Chapter 566 Chapter 564 Malphite Isn't Very Smart

"It seems that these fungi have broken away from their original level of life and evolved into some kind of unknown void creature that actively preys on other life, let's call it void creep.

The void energy continues to permeate upwards, causing the fungus that was first exposed to the void energy to mutate, forming the current void creep in the slow evolution.

These creeps corroded by void energy use crystal clusters as elemental beacons, use the guiding properties of the original crystal clusters to slowly absorb the free elemental energy in the air, transform the elemental energy into void energy for their own reproduction and expansion, and wait until mature bacteria are formed After the blanket, it will take root and grow towards another crystal cluster through spore division, so as to change the ecological environment of the underground world and make the natural environment [void].

Perhaps it won't be long before the creep that devours enough life will form a unique void creature, thus evolving a void world that competes with the natural world.

From this point of view, the source of the void energy is even lower. "

With a preliminary inference, Lester decided to take back the lantern and continue to explore.

The natural caves in the underground world extend in all directions. Seeing the side roads and forks one after another, Lester decided to explore the crystal clusters surrounded by the void after thinking about it.

The creeps deeper underground are different from the creeps in the shallower layers. The crystals surrounded by void creeps have completely turned into a strange deep purple. The creeps that have evolved further have grown dozens of long whips like octopus tentacles. In the form of a transparent meat pan, the voided purple crystal is wrapped around it as its own energy core, and the creep has become a tentacle living body in the form of a meat pan that even Lester can't describe.

Not surprisingly for Lester, these void meat naan evolved from the original void creep are more aggressive, waving tentacles while moving slowly to attack.

With Luoxia effortlessly cutting off the purple tentacles covered with pustules, Lester stepped back to avoid the splashing purple pus.

It only took a few seconds for the purple pus scattered on the ground to form the unique dangerous atmosphere of the creep, but unfortunately there was no continuous void energy supply, and the eye rock surface shrank and dissipated.

"The movement speed is slow, the attack method is single, and the combat effectiveness of the meat naan's tentacles is not even as good as the void beetle I met in Icacia. As long as they don't come into contact with these dangerous pus, even ordinary people can escape the meat naan's attack. See The evolution direction of this kind of thing is to transform the ecology and landform as the main goal. From the purely life level, the viability and adaptability of meat pans are quite amazing."

Realizing that the living things in front of him would not become his food, the meat naan that attacked first began to shrink back. Naturally, Lester would not just watch the meat naan escape, and after cutting off all the other tentacles, Lester pierced the crystal core of the meat naan with a knife,

The moment the crystal shattered, the crystal quickly collapsed, turning into free void energy without a sound.

The meat naan died completely within a few seconds, leaving only a finger-sized gelatinous substance in place.

The other seven or eight meat pans could not escape the end of death. After clearing the ground, Lester picked up the jelly-like dark purple jelly to observe. Feeling Lester's sufficient vitality, the dying colloid suddenly became agitated. , seems to want to get under Leicester's skin.

For the void species that are dead but not stiff, what Lester did was to close his fingers and completely crush the colloid that wanted to parasitize himself.

"It seems that this thing is a little more dangerous than I expected."

Just as Lester was frowning and thinking, a terrible vibration came from the depths of the earth, and the sudden vibration was continuous and deafening.

It was as if the continental plates were rubbing against each other violently, and the not-so-solid gravel on the cave wall fell off one after another, and the rock cones mixed with gravel fell like rain, hitting the ground close to Lester's dodging body, The underground world finally began to collapse on a small scale, compressing Leicester's activity space.

Just when Lester thought he was going to be a gold miner struggling to survive, the shock stopped abruptly.

Instead of the gray rock wall that was nearly 30 meters away, a pair of tea-brown rock faces appeared less than ten meters away from Leicester. Two large holes emitting dim green light could be called eyes.

At least Lester thinks so.

