Volume 19 Chapter 172 The Ghost Tree’s Plan for Two-Slaying Eagle

The neighbor of the Soul Tree is not a creature. This guy is simply a fierce spirit, and it is a super fierce spirit that has reached a certain level. I quickly saw his neighbor under the general direction given by the Soul Tree, but the way he greeted him is very special. You can imagine what reaction will you have when you walk alone in the dark forest, and then suddenly a half-decayed dead face appears in front of you at a distance of only a few centimeters?

My reaction was exaggerated because I was scared. The moment the face appeared, my brain reflexed and punched the other party without any time. The unlucky evil ghost rushed towards me again at a faster speed. But this time, it was even more unlucky than the last time. I directly pinched my throat. No matter how hard it struggled, it could not shake it.

In fact, there is no so-called key to people who can pinch it. The reason why this guy can't struggle when he is pinched is entirely because he still has memories of his life. Because he was a human being during his lifetime, he would instinctively think that he was being controlled after pinching his neck. In fact, with its ghost system, there is nothing that happened. As long as he is willing, he can even leave my hands by giving up some of his limbs.

"Poor guy, it seems that you are very unhappy about the Soul Tree?" After grabbing the evil spirit in front of me, I also understood why the Soul Tree asked me to come here. Obviously, this guy is not as interesting as the Soul Tree says, and the only purpose of the Soul Tree tricking me over is to help him solve a problem.

In fact, the souls that I saw around the Soul Tree before were not gathered together voluntarily. They were all forced to gather together with their own abilities. Just like the Fire Tree needs to absorb fire elements, and the Natural Tree needs to absorb natural power, the Soul Tree is a plant that must rely on the soul to survive, so it forcibly gathers all the ghosts in the nearby area into that area and forces them to devour each other. Finally, when a soul devours enough souls and strengthens it to a certain extent, the Soul Tree will capture this powerful soul by its side and then swallow it away. This is the way of survival of the Soul Tree.

After successfully capturing this fierce spirit, I asked Ling to help read the guy's memory. According to his memory, this guy was originally one of the poor souls that should not be swallowed. However, for some reason, he did not lose his mind after devouring enough souls, but instead recovered his memory during his lifetime and became a ghost with only human thinking.

Before, those unconscious souls would instinctively devour each other to strengthen themselves. When they devoured enough of their kind, they would become more and more irritable and eventually become completely irrational evil spirits. Such evil spirits had no other consciousness except killing and devouring, so when the Soul Tree needed to absorb them, these guys didn't know that they would run away at all. Although they would resist, the strength gap was there, and the guy who didn't know that the escaped guys would be swallowed up. However, the guy in front of him was an alien.

Because of human thinking, he had one more ability than those evil spirits, which was thinking. When he was just wise, although he thought of leaving, after he found that devouring his kind could strengthen himself, he regarded the open space as a paradise. He originally planned to strengthen there to a certain intensity before leaving, but after he survived carefree for a period of time, he suddenly discovered a very strong kind of person who was eaten by the big tree in the center that he always thought was very ordinary. After that, he discovered this thing twice, and finally he realized that the tree was powerful and dangerous. After measuring the result of fighting with him, he decisively chose to escape.

Before, because those unconscious souls did not know how to run even if they were strong, the Soul Tree did not waste any effort to arrange any isolation facilities to prevent the ghost from escaping. In fact, because it has been activated to attract ghosts, not only did the ghosts not leave, but many ghosts passing by or emerging nearby would gather here from time to time. Because there were no escape ghosts, the Soul Tree did not set up an interception facility at all, and as a result, this guy easily left that range.

Although the soul is very strong, no matter how strong it is, it is just a tree. The biggest problem with the tree is that it cannot move. Facing an inmovable man-eating tree, the safest way is to stay away from him. The guy in front of him chose the most correct method. He ran out of that area and found that the ability of the soul tree actually cannot exceed the scope of the open space except for the ability to attract ghosts. In other words, as long as he does not enter the open space, the soul tree will definitely have no tricks.

After escaping from the danger zone, the guy began to plan to return to the world, but after stalking in the underworld for a while, he finally realized that the gap between the human world and hell was not something he, a little person without a background, could pass. Therefore, he began to keep his feet on the ground and want to become stronger. If he wanted to return to the world, the easiest way to get powerful power besides knowing those big men in the underworld is to gain powerful power.

For a ghost, the easiest way to strengthen it is to devour other ghosts. First, this guy just searched for ghosts everywhere to devour, but soon he couldn't hold on. The various wild ghosts were not all very weak. On the contrary, a large part of them were even more powerful than him. In this case, there were actually not many goals for him to choose. Moreover, even if a soul is weaker than him, the other party would not let him devour. Those souls generally resisted violently, and every time he could successfully devour the other party, he would have to fight.

A few hours or even a day. This speed is undoubtedly quite slow and is very dangerous. After all, a battle that lasts a few hours or even a day will inevitably attract the attention of many nearby creatures. You should know that this is a dangerous hell, not the world. Even if there are fishermen waiting for the snipe and clam to fight, there are more people like hell. Therefore, most of the time, this guy did not successfully swallow his opponent, but was forced to escape early in the middle of the fight. Ten attacks can succeed at most, and it depends on luck.

