Chapter 1348 Contract Termination Failure
Liang Lu was shocked by the magnificent spectacle of the main body of the tree in the room.
At the same time, looking at the "blades" that were moving without wind, he recognized those "blades" as the [Life and Death Contract] they had purchased.
For some reason, Lianglu always felt that the tree inside looked a bit wilted.
He looked like he had been beaten up; he was completely listless.
It must just be his imagination, right?
After all, that's the origin of the [Life and Death Contract], how powerful must it be!
How could anyone possibly be able to beat this thing up?
Liang Lu put that unreliable idea out of his mind.
Then, he shifted his gaze to Sun Wukong beside him.
"How much time do I have left?"
After remaining silent for a long time, Liang Lu finally mustered up the courage to ask Sun Wukong such a question.
If possible, what else would he like to do for Sun Wukong in his limited time?
Anyway, as long as Sun Wukong can avenge him in the end, that's all that matters.
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong did not answer the question directly, but instead brought up another idea.
"Have you ever thought about breaking the shackles imposed on you by the [Life and Death Contract]?" Sun Wukong asked Liang Lu.
His idea was to use the power of the Mother to retrieve the [Life and Death Contract] from Liang Lu's body.
As long as the balance is maintained properly, the [Life and Death Contract] within Liang Lu's body will no longer drain the other party's meager life force.
Although the lifespan that has been lost cannot be made up.
However, at least Lianglu didn't have to wait for the [Life and Death Contract] to fully mature before he died on the spot.
Liang Lu was deeply moved after hearing Sun Wukong's idea.
If possible, that would be even better.
After all, if one could live, who would want to die willingly?
But... for now, this is just a guess, isn't it?
Can they really do this with the help of the mother tree?
He didn't have high expectations for it.
Sun Wukong saw that Liang Lu was backing down, thought about it, and finally decided to tell the truth:
"To be honest, I'm not very confident about the success rate of this idea."
"So, if you agree, you'll definitely be the test subject."
"The dangers involved are self-evident."
Sun Wukong paused here, as if organizing his thoughts.
After hearing what Sun Wukong said, Liang Lu nodded in understanding.
Then, without waiting for Sun Wukong to continue persuading him, he finally mustered up his courage and nodded in agreement.
Liang Lu, feigning nonchalance, crossed his arms and said with a smile:
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well help you one last time before I die. That would be doing justice to my identity as a mission taker."
"But let's get this straight, you have to help me raze this lousy base to the ground and avenge me!"
He was afraid that Sun Wukong would forget about this.
If he weren't ignorant of psychic magic, he would have loved to have Sun Wukong cast a covenant spell.
If Sun Wukong didn't do this, then make him suffer a fate worse than death.
Sun Wukong nodded solemnly and promised Liang Lu earnestly, "Don't worry, this base won't last long. I keep my word!"
Once he figured out the origins of everything in this base, there would be no need for the base to exist anymore.
It must be said that Liang Lu was quite satisfied with Sun Wukong's reaction.
He readily lay back down on the lab table, closed his eyes tightly, and mumbled:
"In that case, let's get started! The sooner we succeed, the less suffering I'll have to endure!"
Of course I'm afraid, but what's the use of being afraid now?
Regardless of Sun Wukong's actual strength.
He has no other choice but to believe in Sun Wukong.
Seeing Liang Lu in this state, Sun Wukong twitched his lips but didn't say anything more.
As Liang Lu said, the sooner it's finished, the sooner it's over.
If Liang Lu had succeeded sooner, he would have suffered less.
Having developed a complete research plan, Sun Wukong quickly got to work and attempted to remove the mark from Liang Lu's body.
He proceeded steadily, using magic to peel away the "brand" that the [Life and Death Contract] had placed on his soul, bit by bit.
This is not an easy job.
It even tests one's patience to a great extent.
Sun Wukong could only remove them bit by bit.
This took him two whole days to finally bring the entire elimination process to 99%.
Just as Sun Wukong was about to succeed in eliminating the last one percent, an unexpected event occurred.
The once quiet "mark" suddenly began to move, as if it knew its own future.
The "mark" is rebelling against its impending fate.
Thus, it penetrates even deeper into the soul of Lianglu, and it does not want to leave such a good breeding ground.
What made Sun Wukong feel even worse was that, as if sensing a threat, the "mark" began to forcibly connect to the body of the [Life and Death Contract].
Although only half of the [Life and Death Contract] remained in the room, it had already been suppressed by Sun Wukong.
However, this "mark" was so cunning that it managed to forcibly link with the main body right under Sun Wukong's nose.
At the moment the "blade" successfully connected with the main body, Liang Lu, who had been sleeping peacefully, seemed to be greatly stimulated.
Liang Lu suddenly opened his eyes, which were now bloodshot. In his pupils, there was a faint shadow of a bony tree.
In the blink of an eye, Liang Lu's personal will was completely and instantly shattered by the powerful invasion of the [Life and Death Contract] entity.
At this moment, the consciousness of the transformed being revived in Liang Lu's body, and Liang Lu's entire being began to transform into a tree.
His skin had a rough, woody texture, and his joints even had bony thorns that resembled those of the mother tree.
"Hehe... I didn't expect you to know so much..."
The being that had seized Liang Lu's memories let out a strange laugh.
It seems Sun Wukong cares a lot about Lianglu's life or death!
The experimental subject was on the verge of death, yet Sun Wukong still tried to save him.
It would be a real shame not to make use of such important information.
He felt that controlling Sun Wukong would be a piece of cake.
He even felt that even if he couldn't control Sun Wukong, he wouldn't lose out.
Now, he can forcibly link to other "tags" whenever he wants.
Furthermore, he can also invoke his will upon the “marked” bodies he has linked to.
If Sun Wukong were to become enraged and decide to kill him, it would be even easier for him to escape.
In other words, he is now in a position where he can both attack and defend.
In that case, why not take a big gamble?
If he wins this bet, he'll be a winner in life.