"Oh, sorry, I almost hurt you. (Ixtal)"

The face of the tea-brown rock opened a mouth similar to a fissure in the abyss, and there was a loud noise from the gap, which was the same as the earthquake just now. Guessing that the human beings in front of him could not understand his native language, Da Kuaitou spoke again.

"Hey, the passage to the upper floor is blocked, humans, this place is too dangerous, I will open the way for you, get out of here, I will deal with these creatures from Chaos. (Shurima language)"

"The child of [One Stone] was born from the miracle of Murphy Rock. I didn't expect that I could find you here. I have to say that you are very talented in language. Rock giant, come closer and let me take a good look at you. "

The first half of the sentence is in Xutar, and the second half is in Shurima, including the content of the words. Lester must use the most concise language to impress the heart of the rock giant and let himself gain the initiative.

When Lester's voice came into his mind, the rock giant who named himself 'Malphite' froze in place, his eyes widened, and he became at a loss.

Whether it is in Ixtal language or the content of the words, it is enough to make the head of the rock giant explode with high frequency like a supernova. It never expected that there would be a human being who would recognize its origin as soon as it met.

The language of his hometown made Malphite seem to have returned to the time when he hadn't left Monolith thousands of years ago. It hadn't heard the language from his hometown for thousands of years.

Who is the human being in front of me? Why does he speak Xtal, why does he understand his origin? Why did he know he was born from Murphy Rock?

Countless questions suddenly appeared on the clever brain, and Malphite turned into a veritable stone man, motionless.

He has been observing the stone man in front of him, watching Malphite's small eyes staring into copper bells, not knowing that Malphite has shut down, Lester thought that the big head in front of him was doubting his identity.

"Rock giant, don't worry about me hurting you. I'm from Ixtar, the elemental mage of Ixtar. I think we have a lot to talk about, because outside, I want to meet someone who understands Companions in the native language are too difficult, besides, we can also talk about these creatures of chaos, I think I should have disturbed your baby's sleep just now, I am sorry for that."

"Oh, fellow, I believe you, I'm just a little... at a loss."

Countless questions turned into trust under the local accent, and Malphite, who was a little excited, decided to believe the words of the fellow.

The natural power of controlling rocks made Malphite easily 'squeeze' away the stones near his cheeks, and the tight stones flowed towards him passively like a liquid, and the rock giant cautiously made his face more protruding On the rock wall, avoid the gravel from hitting the fellow villagers while staying close to your fellow villagers.

"Fellow, you can call me Malphite, this is the name I gave myself, if you don't like it, you can also give me a nice name, because every archmage of Ixtar is the most A trustworthy wise man is like the elemental mage who built me... What's your name, fellow?"

Patting the chin shell in front of him with his hand, Lester responded friendly.

"My name is... Lester, Malphite, this is really a name full of wisdom and heroism, I don't think even I can find a better name than Malphite,

By the way, Moffitt, I want to ask, can you still connect to a shared network now? I heard that Malphite will share each other's wisdom in the magic network, just like before you left Monolith, countless Malphite form Monolith fortress, attacking Chaos creatures in unified thoughts and emotions, so for maximum destructive power. "

Malphite, who was a little confused at first, quickly understood what Lester meant, and the rock giant resisted the urge to scratch his head, and said.

"Fellow Leicester, the shared network you mentioned should be gone. Since I woke up, I have never found any living companions. They have fallen into an eternal sleep under the attack of chaos. Unable to attack Chaos,

During my several deep sleeps, I never heard their voices, which made me understand that I should be the last conscious body left after the death of Monolith. "

"I'm sorry, Rock Giant, for making you think of something bad."

"It doesn't matter. I am already very happy to meet fellow villagers when I wake up. I didn't know until I saw you that I am not the only one fighting against the minions of Chaos in this world."

Sensing that Malphite was in a low mood, Lester climbed onto Malphite's nose with both hands and feet. During this period, Malphite did not make any obstructive actions but stuck his nose out in cooperation.

