As Leo had surveyed before, except for the main beams and pillars of the buildings in the underground palace, the other secondary walls, columns and other parts were all damaged in the previous battle, especially the dome of the underground palace had been destroyed by nearly 90%, and only a few stone walls that were stuck to the rocks on the top of the cave were still intact.

It was precisely because of the damage to the dome that the thing hidden in the dome fell to the ground because of a stone beam that was supported just now, attracting Leo.

I saw that the item dropped was a completely petrified tree tree. It is quite large in shape, about ten meters long and two meters in diameter. It should be the core part of a big tree. The annual rings can be seen at the cross sections of both ends, and many obvious traces of cutting with tools can be seen around it.

If it were just an ordinary petrified tree, it would not attract Leo's attention. The reason why he was attracted was entirely because after hearing the movement, he scanned the underground palace through the spiritual network, but did not find any abnormalities. Until he carefully cut the shape of the ceil, the traces of bumps when the object fell, the indentation of the gravel and dust on the ground, etc., he analyzed that there should be a column on the ground here, which attracted Leo's attention, because the effect of this thing was very similar to the items that blocked him from Sylvia's connection, and perhaps there was something to do with the two.

When he saw this petrified tree, Leo was sure that this thing was not a product of this world, but from other worlds, because in his perception, this thing seemed so out of place with the whole world, just like a drop of oil was dripped into a basin of clear water. Even though both were liquid, it was completely incompatible.

Leo didn't know which world the petrified tree heart tree came from, but he knew very well that the petrified tree heart tree should have come to this world when the non-human alien race was still living in the original continent, and was obtained by the non-human alien race who built this underground palace. It is even possible that this underground palace was specially built to store the petrified tree heart tree.

Because in ancient architecture of this world known to Leo, the place where this petrified tree heart tree is stored is called arch heart in the entire underground palace architectural structure classification. It is the most important part of ancient religious buildings and a special location specially used to store the true body of the gods.

The true body of the gods stored here is not the true body of the gods, but the substitute, because most ancient religions in this world are natural religions, worship some natural creatures, some ferocious beasts, some tall trees, and even some ores. Therefore, in the buildings of this type of primitive natural religion, in addition to placing an anthropomorphic statue in the building, the natural form of worship objects will be placed in the arch position, such as the skull of a certain creature, an unprocessed ore, etc., and this petrified tree heart tree should be the true body of the gods worshipped in this underground palace.

After this analysis, Leo was able to confirm that the petrified tree heart wood in front of him should not be the original form when the underground palace was built, and it may even be that the magical effect of tree heart wood is not what he feels now.

It's very simple. If the Shuxinmu did not give the non-human alien race an extremely shocking appearance and ability at that time, those non-human aliens would not have spent so much manpower and material resources to build such a magnificent underground palace underground to worship this Shuxinmu. Therefore, when the underground palace was built, the Chuxinmu was probably not in a petrified state, but had a more dazzling appearance, and the power it possessed could also be felt and utilized by ordinary people.

However, this tree heart tree is just a piece of residual wood without roots and branches and leaves. Even if it had extremely powerful power at the beginning, it could not withstand the release of time. Over time, the power contained in it will inevitably decay to a point that ordinary people cannot perceive.

This can be seen from the fact that the non-human aliens who built the underground palace left the old continent and migrated to the new continent without taking out the tree heart from the arch of the underground palace. Obviously, the non-human aliens could no longer sense the power of the tree heart wood at that time, and they didn't even know what the purpose of building this underground palace was, so they abandoned the tree heart wood here.

In addition, Leo also felt that although Shu Xinmu was abandoned here, the power it possessed still did not disappear, which was only unaware of by ordinary people. Shu Xinmu's power may have played a role later, such as affecting the progress of the fallen tongue to recover from its injuries, or suppressing the power of the fallen tongue.

Before, when Leo heard Vera and the others tell the complete battle with Fallen Tongue, he felt something abnormal, because at that time, Fallen Tongue did not act like the power that a superior of the abyss should have. Sylvia and the others won too easily. At least Leo knew that Sylvia had several killer moves used to turn the tables in desperate situations, and Fallen Tongue had been defeated. This was obviously completely inconsistent with the strength he knew that the superior of the abyss should have.

The Fallen Tongue Katney is not known for his power among the abyss races. As long as the abyss demon dragon is adult, he can have the strength comparable to any world true god, which is almost equivalent to the Omega-level advanced living body that has just completed evolution. However, the Fallen Tongue Katney needs to go through several world sacrifices to the abyss will and enter old age to have the power of the world true god.

However, the abyss race is the abyss race after all. No matter how weak the abyss race is, there are basically one or two special forces that are powerful enough to compete with the gods. Just like the several desperate powers that Sylvia has, the abyss races that can already travel through different worlds will have a lot of ways to save their lives. When facing the desperate situation, they cannot win, but they can escape.

But from the battle told by Vera and others, the fallen tongue Torto Cartney was unable to escape until the moment he was destroyed, and there was no sign of using any means of saving his life. This is obviously contrary to common sense.

As for the fact that the fallen tongue Torto Katney never had any healing injuries, this is completely incapable of explaining His bad behavior. Moreover, His injuries are very strange. They have not healed for so many years, and even affected His means of saving lives, which is also contrary to common sense.

At that time, Leo had a lot of questions about the performance of the Fallen Tongue Cartney, and he also doubted whether the Fallen Tongue had any help. He deceived Vera and the others, so he took the initiative to come here for Vera to clear away the power of the abyss remaining here.

