I'm a villain, not a devil

Small rust bugs crawl under the ground, with two pairs of eyes observing everything around them.

Even Luo Xi, who was living in the Rainbow Nest, looked shocked. Without him, everything underground would be too amazing.

The weird big tree in the middle is already huge enough, but it is still just a small area in the underground cavity, like a weak bamboo pole supporting a huge boulder with no visible edges.

It is unimaginable that the lower part of the imperial capital is completely hollowed out.

Zhu Zhu couldn't help but said: "The imperial capital has been established for so long... If there is a hole underneath, how can it hold up?"

Judging from the geological structure, this is indeed the case. The rock formations on the ground of the Imperial Capital cannot support this huge city, and there are no supporting structures around except the tree. This place should have collapsed long ago and eventually became Just a deep pit.

Luo Xi looked serious: "That means there is something invisible to the naked eye supporting it."

"This tree? But in comparison, this tree is too small."

"That's not necessarily the case..." Luo Xi pursed her lips upwards, gesturing to Zhu Zhu to look over.

Zhu Zhu looked up, and then her eyes widened.

The top of the head, which was pitch black just now, turned into dense energy lines at some point. Those lines were entangled in the top layer of rock and soil, and finally converged on the tree trunks.

"What's your ability?" Zhu Zhu looked over subconsciously. After seeing Luo Xi nodding, she looked back, and then she crossed her arms and shivered. "Although it is in the form of energy, it looks like So disgusting..."

Zhu Zhu is right. After those invisible things are displayed in the form of energy lines, they are like countless tapeworms buried in a piece of meat. It makes people's scalp numb just looking at it.

Luo Xi's frown became tighter, and she whispered: "Do you think this thing is very similar to the black nematode that Sean said, but now you can only see it with my superpower?" arrive."

Zhu Zhu was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately: "Yes! It's very similar!"

Luo Xi's expression became more solemn. Not only Zhu Zhu, she also felt a nauseating feeling - you know, she is now in the middle level of crimson and has seen a lot of various things, but that nauseating feeling But he couldn't suppress it no matter what.

Holding back her nausea and continuing to observe, she discovered something else.

"Looking at the overall veins, it looks like... tree roots?"

"It seems..." Zhu Zhu also discovered this.

The tapeworms that spread from the top of the tree to the top rock and soil combined with the surrounding landforms are like tree roots rooted in the soil. However, the roots spread from the top of the trunk, which makes it appear more or less Somewhat weird.

Zhu Zhu hesitated and said: "If it is a tree root...how does it look like the World Tree that Sean said?"

"The Tree of the World..."

It seems that only the legendary World Tree can occupy such a huge underground space and support the huge city above.

The World Tree has been cut down a long time ago. What they see now, could it be that the World Tree has begun to absorb its own remains and grow again?

However, in various materials, the World Tree is called mother, and this evil look in front of her always gives people a bad feeling.

In addition, this has something to do with the emperor's plan...

Luo Xi calmed down and whispered: "Let's go, let's go find Lan Ke'er first."

"Um!"

The underground world is so huge that the tiny rust bugs really can't move too fast, and the surroundings are full of small living creatures that only appear underground.

Contrary to expectations, there are no large numbers of guards here, nor are there high-tech defensive measures. It seems that everything only stays on the outermost level.

After carefully sensing and confirming that there was no problem, Luo Xi left the mirror space alone and came to the underground.

Being there is a different feeling.

She had always been curious before. Occasionally she could see some things being blown around here, but where did the wind come from underground?

Now she understood that the energy in the ground was so rich that it condensed into wind. Because the concentration was so high, she didn't notice it at first - there was energy everywhere, just like stones that would not attract people. Notice.

The hair fluttered slightly, and Luo Xi stretched out his hand to crush it.

Fine sand appeared out of thin air on her fingertips and leaked out from between her fingers. She just extracted a little bit and it had such an effect...

