Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 817: Bewitching

Even if the Death King Tree had high intelligence, it wasn’t human. Its emotional control was weaker. When it heard about the Life Brain, it got emotional.

When Death King Tree was in Linhai, it controlled the entire city. Apart from treating the humans like food, it made this Life Brain, which displayed its highest ability.

But Ye Zhongming stole it.

Why was it so stubborn in following Ye Zhongming and Cloud Peak? Apart from wanting to take revenge, it wanted to get the Life Brain back!

This was its dream evolution method.

Now, this human actually said that he would return it to it?

The Death King Tree valued the Life Brain, so it instinctively assumed that Ye Zhongming would care about it, too. Since it was so important, were you lying to me if you wanted to return it?

Seeing the Death King Tree’s expression change from emotional to suspicious, Ye Zhongming continued, “As compared to the rewards you would get here, the Life Brain isn’t my first choice. That is something you created, and it fits your body the best. If we work together, it would be a win-win situation.”

“I know that you are suspicious that I will go against my word. After all, the Life Brain isn’t on me. But I can allow you to plant the Soul Vein on my body!”

Hearing Ye Zhongming say that, the Death King Tree was shocked, “How do you know about the Soul Vein!”

Ye Zhongming didn’t reply. He scattered some black soil on the ground and placed a Cannibal Flower seed. After using nurture, a Cannibal Flower grew and matured.

Although the Death King Tree knew that Ye Zhongming had such an ability when the second Roselle Cedar appeared in Linhai, but it was still shocked even after seeing it.

It was like a human seeing another lifeform that could cause a baby to turn into a mature adult with a wave of his hands.

It was unbelievable.

To the Death King Tree, this was a type of god hand.

Ye Zhongming only did that and didn’t explain. He couldn’t explain but he acted mysterious and didn’t say anything. He believed that with the Death King Tree’s personality, it would connect the dots.

As expected, after seeing Ye Zhongming’s ability, the Death King Tree believed that the human knew about it.

Soul Vein was a support ability that plants gained after reaching level seven. As plants, it was easy for individual plants to live in the same region. As they grew, their roots, which were many times larger than their crowns, would easily tangle with one another.

Under such a situation, if they wanted to evolve, they had to occupy the territory like humans and other animals, not allowing other plants to enter.

But many mutated plants didn’t have moveable bodies, so if two plants met, they could only fight to the death.

As there were many mutated plants, much more than humans and mutated animals, the area below the ground was occupied by the roots of mutated plants. If such situations were too often, the number of mutated plants would reduce and they would fall from their ruling position on earth.

So when they evolved to a high level, they would have a support ability: Soul Vein. They could plant it in each other’s body so that both sides could relax, work together, and live in the same region.

One could say that this was how mutated plants worked as groups and how they protected themselves, like humans working with each other.

Of course, this Soul Vein could be planted on other life forms. But the other side didn’t have the same ability, so they wouldn’t allow you to do it to them.

Now that Ye Zhongming said it could use Soul Vein on him, most of its worries have been reduced.

Soul Vein was a soul contract. They would discuss and write the contents onto the contract. They would both follow it. If one side went against it, they would be punished.

This was similar to law contracts in society.

“You really are sincere.” The Death King Tree moved its body, and its tone was much gentler.

Ye Zhongming nodded, “Yes, that is because I can benefit greatly too.”

Death King Tree’s female face looked around, and it was tempted, but it still didn’t make its mind up. Maybe it was considering the pros and cons or having other thoughts. This intelligent lifeform showed a side that Ye Zhongming was unsure of.

But he didn’t worry as he had a killing move.

“Maybe our cooperation won’t be a simple trade in the future. Our Cloud Peak might be able to help you fulfill your wish.”

“What do you mean?”

Ye Zhongming knew there was a chance and said slowly, “We have a lab researching genes. We can merge human and mutated lifeform DNA. We just have to solve a few problems to have a perfect merge. Do you understand what I mean?”

It blinked and its expression got more exaggerated.

“Right, we might be able to get you… A perfect human body.”

Ye Zhongming really used his trump card.

Who was the Death King Tree? What did it do? It was a mutated plant, but it incorporated a human face into its body and even kept a female corpse inside. It even made a brain similar to human brains.

It did so because… It wanted to turn into a human!

Not only the Death King Tree but many mutated lifeforms with such abilities had similar thoughts. The Talking Lady was an obvious example.

But it wasn’t simple. The Talking Lady turned from a human into a zombie and just wanted to turn back. But the Death King Tree wasn’t human. It was hard for it to evolve into a human.

It got a body and made a brain, but no one knew if it would work. It itself wasn’t confident.

But after seeing Ye Zhongming’s ability and hearing of his gene lab, it was really tempted.

Becoming human… That was a close-to-perfect structure.

“Can I really use the Soul Vein?” Death King Tree confirmed.

“Yes!” Ye Zhongming was frank.

The two of them laughed. One laughed because it was not worried, the other laughed because… It fell for it.
