Chapter 1378 Those are useless ashes!

Sir Egwene raised his head, with the thumb-sized bottle floating in his hand, and shook his head:

"Purchasing information directly from the Flesh God Cult is indeed a very convenient and fast way in the dark world, but it is too expensive. After knowing that we are also squatting, the price of information has increased several times during this period, and the flesh and blood In order to prevent the real information from being betrayed by insiders, the picket team also posted false information everywhere, and we suffered losses. "

"So whether it is true or not needs to be carefully identified."

It can be said.

The transactions in the horizon were very chaotic, and the water was as muddy as a toilet.

Lin En held the monocle, held the bottle, and carefully looked at the black powder in the bottle. For some reason, he felt very familiar.

The next moment.

The powder panels appeared in front of Linn's eyes.

[The Curse of the Mother Tree of Desire]

【category】:? ? ?

[Introduction]: The diseased polymer produced on the body after the curse of the Mother Tree of Desire. The purpose is unknown.

For a moment, Linn narrowed his eyes.

"The pink powder of the mother tree?"

Sir Egwene glanced sideways and said, "Do you know him?"

Lin En adjusted his monocle, stared at the black powder, and said: "How should I put it? These things should be the substances that fell off after I removed the disease of the mother tree. Sir Egwene, do you remember? Before the curse, When I was in the city, I accidentally controlled the Mother Tree of Desire, and the flesh-and-blood ruler almost got bitten by the curse on her when he tried to plunder her. "

Sir Egwene's heart suddenly moved.

"Yeah, I remember, but why do they collect stuff like this?"

Lin En didn't speak, his eyes flickered as he looked at the black powdery polymers in his hands.

suddenly.

He asked: "Brother Egwene, do you think there is such a possibility? Assuming that this information is indeed correct and their original purpose was to collect this kind of thing, then the conflict they provoked between the Mechanicus and the Mother Tree of Desire Is this the purpose of war?"

Sir Egwene was startled, obviously not thinking as much as Linn thought.

Lin En narrowed his eyes and said: "Because they know that I am the only one in this world who can suppress the turmoil of the Mother Tree, and if the Mother Tree of Desire is forced to participate in the war, then it is impossible for me not to end up, because regardless of the emotional and rational aspects, From a perspective, in this special period, I definitely don’t want to lose an easily accessible source.”

"So is there such a possibility?"

"Could this be a trap set by them from the beginning, to provoke a war with the Mechanicus and force me to die, so that they can finally get this kind of thing from the recovery of the mother tree? What do you think?"

It can be said.

Lynn's association in this area has always maintained his average high level.

Just like he said.

In this dark world, he never minded speculating others with the greatest malice.

Sir Egwene frowned and said: "But there is an important question, that is, why do they collect such things? Do you think the value of such things allows them to accurately plan a war? Or, what can they have? Important use?”

Linn shook his head and said, "I don't know."

There is too little information.

He is not omnipotent. Any inference can only be based on sufficient information and assumptions. Inferences made out of nothing are meaningless.

"Anyway, this may be the direction of our investigation. No matter what their purpose is, it will definitely not be beneficial to us. The epidemic doctors and us are feuding, and the Flesh God Cult hates us even more. We have to Be careful, I will investigate."

Ser Egwene gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

Lin En adjusted his monocle, raised his head and said:

"Okay, I'll trouble you, Brother Ewen. I'll go back and see if I can get some information from the Mother Tree of Desire. After all, she is the person involved, and she may know more than we do."

"Remember! Just wait there obediently for me to pass by. There is no need to act without authorization. Do you understand?!"

"Don't worry! Don't you know me yet? Am I the kind of person who goes in with the left ear and comes out with the right ear?"

"Isn't it?"

"..."

…

Inside the Mother Tree of Desire.

Linn slowly opened his eyes and retreated from the field of vision.

"How about it?"

In the central pool, the natural girl was still soaking there quietly, apparently keeping her eyes closed, waiting for news from him.

"Have you contacted me? When will you send someone from Night City?"

Lin En climbed up from the ground, carefully raised his head and groped and rummaged around the tree trunks, and said:

"It will probably take some time. There is no way for people of your level to jump directly, but Sir Egwene is already on the way. When we get there, we can directly open the gate to go back."

There isn't much explanation.

Lin En looked to the left, touched to the right, opened the hole in the tree and reached in to take a look, lifted up the vines and groped inside.

The natural girl stared at him looking around and said:

"Does that mean we have to wait in this damn place for a long time? So what are you doing? Looking for food?"

Lin carefully held the magnified monocle and groped around.

"Of course I'm looking for something important."

He groped his way to the edge of the pool.

He looked the natural girl up and down. Goosebumps broke out all over her body as she looked at her, and she said warily:

"What's important?"

