Ben10: I can evolve infinitely! - Chapter 374
c384 Guardian
The Explosive Frog opened its mouth and bit the tree man’s head.
Its sharp teeth instantly tore off half of the tree man’s head.
“Roar!”
The tree man was furious, stretched out his rough palm, and slapped the Explosive Frog.
The Explosive Frog grinned. Facing the strong wind, he was not afraid at all. He opened his mouth and bit the tree man’s palm.
With a sound of “crackling!”
The big front teeth of the Explosive Frog were like sharp scissors, biting off the tree man’s palm, then chewed it twice and swallowed it into his stomach.
The belly of the Explosive Frog suddenly ignited a dark green light, as if there was a “time bomb” that was brewing wildly.
Boom!
The Explosive Frog spit out an energy ball, which was rolled with strong stomach acid and directly smashed the tree man’s head.
The terrifying stomach acid was full of corrosiveness and quickly “erase” the tree man’s head fragments.
However, the tree man without a head was still able to move.
It waved its hands like a headless fly, losing its target.
“Look, I’ll eat you up.”
The Explosive Frog smiled evilly, touched its belly, and then jumped onto the tree man, opened its mouth, and spewed out a large number of tentacles, which wrapped around the tree man’s body parts and continuously rolled it into its body.
The Explosive Frog ate and vomited at the same time.
After a while, the tree man was wiped out completely, leaving no residue.
“What a cruel alien.” Tian Mark couldn’t help but say.
“Cousin, will you really not feel sick if you eat like that?” Xiaoban looked worried.
“Ugh~” The Explosive Frog scratched his head, “Not at all.”
“Wow! What a cute alien hero!”
Xiaowen came over and touched the head of the Explosive Frog. She was now as tall as the Explosive Frog, and the two looked like children.
The Explosive Frog lowered his eyes and sighed, “It’s not funny at all. Next time I’ll turn into a mighty alien.”
“Hey, have you guys finished talking?” The long-haired man was still hanging on the tree at this time, looking hopeless, “Come and save me when you’re done.”
The Explosive Frog spit out a stream of stomach acid, corroded the rope above, and saved the long-haired man.
Bang!
The long-haired man fell flat on his face.
“Thank you.” The long-haired man covered his head and stood up with difficulty, “Although it hurts a little…”
“Hazed Corpse, what is his purpose?” Xiaowen pouted and asked.
“His purpose is the Fountain of Youth.” The long-haired man sighed, “And I am the guardian of the Fountain of Youth.”
“The Fountain of Youth, so we are like this now, all because of you?” Xiaoban looked unkind, feeling like he would explode at any time.
The long-haired man looked down at the short Xiaoban, his body trembled, and he was a little scared.
——Are all children of this age so difficult to deal with?
The long-haired man shook his head, “I have warned you not to play that game, but you still want to play it.”
“Okay, Xiaoban, now is not the time to talk about this. We should first find a way to deal with the corpse.” Tian Mark patted Xiaoban on the shoulder.
“Yes, the corpse should go to find the fountain of youth now. If he gets all the holy water, his magic power will reach its peak.” Jiang Chen said slowly.
“But that monster is so powerful, how can we stop him?” The guardian looked bitter.
He has lived for so many years and has never seen such a terrible guy.
Maybe the corpse is really the legendary dark magician?
“Don’t worry.” Xiaowen smiled gently, her voice as sweet as a nightingale, “We have our cousin here, a mere corpse, what’s the big deal?”
“That’s right, if it doesn’t work, turn into a super giant and beat the corpse, hehe!” Xiaoban said viciously.
The guardian was stunned, “Well, it seems that we are in different worlds…”
Obviously, the conversation between Xiaoban and others has exceeded the guardian’s cognition.
……
Remote forest.
On the lush branches, many reptiles live, slowly crawling, eating leaves and fruits.
Led by the guardian, the group headed towards the fountain of youth.
“When was the fountain of youth discovered?” Jiang Chen looked at the guardian beside him.
“In fact, Delion discovered the Fountain of Youth…” The guardian’s eyes showed melancholy, “but they said that the Fountain of Youth must be kept secret and not known to the outside world, otherwise the world will be in chaos.”
“Finally, they carefully selected me to be the guardian of the Fountain of Youth and keep this secret forever.”
Hearing this, Xiaowen opened her mouth in shock, “In other words, you are now more than 400 years old?”
“Yes, constantly drinking the Fountain of Youth makes me stay young and immortal.” The guardian nodded, but there was no pride on his face.
“Immortality… That’s a dream come true!” Tian Mark couldn’t help but sigh.
Throughout the ages, many people have wanted to find a way to “immortality”, but in the end, without exception, they all failed.
Even Qin Shihuang of Daxia had sought the elixir of immortality, but until the moment before his death, he failed to achieve his wish.
The guardian was slightly stunned, “A dream come true? No, no, it’s a nightmare.”
“Why?”
“I can never fall in love, nor can I have a family like yours, because they will grow old, but I won’t.” The guardian looked at his tender hands with a painful look in his eyes.
In these hundreds of years, he was like a walking corpse, without love, family, or friends.
For him, immortality is a kind of torture.
“Loneliness” is like a vicious monster, devouring him every moment. Although it can’t take away his face, it takes away his soul.
An immortal body without a “soul” is no different from being dead.
In this regard, Jiang Chen could only sigh slightly. If it were him, facing hundreds of years of loneliness, he would probably not be able to bear it, right?
“Time is your friend, not your enemy.” The guardian suddenly raised his hand, his eyes calm, and said: “Please cherish everything you have.”
“Cherish everything you have now…” Jiang Chen murmured to himself, thinking, “Well, I will.”
“But, since you can drink the holy water yourself, you can also give it to your family!” Xiaowen looked at the guardian in confusion, “In this way, they will not grow old, and you don’t have to live alone.”
The guardian shook his head, “I have promised Delion to keep the secret of the fountain of youth, and I can’t reveal it to anyone unless it’s a matter of life and death.”
“So that’s it.” Tian Mark immediately understood.
“My feet hurt so much! I don’t want to go on! I’m so tired!”
The young class protested, he couldn’t stand it after walking such a long way.
“Don’t act like a baby anymore.” Xiaowen turned around and changed her words: “Oh no, you are.”
Jiang Chen shrugged.
The two of them have become smaller, but they still like to bicker.
The crowd continued to move forward.
At this point, they had come to a dense forest of vines…
