Chapter 620 Giants, Ancient Trees
After hearing Leo's reminder, Sylvia and Selan, who were still focused on the nature walker, also noticed that the cold wind that had penetrated through the gap in the frozen layer of the corpse had disappeared.
This made both of them very happy, and they were about to stand up, open the frozen monster corpses above their heads, and leave this narrow, closed pit.
However, just as they made a move, they saw Leo suddenly put his hand on their shoulders and pushed them back to the ground.
Because the two of them were unprepared, they looked a little awkward sitting on the ground. Sylvia looked at it with some annoyance. When Leo was about to ask him what he meant by doing this, he saw an astonishing scene.
I saw two lines of blood on Leo's nose, eyes and ears respectively. Sylvia was shocked and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I saw something I shouldn't have seen." Leo shook his head, then motioned the two of them not to ask any more questions, and said softly: "Don't talk, and go out later."
"What happened outside?" Sylvia couldn't help but ask.
Leo wiped the blood on his face and said: "A being similar to a god is walking outside. The snowstorm just now should be caused by him."
When Sylvia and Selan heard this, they both showed expressions of surprise and curiosity. They had the urge to open the frozen corpse above their heads, but their rationality kept telling them the fatal danger of doing so.
Leo also sat on the ground, closed his eyes to rest, and recovered from the trauma he had just suffered. Although it was the second time, this time it was much more serious than the previous one, because he did not see with his eyes, but directly through his spirit.
The net sensed this omega-level advanced life form, and the backlash naturally affected his spirit through the connection with the spiritual net.
If he hadn't cut off the connection with the mental network in a very timely manner and cut off his perception of the outside world, he might have been hurt even more now, and he might even have become an idiot.
The Omega-level advanced life form that Leo saw was exactly the god-like existence he saw just after entering the Asheli Forest. However, compared with that time, this existence no longer made footsteps, but
It's a snowstorm.
The reason why Leo didn't notice this dangerous existence before he was injured is because this time this Omega-level advanced life form was like a feather without making any sound, and the blizzard was created by him when he walked, and he was also hidden in the blizzard.
, when the blizzard passed, his figure was also revealed, which made Leo, who had been paying attention to the external situation, not have time to take back the spiritual network, and suffered a heavy loss.
Although Leo only sensed a little energy fluctuation emitted by that being, he was able to confirm his identity from this distinctive energy fluctuation.
However, what puzzles the cautious and suspicious Leo is how this Omega-level advanced life form suddenly appears here again. Is it an accident, a coincidence, or is it coming for him?
However, this guess just popped into his mind and was immediately rejected by him. Although he knew that his body was special and attracted the attention of many gods, it was not enough to allow such a powerful existence of a true god to follow him all the way.
If the other party really wanted to do something to him, it would be an easy task to find him.
The pit became quiet, and the three of them seemed to have lost interest in talking. They were all quietly waiting for the terrifying being above to leave.
I don't know how much time passed, but Leo felt that everything should be fine outside, so he tried to release the mental net to check, and released supernormal perception to sense the situation in the outside world. After repeatedly confirming that everything was fine, he said to the two of them.
: "Okay, we can go up."
After saying that, he directly used psychic energy to blast away the frozen corpse on top.
The layer of corpses that was forcibly broken apart was like glass and shattered into small pieces, falling from the air. Although I had been staying in the corpse cave before, I didn't feel anything wrong, but these small pieces of corpses
The two of them felt sick when it fell on them. They hurriedly shook off the broken bones and flesh that fell on them, while glaring at Leo complainingly.
Leo ignored the complaints from the two women. When he saw that the obstacle above had been removed, he got out of the hole and looked around.
"It seems to be no different from before. It's still a snowy scene with endless horizons." The two women behind him also climbed up and looked around before saying.
"Look up there." Leo pointed to the sky.
Hearing this, the two of them looked up, and the sight that caught their eyes shocked them, and their expressions became different.
I saw that the sky above my head had opened a huge hole at this moment, and the branches and leaves belonging to the ancient trees continued to fall down in the hole. Before they fell on the ground, they turned into endless snowflakes, floating to this layer of the world.
Every place.
But not all the broken plant leaves turned into snowflakes, there were still many plant branches and leaves that fell to the ground, and some of these plant branches and leaves changed rapidly after falling to the ground, turning into monsters. After these monsters were formed,
He immediately got up from the ground and rushed towards the distant mountain peak where the head of eternal wisdom was buried.
"Is that the origin of these monsters?" Selan couldn't help but exclaimed in shock when he saw a piece of wood in the distance hit the ground, then kneaded and reorganized like soft mud, and turned into a monster.
"Is this what the church calls creation?" Sylvia quickly thought of the legends in various churches that mentioned that the gods worked together to create everything in the world. She used to sneer at those legends, but first she saw
A tree limb turned into a living monster in front of her. This scene completely subverted her previous concepts.
"No." Leo shook his head, denying Sylvia's guess, because he had also seen similar creation legends, but this situation looked the same as the creation, but in fact it was completely different.
All things about creation in myths and legends are that gods draw power from the void and create life out of nothing. However, this is obviously not out of nothing, but more like some kind of material transformation, turning trees into other organic matter.
"No, it's not just a matter of material transformation." Leo saw that the monster transformed from a tree turned out to be a cosmic creature she knew. This made his mind wander, and he couldn't help but look at it with a scrutinizing look.
Take a look at the old trees.
If it were just a monster that couldn't be seen, Leo wouldn't be suspicious, even if it was a monster from Velen's world.
