Pirate Sequence: Start with Outlaws.

Chapter 180 Trees and Flowers

What Henry discovered, Rune had actually discovered long ago.

The spell of all living things in his body was triggered the moment the locusts approached.

He could feel that the black energy contained in these locusts seemed to be an opposite to all living things, and was exactly the same as the aura in the evil spirits before.

This was not the case with the first group of locusts we encountered when we first entered the ancient battlefield.

Therefore, these locusts underwent a short-term mutation after devouring those black flowers.

If you look closely at the black energies within these bodies, you can discover that although they appear in black external forms, they are completely different from the immortal power.

The power of immortality is simply black in form, but it contains a lot of vitality.

The black substance on these locusts was almost overflowing with the aura of death.

As the locusts continued to attack, the black aura attached to the formation.

The array patterns were constantly breaking and reorganizing, making the final resistance.

Rune also discovered at this time that Henry's previous description of the locust attack was not accurate.

The black substance in the bodies of these locusts is not corroding the formation, but is purely destructive!

Seeing the power of this form,

Rune couldn't help but suspect that the previous evil spirit was captured from this ancient battlefield and created with the help of alchemical formations.

He already had some related speculations in his mind.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

The current focus should be on the swarm of locusts in front of us!

Millions of locusts are no joke. They enveloped the transport ship like a huge dark cloud.

No matter how much speed the entire ship increased, it was of no avail.

"Increase the power of the defensive formation, don't be stingy with resources!"

"All facilities and formations on the ship have entered overclocking mode!"

Henry's orders continued to come.

After a brief adjustment, a huge buzzing sound suddenly sounded throughout the interior of the ship.

The entire ship began to tremble, and the violent shaking made people feel that the ship would fall apart in the next second.

But it was visible to the naked eye that the strength of the defensive formation had increased by more than one level, and it could temporarily block the attacks of these locusts.

At the same time, the formation also has some counterattack power.

The locusts can cause certain damage to the formation when they hit it, but if it happens too many times, they themselves will be killed by the recoil.

For a moment, these locusts came like moths to a flame and were burned by the "flame".

But they still kept going forward without backing down.

In this closed ancient battlefield, they have not seen fresh flesh and blood for a long time. In their eyes, Rune and others are the supreme delicacies.

The pursuit continued, and Rune himself had done his best to attack the locusts around him.

The bodies of the locusts fell like raindrops.

But after more than ten minutes, the locusts around were still endless, and there was no end to the battle in sight.

At this time, the transport ship was already in danger due to the high intensity of overloading.

"Colonel! The transport ship can't hold on any longer!"

"The core temperature is too high. In a few minutes, the core will be in danger of being damaged at any time. Should we stop and slow down temporarily?"

The crew responsible for the operation of the ship came forward with anxious reports.

"Stop?" Henry frowned, "You can't stop!"

"Wouldn't it be suicide to stop now?"

"Convey my order and continue to move forward at full speed. As for how long can the core hold out?"

"Who cares? It all depends on luck!"

"Yes!" After receiving Henry's reply, the crew immediately went back to adjust the core posture.

This time we really have to fight these locusts to the death!

When Rune heard their conversation, he also had his own thoughts in mind.

These locusts are too fast. Even if the transport ship can hold out for five minutes, ten minutes, or half an hour,

These locusts will still chase you relentlessly and there is no way to get rid of them.

When the resources are exhausted or the core is damaged due to high temperature, everyone will die here!

So we have to think of some other way.

"Perhaps, we can use the living beings of all laws to help build a defensive formation?"

"After all, all living things and these dead atmospheres are completely opposite."

Now that he had an idea, Rune did not delay.

"Colonel Henry, I need control of the defense formation."

Rune spoke up.

Henry looked at Rune with a little surprise.

Then he immediately handed him a Beloberg badge.

After getting the badge, Rune immediately realized the defensive formation of the entire transport ship.

