Chapter 1510: Chapter 843: Dragon Blood Vine Tree Man
“Brother Liang, these liquids smell so good.” Lu Yuyan couldn’t help shouting.
However, Liang Yuan suddenly sensed something wrong. After inhaling the fragrance of these liquids, He felt His superpower starting to run sluggishly!
“This is bad, there’s something wrong with this fragrance!”
Realizing this, Liang Yuan immediately barked, “Don’t breathe it in, there’s a problem with this scent!”
He grabbed Lu Yuyan in one pull, and Lu Yuyan let out an ah as She was yanked into His arms.
At the same time, Liang Yuan shot up into the air, His body floating in midair, cut off from the pooled liquid on the ground.
He had already been holding His breath, and His Spiritual Power rapidly formed a defensive shield, isolating Him from these outside liquids.
But as He rose into the air, Lu Yuyan suddenly sensed something and cried out in shock, “Brother Liang, your feet!”
Liang Yuan looked down and saw that the pair of Nike sneakers He’d been wearing had already been mostly corroded away, exposing His soles.
Right now His soles were completely red, with threads of blood even seeping out.
Yet He hadn’t noticed at all, not even feeling the slightest pain!
Liang Yuan’s heart jolted. “These liquids are highly corrosive!”
He immediately summoned a stream of water, quickly rinsing off the viscous fluid on His feet.
After a thorough wash, He looked toward Lu Yuyan’s side and saw that Her high-heeled leather shoes had also been corroded, but the quality was clearly much better than His shoes.
They hadn’t eaten through to Her soles.
Liang Yuan let out a breath of relief, His expression turning grave as He said, “These liquids are secreted by this flower and are extremely corrosive.”
“But how come we don’t feel anything at all?” Lu Yuyan asked nervously.
Liang Yuan said in a low voice, “It should be that the fragrance in these liquids has a certain anesthetic effect.”
“Try running your superpower now, see how it feels?”
Lu Yuyan nodded obediently and immediately activated Her superpower.
A sheen of fragrant sweat oozed from Her forehead as She said, “No good, I feel my superpower running really stiff, like even my thoughts are slowing down.”
Liang Yuan’s gaze flickered. “Just as I thought. The fragrance here has an anesthetic effect, probably similar to some kind of neurotoxin.”
“Good thing we noticed early. If we inhaled too much, we really might have been corroded by these liquids without even realizing it.”
Liang Yuan was secretly shocked in His heart at this moment.
With His Spirit Attribute as high as 202 points, He actually hadn’t been able to detect the problem with this corrosive liquid. That meant this stuff was truly extremely toxic.
With that thought, a notion suddenly stirred in Liang Yuan’s mind.
“If I collect these liquids, then refine and filter them, further concentrate them, could I create an even more terrifying neurotoxin?”
Thinking this, Liang Yuan immediately took out a huge plastic barrel from His Sumeru Space and set it directly beneath the flower’s pistil to catch the liquids.
He then took out another plastic barrel and began collecting all the liquids inside the flower.
In no time, all the liquid in this enormous flower-chamber was cleared out by Him.
Liang Yuan changed into a new pair of shoes, then brought Lu Yuyan down to the ground again.
Lu Yuyan said anxiously, “Brother Liang, what about my dad and the others?”
Liang Yuan said, “Don’t panic, I’ll take you out first.”
As He spoke, He pulled Lu Yuyan, and the two of them turned directly into two shadows, instantly ignoring the petal barrier in front of them and slipping out of the flower.
Once outside, Liang Yuan quickly determined the direction and soon saw the only closed petal around them.
Liang Yuan pointed at that petal. “Your dad and the others should be in there. Come on, let’s take a look.”
He grabbed Lu Yuyan and swiftly slipped into that flower.
Entering the flower’s interior, they saw the same fragrance-filled liquid everywhere.
At that moment, above the pistil, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru were both standing there, each shrouded in a defensive shield, their faces filled with anxiety.
“It’s no use. How can this be? How come my Wood Elementalization can’t slip into the petals?” Lu Dayou said anxiously.
Liang Minru said urgently, “These liquids aren’t water, I can’t Control them either.”
“Hoo, don’t panic, there has to be a way.”
“Don’t breathe, there’s something wrong with the scent in here.”
As Lu Dayou spoke, He stretched out His hand, trying to Control the surrounding petals to open.
Yet His Wood Attribute Ability seemed to have no effect here at all; He simply couldn’t manipulate any Wood Attribute plants.
“How can this be?”
“These wood attribute elements seem completely beyond my Control.”
In the shadows, Liang Yuan and Lu Yuyan had already slipped into the interior of the petals. Seeing this scene, Lu Yuyan was just about to speak.
Liang Yuan suddenly sensed something, immediately covered Her mouth, and gave Her a slight shake of His head.
Lu Yuyan didn’t understand, but saw Liang Yuan look up and point at the pink sky that hung above like a curtain.
There, in the very center of the sky, a gigantic orb, like an eye, was watching the movements inside the petals.
As if sensing something, that orb suddenly rotated, looking toward Liang Yuan and Lu Yuyan.
Liang Yuan instantly held His breath and focused, Dark Attribute energy silently wrapping around His body as He completely merged into the shadows.
The orb rotated once, seemingly not finding anything unusual.
Then it rotated again, focusing its gaze on Lu Dayou and Liang Minru.
At this moment, seeing that He still couldn’t break through the petal barrier, Lu Dayou couldn’t help growing more anxious.
Liang Minru couldn’t help saying, “Dayou, try your Heart Core.”