If so much energy is attributed to one whole, maybe the legendary Deep Blue is nothing more than that, right?

"There should be a source of wind, maybe an energy node..." Luo Xi, who keenly captured this point, immediately rushed towards the direction of the wind.

'Not only the entire Imperial Capital, but the area of ​​this place may be a whole circle larger than the Imperial Capital...' As he hurried on, Luo Xi felt more and more shocked.

Not long after, Luo Xi saw a trace of running through the ground. It seemed that a large number of people passed through this place and walked away not long ago.

Looking at the path of the trace, she recalled in her mind the map Sean had drawn for herself.

"If my sense of direction after coming down was not affected by unknown factors, this trace should lead to the royal cemetery that Sean told me about..." She whispered to herself.

So that's it... Luo Xi finally understood how the more than 10,000 wounded soldiers escaped the eyes of the imperial army and reached the cemetery.

Moreover, looking at it this way, the space underground is even larger than previously imagined.

But the source of the wind is not from the direction of the cemetery. On the contrary, the wind direction obviously comes from the inside.

And that's exactly where the tree is.

As he got closer, the clear appearance of the entire tree was revealed in front of Luo Xi.

The leaves are all veined with blood red and dark green, the scars on the trunk are like huge pustules, and something disgusting seems to be crawling under the bark.

"The World Tree shouldn't look like this..." Zhu Zhu muttered in Luo Xi's button.

Luo Xi nodded: "It seems that it is not the World Tree that is resurrecting, but someone is using this to cultivate another weird World Tree..."

And that person obviously had only one choice left: the Emperor of the Empire.

"What does the emperor want to do with this?"

"Who knows..."

Luo Xi lowered his head and looked at the buttons. Zhu Zhu's parents were still in a coma, and there was no accurate explanation from that time when he was convicted and imprisoned.

I only heard from Sean that some things that should not belong to the earl were found in the secret room of Zhu Zhu's house, but he just didn't know what the deep connection between those things and the emperor was.

The ground was getting closer to the big tree in the center. Luo Xi recalled the map again and estimated the distance he had traveled.

Looking up, Luo Xi narrowed his eyes: "The palace should be up here."

The imperial palace was built on the only mountain in the imperial capital. Now it seems that it is still unclear whether that mountain is a real mountain.

However, it is possible that the place where Lan Ke'er's body is hidden has not been seen yet. To be precise, nothing other than this tree has been seen.

Until he reached the foot of the giant tree, Luo Xi carefully circled around and still found nothing.

Lan Ke'er wasn't transported here?

Looking at the empty ground next to the tree roots, Luo Xi frowned.

Is it possible that there is some way to get inside this tree?

While she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt a slight warmth in her arms.

He took out a slate, which was the contact information Sean gave him.

After chanting in a low voice, he put the slate close to his forehead, and sure enough, Sean's voice rang out.

However, what was different from the past was that there was an indescribable sense of vicissitudes and fatigue in Sean's voice, and the content of his words shocked Luo Xi.

"Don't worry about anything, get out of there!"

Get out of here?

What did Sean discover?

This place...is a trap?

Luo Xi didn't hesitate at all. Lan Ke'er and she were not close friends, so she naturally had no intention of taking her back. Since Sean said so...

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly, the big tree in front of him seemed to come alive.

Its branches swayed gently with a rhythmic frequency, and the leaves composed of blood and dark green fell off one after another.

The sounds of cheering, chopping, collapsing, crying, crazy sounds... Countless sounds suddenly filled Luo Xi's mind, and her mental defenses tended to loosen in an instant.

The metal ball that could turn into her energy blade trembled, and Luo Xi suddenly woke up from the state of mental loss.

etc……

She looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

After a brief period of confusion, she unexpectedly came to a strange place!

The grotesque space seemed to be soaked in countless oil paints, and she stepped on the void but still felt like the real thing.

The inside of that tree?

wrong……

Luo Xi found that the button holding Zhu Zhu was missing.

