Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 146: Ladder Life Tree (7000)

All——

A clear siren sounded throughout the Siren, and the lights in the banquet hall suddenly turned red, making all the distinguished guests and officials present alert.

For a while, more than seventy bright spiritual energy shields lit up in the entire hall. The reason why more did not light up was because the surrounding natural spiritual energy was exhausted, and the relatively poor quality spiritual energy accessories could not Borrow the surrounding natural spiritual energy.

This is also why the better the quality of psychic accessories, the higher the price will be exponentially - because at critical moments, there will be such a psychic run on as now!

"What happened?"

"An attack? An assassin?"

"Protect your lord!" "Sir, stand in the middle!"

Just two seconds later, in the originally peaceful banquet hall, the tables full of various delicacies and pastries were overturned and erected, solidified with source essence, and built as simple protective walls. Temporary fort.

The noble officials frowned, hid in it under the protection of their own guards, and carefully observed the surrounding situation.

Because most of these noble officials are protected by psychic accessories, which exude a rather dazzling light. In the dark red hall, they are like light bulbs, reflecting colorful lights-convenient for attack, but also more convenient Protect.

"There are no assassins!"

Soon, some guards realized that the danger did not come from the surroundings, but they became more vigilant instead-was it an assassination against someone? So an attack on the entire Siren?

Although it is very dangerous, fortunately they were prepared!

In a ghostly place like Terra, even officials who have been in the central government or the court all year round must be cautious of various surprise attacks and need to master various life-saving secrets.

Don't talk about the assassination of strong men from other countries, it is not uncommon for strong men in their own country to discuss policies and start fighting.

It's like the war between the Imperial Academy and the Great Library... You said that according to common sense, a researcher doesn't need to master any combat skills, and a librarian doesn't need any life-saving skills, right?

But when the Earl of Phoenix and Dean Moze fought, their personal guard knights would not tell you about their occupations. They would start a war when they came.

In the final analysis, it is Terra Continent, and the strong are respected!

People who are not strong must learn how to save their lives!

"It seems that a monster is coming."

As for Xiou, he is still eating pastries at the moment.

She was not affected by the warning at all, and continued to put a baked powder cake into her mouth happily. The dragon girl chewed and muttered to herself, but her eyes looked at the distant sea beyond the Siren: "Wow... this amount ...Dragon King!"

Even the real dragon couldn't help being a little surprised: "Let's not talk about the number, there are actually three third-level beast kings?!"

"I have wandered around the South China Sea for decades, and I have only seen the king of sea beasts at the third level once!"

[Third Level Sea Beast Attack Alert]

At this moment, the voice of the captain of the Siren, Captain Eldon, sounded: [According to the observation of the Siren, there are three third-level sea beast kings approaching the ship, and the frigates around the Siren have already contacted the ship. A group of sea beasts fought, but the enemy group was too large for the **** fleet to stop】

【You are all distinguished guests of Canaan Moore, we will do our best to ensure your safety. The Empire’s South Sea Fleet and our Silent Sea Fleet are approaching. I will also set off immediately to negotiate with the Sea Kings. Please Don't worry everyone...]

Starting from the words 'the king of the three-headed third-level sea beasts', the complexions of all noble officials present began to change suddenly, and after hearing the words 'please don't worry', even the most hearty People couldn't help complaining loudly: "Worry about a fart, the three-headed Neptune of the third energy level, what's the use of worrying?"

"If I knew it was bad news, why did I lift the table." Someone picked up his hat from the ground and put it on his head while complaining, "I haven't finished my red blood steak yet."

"Yes." A Canaan Moore official who was on alert wiped his glasses and sighed: "But I don't have the heart to eat, so I'll write a suicide note first."

For a while, the atmosphere in the banquet hall even warmed up for a short time. Although there were not people who were so frightened that they almost peed out, but with the psychological quality of the Terra people, most people rationally accepted the fate of life and death. fact.

It's no wonder that their reaction was too exaggerated... because the fact that three third-level monsters joined forces to attack is itself such an exaggeration.

