Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 1267 - 178: Divine Tree and Fruit

Capítulo 1267: Chapter 178: Divine Tree and Fruit

After donning the black cloak, Tang Qi gazed intently at the planet descending upon them.

His body plunged like a meteor, yet his gaze remained focused.

Initially, when Tang Qi was thrown here, he clearly saw it was a “Blue Planet,” with almost half of its surface covered by the ocean, and only about one-tenth was land, forming a cohesive, lush block, exuding a strong aura of life.

But now, as he gradually fell, Tang Qi saw the planet’s true face.

The ocean was still blue, but beneath the surging waves, a large quantity of liquid as red as blood permeated, constantly spreading, emanating the familiar aura of death and coldness.

A multitude of life forms were polluted, mutated, and parasitized.

In the distance, the land seemed even more severe; even though separated by a great distance, Tang Qi sensed the strong, cold, putrid odor.

“Is that God of Flesh, Fruit Flies, and Death breaking free? Is the seal loosening, causing the invasion of Nieldland Star?”

As the thought flashed, Tang Qi, as an investigator, was already plunging toward the gradually crimson ocean.

A moment later, the seaside, occasionally touched by crimson waves, suddenly resounded with a “rumbling” sound, mixed with waves of polluted life being abruptly parted.

A clean path appeared, and a human figure cloaked in black walked slowly upward.

Tang Qi stood on the shore, surrounded by creatures like black crabs with deformed giant pincers, rotting octopuses full of eyeballs, pale sharks with limbs and more than one head… originally, these creatures appeared mad and highly aggressive.

But at this moment, they all obediently avoided Tang Qi.

Without pausing long, Tang Qi discerned the direction, and his gaze directly swept toward a faintly visible special city in the distance.

It had two parts, one on the ground, and the other floating in the air.

The ground part appeared filled with magical mythological aura, with giant tree vines and mottled palaces everywhere.

The floating part was a war fortress brimming with mechanical technology aura; even separated by a great distance, those dense cold turrets could be seen.

The two entirely different, even opposite creations, combined into an extraordinarily captivating exotic city.

Such cities were scattered across the entire continent.

In Tang Qi’s mind, there was the data an investigator should have, plus the All-Knowing had seen much during the fall.

“Nieldlan Civilization, though unable to compare with some divine species’ civilizations in the endless mystery, they indeed skillfully combined magic and machinery.”

“The Ninth Child of the Abyss Ancestor God’s limbs were sealed on Nieldland Star for nearly ten thousand years, never showing signs of escaping.”

“But now, an accident happened, and the Nieldlan Civilization faced erosion.”

Thoughts flashing, Tang Qi stepped forward.

If he wished, he could instantly teleport to the nearest city.

But instead, Tang Qi appeared the next second in a terrifying forest still far from the city.

Because Tang Qi concealed all divine aura, even the power inherent in the body, appearing as an ordinary human.

The next moment, this lush ancient forest, dark, humid, and blood-scented, suddenly entered a “stress” state.

Within Tang Qi’s gaze, this scene was reflected:

Towering ancient trees originally normal suddenly shed their old, cracked bark like molting, revealing the true writhing flesh beneath.

Something like vine blood sausages hung down, with ends laden with fragrant “fruits.”

Every fruit resembling a curled-up, eyes-closed baby.

“Huff”

An inexplicable wind blew through, the fruit swayed, the fragrance intensified further.

Everywhere in sight was an irresistible temptation.

Tang Qi watched them with a slightly grim expression, fragments bursting in his mind.

[Extraordinary Creatures: Blood God Tree.]

[State: Normal.]

[Information Fragment One: Exists solely as a special life form on Nieldland Star, born from when the God’s complete blood vessels were sealed on this planet, creating pollution with divine overflow.]

[Information Fragment Two: The Divine Tree grows rapidly, possessing secrecy, able to assimilate normal tree species, spreading across the entire Nieldland Star with great speed.]

[Information Fragment Three: The Divine Tree’s fruit attracts any flesh creatures, who indeed gain attribute enhancement after devouring the fruits, with no limit before Demigod Level.]

[Information Fragment Four: Nieldlan Civilization regularly clears these Divine Trees, incorporating “non-consumption of fruits” into law and adhering for ten thousand years.]

[Information Fragment Five: For some reason, the law has become ineffective.]

…

It’s easy to deduce from the fragments that these Divine Trees are the Evil God’s escape mechanism, Nieldlan Civilization held for ten thousand years but ultimately failed.

Now, as the civilization shows signs of being out of control, these Divine Trees might have already fully occupied the entire Nieldland Star.

