Chapter 343: Fruit of Beast Recognition, Flame Meteor
Save him? Me?
Yu Cang's expression was rather strange.
Look at what is before your eyes… A terrifying giant tree that is rooted in the sun and grows from the surface of the world wall towards the endless starry sky!
This giant tree is countless times larger than the entire Blue Planet. The intricate energy within it is chaotically surging. Even from such a distance, he can faintly feel countless forces trying to reach him through the seal of time and space. How can he go into such a place to save people?
Not to mention that he can't interact with the outside world now, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to get close to such a place.
...Wait a minute.
Yu Cang thought of something, opened the entry library, and looked at the entry implantation button... It was lit, and seemed to be usable.
If I could use a word recorder...
Yu Cang frowned slightly and fell into thought.
Let’s take a look again.
Yu Cang stayed where he was for a moment, and after confirming that the gradually denser energy around him could not threaten him for the time being, he took a step forward and approached again.
The world barrier is not just a thin layer, it also has thickness. Although this thickness is quite thin on the scale of the world, in the eyes of people, it is no different from a natural barrier.
As mentioned earlier, small worlds are "embedded" in the astral plane, like raisins in pudding.
Each "raisin" has a sun and a primary life planet. The world barrier is a sphere with the life planet as its center and the distance from the planet to the sun as its radius.
From the perspective of the small world, the sun is undoubtedly circling around the life planet on the world barrier, but in fact, if the perspective is switched to the star realm, the center of rotation of this system should be the sun.
Some small worlds will have more planets with life, or even more suns. Such a situation will make the changes in the world barrier even more bizarre and unpredictable. The interaction of forces between different galaxies will occasionally cause the sun to be swallowed into the world barrier.
This situation has brought a lot of trouble to the communication between the star realm and the small world. If you want to pass through the sun and enter the small world, you often need to calculate the time when the sun appears above the world barrier.
However, at present, this world is not that complicated. The sun has always existed on the world barrier and has no intention of diving.
The world barrier has a certain thickness. When it comes near the sun, the world barrier will be stretched thicker by the sun, but it will be easier to penetrate. This is why it is possible to enter the small world through the sun.
Now, the roots of the giant tree have completely covered this part of the world barrier. This scene is so serious that anyone with trypophobia would die on the spot.
As Yu Cang got closer, he could see more details of the giant tree.
It seems that the person who was trapped... was not the only one asking for help.
On the crown of this giant tree, there are countless "fruits". These fruits are like translucent gelatin, with starlight shining inside, decorating this giant tree as beautiful as a fairy tale.
But the details of this beautiful picture are enough to make people's hair stand on end.
Those fruits were not grown by the giant tree... but were captured by it!
That's not a fruit at all, but a set of sentient beasts!
These consciousness beasts were drawn into the dark branches, and countless brown lines pierced into the bodies of the consciousness beasts. Looking at the energy flow in them, it was obvious that they were devouring the rhythm in the bodies of the consciousness beasts.
This devouring process must be extremely painful, which can be seen from the expressions of those beasts. However, no matter how ferocious their expressions were, none of them made a sound, as if they were silenced.
Moreover, no one knew what the giant tree did to the consciousness beasts, but the rhythmic energy in their bodies all emitted dazzling starlight - although beautiful, it was obviously not a good thing. Even without the giant tree, this level of light would be a heavy drain on the consciousness beasts.
The light in some of the beasts' bodies has become very dim, and even if they are forcibly activated, there is not much left. Even half of their bodies have been dyed brown.
Yu Cang observed more carefully and found that near those consciousness beasts, on the crowns of the giant trees, there were many branches in the shape of consciousness beasts twisted into a ball... Perhaps, those were the corpses of consciousness beasts that had been sucked clean.
"Hiss..." Yu Cang took a breath of cold air.
He realized that something was wrong and quickly gave orders to Kong and Xu in his heart:
"Return immediately to where we parted, retrace your steps, and stay away from this world. I will come find you later."
This world is too weird. Even if the two consciousness bugs are not infected by Huang now, Yu Cang dare not take the risk.
After all, the giant tree in front of us cannot be created by "infection" alone.
In fact, although those beasts all had ferocious faces, they still looked rational. Some of them even looked for help when they saw their own beasts, and did not seem to be infected by Huang.
Logically speaking, the giant tree cannot move on its own, and the way to capture the beast is nothing more than waiting for it to come up and then catch it. But facing such a strange place, how could there be so many beasts that are so stupid and get caught one after another?
Even if not every beast is as smart as Jieying, it is impossible for them to just watch a giant tree full of corpses of their own kind and then go up to taste the saltiness.
Therefore, this giant tree must have some unknown hunting method that Yu Cang has not noticed. In this case, he naturally would not let Kong and Xu go out to explore on their own.
Kong is better, more steady, but with Xu's temperament, she will probably fall into the trap that the beast will fall into.
