Chapter 1322: 1309. Soul contract
Chapter 1322 1309. Soul Contract
The cold and loathsome destructive aura completely calmed down, and the ghostly ant queen who was lying on the ground dying was also completely lying on the blood-stained grass, with only the sides of her ribs undulating slightly, as if she was breathing slowly.
A tree vine hangs from the top of Suldak's head, and there is actually a piece of tattered bark wrapped around it. There is no writing on this bark, only a faint breath of life. You can feel the bark with just a glance. How extraordinary, the whole bark is full of magic.
The bark scroll fell into Suldak's hands.
Suldak unfolded the bark scroll again, and then looked at the bark, and found that there were no texts of any kind inside, only some simple patterns like ancient murals. These patterns described this story, that is A stick figure of an ant kneeling in front of a tree and a human, the background of the scroll pattern looks like a dragon…
The ghost-striped red ants in the surrounding battlefield had completely stopped, and the red dragon Iser probably had no appetite for those ghost-striped drones, so he returned with some reluctance, and set off a gust of wind when he landed beside Suldak. .
Surdak then introduced such a soul contract to Iser. In the end, the Ghost Ant Queen almost pressed her forehead against the scroll, leaving behind a bright red blood contract.
The ghost-striped ant queen was lying flat, in front of the World Tree and Iser, as if she was being slaughtered.
"So, my dinner is gone?" The red dragon Iser looked at Suldak with a resentful face, and two flames spewed out from his nostrils from time to time.
Its abdomen swelled with a huge bulge, and it seemed that it had eaten a lot.
Suldak walked up to Iser's side, stretched out his hand and gently touched the dragon scale on the lower half of its neck that was closest to the ground, then turned to Iser's lowered head, and said:
"Obviously... keeping it is more useful!"
"But I also know that you have put in a lot of effort to catch it, Iser, and I will make it up to you." Suldak stood beside the red dragon Iser and shouted at it.
The red dragon looked at his body that was constantly lightening, and those dragon scales began to appear blurred, so he didn't say any more complaints, and directly said to Suldak in dragon language:
"You know, I don't have much time to stay here. Next time there is such a high-level prey, remember to call me in time... and next time I will definitely not be as easy to talk as this time. Will devour them without hesitation."
As he spoke, Iser opened his huge mouth again facing the dying body of the Ghost Ant Queen.
"I know, I will visit you in the secret room again in a few days, and I promise to prepare a big meal for you!" Suldak comforted Iser.
After Suldak promised to bring it some delicious food, Iser flapped his dragon wings twice happily, flew into the light door again, and disappeared together with the light door.
The red dragon Iser left the Bailin plane, and the huge burden in Suldak's spiritual sea of consciousness was slightly relieved.
But when he felt some sticky liquid coming out of his mouth and nose, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, only to find that a lot of blood gushed out from his mouth and nose, and it was accompanied by this intense dizziness...
…
The Queen Ant signed a soul contract with World Tree.
According to World Tree, the sign of the contract scroll by the Queen Ant represents that the entire ant tribe will become slaves of World Tree and Suldak forever, and there is also a mark of a sticky leaf on the forehead of the Ghost Queen Ant .
It's just that it was lying in a pool of blood on the grass, looking as if it might die at any time, and I don't know if it was deliberately pretending to be weak to show him, or if it was really hurt like that, no matter what, it was It is the tragic gesture of a loser.
Even those ghost-striped red ants stopped completely, waiting for the ruling of Suldak and World Tree.
Suldak found that the number of red ants in the entire ant clan is still extremely large. Nearly 60% of the entire red ant empire is composed of ghost-striped worker ants, and the army of the red ant empire is still appearing on the ground. Most of the ghost pattern worker ants are still hiding deep in the ant nest.
The total number of ghost-striped red ants is still in the millions.
Next, Suldak ordered Samira to notify the lord army over the cave to suspend the hunt for the ant tribe. Now these red ants are more like the ones he raised in the worm valley to Suldak. A group of cattle and sheep, even if they are slaughtered, there is no need to rush for a while...