On the earth, the material circulation of most living things revolves around the land and the coastal waters around the land. In fact, there are not many large-scale creatures in the deep ocean, especially those thousands of kilometers away from the land. It is isolated from many lands and seas. Ocean currents and fish schools are difficult to reach, only extremely low-level plankton and algae exist, and the biological density can even be compared with deserts, or even less than deserts.

Most large-scale marine organisms will live in areas close to land and ocean currents, and the deep sea area thousands of meters deep relies on chemical synthetic bacteria, that is, submarine volcanoes and black chimneys to support small-scale ecosystems, which is impossible Cultivate the deep-sea monsters imagined by ordinary people.

But in Terra, it is different.

Terra has plasm and natural psionic presence.

Just like the super-giant spiritual energy field of the Eternal Silence Ocean, a huge ocean current cycle is directly constructed in the sea, directly pouring the source matter from the sun into the deep sea, and the spiritual energy field is weak in the crust. The thermal energy that was pulled away from the center of the earth... This turned the supposedly barren deep sea of ​​Terra into a paradise for countless creatures to multiply.

As Xiou said in his heart - in Terra, there are very few third-level monsters near the sea.

Because the offshore area is the territory of land titans and 'human beings'.

But in the deep sea far away from the land, there is a battlefield of **** where many sea beasts fight.

Viscount Grant's bloodline 'Abyssal Lizard Whale' is the overlord of the deep sea abyss. It will also come to the sea surface to spit clouds and mist, float into the atmosphere, soar above the sky, and absorb the source of the sun to achieve the final evolution. , into a dragon whale that is almost like a dragon. But most lizard whales are like their name, just lizards rather than dragons.

Yin En has also studied Terra's marine ecology, and the result of his research is, 'What kind of sacred place is the ocean in this place? '——A lot of sea creatures who know whether they were original or mutated from Terra, and alien warcraft from at least seven or eight different planets (or the beast version after the aliens lost their wisdom) seemed to be Killing each other in the calm sea, each with different skills and abilities, and these strange things all merge, hybridize, absorb, and evolve in the sea of ​​Terra...

God knows what's going on there.

Yin En guessed at that time that the situation in Terra Ocean was so complicated that it was directly related to the fact that the Skyfall spacecraft fell directly into the depths of the ocean... Most of the parts of the Skyfall spacecraft should be in the sea. It was also the reason why he valued the crystal dragon avatar so much.

With such a monster body that can move freely in the sea, it will be much smoother than humans.

But even in such an almost crazy Terra ocean ecosystem, the behemoth of the third energy level is also an existence at the upper level of the food chain.

The higher-level fourth-level Titan Sea Beast is the overlord of the seas, or the head of a clan, and does not move frequently, while the fifth-level sea god, such as the protector' crystal of Far Sword Port Long Fursti' doesn't care what territory it is, so in fact, it is these third-level sea kings who travel across the sea and frequently deal with human beings.

Each of them leads a huge group, and can stir up huge waves with their own power, creating storms and small-scale tsunamis... Ordinary naval fleets can only consider themselves unlucky when encountering them, let alone merchant ships , Therefore, in some routes close to the ocean, strong human beings are needed to sign contracts with the kings of sea beasts to ensure the stability of the routes.

But now, there are actually three sea kings violating the contract and attacking from the deep sea... On the entire Siren, there is only Elden, who is apparently the third energy level, what else can he do except wait for death?

Even the spies and killers are in a hurry.

"What happened?!"

The internal communication channel of the Institute of the Intellect has become a mess: "Who attracted the Neptune? Didn't it just attract a group of blue giant chapters to divert Elden's attention? How did you attract the beast king of the third level?" , three heads?!"

"I don't know!" The spy in charge of this aspect looked blank: "Even if the lure bait is really so useful, I only lured one monster lair..."

At the same time, the killer hired by the Canaan Moore Council also hid in the corner of the cabin, and roared to the communication device in a low voice: "I asked you to lure the monsters to find a chance for me, not to ask you to lure the beast king Killed all the people on the Ren - if you want to kill everyone, why invite me!? There are a large group of imperial nobles and businessmen on board, do you want to create a major diplomatic incident?!"

"If you break the rules, even if the mission is successful, we will be thrown out as scapegoats!"

