Chapter 241 The true face of [City of Giant Trees]!

 After throwing yourself into the sea.

Xian Ge suddenly wrinkled his bronze eyebrows.

With the keen instinct of the bronze dragon, she noticed that there was a mysterious force spreading in the sea water, which made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

Then, Xian Ge lowered his head and looked at the [City of Giant Woods] below, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Is there such a dense and vibrant forest under the sea?

have to say.

Judging from the appearance alone, the scenery of [City of Giant Trees] can be described as spectacular.

Like a miracle from the Creator.

Even though Xia En had already briefly introduced the city to Xian Ge before, Xian Ge couldn't help but marvel a little when he suddenly saw this scene.

However, Xian Ge certainly did not forget the task assigned by Xia En.

After a brief moment of surprise, she became serious and whispered the mysterious Elvish language in a low voice.

This ancient language is now lost.

Just like those older dragon languages.

Even when Xian Ge recited the incantation, he seemed a little slow and jerky. He was probably worried that he would miss some syllables and cause the spell to fail.

On the side, Xia En silently listened to the recitation of Xian Ge, feeling both familiar and strange at the same time.

It was as if each individual syllable could be understood, but when put together, it became a completely unfamiliar language.

Shane suspected that he had not completely forgotten the skill of Elvish.

It just cannot be used normally due to some unknown restrictions.

As for why Xian Ge can still cast spells in Elvish language, it is probably inseparable from the race of his ancient dragon.

While Xia En was thinking, Xian Ge had undergone miraculous changes.

A dark golden light gradually lit up in her pupils.

Deep in the light, there seemed to be an ancient rune spinning, profound and thrilling.

It also made Xiange's face take on a mysterious temperament that was different from usual.

"Rune?"

Xia En's heart moved.

He knew from a very early age that language and writing itself possess magical and mysterious powers.

Moreover, runes seem to be closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary spells.

For example, when Xia En was plundering the [Magnetic Thunder Storm], he faintly came into contact with the runes that seemed to represent "Thunder".

However, at that time, the time when he came into contact with the runes was too short. Before Xia En could delve deeper, the runes disappeared.

But now, looking at the rune in Xian Ge's eyes, Xia En inexplicably understood its meaning -

【reality! 】

The existence of this rune is the cornerstone of the [Eye of True Sight] spell.

Realizing this, Xia En inevitably thought a little deeper.

Could it be that Elvish is special because it is closer to the essence of the secret power than ordinary languages?

But that's it.

The expression on Xian Ge's face suddenly changed. Her face turned pale, her pupils dilated, and her whole body trembled violently.

"Xiange, what's wrong with you?"

Xia En frowned and immediately realized something was wrong, and quickly asked: "What did you see?"

I saw Xian Ge's face getting paler and paler, and he murmured with his mouth.

"Run...run away! This city..."

Seeing this, Xia En immediately made a decision, holding Xian Ge's little hand and swimming quickly towards the sea.

…

…

After a while.

The two returned to the deck of the Black Swan, but Xian Ge still had a frightened look on his face, as if he had been greatly frightened.

Xian Ge's nature has always been out-of-the-box. At best, he's unrestrained and optimistic; at worst, he's arrogant.

Even her expression showed that Xian Ge was really frightened.

Seeing this scene, Joey immediately asked with concern.

"What happened to Xiange?"

"Mr. Captain, what happened to you at sea?"

Shane is weird too.

To be honest, Xiange just glanced at the "City of Giant Woods" with the "Eye of True Sight".

Could it be that this distant glance alone scared Xian Ge, who had always been bold, into this?

At this time, Joey softly sang an unknown ballad, using the secret power in the singing to soothe Xian Ge's frightened soul.

After obtaining the profession of [Deep Sea Singer], Joey gained more power from the Storm Goddess.

Among them is calming the mind, a basic ability that a storm priest must master.

As the gentle and soothing sound of the waves rang in Xiange's ears, her panicked spirit quickly calmed down.

Xian Ge opened his eyes again and spoke seriously.

"Captain, that city... is definitely scarier than you expected?"

"I suggest you not to explore there again in the future."

