moreover, there are water stains on the top of the cave. It seems that there should be underground water flowing through it, so the environment in the entire cave is relatively humid.
"This is a naturally formed cave, so if we are lucky, maybe we can reach the ground directly." Kunlan led the way. He seemed to be accustomed to this kind of environment. He was very comfortable walking through the cave and kept walking the whole time.
, so that the three people behind him almost lost track of him.
Cangdu whispered: "This little blue hair didn't grow up underground, right?"
Tianyang also felt that Kunlan seemed to have a natural intuition about this cave system. Maybe it was not surprising that he really grew up underground.
After a while, Kunlan stopped. There was no road ahead of them, but at the feet of the blue-haired boy, there was a winding tunnel that led to nowhere.
Tianyang threw a fluorescent rod down. After the fluorescent rod collided with the stones in the tunnel, it finally stopped.
The cold light emitted illuminated a tunnel that was more than ten meters deep and stretched diagonally downwards, with the middle twisting like a sheep's intestines.
Kunlan volunteered: "I'll go down first, and you can just follow me. Be careful and don't climb too fast. Sometimes, when you miss the mark, you will fall into a natural pothole."
"If your luck is even worse, it might be a bottomless pit. Go deep into the ground and always be in awe."
After being told, the blue-haired boy began to crawl into the tunnel. His movements were methodical and agile. Like a monkey, in the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the location of the glow stick.
There seemed to be a turning point in the next section. Kun Lan lowered his head and leaned forward, and the person disappeared into the tunnel.
Others climbed down one after another.
Jiyu and Cangdu went down to the cave one after another, and Tianyang took care of the rest. They walked through this winding and undulating tunnel for nearly four or five hours.
At their best, they can walk hunched over; at their worst, they crawl like worms in narrow spaces.
After walking around and resting for about ten times, when Kunlan kicked away a stone blocking the way, a cold wind suddenly poured in.
It was windy and cold, which meant that they had arrived underground. And this place should be quite empty.
Kunlan threw a fluorescent stick beside the cave. The fluorescent stick quickly fell to the ground. It was easy to see in the cold light that their location was less than three meters from the ground.
The blue-haired boy jumped down, but as soon as he landed, a red light suddenly lit up in front of his eyes.
He quickly lay down on the ground and looked up again. It turned out that there was a plant rhizome not far away, crossing the open space.
The fat rhizome, which was as thick as an oil barrel, had large and small cocoon bubbles growing on it. At this moment, all the cocoon bubbles on the rhizome lit up, emitting a crimson light, illuminating the entire space with a layer of blood for no apparent reason.
In the cocoon bubble that glowed with blood, Kunlan suddenly saw a large ball of liquid rushing through. In the liquid, there was half a human arm.
That arm even wore armor and gloves. Judging from the standard, it seemed to be a soldier of the conventional army.
Tianyang, who was in the cave, also saw the same scene: "It's these things again."
Jiyu came to his side, and the hanging hair gently swept Tianyang's face, making the young man feel a little itchy.
"Are these the weird plants you saw underground before?"
Tianyang nodded: "It's them."
"Look ahead." Cangdu stretched out his hand and pointed to the dark side.
In that darkness that seemed like eternal night, light began to shine. Pieces of red light rose one after another and formed the outline of a towering tree!
It was simply an ancient giant tree. Even though it was far away, you could still see its tall and straight figure.
Tianyang suddenly thought, could those rhizomes be the roots of this tree?
The tree roots alone are so thick and penetrate so deep that they probably spread throughout the entire underground system.
So, it seems not surprising that such a tree has the height of a building.
Kunlan called softly from below: "Would you like to come with me to have a look, or stay here?"
Now that they all came underground and found an exaggeratedly large strange tree, naturally no one wanted to stay. Tianyang and the other three jumped to the ground one after another, and everyone followed the root on the ground.
After walking for a long time, I found more and more similar roots. They seemed to be extending from all directions, and finally they all gathered together.
The place where these roots are concentrated is the giant tree!
Not long after, the four-person team stopped and hid behind a huge rock. Looking forward from behind the rock, the strange giant tree was not far away.
From this distance, you can clearly see that the tree trunk of the thing is almost as thick as a small building.