"Trash!" The spies of the Heavenly Royal Court also angrily scolded the other end of the communication device: "Are you trying to let the Empire and Canaan Moore directly fight against the Royal Court? Our goal is to assassinate key targets, not to kill people." Kill them all!"

…

It seems that the reason why there are three different kings of sea beasts attacking is very clear.

"Three third-level monsters are enough to start a war."

After Xiou finished eating the snacks in front of her, she stood up, stretched herself, then shook her head, and walked out of the hall.

The red-haired girl sighed in her heart: "No wonder Yin En asked me to help stop it—this is a troublesome matter. But it's not a big problem, and I'm a little curious why they come here."

Thinking of this, Xiou's eyes lighted up faintly, and her soul escaped into the void, where she went to negotiate with the souls of the kings of sea beasts.

…

"Sure enough, someone wants to do something to me."

Siren, deep in the cabin, storage compartment No. 17.

At the center of the incident, the bioalchemist Grave Feiye quietly listened to Captain Elden's announcement, and nodded calmly: "Is it the council of my hometown, or the Institute of the Intellect? Radicals... Huh, maybe they came together? They definitely don't have the guts to disturb the king of sea beasts, at most they will attract a group of second-level monsters to harass and attract Elden's attention."

"The reason why these kings of sea beasts came here is entirely because of you."

Turning his eyes back to the silver alloy secret box in front of him, the old elf said with a touch of excitement, "Sure enough, my deduction is correct...you didn't die at all, you were just suppressed by the secret method of the Academy of the Spirits Life activity."

"As long as you come to the outside world, you will gradually recover, grow... and attract other creatures to become your scroll family and become part of the ecology you built."

"Immediately, it will become your recovery power."

Muttering to himself, Master Gravey raised his hand and stroked the silver alloy secret box. He could vaguely see that the elf's fingertips had already shown some woody lines: "The empire just wants to figure out your The wonderful phenomenon of soul resonance between you and the Juan family, but I want to know your immortality, immortality and immortality."

"The tree of rebirth, the eternal sacred tree...the sky ladder is immortal, the tree of life——the **** who came to Terra in the lost era and almost destroyed the Quinnor Plain."

"I want to know where your true strength lies."

The Lost Age is a long blank period in Terra's history.

Some scholars believe that the length of the lost era should be more than three hundred years and less than five hundred years, but some scholars believe that the duration of the lost era should be about one thousand years. Both sides have a lot of evidence to prove .

But no matter what, they can confirm that... During the Lost Era, there were many terrible wars on the continent of Terra.

The original sublimators fought against many terrifying sublimation behemoths, and the heaven, earth and ocean also undergone tremendous changes. The terrifying geological changes completely changed the terrain of every part of the Terra continent, and even the geological structure of the entire planet. All changed because of it.

Ordinary scholars, the research on the lost era ends here.

However, Gravey knows that in the Lost Era, a large part of the terrifying existences that fought against the primitive sublimated humans among humans were giant beasts called "Gods Beyond Heaven".

Among those monsters, there are giant snakes that are as huge as mountains, and giant algae that overturn the world and descend with meteorites; The glorious bird of the sun...

Naturally, plants also exist among these gods outside the sky.

The Ladder Life Tree is one of them.

This is an extremely powerful plant-type alien **** that once descended around the Quinol Plain. The moment it descended, it assimilated all the protozoa on the entire plain, turning them into its own genus...then At that time, the earliest residents of the imperial capital used the power of the imperial capital to fight the sacred tree and its subordinates, and finally sealed and suppressed it in the mantle fifty kilometers below the imperial capital, and the price was the earliest controllers of the imperial capital It was severely damaged, lost and disappeared in the subsequent war, and was later occupied by the Setar people.

It is said that there were other reasons for the aborigines of the imperial capital to defeat the ladder of life tree back then. They seemed to be very familiar with the characteristics of the "Shenmu" series of outer gods, and even used the power of the ladder of life tree to strengthen the defense of the imperial capital.

Glavey's identity is, after all, a first-generation immigrant. He has no access to the most core information, so he can only know these rumors that are almost legendary.

But this does not prevent him from using his own knowledge to directly join the team studying the Ladder Life Tree.

