Chapter 47 Exploration

This realization made Wang Changle frown, stop again, and carefully observe everything in front of him.
Only this time, whether it was because he had entered the temple through the corridor or something else, the root-like tentacles in the darkness did not invade again.
Therefore, Wang Changle decided to wait and see. After all, the current situation is more complicated and full of dangers.
While waiting for his injuries to be repaired and his magic points to be restored, he needed to think of corresponding countermeasures. In addition to using his 'sight' perception, he was also using the Heart of Life to carefully test.
Not long after, through the induction of the Heart of Life, Wang Changle did make a new discovery. Not all the strange trees here responded.
The weak mental fluctuations before seemed to only exist in those strange trees that were nearly a hundred feet tall, and such strange trees that were a hundred feet tall accounted for less than 20% of the entire tree group. This undoubtedly made
The danger value of the monster in front of me has been reduced a lot.
However, Wang Changle did not approach rashly, because under the influence of the 'Eye of Insight', he could clearly see that there were countless dead bones and corpses in the strange forest.
Most of them are Qiraji and kobolds, but there are also skeletons of humans, dwarves and crypt demons.
The most important thing is that these diverse skeleton groups still have a certain degree of freshness. It can be seen that the danger of these strange trees is not as low as the mental fluctuations show.
"Using 'perception misdirection' to lure them in, then forcing them in through tentacles, and finally preying on them, but it feels like there's something missing..."
After all, the danger these strange trees brought to him was far less intense than when he saw the pyramid temple.
In other words, there are other dangers hidden in this temple. Although he doesn't know what they are, he will not lower his vigilance.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Changle took off against the wind and flew towards the dome. He wanted to see if he could find out more about the situation from high altitude.
As he ascended into the air, not only did he suddenly have a panoramic view of the strange trees under his feet, these strange trees not only had the characteristics of plants, but also had physiological characteristics similar to animals.
The hole in the capsule on the top of the strange tree should be their mouthparts to be precise. The cracked mouthparts are filled with soft white stamen-like thorns, just like the soft thorns on a cat's tongue.
It's just that the soft thorns formed by the layers of 'stamens' are denser and sharper.
The bursts of neighing prayers are exactly the sound produced by the resonance of the cavity after thousands of soft thorns are intertwined with each other. It seems that this should be the unique language system of these strange trees.
As for the spiritual fluctuations that fill the air and contain this 'bewitchment' and 'temptation', they come from the ritual magic array formed by these strange trees.
Yes, these precisely positioned and orderly arranged strange tree lifeforms form a unique magic circle when viewed from a high altitude.
Although Wang Changle could not recognize the purpose of this huge ritual magic array, he could distinguish the "array pattern" of some combinations of "spiritual synchronization".
This kind of 'spiritual synchronization' energy circuit allows the subject and object in ritual magic to achieve unity in the spiritual frequency.
The whining sound of thousands of intertwined soft thorns, under the vibration of the same frequency of the spirit, can cause a qualitative change due to quantitative changes.
As long as it is supplemented by abilities such as 'spiritual assimilation' or 'spiritual bewitchment', it is possible to achieve spiritual induction and even control through the resonance of sound.
However, what puzzles Wang Changle is that these strange trees have lured so many lives into the pyramid without devouring them or showing any trace of sacrifices. What is the purpose of these strange trees?
The most important thing is that the 'Yellow Seal' brought him here and controlled him to go deep into the pyramid. For what purpose?
If Hastur, the King in Yellow, wants the life of Wang Changle, it is just a matter of thought. It can be completed in the original dream. There is no need for such trouble!
Therefore, since the King in Yellow has ‘arranged’ him here, there is either something that the King in Yellow needs, or it is an investment or a test for him?!
"Strange trees, pyramid temples, the King in Yellow and root-like tentacles, and hidden dangers, what did I miss..."
Wang Changle stroked the characters on the stone wall, and Lan couldn't help but murmur to himself. He could sense that there should be some connection between them, but he couldn't grasp the key at this time.
Wang Changle wandered around for more than an hour. Even though he had memorized all the runes on the stone wall, he still couldn't figure out the key, so he decided to continue exploring towards the dome.
"簌猌"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound above the dome. Wang Changle's sense of danger was suddenly aroused to the maximum, and the tingling sensation of the early warning belt spread all over his body.
"Hey, there is something here..."
He looked up and saw countless root-like tentacles suddenly descending from the dome, attacking from all directions like a majestic rain curtain. The number was more than 10 times that of the corridor.
Wang Changle's body flashed, his speed soared to the limit, and he fell towards the sea of ​​trees at an extremely fast speed.
But this time, these root-like tentacles did not stop chasing. Wang Changle just fell into the sea of ​​trees, and the sloping root-like tentacles were already hanging down.
"Hidden"
The bloody light flashed, and Wang Changle escaped into the shadows. With the instant acceleration, he reached the edge of the corridor first and escaped from the swarm of tentacles.
"Buzz"
The next moment, countless root-like tentacles skillfully passed through each strange tree, not only penetrating into the inner wall of its mouth, but also accurately inserting into all the corpses on the ground.
The fluorescent light on the tentacles moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was covered with bone meal. Whether it was a skeleton or a corpse, all the nutrients were sucked out in an instant.
Moreover, through the heart of life, Wang Changle sensed that the life fluctuations of dozens of hundred-foot strange trees also dissipated at the same time, making no sound.
Looking at the moment when the sea of ​​trees suddenly emptied, Wang Changle had a flash of inspiration, and all the messages were connected together, and everything became clear.
The purpose of this strange tree is indeed to use its neighing prayers to lure life forms in.
But it is not for self-hunting, but to satisfy the 'eating' of the beings above the dome. As long as enough creatures can be lured, these creatures can be turned into hoarded 'food'.
In this way, as long as there is sufficient food, they can protect themselves from being eaten!
Chapter completed!
