Chapter 284 Alchemy of Life, Vegetable-Growing Skeletons

"I'm sorry, Lord Pope, I failed in this operation."

Jordan City, among the brilliant domed temples.

Even wearing a pure white loose nun's uniform, Brunhil couldn't completely cover her body curves, half-kneeling in front of Mephides, her head lowered, her delicate three-dimensional face slightly pale.

That war is over.

It has been more than ten days.

But it seemed that Brunhil still felt a little sick.

As a serious fourth life level, template creature, the attacks caused by willow trees are not so easy to heal.

What's even worse is.

The wound is still in the brain.

Even for a powerful evolver like Brunhil, the brain is the key point.

However, although Brunhil still seems to have not returned to his peak condition, his injuries have basically healed and his breath is stable, which shows that his vitality is also incredibly strong.

"It doesn't matter." Mephides said with a smile, his blue eyes like a calm sea.

This pope is the supreme leader of the city of Jordan.

He looks like an ordinary old man, with a stooped figure, sagging skin, and dark brown age spots on his face. He gives people a feeling of weakness when talking.

But only those eyes... seemed to contain the entire sea, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

Even Brunhil.

Whenever you face the Pope alone, you will feel bursts of pressure.

"The enemy is a life form at the restricted area level. That is an enemy that even the angels in the upper world must treat with caution..."

Mephides said gently, "Actually, before she evolved to the fourth life level, the fourth angel was defeated at the hands of that willow tree."

"She is undoubtedly stronger now than before. Even you can't always win."

"No!"

Brunhil shook his head and said persistently, "I am the Valkyrie of Jordan City. It is my duty to protect this city and the people living here."

"And now, I'm not doing my job to eliminate the threat."

Brunhil put his palms on his chest and said solemnly: "I personally beg for your punishment."

"God loves the world, and the purpose of punishment is to make people realize their mistakes. And you have already realized it."

Mephides said slowly, "If you really feel guilty about this matter, then practice more seriously. I hope you can enter the fourth life level as soon as possible."

"I see."

Brunhil responded softly, but still stayed where he was and did not leave.

A look of struggle appeared on her face.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Pope Mephides asked.

The voice became a little cold for no reason.

"I want to ask about the Holy Spirit's plan..." Brunhil raised his head, finally making up his mind, with light shining in his beautiful gray-blue eyes.

Holy Spirit Plan.

That is to call the angels to come.

However, angels come to the world of perception, but they need to pay a price.

As for the price to pay...Brynhild didn't go through many things, but he wasn't stupid either. Naturally, we know that if an existence of that kind wants to cross the border, it will have to pay a huge price.

"My child, all gains must be paid for." Medfeldes did not answer directly, but looked at the sky where the sunset was shining in the distance.

"But, we don't need to..." Brunhil defended.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Mephides.

Boom!

The gold-wrapped cane fell on the smooth floor, and the lingering sound echoed in the hall.

Mephides' old face revealed majesty.

"Are you questioning God's will? Or do you think you can protect this city on your own?

Those Holy Spirits who descend to the human world also have to pay a huge price. They are angels of God, and their glory flows in the wings of His door, and they should not be questioned by people. "

"I'm tired, let's go down..." Medephedes waved his hand and sighed.

"yes!"

Brunhil stood up, bowed, and left from the hall.

In the valley shrouded in death.

Su Heng opened the panel, and the characteristics of the fifth template appeared in front of him.

What made him somewhat unexpected was that since the fourth template Adam was unlocked, the subsequent templates unlocked became more and more weird.

The fourth template is mechanical ascension.

The fifth template simply gave itself a skeletal white wolf. Is this preparing to launch a natural disaster of the undead?

He stretched out his paw and scratched his chin.

He felt the sharp bone spurs beating in the gap between the mandibles.

Compared with normal creatures, the most obvious experience of becoming an undead is that all aspects of perception have been extremely degraded.

The colorful world disappeared from Su Heng's eyes, leaving only pure monotonous gray and white.

His sense of smell and hearing were relatively intact. Su Heng could hear the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, and the air was filled with a faint smell of corpses. The sense of touch is the most restricted. It feels like my body is wrapped in a thick white cloth, and the feedback to the outside world is very unclear.

but…

Su Heng's perception system.

It is based on the template plus the auxiliary corrections brought by the system.

Therefore, after a period of adaptation, the changes in perception brought about by becoming an undead did not have too much impact.

Another thing that is different from other templates.

That is, just after unlocking the fifth template, it is already in the second life level.

Moreover, the value of vitality is at the upper-middle level among all the templates. It is higher than the willow tree but inferior to Jamia and the monitor lizard. However, the size of the fifth template is far not as large as the other templates. Even compared with ordinary extraordinary life forms in the world of perception, it is much inferior.

"Maybe it's because the vitality of undead creatures is not reflected in their size..." Su Heng guessed.

The fifth template is in a quiet valley.

Surrounded by undulating mountains, there is a white palace-like building on the west mountain peak, which can't be seen clearly under the clouds.

In front of Su Heng, there was a calm pool of water.

Weeds grew on the surrounding land, and the sharp and unusual ends of the grass gave off a metallic luster in the moonlight.