Lynn didn't answer him.

Think about it.

Then he turned his head instantly, pulled out the branches and leaves of the natural girl hanging on her chest, and took a curious look inside.

"..."

"╬!"

Bang--

【bite! The Mother Tree of Desire inflicts 100 points of whip damage to you. 】

【bite! Mother Tree of Desire’s favorability towards you -5】

Lin En was whipped by a vine whip and flew out.

The Mother Tree of Desire hugged her chest, raised her fists, looked at him with an evil look, and said:

"What? Miss your mother? Are you still hungry and want to come to my place to find something to eat?"

"..."

Linn got up from the ground, sat cross-legged on the ground with a red face and a heartbeat, adjusted his monocle, and asked seriously.

"Where are the scars on your body?"

The natural girl stared:

"What did you hit on your xp? I'm recovering now, and I'm not interested in playing some weird games with you. If you have anything to say, just say it."

When she said this, although Linn was indeed a little bit impatient, he restrained himself after thinking about it, and then told her all the information he had obtained from Sir Egwene in the horizon.

"You mean? My remains?"

The natural girl looked at him hesitantly.

Lin En sat cross-legged on the ground, holding her monocle, and said hesitantly:

"That's right, it's the diseased tissue that faded away after your curse was suppressed by me. Although the authenticity of the information is not yet certain, those epidemic doctors are most likely looking for those things. Do you really not understand? After all, it came from you. Things shed from the body.”

The natural girl looked at him, and then slowly stretched out her hand from the pool.

Crash--

The moment was accompanied by the twisting dance of countless vines.

A huge tree trunk surrounded by more than a dozen people squirmed in from the huge tree hole, and slowly stopped in front of them around the pool.

And Linn immediately noticed the ferocious black residue still remaining on the huge vine.

"What's the use?"

The natural girl rubbed her huge tree trunk and glanced:

"Besides making me go crazy with pain, I can't think of any other use. Can you make tea?"

It’s not impossible to make tea…

Linn walked over and stared at the remaining lesions on the branch, observing it carefully, but that was when he wanted to reach out and touch it.

Click——

The diseased tissue in front of him instantly became dry, and then seemed to be weathered, turning into a large amount of dust in an instant.

Linn suddenly raised his eyebrows.

The natural girl lay down, soaked in the pool, closed her eyes and said:

"Have you forgotten what you are? You are my antidote. These diseased tissues may be as scary to others as they are to me, but they will soon lose their activity in front of you, and generally after losing their activity... …”

Lin En squatted down and pinched the fallen powder solemnly.

The natural girl looked sideways and said:

"That's useless ashes."

…

No useful information was obtained from her.

She didn't understand it either, because although it was something that came from her body, it was the first time she had such a disease after being induced by Linn.

But Linn still felt something was wrong.

Because if it has really turned into useless "ashes", why do the epidemic doctors still collect it with great fanfare?

As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong.

Because no matter what, these things are shed from a root body, just like he can use the tissue of the root as medicine, then who knows whether the epidemic doctor has also researched and treated something that requires this kind of substance to react. Can you tell clearly?

You know, they are an organization that can study the Flesh Plague, a major killer weapon that specializes in restraining the Mechanicus.

The message stopped again.

But it's useless to think about this now. Their immediate task now is to return to Night City.

After settling down, it won't be too late to investigate those epidemic doctors.

In the next few days, while Lin En was casting his own Trinity Machine in the system space, he continued to debug the body of Silver Fantasy, and the Mother Tree of Desire continued to spread its roots deeper underground. , absorbing the nutrients of this earth at a deeper level.

Soon, when she took control of her own domain again, all the root-level auras were restrained. In her words, unless the hive was approaching at close range, it would be impossible for ordinary detectors to spy on their location.

then.

The fog spreads.

A dead area like a forbidden area soon formed here.

"Although most of my strength has not yet recovered, my root system has already taken control of the nearby area, at least within a thousand kilometers. If there is any disturbance, I can feel it immediately, but it is really here. If desolation takes root here, I’m afraid it will never recover in a lifetime.”

She ruffled her branches and leaves, soaking in her own pool like a queen, with her eyes closed.

And her curse takes the same form as the Titans.

The curse is both the source of their strength and torment at the same time.

It was fine before.

But since it was triggered by Lin En, if she didn't suppress it regularly, she would be infected by the disease again in a few months at most, and then she would go crazy.

But suppression is just suppression, there is no way to eliminate it.

Then she glanced.

"So you have been so serious recently? It seems that after the clown curse was suppressed by you, you seem to have restrained yourself a lot. If it was before, you might have already pounced on it."

She stretched out her wet toes and poked Lin En's back teasingly.

She drew circles on his back teasingly.
