Chapter 552 550. The Eyes of the Demon-Eating Tree
Although he was disgusted by what she had done, Lu Yu still gave Sarah, the original undead pioneer, the greatest respect, and he stopped the salivating flesh and blood chariot from eating.
Lulu's flames ignited Sarah's body, which had caused her countless sufferings, and turned her into dust bit by bit and dissipated in the wind.
"Without the variable Carlton, we really have nothing to do with you..." Looking at the jumping firelight, Sierra gradually calmed down. After her inner anger was soothed, she could finally easily deal with the most powerful person she had ever encountered so far.
Tricky Magician comments.
The incubators were wandering around, and Lu Yu issued the highest order - to eliminate all active spirits around them.
Not everyone will form a spirit body after death, but Lu Yu, a magician like Sarah who has unique insights into the art of spiritual body manipulation, firmly believes that she will definitely leave some traces.
While sorting out Sarah's relics, Lulu found an unused earth attribute defense scroll, a scroll of Sayer's offensive spiritual magic, and another stone giant's heart. It seemed that she was worried about the spirit body.
Special preparations for unexpected events when leaving the body.
If the teleportation circle is indeed incomplete and eventually leads to the collapse of the world, and they die together, Sarah can use the stone giant's heart to form her own necromancy phylactery and become the world's first "immortal".
"She didn't complete all this in advance, which means that she is also worried about the final result of this magic." Lulu murmured, "If no one forces her to take that step, she will also be afraid of the final result.
The moment you pass death... it's so amazing. It's clear that you are a necromancer. You have seen the death of so many lives and you have already realized it, but you still feel unavoidably timid when it comes to that moment."
Lulu's words reminded Lu Yu and Sera of Clarence in Twilight City.
He spent a long time overlooking most people of that era and had insight into world affairs. He was so wise and outstanding. However, when he was old, he inevitably stepped into the "reincarnation" of the group of people he once despised.
Avoid death with them.
"Is it the Goblin King who looks back upon death..." Lu Yu thought of the king he saw at the beginning of his journey again.
After being in this world for so long, Lu Yu had only seen the so-called kingly spirit in him.
He is clearly the strongest person in his clan, and he is clearly the top magician around Yas, but he is extremely calm when facing death, as if he is walking on a road home that he has set foot on countless times.
The communication array arranged by Sera has sent a message to the Dawn Leader, but from dawn until the sun jumped above the horizon and illuminated the earth, they still did not receive a reply.
In the second half of the night, he continued to patrol around, cooperating with Manta Ray, Xiao Guang, and the Shadow Army to search for the incubator of the spirit body. They returned to Lu Yu, stretched out his tongue and licked Lu Yu's tentacles, and then shook his head repeatedly.
Xu Ji, who also cooperated with the action, reported: "There is no spirit body nearby. Except for some monsters and villages that seem to exist in the distance, we found nothing within the range of our induction."
In the chat room, the three of them were stunned at the same time.
Sierra suggested: "Wait a little longer."
Lu Yu had no objection. This time he ordered the incubator to continue to expand the range of perception, and at the same time let the manta rays, small lights, etc. spread in other directions.
During this period, they finally received a reply from the Dawn Territory. Based on the time and the degree of distortion of the message, Lu Yu concluded that the transmission had brought them to a continent outside Mera, but not too far away.
Although I am curious about where I am, I can't leave now.
They waited until the sun rose and the sun set. The feedback given to Lu Yu by the hatchers and other summoned objects was still "there is no sign of any spiritual activity."
This waiting lasted for two days, and the three of them were finally convinced that Sarah had no spirit left.
Sera did not hesitate to destroy two rare stone giant hearts and let the incubators drain all the magic contained in them to avoid accidents and strive to be foolproof.
When leaving the place where Sarah died, Sierra suddenly asked quietly: "Do you think she is completely dead?"
Lu Yu and Lulu fell into silence, and they both heard the worry in Sera's tone.
At a time when the definition of death has changed, no one can easily say for sure, not to mention that Sarah is the first generation pioneer of the undead.
Lulu suddenly smiled and said proudly: "Even if she is not completely dead, I don't think it is a simple thing to come back to life. Even if she can return to her peak, what height can we reach?"