The formation on the top of the transport ship, which was right above them, was the weakest at the moment and was on the verge of breaking.

The formation situation in other places is not optimistic either.

The super-level alchemy formula was running, and all the details of the surrounding array patterns were no longer obscured in his eyes.

The entire formation has changed from a general whole to a microscopic perspective that is broken down into minute details.

After understanding all the formations, Lu Wen already had an idea in his mind.

Green fluorescence emerged from his body, and the spell of all living things was quickly activated.

The star-like fluorescent light blended into the entire formation, suddenly bringing full vitality and vigor to the formation!

The originally broken formation began to repair itself quickly, and the green light enveloped the entire transport ship.

The people around were somewhat surprised to see this scene.

But then they saw that the light came from Rune, and everyone understood.

For Mr. Carlo, no matter how surprising his actions are, they will find it very natural.

And when these green lights were integrated into the formation, the frequency of the surrounding locusts' attacks became significantly faster.

Their mood became very irritable!

It seemed as if it wanted to quickly use the black energy in its body to expel the green energy.

Seeing this, Rune confirmed his guess.

All living things have a mutual restraining effect on black energy.

The more uneasy the enemy is, the more it proves that you are doing the right thing!

Moreover, Constantine's tests are linked together, and the alchemical spells learned in the previous stage can produce effects in this stage, which is also a reasonable choice.

The green energy of all living things may seem gentle, but in fact it is extremely lethal to these locusts.

As soon as they touched the defensive formation, they were vaporized immediately.

Not even the corpse was left, only some broken powder floating in the air.

With the support of all living beings, the defensive formation suddenly became powerful.

For a moment, the surrounding locusts could no longer cause any damage to the formation.

Henry was filled with joy, and immediately gave an order, "Turn the ship around and charge directly towards these locust swarms!"

Beloberg's transport ship shuttled through the locust swarm, and all the locusts that touched the defensive formation on the ship were killed.

For a moment, the offensive and defensive situation was reversed.

Rune was immersed in using the All-Living Spell to repair the defensive formation of the transport ship.

Every time he used the All-Kingdoms Creature, his proficiency in it increased and his understanding became deeper.

The surrounding locust swarms, after suffering heavy damage, gradually began to notice something was wrong.

I don't know if the effect of the black flowers has disappeared, or if they have discovered that they can't capture Beloberg's ships.

In short, they flew away quickly after a moment.

After the swarm of locusts that covered the sky and the sun left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't expect that the locusts that they had despised before would have such strength after devouring the black flowers.

"Take a break for now, and then explore again!"

Henry immediately gave the order.

The core was overloaded before, it's time to cool down.

Rune also came back to his senses from the formation and returned the badge that controlled the formation to Henry, but was rejected by the other party.

"Now this badge will be more useful to you!"

Henry patted Rune on the shoulder, which also represented that he now had complete trust in Rune.

The whole team rested for about half an hour and then set off again. This time, everyone's target was the black sea of ​​flowers.

In the entire ancient battlefield, the black sea of ​​flowers is eye-catching.

Coupled with the strange behavior of the locust swarm after devouring the sea of ​​flowers, it also aroused people's interest in the sea of ​​flowers.

The Beloberg transport ship slowly stopped less than 500 meters away from the sea of ​​flowers.

Rune and others on the deck observed the wonder of the sea of ​​flowers closely.

The black flowers in the sea of ​​flowers look strange, and there is no similar one in any records.

This kind of flower is about one meter tall, and there are no extra leaves on the stem below.

Only the branches are bare, with four petals that look like paper pinwheels.

When the wind blows, the petals will rotate slowly or quickly according to the wind direction.

Seeing this, Casruituo on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "These flowers are really strange!"

"Look, those spinning petals are like the head of the flower. It spins when the wind blows!"

"It's like a person's head is cut off, but the neck membrane is still connected and keeps rotating."

