Chapter 87 Time is poisonous
Time passes?
Neither Du Wei nor Hussein expected that near the fountain of youth and immortality, there was another spring water.
Medusa still looked cold and indifferent, and she led the two out of the hall and looked into the depths of the palace.
"This palace of yours is all made of the body of the Tree Terrans... Built?
On the way, Du Wei asked seemingly casually.
"Yes." Medusa suddenly stopped and asked Du Wei: "Is there a problem?"
This time it was Hussein who spoke: "Don't you think this is a bit too cruel?" Although you and the Tree Terrans are enemies, at least respect the corpse of the enemy.
Medusa savored the sentence carefully, and then asked Du Wei: "Is this also human nature?"
Du Wei smiled: "Sort of."
"But I don't understand." Medusa's words are flat: "I can't understand this 'human nature'. I've heard Gegewitch say a lot about human behavior. You humans kill beasts, eat their flesh, peel off their fur and make clothes and makeup... Why do you humans say things like 'respect corpses' while doing these things? Is there a fundamental difference between me bringing the bodies of tree men to build houses and you humans killing wild beasts to eat their flesh and wear their skins?
Maybe Medusa doesn't understand human nature, or maybe she doesn't understand anything. But such a simple question made the erudite Du Wei and the experienced knight speechless.
Oh, yes... Is there a difference?
Medusa thought about it carefully, and then smiled gently: "It seems." I have summed up the characteristics of human nature, which is... Hypocrisy. Do humans always say one thing and do another?
Du Wei was smiling bitterly, he didn't know how to answer Medusa, so he could only sigh: "Sometimes... Yes.
"I don't like this trait in human nature, and I don't like humans." Medusa summed up, then ended the conversation and continued to walk forward with the two of them.
Outside the main hall, walk through a corridor. Medusa pushed open a small door at the end, this is a black house, walking into the house, Du Wei felt a gloomy cold breath coming ... This is different from the cold in the ice and snow outside, as if there is a wet, gloomy cool air, which can penetrate people's clothes and through people's skin pores. It even penetrated the bones of people and pierced all the way into people's internal organs!
That kind of cold aura shrouded his body, and Du Wei immediately felt that his whole body was cold, and his whole body seemed to be gently pierced by countless sharp needles, for a while. Almost even the fingers are frozen!
"This is it."
In the darkness, Medusa walked as usual, as if she was born without eyes.
"I usually sleep here, this is my bedroom." Medusa pointed to a stone slab on the ground: "Time passes. Right below.
"Sleeping here... Aren't you cold..." As soon as Du Wei said this, he stopped, and he suddenly remembered that snakes are cold-blooded animals.
Lifting the stone slab, Du Wei saw a large spring below, and the water in the spring flashed, and in this dark room, the spring water seemed to glow automatically. But this is the spring. After lifting the stone slab, Du Wei immediately felt the cold feeling in the air, which instantly increased tenfold!
"What kind of water is this... How is it so cold! But it doesn't freeze? Du Wei couldn't help but tremble a little, and his teeth began to fight.
Without thinking about it, Du Wei was worried that he would freeze in this situation, so he quickly twisted his body in place a few times, did a set of starry sky fighting ground basic movements that Hussein taught him, and felt the heat in his body float up. It only slightly dispelled a little bit of cold.
But Du Wei still found out. Even the face of the Hussein knight seemed to be covered with a faint layer. A thin white frost! That cold breath instantly froze the sweat on the knight's face!
"I only discovered this spring after I came here, and the tree people didn't know it existed." Medusa said lightly.
"The tree people don't know..." Du Wei sighed: "This spring water is strange at first glance, it... Is there anything special?
Medusa didn't say anything, she smiled, and then said lightly: "That black thing on your body is worn on your eyes to deal with me, right?" Now, you better wear it.
Du Wei smiled sarcastically, pulled Hussein a little, and then put on his sunglasses.
Medusa gently twisted one of her hair in her palm, her palm was flat, and she whispered a few strange syllables in her mouth, and the hair automatically twisted twice in the palm of her hand, and then quickly, transformed into a snake about the thickness of her thumb!
This snake is all over the golden color, each scale seems to be made of gold, the body twisted a few times, quickly coiled, and then raised its head and made a sizzling sound. It's just that the young snake's eyes are not open.
"This is a young snake of a golden-eyed python. It takes decades for the golden-eyed python to grow to the thickness of a person's waist. But..." said Medusa, she slowly reached out and took a handful of water in the spring water, carefully feeding it into the mouth of the golden-eyed python...
A miracle happened at this moment!
Medusa gently placed the snake on the ground, then took a step back...
Immediately, under the gaze of Du Wei and Hussein's naked eyes, the snake's body suddenly swelled! Its scales kept growing, and its body quickly changed from the thickness of its thumb to the thickness of a tree trunk! The body is getting longer! And the eyes that were originally closed finally opened!