But this is not a good thing... because it is too close, it caused so much trouble after leaving.

With Gravey's wisdom, how could he not think that someone would want to attack him? After all, he has also worked in the Institute of Gnosis for decades, and he knows their mode of action very well.

But there are times when brute force trumps cunning. After leaving the Gnosis Academy, Gravey didn't have any trustworthy guards, and Canaan Moore's protection couldn't be trusted either, so he could only rely on himself to protect himself.

There is no life, and dreams are meaningless.

It's just that Gravey didn't expect that the breath of the 'God Beyond the Sky' is so attractive to sea beasts... He just released a little dew with its pheromone, which can attract three heads The king of sea beasts, this was also beyond his expectations.

Theoretically speaking, it would be good to be able to attract one. Such a crisis is enough to make those spy killers in a hurry, and they cannot come to trouble him in a short time.

Three heads are a bit too much, and Gravey is not sure whether Elden can block it... But at this time, he can only trust the other party, and he must come to check whether there is a silver box that stores the "Ladder of Life" Missing.

If the power of the Tree of Life is really leaked out, 99% of the crew on the Siren will probably be eroded by pollution and become its scroll clan.

Fortunately not. After the inspection, Gravey confirmed this. The three sea beasts probably sensed the pure vitality of the tree of life and came to investigate the situation. Also, if it is really leaked, it will not be the third energy level, but the fourth energy level Titan.

But at this moment, a cold light shot from behind him surprised Gravey. He didn't expect that he would be followed and found after sneaking into the cabin. This cold light came extremely fast, surpassing the speed of sound However, the wind source suppressed the sound waves, so there was no sound. Even though Gravey's second-level spirit could react, his aging and rigid body couldn't move immediately.

Peng, the cold light reveals his real body, it is a sleeve arrow shining with silver light, it directly hit the back of Master Gravey's head, and then...

It was like a bullet hitting an iron wall, and was bounced away with a crisp metal clanging sound.

"Huh?" The person who made the shot was also extremely surprised. He had no idea that the assassination arrows allocated by the council were so weak——Although Master Gravey is at the second energy level, he has already entered the final aging period of his life. Theoretically speaking , this supersonic sleeve arrow is enough to pierce the opponent's surface flesh and blood, and then inject the poison into it, killing him instantly!

But who knew that such a supersonic assassination arrow couldn't even pierce the target's skin? Master Grave's strength far exceeded expectations!

—Damn it, our intelligence has always been inaccurate! The assassin couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

But the problem is not big, he still has a chance!

"Slay the killer directly? It seems that it should be the side of the council." At this moment, Master Gravey's body began to turn around slowly, and activated the psionic ornaments on his body, which could be vaguely seen, shrouded in a layer of emerald green shimmer Immediately after his whole body, a layer of oval diamond-shaped grid shield emerged.

Relying on the power of the tree of life, Gravey's physical strength is far stronger than that of the general second energy level, but because of this, his physical flexibility has also dropped significantly, and his steps are as slow as a real tree.

Facing the killers of the Canaan Moore Council, he was not worried, but he was a little strange: "The three-headed sea beast king attacked, and they also want to kill me? It seems that the council really doesn't want me Come back...it should be because the scientific research faction that the teacher belongs to failed in the struggle, and the victor does not want me to go back to power and pull up the team again."

One-on-one council killer, Gravey is quite confident. Although his body of the scroll clan has not been completely transformed, but in terms of toughness, it can be regarded as a very top defense sublimation inheritance. The third level usually wants to It takes a little effort to break it, and it will definitely last until the guard knights on the Siren discover it.

But soon, he and the council killer all changed their expressions.

Because on the other side, accompanied by an invisible gust of wind hitting the wall of the storage compartment like a giant hammer, a tall and majestic man directly crashed into the wall, charging straight with a long ax in hand.

This strong man was obviously in a hurry to come, and he didn't notice the brief fight between Gravey and the council killer, so when he rushed into the storage cabin, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't understand it except himself How could there be other people besides the target.

——The Gale Charge of the Royal Court of Heaven!

