.,!

Seeing Fang Senyan's resolute attitude, clearly after careful consideration, Old Alam didn't waste words. He directly called his tribesmen to lead Fang Senyan to a wide wooden shed on the outskirts of the village. The wooden shed was practically open on all sides. In the middle was a tree trunk split in half, covered in purplish-black blood. The surrounding ground was littered with clumps of brown matter, broken bones, rotten meat, fish scales, and fish entrails. A pungent stench filled the air, likely because this was where Kumu Port processed its prey.

Old Alam went to fetch a bowl of black medicine, instructing Fang Senyan to open his mouth and drink it. Fang Senyan grimaced from the bitterness. At the same time, a prompt appeared: "You are about to participate in the Dubaiya Royal Family's secret ritual: Babu Babura."

"While performing this ritual, your defense will be reduced to that of a normal person in the real world. This effect has domain priority."

"Too much calculable data, too many variable factors, unable to assess the consequences of this ritual. It is recommended that Identification Number 1018 immediately terminate this process and contact the Space using military rank privileges. You will receive an additional 100 merit points as a reward. If it proves to be truly valuable, the reward may be increased at discretion."

"You may encounter inexplicable unknown dangers while performing this ritual!"

"Do you wish to continue with this ritual?"

Upon seeing this prompt, Fang Senyan was immediately stunned. He immediately thought of the several unknown oddities he had previously obtained. These items could also be sold to the Space for merit points. The Space's description of them was: unknown oddities are mutated species that appear in extremely rare circumstances, so the Space does not yet have relevant data and they have a certain research value.

Fang Senyan immediately considered his current situation: Firstly, the Babu Babura ritual being performed was almost lost to time. After being passed down through so many generations, it was likely that Old Alam's restoration of it was only superficially accurate. This thing had probably mutated to the point where the Space had no related data.

Secondly, there was his own talent: Bastion. Not to mention the multiple data judgment errors it had caused in combat records, even attacks with various priorities couldn't override it. Even a fool would know that this thing was abnormal and problematic.

Finally, there was the half-dead Solar Ladder sapling. Its data should have been normal, but this guy was supposed to have been strangled by its mother, but Fang Senyan brought it out and first absorbed a large piece of meteorite fragment, then was bitten by the Ouroboros and injected with venom, and finally turned around and devoured the Ouroboros's flesh. The peculiarity of this thing's experiences couldn't be calculated through normal channels. It should have been categorized as an unknown oddity long ago, and perhaps a very high-level one at that.

The variables created by the combination of these three things, Fang Senyan was almost certain, were likely unprecedented. Therefore, the 100 merit points offered by the Space, or even more rewards, were not too much.

More importantly, even if the merit points continued to increase to 200 or 500, Fang Senyan still couldn't be tempted, because once he took the reward, he would likely expose his talent that "frequently caused data errors in the Space" to the light! Once this led to his talent being "corrected", no amount of merit points could make up for it!

Therefore, Fang Senyan very simply drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp and decisively chose to continue. He immediately felt a cold sensation sliding down his throat, and the flesh it passed lost all sensation. Within a few minutes, Fang Senyan felt that he couldn't move at all, similar to general anesthesia on an operating table in the real world, but his mind was exceptionally clear.

The Nightmare Imprint's prompt was transmitted again: "The Babu Babura ritual has officially begun! From now on, any action you take other than speaking softly will cause the ritual to fail, including returning to the Space, using items, using any abilities, etc."

"Warning: Failure of the Babu Babura ritual has a high probability of causing your death!"

Old Alam began to perform a mysterious dance around Fang Senyan with a group of natives, constantly raising the things in their hands and shouting loudly. Next, Old Alam somehow pulled out a very sharp, polished golden knife, took out a drinking vessel made from a human skull, took a sip of the turbid liquid inside, and "puffed" it onto the blade, then with a flash of gold, stabbed it towards Fang Senyan's chest!