After the sunglasses, Du Wei could still see the snake's eyes, releasing a weird, golden light! Under this kind of look, Du Wei only glanced at the golden-eyed python, as if he felt a slight pain in his eyes. Immediately turn your head!
Fortunately, there are sunglasses made of black crystal to protect him, otherwise, Du Wei suspects that he has turned into stone.
Next, the snake began to roll, as if it was in pain, its body twisted, twisted again, and finally made a subtle sound of snorting...
It. It's actually molting!!!!
Once molted, a nearly complete snakeskin was left on the ground, and the snakeskin shining with golden light was at Du Wei's feet, and the snake continued to grow! In the end, its body almost squeezed Du Wei and the others into a corner! In such a black room, the body of this snake occupies almost half of it!
After that, in Du Wei's heart, in about a few minutes, the snake molted three more times!
And then... It starts to age!
The huge body began to weaken. The body of the snake, which was originally full of elasticity and strength, gradually dried up, and even the golden light on its scales dimmed down, and little by little, its strength became smaller and smaller. In the end, they were coiled together, and they didn't even have the strength to hold their heads high and spit letters, and their heads were weakly pulled down...
Under the snake's skin, its flesh and blood began to dry up. At last... The snake died. Its body dried up quickly, and the water flowed away, turning into a snake trunk! Then the snakeskin breaks,It's like defeat...
"A golden-eyed python, according to your human calculations, has a lifespan of about forty years." Medusa's voice sounded softly: "From birth to old age and death." During this period, it will molt four times. After the fourth molt, it will grow to the peak of mana and power.
Du Wei felt his heart beating wildly!
Forty years?
But how long did it take just now? Up to ten minutes? No, I'm afraid it's only five or six minutes!
Within five or six minutes. A juvenile golden-eyed python completes from infancy, then grows into adulthood, then molts four times, and finally ages... And then to death... In five minutes, it has completed its ordinary forty years of life!?
"That's why I say that this spring water is 'completely opposite' to the fountain of youth and immortality." Medusa smiles: "I named it 'Time Pass'.
After a pause, the beautiful beautiful snake laughed: "Gegewu said, this kind of spring water." If you use it as poison. It will be the most terrifying poison in the world! Du
Wei and Hussein both had shock in their eyes!
Indeed, this is indeed the most terrifying poison in the world!
Time!
What poison is more powerful than the passage of time ?!
Du Wei thought more...
Why? Why this "time has passed". Nowhere else, just with this fountain of youth and immortality?
It is like nature, the hidden nature of all things in the world! One is to make people freeze forever, and the other is to pass quickly!
So, what wonderful effect would happen if you mixed these two springs together?
Or, a person who has drunk the fountain of youth and immortality, and then drank the passage of time... And what will happen?
Of course, these problems are hidden in Du Wei's heart, and he will not say them in front of others. He just thought for a moment and said, "Can I take some of the spring water here?"
After
getting Medusa's consent, Du Wei immediately took out all the bottles on his body unceremoniously, and then emptied all the magic drugs and other things in it and threw them away... Something else can be found outside again, but this kind of spring water, leaving here, I am afraid that the whole world will not find it!
Du Wei found all the bottles on his body, filled a few bottles of "Time Pass", and finally shed an empty bottle and filled another bottle of "Youth Immortal Spring".
"What are you doing with these horrible passages of time?" Hussein frowned: "It seems to me that this kind of thing can only poison people, and nothing else is useful."
"You forgot, I'm a magic apothecary, a poison apothecary!" Du Wei vaguely took it.
He had another note in mind.
Time passes... What if used smartly?
Just now a handful of water was fed to a golden-eyed python to drink, which is equivalent to poisoning it in five minutes.
So... What if I drink less? How about diluting the spring water to a certain degree of ingenuity? Is it possible to make it grow just right? But not to die of old age?
So... What if it's for the tree people outside? Is it possible to make a seedling grow into a towering tree in a short time?
If a sip is too much, then drink a drop! If a drop is too much... Then add a drop of spring water to a bucket of clean water and dilute it!
Du Wei is really curious about this thing!
Even with a few bottles in his arms, he didn't think it was enough, and looked at Medusa embarrassedly: "Do you have any other containers here?"
Or did Hussein take out what he carried with him ... A leather bag, which turned out to be for wine. Du Wei took it and filled it with a bag of spring water before he was satisfied.
Bring it back and have the opportunity to study it slowly!
"I'm weird... You drank the fountain of youth to evolve into Medusa. Du Wei said slowly, "But why don't you let the other golden-eyed pythons also drink spring water?"
"Because I'm selfish." Medusa replied without changing her face: "There is only me here, Medusa, and my words are the only order." If there is one more... Then, there will be war, and if there is one more group, then maybe I will die too. "Good
. You already have at least a little humanity. Du Weihaha smiled: "Because if nothing else, human beings, on the whole, are the most selfish creatures in the world."