Hearing this, Lu Dayou thought for a moment, then immediately activated His Heart Core, fusing His internal superpower and trying to Control the ground again.
Buzz!
The earth trembled at once, and all the soil and wood around them shook in response.
“Oh? It’s working!”
Lu Dayou was instantly overjoyed.
Beside Him, Liang Minru said nothing else and immediately activated Her Brain Core, trying to Control this huge flower.
After the two of them operated together for a while, they indeed shook this bizarre flower-chamber. The entire flower swayed as if about to topple, and the petals trembled open, revealing a thin crack.
The two of them were instantly delighted.
“Go!”
Lu Dayou immediately grabbed Liang Minru and leaped toward that crack!
Whoosh—!
The crack grew wider and wider, and in just an instant, the two of them had already flown out of it.
But before they could fly away from this gigantic flower, countless vines were already surging in from all around.
Creak, creak—!
The vines were like chains, rapidly wrapping around the two of them.
They had no time to react at all before they were once again imprisoned by the vines.
And at the same time, that enormous flower also slowly bloomed.
Liang Yuan and Lu Yuyan witnessed the whole thing.
They saw that round, eye-like thing suddenly shrink.
Moments later, as the vines spread, a beam of green light condensed within the crisscrossing vines into a humanoid shape.
It was a creature made of a tree trunk, like a stick figure.
It sat on a leaf, sizing up the Lu Dayou and Liang Minru it had trapped.
“Heh heh, so it’s you two. I didn’t go looking for you, and you actually came looking for me first.”
The Tree-man sat on the leaf, letting out a weird laugh.
It could actually speak!
Lu Dayou and Liang Minru were utterly shocked.
“Y-You… what are you? How do you know us?” Lu Dayou asked, startled and suspicious.
The Tree-man cackled, “Hey, you rode my vines up here, I gave you a Heart Core, and you don’t recognize me?”
“What!”
Lu Dayou’s expression changed dramatically, staring at this Tree-man in disbelief.
The Tree-man laughed and said, “Figured it out yet? I’m the true master of this Heaven-and-Earth Divine Banyan. Heh heh, you two, seeing me and you still don’t kneel?”
Lu Dayou and Liang Minru’s faces went pale, their eyes full of confusion.
In the shadows, Liang Yuan and Lu Yuyan were also somewhat stunned.
Clearly, none of them had expected that deep in Divine Tree Island there would be such a strange thing, claiming to be the island’s master.
This was something no one had seen coming.
Lu Dayou couldn’t help but say, “What the hell are you, really?”
Liang Minru was so terrified her face turned white, not daring to speak.
Everything in front of her had already blown past the limits of their understanding, leaving her completely afraid to open her mouth.
The Tree-man chuckled lightly, “Me? I am the Dragon Blood Vine parasitizing this Heaven-and-Earth Divine Banyan. The Divine Banyan is dead; I am now the master of this Heaven-and-Earth Divine Banyan.”
“You two are the spokespersons I carefully chose. I bestowed Heart Cores upon you, and you don’t even thank me?”
Lu Dayou stared at this Tree-man in shock, his mind going numb.
He truly couldn’t figure out the reason behind the other’s actions.
“Spokespersons? What do you mean?”
“Heh, still don’t get it? I need you to work for me. The Four-Dimensional Passage has already opened. The flood that you see as the end of the world is, in fact, a colossal opportunity for us.”
The Tree-man chuckled as he revealed a secret that left Lu Dayou and Liang Minru both stunned.
“Four-Dimensional Passage? What does that mean?”
Lu Dayou hurriedly asked.
Even Liang Yuan in the shadows couldn’t help but widen Spirit’s eyes.
This Tree-man seemed to know some of the truth behind the flood apocalypse!
But the Tree-man didn’t answer him, instead saying, “Stop asking. With your current level of Evolution, you’re not qualified to know these things. Tell me, why did you break into my domain?”
Hearing this, Lu Dayou fell slightly silent.
The Tree-man’s expression instantly darkened. “Courting death. I’ve already given you a chance, and you still want to be all secretive with me?”
“Looks like if I don’t show you a bit of color, you really won’t understand what I can do!”
As it spoke, the Tree-man suddenly stretched out a hand and pointed at the two of them.
In an instant, Lu Dayou felt his heart pounding wildly.
The Heart Core he had already refined suddenly felt as if it were about to tear his chest open.
He immediately clutched his chest in agony, letting out a howl.
“Aaah—”
Beside him, Liang Minru wasn’t faring any better. In her head, that Brain Core was like a seed, about to sprout inside her skull, as if it could rip her brain open at any moment.
She clutched her head, screaming just as miserably, fresh blood streaming from her nose.
“Hahaha, did you really think the Heart Cores and Brain Cores I gave you were that easy to take?”
“Foolish human creatures, heh heh, beg for mercy now, submit to me, and I can let bygones be bygones.”
The Tree-man burst out laughing, its face full of smugness.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan’s heart gave a jolt. This Tree-man wasn’t a human creature?
Could it be that it itself had evolved from a Mutant Beast?
Beside him, Lu Yuyan grew agitated; seeing her father in such pain, her eyes reddened.
Liang Yuan saw this and knew that if Spirit didn’t act now, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru would truly be in danger.
At once, Liang Yuan’s body leaped out, emerging from the shadow state.
Spirit grabbed the agonized Lu Dayou and Liang Minru in one swipe.
Their bodies rapidly turned Phantom, and in the blink of an eye, they had already become two shadows.
Instantly, in the shadow state, the intense pain in their brains and hearts vanished.
The Heart Core and Brain Core also seemed, in that moment, to have turned into two shadows!
