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.
“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.
