A sumptuous dinner began in the palace. Those attending the dinner were Hela's close friend, Treya, and Treya's daughter and son-in-law. Modgud, who brought the people here, also participated.
Because Xilu liked this little guy very much, she didn't eat much at the dinner, but sent a bunch of things to Modgud. Seeing the happy face of the little guy, Xilu felt very happy!
During the banquet, Lin Zheng expressed his curiosity about Nidhogg, the black dragon that was eating tree roots, and asked Hela, the black dragon's neighbor, about him.
"Has that guy really been eating tree roots before?"
"Not before!" Hela said, "He is still eating tree roots!"
Hey--?!
Lin Zheng was surprised when he heard this, "Didn't that guy run out during Ragnarok?"
"He ran out to participate in the war!" Hela nodded, "But after the war subsided, he ran back and continued to eat!"
This result was really speechless. When he came back to his senses, Lin Zheng said: "Then you don't care? After all, you all live on the World Tree. What if that guy takes the real world?
What should I do if the roots of the tree are chewed off?"
"Why should you care about him?" Hela said with a smile on her face, "You must have heard from the outside world that Nidhogg was chewing the roots of the World Tree in order to bite it off, right?"
"Is not it?"
"Of course not! It would be of no benefit to Nidhogg to know that outcome!"
Lin Zheng's expression was stunned. It makes sense! Who would do something that does no good? It's not crazy! "Then why does he keep chewing on the roots of the tree?"
"Of course it's for cultivation!" Hela said, "Nidhogg is a poisonous dragon, a cursed dragon. His power relies on poison and curses, and the World Tree is rooted in the world's barriers. By absorbing the world's barriers,
It grows with various energies and laws. Among them, there are strong toxins and curses. These things are actually harmful substances to the World Tree and will affect the health of the World Tree. These things must be digested.
, it is a very long process for World Tree! But these things are of great benefit to Nidhogg. Eating the roots is to absorb these things! And with Nidhogg and him
After their accomplices, they absorbed most of the toxins and curses absorbed by the World Tree. In this way, the remaining toxins and curses can maintain a relative balance with the digestion speed of the World Tree, allowing the World Tree to
Stay healthier!"
"In that case, that guy is still the doctor of World Tree!?" Xilu said with a look of surprise. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing!
Hela smiled and nodded, "That's right. Although he ate the tree for his own cultivation, it was an indisputable fact that he indirectly solved the world tree's troubles!"
"If you put it this way, he has been practicing under the roots of the tree. There should be nothing wrong with him at Ragnarok. Why did he come out to join in the fun?"
"Since you have heard about Nidhogg, you should also know something about that squirrel, right?"
After hearing this, Lin Zheng suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Are you talking about the squirrel named Ratatosk?"
"What happened to that squirrel Siegfried?"
Looking at Xi Lu with a curious look on his face, Lin Zheng smiled and said: "Legend has it that it is a very cunning and cunning squirrel. It is very fast and often travels back and forth between the top and the roots of the World Tree, provoking nirvana with lies."
De Hoog and Vid Fournier make them hate each other very much!"
"That's it!" Hela nodded. "Because of this relationship, when the war broke out, Nidhogg rushed out from the bottom and ran to find Vid Fournir to settle the score, but in the end no one got anything.
Well, we have no choice but to return to our respective places of cultivation after the war."
"I didn't expect there to be such an insidious squirrel!" Xilu sighed angrily, that squirrel was so bad! "By the way! Where was that squirrel? What happened next?"
"Is it?" Hela smiled, "Look at the ground."
Hearing this, Lin Zheng and the others quickly lowered their heads and looked at the ground. After taking a closer look, they immediately exclaimed. They had not noticed it just now, but now they discovered that the carpet under the dining table turned out to be a huge carpet.
fur!
When Lin Zheng and the others were exclaiming, Hela said: "One time, that guy was going to provoke Nidhogg again. But Nidhogg was away because of something, so that guy found me and was planning to provoke me and my sister.
Relationship! I really don’t care about life and death! My sister is just a stupid fool, how could she say bad things about me!?"
"So you just killed it?"
"No!" Hela smiled dangerously, "I just peeled it off and threw it in spicy oil. It's still alive and well now!"
Lin Zheng burst into sweat after hearing this. Sure enough, there is no smoke without fire! There is a reason why Hela is said to be so terrifying. If nothing else, this method of dealing with the squirrel is simply crazy! Skin it and throw it away.
In spicy oil? Fortunately she could say it so calmly.
"That's a bit too much, Hela!" Treya said softly.
But Hela curled her lips and said, "Not at all. That guy dared to speak ill of that idiot sister. It's lucky if I didn't kill it!"
"I'm afraid it would rather you just give it a knife!" Lin Zheng said in a dumbfounded voice, "By the way, it's not good for you to speak ill of your sister like that, right?"
"That's not a bad word. My sister is a bit silly to begin with!"
"Who are you calling stupid?!"
