1369 Lucky halo, forever!
"...You misunderstood. This is my child. It just has some mutations."
The Unbounded King pretended to be calm.
Pretend, keep pretending!
Han Xiao snorted in his heart and ignored him. He turned to look at the item introduction on the panel:
[[Pivot Serpent’s Egg]]
[The Pivot Snake, also known as the World-Swallowing Snake, is a rare species that lives in the turbulent flow of space. It is extremely rare. It is a solitary creature that feeds on secondary dimensions and special information state phenomena. Each World-Swallowing Snake will only row seven times in its lifetime.
After the secondary eggs are produced, they are abandoned in the space storm and allowed to drift. When encountering secondary dimensions, they will automatically parasitize and transform into an embryonic state, sucking in multiple secondary dimensions until they are completely mature. At the same time, the pivot snake
Eggs have an extremely strong attraction to some secondary-dimensional life forms. Eating them by the larvae is of great benefit. There is a certain probability of strengthening the natural abilities and improving the life level]
[Note: The origin of this species is closely related to the World Tree. It can eat the World Tree itself and has a certain degree of restraint]
The item introduction was not long, but the information revealed surprised Han Xiao.
The Pivot Snake is just like the original Air Lice. It is not in the databases of the three major civilizations. It has never been discovered in its previous life. It is also a strange species to him.
What surprised Han Xiao the most was that this creature was actually related to the World Tree. The item introduction also specifically stated that it was the nemesis of the World Tree to a certain extent, which made him greatly surprised.
The World Tree is a cosmic wonder with unique properties, but there happens to be one creature that can restrain it. Is this one thing subverting another thing?
Perhaps the Pivot Snake is a companion species of the World Tree in a sense, specifically created to restrain it? If you think more deeply, what will be the cause of the World Tree...
For a moment, various speculations flashed through Han Xiao's mind, but he had no clue.
But one thing he can confirm is that without the item introduction on the panel, he would not be able to discover the uniqueness of this embryo at once. Since the King of Unbounded claims that this is its child, it is difficult for him to conduct in-depth research and find out the strangeness.
The result is 80% likely to be deceived by the Unbounded King, which is probably what the Unbounded King intends to do.
Various thoughts flashed through, Han Xiao raised his hand and pressed the shoulder of the Unbounded King, and said slowly:
"Do you really think that I don't know the goods? This can't be your child at all. You made up such a lie to deceive me because you are worried that I will be tempted by this thing? Our transaction requires integrity. My impression of you is not bad at the moment, so
I will give you a chance to confess. If you still lie to me, then don’t blame me for holding a grudge. No matter what happens in the future between my civilization and World Tree, I will guarantee that you will definitely die."
The Unbounded King's face twitched.
Although he holds the handle, it cannot protect him forever. Facing the threat of Han Xiao, he is still weak.
His original intention in lying was that he didn't want Black Star to investigate further, so as not to create any complications. After all, as long as you come to this secondary dimension, you can feel that some kind of life is gestating, which can easily make people curious, and the embryo has a special attraction to the dimensional gods.
If he does not claim to have a special relationship with him, he is worried that Black Star will be tempted.
I originally thought that Black Star was a visitor from the main universe. He might not be able to feel the attraction of the embryo. As long as he didn't do research, he wouldn't be able to find anything strange. He could hide it from the outside. But he didn't expect that Black Star would see through it at a glance, which would make his plan fail... Of course, he didn't rule it out.
The other party was deceiving him, but they made threats, and the King of Unbounded felt unsure.
After hesitating for a while, the Unbounded King said helplessly:
"If you know what this is, why are you asking me?"
"I just want to hear you say it yourself."
Han Xiao stood with his arms folded. He was mainly curious about how much the Unbounded King knew about the Egg of the Pivot Snake.
If he was only tempted by the "special attraction" shown in the item introduction, then the King of Unbounded's goal should be to wait for the embryo to mature and eat it. But if the origin of the pivot snake is known, then the King of Unbounded's behavior would be a bit subtle.
However, in his opinion, the Unbounded King probably does not know the connection between the Pivot Snake and the World Tree, and may not even recognize the Pivot Snake. If it were not for the notes in the item introduction, he would not know this secret, and the information is difficult to understand.
In the secondary dimensional world that spreads, it is unlikely that the Unbounded King will know such a deeply hidden secret.
Sure enough, the answer of the Unbounded King was roughly the same as what Han Xiao had guessed, saying that he discovered the embryo when he was expanding his territory and felt the attraction, so he brought it back to wait for it to mature, but it was snatched away.
After explaining it, the Unbounded King asked Han Xiao if he knew the origin of the embryo.
"Of course I know, but the information is incomplete. I only saw it once when I traveled to the secondary dimension, but unfortunately it disappeared later."
Han Xiao waved his hand and made an excuse.
Naturally, he would not disclose the information about the Pivot Snake to the King of Boundless. As for whether they pretend not to know him, we can only observe further.
"Okay...then what do you plan to do with this embryo? Our deal..." the King of Unbounded asked tentatively.
"Tsk, you are hiding something from me. Logically speaking, the transaction should be cancelled. But considering your attitude is okay, the transaction can continue, and the embryo is still yours."
Before the Unbounded King could breathe a sigh of relief, Han Xiao paused and said again:
"However, the transaction is just to help you get the embryo back. Although the embryo is in your hands, you can't eat it. I will have a mechanical army stationed here. I am very interested in this embryo and want to see it mature.