To be precise, the buttons are still there, but Zhu Zhu is missing.

Did he trigger some kind of trap and be transported to a certain place?

What's more, can this trap ignore the impact of space-based abilities?

Roxy looked around warily, trying to puppeteer the energy around the structure.

However, what she didn't expect was that the puppet show failed to start, and no energy lines appeared...

Wait, it didn’t mean that the activation failed...

Luo Xi's pupils suddenly shook.

There is no need to activate... Everything around here is all energy.

Pure energy, she is in a space of pure energy.

"How is it possible? There is no space in this world that is all energy...wait..."

She looked down at her body.

The puppet show was launched successfully, and her body had turned into colors representing the flow of energy.

"I am also an energy body now..."

A sudden realization dawned on her.

It was not that she herself was teleported in, but that her energy body appeared in another space.

"Am I being deconstructed in an instant? But my consciousness can still be retained, and my autonomy is still in my hands..."

Luo Xi, who couldn't figure out what was going on around him, moved to the side, and a large ripple appeared in the strange space like oil paint that spread towards the surroundings.

Not long after, suddenly there were a lot of reverse ripples coming from everywhere.

"It's not a rebound that hit the border..."

Luo Xi's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he quickly dodged a violent attack from a tentacle!

She looked up and saw a strange creature she had never seen before rushing toward her.

The monster seemed to be a combination of many crazy beasts and mutants. Tentacles, claws, sharp teeth, fangs, many monster characteristics were combined on its body. Dozens of heads of various colors had saliva dripping from the corners of their mouths, looking at Luo Xi. He looked at him eagerly, as if he had been hungry for a long time.

And just as Luo Xi dodged the attack of the tentacle, she suddenly felt an indescribable sharp pain in her mind!

"Ugh!"

She groaned and quickly retreated.

The dozens of heads of the strange monster made a cheerful and crazy inhuman roar, opened their mouths and chewed something in the void.

As they moved, Luo Xi's expression became more and more painful. She felt that her head seemed to appear in the mouth of the monster out of thin air and was being brutally devoured!

The tentacles and claws attacked again, and Luo Xi was unable to move for a while because of the huge mental shock!

She stood stiffly in place like a puppet!

...

Looking at all this in front of him, Sean stood stiffly in place like a puppet.

The shelter stood tall, and a group of young people in simple clothes were working hard.

And next to the group of people, several people wearing outside clothes looked strange.

"Brother Dao, why do these people... call you the village chief?" The corner of the skinny monkey's eye twitched.

Brother Dao also shook his head in confusion.

Something happened in the shelter that day, and they were alert for a long time. Unexpectedly, more than a dozen living people came out of the dormant room that they thought was completely abandoned!

The group of people were so excited that some people came up and made a move on them, some called them the village chief, some mentors, and some asked them if they had any mission?

Mission?

Brother Dao and his group were all dumbfounded. If these people were not just ordinary people who were not threatening at all, they would have taken action to completely control them.

But after asking them who they were, these people suddenly realized and said that they were resurrectors and they could find them to solve any problems.

Skinny Monkey casually said that their current problem was to develop the surrounding area, but these people took it seriously!

What's more terrifying is that they are all ordinary people, but this group of people don't seem to get tired at all. They enjoy doing even the most boring and rough work. They don't even take a break!

It's been two days, and all the work around has been taken over by this group of people, and they are all very happy.

"Then let them do it like this?" Skinny Monkey hesitated.

Brother Dao scratched his head: "For the time being, they don't have any bad intentions. It's possible that they came out of the hibernation capsule that we didn't notice... Maybe their heads were frozen... Forget it, let them do it. At worst, we can find a way out for them later."

In the shadows, Sean was watching this scene with cold hands.

Player?

Heh...

A young man was carrying wood and walking back with a huff. When he passed by another person, he said loudly: "Brother, it's really exciting."

"That's right, Qingming."

The person who answered had the same face as Sean.