"Sister!" As soon as he finished speaking, Hela's expression was stunned. After looking around suspiciously, she murmured: "It's strange, why did I hear my sister's voice just now? Could it be that I'm too
Miss her?"
"You idiot!!" The awakened Jörmungandr slapped Hela's forehead with his tail, and a red mark immediately appeared on Hela's forehead, but Hela had no time to pay attention to the mark on her forehead.
He was injured, but stared at the pocket-sized Jörmungandr in front of him in shock, and he finally exclaimed: "Sister?!"
"Otherwise?" Jormungandr said angrily, "Don't you even recognize me? So you are the one who is stupid, right?"
After saying that, Hela reached out and grabbed Jörmungandr, and said in a daze: "I must be dreaming, how could my sister become so small!" Her sister is the world snake Jörmungandr.
!
"It's true!" Xilu said with a serious face, "This is Jörmungandr! It's because something happened that he became as small as he is now!"
After hearing this, Hela came back to her senses and said murderously: "Who?! Who caused my sister to become like this?!"
Listening to Hela's words, Jörmungandr's eyes showed a bit of warmth. After all, it was his sister. He then stretched out his tail and touched Hela's forehead, "No one, she is my sister. I became her sister."
Like this, if I insist on saying so, I have already killed that guy!"
This stinky beauty was killed by you! Lin Zheng curled his lips when he heard this, but considering Hela's mood, forget it, I won't expose her this time!
Under Jormungandr's comfort, Hela calmed down and said distressedly: "But sister, you feel too weak now!"
"Humph! Peace of mind!" Yemengga said happily, "Sister, I am indeed a little weak for the time being, but my body is stronger than before! When I recover,
No one in this world tree can defeat me!"
There is no future, so this idiot is just a stay-at-home guy after all! The most ambitious future imaginable is to become the strongest person in the world tree. At least you should take a longer-term view!
Compared to Lin Zheng, who hated iron for not becoming steel, Hela was very happy after hearing this, "As expected of you, sister. I was a little worried about your injury before, but I didn't expect that sister not only got better, but also became even more powerful.
Got it!"
"Is this..." Jörmungandr's eyes flickered a little. Even she couldn't continue to brag at this time. She could only say: "Actually, I have already died once!"
"Eh——?!" Hela's eyes widened when she heard this, and when she came to her senses, she quickly said: "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? Aren't you here just fine!?"
"Well, that's right! However, this body is no longer the original one. The original one is hopeless. I'll go back and ask Yong Lin to make me equipment!" Thinking of the equipment Yong Lin wants to make for herself.
, Jörmungandr could not help but feel excited and excited. She would finally have her own equipment, and it was made by Yong Lin, the most powerful weapon refiner. It must be very powerful!
Just when Jörmungandr was looking forward to the equipment that he had not yet obtained, Hela was so dizzy hearing that her original body was hopeless and she was going to make it into equipment. Her sister was a unique snake in the world!
Looking at Hela who was a little dizzy, Treya explained: "To put it simply, there was a second Jörmungandr in this world, and that Jörmungandr was influenced by Andvara Nott
When the soul was about to be destroyed, your sister appeared. She abandoned her seriously injured and dying body and merged with another Jörmungandr, thus breaking through Andvaranot's control.
There were some accidents during the fusion process, so she became what she is now!"
"Second sister?!" Hela was surprised when she heard this. This makes no sense?! The three of them are unique siblings. How could a second sister suddenly appear?
"It's true!" Jörmungandr said seriously, "The second sister is also very powerful, but that silly girl refused to fuse with me, so now there are two consciousnesses in this body!
"As he said that, Jörmungandr's eyes suddenly changed, and he said softly: "Hello, little sister, I am the second sister!"
"Eh——?! Hello, second sister!" Hela looked confused and stunned. Why did she get an extra sister out of nowhere?!
"Second sister! Look! It's so troublesome to be like this now. I asked you to fuse my soul power a long time ago!"
"What's wrong?! I like this very much. Not only do I have older brothers and sisters, but I also have a younger sister. I don't like the days when I'm alone. Sister, stop talking nonsense!"
Listening to Jörmungandr's voice that seemed to be talking to himself, everyone at the dinner table widened their eyes. Even Lin Zheng, who knew about it, saw the two sisters appear at the same time for the first time. This was so weird.
Interesting!
After looking at half of the pay, Hela finally came back to her senses and stared at Jörmungandr with resentful eyes, "Sister, you idiot!" She was already seriously injured and dying, and she even lied to her that she was fine and would take some time to recuperate.
Well, if she hadn't still had her second sister here, she would have lost this sister forever. Just imagining it made Hela feel scared!
Facing Heila's resentful eyes, Jörmungandr smiled coyly, "I don't want you to be too sad! I know my situation myself. At that time, I was already hopeless, so I don't want you to know.
!”
"But if you really disappear, I will be even more sad, sister, you idiot!" As he said that, Hela grabbed Jörmungandr and shook her hard, looking at Jörmungandr who was so dizzy that he was shaken.