Xia En raised his eyebrows: "What's going on? In [The Eye of True Sight], what does [City of Giant Woods] look like?"

"Wait a minute, I can also use a magic called [Memory Sharing]."

Xian Ge tried his best to calm down, cast a spell again, and said, "Please take a look."

Immediately, a thin light curtain appeared in front of everyone.

The above shows the scene that Xian Ge saw from the first perspective.

At first it was the sight of entering the sea.

Then, there is the endless, lush and vibrant underwater forest.

Joey exclaimed a little: "What a big forest!"

"The vitality here is not much worse than the [Rhine Secret Realm], right?"

Xia En had already regarded the crew as life and death partners, so he naturally told them about the existence of the [Rhine Secret Realm].

In fact, in their spare time, the crew will also go exploring in the [Rhine Secret Realm].

On the one hand, it is to help Xia En explore this vast secret realm.

On the other hand, it is to pass the boring time while sailing and hone one's combat skills.

—Sometimes it’s not a good thing for a captain to be too capable. Sometimes the naval battle is over without them even needing to take action.

There is no sense of life-or-death crisis in the sparring between crew members.

It just so happens that there are many unknown and novel species in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which can be used as a whetstone for them.

Fei Ya, who was next to him, looked at the underwater forest in the light curtain and looked surprised.

"Strange...how can such a large forest survive in the sea?"

Tracey asked curiously: "What's so scary about this forest?"

Xian Ge didn't explain much, just sighed and said.

"You will understand soon enough."

As the time in Xian Ge's memory progressed, a faint dark golden light appeared on the light screen, and the scene in his field of vision suddenly began to shake like water waves.

Obviously, this is the memory of Xian Ge using the [Eye of True Sight].

When the scene turned from blurry to clear, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes.

Wherever there is life, there is no forest.

I saw that in the depths of the sea below, there was a layer of filthy things that resembled a carpet of bacteria, exuding a rotten atmosphere all the time.

There is also a withered and decaying tree man on the fungus carpet. If you insist on saying so, it is already equivalent to a mummy-like existence.

The branches of the tree-man mummies are like distorted flesh and blood, with sunken eyes and distorted faces, which seem to be telling endless pain.

And in the center of the entire city, the **** known as the "Giant Tree God" is not a huge tree at all.

And a huge, rotting heart of flesh and blood!

Countless red and black flesh turned into tentacles, suckers, mouthparts... The surface was also covered with various beating internal organs such as stomach, heart, liver, and kidneys.

The jet-black liquid, which was like substance, slowly flowed out from those mouthparts, dripped onto the seabed, and instantly spread into a twisted carpet of flesh.

This made this jungle of flesh and blood continue to expand outwards.

As the heart beats again and again, it stimulates the tree man mummies on the meat carpet to let out crazy and painful silent roars.

"this…"

Seeing this scene, not to mention the crew, even Xia En was deeply shocked.

"Is this the real [City of Giant Woods]?"

Even though he had seen the true face of [Seed of Life], he had some expectations in his heart.

But this city made of rotten, filthy flesh and blood still gave him a strong mental impact.

When he thought that he had stayed in this city of flesh and blood for so long, Xia En felt his scalp numb and his back chilly.

And this is still the scene after [Memory Sharing], and its impact has been reduced a lot.

One can imagine how frightened Xian Ge was when he saw this scene.

No wonder it became so flustered.

The crew members were also greatly shocked by the changes in the scene in the light curtain.

The main thing is that the before and after comparison is too obvious.

One second it was a forest full of life, the next second it became filthy and desecrated flesh and blood.

Joey couldn't help but worry: "Mr. Captain, do you have to explore this city?"

"I think... it's better for us to leave as soon as possible."

Shane shook his head: "I have a reason to explore it."

"But don't worry, I have a unique way of exploring and I'll be fine."

By now, most of the crew had vaguely guessed the secret of Xia En's [Deep Sea Diving], but neither party had revealed it.

The crew only regarded this as Xia En's special secret method and did not pursue it too much.

As captain, Shane's power on the ship is unlimited.