Master Gravey didn't know much about sublimation combat skills, but the council killer beside him couldn't help feeling surprised. The other party was obviously a killer spy from the Heavenly Royal Court, and the target should also be Master Gravey.

It sounds like the two of them have the same goal, and it seems that they can work together to kill their mission target... But how is it possible? Now that they already know each other's true face, the relationship between the two parties will never end!

The big man obviously also noticed this, and his eyes sank.

But before the three people present could calm down and confront each other, the ceiling of No. 17 storage compartment suddenly began to tremble violently, and then melted silently under the high heat. The masked man also rushed down with an extremely fierce momentum.

But in the middle of the pounce, a wave of doubt and fright came, and the killer of the Imperial Academy of Gnostics turned around in mid-air and jumped to the other side of the storage cabin—he looked at it in shock and bewilderment. Looking at the three of them at the same time, they couldn't figure out what the situation was.

——What's going on, where is the killer spy meeting?

For a while, the entire storage compartment fell into a strange silence. The crew of the Siren have now gone to combat positions to prepare for the next sea beast raid, and most of the guard knights are gathered around the banquet hall to protect those important nobles and officials.

This is the most dangerous time, but also the safest time, so the four people present all started their actions at the same time, and gathered beside this secret storage cabin.

"I didn't expect so many people to want to kill me."

Facing the three killers with their own unique skills, even Master Gravey, no matter how confident he is, is still breaking out in cold sweat at this moment, especially the killer from the Institute of the Intellect, the spiritual fire burning on his body is overwhelming him. It began to transform into the body of the Shenmujuan family, obviously the other party already knew part of his plan.

But Gravey thought that the Institute of the Intellect would destroy the pile of research manuscripts left in the room at most, but he didn't expect that the Institute of the Intellect would kill him!

This is a misunderstanding—the killer of the Institute of the Intellect simply thought that Gravey had more secret manuscripts stored in other places, so he planned to come over to see the situation... Who knew that such a small storage room would actually There are so many people, it is really incomprehensible to him.

The four sides confronted each other, and an atmosphere of danger or embarrassment circulated in the air. Everyone stared at the other three nervously, not daring to speak or move, for fear of showing their flaws in front of others.

A few minutes passed, ten minutes passed, the four of them were still motionless, very calm, and for various reasons, the crew of the Siren did not notice any abnormality here.

Everyone is quite patient, as long as no one comes over, they will never take the lead in showing their flaws. Just ten minutes, for professionally trained killers like them, it was a blink of an eye.

—Is it over?

On the contrary, Master Gravey has already started to roar in his heart. He is old and has long been unable to concentrate. Not to mention as a researcher, although he has the patience to carry out long experiments, he is extremely impatient with this situation.

—Is it over? My time is precious!

The same thought crosses another researcher's mind.

So... the next moment.

A cold wind blew up, and a silver light pierced the darkness with thunder.

Heaven King's Court Killer suddenly felt an extremely cold force coming from behind him. The extreme numbness and coldness spread to his entire back almost instantly, followed by the blade stirring his internal organs. The stabbing pain made him stagger forward and fall to the ground.

Can't start again.

The killer of the Canaan Moore Council was slightly stunned. He reacted the fastest, noticing that the thunderous silver sword light pierced the big man's chest and abdomen, then lightly sliced ​​through the opponent's ribs and flesh horizontally, and then Moving towards his neck.

He raised the assassination dagger in his hand, trying to block the blow, but it was too slow. After the assassin was stunned for a moment, he saw the broken sword in his hand, his body, and His own smooth-cut neck.

The killer of the Lingzhi Academy turned around and fled. Although he didn't understand what happened at all, his instinctive sense of crisis almost wailed and ordered him to leave this place immediately. An extremely strong premonition of death made him just want to Vomiting...but before that, a flash of lightning caught up to him.

Instantly, the head of this psyker who was covered in spiritual fire really started to burn, and dazzling blue-white fire pillars shot out from his mouth, nose and ears, with bright blue-blue electric arcs.

"Who?!"

Master Gravey only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and the three people who were confronting him all fell down, but soon, he saw a white and firm fist, like a fist made of withered white jade.

Followed by shock, dizziness, unstoppable daze and self-doubt.

Master Grave passed out.