What it will look like afterwards.”
Hearing this, the Unbounded King felt helpless and could only agree... Thinking on the bright side, at least Black Star had solved three evil neighbors, so it was not a loss.
After reaching a consensus, Han Xiao asked the mechanical troops to build a temporary base around the embryo, and the King of Unbounded could only let them do whatever they wanted.
At the same time, Han Xiao's panel popped up a reminder that the mission was completed, and a large amount of experience was obtained. However, the favorability reward of the King of Unbounded shrank, only increasing by 5 points, which was obviously affected by his behavior. Only by completely returning the embryo can you get the most.
favorability, but this favorability is not important to him.
The rewarded character card is the ability of the King of Boundless. Its effect is to descend the dimension in the main universe, project the power of the King of Boundless, and summon the black liquid substance that can shield the perception of energy. It was temporarily put away by Han Xiao.
…
At the same time, the King of Unbounded Dimension.
Han Xiao, who was monitoring the Unbounded King here, broke the silence and said:
"The matter is done. I will take away these three dimensional entities and will not disturb you again. Until you fulfill your promise, I want you to know all the information about World Tree."
"……good."
The Unbounded King had no choice but to do as he was told and share this part of the memory through spiritual messages.
Han Xiao immediately transcoded these mental memories into virtual data and input them into the device.
With this information, the three major civilization expedition teams no longer need to explore like headless flies. They can save a lot of energy and head directly towards the sphere of influence of the World Tree in the secondary dimension. Although the closer they are to the territory of the World Tree Familia, the
The more dangerous it is, the more likely it is to find the location of the World Tree itself.
King of the Unbounded also comes with the coordinates of several stable areas around it, as well as part of the map. The three major civilizations no longer know anything about this deep area, and the information is quite valuable.
Han Xiao browsed the information, his eyes moved, and he suddenly said:
"I want to reach a cooperation with you on behalf of the three major civilizations. You control a large area of secondary dimensions. I hope you can lend part of your territory as a temporary outpost for the three major civilizations to explore the world of secondary dimensions, so that our expedition can
The team can assemble and rest here, which can be of great help to us, what do you think?"
Hearing this, the Unbounded King suddenly felt secretly annoyed. He felt that the other party was kicking his nose in his face, and he couldn't help but warn:
"I don't want to get involved in your war. Don't forget that I still hold your hand."
"It's okay. We are temporarily stationed here to give you more leverage. And we are here. Even if you don't welcome us, our large-scale follow-up troops will definitely pass by here. You might as well reach cooperation with us.
, and you can get additional benefits.”
Han Xiao didn’t take it seriously.
If you get the support of the Unbounded King, you can get the coordinates of the edge of the Unbounded King's territory and travel there at once, saving the time of slowly crossing this area.
Setting up a transfer station in this deep area is equivalent to getting a new entrance. Just like a recording point, the expedition team can set off directly from here as soon as they enter, saving a lot of distance, which is very helpful for expedition operations.
The Unbounded King felt uncertain in his heart. After weighing it for a long time, he finally nodded, quite helplessly.
Even though he had the handle, he did not dare to use it easily because he was worried about the consequences. Instead, Black Star took the initiative. Although Black Star helped him drive away his evil neighbors, this move was undoubtedly seeking the skin of a tiger. The King of Unbounded already regretted inviting a wolf into his house.
.
It's all because of this cheater, Babuanika, who got me into trouble with this guy. How dare he brag about being my confidant? He's more of a serious problem!
Buzz——
Just when the Unbounded King was angry, Harrison returned to the main body in a vehicle. He had already exited the "please get on top" state and regained body control.
Han Xiao released the magnetic force, drew Harrison in front of him, handed the device recording the information into his hand, and ordered:
"The matter is basically settled. I have reached a deal with the King of Unbounded. He is willing to lend some secondary dimensions to serve as our outpost. He will release the expedition team later. You can report the situation to the commander and give this information to
He asked them to stop advancing and wait here until I go back to notify the three major civilizations..."
"I understand, I promise to complete the task."
Harrison nodded frequently, remembering everything in his mind.
Seeing how well-behaved he was, Han Xiao felt complicated.
Although Harrison and others suffered this time, it was also a blessing in disguise, bringing substantial progress to the plan to search for the true form of the World Tree, and finding a "temporary ally" deep in the secondary dimension.
What surprised Han Xiao the most was that Harrison set out to search for the World Tree's body. Now that he had no clue about its location, he first found a strange object that could restrain the body...
What else could he say?
Lucky halo, forever dripping with God!
'It was indeed the right decision to let Harrison join the expedition...'
Han Xiao was very pleased.
If the Unbounded King hadn't discovered his backer from Harrison's memory, the expedition would have been gone. In the previous life, perhaps due to the difference in timelines, the Unbounded King had already eaten the Pivot Snake embryo, or it could be for other reasons.
In short, Han Xiao has not heard that the three major civilizations obtained the eggs of the pivot snake.
If there was such a trump card in the previous life, the difficulty of the assault on the main body should be reduced a lot.
However, although it is worthwhile to get a trump card, it can only work if the World Tree itself is found, and Han Xiao is still curious about the connection between the Pivot Snake and the World Tree.
Chapter completed!