, a burst of joyful laughter suddenly sounded in the restaurant. No matter what, Jörmungandr has not disappeared after all, and Hela has an extra second sister. This is a very happy thing. As for the past, it has been
Not too important!
And just when the restaurant was filled with such a joyful atmosphere, Lin Zheng's soul, through the guidance of Hela, unknowingly penetrated into Hela's palace! According to their plan, Hela would take Lin Zheng's actions
She didn't know anything. All she did today was warmly entertain her close friends. Of course, Jörmungandr's appearance was an unexpected surprise!
"Yiping, is this really safe enough?" Xun, who followed over, asked worriedly.
"Basically there will be no problem!" Lin Zheng said quite confidently, "Even if that guy will doubt our purpose, firstly, he doesn't know that we know his existence, and secondly, with his behavior
Style, it is impossible for him to capture Hela for interrogation. Relying only on the information he has observed, he will never find an untrue answer! Of course, the most important thing is that you have to have some confidence in my illusion!" No matter what
No matter how suspicious the black hand is, once he can't find any clues in the roots of the tree, he can only give up his suspicion on this side and turn his attention to Asgard, the most suspected one!
While he was talking, Lin Zheng had already arrived at the underground palace of Hela Palace. Unlike the magnificent palace above, Hela's underground palace may be the true face of the legend. As soon as he entered the underground palace, a strong death aura hit his face, and it was eerie and terrifying.
The aura completely surrounded Lin Zheng in just a moment! Looking around, one by one, ferocious corpses were wandering aimlessly in the underground palace, emitting shrill ghost whistles from time to time!
Strictly speaking, these wandering corpses that appeared in front of Lin Zheng were not undead, because they did not have souls. They were just monsters formed after the corpses were acted upon by divine power and resentment. They were not much different from puppets! But because
Hela's long-term cultivation of these things with the curses and toxins absorbed by the World Tree has made the strength of these monsters quite amazing. Each monster has an ability close to the eighth level, and each one is a ghost level.
Is this because they were consumed during Ragnarok? If they had not gone through Ragnarok, then these monsters raised by Hela in the underground palace would be even more powerful!
The existence of these monsters also adds some security to Lin Zheng and his team's operation this time, because these monsters will only accept the command of Hela. Others, even Lu Te, will also suffer from these once they enter here.
Monster attacks! What’s even more puzzling is that these monsters have extremely sharp senses. No matter how clever the stealth method is, you can’t avoid their induction! Powerful strength and keen induction ability are enough to put an end to the thieves.
Entering the underground palace is enough to confuse the black hands who may come to search. As for Lin Zheng, doesn't he have a superb illusion skill?
The powerful sensing ability of the wandering zombies comes from their enhanced body senses. In this way, Lin Zheng's illusions have a place to be used. It is naturally difficult for ordinary illusions to deceive these wandering zombies, but with Lin Zheng's methods,
Coupled with the assistance of Kongtong Seal, it is enough to easily deceive these wandering zombies and make them think that Lin Zheng is one of the wandering zombies!
Lin Zheng, who held the Kongtong Seal in one hand and transformed into a wandering corpse, continued to go deep into Hela's underground palace. As a safe place, Hela built many places here to store treasures, and Jormunga
Compared to this poor guy, her sister is much richer, but the level of tool making here at World Tree is not very good, so the finished products collected by Hela are really a bit shabby in Lin Zheng's opinion! Of course
, at least much better than that poor guy from Jormungandr!
After discussing Hela's collection, Lin Zheng, under Xun's urging, rushed to their destination, which was the deepest part of the underground palace!
Hela's underground palace slopes downward. The bottom part has penetrated deep into the roots of the World Tree and reached the center of the roots. Here, Hela built a large magic altar. Through this altar, Hela
It can continuously absorb curses and poisons from the World Tree and spread them throughout the underground palace to cultivate the wandering corpses in the underground palace.
When they saw this altar, Lin Zheng and Xun immediately exclaimed. Although they had heard from Hela that this altar was very huge, they still underestimated the scale of the altar! Looking at it, they could see that
I saw an altar thousands of meters high standing in the center of the tree root. The altar was covered with green lines and shone with green light from time to time. And this was only its height. Its diameter must be at least 100 meters tall.
A hundred kilometers away, Lin Zheng and the others could basically only see a big wall blocking their eyes.
After flying up in the sky, you can finally see the entire altar clearly. It is a circular altar, or a ring. The center of the altar is hollow, and green beams of light shoot up from the center of the altar. These jets rise up
The green light beam is the energy nutrient absorbed by the World Tree. Just from the concentration of the beam, it can be seen that the energy nutrient absorbed by the World Tree is indeed quite thin. Not only is it thin, the energy absorbed is even
It cannot fill the entire pipe of the tree roots. For a growing world, this amount of energy, even if multiplied by three, is still pitiful. It is no wonder that it needs to be watered by the spring of Wuerde!
