It was late at night, and a strange sound suddenly rang out near a cemetery near a small city hundreds of miles away from the federal imperial capital.
First, something heavy fell to the ground, and then there were faint sounds of footsteps and voices. The tombkeeper, who originally wanted to go out to take a look, was so frightened that he covered his head with a cup, shivered on the bed, and prayed to God.
However, what actually appeared at this time was Nim and others who had separated from Luen after disappearing from the Black Sea and had no news of them.
"Finally home!"
Nim's voice sounded in the dark night. Compared with before, after being promoted to the bishop level and experiencing things that many people could never imagine in their lifetime, the youthfulness on his body almost completely faded away. He stood there like a statue of a god, exuding
Show a firm and powerful momentum.
The time I spent in the nightmare world this time can be said to be the longest, so after returning to the real world, I felt like I was in another world, greedily breathing the breath of this world.
"Coming back is the beginning. We must tell others about this as soon as possible!"
Next to him, stood the stern-looking Delina. Judging from her aura, she had already reached the level of Grand Priest. She glanced around a few times and her brows were furrowed.
"I don't know where I was randomly sent. I hope it's not too far from the imperial capital!"
"It shouldn't be too far!"
After breaking through to the bishop level, Nim's perception of the nightmare world and the real world has also improved greatly, and he can now have some unimportant influence.
"Anyway, let's go find Lu En first. He should be one step ahead of us and return to the real world. Moreover, the mermaid lady and the turtle are still in danger..."
"You care so much about that fish. Do you have any plans for her?"
While Nim was talking, Delina's expression suddenly changed. She stared at Nim with her hands on her hips and her little mouth pouted.
"Noxia...we agreed to let Delina come out first?"
Nim held his forehead and spoke in a rather helpless tone. Who could understand the pain in his balls when the building suddenly tilted while he was just discussing the matter.
"Delina won't tell you, but she definitely wants to ask, please confess quickly, do you have any special thoughts about those long legs?"
Delina, or rather Noxia, had a cunning light in her eyes at this time, completely ignoring the other crazy soul in her body at this time, and even felt a little complacent.
“This is about taking precautions before they happen, and nipping things from the bud that haven’t happened yet!”
The two figures gradually disappeared into the night with helpless sighs and questioning sounds.
Click...
After a long time, all the movement outside was seen. In line with professional ethics, the cautious tombkeepers walked out with a shovel in their hands. In the cold cemetery, the tombstones were neatly arranged, obscure and difficult to see in the darkness.
However, facing this scene, the tombkeeper breathed a sigh of relief. Although most extraordinary powers in this world have been concealed, it is still relatively easy to come into contact with such things in certain professions or places.
For example, a morgue or a cemetery.
Some evil spirits or corruptors do not dare to attack living people, and sometimes they will shift their targets to dead people, or some dead people, who are themselves the products of their creation, will occasionally appear as fake corpses.
These days, even tombkeepers are about to become a high-risk profession.
After taking a brave look around, he found nothing out of the ordinary. The tombkeeper gradually put his heart back in his stomach and was about to go back and drink some wine as a sleeping pill when his eyes suddenly froze.
Where Nim and I were just standing, a small piece of yellow-brown soil, together with the emerald green grass, suddenly began to rot, turning into sticky black, and gradually expanded, and a bone-white arm suddenly poked out of it.
Come out!
...
"I see......"
At this time, in another unknown world, Lu En was also muttering to himself as if he had suddenly realized something.
No wonder he always felt that the existence of the home tree was a bit strange.
Not to mention the abruptness of such a big tree that blocks out the sky and the sun. Compared with other towering ancient trees, they are barely even bean sprouts. However, there are probably too many ethnic groups living on it.
For a tree, the first thing it needs to ensure is its own survival. But now, there are countless groups like goblins in the entire home tree who almost rely on sucking sap to survive. For the home tree, these
It's no different from the parasite that sucks blood and marrow.
Even some ordinary plants, faced with such a situation, will take various measures to resist, such as secreting and synthesizing some toxins, but these home trees have none, as if they have grown to such a scale just to provide these creatures with
Food and shelter.
It's hard to explain from the biological habits, but from other aspects, it's very easy to understand.
The home tree is not a natural occurrence, but a tool created by some kind of creature!
Its purpose is precisely to attract these groups to live on it, waiting for the start of a certain project.
World invasion plan!
After the information stored by Mushu, Lu En suddenly discovered relevant information. Although it was not much, it was like a thunder, which shocked him.
Although the plan did not explicitly propose an invasion of the real world, Lu En knew without thinking that besides the real world, was there a second world that they could invade?
In short, some creatures in this world have been implementing this plan a long time ago. Judging from the information obtained by Lu En, it would take at least hundreds of years for the seeds of a home tree to grow to such a scale.
The Home Tree and the creatures on it are actually bridgeheads and cannon fodder. These ethnic groups living on the Home Tree are actually carefully selected in secret, just like goblins, creatures that can explode in large numbers at critical moments.
And Mushu is indeed the manager of this home tree.
However, the information does not mention which creatures are behind the plan, and what the more specific plan is.
In fact, this is just some additional information when it comes to the origin of the home tree. It seems that the Mushus don't care about these things, and all their energy is focused on how to maintain and manage the home tree.
Lu En felt that these whiskers might be a specially created creature just like the home tree.
Although he couldn't get any more information, Lu En didn't panic, because among the information, he knew that these Mushus also had another place where a large amount of information was stored, which was located at the root of the home tree and was even larger than this one.
In fact, there are at least dozens of information points similar to what Lu En found on the Home Tree, but the one at the root is the most important and largest one, and may be called the total information node.
Lu En felt that the remaining answers might be found there.
But first, he had to deal with some minor troubles.
Buzz!
There was a loud sound of flapping wings, and then the leaves above Lu En's head were violently torn to pieces, and a large group of rotating blade-like creatures rushed towards him with great momentum!
