Chapter 552 The Big Tree Among the Settlements

  The journey took longer than expected, and William started another topic in the carriage, a topic that the driver could not directly disclose.

   "Do you have any guesses or conjectures about the "malignant disease" corresponding to the tenth abyss? "

  Facing this kind of question, Jin put his head in his hands and leaned back, "Isn't William your favorite thing that requires reasoning and analysis? I don't want to think about it, anyway, it doesn't have much to do with me."

  Although Jin refused to participate, the Lord Price, who was sitting across from him, looked serious.

   "Well... the abyssal influence explained by the coachman is related to copying, and it is copying the most prominent characteristics of the individual. If my memory is correct, the basic unit of the mask condensed on my face at that time was hair.

  I can clearly feel this touch when tearing off the mask, which is very similar to my hair, and even better in terms of 'grounding'.

  In addition, the hair re-engraved from the abyss can be condensed into an absolute whole. If I didn't use the moon spots to burn off a part of the mask to disrupt the whole, I couldn't tear it off with my strength alone. "

  "Replicating the most prominent characteristics of an individual, not only can it be perfectly replicated or even better in some aspects, but it also has integrity...Is it a special replicating virus?

  I don't know what kind of mask will appear on my "Condensed Face". "

  After a brief conversation, William already had a general direction, sat cross-legged, and focused on his own state.

   Those abyssal substances wandering in his body that were indulged by him have proliferated in large quantities during this period, and now they can be suppressed exactly as the coachman said.

  Forcing the abyss material to fail to replicate normally in the body, it is forced to flow out from the face to congeal the face.

   But...William didn't do that,

  Intuition told him not to restrict the abyss prematurely, and must indulge long enough to let these things know enough about his body.

   Even made a bolder move to lift the restriction of the 'umbilical cord' on the neck, allowing the abyssal matter to officially enter the brain area.

   Such an approach woke up Yi Chen who was sleeping in the aquarium. After all, the epileptic brain is the center of open source, and if something goes wrong, it may leave permanent sequelae.

  『William, you are getting crazy. ’Yi Chen’s voice came out.

"crazy? No... this can only be called a sane gamble at best, aren't we the duke's customers? It's normal to take a gamble.

  Besides, there is still the heavy insurance of the little grape in the head. If the abyss virus wants to attack the epilepsy virus, it only needs to light up the evil sun at the first time.

  According to my inference and feelings, the so-called "Noodle Condensation" is by no means as simple as what the coachman said, or the coachman deliberately reserved it to increase my failure rate.

   "Condensed Noodles" is not just a simple suppression. If the abyss content in the body is not enough, the final mask will inevitably be impure, and even the most basic form construction cannot be achieved.

  Since accepting the abyss, you must accept it to the end, and you are reluctant to sacrifice your body, so why talk about pilgrimage?

  That's why I made this kind of gamble, using the flesh as a sacrifice and also as a container to breed the abyssal substances to the greatest extent...especially the torso representing [new life] is definitely an excellent place to nourish abyssal pathogens.

   Wait until the abyssal pathogen in my body replicates and grows to the maximum, that is the best time to congeal. 』

  『William, you are getting better and better, call me again when it is critical. 』

  …

  【Abysmer Settlement】

   Centered on a strange big tree that transcends conventional concepts, a large number of bungalows are built around it.

  A large number of black candles are scattered among the settlements. It can be said that there is one candle in each bungalow.

  Using dark light to illuminate the appearance and structure of the entire village, tens of thousands of intricate bungalows almost form a maze structure, and to reach the big tree area in the center, you have to bypass the lengthy bungalow area.

  The carriage stopped at an entrance outside the settlement.

  William also saw the big tree in the center of the settlement at a glance,

"people?"

  The big tree in William's eyes is more like a fat giant with bark all over the body. It can be clearly seen that a distorted head grows on the top.

  Six pairs of thymus structures hang in the middle of the trunk, constantly flowing out pathogenic juice.

  The branch is the extended version of the arm, and the arm has been copied a lot, showing a flourishing shape of luxuriant branches and leaves, blossoming and bearing fruit.

   It's just that the fruit on it is not the tree itself, but artificially hung up.

Those 'treasure hunters' who come to the darkest place to explore, as long as they don't choose to accept the abyss, the final result is to hang on it, and the 'rope' wrapped around the neck of the corpse is the capillary between the arms, which supplements the tree. Nutrition.

  The driver also explained simply:

   "The guardian of the abyss - the black treant. Lord Karimus, he is the most powerful visitor in history. He not only completed the final pilgrimage, but even had a long communication with the abyss.

   According to rumors, he took the initiative to choose to serve the abyss and become the guardian, and the [Road to Pilgrimage] is right under him..."

   "Sure enough, it was transformed by the sick."

   "I wish you good luck, outsider~ I hope you can go far enough and even complete the final pilgrimage, so that my commission will be high enough.

  By the way, it is highly recommended that your friends not set foot in the settlement. If they do not accept the abyss, they will be regarded as "intruders" once they enter the abyss.

   And Lord Karimus is by no means easy to mess with.

  Farewell, brave outsider. "

  As the coachman left, William and the others stopped at the gate of the settlement.

   "Okay, let's say goodbye here, thank you for accompanying me here.

  If you still can’t see me after the end of the exploration, or if you need to evacuate in case of a crisis, go directly to Rat City and wait for me.

   If you wait too long, go about your own business.

  I will definitely get out of the abyss, but I can't estimate how long it will take. "

   Thirteen's small hands kept rubbing in front of her face, but just as she was about to say something, she was pulled away by Jin's arm.

"Okay, let's go! Don't chatter here, and don't bother William...Right, William~ I can see that you can't wait to go to the depths, stop suppressing and pretending, and go quickly Deep down.

  If you die here, I will look down on you. "

"Okay, I will try not to die." William made a gentleman's salute to Jin and looked at the Lord of the Mouse City, "Mr. Price, let's wait until I come out to discuss our agreement, and you must follow me." Head to 'the place' for the best food in the whole Old World."

"Um."

  William didn't stop, turned his back and waved goodbye to everyone, and stepped into this Yuanmin settlement alone.

  From the very first walk, to the jogging, and then to the final sprint... As Kim said, he couldn't wait! Now that the existence of the tenth abyss has been verified, and the road and method leading to the tenth abyss have been determined, all that remains is to finish the journey.

  He is eager to see what his [path] hidden in the abyss is like, and he is eager to reach a higher level and return to Zion.

   Ignoring the unnamed Abyssalians around him, William quickly circled to the center, in front of the guardian of the abyss - the black treant, Lord Karimus.

  A large number of Yuan people are kneeling in the [Big Tree Square] praying in the abyss, trying to complete the "condensation" under the tree.

  William found an empty area in the outermost circle, sat down on the ground, and joined it...