However, after seeing this tree heart tree hidden in the heart of the underground palace and unable to be perceived by any force, he felt that he might have found the reason why the fallen tongue's power was abnormal and his injuries had not healed for a long time. If external forces were interfered with, then all his previous questions would be answered.

Because this petrified tree heart wood has the effect of affecting any extraordinary power, it cannot be investigated by any method, which makes Leo not sure whether there are other mysterious forces contained in this tree heart wood and whether these forces are harmful to him. So even though he is interested in this thing, he did not touch it directly.

After walking around the tree heart tree for two circles, he began to think about how to move the tree heart tree without danger and transport it to a suitable place for research.

For this reason, he climbed to the arch position of the underground palace where the tree heart wood was stored before, and wanted to see how the former non-human aliens stored this tree heart wood.

However, the result disappointed him a little because the place was very simple, just a container similar to a sarcophagus, with nothing else worth paying attention to, and there was no extraordinary power or anything.

Although he had not found anything valuable, he at least knew that stones could be used as containers to store this petrified tree heart tree.

So he directly looked for a stone pillar with a pretty good shape in the underground palace, made a stone support that was sunken inward, and then dug a tunnel beside Shuxinmu that just could accommodate Shuxinmu. A slope was dug at both ends of the tunnel, and a corridor was dug out at the bottom.

Although this is definitely a big project for ordinary people, it is very simple for Leo and it was completed in less than an hour.

Afterwards, he placed the stone support in the middle of the tunnel, that is, the middle of the tree heart wood, and then returned to the top and picked up a stone directly. Without touching the tree heart wood, he pushed the tree heart wood into the tunnel, and fell into the groove of the stone support, which was stuck and stopped rolling.

Seeing that Shu Xinmu was stuck as he thought, Leo entered the aisle at the bottom of the tunnel from both ends, bent down to the bottom of the stone support. After choosing a suitable lifting position, he carried the stone support directly together with Shu Xinmu above, then slowly walked out of the tunnel, avoided some obstacles, entered the passage leading to the underground cave at the contact point, and walked forward.

Fortunately, this tunnel is straight and there is no turning point, so Leo also walked smoothly on a ten-meter-long tree. The only obstacle is that some obstacles are the soil, not rocks, and he cannot bear the weight transmitted by his feet, which forced him to use his psychic skills to solidify the soil under his feet before he could walk over smoothly.

When exerting psychic energy, Leo also discovered a characteristic of Shuxinmu, that is, it has a certain strengthening effect on psychic energy. Although this strengthening effect cannot make the final effect of the psychic skill change qualitatively, it reduces the consumption of psychic energy to a certain extent.

However, even after discovering this, Leo did not think about using this thing to make a psionic amplification device, because the strengthening effect of the tree heart wood seems to only target psychic energy, and any other power, even the power aura of the stone throne, will be interfered by it, making these forces in an unstable state after being exerted. Moreover, this interference does not need to be directly removed, but only needs to exist within its range. As for how large its range is, Leo is not clear yet, and can only speculate that it should be within a few meters around the tree heart wood.

Soon Leo returned to Sylvia's cave where he was recuperating. He did not intend to put things in the crypt, but wanted to bypass Sylvia and continue to walk from the passage towards the warehouse of the contact office above.

However, this idea changed quickly, because Leo found that when he was carrying the tree heart wood around Sylvia, Shu Xinmu did not touch Sylvia, and was several meters away from Sylvia. Just within the range of the interference effect of Shu Xinmu, the abyss magic dragon aura of Sylvia's body began to calm down. He could also clearly see that Sylvia's painful expression eased.

In order to verify his guess, Leo carried Shuxinmu and got closer to Sylvia. At this time, Sylvia's reaction was even more obvious. The power of the abyss demon dragon that was out of control due to the surge in his body was greatly affected. This effect was not considered suppression, but more like interference, making the power of the abyss demon dragon loosen.

After discovering this, Leo immediately had a new idea in his heart. He carried Shuxinmu to an open space not far from the cave, then took out a sacrifice knife and cut Shuxinmu.

Although this petrified tree heart tree has an interference effect on any kind of force, this interference effect is also different. It is obvious that the power contained in the sacrifice knife can still maintain its effect while being disturbed. Moreover, the sharp power of the sacrifice knife itself is not disturbed. When cutting the tree heart tree, it is still like a model made of soft mud, and it is easily broken down into more than a dozen pieces of different sizes.

As Leo predicted in advance, even if the petrified tree heart wood is cut into pieces, the power contained in it will not be affected too much, but it is just a little reduced in scope, but this is not a big problem for Leo.

Afterwards, Leo carried the fragments with a stone support and placed them near different locations of Sylvia's body. Then he made several stone covers that did not affect their effect to prevent Sylvia from touching these fragments of the tree heart when she moved her body.

The locations where the tree heart wood fragments were placed were not selected by Leo at will. It was selected by Leo after sensing the abnormal situation in Sylvia's body. The power of the abyss demon dragons in these places was as solid as rocks. Sylvia could only use water grinding to wipe it out bit by bit to completely digest these uncontrolled abyss demon dragon powers, and this took a long time to do so.

Now, with these petrified tree heart wood assistance that can affect the power of the abyss demon dragon, the power of the solid abyss demon dragon has become loose, and Sylvia's conditioning and absorption of these forces has also been much easier. This can be seen from the painful expression that Sylvia is about to completely fade. It is estimated that it will only take less than five days at most, Sylvia should be able to completely control the power of the abyss demon dragon in her body. At that time, Leo will be able to cast a spell to block its power and restore it to its original human form.
