I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 715 Another World Tree?
The Green Scale Clan's residence is much smaller than Sean had imagined. He doesn't know if it's because of the location or if these lizardmen just don't like living in big places.

Compared to the Yun family, which seems like the one in the novels about cultivating immortals, the Lu Lin clan seems a lot more shabby.

Even Mo Jiajia showed a look of disdain: "One is a middle-level deep blue, one is a lower-level deep blue, and there are many other deep red-level lizardmen under his command. Such a large family can create a new country in the outside world, so why do they live in such a small place?"

Sean was also puzzled: "Such a small place, not even as big as the headquarters of the Golden Ghost before it developed, how could there be two Deep Blues?"

This is not a casual complaint. The appearance of deep blue has necessary conditions. The simplest and most intuitive point is the energy concentration of the surrounding environment.

Take Sean as an example. Now all the energy in his body has been converted into original energy. Just by breathing, he can absorb the free energy in the surrounding space to maintain the operation of the energy source in his body.

But if Sean's energy sources are completely exhausted, he must increase his "suction force", and the energy absorption efficiency of the Deep Blue powerhouses is far beyond that of the Deep Red. It only takes Sean a few days to absorb most of the free energy within the imperial capital. By then, it will become difficult for the Deep Red powerhouses within the range to even replenish their energy - they won't even be able to get the leftovers.

However, Sean's speed allows him to quickly move to another area with abundant energy, and the area of ​​the imperial capital where energy is close to exhaustion will begin to gradually fill up, just like when an area in a body of water is drained of water, the surrounding water will quickly flow back.

Of course, the speed of energy backflow is naturally not as fast as that of water, which is also what Sean is confused about.

The Green Scale Clan's living area is a little too small. It can only be considered as barely enough to support one Deep Blue Lower Level, and it may not be enough to support another Deep Blue Middle Level.

Was it something else? For example, the unknown skeleton that Mo Jiajia had obtained before?
However, this consumption is too extravagant. The potions, bones, energy sources, etc. that contain countless energies are all used for emergency replenishment. Using these things for "daily expenses" is too much for Sean now.

The old lizardman who led the way took Sean into an undeveloped cave. He walked in carefully and introduced:
"This is the place where the clan leader and the junior clan leader practice. Except for some high-ranking members of the Green Scale Clan, ordinary clan members are not qualified to enter. I have lived for 367 years and have only entered a few times."

Sean walked in after hearing that. After passing through a long corridor, the scene inside the cave appeared before his eyes.

A huge flying dragon skeleton was placed in the deepest part of the cave, surrounded by various skeletons, including humans, lizardmen, crazy beasts and mutants. Of course, the most numerous were those that resembled flying dragons.

Just by standing in front, you can feel the huge energy contained in it.

Xiao En showed a surprised look: "Does your clan leader and junior clan leader usually rely on this thing to practice?"

The old lizard man nodded and said, "That should be the case. I heard that the largest skeleton has some blood of the original dragon Omgartor, and after death, unimaginable energy has gathered in the skeleton."

Sean took a step forward and placed his hand on the huge skeleton. He did not deliberately absorb it, but the excess energy lingering around the skeleton automatically flowed into his body.

Mo Jiajia was surprised and said, "It's really hard to imagine... No wonder the lizardman father and son were able to advance to the Deep Blue level. This skeleton is enough for them to absorb."

Sean shook his head. He walked around the skeleton twice and thought, "This is indeed a good thing. It is enough to replenish my energy dozens of times after it is exhausted. But it should still not be enough..."

Mo Jiajia asked in confusion, "Isn't that enough? Two Deep Blues, and the Hidden World Family doesn't usually go out to fight, so they rarely run out of energy, right?"

"Two is enough, but there must be more than two..." Sean looked at the old lizard man, with a smile on his face, "You won't tell me if I don't ask?"

The old lizardman knelt down trembling, and cried out: "I, I have no intention of hiding anything from you, sir! But I really don't know the situation! In the history of the Green Scale Clan, I know that there have been a total of twelve Deep Blues. The first few have no records, and the ones after them are all born, aged, sick, and died in various circumstances."

