Seeing how pitiful the flesh giants were, everyone had no choice but to release the war tree men, shepherd trees and petrified tree men to dig the ground, while Ange led the others down.
"Peel away to expose the black stone? How big do you need to dig it out?" The tree herder was a little confused. It just went in to bask in the eternal light, so why did it have to do so much work?
"The black stone can be dug as large as it is." Negris said.
"Then I have to dig out the whole forest. This forest is all on top of the eternal black stone. Didn't I tell you before?" the tree herder said.
"How is it possible? Is there really a black stone as big as a forest?" Nigris said in shock.
The tree shepherd had previously said that the entire forest grew on the ancient black stone, but everyone thought it was a bit exaggerated, because from a mechanical point of view, it would only take a meteorite with a diameter of more than ten kilometers to destroy all living things on the plane.
This forest has a diameter of several thousand kilometers. If such a large area of black stone were to hit the plane, the plane would definitely cease to exist.
The tree shepherd spread his hands: "It's so big. It was probably only a dozen kilometers away when it was first struck, but then it got bigger and bigger, and expanded to its current size. According to my estimation, it has occupied at least a quarter of the plane.
Its size, during the hundreds of years it expanded, the entire plane was changing violently, and the mountains and oceans were formed during that time."
The following words are meaningless. Everyone has been confused by the 'expansion'. A dozen kilometers of black stone fell down and expanded into a giant occupying a quarter of the volume of the plane? Is this still a stone?
This was obviously not a stone, and everyone was more interested in it. They asked the tree herdsman to dig as much as he could.
"Are you crazy? I'm just going to bask in the eternal divine light, and you let me do so many things, and I also have to move the flowers, plants, and trees to other places. Do you know how big the project is? Your kindness...Okay,
No problem, keep it with me." Looking at the three barrels of insect ash liquid thrown in front of him, the tree herder immediately changed his mind.
It dipped some worm ash liquid into the petrified tree man and tasted it. It knew very well the efficacy of this magical liquid. Combined with the ancient divine light bath, it could make dead trees bloom and old trees sprout, and it regained its youth.
After Ange walked away, the tree shepherd happily put the roots into the bucket and sucked in the roots. But soon he felt two black shadows coming over him. When he looked up, he saw that it was the war tree and the petrified tree.
People, the breeze blows through their treetops, making a rustling sound, conveying some kind of message.
The tree herder painfully divided the insect ash liquid into three parts, one for each tree.
After receiving the 'money', the tree man immediately became active and shook his head vigorously, making the leaves above his head rustle.
However, the war tree man shook a few times, and the leaves on his head soon fell off, turning into a bald tree man. The war tree man looked at his fallen leaves in confusion, and thought in confusion: It's not autumn yet? Why?
Did the leaves fall off?
…
Ange and his party landed at the bottom of the sinkhole and saw an... octopus egg?
"Are you blind? That's my beard, not the octopus legs, you damn lizard!" The octopus eggs echoed with the angry roar of the flesh and blood giant.
Negris scolded: "What's the difference? If an octopus has legs on its chin, it's not an octopus. It's not just an octopus egg, it's an octopus egg that can't hatch."
The octopus egg was angry: "Those are tentacles, tentacles!
Not octopus legs, you damn lizard, curse the tentacles on your ass.”
Ange's expression moved, but in the end he did not move.
I saw a wisp of smoke rising from Nigris' body, and a scream came from the octopus egg: "Ah! My ass! The curse rebounded? Why?"
"Why? Of course it's because my mouth is smarter than yours, hehe, I have tentacles on my butt, and I said you're not an octopus." Nigris chuckled.
Just before the octopus eggs were so angry that they were about to explode, Anthony stopped the bickering at the right time, and he had a good way of deflecting arguments.
"What's going on with you? Why are you like this?" Anthony asked.
"What else could it be like? When I was still an egg, suddenly one day, a black stone fell down and almost smashed me. The yolk was smashed away. The yolk was broken. It was impossible to hatch.
It can only be reshaped and molded until it becomes what it is now." Octopus Egg said depressingly.
"What about the humans who were contaminated by your consciousness? How did you do it?" Anthony asked.
"That's what I do. My body is Nightmare Saya, and consciousness pollution is my talent." Octopus Egg said.
"Haha, if I didn't know Nightmare Saya and I was really deceived by you, forget it, let's go and bury this hole." Anthony made a move to leave.
Octopus Egg suddenly became anxious: "No, no, no, I said, I said, pollution is the effect of these black stones, I just use the black stones to pollute my consciousness."
"What do you mean?" Anthony asked.
After a detailed interrogation, everyone finally figured out the origin of this octopus egg. As it said, it was originally the egg of a native Saya. Like Saya, it was a long filament.
However, the black stone fell from the sky and destroyed almost all living things in the entire plane, but it also inspired endless fear in the plane in a short period of time.
Saya was originally an ancient god who sucked in fear, and Saya's egg was no exception. A large amount of fear was converted into its energy, allowing it to survive the great plane catastrophe... It can't be considered a survivor, after all, the yolk was shattered.
, but the shell is not broken.
Saya's powerful vitality allowed it to slowly regenerate in this chaotic situation, but it was no longer Saya who was reborn, but a strange thing with tentacles growing on its chin.
This strange thing doesn't even have a name. It only has powerful mental power that can project its consciousness to far away places.
Because the egg was pressed underground by the black stone, after a long time, the shell has petrified. Although the egg inside has taken shape, it cannot break free from the egg shell and can only use mental power to control some creatures.
However, mental control must be continuous. If the opponent's mind is not on the other party, it will be easy to break away. Therefore, the target of control is very limited, and the quantity is difficult to meet the requirements of octopus eggs.
The ultimate goal of the octopus eggs is to control a group of creatures into the forest, dig them out of the ground, and then cut open the shell to release them.
Controlling too few numbers will not achieve this goal, but there is no good way. In the past, they used spiritual projection to pretend to be gods and ghosts, trying to establish a religion.
But in the realm where the Temple of Doom is strong, unless the religion it establishes is not big, it will be suppressed as soon as it grows.
Until by chance, the octopus egg discovered that the black stones pressing on it could attach its own consciousness, and then letting these black stones attach to other creatures could achieve a control effect.
Octopus Egg can't explain what kind of mechanism this is. It feels like a creature attached to a black stone. The body and consciousness are separated. The body is originally conscious, but as soon as it intervenes, it immediately replaces the original consciousness.
, let the body become a part of it.
Hearing this, Ange suddenly rummaged through his pockets and took out all the black stones that he had secretly hidden just now. He then dispersed, purified, cleared, protected, and cleaned up the powder that fell on his body.
The others also reacted and quickly dug into their pockets, realizing that everyone had hidden a lot of black stones.
"No, no, no, only the black stones attached to my consciousness can contaminate other creatures. I have never attached any of these black stones." Octopus Egg quickly clarified.
Anthony sneered: "You haven't attached consciousness, how do you know if others have attached consciousness? You think you control others, how do you know you are not the one controlled by others? You have the most black stones on your body."
"You..." The octopus egg squeaked in surprise, but it stopped suddenly. Then its breath changed drastically, and a new voice came from the egg: "How did you know?"
This time it was Anthony's turn to be stunned: "I...I guessed it randomly, is it really there? Are you...the Will of the Void?"
