Chapter 154 The Big Bad Wolf Backing the Pine Tree (Please Vote for Me)
Regarding Lin An's so-called 'spiritual balancing hand', Chen Xinmi had too many things to ask, but the battle not far away became increasingly fierce, causing both of them to stop talking about this aspect. .
"Lich!"
There was some sadness in Chen Xin's eyes, as if something hurts its own kind, she looked at the huge pine tree in silence.
The attacks of the Antler Witch Hunting Knights were extremely effective. Targeting this rare plant-type lich, they attacked the roots of the trees in unison.
With every attack, a strange face transformed into a tree trunk wails with a shrill wail.
But it seems to be being watered by a large amount of spiritual energy. Every time a part is cut off, more branches and trunks grow.
"It's mutating."
Chen Xin squinted her eyes and observed carefully, "Did you see any aerial roots growing on its branches? Those are aerial roots that only banyan trees can grow. Pine trees don't have this kind of situation."
"It shows that this wizard's spiritual power is not pure. The more complex the mind, the more abnormal appearances it will reveal under the influence of spiritual energy."
After a while, the black cat appeared again.
It seemed to have adjusted its mentality, squatting next to Lin An, flicking its tail, and turned to look at Chen Xinmi with a half-smile.
"Meow~"
——She felt that she was embarrassed when she fainted just now. She realized that this time was not your problem, but her own broken soul, so she wanted to teach you something to repay you for saving her life just now.
——But she is very proud and doesn’t want you to think that she is teaching you.
Lin An smiled and said nothing.
Chen Xin's words couldn't help but remind him of the spiritual hallucinations he had seen in daily life. Although some people's spiritual beings looked weird, they seemed to have the same image. Some people's spiritual beings were really pieced together in bits and pieces. a feeling of.
"It should have a complicated mind and want too many things." Chen Xin held a slender cigarette in her mouth and looked back at Lin An, her eyes full of meaning.
The contempt in his eyes seemed to say - yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Lin An shrugged.
Chen Xinmi sneered, "The path of spiritual practice of a wizard has always been accompanied by sorting out emotions. Some people restrain their desires, some find ways to change their thoughts to resolve their obsessions, and some crudely choose some means of forgetting. Strip away the memories that create desires and cravings.”
"There are so many ways."
"At the stage of reaching the lich, the only thing that can maintain his spirituality is a pure pine tree. This shows that this wizard did not have many desires in his heart in his previous life. He is a person who lives in isolation and practices alone. No wonder he has not heard of it before. There is such a person in Shenhou City.”
"These Witch Hunting Knights are simply committing evil. This large-scale hunting obviously affected this wizard and made him move from an ordinary life to a lich."
Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Lin An's expression gradually became weird.
No, you are wrong.
Lao Liu is not the kind of person who enjoys living in poverty. The reason why he looks as pure as a pine tree is because I devoured his spirituality.
Of course this couldn't be more pure.
Moreover, this pine tree is not Lao Liu’s original tree, it was stuffed with the spiritual part of the ‘original Lao Liu’ kapok.
Although the Lao Liu I came into contact with is from the same origin as the original Kapok Lao Liu, due to differences in memories, experiences, emotions, etc., pine tree spirituality cannot represent the entirety of a person like Lao Liu.
"Because of the influence of the pine tree, the aura of the spiritual world is pouring into the wizard's body? And these auras are tapping into the spiritual power deep in the wizard's heart?" Lin An looked at Chen Xinmi and got a positive answer.
So his eyes lit up, filled with too many conjectures, "Then I'm afraid these aerial roots on the pine tree are not all of this wizard. This wizard's spiritual power should not be represented by this pine tree, it should be an animal. "
Chen Xinmi glanced at Lin An with a sneer, "How dare you, a newly minted wizard, dare to talk nonsense on such a top-notch topic?"
From having just completed the "emotional throbbing period" of the apprenticeship to becoming a formal wizard, to the current state of transitioning from a wizard to a lich, there is a long and far road in between.
Some wizards can't even walk the entire way.
Lin An smiled and said nothing.
But soon, the scene before him confirmed his suspicion.
The aerial roots hanging from the branches and intended to penetrate into the ground were chopped off and harvested by the witch-hunting knights, and countless gray-blue hairs grew out of the trunks and branches.
A witch-hunting knight cut off a branch of a pine tree and saw blood vessels in the cross-section, with countless blood splattering out.
Such damage made the face on the pine tree trunk wail, and the whole tree began to shake crazily. The wooden trunk was as soft as an animal's limbs, as if it were a tree-shaped animal.
Chen Xin took a deep breath, choked by the smoke from the cigarette, and couldn't help coughing twice, then looked at Lin An in disbelief, "How could you tell?"