"I, I am the longest-lived race in the Green Scale Clan. My father and grandfather's generation have been wondering why Deep Blue keeps appearing in the clan, but the clan's energy source consumption is not much."

"But the position of the leader of the Green Scale Clan is only chosen from their family, and the same goes for the Deep Blue Clan. I really don't know the secret!"

The old lizard man didn't lie. Sean nodded slightly and didn't pursue the matter. He just walked around.

If more than twelve Deep Blues had been raised, this skeleton would never have been in this state of abundant energy. It would have been drained two hundred years ago... It doesn't make sense...

After some searching, I found an unusual place.

Sean discovered that the various skeletons around seemed to be placed in fixed positions in some kind of ritual, and the center point of the ritual was right below the giant flying dragon skeleton.

This energy source is close to the ground, and energy gathers in various forms and has a certain sedimentation characteristic, so it is normal that the part of the skeleton close to the ground is full of energy, and Sean had not noticed anything unusual before.

After discovering something was wrong, Sean simply stretched out his finger and hooked it, and the flying dragon skeleton that had been here for who knows how many years slowly rose up from the ground.

Sure enough, as soon as the flying dragon skeleton moved, the surrounding energy changed.

The ritual was ruined.

"Move it back to the Golden Ghost yard. You, the Boss, Qiong Ying and the others will be given priority." Sean instructed Mo Jiajia, and then turned his gaze to the seemingly ordinary ground.

An underwater cave, there should be sea water underneath. If the ground is opened, the surrounding water pressure will cause sea water to flow directly back in, and this place of the Lizardmen will basically be wiped out.

But Sean did not hesitate and directly blasted the ground under his feet.

Water vapor and the smell of the sea suddenly came out, and Sean's eyes immediately lit up.

What is flowing back is not sea water, but huge energy!
He lowered his head and looked down, only to see a deep energy channel underneath. This channel formed a substantial waterless corridor, which not only isolated the surrounding seawater, but also continuously absorbed energy from unknown sources.

The secret of the Green Scale Clan's endless supply of powerful Deep Blue warriors has been revealed.

However, judging by the way this energy channel works, it doesn't seem to be man-made...

Natural energy channel?

Sean showed surprise in his eyes. It was the first time he had seen such a huge natural energy channel.

It seems that the reason why the Green Scale Clan chose to hide in this remote corner was because of this passage.

The Green Scale Clan discovered this channel, and used the energy that continuously flows out of this channel to cultivate strong people. However, no one knows how many years this channel has appeared, and until now there is no sign of energy depletion.

After reaching his hand inside to sense it, Sean asked Mo Jiajia to go meet the team from Paradise City to move things, and he jumped directly into the energy channel. "My goodness, with this concentration of energy, if you soak in it for years, even an ordinary person without any veto talent can have superpowers, right? If you soak in it for a longer time, I'm afraid you won't need any training to reach the peak of the King level and wait for the promotion to the Deep Red level..."

Sean sighed and swam towards the depths along the energy channel.

You really have to swim. Although you are isolated from the sea water, the energy concentration here is almost the same as that of liquid.

A few hundred meters down, all the light had disappeared, and all that was swimming around were horrible and ugly deep-sea creatures.

Sean tried to stretch his hand out of the energy channel and immediately felt a huge water pressure, and the deep-sea creatures pounced over and tried to bite his hand.

As soon as Sean retracted his hand, those creatures could only retreat in disappointment, and it seemed that they did not dare to enter this energy channel.

Looking at the deep-sea monsters howling outside, Sean nodded thoughtfully: "Sure enough, there are also powerful crazy beasts in the sea. The Green Scale Clan probably obtains the blood of the crimson crazy beast through this channel... It's a unique advantage."

He glanced around and immediately spotted a huge jellyfish that was over fifty meters in size.

It is at the peak of Crimson Realm, and its mental strength is almost comparable to Sean at the same level. It seems to have electrical abilities, and should also have water-related talents. In addition, no deep-sea creature dares to approach it within a few hundred meters, which is enough to show how powerful it is.