Perhaps because Tang Qi wasn’t swayed, the swaying fruits abruptly detached from the vine, landing with a thud.

“Wow”

“Wah wah wah”

A horrifying sound occurred, as if tens of thousands of babies were crying simultaneously.

The sharp, piercing cries filled with terrible pollution, causing itching sensations from body to soul, making one desperately want to scratch and dismember oneself, feeling as if the head would split open.

If it were truly a normal human, no, even a Legendary Transcendent, they would be unable to fully resist the pollution while being there.

Eventually, they would choose to surrender, picking up the fruits from the ground like a wild dog and gnawing vigorously.

“Silence”

Under the black robe, Tang Qi spoke for the first time.

The crying disappeared in a blink, and all the fruits cracked at this moment, revealing densely packed, yellow-white fly eggs inside.

The Divine Tree began to wither one by one, while the fly eggs crossed several stages in an instant, hatching into adult insects.

If each adult insect were magnified, they would drive the observer into madness.

They are small but not covered by shells, directly baring dark red flesh, with hard hairs growing on it, relatively large eyes inlayed, and the front end is a mind-jolting long sting, their transparent membrane wings rapidly flapping, accelerating the spread of the terrible death pollution.

“Extraordinary Creatures: Blood Fruit Fly, a Fallen Life Form hatched from the ‘Blood Fruit’, they possess various pollution and toxins, and have horrifying parasitic abilities.”

“They can cooperate with the Divine Tree to capture and use all life within perception as nourishment.”

“Snap”

Tang Qi was impatient with these Fallen Life Forms, not giving them the chance to initiate parasitism.

With a snap of the fingers, the billions of fruit flies that were just hatched, soaring up and enough to obscure the sky, were all erased.

“Therefore, the entire Nieldland Star is already a shell, all life on the land has been completely slaughtered.”

“Hmm, the Nierdelan people are still struggling.”

While whispering, Tang Qi moved away.

Half a second later, the nearest city.

Like something that exists only in myth and epic, towering walls, majestic and huge, full of traces of erosion by time and war.

There should have been guards at the gate, but Tang Qi saw only a pile of corpses upon arrival.

Lying on the ground, the Nierdelan people, whether male or female, had robust and nearly perfect bodies, dressed in armor and weapons combining the advantages of magic and technology.

Tang Qi could imagine that these people were excellent warriors when alive.

But now, they are just incomplete corpses.

Under Tang Qi’s gaze, the corpses still constantly swell up with fresh red meat tumors, which first show a grim face on the surface and then shatter to reveal familiar fly eggs inside.

As the corpses gradually dry up, the buzzing sound rises, small clusters of dark clouds ascend above each shriveled corpse.

Tang Qi did not interfere anymore, he stepped over them, entering the city’s interior.

The next second, Tang Qi saw the doomsday scene:

Corpses!

Incomplete, shriveled corpses everywhere, spilled solidified bloodstains, stench to the extreme of filth, blood fruit flies flying everywhere, almost obscuring the entire city.

Tang Qi could imagine that this city called “Saint Quidis” should have been solemn, awe-inspiring.

Now, this is hell.

Living?

They still exist, and quite a few, though it’s uncertain if they can still be called “human”.

The now familiar Blood God Tree has invaded this city in various ways, those writhing, sticky flesh trunks, those blood sausage vines that seem to be alive.

They grow on the city walls, in the seams of buildings, and even in residents’ homes…

They have decorated this originally mythic city in a terrifying, horrifying way.

Still alive, no, the Nierdelan people who can still move surround these Divine Trees.

They, like mad dogs, scramble for the fallen fruits and bury their heads in gnawing, juice splashing, all the fly eggs swallowed into their bellies, immediately bulging into meat tumors.

Tang Qi watched them, his gaze complex.

Although only briefly contacted, Tang Qi now also discerned that the Nierdelan civilization is completely an Order Good Camp.

Moreover, their race excels in producing warriors.

Regardless of male or female, the bodies are very strong, all are perfect warriors.

But now, they have fallen into a doomsday.

“Extraordinary Creatures: Blood Fly Puppet, they suffer from soul-level pollution, their essence undergoes irreversible change, actively becoming parasitic hosts for Blood Fruit Flies, aiding in the spread.”

“This is a tragedy, a tragedy that could have been avoided, but in the end, it happened.”

With the information fragments emerging in his mind, Tang Qi seemed to enter the role of an investigator, producing some doubts.

The Nierdelan civilization could guard here for ten thousand years, so these blood god trees and blood fruit flies should not have been able to harm them before, some special mutation occurred leading to this out of control?