Then Carrie Decker and Gullitem brought back from the battlefield the almost shattered bodies of Andrew and Wolf Knight Tiger.
From Suldak's point of view, the bodies of both of them are almost completely cold, but the blood in their bodies has not been completely coagulated, and there is no breathing or heartbeat. A huge blood hole was pulled out, and the broken spine made his body look extremely broken.
Suldak's holy light technique couldn't save them. Thinking of how Andrew had been following him with all his heart these past few years, Suldak saw him lying on the grass with blood on his face, so he sat down on his buttocks. Beside Andrew, he took out a white silk handkerchief and wiped his blood-stained face.
The Frostwolf Bonita on the side also crawled beside the wolf knight Tago, licking Tago's cheek with its long tongue, and let out a low whimper.
Suldak thought that he would pay some price for killing the ghost ant queen this time, but these prices made him a little unacceptable.
At this time, he suddenly had the desire to rush over, cut off the ghost pattern ant queen lying in a pool of blood with a sword, and then completely peeled off its dark golden devil skin. Those complete life magic patterns on its body made Su Erdak salivated.
Just when Suldak regretted not being able to kill the enemies for Andrew and Tago with his own hands, a tree vine hung down in front of Suldak again. Erdak's sea of spiritual consciousness, which is also the only means of connection between World Tree and Surdak.
"Don't worry about maintaining it, my friend, I have a way to help you recover these two companions, but before that, I need to ask you, are you willing to use such a precious opportunity on your two companions? ?” World Tree asked Suldak in the sea of spiritual knowledge.
"Of course I would..." Suldak replied without thinking.
"Well, Lord Suldak, you must remember that with my current ability, I can only help you once a year with this kind of treatment. These two times are because I promised to give you some compensation." The World Tree chattered and poured some thoughts into Suldak's mind, and at the same time condensed a drop full of life at the end of the tree vine.
One of the drops fell on Andrew's face, and the other fell on the empty chest of Wolf Knight Tiger.
…
After being introduced by World Tree, Suldak finally understood...
The reason why the World Tree signed a slave contract with the Ghost Ant Queen is entirely because the Ghost Pattern Red Ant is the main force to clean up the giant mushrooms in the Dark Insect Valley, so the World Tree cannot completely wipe out the ant clan in the Dark Insect Valley.
Giant mushrooms grow attached to the world tree, and the spores in the rotting trees are everywhere, which can never be cleaned up.
As long as there is rotten wood, there will be spore mushrooms. Because the mushrooms that grew on the old world tree were full of nutrients, they naturally formed giant mushrooms. These giant mushrooms can also be regarded as one of the biological chains that decompose rotten wood
Too many spores and giant mushrooms will accelerate the decay of the tree.
The ghost pattern red ants were also the guardian beasts of the older generation World Tree.
Unfortunately, after the ghost-striped ant queen possessed rudimentary wisdom and selfish thoughts, the old world tree was bitten and corrupted by the ghost-striped red ants and giant mushrooms, and finally fell down...
After obtaining the life essence of the World Tree, the Ghost Ant Clan abandoned the World Tree, and did not endow the World Tree seedlings with the most precious drop of the source of life, but sealed it in the stomach of the Ghost Queen Ant and prepared to digest it alone.
It's a pity that for thousands of years, the goblin ant queen has not been able to digest this source of life...
In the past thousands of years, the entire ant clan has been slowly degenerating.
While the giant mushroom spores have fallen in the world tree for nearly a thousand years, the mushroom spores have been extremely prosperous.
But when the nutrients in the roots of the World Tree were exhausted, the huge roots turned into rocky valleys, and the giant mushroom spores in the valleys absorbed enough nutrients and slowly shrank.
In the end, the giant mushroom forest can only cover the entire valley. Even so, the mushroom forest has become increasingly petrified in recent years, and there are fewer and fewer new mushrooms.
Today's giant mushrooms can no longer provide enough food for the red ants, so the red ants try to hunt outside the valley...
This food chain slowly shrank before it became what it is today.
