YM778.TV Chapter 1374 - Energy Storm
Xia Yingluo was in a void.
There was darkness everywhere as she walked continuously. She didn’t know what she was looking for until a faint light appeared in front of her. When she came to the light, she saw a seed floating in the void, and the mist was wrapped in a touch of golden-green, looking like a charming illusion. “What are you?” she asked softly.
The seed lied quietly suspended in the void, but a sound came into her mind—
[I am the World Tree.]
Yes, this was the World Tree that was bred in her body. It had not yet grown and still looked like a seed.
“What happened to me, why am I here?” she asked again.
[You are badly hurt,] The World Tree replied with anger and inquiry. [Why didn’t you eat him?]
She was a little stunned before she could tell who it was talking about. “Eat Wei Lingnan? I don’t want to eat him, don’t give this idea to me. You’re not allowed to control my body in the future!” Now that she thought about it, she must have lost control at the wedding ceremony due to the World Tree taking control over her.
The World Tree was still very angry. [He is your husband and has to be eaten by you!]
“Husband?” She laughed at herself. “He almost became Gu Jinxiu’s husband.”
[He was looking for death!] The World Tree gave out a sharp whistling, and the golden-green light fluctuated. [His entire mission is to be eaten by you! Since he dares to marry another woman, don’t blame me for attacking him! Eat him!]
“No.” Xia Yingluo refused again.
The World Tree was even angrier, and the golden-green energy storm made the entire void unstable. [You have insufficient energy now, and you will die without eating him! All of us will die!]
Instead, Xia Yingluo calmed down. “We will not die. Although my energy is weak, I can still support you. You were the one looking for death. You lost so much energy at the wedding to attack him and caused the tragedy today.”
[Stupid!] The World Tree screamed. [Do you know why the queen eats her husband on their wedding night? Because he is my father! His energy is the same as mine! Eating one of him gives me more than enough energy than eating all the Skatana male soldiers! Most of the energy of the World Tree comes from that meal. As for the energy the soldiers provide in the future? It is just a tiny drop in the ocean!]
For the first time, Xia Yingluo heard such a statement and her mind went blank. After the queen became pregnant, the entire family would search for energy, but it said that the energy was just a drop in the ocean compared to eating Wei Lingnan?!
“No, I don’t want to eat him,” she said dryly.
[We will die! All of us will die!] The World Tree screamed again. [Eat him! Get his spaceship! You have enough energy to take me back to my home star, and we’ll rebuild our home! Eat him! Eat him! Eat him!]
“Stop!” The riot of energy gave Xia Yingluo a headache. In the void, she covered her head in pain and shouted.
However, it was like the World Tree heard nothing. It kept repeating—
[Eat him! Eat him! Eat him!]
The golden-green energy storm was even more frantic, pressing Xia Yingluo tightly, making her heart move unconsciously. It was as if she was being brainwashed, and her eyes became a bit empty. “Eat... eat...” she murmured. “Eat...”
The gold-green energy surrounded her, restraining her, and crept into her mind like a weird vine.
Throughout Skatana, the only thing stronger than the queen’s will was the will of the World Tree, which was the basis for the survival and reproduction of the entire race. And the queen served it, after all.
The golden-green energy was like a spell.
Xia Yingluo’s eyes became even emptier. “Eat... him...” She was weak, withered due to energy exhaustion. Her consciousness struggled deeply, telling her it was wrong. But the energy of the World Tree was too powerful, making her unable to fight.
At this moment, a fragrance came from the dark void.
Broken white petals scattered one after another like a vast rain in the golden-green energy storm.
A broken petal fell on her face, turned into transparent energy, and disappeared.
There was a murmur in the petals.
Yingluo, survive...
Survive...
Yingluo.
There was instant clarity in her heart.
Her eyes recovered sharply, and she exhausted all her strength and shouted at the seed in the void. “No—!”
She would never eat him, no matter what happened!
With her sharp shouting, white energy burst out of her body. The energy storm slammed into the golden-green light of the World Tree, and the sky broke apart. The whole space became chaotic. She was shot down by the huge force and shattered into pieces in the dark void...
“Yingluo!”
In the laboratory, Wei Lingnan was holding her hand and saw her twitching violently. The skin of her whole body burst open, and lava-like hot blood flowed out, which instantly stained the entire experimental bed. How could this be?! Wei Lingnan’s complexion turned pale, and he hurriedly blocked her wounds. However, there were too many wounds, and the flesh rolled up inch by inch. The girl on the experimental bed was burning in high temperature and white smoke was emitting from many parts of her body. The white smoke caused the flesh to burn and blacken, like charcoal.
“Yingluo!” Wei Lingnan wailed.
He didn’t care about anything. He grabbed her hand and transferred his energy into her body desperately.
His energy was already very weak, and he couldn’t resist such a loss. In just a few seconds, he fell to his knees, and his sweat ran down like a waterfall.
“Mr. Wei!” The old man beside him also screamed. It would be fatal if he continued!
Wei Lingnan turned a deaf ear and just clutched her tightly, still delivering energy with desperation. His body dried up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. His originally lean arms shrunk into a 70-year-old man’s prominent tendons and bones, like a dead body.
“Yingluo... don’t die...” he said with a hard grip on her hand.
Her condition gradually stabilized as he desperately delivered her energy.
Her body no longer bled and her temperature was not so scary. Although she was lying on the experimental bed with sore holes, at least her limbs and wounds were not cooking and she no longer broke like a clay doll at the touch.
Wei Lingnan still did not dare to let go of her and continued trying his best to deliver energy.
He was afraid that as soon as he let go of her, her injuries would reopen. He feared that if he let go, the instant heat would swallow her.
He looked at her intently, not missing the slightest change, and did not even notice that the laboratory door was opened. A woman exclaimed, “Nan! What are you doing?!”