"Great, I'll take it back as a gift for Jia Jia, it's very suitable." Sean nodded with satisfaction and gestured to the huge jellyfish.

The jellyfish that was swimming leisurely suddenly froze in place, and its sensory organs moved with difficulty before it noticed the smiling human in the passage.

The former overlord of the deep sea was unable to move. No matter how it struggled mentally, it only felt that an invisible giant hand was holding it tightly in its palm.

Sean smiled and said, "You are very suitable for my sister to be promoted to Crimson. Stay here and don't run away. I will kill you when I come back."

The poor jellyfish was stuck in the deep sea, unable to move.

"The effect is best when the blood of the Mad Beast is still fresh, but Jia Jia still needs a long time to reach the peak of the King level. I don't know if I can take this jellyfish back and raise it for a while... Forget it, let's see how it goes."

Sean muttered, no longer paying attention to his surroundings, and swam towards the deepest part of the energy channel.

The further he went down, the more shocked he was. This passage seemed to have no end. It felt like he had been swimming down for tens of thousands of meters, but he still couldn't see the end in front of him.

At this point, the external water pressure is already unimaginable. If the energy channel collapses, ordinary crimson-level warriors will probably be crushed into pieces of paper in an instant.

Sean was naturally not afraid of water pressure, but he was surprised that this energy channel remained stable.

Is this thing really naturally occurring?
At this distance, the surroundings were already pitch black. Even Sean's eyesight could only see less than two hundred meters around him. If it weren't for some luminous underwater creatures, even this distance would be difficult to reach.

In addition to these creatures, the crazy beasts that can be found here are no longer weak, and the small fish hiding in the reefs are also at the peak of the king level. The big fish and sea monsters that can be seen everywhere are all at the crimson level of strength, and the jellyfish encountered before is not rare here.

Even during this period, a huge orange-yellow eye flashed by, and Sean clearly felt a sense of threat, which proved... there were deep blue-level sea beasts in this place!
"There are indeed many terrible things hidden in the deep sea..." Sean marveled and continued to swim downwards.

After swimming for nearly five kilometers again, the surroundings had turned red. This proved that active volcanoes had appeared on the seabed, and all the creatures around had turned into deep red levels, even a palm-sized shrimp!

Sean grabbed one and peeled the shrimp casually. A strong energy and pollution hit his nose, followed by an intense burning sensation.

"This huge seafood can't be eaten..." Sean threw it away regretfully, and it was eaten up by other creatures in an instant.

It is hard to imagine that the Crimson, which is enough to destroy a small city on the ground, is at the bottom of the food chain here.

However, this also means that we are almost at the bottom.

After nearly another thousand meters, the red light brought by the active volcano on the seabed gradually disappeared. Strangely, the surrounding sea water turned into light green mixed with a little blue.

And ahead, Sean finally saw the source of this energy channel which was about 16,000 meters long.

Is that... a tree?

Sean frowned deeply. At the bottom of the energy channel, countless corals grew on the huge seabed, and all the corals were clustered around a giant tree on the seabed.

That giant tree...is almost the same shape as the World Tree!

"There are deep sea species in the World Tree?"

Sean got closer in disbelief. The giant tree attached to the seabed didn't seem to care about the terrible water pressure around it. Each of its branches swayed lightly in the sea water, and even its leaves were shaped like plants on the ground.

The closer he got, the more abundant the energy he could feel. By the time he reached the top of the tree, the energy had turned into a light green gel-like substance. Sean felt like he had entered a giant piece of jelly.

Just as Sean was cautiously preparing to observe again, suddenly, a voice rang out abruptly.

It is not the transmission of consciousness in the mind, but the physical sound that is flowing.

"Oh? Someone actually found his way down here... Hey, wait, I think I've seen you before."

The source of the sound was not hidden. Sean looked over and found that a person had appeared on the treetops at some point.

The man's legs were rooted in the dense foliage, and his entire form was composed of the thick green energy gel around him.

This strange man was looking at Sean curiously, and after noticing Sean's gaze, he greeted him in a friendly manner.

"I have an impression of you. You should have had a close connection with our World Tree Clan."
