Chapter 671: Where Did the Heart Go?
"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Yi Huan showed an expression that was more surprised than him, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't my heart here?" ”
Lucifer obviously didn't have time to answer Yi Huan's question, Bo Bo's blood flowed down the wound in Yi Huan's chest, even if the wizard had some way to save his life from dying immediately, Yi Huan's vitality was still passing quickly.
And at this time, there is a more important question in front of Lucifer, that is, whether he wants to control Yi Huan or kill him, the most critical thing, Yi Huan's heart, is gone.
Lucifer's dagger did not feel the slightest life force in Yi Huan's chest, and after his hand touched his chest, it was also empty, whether it was in the sense of energy or physics, Yi Huan's heart completely disappeared from his chest.
There is no reason, and it seems to have been prepared for a long time.
But Yi Huan will not accompany Lucifer in a daze, even if Lucifer can't think about it, he doesn't want to die, Yi Huan was pierced by Lucifer's dagger The part suddenly twisted slightly, as if it was stretched by the haha mirror, and then separated from the dagger's attack.
A Transfiguration Charm that allows Makeover to change any part of his body at will, using it to dodge attacks, or twist himself into a strange shape to scare Winnie.
Seriously, it's scary for a human to distort their appearance and scare them.
But at this time, Yi Huan obviously used this method to avoid Lucifer's deadly attack, only to see that in the process of Yi Huan's figure quickly fleeing backwards, the surrounding items jumped away as if they had seen something terrible, so that Yi Huan smoothly and quickly opened the distance from Lucifer.
The easy hustle and bustle that successfully retreated some distance stood firm. His complexion was unusually pale.
This is not surprising either. After all, he still has a big hole in his chest. A waterfall-like stream of blood flowed out, and a few muscles or veins-like things tumbled on the outside of the hustle wound.
If it weren't for Yi Huan's frequent drinking of some reserve healing potions over the years, just in case, I'm afraid that the excessive blood loss at this time would have made him unconscious and die.
Yi Huan under the wizard's robes...... At this time, he pulled left and right in the armor, and then suddenly pulled out an organ the size of a heart-shaped fist, which looked bloody, not only weird, but also extremely bloody and hideous.
Lucifer's eyes, which had not moved, suddenly lit up, and he seemed to have a new impetus. However, Yi Huan obviously understood what he had in mind when he saw him, so he directly punctured his hope again without mercy.
"Looks ...... Your plan isn't going well. Yi Huan said vaguely, because as he spoke, he gulped on this heart-shaped organ.
Plasma-like juice splattered out and sprayed on Yi Huan's mouth, covering his face, neck, forehead, and even the corners of his eyes, with every bite he chewed, large strands of blood splattered out. Leaving a large mist of blood in the air.
However, as Yi Huan swallowed it up, the wound on his chest was also healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even within a moment of eating half of his heart, the wound had healed most of it.
Looking at Lucifer who was in a daze, Yi Huan suddenly realized that he was pretending, "Oh, you don't think this is my heart, don't say he's not, even if it is, I won't be stupid enough to take it out." ”
This is indeed not Yi Huan's heart, because even if Yi Huan needs to transplant his heart back, he probably won't choose to eat it in such a strange way, this is a creature on Neverland.
Some kind of plant, to be exact.
Neverland is a very large island, of course, this is only relative to the two of them, but as the core of all the sub-worlds of the second world, except for Yi Huan, who is the manager, and Winnie, who came with him, no outsiders have ever entered here.
Only some magical creatures from different worlds, because of their own magical power, often encounter cracks and turbulence in the inner world and get lost in Neverland.
Not all magical creatures were created by the second world using fantasy energy, and many of them were originally real, that is, they themselves lived in the original world, and existed a little earlier than the second world.
At the time of the destruction of the last era, many magical creatures who stood on the side of human beings also chose to enter the second world and live in the second world, which is also the origin of most magical creatures in the second world.
Because of their own authenticity, their magic is very strong, because their magic is real, although the second world can also be simulated, but after all, it is only cultivated, and these magical creatures are also a good reference for the second world to cultivate and activate the wizard power in the human body.
So they encounter the turbulence of the inner world in the second world far more than humans.