After
a pause, Du Wei smiled and said, "Okay, then, Your Majesty, what next?" The deal we made. I am willing to teach you everything about humanity... So, are you ready to hit the road with us? Or stay here and come back to you when I'm done with my business?" Medusa's
choice surprised Du Wei and the others.
"I'll leave with you." Her Majesty replied without hesitation.
Du Wei was stunned: "You... Are you saying you're joining our team?
"No, not to join your ranks. It's following you away, not you. Medusa said lightly: "I don't like humans and don't believe in humans." What I've heard about human behavior from Gegewitch seems that most humans are not used to keeping their promises. So I will follow you.
Then, this peerless beauty who was extremely indifferent suddenly smiled, and she said softly: "Moreover, I have stayed here enough!" You should have seen it when you came in, here... Rats everywhere! And I'm a snake, and what I hate the most is rats!
Du Wei smiled.
Yes, in the biological chain, snakes are natural enemies of mice!
The other companions were a little jealous of the queen. Even Du Wei was a little skeptical that his move would bring a catastrophe to mankind?
This is no one else! It is the most terrifying monster in legend, Queen Medusa! As long as she comes to the human world, and then casually opens her eyes and looks around... Then it's a massacre!
"Your Majesty..." the rat prime minister suddenly threw himself at her feet: "You leave, what can I do!" If those tree people break in, I can't stop them!
"Then don't get in the way." Medusa didn't seem to leave a message about her "kingdom", she said lightly: "This canyon was originally theirs, and it is nothing to return them." Out
of the canyon, the Tree Terran Old Wood, who was waiting outside, was already walking around anxiously. Its huge footsteps are in the potholes that are still stepped on on the ground. Also shakes the canopy from time to time.
Seeing Du Wei and several people come out, Old Wood suddenly let out a cheer. Immediately, as if in response to it, countless tree man "companions" behind him let out a roar.
"Mr. Wood." Du Wei and Yan Yueshi walked in front of the tree people: "We have convinced the evil eye, from today onwards, she will return the canyon to the tree people... However, there is one condition. A simple condition, I need to get the promise of the Tree Terrans, and I believe that the Good Tree Terrans will not break their promises. What
else does this say? Old Wood immediately agreed.
"The canyon is returned to you, and the fountain of youth is also in it. But..." Du Wei said slowly: "In the innermost part of the palace, there is a black house, that place is forbidden, I ask you to promise that you Tree Terrans will guard that place and will not let anyone in!" No creatures will be allowed near, including yourselves. If there are other creatures, whether Warcraft or humans, anything! You have to do everything you can to stop it! Other than that, I have no other requirements.
Before
coming out, the powerful knight used the golden fighting qi, and a few swords split the palace, revealing the original inner hall, revealing the location of the fountain of youth and immortality. And the passage of time is quietly buried in the innermost preserved black house.
The leaders of the Tree Terrans could no longer express their gratitude in words, and the kind and generous Tree Terrans did not resent the centuries-old grudges of the Evil Eye, and they could regain the guarantee of their own people's inheritance: the fountain of youth and immortality, there would be no other requirements.
Wood assured on the spot that the Tree Terrans would keep their promise to protect the place. No outsiders are allowed in.
"Respectful... Guest... Here you go... That piece... Leaves, also... Is it?
Du Wei was stunned for a moment, touched it in his arms for a while, felt the golden leaf given by Old Wood before entering the canyon, after entering, he originally thought that there would be a big battle with Medusa, but it didn't work, he touched it and said with a smile: "Oh, I almost forgot, I'll return this to you."
"Nope! You... Keep. Old Wood's thick voice trembled a little, with gratitude, and then he stretched out a branch and gently twisted the leaf, twisted several branches, rolled the leaf back and forth and folded a few times, and finally curled it into a golden one... Bugle!
Old Wood then told Du Wei an amazing secret!
This golden leaf is a leaf from the vine on the "Nature Horn", the treasure of the Tree Terran Clan!!
This pure gold leaf, folded into a small horn, after blowing...
As long as it is a place where there are trees around, you can wake up those big trees and become... Treeman "companion" (although Du Wei feels that this is simply a treeman "slave").
"You... OK... Driven... They... For you... Do... Any... Thing. Old Wood explained: "But... Yes... Time... Limit. The
so-called time limit is that when the sun goes down, they will turn into trees again.
"That is, the time to wake up is only one day at most." Du Wei smiled.
He was smiling so happily!!!
If... If I could dilute the spring water that passed by time to a certain extent... So what does it represent?
As long as I carry a handful of seeds with me!
Then everywhere I go, I have a large group of giant bodyguards with me!!
Sent it! This is issued!!
