Elves: Dark Age

Zheng Jiaquan was the existence he met half a year after the apocalypse.

At that time, he was at his wit's end and was about to starve to death.

In that hazy moment, he saw a tree.

An ancient tree with a withered trunk but an extremely lush top!

He didn't know what it was, he just knew that the leaves were edible.

He ran over and banged against the tree with great effort, hoping to shake down some leaves to fill his stomach.

But after a few collisions, the leaves did not fall off, and a "fruit" with a shell like a dragon fruit suddenly fell down!

His eyes lit up instantly, and he didn't care whether it was poisonous or not, he reached out and wanted to pick it up and chew it!

However, before he could take a bite, the dark red 'fruit' made a crackling sound, and then the shell peeled off, revealing a dozen seeds in his hand.

What was extremely strange was that the moment these seeds touched his palms, they began to grow roots and took root directly in his flesh and blood!

The boy was terrified.

In horror, he pulled out these strange seeds by the roots, taking away large pieces of flesh and blood!

But it was still too late.

A seed has been completely integrated into his flesh and blood, like a maggot attached to the bone, and cannot be dug out at all!

Just as he was hesitating whether to be ruthless and cut off his arm, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Human, do you want to live?"

"Who? Who's talking?!"

Zheng Jiaquan was terrified.

"I am the embodiment of nature. You can call me Shemi."

The voice sounded a little childish, and if you ignored the slightly strange tone in it, it was completely the voice of a child.

"Shammy?"

Zheng Jiaquan had never heard of this name.

"That's right, human. My name is Shemi." The voice of the Paradox Species Shemi echoed in the boy's mind: "So... do you want to live?"

"Yes! Of course I do!"

The boy answered without even thinking.

"Then make a contract with me and become one with me."

The voice of "Shaymi" seemed to carry an irresistible magic that blurred the boy's reason.

However, the boy still retained a trace of clarity and asked, "When that time comes...will I still be myself?"

"That's natural," Shemy replied, "I just need your body to help me grow. It won't affect your consciousness."

From now on, what Xie Mi said was indeed correct, and Zheng Jiaquan's consciousness is still intact.

There was no intention of being swallowed.

But how could he know this at that time? So he was naturally very uneasy.

"Grow up? What does that mean?"

Judging from the scene where these seeds took root in his flesh and blood just now, this so-called development of "Shaimi" could be that it is treating him as nutrients and directly absorbing him, right?

The boy was shaking with fear.

"It's very simple. You eat, and I absorb the nutrients you get, and grow into a complete form." Xiemi explained in a concise and easy-to-understand manner.

"..."

The boy naturally didn't dare to believe it completely, but he had no other choice now, so after a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, okay..."

"Don't worry, we have no ill will towards humans. It just became like this due to some reasons." Seeing that the young man was uneasy, Xiemi couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

"Is that so?" The young man laughed dryly twice, obviously a little skeptical.

Seeing this, Shemi knew that it would be impossible for him to gain the trust of this young man in such a short time, so he did not waste any more words to explain it. Instead, he said, "By the way, you still need to find some people who are willing to accept us. After all, my companions also need a place for them to stay."

"it is good."

In this way, Zheng Jiaquan became the messenger of the paradox species "Xie Mi".

After hearing what the young man said, Feng Linmo couldn't help but click his tongue: "Is that so... Then you are lucky to have encountered a paradox species with self-awareness, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

"Yes, it is also thanks to Him that I was able to survive until now and avoid those monsters." Zheng Jiaquan nodded in agreement.

If it weren't for Shemi, he would have died at the hands of those bloodthirsty paradoxes long ago!

"Can I ask a question?" Ye Lan opened her eyes and asked hesitantly.

She had been eavesdropping just now, and when she heard about Zheng Jiaquan's past, a trace of doubt arose in her heart.

"What?" Zheng Jiaquan loved Ye Lan and the others because he loved her so much. After chatting with Feng Linmo, he felt more favorable towards Ye Lan and the others.

"According to what you just said, that 'Shaymi' is inside you now?"

“Gone.” Hearing this, the young man shook his head and said, “Last month, He became a complete form and broke away.

As for my body...

Although He is gone, some of His power remains in my body, so that's it."

He is now similar to Bai Luo before, both of them possess part of the power of the paradox.

The only difference is.

What Bai Luo possesses is the original power of "Corrupted Dialga".

The upper limit is comparable to a paradox!

What he had was just a small part of the power left when "Shaimi" left, which was completely incomparable!

But there is no way, Bai Luo is useless now, otherwise it would not be Zheng Jiaquan's turn to show off here.

"Is this so..."

Ye Lan nodded.

It's good to leave.

After all, although that "Shemmy" had no ill will towards humans, Bai Luo had told her before that "Arzeus of the Beginning" could possess the body of a paradox species.

Although the probability is very low, we must be on guard.

So it’s good that Shemi left, at least they will be safer.

"Oh, right." Feng Linmo tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "You just said that Xiemi asked you to find some people for his companions to parasitize. Have you found them now? Are they also in this city?"

"We found it, but we separated it a long time ago." Zheng Jiaquan said, "After all, the food we found could not support so many 'Xie Mi', so we had to separate them."

Food is limited, and if all the Shemis were to gather together, they would probably all starve to death.

So they must separate, each taking their host with them to look for food and find ways to grow into a complete form!

"So what are you eating now?" Feng Linmo asked curiously.

"I seldom eat and sleep most of the time, so I consume very little energy," the boy replied.

Hearing this, Chi Feng opened his eyes instantly.

Isn't this the same as he was before?

"Then you live a really easy life." Feng Linmo sighed.

I don't need to eat much and I spend most of my time sleeping. Life is so easy!