The two insects responded quickly, which made Yu Cang feel a little relieved. Then he calmed down and looked at the giant tree again.
As he got closer, he saw the man who had asked for his help.
That was indeed a "human" with a complete rhythmic body. All the rhythms in his body were visible and shone with a dazzling glow. Obviously, he was captured by the giant tree like those beasts, but unlike those beasts, he could speak and make sounds.
But... I can only say one thing.
What was different from other beasts was that countless flames were burning around his body and spreading out, covering a fairly large area!
Although Yu Cang was still quite a distance away from him, a rough estimate showed that the burning flame area probably covered thousands of kilometers. On Blue Star, it was enough to cover an entire continent!
And the area outside this area is still not the end of the flames... At the edge of the flame area, the color of the bright white flames began to gradually darken and turn to black. When it reached the outermost area, the color of the flames was no different from the branches of the giant tree, and it could not be seen without careful observation.
By this calculation, the range of the flames is even farther - and even so, this piece of fire only occupies a very small space above the giant tree, like a small spot.
It seems... that the flame area should have been released by the scholar to prevent the erosion of the giant tree... It can be seen that it is indeed useful, but since the scholar is still trapped in it, the effect must not be that significant.
The flames were burning fiercely, but the branches of the giant tree did not seem to be burned off. Instead, the area of black flames continued to move inward.
“Save me…save me…”
The same rhythmic sound was repeatedly spoken by him and passed into his ears.
The scholar had noticed him. One of his eyes had been closed forever, and the remaining eye was like the scorching sun, still very conspicuous even in the burning flames.
Although the scholar was able to speak, the information he conveyed at this time was like a whisper, and it seemed that communication was impossible.
suddenly.
The voice from the scholar cut off.
Although the distance was still far, Yu Cang could still sense... a hint of astonishment and disappointment flashed in the scholar's single eye.
Then he stopped talking and even closed his only remaining eye.
Yu Cang: ...
Although he didn't say a word, I felt like he was being ridiculed.
Your silence is deafening.
At this moment, he realized something.
"Those coordinates, could they be the ones this scholar sent out for help?"
Yu Cang stroked his chin, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
Perhaps, this scholar sent out more than one coordinate, but one of the coordinates happened to be eaten by the knowledge worm in Zhao Yang's brain, and then fell into Yu Cang's hands.
Then according to this analysis... the condition for teleportation may be a "complete rhythmic body"?
This scholar was trapped in the Starry Sky Vision. After all, this place is special. No matter how powerful he is in the mortal world, if he cannot enter the Starry Sky Vision, he will still not be able to interfere with this place. Only as a fellow scholar, he can rescue him.
As for why he is silent now...I'm afraid he is a little disappointed with his own strength.
Indeed, with his current strength, it is still a bit too unrealistic to want to snatch food from the giant tree, not to mention that he is still in the time and space seal.
However, nothing is absolute.
Yu Cang looked at his entry recorder.
Maybe... there is a chance.
He had stopped at this point.
Although this distance was still quite far from the giant tree, he could already feel the obvious burning heat. If he moved any closer, he might get hurt.
He tried to extract the entries from the black sun.
A seven-day countdown passed in a flash.
Yu Cang: ...
A mythical entry... Damn it.
Since a countdown can be generated, it means that even in the current state, it can still be extracted, but it disappeared immediately afterwards... It must be because the distance is too far.
Now we are in the star realm, one sun away. The distance here seems very close, but in fact, it would take a lifetime to run across it in the outside world.
So... try it out.
After Yu Cang confirmed the safety of Kong and Xu in his heart and asked them to wait for him there, he gently closed his eyes and his consciousness returned to his kingly self.
…
Sitting on the chair, I opened my eyes.
He picked up the blank soul card and the array writing pen from the table, concentrated for a moment, and frowned slightly.
No... Wang Zhi, I can't make soul cards.
Looking at "myself" sleeping soundly on the bed, Wang Zhiwo shook his head.
After being sealed in time and space, his consciousness can flexibly switch between his kingly self and the rhythmic body, but he cannot return to his original body.
Outrageous.
His plan was to use the summoning function when the entry was implanted to try to pull the scholar out directly, but if he couldn't make a soul card, everything would be in vain.
"What should I do..."
Yu Cang thought for a moment and suddenly slapped his forehead.
How could I have forgotten that I have this ability... It should be useful... Let me try it first.
Wang Zhiwo stood up, walked to the bed, looked at the sleeping "self", and activated an ability.
[Personally lead the army]!
This ability allows one to merge with the King's Self! However, after using it, one will fall into a deep sleep. Now, Yu Cang is trying to use this method to allow his consciousness to directly enter his body!
Buzz...
I, the king, turned into a stream of light and fell into Yu Cang's body. The dark room lit up and went out. On the bed, Yu Cang had already opened his eyes.
He stood up, got out of bed, and then fell silent.
“…Why is this so awkward?”