But now, among the monsters transformed from tree fragments, there are actually creatures in the universe. If you want to transform such creatures, the trees must have detailed data such as genetic cells and appearance of such creatures, so Leo suspected that ancient
Trees probably possess a large number of biological genes from various planets in the universe.
If it is true as he guessed, then this ancient tree, which is the landmark of Asheli Forest, may contain more profound meanings.
Although a big hole opened in the sky, this big hole did not exist for long. The branches and vines of the ancient tree quickly filled up the huge hole, and thick fog sprayed out from the branches and leaves, forming a
Clouds and mist cover the entire sky again.
"What are we going to do now?" Sylvia looked away from the vision in the sky and turned to Leo and asked.
Leo didn't answer, turned to look at Selan, and asked: "Ms. Selan, what's your decision?"
"Well!" Selan thought for a moment and said, "I think I can encounter some interesting things by following you. It's a bit too boring for me to go back alone, so I'd better follow you to see the remains of that god!"
Now that the decision has been made, Leo also happily accepted Seran's joining. From the previous cooperation, it can be seen that Seran is also very capable and knows how to cooperate. After joining, he will have more strength to deal with possible situations.
Accident.
In this way, the group of people continued to walk towards the mountain peak in the distance.
At the same time, the king-selecter Saran and the forest banshee Denise Frank stood on a high mountain, watching a giant emerge from the cracked earth, and then slowly walked away into the distance.
Although it is a taboo for prisoners to look directly at gods, even a powerful person like the King Chosen cannot avoid the absolute suppression of life registration, but she has used some special methods to transfer the suppressive power from life registration to other places.
This allowed her to clearly see every move of the giant.
However, the banshee in the forest did not have that ability. After the giant came out, she immediately closed her eyes and blocked any senses and intuition. She could judge whether the giant had completely left through the vibration of the ground.
When Saran saw that the giant had walked away, he immediately said to his fellow witches who had not yet clearly sensed it: "Hurry up, we don't have much time left."
"Don't worry, I promise we still have a lot of time." Denise opened her eyes and looked at the blurry giant figure in the distance. She breathed a sigh of relief, then signaled to Saran to be calm and follow her.
A mist spread out from her body, and then wrapped Saran.
After that, the mist disappeared from the place, and not long after, it appeared on the edge of the pit where the giant climbed out, and was restored to two large living people.
After returning to her normal human form, Denise couldn't help but frown, because although the giant had left, a lot of the giant's life energy still remained here, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Look for it quickly, that thing can't be kept for too long and will disappear soon." Saran urged Denise, then took out two crystal boxes, handed one to Denise and said, "As soon as you find it, you'll find it."
Put it in this crystal box and seal it when the time comes, and it can be stored for a long time."
"Okay, got it." Denise didn't say anything more, so she started looking for the crystal box along the edge of this bottomless hole.
Saran did not stay where he was, but also searched in the opposite direction of Denise's search direction.
Soon Saran had something to gain. With the experience of searching, she was as keen as a falcon and found a blood-red fruit the size of a fingernail. After finding the fruit, she did not put it into the crystal box.
Instead, he couldn't wait and ate it directly.
Just after she ate the fruit, the wrinkles on her face and the white hair on her temples were reduced, and her overall spirit became much better, not as tired as she looked before.
Saran felt the changes in her body. Even without looking in the mirror, she knew the changes on her face, and a smile emerged.
After that, she continued to search quickly along the edge of the crack until she met Denise, and found seven of them in total. Denise, perhaps because of her special ability as a forest banshee, found more of these fruits.
"How many potions can I make from these fruits?" Denise asked without giving the things to Saran immediately.
"Five bottles." Saran looked at the fruits inside and quickly gave the answer.
"So few." Denise frowned and said dissatisfied.
"There are already quite a few." Saran explained: "It is difficult to keep this kind of fruit for a long time. If you want to keep it for a long time and use it when needed, you need to make them into a potion. Although this fruit is the main ingredient of the potion,
But other materials for making potions are also very important, and their value will not be much less than it. It is enough to make five bottles for you. With these five bottles of potions, you will not have to worry about your appearance for at least a hundred years.
.”
Denise thought for a moment and finally handed the crystal box to Saran and said, "When can I get it?"
"One month later." Saran answered Denise's question while carefully putting away the crystal box.
Denise suddenly had some questions: "Since you know that this kind of fruit grows underground, why don't we look for it underground? With my ability, as long as there is no special environment, I can freely go in and out among the plants, underground
The same goes for the ancient trees and vines.”
Saran glanced at Denise lightly and said, "Who told you that fruits grow from ancient trees?"
"Isn't it grown on an ancient tree?" Denise asked doubtfully.
"Of course not," Saran shook his head, pointed in the direction where the giant disappeared, and said: "This fruit was mutated after being contaminated with the power of the giant. It can only be obtained after the giant climbs up from the lower level of the ancient tree.
Sometimes, some strange powers are used when destroying ancient branches, leaves and vines. Those powers will infect the surrounding trees and fruits, and some of the fruits will eventually mutate into the blood fruits we have in our hands now."
Denise nodded in understanding, then asked curiously: "Are those infected trees?"
Saran was silent for a moment, and then said with some fear: "The infected trees will be assimilated by the ancient trees on our level, but they will turn into monsters on the level below." As she said that, she turned to Dan.
Nisi said: "We have to go to the next level now to collect another side medicine for making potions. You'd better help me so that I can collect more. Maybe I can refine one for you.
Bottle of potion."
"You've already said this, can I still refuse?" Denise looked at Saran as if looking at a profiteer, then reached out and grabbed Saran's arm and said: "Let's go! This place is not far away.
The nearest entrance is still some distance away."