However, in addition to encountering them, Neverland occasionally has a lot of strange things mixed in, such as ...... Corpse.
That's right, it's a corpse, Yi Huan still remembers the first time he encountered a corpse, it was very early, maybe in the first year he came to Neverland, at that time, he was startled, thinking that other people would also enter Neverland, and immediately worried about Winnie's comfort, because Winnie was not very old at that time, even if she learned swordsmanship with Green for a while, she was still a little girl.
But soon Yi Huan found out that they were all corpses, to be precise...... He was dead before he came to Neverland.
There are men and women, people from all eras, different clothes and shapes, and there is no fixed age, but fortunately, although Neverland often moves corpses back, there are not many of them, there may only be a few in a year, otherwise Neverland will become an island of corpses.
Yi Huan didn't know what these guys had in common, but he suspected that it might be an existence that would destroy some kind of balance in the second world, so the second world found some way to kill them, after all, the second world is conscious, in a sense, it is Gaia, and it is estimated that the children of the world also exist.
And Yi Huan will accept the mission of Neverland now, and each world will collect the world's energy.
However, although there are not many corpses, Yi Huan is still a little bored to look at. After all, Neverland isn't big. Winnie, running around, might one day fall on a corpse in the forest. Although corpses were not new to Winnie, who lived in the seventeenth century, they were definitely a childhood nightmare.
So after Neverland once again showed a strange crack, like a flush toilet vomiting and still returning the corpse to the restaurant of the Red Castle, Yi Huan finally couldn't help but start looking for the setting of the corpse's location in the hourglass.
Fortunately, he was lucky, and soon threw the corpses to the bottom of the high cliff, that is, in the canyon and in the black cliff of the Black Valley.
And when Yi Huan went to inspect where after a while. But I found a strange phenomenon.
That's when these people come back to life.
To be exact...... Parasitized.
There are no living creatures in the Black Cliffs, and even if there are, most of them are dark creatures and creatures with negative energy, but there are trees in the Black Valley, and plants are always very tenacious and can grow anywhere.
However, even the plants that grow in the Black Valley are not normal, except for a few strange appearances that have withered for countless years and are still half dead, and Yi Huan wonders why they are not dead, most of them are man-eating plants, of course, there is no one on Neverland. That's why they hunt animals that are also magical creatures.
And the one who occupies these corpses is one of them.
They parasitize on the corpses of these people. Control them, and drive them.
This creature looks like a tree, but it is definitely not a tree, because trees have branches, and those branches are their torsos, and they support them, deliver nutrients, and make the trees lush and strong.
But they don't, they have branches and leaves all over their bodies, they don't have a torso, they look like a hedge together, and they don't know how they usually grow.
These plants can stretch out because each branch and leaf is connected, and when fully unfolded, they can even surround the Black Valley, which is how they attack, because these branches are far less fragile and hard than they seem, but very resilient.
However, when they were entrenched on these corpses, they apparently changed their methods again, they took root in the ground, and wrapped the corpses inside, exposing only their faces and limbs, and their torsos and arms were encased in dense black foliage, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
And with the addition of human corpses, they are obviously much more flexible, and when Yi Huan first captures them, they even pull themselves out of the dirt and run away.
A human corpse that has been dead for a long time without a soul is useless, but it is obviously completely different to become a new type of magical creature, Yi Huan immediately began to study them, but because of the small number, the research has not been smooth, but even so, Yi Huan found a lot of interesting things.
Like what...... They have a very majestic and abundant vitality.
I have to say that nature is very magical, whether it is normal nature or the nature of the magical world, when the corpse is combined with scavenging plants, it actually gives birth to a life force that represents a new life.
In particular, the heart, which is the core of the corpse, has a greater life force.
The corpse was no longer a corpse, but had been transformed into a succulent plant, and his heart had not only not smelled of decay and deterioration, but had instead changed from flesh to a fruit-like existence.
Otherwise, Yi Huan would not have eaten so happily.
Although the appearance is still terrifying, the plasma is just the juice of plants, not real blood, otherwise it would not have been kept for so long after being removed, although the smell and appearance are still very scary, and the taste is not very good, well, it is not chicken.
However, it has quite good healing properties, and it can be seen from the wounds that Yi Huan has recovered at this time, and its disadvantages are nothing compared to this.