"Malphite, how much do you know about the chaotic creatures here?"

"I just remember that when I fell asleep last time, the rock formation here had no chaotic energy, but this time when I woke up, it was full of evil chaotic aura.

I have been following the trail of the Chaos Vine spreading underground, trying to push more rocks deeper underground to prevent the expansion of the Chaos Vine. Even so, there are still a lot of forces from the Chaos Vine coming from the underground world Fleeing, it is difficult for me alone to prevent the penetration and spread of those chaotic minions,

In fact, you have also seen that these chaotic breaths will come to the surface world through my rocks, and there will always be some fish that slip through the net to escape from the underground world. "

"Chaos Vine? Can you describe it in detail? Information about its shape and living environment."

Blinking his eyes, Malphite spoke hesitantly.

"The vine of chaos grows like a dark purple shining vine, it has no real shape, it moves very slowly, but it is difficult to be completely destroyed, even the hardest stone.

It will continue to spread from the chaotic cracks in the underground world, and slowly grow along the earth's crust towards places without chaotic breath.

I also discovered the traces of the Chaos Vine a long, long time ago. Since then, I have actively followed the growth path of the Chaos Vine to reinforce the earth's crust with rocks. The dense rocks can hinder the growth of the Chaos Vine, but there is no way to completely stop it The infiltration of the chaotic breath... Fellow countryman, do you have a way to completely solve the growth of the chaotic vine? "

Lester smiled wryly to himself, as expected of Runeterra, which is riddled with holes, the Frostguard Fortress of the Freljord, the merman land west of Mount Targon, the void cracks in Icathia, and now there are more underground places in Zaun A purple hole, all relying on Malphite, a lonely and foolish person, desperately maintaining the stability. This is not to say that the void has found a way to erode without relying on cracks. Seen in the background of the story of Runeterra.

Just the Void Invasion alone has several big problems that cannot be repaired. I really don't know when Runeterra will become the second Icacia.

Coupled with Mordekaiser who is ready to move and Fyego who is crazy about love, being chosen by the will of Runeterra to save such a world, Lester is a bit overwhelmed.

"I think I should go and see for myself, Malphite, is there any way you can take me deeper underground?"

This time Leicester could clearly sense the stone man's hesitation.

"Well, I can put you in my body, and then I will take you deeper into the underground world, but no one can survive in my body, your human body is too fragile, even I'm afraid the mages in my hometown can't do it either."

"Malphite, don't worry, I'm not an ordinary human being, my life level has already reached an extraordinary level."

Malphite shook his head and said firmly.

"I'm willing to take your word for it, fellow Leicester, but I can't let you risk any death. I have only one friend, and I can't lose you."

Lester didn't expect the simple and simple Moffitt to unexpectedly have his own persistence, after a little thought, Lester said again: "Moffitt, I have a way to prove that I am different from ordinary people.

Put me in your body, if I can't take it, I'll tell you, then you can let me out,

After all, an archmage of Ixtar wouldn't die in your body out of stupid curiosity, what do you think? "

This time Malphite was silent for a long time, so long that Lester guessed that he still couldn't convince some stubborn stone giants.

Maybe he should rebuild the Malphite network with elemental magic and let himself join it?

Just as Lester was about to speak again, Malphite finally spoke.

"Fellow Leicester, are we friends? Friends in your human mouth?"

"Of course Malphite, we're not just friends, we're good friends."

"Okay, okay, my good friend, I will try to open my body now, if you feel threatened, please tell me immediately, I will release you or bring you back to the ground, promise me, Don't use your life to hurt a friend who cares about you, even if your friend is just a cold stone."

"Of course not, Malphite. In my opinion, you are not a cold stone at all. In fact, you are more humane than many humans."

"Come in, come in if you're ready."

Jumping directly from his nose into Malphite's wide-open mouth, Lester's eyes turned into darkness, and a strange pressure swept from all directions.
