planter of the future

An Yi didn't expect that things would be like this, let alone that the real murderous intent was always outside the illusion.Seeing it clearly at this time, it is inevitable not to be afraid-if there is no Ares, he may have finished the game.

"I'm fine." An Yi bent down and kissed Ares on the face a few times as a comfort.

Ares raised his head, but still held An Yi's hand and did not let go.However, his expression has regained his composure.

An Yi took out some food from the space for Ares to eat. Even if there is a elixir, his body still needs some food.

Ares didn't refuse.While Ares was eating, An Yi lowered his head and touched Fanfan's face, under Fanfan's tired stare, he smiled and said, "Thank you."

If it wasn't for Fanfan's help to contact him inside and outside the illusion, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find Ares so easily.

Fan Fan rolled his eyes at An Yi, then yawned, leaned against An Yi's chest and closed his eyes, and said, "I need to rest for a while..."

An Yi adjusted Fanfan's posture, then looked left and right, and asked Ares, "Isn't Phil here?"

Ares frowned slightly: "I didn't find her when I got here."

An Yi's heart suddenly rose, and she had some bad premonition inexplicably.

And soon, this premonition was confirmed.

After Ares and An Yi had a good rest and withdrew from the ice wall, they found that all the puppets that had surrounded the ice wall had retreated to the edge of the cave, looking at them in a wait-and-see attitude.Even if the ice wall was withdrawn, those dark puppets would not be seen rushing forward.

An Yi took the opportunity to look at those puppet insects. They were indeed very similar to praying mantises. They were much bigger in size, and they acted like humans. Such big creatures were really difficult to deal with.

"What are they doing?" An Yi frowned.

Ares suddenly reached out and grabbed An Yi.An Yi was surprised, and looked at Ares, and just as Ares opened his mouth, An Yi "heard" a voice.

"Come to me, she is with me. You are alone, come to me. Otherwise she will die."

It's the worm king.

"Boom--"

There was a sudden shaking in the cave, and then a big hole opened in the ground.A downward-facing staircase appeared.

"Don't go." Ares gripped An Yi's hand a little tighter. Although he didn't hear the voice, the current situation couldn't be more understandable.

But Ares quickly changed his tone, and he said, "I'll go down with you."

An Yi shook his head: "The Zonghuang only wants me to go down alone."

Ares gritted his teeth and looked at An Yi stubbornly.

An Yi sighed, reached out to hold Ares' face, and kissed it.Then he untied Fanfan from his arms and stuffed them into Ares' arms.

"Wait for me here, Ares. I'll be back."

"You're lying." Ares grabbed An Yi's hand, with a tense expression, as if he was suppressing a beast that was about to rush out of his body, and said: "You said that last time, but you lie."

"I will come back, I promise." An Yi reached out and stroked Ares's long hair soothingly, and smiled: "Even if I can't come back, you will pull me back, won't you?"

"It's different."

"Don't you have confidence?"

"It's different." Ares said: "Just now, you didn't walk out of the illusion, and your mental power can't resist the Zerg Emperor. If, if... Where can I find you? I can't even release my mental power Now, how do I go to find you? How long will you leave me, another 1000 years? I can’t possibly be alive by then.”

Ares is like a child who suddenly lost his sense of security. He returned to the afternoon of the end of the world. He endured unbearable hunger and waited for An Yi to come back in that dilapidated empty house, but it was not his An Yi who came back. .

"Ares." An Yi frowned slightly, his spiritual tentacles pierced Ares' brain without warning, and the spiritual tentacles were like gentle water, slowly flowing along Ares' nerves and massaging them.

Sure enough, An Yi discovered that Ares's spirit had been passively manipulated, and very small hands and feet can make people's bias towards something aggravated.For example, Ares is now stubborn.

"I'll be back, Ares." An Yi comforted Ares's spirit, and at the same time gently kissed Ares' cheek: "You know, I'm strong. You also know, I love you very much, So I will never let you live alone."

Ares took a few deep breaths, and his mood gradually stabilized: "I'll wait for you here for three hours. If you don't come back in three hours, I'll go find you."

"Okay." An Yi smiled and looked into Ares's eyes: "I'll be back soon, and you have to be careful, the Emperor of Zombies has given you a spiritual hint, and he won't let you stay here safely."

As An Yi said, he looked around at the swarms of puppets sticking to the edge of the cave wall.

"I know." Ares' eyes were full of anger, but he looked at An Yi with gentle eyes: "I will be fine."

"Well. Let's see you later."

"it is good."

After An Yi finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the downward staircase passage.As soon as An Yi's head sank under the passage, the passage suddenly closed; at the same time, all the puppets clinging to the walls in the cave rushed towards Ares.

＞＞＞＞

When the entrance of the passage was closed again, fluorescence suddenly lit up in the passage, and the stone steps turned into a light-transmitting texture like jade, and the entire passage was dazzlingly bright, completely opposite to the cave above.