The tree is more than fifty meters tall, and the twisted branches stretch out in a radial manner. There are no leaves, and the branches like arms are close to the dome. It looks like they are supporting the underground space.
The tree body is flowing with blood-colored light, and the light dims and brightens, as if the tree is breathing.
Tianyang activated his tactical eye, zoomed in on the screen, and saw that the tree was intertwined with roots, and in the gaps between the intertwined roots, long and short arms stretched out!
Those arms are not dead, but alive! They wave slowly, fingers opening and closing, still trying to catch something.
Near this evil and weird giant tree, the corpses of black people in twos and threes were kneeling on the ground. Whether they were mad dogs or prowlers, they all faced the big tree, forming a worship circle.
There is no light emitting from the will cage on these black people, but their corpses are imprisoned by some kind of force and show no signs of decay and decomposition.
When he looked to the left of the giant Tianyang tree, his whole body was suddenly shaken.
Jiyu noticed something strange about the boy and asked softly: "What did you find?"
Tianyang didn't know the answer. In his tactical eye's field of vision, he saw a high-backed throne!
The throne and the giant tree were glued together, and they looked like an inseparable whole. On the throne, which was composed of tree roots, sat a figure.
Black Prince!
The Raven Team had previously discovered three black princes in the high wall, and Tianyang had a clear memory alone. However, he had never seen the one sitting on the throne now.
This black prince looks somewhat similar to the long-haired prince they met for the first time. He has the same style of crown helmet, but this helmet is more gorgeous, with complicated patterns, and there is a purple gem embedded in the crown.
She also has long hair, but it is pale and shimmery. When the wind blows, her hair flutters, like a pale flame dancing in the air.
That face looked more mature. If the long-haired prince I met before was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, then this face now looks more like a mature man in his thirties.
Moreover, it wears a set of lightweight armor with a simple shape. It seems to focus more on flexibility than defense.
Tianyang saw a pattern on the forearm armor it placed on the armrest.
It was a rhombus, with something like an eyeball in the middle, surrounded by twisted fine lines, just like what was seen on the black tree outside the corpse building.
Next to the throne, there is a sword. From the scabbard to the hilt, it is made of black and silver to form various patterns and patterns.
The sword has a slender blade and a majestic shape, like a king's sword!
Apparently Kunlan also discovered the black prince. The blue-haired boy said softly: "Hey, that's the black prince. It seems we have found a treasure this time!"
Tianyang said quickly: "Don't act recklessly. It is definitely not something we can deal with. It's best to wait until the captain and others arrive."
When the three black princes fought that day, the abilities they displayed far exceeded those of level 3 dangerous wizards.
Now the Black Prince sitting under the giant tree may have evolved again, and maybe even the level 4 Ascended One is no match for it.
Looking at the four of us, the one with the highest rank is Cangdu, and he doesn’t look like he has any chance of winning.
Kunlan chuckled: "Don't worry, I like to fight, but I'm not stupid. That thing looks very untouchable. Look at that armor and that sword."
"I have never seen such a black man. My intuition tells me that it is very dangerous! Super dangerous!"
At this moment, above the giant tree, there was a sudden rustling in the crown of the tree supporting the dome.
Even the Black Prince, who had been sitting still, raised his head.
Tianyang and others also looked up and saw a branch hanging down from the sky above the giant tree.
At the end of the branch, two delicate red leaves actually grew. In the middle of the pair of leaves, a fruit grew rapidly from small to large.
When the branch hung down not far in front of the Black Prince, the fruit was already the size of a fist.
The surface was extremely smooth, and the shape looked like an apple, but the peel was almost transparent. In Tianyang's tactical eyes, he saw clusters of crystal threads under the peel.
Those crystal filaments expanded, glowed, and contracted slightly. During this process, the fruit actually exuded a rich energy aura.
"What is that?" Jiyu exclaimed softly, "It can't be my illusion. Why do I feel incredible energy in that fruit? The aura it releases is already comparable to that of a high-ranking strong man.
There is no difference!"
Tianyang suddenly remembered something and turned to look behind him. The young man's eyes fell on those thick roots.
His pupils suddenly dilated slightly and he took a breath: "That thing is simply a devil's fruit..."
Several people couldn't help but look at him, wondering what Tianyang meant by this.
