The latest website: As Leo has surveyed before, except for the main beams and columns of the underground palace, the buildings in the underground palace are barely intact, and other secondary walls, columns, etc. are all damaged in the previous war, especially the underground palace. Nearly 90% of the dome has been destroyed, and only a few stone walls that are glued to the rocks on the top of the cave are still intact.

It was also because of the damage of the dome that the things hidden in the dome were broken by a certain stone beam supporting it just now, and fell to the ground together, attracting Leo over.

I saw that the dropped object was a completely petrified heart tree. It was quite large in shape, about ten meters in length and two meters in diameter. It should be the core part of a big tree. Annual rings can be seen in the section, and many obvious traces of cutting with tools can be seen in the surrounding area.

If it was just an ordinary petrified heartwood, it would not attract too much attention from Leo. The reason why he was attracted here was entirely because he scanned the underground palace through the spiritual network after hearing the movement just now, but did not No abnormalities were found until he carefully analyzed the shape of the shattered zenith, the traces of bumps when objects fell, and the indentation of gravel and dust on the ground, and analyzed that there should be a column on the ground here. It caught Leo's attention, because the effect of this thing is very similar to the item that cut off his contact with Sylvia, maybe there is some connection between the two.

At the first sight of this petrified heartwood, Leo was certain that this thing was not a product of this world, but from another world, because in his perception, this thing seemed so incompatible with the whole world, It was as if a drop of oil had been dropped into a basin of clear water, even though the two were liquid, they were completely incompatible.

Leo didn't know which world this petrified heartwood came from, but he knew very well that this petrified heartwood should have come to this world when the non-human race was still living in the original continent, and it was built in this world. The inhuman race of the underground palace was obtained, and it is even possible that this underground palace was specially built to store this petrified heartwood.

Because from the ancient architecture of the world that Leo knew, the place where this petrified tree heartwood is stored is called the arch center in the classification of the entire underground palace structure. It is the most important part of ancient religious buildings and is specially used to store The special position of the god's real body.

The avatars stored here are not real avatars, but substitutes, because most of the ancient religions in this world are natural religions, worshiping some natural creatures, some are ferocious beasts, some are tall trees, and even There may also be some kind of ore, so in this kind of primitive natural religious buildings, in addition to placing an anthropomorphic statue in the building, the natural form of the worship object will also be placed in the center of the arch, such as a certain creature Skull, some unprocessed ore, etc., and this petrified heartwood should be the real body of the **** who is enshrined in this underground palace.

After such an analysis, Leo was also able to confirm that the petrified heartwood in front of him should not be the original form when the underground palace was built, and maybe even the magical effect of the heartwood is not the one he feels now.

It's very simple, if the heartwood tree didn't give the non-human race an extremely shocking appearance and ability, those non-human races would not spend so much manpower and material resources to build such a magnificent underground palace underground to enshrine this Root tree heartwood, so when the underground palace was built, this heartwood tree was probably not in a petrified state, but had a more eye-catching shape, and the power it possessed could also be felt and used by ordinary people.

However, after all, this heart tree is just a piece of residual wood without roots, branches and leaves. Even though it had extremely powerful power at the beginning, it couldn't withstand being released all the time. beyond perception.

This can be seen from the fact that when the non-human race who built the underground palace left the old continent and migrated to the new continent, they did not take out the heartwood from the arch of the underground palace. Obviously, the non-human race could not perceive the power of the heartwood at that time. , I don't even know what the purpose of building this underground palace is, so I abandoned this heart tree here.

In addition, Leo also felt that although the heartwood was abandoned here, its power had not disappeared, it was just that ordinary people could not perceive it, and the power of the heartwood may have played a role later, such as affecting The progress of the fallen tongue recovering from the injury, or the power to suppress the fallen tongue.

Before, when Leo listened to Vera and the others tell the whole process of fighting the Fallen Tongue, he felt a little strange, because at that time, the Fallen Tongue did not behave like the power that a high-ranking person in the abyss should have. Sylvie It was too easy for them to win, at least Leo knew that Sylvia still had several ultimate moves to turn the tables in desperation, and the Corrupted Tongue had already been defeated. The strength that the player should have is completely inconsistent.

The Fallen Tongue Tokatni is not good at strength among the upper races of the abyss. As long as the upper races of the abyss, such as the abyss dragon, are adults, they can have the strength comparable to any true **** in the world, which is almost equivalent to just completing evolution. Omega-level advanced life forms, but the fallen tongue Tokatni needs to experience several world sacrifices to the will of the abyss, and enters old age before he can possess the power of the true **** of the world.

However, the upper races of the abyss are the upper races of the abyss after all, no matter how weak the upper races of the abyss are, they basically have one or two special powers that are strong enough to counter the gods, just like the powers that Sylvia possessed to make a comeback. The upper races of the abyss who have been able to travel between different worlds will have a lot of means to save their lives. When facing desperation, they cannot win, but they can escape.

But from the battle process described by Vera and the others, Tokatni, the Corrupted Tongue, hadn't been able to escape until the moment it was wiped out, and there wasn't even a sign of being able to use any life-saving means, which was obviously contrary to common sense.

As for the unhealed injuries on Tokatni, the fallen tongue, this cannot be used to explain his poor performance at all, and his injuries are also very strange. They have not healed for so many years, and even affected his performance. The means of life-saving is also against common sense.

At that time, Leo had a lot of doubts about the performance of the Corrupted Tongue Tokatni, and also wondered whether the Corrupted Tongue had some backhand to deceive Vera and the others, so he took the initiative to come here for Vera Clear away the power of the abyss that remains here.