These plants have obviously mutated more than once, and are as powerful as a certain series of traps. Ordinary creatures will lose their lives if they enter them without paying attention.

"and…"

Su Heng raised his head and looked towards the sky.

Although the gray night sky is covered with fog, you can still see the bright full moon. The moon is silvery white and emits a bright light.

Now.

Su Heng already understood.

The formation of the red moon in the perceptual world is actually a natural phenomenon caused by the penetration of subspace into the world bubble.

This also applies to the formation of restricted areas.

However, subspace is the home of demons and evil gods.

Therefore, those beings can cause damage to the perceived world through the restricted area and the red moon. In most cases, people regard the red moon as an ominous symbol.

But the moon seen at this time is not like this.

Although in the world of perception, the red moon does not always exist every night.

But even so, there is an essential difference between the moon in the perceived world and the moon in the real world.

The former always emits obvious radiation, and its silvery white color indicates that the concentration of radiation is relatively low, while the appearance of a red moon means that the concentration of radiation has increased to a dangerous range.

In the real world, the moon is just the moon.

It does not emit light on its own and can only reflect the sun's rays. Otherwise, it does no harm to humans.

Although the fifth template's perception ability is not particularly strong, as a template creature, the difference is compared to other templates. Coupled with the increase brought by the system, Su Heng can intuitively feel the difference between the two.

"That is to say...the fifth template is in the physical universe."

Su Heng used his wolf claws to claw at the soft soil under his feet.

Because it is close to the lakeside, the land here is still full of vitality, and the water and grass are abundant. The soil itself is a nutritious black color.

If you ignore the smell of corpses in the air and the strange and dangerous environment around you, this place is quite rare.

When Willow obtained the talent of Trinity.

Su Heng once led the phantom dragon into the real world for a long time.

till the end.

When I was about to give up, I found a floating island above the sea of ​​clouds, which would attract attacks from swarms of insects and demons from time to time.

Three hundred years after the end of the Golden Age, to this day.

The once prosperous world of Terraria no longer has many places suitable for human survival.

Click!

Just when Su Heng was deep in thought.

Slight footsteps came from behind the skeleton white wolf.

The breath was weak and the sound was very slight. Su Heng did not feel threatened.

Turn around lazily.

Only then did he realize that at some point in the grass behind him, a figure carrying a hoe and a straw hat appeared.

"What is this, peasant?"

Su Heng was subconsciously stunned by the appearance of this familiar outfit in a strange painting style.

And the other side.

It seemed that he was also surprised that at some point, another strange-looking person of the same kind appeared here.

Two white bones, big eyes staring at small eyes.

It wasn't until a crow with messy feathers flew overhead and dropped a piece of bird excrement that the skeleton with the straw hat reacted.

He is about 1.7 meters tall and has fine bones.

The dark eyes were burning with blue soul flames.

The flame danced like a candle, seeming to express a confused emotion.

It reached out and rubbed its head, took off the hat on its head, took out a dark fruit and placed it in front of Su Heng.

"You mean..."

The evolution level of Straw Hat Skull is not high.

Unable to express his thoughts as accurately as the Skeleton White Wolf, Su Heng could only feel a vague thought.

Good thing.

He has extensive experience in looking after templates.

Su Heng could roughly guess the general meaning.

"You want to farm here, and if there is a harvest, you can share it with me, but as a condition I cannot destroy your crops, and I will provide you with protection when necessary?"

Su Heng translated what the skeleton wanted to express in common language.

The Straw Hat Skull nodded quickly.

"Okay, go ahead." Su Heng sighed and waved his hand.

The little skeleton suddenly showed a happy look on his face, carrying his hoe and running towards the fertile land.

"this thing…"

Watch the little skeleton leave.

Su Hengcai lowered his head and picked up the black fruit in front of him.

Because at the end of the Golden Age, humanity was forced into desperation and released nuclear weapons on a large scale, causing serious damage to Terraria's natural environment.

Coupled with the large influx of alien aliens and subspace creatures.

Those guys are much more serious than those biological invasions. They can be called plague stars. Their arrival will also have a catastrophic impact on the environment of Terraria.

To this day.

Much of Terraria is in ruins.

As for the remaining ecological species, they have already been distorted by radiation into indistinguishable shapes.

With the little knowledge Su Heng had, he naturally couldn't tell what the vegetable-growing skeleton had given him.

But that doesn't matter.

Anyway, as an undead, he doesn't need to worry about a bad stomach.

He controlled the white wolf to open its mouth and stuffed the black fruit the size of a child's palm into his mouth. The white wolf was five meters long and was not particularly big compared to other extraordinary beasts, but it was definitely considered a large beast. .

The palm-sized fruit is so hard that it is not big enough to fit between the teeth.

"Well…"

Su Heng frowned. He could feel his teeth crushing the fruit. Granular seeds burst out from the shell, but the fifth template, which was covered in white bones, naturally couldn't taste anything.

The next moment, Life Drain activates!

The nutrients in the fruit were directly absorbed into the body by Su Heng using the alchemy of life.

"Hey, it tastes like mint!" The soul fire in Su Heng's pupils suddenly lit up, and he felt as if a clear spring was seeping into his body, and the world around him seemed a little clearer.

he knows.

This is a change caused by the absorption of nutrients and the enhancement of life energy.
