"Real." After absorbing all the remains of the bug, Tessa Mocha stood up and turned to Leo, saying, "The seeds of the mother tree are derived from reality and feed on illusion."
Looking at Tessa Mocha, Leo frowned, and Sylvia on the side also showed a solemn look on her face. They did not react like this because there was something wrong with Tessa Mocha's words, but because of Tessa Mocha's current state.
Although Tessa Mocha's appearance and body shape have not changed at all, his temperament and energy fluctuations have completely changed. At this moment, both of them can feel an invisible pressure.
"I feel the illusion in you!" Tessa Mocha suddenly said to Leo again.
"What do you want?" Leo asked back, "Are you absorbing the illusion in me?"
Tessa Mocha shook his head and said, "I will when you are swallowed by illusion, but now is not the time."
After saying this, her unique temperament and invisible power also retreated like a tide, and she returned to normal again, but she did not show any surprise at what happened just now. Obviously, she also knew very well what she was doing just now.
"What are you doing?" Sylvia stared at Tessa Mocha with a solemn look on her face and said, "You know you just now..."
"I know." Before Sylvia finished speaking, Tessa Mocha nodded and said, "Of course I know what I am doing. This is exactly what I want. It takes some price to assimilate the seeds of the mother tree."
"Do you still choose to go that route?" Hearing Tessa Mocha's words, Sylvia quickly thought of something that the other party had mentioned, her face was a little gloomy, and she said, "In the end, you will probably become its nourishment."
"That's good, at least I can become the next mother tree." Tessa Mocha looked at Sylvia calmly and said, "I just chose to go the path I should have taken."
"You who believe in the way of nature are all madmen." Sylvia snorted coldly, turned around and stopped saying anything.
The three of them continued to follow the route indicated by the map and entered another ice cave passage. The entrance to the ice cave passage was a bit narrow and could only barely pass by one person. However, after entering a distance, the passage expanded like a trumpet and turned into a large passage with a diameter of more than ten meters.
According to the data measured last night, although this passage will be much spacious than the entrance when penetrated deeper, it is only six or seven meters in diameter, which will not be as spacious as more than ten meters.
At first, one of them was caused by internal changes in the ice cave, but soon the large number of insect claw marks remaining on the ice wall around the ice cave made them realize that this ice cave passage was not formed naturally, and its widening overnight should be related to insects.
Although I don't understand why the worms have to broaden the ice cave passage, I can imagine that they will never do meaningless things, and I can speculate that those worms are bound to be at the end of this passage.
The three of them did not think much and continued to move forward quickly. After walking for about an hour, Leo, who was leading the way in front, slowed down slightly and looked at the ice wall next to him. His gaze seemed to penetrate the ice wall and saw the situation on the other side of the ice wall.
"What's wrong?" Sylvia asked in a deep voice.
"There are bugs over there, and they have discovered us." Leo sensed through the spiritual net that some bugs were trying to chisel the ice surface and introduce sea water, but obviously they underestimated the solidity of the ice wall. The ice layer in the inner wall of the passage may be easily chiseled by them, but the closer it is to the outer layer, the stronger the ice layer is. It is difficult for the insect's claws to dig a small hole in those ice layers...
Because Leo and his team created extremely subtle vibrations on the ice, this vibration will not disappear, but will be transmitted due to the connection of the ice cave channels.
The extremely keen bugs seemed to have passed the slight vibration from the ice, sensed Leo and the others, and confirmed Leo and the others' location with great accuracy. After digging two ice walls, they found that they could not penetrate the ice wall. After reaching the ice cave passage where Leo and the others were, they quickly moved towards the direction of Leo's travel.
It seems that they are going to the next ice cave node and finding the entrance to the frozen passage where Leo is located, and it is likely that they will gather a large number of bugs to rush over.
Leo then explained the situation, then turned around and looked at Tessa Mocha with Sylvia.
"Next, let me lead the way!" Tessa Mocha said calmly, then bypassed Leo and walked forward.
Leo had no objection to this and followed Tessa Mocha with Sylvia and continued to move forward.
After about half of the time of disappearance, the three of them felt the ice layer under their feet suddenly vibrate slightly, and heard a lot of slight rustling sound from the front, feeling that a large number of insects should be rushing towards this side.
Tessa Mocha, who was walking in front, signaled Leo and Sylvia to stop, and then she walked forward for a distance alone and stood still.
Then the energy fluctuations in her body suddenly changed and became extremely strong. It seemed that it should have been converted into another consciousness formed by the seeds of the World Tree.
When the energy fluctuation of Tessa Mocha's body reached similar to Sylvia, the other party's body suddenly turned into the shape of countless vines. Then the vines flew out to the surroundings, and the sharp tips pierced into the surrounding ice layer, forming a large net of vines. At the same time, a large number of flowers bloomed in the middle of the net, and these flowers emitted a smell of fishy smell.
"It smells so bad!" Sylvia mocked her without hesitation.
Just as her mocking words fell, some vines appeared on the vine net, forming a universal swearing gesture of Viagra, and raised it at her.
Sylvia continued to sarcastically and said, "I hope that when you turn back to the same state, there will be no stinking on your body, otherwise you will try to stay away from us."
The vine then changed another gesture, also a swearing gesture.
"Here!" At this time, Leo's spiritual network that expanded outwardly had sensed the strange insects. It was more appropriate to call them insect tides at this moment. The entire cave was densely filled with insects, which made him recall a small battle against the cosmic Zerg that he had participated in.
