Chapter 5 The Pain that Touches the Soul
"Is this tree a spirit?" Aoki murmured in his heart.
Originally, the twelve sub-trees formed a circular [Net of Thoughts], which could clearly detect the area covered by thoughts.
However, when one tree was transplanted by official researchers earlier, there was a gap in the [Net of Thoughts]. Now this situation occurs again, and the area covered by the [Net of Thoughts] has lost a large part.
This made Aoki very uncomfortable.
It tried over and over again to penetrate the tree possessed by Wu Siyuan, but it was unable to successfully break through the barrier. As soon as it touched the tree, it was ejected.
Not only did he make no progress, but he was shocked to the point of dizziness every time.
Who is Wu Siyuan?
In the world of "Beast Blood Boiling", he relied on the shortcut of [Blood Magic] to achieve the realm of Shengxiao Mage, and then relied on the Silk Continent's [Nine Turns Golden Pill] to achieve almost everything in the world of Beast Blood. A demigod state that has never been seen before (not counting the crystal astronauts).
This is a state that even the original male protagonist Liu Zhenshao has not reached.
Although when he left that world, all his magic power was transformed into the six-headed beast, but his mental strength was permanently enhanced.
If Wu Siyuan's mental strength before was like a sponge, then Wu Siyuan's current mental strength is like steel that has been tempered over time.
Although Qingmu is now the body of the [World Tree] and has a very high status, it has not really grown up yet and can only be regarded as a seedling. How can it break up Wu Siyuan's will when he resists?
Aoki is also a stubborn guy, and he experimented for several days, torturing himself until he was exhausted, until he saw that the animals and plants in the entire valley were tortured until they were almost extinct due to this drought that was rare in a century. , then he stopped this useless action and temporarily turned his attention to finding underground water sources.
It fully activates the functions of the whole body and transports all the generated resources to the tentacle that penetrates the deepest part of the earth.
I saw that at the lowest position of the tentacles, cells were constantly dividing and growing downward. It could grow to one meter in one day.
But Aoki still thinks this speed is too slow.
Because the drought outside is getting more and more serious.
Time passes day by day.
Not a drop of rain fell.
The water level in the lake has dropped visibly to the naked eye. A large number of plants have withered and life has been cut off. Even the number of animals has dropped sharply due to drought.
The living situation is very serious.
This is not just the case in the Amla Valley where Aoki is located.
The entire Yunbian Province is like this. Since February, there has been a large-scale drought. The scorching sun has baked the earth, the land is cracked, and there are almost thousands of miles of white soil. Even the reservoirs have dried up and the rivers have stopped flowing.
Humans in Yunbian Province can rely on the support of other provinces and will not have a survival crisis.
But animals and plants did not have such good luck. A large number of animals began to dehydrate and die, and countless fish died on the exposed river beds. To say the end of the world is an exaggeration, but it is also very miserable.
However, the external environment is cruel.
Wu Siyuan was not affected at all.
He opened the [Shennong's Corner Space] at the root of the underground tree, and a steady stream of water filled with spiritual energy was absorbed by the roots of his [Vitality Tree] and turned into strong nutrients, supporting the continuous growth of his tree body cells.
When a lot of plants outside were withered, even the green tree, the [World Tree], had its leaves becoming loose and yellow due to lack of water, but the [Vitality Tree] possessed by Wu Siyuan was growing Lush and lush, casting a large shadow.
Many large animals went to cool down under Wu Siyuan to avoid the strong sun, including a leopard couple and a squirrel couple who had eaten green wood fruit meat.
When Aoki saw this situation, he felt a little sour in his heart and wondered, "Why can this tree grow so well in this environment? Has it mutated? If it really has mutated? That's because What? Those murals didn’t say anything about this situation!”
Aoki was filled with suspicion and was still thinking about whether to do a slice study of this [Vitality Tree].
Fortunately, Aoki's current focus is on finding underground water sources. This idea was suppressed as soon as it came up. Otherwise, Wu Siyuan would have been uprooted by Aoki, a [researcher] - provided that Aoki could do it. Get this.
Of course Aoki can't do this.
After Wu Siyuan had a physical body, he was no longer isolated from this world, and his skills were not ordinary.
If you really piss it off, it’s hard to say who will be uprooted!
Wu Siyuan didn't know what was going on in Qingmu's mind. At this time, after several days of consideration, he finally decided to use the [Fountain of Life] on himself.
These [Fountains of Life] come from the world of "Beast Blood Boiling", and one drop can increase the growth rate of plants by ten years.
In the past, Wu Siyuan used it on other plants, such as [Golden Mulberry], [Yougua] and other plants.
But now, he is using it on himself.
A drop of [Fountain of Life] was taken out from [Shennong Corner Space] and absorbed by the roots of [Vitality Tree].
Wu Siyuan felt an overwhelming force, full of endless vitality, pouring into his body at an extremely violent speed. Wherever it went, the plant cells felt like they had taken [Shiquan Dabu Pill] Generally, it continues to divide and mature and then divide and mature.
Wu Siyuan's [Vitality Tree] body is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The original height of about 20 meters suddenly increased to 50 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a sixteenth or seventeenth floor. It suddenly exceeded the height of the [World Tree] Aoki, as if it stood out from the crowd.
The trunk, branches, leaves, and roots all expand accordingly.
Of course, what followed was endless pain in Wu Siyuan's soul, and it took a long time for him to recover.
"...I didn't expect that after using [Fountain of Life], the plant's senses would be so painful!" Wu Siyuan thought with lingering fear.
"Plants can't speak! So no one knows the suffering they have suffered!"
The cost of using the [Fountain of Life] was too painful. Even Wu Siyuan was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pain that touched his soul, so he temporarily postponed its use.
And the other side.
The drastic changes in the [Vitality Tree] possessed by Wu Siyuan attracted the attention of [World Tree] Aoki, who was constantly looking for underground water sources.
It was shocked and looked at Zishu, who was taller than itself, "Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?"
Aoki's [Sense of Thought] flowed out like mercury, and flowed onto the [Vitality Tree] possessed by Wu Siyuan. He wanted to find out what was going on, but he didn't want the [Sense of Thought] to be bounced away as soon as he got close to the tree.
Only then did Aoki remember the abnormality of this [Vitality Tree], and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