"This is a racing game where if you don't advance, you will retreat. Those who fall behind will be mercilessly abandoned by the times."
The depression that had been accumulated in the hearts of the three people for a long time was completely dissipated because of Lulu's words, and the chat room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
I don’t know how much time passed, but Serra once again started humming a ditty from the Theocracy. The quiet melody attracted Lu Yu to imitate him, but Serra mercilessly complained that he was “tone-deaf, and even humming was out of tune.”
Lulu, who was in charge of controlling her body, was swaying and feeling relaxed. Especially after she heard Sera and Lu Yu enter the most classic bickering mode, she subconsciously imitated a bird and swung her tentacles as if they were wings.
At the beach, Lulu found the breath of the living they sensed, but this living being was a little special.
This is a starfish about two meters in size. Its skin color shows a gradient from light gray to black. At first glance, its skin surface seems to be covered with a red basketball net, with a large number of spikes.
The protrusions in the shape of the five-pointed star form the "points", and the irregular lines connected between the points resemble the meridians of the human body, radiating from the center point of the five-pointed star body to all parts of the body.
This huge red starfish wriggled forward on the beach, and the sudden appearance of Lu Yu and others did not interrupt its progress.
Looking towards the low-tide beach not far away, more starfish peeked out from the waves.
They landed silently on this beach where there were no intelligent creatures. Their bodies were constantly releasing magic power that was closely related to the water attribute, as if they were feeling their surroundings in a daze.
The three people who originally wanted to ask for location information to confirm their location stared blankly at this scene that looked like a great migration.
A bunch of fireworks bloomed in the darkening sky at dusk, and the explosion caused the three of them to look up.
The "Woo-Woo" conch sound suddenly sounded, and it was a sound coming from a location completely opposite to the beach.
"The conch horn, and this familiar magic mobilizing rhythm... this is the sea monster marching!" Sera was the first to react, and quickly called Lulu to hide.
Lulu looked around and found that nothing was suitable. However, the soft sea sand that the starfish had climbed on looked very good, so she plunged in without thinking. She tried her best to pull down with her tentacles, and used her body to pupate for a while, completely hiding herself.
.
The battle above their heads has begun. Although there is no way to directly see it, the magic perception tells the three people that the starfish has suffered heavy losses. This cannot even be regarded as a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
Vast numbers of words and spirits intertwined in the air, resonating with magical power. Thick water mist floated on the scene. The strong corrosiveness made the flagella and thorns on the starfish's body "sizzling". Lu Yu could even imagine a sizzling barbecue in his mind.
picture.
The general rank of this group of sea monsters is not high, but their combined combat power is quite amazing. It is no wonder that even in the era of dragon and Melias rule, they did not launch even a single conquest to the offshore - they were not united and loose.
The structural Kraken is the least threatening.
"Is this because the starfish is afraid of unknown forces in the sea coming ashore and being attacked by the sea monster?" Lulu was curious.
Sera was also very confused: "It doesn't look like it. According to what Eunice and Vera said, it can be judged that only the Kraken family felt the crisis coming, and other creatures behaved extremely normally... There are indeed some intelligent starfish species.
But I've never heard of them landing in large numbers, it's not normal."
Lu Yu's tentacles grabbed a sandworm that was avoiding the fight and rushing towards it. If there was a human being at this time, his eyes would be shining, and he would even drool when thinking of a certain delicacy.
"How could I forget this delicious guy?"
"tasty?"
Lulu and Sera's attention was attracted, but when they saw the long strip on Lu Yu's hand that was constantly expanding and contracting, the crickets and chrysalis, and the insects trying to struggle out of the tentacles, their voices suddenly became louder.
"This is what you call delicious!"
"Yes, it's delicious... Why, don't you look down on bugs? Even bugs can be used as wonderful dishes. You can make porridge, soup, fry them and eat them as French fries, and steam them to taste their sweetness and chili.
It's also great when eaten cold with oil, or made into dried sandworms... What kind of psychological fluctuations are you having? We've been together for so long, you should have some trust in my taste buds, right?"
"That's what I say...but in the final analysis, these are insects." Sera showed great resistance.
Lulu subconsciously asked after experiencing the initial surprise: "You can do it?"
"certainly."
"If you eat, I will eat."