The current situation is so similar to that at that time. The only difference is that he was just a cannon fodder biochemical warrior who could be sacrificed at any time, and now he is a strong man who is almost inferior to the level of a high-level psychic.
Just when past memories emerged in Leo's mind, the insect tide had advanced to the spread of the smell of the smell of the fishy flowers. The insects that smelled the smell all rushed towards this side as if they were crazy. While rushing over, they would inexplicably attack the likes beside them. Before they could rush down to the vine net, the corpses of insects had already fallen into the ice cave passage.
The insect that rushed in front suddenly hit the giant vine net. The impact force was so great that it sunk inward. Although the vine looked very fragile and would break at any time, in fact, the impact force was extremely tough and could not cause any damage at all.
The moment the insect touched the rattan card, countless tiny capillaries pierced from the vine, pierced into the body of the insect, extracting any nutrients that make up the shape of the insect, and the insect also wilted and melted at an extremely fast speed.
The insects behind did not see the tragic situation of their companions at all. They rushed down on the giant net like a moth that was flying into fire. They were captured and swallowed by the giant net one by one. The insects behind continued to rush up to fill the gap.
The giant vine net transformed by Tessa Mo has an extremely fast digestion speed for these insects. A half-human-high insect will be swallowed up in just a few seconds at most, without even a single residue. Although the insect swarm is huge, it cannot withstand such swallowing. In addition, the insects will become extremely violent due to the fishy smell and kill each other. In the end, in less than ten minutes, the thousands of insect swarms have been wiped out. Even if there are still alive, they have broken limbs and broken arms without any combat power.
At this time, Tessa Mocha's transformed vine net loosened the vine tentacles that were tightly clasped on the surrounding ice walls, and then curled into a ball, rolling forward slowly, and Leo and Sylvia followed.
Along the way, all the worm corpses touched by the vine ball were quickly digested, and soon the corpses in the ice cave passage were swept away, leaving only some worm blood and body fluids that formed ice.
After all the bugs were cleaned up, the vine ball continued to shrink, shrink to the size of one person, and then gradually changed back to Tessa Mocha's appearance. The warm clothing she used to wear was destroyed just now. Now the clothes she was wearing were transformed from vines and looked a little thin, but what was more conspicuous was not her thin plant clothes, but her figure at the moment.
Although Tessa Mocha's face has not changed in any way, her figure has increased several times horizontally, looking like a spherical body.
"Haha! It's so funny!" Sylvia laughed loudly without hesitation and mocked: "What are you so full? Or should this be your figure, and what you saw before was just a disguise!"
"Hmph!" Tessa Mocha, who also found his health abnormality, knew that his current situation was indeed as Sylvia said, and he couldn't find a suitable statement to refute for a while. He could only snort coldly and then said to Leo: "I will be able to recover after a while."
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry." Leo nodded and found a place to sit down next to him. Sylvia did not let the other party go at all, and continued to sarcastically sarcastically around Tessa Mocha. Tessa Mocha had a few rebuttals at the beginning, but when he arrived, he simply closed his eyes, looking like he was invisible.
As Tessa Mocha said, it didn't take long before her bloated and obese figure began to gradually shrink, and in a few minutes, she returned to her normal state.
"Can you keep moving?" Leo stood up and asked Tessa Mocha.
Seeing Tessa Mocha return to his original appearance, Sylvia sighed with regret as if she had lost a good toy.
"It's OK!" Tessa Mocha glared at Sylvia, then nodded at Leo.
"Wait a moment, will you still deal with those bugs?" Leo asked again.
Tessa Mocha thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Let me leave it!"
The group continued to move forward, and on the way, they encountered three or four batches of insects one after another. The number was obviously much smaller than the first batch, and there were only two or three hundred. However, their size was much larger, and their shape was more ferocious and more difficult to deal with. It can be seen that their status in the insect swarm was different.
After walking for about three hours, they passed four or five ice cave nodes. Each ice cave node had a small insect nest, but there were no insects in these insect nests, and only some larger and more aggressive insects.
"Let's take a break!" After seeing Tessa Mocha swallowing a big bug, Leo suddenly made a suggestion.
"Yes." Sylvia nodded in agreement.
"We can..." Tessa Mocha frowned, as if he didn't like the suggestion and was about to say something.
"No, you can't." Sylvia looked at Tessa Mocha with some seriousness, then took out a mirror and handed it over, saying, "Look at what you are now!"
Tessa Mocha was stunned for a moment and quickly took the mirror to look. As a result, she saw that her face in the mirror was extremely pale, her skin became transparent, and she could clearly see the blood vessels under the skin. These blood vessels were lying on her face like some kind of parasitic plants, making her look very scary.
"Okay! Let's take a break." Although Tessa Mocha felt that his body was better than ever before, he could see from his appearance that something was wrong with his body. So he nodded and followed Leo's advice, found a place to sit down, and began to check his body.
However, what puzzled her was that no matter how she checked, she could not find any problems with her body. However, the swelling blood vessels and pale skin on her face showed no sign of subsidence. This situation she had never encountered before made her feel a little worried.
When she was unable to find out the problem, she also tried to suddenly see the consciousness that the mother tree seeds were raised to see if this consciousness could solve the problem in her. But strangely, no matter how she exchanged it, the mother tree seeds never responded. If she hadn't been able to truly feel the existence of the mother tree seeds, she might really think that the mother tree seeds had disappeared.