However, with the precedent of "Taoyuan" before, An Yi has almost developed a physical aversion to such a beautiful picture.

After walking in the beautiful passage for about 5 minutes, An Yi's eyes became clear, and he reached the entrance of the passage.

This scene is really familiar.

An Yi walked out of the passage, with soft turf under his feet and a cave roof inlaid with fluorite above his head, which looked as beautiful as a sea of ​​stars; in the center of the cave, stood a huge tree.

An Yi couldn't tell what kind of tree it was, just like the ones often seen in movies, with a dense canopy, a thick trunk, tall, strong, and gnarled, which fit all the labels people have for the word "big tree".

The canopy of the big tree is illuminated by the fluorite on the top of the cave, and the leaves reflect a faint light, as if they have been varnished one by one. If it is more transparent, it will be like glass or crystal.

An Yi took two steps forward, and looked around.

Under the radiance of fluorite, there are many openings on the cave wall, only the size of a fist, densely packed like a honeycomb, covering the entire cave wall.

"Hello." An Yi didn't move to the place where he was pinching him. He shouted and looked around vigilantly, with mental tentacles hanging on his sides, ready to attack at any time.

After An Yi called out, there was no response.When he yelled again, he heard the voice of the Zonghuang.

"You came."

This time the voice was not through the spirit, but a real voice, and An Yi was very familiar with it——Phil.

An Yi looked in the direction of the voice, and then his eyes widened in shock at the scene in front of him: the trunk of the big tree separated like quicksilver, and Phil was squeezed out of it, but Phil was still the same. is embedded in a tree.

At this time, Phil's eyes were opened, his expression was numb, and her mouth was closed, making the sound that the Zonghuang wanted An Yi to hear.

"Let her go." An Yi didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.

Phil looked at An Yi and continued, "Come here, I don't need her."

An Yi's heart began to beat violently.With the lessons learned from the previous "Taoyuan", An Yi has a new understanding of the spiritual strength between himself and the Zonghuang. He has no confidence in defeating the Zonghuang.

But you have to try.

"Before that, I want to meet you." An Yi looked at Phil and said with a cold expression: "The puppet clan has been lurking for so many years, and the evolution of the survival of the fittest has even made the orc race almost extinct. Now it has recovered, causing What is the purpose of my coming here? If you want to invade the human city, wouldn't it be better to come quietly?"

"You're procrastinating." Phil said, "But it doesn't matter."

Phil: "I'm a puppet, I have no intelligence or self-awareness. Even now, I have so many brains..."

With the sound of Phil's voice, the crown of the big tree made the sound of "cracking" leaves, and then the layers of leaves opened layer by layer, revealing the things covered by the leaves.

Brains, literally brains.Both human and animal.

The surface of those brains was covered with a light yellow membrane, and inside the membrane was a transparent liquid of the same color.These brains are like fruits growing on the branches, and some of them will shrink slightly or twitch.Pieces of large and small brains, like numerous fruits, finally gathered on the tree trunk through thin transparent lines.

An Yi took a deep breath and almost couldn't spit it out.

"...I know a lot about humans, orcs, bugs, and beasts, but I still don't have my own thoughts, desires, and goals. I'm not really alive." Phil continued.

Phil: "I, the puppet worm, parasitized and evolved rapidly in order to survive. Now, we, the puppet worm, have become very powerful, as you said, and even almost exterminated the orcs-although it was not our will .

And now, out of the whole group, I show up.I know a lot of human things, and I like human things.I want to be human.Not a machine for breeding these bugs. "

Phil: "Now, you can come here, I need your... body."

After saying this, Phil's body was completely squeezed out by the tree trunk.At the same time as she fell, An Yi's mental tentacles were thrown out, pulling Phil directly to her side.

The voice of the Zonghuang rang in An Yi's mind again, and it was smiling: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise. Because, you can't escape..."

at the same time.In the cave above.

Ares had no intention of playing wheel battles with those puppets. He had already recharged his batteries and blocked all the entrances and exits, blocking the way the puppets came in and out, and then killed the puppets trapped inside. .

After that, Ares rested in place, waiting for the time to come.

When he rested for less than 10 minutes, the thick ice at the entrance of a cave in the distance shattered, and a ball of flame rushed out, leading a group of puppet insects into the cave.

"Master Sion!" In the flames, Phil's face was exposed. Before she could say anything, the ice came again, sealing the hole, and Ares also came to Phil.

Ares's face was full of shock and anger: "Why are you here?"

Phil looked blank: "Since we separated, I have been wandering around in the cave. Just now I felt the cold here, so I wanted to come here to try my luck... By the way, where is An Yi?"

Ares didn't speak, he turned his head abruptly, staring at the ground full of puppet corpses.