He had already made up his mind at this point, and the crew would naturally not try to persuade him any further.

Yan Yan, who was wearing a robe, suggested: "Captain Xia En, why don't you let me accompany you down there."

"Let me burn this forest clean!"

Yan Yan's expression was cheerful and sunny, but what he said was a little scary.

However, Yan Yan rarely takes the initiative to request combat.

After all, when that mysterious and powerful flame burns the enemy, it also burns his body.

Yan Yan can finally control his own flames now, but he doesn't want to fall into the **** of being tortured by flames every day.

Therefore, Xia En was a little curious about the reason why he took the initiative to ask for a fight.

Yan Yan said directly and frankly: "I don't know why, but I feel very unhappy when I see that huge heart. I always want to burn it."

accurate?

This is indeed a reason.

However, Xia En inevitably thinks of Yan Yan's mysterious past.

Yan Yan's origin is also unusual. Xia En can only barely guess that he may have some connection with the legendary "King of Salary".

Maybe, in his lost memory, he had contact with the [Giant Wood God]?

Xia En's eyes swept over Yan Yan, Xian Ge and An.

So far, these crew members have deep-hidden secrets that have not yet been discovered.

All of them have good origins, and all of them have unique bloodlines.

It seems that I am the only one who has made it this far with my own efforts and a little help from [Eye of the Secret Sea]...

Xia En put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and decided to take Yan Yan with him on his next dive.

Not that he really wanted to burn this rotten city down.

-Although most of the tree people in the city have converted to the [Giant Wood God], there are still a small number of tree people who insist on their beliefs and are still lingering.

We can't burn them completely as well, right?

Xia En decided to use Yan Yan as a "backup hidden energy source."

When it was really necessary, he released Yan Yan and exploded with the group of trees.

At this time, Xia En remembered something again and asked Xian Ge.

"Can you take a photo of this memory?"

Xian Ge said uncertainly: "If there is a shadow stone, it should be possible, right?"

The image stone is a special alchemical product that can temporarily record part of the image.

Most often, it is used by federal law enforcement officers to collect evidence.

Sometimes it is also used for some **** purposes.

Coincidentally, there is actually a photographic stone in the Duke of Nova's legacy.

Thinking of this, Xia En took out the shadow stone and handed it to Xian Ge.

Xian Ge immediately started operating.

The reason why Shane wanted to record this video is simple.

At this time, there are still some conservatives in [City of Giant Trees].

It was only because the reformists were growing stronger and the temptation of "rebirth" was too great that they were forced to fall into the arms of the [Giant Wood God].

If the truth could be revealed to them, although not all the tree people would change their minds, it would at least change the views of some of the tree people.

Of course, Xia En has not forgotten that his ultimate goal is to find the Elf Temple.

With the help of this image, we might be able to get help from some tree people.

"We have to talk to that old Hunter again."

…

…

"Grandpa Hunter was taken away by the executioner!"

The next day, Xia En and Yan Yan came to the underwater forest. As soon as they found the tree man Mumu, they heard the news.

Mumu's face was full of anxiety, even crying.

"Yesterday, not long after I told Grandpa Hunter about Uncle Farner's betrayal, the executioners came!"

"Grandpa Hunter took the initiative to confront them in order to make me hide."

"The result...the result..."

Xia En frowned and said comfortingly: "Don't panic yet."

"What was the crime for which it was taken?"

With yesterday's experience, Xia En also had a certain understanding of this small kingdom of tree people.

He knew that the "Executioner" was actually an existence similar to the "Law Enforcer", used to manage order in the [City of Giant Woods].

But with the defection of the elder Fana, the executioner gradually became a sharp knife that persecuted the conservatives.

Mumu stared at Xia En and whispered.

"Yes, they are secretly hiding foreign humans..."

Xia En raised his eyebrows. Could it be that he was exposed?

But on second thought, this was probably an unwarranted frame-up.

Regardless of whether Hunter has anything to do with him or not, once he is taken away by the executioner, the initiative is already in the hands of the other party.

It doesn't really matter whether Hunter is hiding himself or not. What's important is whether the executioner thinks he's hiding it!