Yu Cang scratched his head.
It's really awkward.
His current state is equivalent to "I control the king who controls me", with two layers of delay in between. It would be strange if it wasn't awkward.
He also felt that this state was not very stable and it was difficult for him to control it. If it lasted for a long time, he might quit on his own.
"We have to hurry."
Yu Cang immediately sat down at a table on the side and glanced around.
Well... Soul cards can be made, and the implantation success rate of some entries in the entry library has slightly increased... Maybe I can really summon that scholar!
Judging from Zhao Yang’s experience, the scholar had been trapped in the giant tree for at least five years, and had not been infected for such a long time. The information he had was very important.
If possible, he really hopes to rescue it!
"Then--" Yu Cang took the blank soul card and the formation writing pen and gently closed his eyes.
…
Before the Giant Tree
Yu Cang regained consciousness. He looked towards the trapped scholar in the distance and said loudly:
"Scholar! I will attempt to summon you, just accept it."
As soon as these words came out, the scholar opened his eyes in the flames. After a moment of silence, a disjointed voice came from afar:
"You...are young...back...adventures...don't have to..."
Facing these words, Yu Cang smiled lightly.
It seems that this scholar is not a bad person... Very good.
Thinking of this, his consciousness immediately returned to Blue Star. He selected a formula with extremely high content and directly chose to implant it!
He incorporated almost all the formulas that could improve the success rate. After simple debugging, the success rate has reached the highest: 3.2%!
Although it is still not high, it is worth a try.
Entry implantation!
There was a flash of light... failure.
“…Tsk.”
All right.
It seems that the scholar opposite does not trust me yet.
If he cooperates, even if the success rate is low, it is not impossible to succeed.
He thought, and his consciousness returned to the giant tree. He raised his head and was about to say something when he saw the scholar's expression suddenly froze. His eyes seemed to be stunned, but also seemed to be thinking again.
Then, before Cang could figure out how to persuade him, he saw the scholar's expression change from one of uncertainty to one of fearlessness in a very short period of time, and then -
boom!
The flames in that entire area suddenly exploded, and surging tongues of flames rose into the sky. Even the black flames around the area were suppressed and retreated rapidly. The area covered by the flames expanded for hundreds of kilometers in the blink of an eye!
Seeing this scene, Yu Cang frowned tightly.
What is he thinking of?
Although it looked like the scholar suppressed the surrounding flames with just one effort, Yu Cang knew that this was just a last gasp. Once this wave was over, the scholar might not even be able to maintain the stalemate!
What is he going to do?
At this time, Yu Cang saw that the scholar who had been speaking incoherently suddenly roared in the blazing flames. In an instant, it was like a thunderclap, and the sound waves turned into a rhythmic torrent that exploded towards the surroundings. Wherever it passed, all the branches of the giant trees rustled, as if they were about to collapse!
"roar!!!!!"
Buzz!
As he roared, a blazing white light that surpassed all other flames lit up above his single eye. Then, the eye seemed to turn into another sun, and gradually left his eye socket in the light!
Yu Cang's face changed slightly. He seemed to have sensed something and quickly opened the entry recorder. He saw that the implantation success rate of all entries had skyrocketed in an instant!
"This is..." Yu Cang cursed inwardly.
No, he wanted you to respond to his call, but you've gone too far!
If you fail to catch this wave, you will most likely disappear!
But now, many of his legendary entries have entered the implantation cooldown, and there is no way to choose the most suitable formula!
“…Never mind.” Yu Cang gritted his teeth.
The scholar obviously misjudged his summoning ability, or he might have suddenly seen hope and could no longer control himself. But no matter what, the scholar was now making a desperate attempt, and his cooperation might be the only chance to rescue him.
So……
Yu Cang didn't care whether it was appropriate or not. He selected a few entries from the recorder, combined them into a formula, and directly chose to implant it!
"roar!!!!"
A shocking roar erupted from the treetops again, and the surrounding flames transformed into a huge ring of blazing flames that spread out like a solar prominence!
Wherever the ring of fire passed, the giant trees were immediately engulfed in flames—of course, these flames were isolated and helpless, and would be extinguished in a moment by the swaying branches.
And at this time——
boom!
The eye that was forced out of the body by the scholar seemed to sense something the moment before Yu Cang chose to implant it. Flames gushed out and it immediately turned into a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it had passed through the world barrier and rushed straight towards Yu Cang!
“—Implant!”
boom!
The flaming meteor passed through Rhythm's body, and Yu Cang felt a terrifying and powerful force erupting in front of him, causing him to retreat continuously. The starry sky kept retreating and retreating in front of his eyes, and even turned into a countercurrent meteor shower!
Then he heard a trembling sound ringing in his ears. When he came to his senses, his consciousness had returned to the king's self in his body.
Teng!
The flames continued to burn on the blank soul card in his hand, and the light gradually faded, revealing a blue soul card.
Connect the Soul Card!