"boom!"
The huge impact caused by the explosion threw the sand into the air, and the choking smoke rushed straight to the door of Sanmei Ball. In the black mist, a blue beam of light cut straight like a laser knife. Sanmei Ball was still discussing the sand and dust a second ago.
I was caught off guard and hit by a beam of light, which hit me hard.
The sandworm in San Keqiu's hand didn't last until the pot was put into the pot, and was wiped out together with a starfish not far away.
Sanmeiqiu, who just felt a little pain, didn't bother to pay attention to the big fight between the sea monsters and starfish. He took a direction and planned to leave.
"Look, there are black starfish that can only float. They look very strange."
The siren's voice made Sera stunned. She recognized that it was the classic Mera language family, which proved that the other party was also one of the continents deeply influenced by Mera culture.
The Kraken sounded again, and a majestic, somewhat epic sound field surrounded the beach.
Many of the sea monsters who were chasing other starfish turned their heads and stared at Three Coal Balls with cold eyes.
"Kill it, it must be the product of the evil spirits possessing the starfish!"
Seeing the magic light flowing from the sky falling like raindrops, Lu Yu summoned the Demon-Eating Tree without hesitation.
"Eat as much as you can, and when you're full, fry it for me!"
Although the general level of the sea monsters present is only fifth level, and only a few are sixth level. Their overall combat power is barely comparable to the worst of the sea monsters that invaded the Dawn Territory, but the unreasonable thing about the sea monsters is the spirit of speech.
Ensemble, if they don't use tricks and hard steel, Sarah's undead army will fall in front of them.
The increase in Lu Yu's strength also made the Demon-Eating Tree make great progress. It is now much bigger than the first time it was summoned, the vines and branches are thicker, and the eyeball fruits densely distributed on the branches are even more abundant.
The branches are bent.
Before the sirens present could carefully observe what the sudden appearance of the towering tree looked like, they suddenly felt that the magic power around them had become thinner. The originally smooth chanting of words and spirits was full of sluggishness, and the continuously extending magic perception seemed to be bumped into.
A towering wall.
The powerful magic baptism hit the Demon-Eating Tree intensively, making his already old body shaky, like an injured person, with dark green juice gurgling from the damaged branches.
The second round of mindless word spirit bombing was in place, and the large mouths of the Demon-Eating Tree finally opened. The sea monsters trembled as they watched the bottomless mouth swallow up all the magic power around them. The magic power they mobilized was like
It was being strangled tightly by an invisible giant hand, and all the magical rivers were dominated by this strange tree in front of me at this moment.
With just one mouthful, the wounds of the crumbling Devil-Eating Tree began to recover on a large scale, and the dazzling greenery continued to shine, adding a bit of vitality to the beach in the evening.
The "eyeballs" on the branches and vines matured quickly. Feeling the rain of words and spirits that was about to break through the sky, they rushed to leave the Demon-Eating Tree, squinting slightly, laughing, jumping... and stumbled towards the sea.
Demon.
This may be the first time this group of sea monsters have seen such a terrifying scene. Countless eyeballs came straight to them. Although the word spirit can cause damage, it is not fatal. In just a few breaths, it has already arrived.
before.
As if given an order, the first "eyeball" leaped high into the sky, releasing dazzling light all over its body. The surging magic power bloomed, and the shock wave set off by the explosion swept away the sea monster at the front.
The explosions caused by the fruits of the Demon-Eating Tree came one after another. Amidst the roar in the sky, an unknown siren shouted "Run", and then there was a great rout that even the Siren Conch could not stop.
Nearly a hundred sea monsters scrambled to swish their tails and galloped backwards. Although the damage caused by the explosion was relatively limited, the psychological fear of facing the unknown prevented them from thinking calmly.
They clearly heard the eyes that had not yet left the Demon-Eating Tree using unknown organs to emit bursts of harsh and terrifying laughter, and they also saw the eyes that appeared and disappeared under the healing windows of the Demon-Eating Tree.
Sanmeiqiu watched the group of timid sea monsters fleeing numbly, feeling quite like I'm going to fall before I can do anything.
The starfish behind them stood up at some point and stared at the Demon-Eating Tree, which was swaying with vines and branches and happily interacting with the summoner.