At this time, Fang Senyan's defense had been reduced to that of a normal person in the real world. In addition, Old Alam's strength seemed to be quite powerful, definitely not weaker than Mbengha at his peak. Therefore, this knife easily pierced Fang Senyan's chest,

Easily opening Fang Senyan's rib cage. It was unknown if it was because of the bowl of medicine that Fang Senyan had drunk, but the amount of bleeding was surprisingly small.

Old Alam used a little force with both hands to pry open Fang Senyan's cut rib cage, exposing the organs below. One could even see Fang Senyan's red heart beating powerfully, sending blood to all parts of the body.

He loudly chanted mysterious incantations, then took the skull drinking vessel from before and poured a little of the liquid onto Fang Senyan's wound. Then, he casually took the Solar Ladder sapling that had been bitten half to death by the Ouroboros, soaked it in the skull drinking vessel and swished it around. It could be seen that its surface was immediately cleaned, and not only that, but even the soil on the fine roots was washed clean, and the hair-thin roots were clearly visible.

Immediately afterwards, Old Alam directly placed this sapling under Fang Senyan's rib cage. It could be seen that this originally dying sapling lay prostrate in the center of the blood and flesh of the chest. After its roots came into contact with the flesh, they began to rapidly grow, climb, and advance along the internal blood vessels of the human body, like the tendrils of ivy! It seemed as if every major blood vessel had a root swirling and clinging to it! Extending all the way to the depths of the body!

Fang Senyan's life energy and flesh were rapidly absorbed by the sapling at this moment, and the sapling began to grow rapidly! Transforming from near death to vigorous. Obviously, if it were allowed to continue like this, Fang Senyan's only end would be to become "fertilizer"!

At this time, Fang Senyan simply closed his eyes and resigned himself to fate. Even the most thick-skinned person couldn't bear such a scene. After the roots of the Solar Ladder sapling had almost spread to all of Fang Senyan's blood vessels, Old Alam suddenly roared like a beast, completely incomprehensible. The golden knife was constantly passed from his left hand to his right hand, and then from his right hand to his left hand, drawing bright little circles in the air, which was quite beautiful.

He began to walk around Fang Senyan in large strides, staring unblinkingly at his chest. Suddenly, Old Alam's golden knife struck!

This strike was as fast as lightning, it was difficult to describe the astonishing speed. With a flash of light, the knife had pierced into the main stem of the Solar Ladder that had already grown in Fang Senyan's body, cutting off and throwing away a bulging nodule! But it did not harm Fang Senyan's own flesh!

Suddenly, all the branches of the Solar Ladder trembled violently, even moaned, for a long time before calming down! Then it fell into silence. But the branches and roots that had merged into Fang Senyan's body still clung to the blood vessels and meridians, instinctively absorbing the necessary nutrients.

It turned out that the Solar Ladder could be said to be a very peculiar creature. Most of the time it was rooted in the ground and grew, and could carry out an effect similar to photosynthesis, but it would also dissolve and eat meat like a spider. It could stay quietly in one place for a long time without moving, but it would also frantically whip its enemies with its branches and leaves when it felt threatened.

It followed its plant instincts to flower and pollinate, but its offspring were viviparous.

It had the sense of crisis and thinking ability of higher animals, and would even take the initiative to strangle its own seedlings when there was insufficient living space!

It could be said that this thing completely confused the classification of plants and animals, becoming a creature that crossed the boundary between plants and animals. And Old Alam's blow was to cut out the "true nodule" of this Solar Ladder... the true nodule to the Solar Ladder, is like the brain to humans... once a person loses their brain, they will inevitably die, but because of the Solar Ladder's semi-plant characteristics, losing the true nodule is like a so-called vegetative person, losing the ability to think and act, completely attached to Fang Senyan's vascular system and lymphatic system.

If this ritual succeeds, then the Solar Ladder will undoubtedly become the fourth largest system in Fang Senyan's body besides the blood, nervous, and lymphatic systems!

Of course, there is still a crucial difficulty in this, that is, the rejection of the human immune system. The human body will reject all foreign objects that invade its body. For example, if bacteria infect the body, the immune system will remove them. In fact, at least 90% of a person's health is completed by the immune system, and only 10% is by drugs.

From this, one can see the importance of the immune system.!