Kasruto's strange metaphor made everyone feel a little nauseous and they could no longer look directly at the flowers.

Little Carter, who was standing by, added, "You're still thinking too superficially. In fact, the flowers of these flowers should be their physiological organs."

"That is to say, it wasn't his head that was cut off, but..."

Little Carter's words made the others feel a chill down their spines.

Casruituo even had a look of annoyance on his face.

Although the conversation between the two people had no reference value, this kind of joking language did relax everyone's tense nerves.

After observing for a while and confirming that these flowers would not actively attack people, Rune simply jumped off the boat.

He slowly approached the flowers, but his spell of all living things was still running continuously.

After a moment, Rune immediately felt fortunate for his caution.

Because as he approached the sea of ​​flowers, a repressed emotion began to gradually grow in his heart.

This emotion is exactly the same as the emotion I felt when I received the evil spirit before!

It’s just that the emotions brought by this sea of ​​flowers are more fierce and direct.

If it weren't for the bottom line of the All Living Things Spell, I'm afraid Rune would have been a little immersed in it.

Even his own powerful spirit felt a little difficult to deal with, let alone others.

After Rune learned this, he immediately stopped the person behind him from approaching.

The person behind him also noticed the abnormality immediately and waited obediently where he was, allowing Rune to go in and explore alone.

Rune became more cautious after entering the sea of ​​flowers. The previous swarm of locusts became crazy because they accidentally ate these flowers, and they wanted to devour and destroy all the living things in front of them at all costs.

Looking at the flowers in front of him, Rune gently stretched out his finger and tapped the rotating petals.

The flower he touched suddenly collapsed and shattered like a seaside building made of sand.

The black powder floated in the air, swirled, and then returned to silence.

A drop of cold sweat ran down Rune's forehead.

This contact seems calm, but it actually hides danger.

He could feel the deep hostility of this land towards outsiders.

He carefully left the sea of ​​flowers, then called everyone back to the transport ship.

"What's going on next?" Henry couldn't help but ask when he saw Rune being so cautious.

Rune slowly looked at the tree in the sky. He said, "Just now when I touched that flower, I suddenly realized the origin of this ancient battlefield."

“It’s this tree right in front of us.”

"It was once the World Tree!"

"In the great war more than a thousand years ago, the World Tree died, countless gods fell, and the setting sun was locked here."

"The entire battlefield has its own aura because of the infection of evil spirit and dead silence."

"Because the World Tree is rooted here, it has also absorbed the blood and tears of this land."

"This tree, due to its own strangeness, has also given birth to another form."

"The tree of death."

"Wherever it grows, it will be tainted with the breath of death."

“Whether it’s animals or plants, they’re all going to change because of its impact.”

"The blood and tears of the Gods' twilight are the cause here, and the black flowers of death are the fruits of the fallen trees."

"The tree of death and silence is the source of everything."

Hearing Rune's words, Henry nodded thoughtfully, "So, these flowers are not important. The key to unlocking this area is that tree?"

"But, if these flowers are so dangerous, what about that tree..."

Rune stood up and said, "Don't worry, the tree itself is just a tree, there is no danger."

“The real crisis comes from the output of trees and the creatures affected by them.”

"Okay." Henry took a deep breath, "Then head towards the tree!"

After saying this, he was also quite worried. "It seems that I have to bring more people to the Tomb of Constantine next time. The previous records did not show such a dangerous situation."

Beloberg's boat began to move towards the tree in the distance.

This journey lasted for three days and two nights.

The tree that seems very close is actually very far away.

Along the way, we encountered three more locust attacks, all of which were avoided with targeted measures.

"Ahead, we're about a day's journey away from the 'tree'!" the crew came to report.

Henry stood up and pounded his waist in boredom. "We are finally here. Everyone, be ready to fight at any time!"

Not long after, the crew reported again, "Report, it seems that other Principality ships have been spotted ahead, they seem to be in distress!"
