Chapter 126 Birthplace

"This... is the place where it was said to be born?"

Lin and Abu came to a special place.

On the ground covered with white debris, there were flower-like growths with a diameter of more than ten meters everywhere.

And on each flower-like growth, there is a ghost sword.

To be precise... it is a ghost sword that is taking shape.

The translucent bodies of these ghost swords slowly squeezed out from the center of the "flower" like a ball of mucus, and then slowly rolled from the petals to the ground.

Then the ball of mucus slowly became lighter and floated up from the ground.

The things floating in the air are the ghost swords we saw before.

A large number of flowers here are slowly generating these ghost swords. Each ghost sword will float away shortly after being generated and will not stay for long.

"These things don't seem to have much combat capability." Lin's Veronica and Abu were now a hundred meters away from the group of flower-like growths. This distance seemed to exceed the perception range of the Ghost Sword, and they would not notice it.

"Should we attack them?" Abu said, "They don't seem to be able to defend themselves now."

"Observe first."

Lin and Abu observed this position for a while and found that these flowers stopped producing ghost swords after a while.

Lin thought that they might have run out of energy or something, so Lin and Abu slowly approached them.

Then, Lin began to test these flower-like growths...Lin found that these flowers...had many special features.

Lin who was holding up Abu's body before had also been tested. That one was the same as an ordinary augmented creature, while these ones seemed to be... carnivorous.

If ordinary growths grow like ordinary plants, then these flower-like growths are like carnivorous plants.

Lin discovered that dream energy... including Veronica's hair, would be slowly absorbed by it if placed on the surface of its 'petals'.

The surface of its petals has many tiny sharp structures that are used to decompose and devour targets.

Then the dream energy swallowed into its body will be quickly decomposed and reorganized within a period of time, and finally turned into a ghost sword.

The reason they stop producing is that the nutrients in them have been used up.

This is quite interesting, because the growth organisms that Lin had encountered before were all of the type that grew randomly. Although they looked very much like plants, they were actually not as "smart" as plants.

Because they do not have any 'life instinct' mechanism, they can only absorb nutrients, grow, and then wait for the nutrients to be absorbed... and then die. They will not constantly compete for nutrients like real plants, nor will they produce toxins to prevent being eaten.

This one has the additional function of creating ghost swords.

However, they are still considered augmented creatures because they do not have a thinking core...Lin thinks that this function may have been added by the Ghost Sword or some other creature through modification.

If this transformation method is learned, perhaps all augmented organisms can be turned into production factories.

But Lin also felt that there should be some limitations. After all, there are still many ordinary enhanced creatures here that have not changed.

At present, I can't see any connection between this and the 'Abyss of Abandonment'.

"Should we destroy these and see?"

Lin noticed that while Abu was talking, he was pulling a "petal" and trying to get it off.

Lin did not stop it, but said to it: "Then give it a try and see."

It doesn't really matter if it's destroyed or not... but maybe something special will happen if you do this.

So Abu started pulling hard.

The entire petal was instantly pulled apart by Abu's strength and fell to the ground.

The flowers didn't react to this, and of course they wouldn't react.

"Why can these things kill that..." Abu was wondering when it suddenly jumped up.

A sharp spike covered with barbs suddenly protruded from the ground where Abu was originally.

"You actually want to sneak attack me?" Abu turned in the air and landed on the ground. Then he stepped forward and kicked the sharp spike in half.

Lin found that it reacted very quickly, which was completely different from before.

'boom!'

At this moment, the debris on the ground suddenly exploded, and a huge...'ghost' crawled out from the explosion.

It was translucent like those ghost swords, but larger. It looked like a ball of transparent mud more than ten meters in size.

There were also a lot of things inside its body, and Lin discovered that they were all weapons.

Including the sword used by Jianyun, the spikes on the caterpillar, and some hammer-shaped stones, sickles, circular saws and other things.

It has so many weapons. Could it be that this is the one that seriously injured Jianyun just now?

But Lin felt that this creature should not cause such a terrifying effect to Jianyun.

Jian Yun said before that he died of injuries, but it would be better to say that he was... scared to death.

The creatures here are mainly capable of thinking... Jian Yun collapsed and dispersed because he saw such great terror and thought it was impossible for them to survive and defeat the opponent.

Lin thought that it might have touched the black sphere that Lin touched.

Anyway, let’s just…solve this first.

The moment this huge translucent creature came out, it attacked Abu frantically.

It was like a master who was proficient in all kinds of weapons. Various weapons kept extending from its body to attack Abu.

Stabbing, chopping, slashing, and smashing, different weapons kept passing by Abu's side, because it...never hit him once.

Lin found that Abu dodged all attacks very flexibly. Although the transparent creature kept chasing and hacking at it, it could not touch it at all.

"Bang!" Suddenly, Abu kicked the transparent creature hard. Although it looked small, the force made the creature retreat several meters.

The creature seemed enraged, and it extended a circular saw from its body and rammed towards Abu.

This circular saw is the largest weapon in its body, with a diameter of more than three meters, and it can rotate at high speed like a real circular saw.

Just as the circular saw was about to hit Abu, the high-speed rotating circular saw stopped.

Lin found that Abu caught the circular saw with both hands.

Lin wondered how Abu was divided into so many pieces by Jianyun.

However, it can be confirmed that this kind of creature with full body consciousness is much stronger than ordinary dream creatures.

"Click--" Abu twisted the circular saw with his hand, and a large piece was twisted off.

Then it took the broken pieces of circular saw and began to chop the transparent creature frantically. This attack was very effective and it could chop off a piece of transparent 'meat' every time.

The creature was forced back continuously by Abu. When Abu had chopped off almost half of its body, Lin felt... a violent vibration.

The creature exploded.