Yi Huan does like to store things in the shadow, because it is not only safe, but also very convenient, but after all, the shadow also belongs to a kind of space magic, and it must be considered what to do once the space is imprisoned and even the things can't be taken out.
Therefore, most of Yi Huan's tools and healing potions were still carried with him, and his magic level was completely sufficient to cast a traceless stretching spell that no one could invade and enter.
And this healing heart is one of the magic potions that Yi Huan carries.
When compared to Yi Huan, Lucifer is obviously not so indifferent. Although his face was still calm. But if you look closely, you can still see a hint of ugliness. His voice was hoarse, "That'...... What about your heart. "It's not in your chest." ”
"Maybe I have some special hidden trick and pulled it out in advance, just to prevent people like you."
"It can't be!" Lucifer finally responded with some excitement, and he hissed, "I don't see any memories of this in your mind. ”
"Oh...... Turns out you can observe my memory. Yi Huan nodded a little clearly, his face was still very calm. No wonder you can figure out where I am after I am invisible and transformed, so that you can avoid my attacks in advance. ”
"But I don't think I can read the memories of too long ago, it's strange, when did you start observing me?"
Although Yi Huan said this, he had already raised his vigilance to the highest level in his heart, and he had also practiced the Occlumency Technique, but according to Lucifer's words at this time, it was obvious that he had briefly inquired about the memory he needed through some method, and his Occlumency Technique did not respond at all.
Demons are really nasty creatures, even if they don't have a heart. But this uphill battle is probably not over yet.
Lucifer didn't answer, but the hustle and bustle didn't stop. "You've been fighting wizards for so long, don't you know one thing, wizards have many ways to make themselves forget important things, even if they have forgotten themselves."
"I'm sorry...... Probably I forgot. ”
"But I have a little guess right now." Yi Huan sighed and said, "It should be after the first time you summoned the werewolf demon, I had a little bit wrong. ”
"Although the soul is still there, my emotions are no longer there, otherwise I would not have made the indifferent decision to send all the Unsullied to death in Storm's End, it turned out that I had already pulled out my own heart."
"Every one of your traps seems to give me a little emotional turmoil, it's strange why you care about my soul, of course, in your words, to keep my heart alive somewhat, but now it's the biggest flaw you've left behind, and I'm not mistaken."
"I don't know when the memory was lost, but it's not a hassle to get it back, but you don't seem to have noticed the abnormality of my missing heart during this time." Yi Huan stared at Lucifer, "It's not your fault, although you are a demon, you still have feelings, and how can a person with feelings understand a soulless person like me." ”
"Even from my daily performance, I can see that my missing soul or heart is missing, although it is strange why my feelings disappeared for no reason, but I still pretend to be very similar, after all, this is how I used to live, the only difference is that I do not feel warmth again, but ...... I seem to have lied to you. ”
"It's fun...... It seems that I don't remember anything, but I still perfectly completed the plan I once set, and it seems that I still have a lot of talent as an actor. Yi Huan smiled and looked at Lucifer with a slight smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, "Now, my heart is gone, and the biggest threat is gone, and it seems that I have pulled back a game." ”
"Of course, you're still immortal, but what else do you have?" Yi Huan sneered, "I don't believe that your immortal ability is unlimited, because I am also an immortal, and I have time to spend it with you and see who will die in the end." ”
I have to say that self-confidence is indeed a very powerful force, and after Yi Huan solved Lucifer's biggest threat to himself, although the situation did not change much, he still had the ** to continue fighting, because as he said, even if the space created by this dagger was prepared for two Eternals, there would still be a limit.
It's just that this limit will be very long, but the last thing that Yi Huan lacks is time, in the face of Lucifer's immortal advantage, use his own magic to make up for it, anyway, Lucifer has lost the biggest threat, what he needs to do is to continue to consume him.
Lucifer, who was not far away, was silent for a while, and said softly, "You're right, I was negligent, but in order to avoid the disadvantages being infinitely magnified, I won't play with you." ”
He raised his head to look at Yi Huan, revealing a weird smile, "The rest of the things...... Don't want to know, because I'll take them with me and go back to hell. (To be continued.) )