Such a low success rate and unthinkable danger forced this guy to think of other ways. After thinking about it, he thought of the Soul Tree. The powerful temptation ability of the Soul Tree will automatically gather souls in the surrounding area around it, which provides more targets for the guy in front of him for him to choose from. And in the subsequent contact, he actually found that the souls that were affected and gathered here involuntarily seemed to be in a confused state like sleepwalking. This phenomenon made his attack extremely simple, because these souls with almost no reaction ability did not know how to resist at all, so let alone souls that were weaker than him, even if there were people who were stronger than him, they could easily succeed.

Since he discovered this phenomenon, this guy has been around the Soul Tree. Then he regards the Soul Tree as a bait, and he lurks near the bait to attack the attracted prey. However, although his method is a great thing for him, it is not the case in the Soul Tree. His behavior directly leads to a sharp decline in the number of souls entering the Soul Tree's sphere of influence, which is like grabbing food from the Soul Tree's rice bowl. Do you think the Soul Tree has a good impression of him?

After understanding this relationship with the Soul Tree, it is not difficult to understand why Soul Tree deceived me to come and help him deal with this trouble. If someone waits at your doorstep every day, he will rob a part of it as soon as you get your salary home. Do you think you may be polite to such a person? Before, it was because Soul Tree could not move at all, so there was no way to kill this guy, but now it is different. My appearance gave Soul Tree an extra choice.

"Hey, are you really not polite to me?" After taking that guy back to the Soul Tree, I threw him directly beside the Soul Tree. "If you want me to help you solve this guy, please ask me directly. Why do you have to lie to me?"

"Although I want to use your abilities, I haven't lie to you." The Soul Tree said without any guilt: "I told you that this guy is very interesting, and that's not lying to you. I just didn't tell you that I have a grudge against him. In fact, he is indeed a very interesting guy."

"Looking at his dead face that has been half rotten, I don't think it's fun."

"He's fun here, it's fun." The Soul Tree said: "Do you know what he looked like in the beginning?"

I shook my head and said, "How can I know this? Why? Didn't he look like this before?"

"Of course not, because this guy used to be just a puppy."

"You mean to mock him as a dog, or...?"

"No, it means literally. He was originally the soul of a puppy when he was attracted by me, but for some reason why he began to develop into a human form after devouring so many souls. In the end, even his main consciousness became confused, and he actually thought he was an individual."

I finally became a little interested in this guy on the ground after hearing what the Soul Tree said. It was already a bit strange that a dog's soul evolved into a human form, but the other party could completely copy a complete human memory, and he had not discovered it yet, and actually regarded the copied consciousness as his own consciousness. This situation was really strange. According to the saying that the soul should have a clear sense of the concept of self, just like a mother that it is difficult for her children to make mistakes. It is difficult for everyone or every creature to confuse their will with other absorbed wills, because once this happens, it means the disappearance of the self. This kind of devouring is more appropriate than devouring. However, the situation of this guy seems to be a little different.

If he regards himself as him just because he absorbs the consciousness of a certain guy and has a complete consciousness, it would be a bit good to say that his memory seems not to be replaced, but to be integrated. Although he thinks he is a human, his memory has the memory of when he is still a dog, but his dog identity is automatically replaced by human image in his memory, and this is exactly what I care about.

It is possible to use a memory to perfectly replace the other party's memory and make the other party believe that it is the fact. What a terrible ability? If we can separate from this guy's accident and reproduce this process of memory fusion, then we may even make some modifications to the memories of some people. Of course, even if this technology is created, it can only be used on NPC. After all, the player's will is protected by the system, and the system will not allow any group or individual to directly harm the player's consciousness in any way. However, even if this technology can only be used on NPC after separation, it will be an unimaginable technology. At least it will be much easier for us to pull a certain gods into the group in the future. It is best to pull the other party into the group first, and the other party agrees. If you don't agree, use this technology to modify the other party's memory so that he thinks he has agreed. In this way, our guild's team should be able to grow rapidly.

Seeing that I finally understood the key, the Soul Tree suddenly asked, "How is it? Is this guy very interesting?"

I nodded helplessly and said, "It's really interesting, even if I didn't help you in vain this time." After saying this guy, I said to the Soul Tree again: "Okay, I've helped you with your troubles. Have you done our mission?"

The Soul Tree directly handed back the seedlings of the World Tree to me and said, "It's already done, just give it to the Mother of Earth. Oh, by the way, according to the rules, I have to give you some rewards, let me think about what I can give you." After a shaking, the Soul Tree suddenly stretched out a vine and rolled it towards me and said, "It's you little guy." The vine with blue light passed through my body like an illusion and rolled a white phantom out of me.

"Master?" The Phantom was a little panicked by the Phantom who was forced out of my body. It was obvious that this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. If it weren't for the previous situation that seemed to be no threat, I guess Phantom would have launched an attack and started to fight back.

Because I knew that the Soul Tree could not attack us, I immediately signaled him to relax after the Phantom asked. After receiving the order, he immediately felt what the Soul Tree was doing to him. I saw a bright blue aperture suddenly appear at the root of the vine that was rolling him. Then the aperture quickly moved along the vine to the tip. After reaching the end of the vine, the light directly injected into the phantom's body.

As the first aperture flashed, the second and third apertures began to appear and disappear one after another. Later, the apertures began to become denser and denser. They were all quickly indoctrinated into the Phantom's body, and the Phantom became brighter and brighter. Finally, it turned from a translucent state like a fog to an image that emitted blue light like a crystal.

"Is this...?"