However, now that he saw the heartwood tree hidden in the vault of the underground palace and could not be sensed by any force, he felt that he might have found the reason why the power of the fallen tongue was abnormal and the injury had not healed for a long time. If so, then all his previous questions will be answered.

Because the petrified heartwood has the effect of affecting any extraordinary power, it cannot be detected by any means, which makes Leo not sure whether there are other mysterious powers hidden in the heartwood, and whether these powers are harmful to him , so even though he was interested in this thing, he didn't touch it directly.

After walking around the heart tree twice, he began to think about how to remove the heart tree without danger, transport it to a suitable place, and study it slowly.

For this reason, he specifically climbed to the center of the underground palace where the heartwood was stored, and wanted to see how the non-human aliens stored the heartwood in the past.

However, the result made him a little disappointed, because the place was very simple, just a container similar to a sarcophagus, there was nothing else worth noticing, and there were no supernatural powers or things.

Although he didn't find anything of value, he at least knew that he could use a stone as a container to store the petrified heartwood.

So he went directly to the underground palace, found a stone pillar in good shape, made a stone support sunken inward, and then dug a tunnel just enough to accommodate the heartwood next to the heartwood. Dig a **** and a passage at the bottom.

Although this is definitely a big project for ordinary people, it is very simple for Leo, and it only took less than an hour to complete.

After that, he put the stone support in the middle of the tunnel, that is, the middle of the heartwood, and then returned to the top, picked up a stone directly, and pushed the heartwood to the tunnel without touching the heartwood. Inside, it just fell into the groove of the stone support, stuck and no longer rolled over.

Seeing that the heart tree was stuck as expected, Leo entered the aisle at the bottom of the tunnel from the slopes at both ends, bent down and came under the stone support, and after choosing a suitable lifting position, he went He directly carried the stone support together with the heartwood on it, then walked out of the tunnel slowly, avoided some obstacles, entered the passage leading to the underground cave of the liaison office, and walked forward.

Fortunately, this tunnel is straight and there is no turning point, so Leo carried a ten-meter-long heartwood tree and walked smoothly. Bearing the weight transmitted by his feet, he had to use psionic skills to solidify the soil under his feet before he could walk over smoothly.

And when he was using psychic powers, Leo also discovered a characteristic of the heart tree, that is, it has a certain strengthening effect on psychic powers, although this kind of strengthening effect cannot qualitatively change the final effect of psychic skills , but to a certain extent reduced the consumption of psionic energy.

However, even after discovering this, Leo never thought about using this thing to make any kind of psionic power boosting device, because the strengthening effect of the heartwood seems to be only for psionic power, while any other kind of power, even stone The power breath of the throne will be disturbed by it, making these powers in an unstable state after being displayed, and this kind of interference does not need to be removed directly, it only needs to exist within its range. As for the extent of its range, Leo temporarily It's not clear, I can only speculate that it should be within a few meters of the heart tree.

Soon Leo returned to the cave where Sylvia was resting. He didn't intend to put things in the cave, but he wanted to bypass Sylvia and continue walking from the passage towards the warehouse of the liaison office above. go.

However, this idea quickly changed, because Leo found that when he was carrying the heart tree around Sylvia, the heart tree did not touch Sylvia, and it was only a short distance away from Sylvia. Several meters away, within the range of the disturbing effect of the heart tree, the chaotic breath of the abyss dragon on Sylvia's body began to calm down, and he could clearly see Sylvia's painful expression eased.

In order to verify his guess, Leo carried the heart tree and got closer to Sylvia. At this time, Sylvia's reaction became more obvious. The power of the abyss dragon that was out of control due to the skyrocketing in her body was obviously affected. This kind of influence is not considered suppression, but more like interference, which makes the solidified power of the abyss dragon loose.

After discovering this, Leo immediately had a new idea in his mind. He carried the heartwood to an open space not far from the cave, and then took out the sacrificial knife to cut the heartwood.

Although this petrified heartwood has a disturbing effect on any kind of power, this kind of interference is also strong and weak. Obviously, the power contained in the sacrificial knife can still maintain its proper effect when it is disturbed. Moreover, the sharp power of the sacrificial knife itself was not disturbed. When cutting the heartwood, it was still like cutting a model made of soft clay, and it was easily broken into dozens of pieces of different sizes.

As Leo expected in advance, even if the petrified heartwood is cut into pieces, the power contained in it will not be greatly affected, but the scope of action is slightly reduced, but this is not a big deal to Leo. question.

Afterwards ~lightnovelpub.net~ Leo lifted these fragments with stone supports and placed them near different positions of Sylvia's body, and then made several stone covers that would not affect its effect to prevent Sylvia from As Ya moved her body, her body touched these pieces of heartwood.

The locations where these heartwood fragments were placed were not randomly chosen by Leo. They were selected by Leo after sensing the abnormal situation in Sylvia's body. The power of the magic dragon was as solid as a rock, and Sylvia could only use water to grind it away little by little before she could completely digest the power of these out-of-control abyss dragons, and it would take a long time to do so.

Now, with the assistance of these petrified heartwoods that can affect the power of the abyssal dragon, the solidified power of the abyssal dragon has become looser, and Sylvia's conditioning and absorption of these powers has become much easier. Sylvia's painful expression that was about to subside completely could be seen. According to estimates, it would take less than five days at most, and Sylvia should be able to completely control the power of the abyss dragon in her body. By then, Leo would be Can cast a spell to seal its power and restore it to its original human form.

In order to avoid accidents, Leo did not leave the cave, but stayed beside Sylvia, taking care of her at all times.
