A strange world

Chapter 1181 Section 103. Only fools will let the weirdness get out of control

Annan had seen the Otherworld Tree being irrigated by Dade's natural energy. That scene was like a picky child. Dade was busy sweating before reluctantly growing a leaf from the end of a branch.

But now the Otherworld Tree, which is nourished by weirdness... or human nature, is in a completely different state.

The invisible roots absorb the weirdness underground, and the Otherworld Tree begins to grow at an almost crazy speed.

The originally slender trunk begins to expand and grow with an almost audible "click". With the tightening and cracking of the bark, the new, vital wood layer inside is exposed.

As the branches of the Otherworld Tree extend outward, the crown also expands outward, forming a dense green shade, and the leaves change from tender green to emerald green, and then to dark green, flashing a natural emerald green luster.

Only one weirdness is fertilized, and it almost grows from a seedling to a healthy tree.

Annan actually felt a little guilty. Compared to now, the otherworldly tree seemed to be malnourished before.

Then a branch fell from the crown and gently stroked Annan's head and face.

"It's very active."

Dade raised his head and looked at the otherworldly tree that was also stroking him.

It was still digesting the monster in the pit, but its growth rate was much slower than the miracle just now. The next day, Dade and Irelanze remeasured the height of the otherworldly tree after it completely absorbed nutrients.

The trunk dimension increased by ten centimeters, the tree body almost grew to five meters, and there was an abnormally lush crown that looked like broccoli.

Dade said that this was probably the natural selection of the otherworldly tree: plants rely on leaves to absorb natural energy - Annan knew this.

But as a differentworld tree with emotions and responding to everyone, it has its own ideas: there are no monsters in this world, and in order to survive, it must let the branches and leaves flourish so that it will not be dragged down -

In other words, relying on the crown to absorb "natural energy", the otherworldly tree will at least not be malnourished or starved to death.

This made Annan unable to say the next words: "Can I pick two leaves of the Other World Tree?"

The Other World Tree swayed its branches, and generously dropped two of the largest leaves into Annan's palm.

Annan gave a leaf to Irelanze, asked her to stay away, and said with the leaf of the Other World Tree: "Irelanze, can you hear me?"

"I love you, too."

"Stay further away."

When Annan and Irelanze were about three or four hundred meters apart, the sound began to become blurred and intermittent.

This distance was a bit short, and it could only be used as a walkie-talkie, but at least it proved that the Other World Tree was really the World Tree of the Other World-

Annan asked for a third leaf, and he, Irelanze, and Dade held them separately to talk.

No matter who spoke, the other two could always hear it, without the directional effect of the World Tree's leaves.

But the Other World Tree was still very young, and it was a pleasant surprise to have an effect.

The neighboring principality has cleared less than half of it so far, and the remaining half should be able to provide one or two more monsters, which can make the Other World Tree grow again.

In addition to the bandits, Annan also encouraged the Punishment Corps to take more actions against those wanted masters.

Next, Annan went to visit the Weird Squad.

As the main executioners, the Burnt Girl, the Invisible Man and the Slug, who could gain humanity through killing, made a lot of money and their strength increased greatly.

But it doesn't mean it's a good thing...

The Invisible Man and the Slug are fine. There is no obvious change in their appearance, but they seem to be unaccustomed to killing and have suffered some psychological trauma, so they have become taciturn.

And the Burnt Girl, who was favored by Annan, killed more criminals.

On this day, when digging out the heart of a damned criminal as usual, the Burnt Girl suddenly lost control and attacked the surrounding jailers.

Or Lilith arrived in time and barely controlled it.

Annan, who was urging Michael to develop a steam engine in the Mushroom House, rushed to the prison after hearing the news, and looked at the Burnt Girl who was forcibly shackled by Lilith's magic, but kept shaking, convulsing, emitting fire, black smoke and ominous.

"What happened?"

The jailer who survived the disaster hurriedly said that the Burnt Girl was still executing the prisoner a second ago, but when she just killed the prisoner and was still holding the beating heart in her hand, she burst into a black mist without warning, covering the entire cell...

"Why did it suddenly lose control?"

No one could answer. Annan inexplicably thought of the irrational monsters in the Strange Stories City, and his emotions gradually sank to the bottom...

Could the Burnt Girl have become one of them?

But what is the trigger, killing?

This is bad news. If the monster loses consciousness due to killing, it means that it can no longer stably produce nutrients for the Different World Tree through killing...

But the most urgent task is to make the Burnt Girl regain consciousness.

Annan looked at the Burnt Girl, felt her pain, and whispered: "Wake up..."

But it was useless. Her emotions were getting weaker and weaker, and were replaced by an incomprehensible consciousness like the abyss.

Annan had to ask for help from the Skeleton King again. Knowing that the situation was urgent, it agreed to help Annan check on the condition of the Burnt Girl.

"It has absorbed too much humanity."

Through the portal, Skeleton King confirmed the state of the Burnt Girl.

"Shouldn't this be a good thing?"

Annan still remembered what Skeleton King had said about the origin of life. It also said that warlocks were the representatives of strong humanity... Then why did the Burnt Girl go crazy?

"Our bodies are containers." The Skeleton King stared at the fire that flickered like breathing deep in the cracks of the charred girl's body. "Whether it is vitality or soul, when it exceeds the limit of the container, it will overflow."

"They have advantages, but when they are presented in the form of disadvantages, the overflow of souls will attract magical creatures that feed on souls, the overflow of vitality will change the form of life, and the overflow of human nature... No one knows, but I'm afraid it is the weird posture of the Strange Stories City."

Annan called the invisible man and the slug again, and the Skeleton King said: "They are the same, but they haven't reached their limit yet."

"Is there no way?"

The Skeleton King shook his head: "We don't have a way to induce vomiting."

"No, there is another way!"

Annan took them to the garden.

The princess was sitting in front of the World Tree, looking at this side with empty eyes.

With no time to accompany the princess, Annan pushed the burnt girl and the others towards the delighted Otherworld Tree and asked, "They are our own people. Can you absorb the extra humanity without damaging them?"

The roots of the Otherworld Tree slowly emerged from the deep pit that had not yet been filled, and surrounded their bodies in an almost gentle manner. Then, a miracle scene appeared: the strange black smoke covering the burnt girl gradually dissipated into nothingness, and the Otherworld Tree began to continue growing.

Annan, relieved of the Skeleton Dynasty, nodded: "You did it... You really found a way to prevent the monster from getting out of control."

Being praised by the legendary wizard, Annan couldn't help but feel proud: "How stupid a person must be to make the monster get out of control."
