Why don't you have a normal person on board?

Chapter 257 The Tree of Life on the Asylum
Sitting at the front of the deck of the Madhouse, Xiao Bai fiddled with the mop on the floor boredly, curled up, and kept his eyes on the direction of the wreckage of the ship at the bottom of the tree of life.

The quack doctors at this moment are dissecting themselves to the useless stumps in batches, which is simply dumped into the sea.

He noticed Xiao Bai sitting at the front of the boat, and said aloud, "If you were really worried, you should have followed along."

Xiaobai also thought so at first, but Wangcai said that he might not be able to help, so he had to let this matter go.

All they can do now is to wait for Tongqiu to come back on the lunatic asylum.

After disposing of the last batch of corpses and severed limbs, the quack doctor was about to return to the cabin, but suddenly stopped, frowning, "Huh?"

The hull of the Madhouse was shaking slightly, as if the sea was roaring, but if he looked at the sea around the ship, the quack doctor found that the sea was calm, and it didn't look like a catastrophic event such as a tsunami was about to happen.

Then why... the hull is shaking?
Something seemed to be kicked at his feet, the quack doctor lowered his head, only to find that a branch belonging to the tree of life was slowly lifted up.No... not just one, but countless!
The branches that were dormant under the deck of the Madhouse and in the hull separated from it, and began to intertwine at the mast of the Madhouse. Black leaves grew on the surface of the vines, and they gathered and intertwined on the mast, forming a Similar to a bundle of products similar to tree trunks!

A tree of life is thriving on board the Madhouse!

Lush black foliage hung over the Asylum as those branches intertwined to form a small tree of life.At this time, the quack doctor suddenly discovered that the severed limbs and flesh floating on the sea just now were shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been drained of their life force!
"This..." The quack doctor looked at Xiaobai who was also confused at the bow, none of them were affected by the tree of life.

"What happened! What happened!" The fake monk staggered out of the cabin, holding a lot of "scriptures" in his arms, "Is the boat going to capsize? These scriptures written by the poor monk What about Wen Ke! These are heirlooms!"

The quack doctor covered his face, "Put your pants on first."

Looking towards the Madhouse from the direction where the Sick Saintess and Zhao Linger are, one can also see a thriving tree of life, although the size is smaller than the one in the middle of the black barrier, but that kind of weird and disturbing The tingling sensation of the scalp is so real!

Zhao Linger looked at the branch rooted in the Madhouse in horror. She thought she could understand Tong Qiu's madness and the outrageous brain circuit, but until now, she really realized that she still knew too much about Tong Qiu. Shallow.

Among the survivors, there have been rumors about the existence of the tree of life very early on, and they learned that as long as they eat the fruits on the tree of life and survive, they can gain part of the power of the tree of life, and it is even possible Gaining the favor of the tree of life will make sailing in the sea area smoother in the future.

So far, many people have searched for the Tree of Life in the sea, but few have found it.

Even if the fate is great, after untold hardships to get the fruit of the tree of life, no one has ever survived after eating it!

However, now on the ship of the Madhouse, there is actually a tree of life growing.

Could it be that Tongqiu was so crazy that he directly transplanted the tree of life to his own ship, trying to get the fruit of the tree of life in this way?
This approach is simply too crazy!

"You, your captain..." Zhao Linger asked the sickly saint with a trembling voice, "Has he always been this extreme?"

The sickly maiden pursed her lips and smiled, "Our captain is chosen by the Lord, and he is destined to be the leader to be redeemed."

If she heard others say that, Zhao Linger would definitely think that this group of people are idiots.

But it's hard to say if it's Tongqiu...

Asylum number, the quack doctor has confirmed one thing.

This tree of life will not have any impact on the madhouse and the crew of the madhouse, only the invaders and enemies will be affected.

No, maybe it should be said... This tree of life will only protect Tongqiu and the companions and items recognized by Tongqiu, and any other items will be affected by the tree of life!

If one day Tongqiu died, the Madhouse and its crew would not even be blessed by the tree of life anymore!
"It's getting worse and worse." The quack doctor looked at the direction of the shipwreck and subconsciously sighed, "Has our captain reached this point? Even such a high-level existence will pay special attention to him .”

It is true that there are earth-shaking changes on the outside, but inside the wreckage, Tongqiu just swallowed the devil fruit in his stomach.

The moment he got the devil fruit, Tongqiu swallowed the fruit decisively into his stomach. When his hand left the tree of life, his connection with the tree of life was severed, as if lost. signal.

After eating the fruit, the heat exploded, and Tongqiu felt as if a grenade had exploded in his stomach, so he managed to avoid vomiting out the food he ate last night.

"Hiss..." Taking a breath, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Tongqiu struggled to prop up his body, the extraordinary power contained in the devil fruit was like boiling hot water, jumping up and down in his body!
The heat was unbearable, Tong Qiuha let out a breath, and punched the wall of the room with his alienated arm, trembling violently, causing the captain's body, which was entwined with the branches of the tree of life on the ceiling, to fall down.

The void prosthetic body grabbed the corpse, and the poison originally applied to the living creature instantly eroded the whole body of the captain's corpse.

then.

The captain's body stood up.

Like a walking corpse, he moved his steps and started to walk towards the door of the cabin.

Li Xiaoyao, who had barely adapted to the darkness, saw the corpse walk past him, and then came to the door of the cabin.

At this moment, Tong Qiu understood.

The poison of the tree of life essentially turns the living into the dead, and then uses this to manipulate the dead.

After eating two and a half devil fruits, I stole this part of the ability, and also possessed the ability to turn the corpse into a living dead.

Of course, he can't control the corpse of the living dead, which is a drawback.

As for how many corpses can be turned into human beings at the same time, this is also unknown. At least Tongqiu can clearly feel that the extraordinary power consumed by turning the living dead into human beings is far less than the extraordinary power consumed by turning corpses into human beings.

With the extraordinary ability of the fifth stage, turning a corpse into a human is already a lot of consumption.

"I'll count down to one," Tong Qiu wiped off the sweat that appeared on his face due to the pain, "I'll use this corpse as bait to lure away the things outside the door, and then we'll get out of here, understand?"

The Devil Fruit was eaten by Tong Qiu, and the Tree of Life showed signs of withering and collapsing.It's not particularly obvious now, but once it drags on for a long time, the tree of life supporting the wreckage of the ship collapses, and they can only be submerged in the ruins and then sink to the bottom of the sea!

Li Xiaoyao nodded, ready to listen to Tongqiu's countdown.

"one!"

"Fuck! Is it just one?!"