Lin An blinked and exclaimed secretly.
Oh my god, I guessed it right!
His face was calm, smiling as he faced Chen Xin's stunned look. He just said lightly, "I am a painter, and I am best at observing the essence of things."
Pack!
Just pretend!
Chen Xinmi rolled her eyes and sneered, "Tell me, what else did you observe?"
Unexpectedly, Lin An really started thinking seriously.
He looked deeply at the big pine tree in the world of purgatory, his eyes blurred, "Sometimes we don't live like ourselves. Our thoughts and behaviors are affected by too many influences. We are always We’re doing things we don’t want to do.”
“We long to be who we truly are, but there’s nothing we can do about it…”
"But the aura of the spiritual world gives us the power of the soul, allowing us to break through the shackles and realize our true self."
"It's just that this spiritual energy has given us too much, turning our desires into twisted obsessions."
Lin An looked back at Chen Xinmi, "I guess that although the lich image of the pine tree attracted the aura from the spiritual world to water the wizard, the pine tree is not the truest symbol of his soul's desire."
"In other words, this wizard's mind will be watered by spiritual energy, and he will soon replace this pine tree and devour this pine tree."
"The Antler Witch Hunting Knights thought he was a pine tree, so they attacked the roots of his trunk. This approach may be correct for targeting the pine tree lich, but it is obviously a mistake to target this wizard."
"The witch-hunting knights are helping this wizard complete his true spiritual awakening."
"Let the wizard be who he really is, a beast, not a calm, elegant pine tree."
Ha~
Chen Xinmi sneered, she even started to tremble after guessing correctly once, and she kept saying one thing after another.
She just took a look to see what kind of changes there would be.
look……
She stared blankly at the scene in front of her, her mouth slightly open.
Hold the grass!
An elegant lady shouldn't utter such exclamations, Chen Xinmi couldn't help it.
With a terrifying flash of sword light, the pine tree was broken by its roots and collapsed toward the ground. According to her past knowledge, the lich that the wizard had turned into had already entered death.
But the fallen pine tree seemed to be alive. Branches were being pulled out wildly from the trunk. The leaves on the branches were thin and long, and they were densely packed like gray-blue hairs.
then.
Bang!
It landed on all fours and made a loud vibration.
A long and thin strip of paper was cut off by a witch hunter knight, and a wolf-like head grew out of the cut.
"Ho~~~"
This huge gray wolf raised its head and roared, the pine trees on its back swaying, and countless frosts began to spread towards the surrounding areas.
Chen Xin turned to look at Lin An blankly.
Lin An and Maomao turned to look towards Yunlu Mountain in the distance.
They are all good at spying on spirituality, and they can feel that the spirituality of a being over there (the original version of Old Liu Kapok) is flowing towards this 'Pine Gray Wolf Lich'.
And the aura of the spiritual world pours towards that life through this 'Pine Gray Wolf Lich'.
A magical passage formed between them.
"Heart to Heart Chuan Chuan Chuan Incense Witchcraft!" Lin An and Black Cat both exclaimed.
"What?" Chen Xin looked at Lin An in confusion.
The black cat glanced at Chen Xinmi, then turned to look at Lin An, meowing anxiously.
"Meow!~"
——You must find a way to let her know this information. I feel that the spirit of the life form hidden in Yunlu Mountain seems to have great malice towards me.
——I have no way to tell Chen Xinmi directly, I can only tell her subconsciously. Then she will react slowly after the incident, and by then it is already too late! Sometimes she would even throw away the information I passed on because of her own judgment.
——The communication between spirituality and body consciousness is separated by an invisible barrier.
Lin An frowned and hesitated.
The black cat came over, pitifully bent down and put his head in front of Lin An, kissed him gently on the cheek, and meowed.
——Please, I can't let this wizard grow up. Her body and soul are already broken. She looks strong, but in fact she has always been strong on the outside and weak on the inside. She can't resist such a powerful enemy.
Lin An pursed his lips and nodded slightly.
He turned to look at Chen Xinmi and thought for a moment, "I have to tell you some information about the news I found in the 'Crazy Wizard's Tree Hole' organization."
Chen Xin's fascinated Danfeng eyes couldn't help but squint, and she stared at Lin An coldly, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"It's not necessary." Lin An was very indifferent, "The matter I discovered has little to do with the two tasks you requested. In a place where so many madmen are entrenched, any piece of information sounds explosive. We don’t know each other well, so there’s no need to treat you like a best friend who tells all your little secrets.”
Although Chen Xinmi was unhappy, she didn't force it.
He just nodded and said, "Yes, we are all wizards, emotional monsters. As the president of the Wizards Association, I will not be too harsh on my investigators."
It's not a good thing to get the investigators too nervous.
