bright!.

The tree grows quickly, but it's not too huge. Maybe the vitality and energy in the black spirit snake can't supply a tree that is too big.

It is also possible that the lake cannot support it.

In short, the growth of this tree had stopped when Bai Jing was dumbfounded.

"This tree...is this tree... Gu Yinduo?"

Xu Le was floating on the water, and he already knew about Bai Jing's arrival just now, but he didn't push himself enough to kill a level 4 ancient god, and still chat with the girl leisurely and elegantly.

Regarding Bai Jing's question, Xu Le pinched his chin and pondered.

"To be precise, it shouldn't be considered the Tree of Ancient Music."

Although it is very similar and Xu Le has used a lot of ancient Yinduo's psionic powers, the tree in front of him is indeed not the ancient Yinduo tree.

He also mixed in a lot of extra things.

For example, Hongyue psionic energy, Hongsha, and some weird things.

"Then what is it?"

"If it's called the Tree of Darkness, it doesn't fit its characteristics. I haven't figured out its name, nor its function."

"What does it do? What can a tree do?"

"The function of the tree is, of course, to purify the world and give birth to fruits by the way."

"Purify the world? Birth fruit?"

Bai Jing didn't quite understand what Xu Le said, but she soon saw a scene that shocked her.

Xu Le's hand reached out to the tree, and the tree began to exude a joyful emotion as if it felt Xu Le.

"This is, anima?"

As a guide, Bai Jing's strength is still good, and she also knows a little bit about anima.

But right now, this tree is emitting anima?
That is something that can only be born from the strong emotional desire of human beings...

"Yeah, heart energy, this is my field of expertise, and I can't do it in a stronger state.

But if it's just anima, I should be able to give it a try. "

Xu Le gently stroked the tree. This unknown blue tree began to grow green leaves and flowers like the color of the red moon. Finally, the flowers withered and fruits appeared.

A fruit that is not an ancient Yinduo fruit.

"fruit?"

"I'll give it to you. This is also the first time I made it. It's just a flash of inspiration. It can't be sold for money. At least those fruit appraisers must have no way to approve this kind of thing."

Watching Xu Le pick off the fruit and hand it to himself.

Bai Jing always has a feeling of unreality.

Xu Le gave himself a Guyinduo fruit?Why does she feel wrong?

"This... first meeting, why am I embarrassed?"

"Things that the market will not recognize are difficult to be traded. After all, there are many items related to Gu Yin, and not many people dare to eat them casually.

You just leave it to yourself to play. "

After all, Bai Jing took the fruit, but Xu Le in front of her seemed more and more outrageous.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I once thought of a name, but that name was too ugly, but it is very appropriate to use it now.

You can call me Tree Shepherd. "

"The shepherd?"

"He who herds trees is a tree shepherd."

Looking at Xu Le, Bai Jing was in a daze. She didn't even notice that Xu Le was walking on the lake.

Returning to the camp with the fruit, Bai Jing didn't sleep well all night.

……

The next morning, everyone woke up, and the team was ready to start again.

But Bai Jing, the guide, is in a very bad state.

The martial artist's physique prevented her from being exhausted if she didn't sleep all night, but she was indeed in a trance.

The fruit in his arms is still there, which means that everything that happened last night was true.

But how is that possible?

If you think about it carefully, it feels like nonsense. How can a person control a tree?Then a new fruit was born?
"The tree shepherd? It feels like some kind of cult organization wanted by the Red Moon Temple."

"Xiaobai? What did you do? Brothers are almost ready, can you go yet? There is still a long drive from the mission destination."

"Oh, okay, sorry, I was thinking about something."

Bai Jing glanced at Xu Le who was sitting at the back of the bus, this guy seemed to be okay, really.

"Okay, ready to go."

When passing through the wasteland ahead, the patches of black ash on the ground attracted the attention of many people.

"It looks like there are a lot of corpses of earth borers. Is there a fire here?"

"Fart, why is the wasteland on fire? Will the stones and sand burn by themselves?"

"Then why are they all burnt?"

"Maybe the weather is too dry?"

"Neuropathy."

The discussion of several people naturally spread to Bai Jing's eyes, and she suddenly remembered the earth-boring insect meat that Xu Le brought back last night.

That burnt...

"Does he still have the ability to fire? What kind of profession is it?"

No one can give her an answer.

After nearly an hour of driving the repaired classic car, Xu Le, who had not been interested in the surroundings, suddenly regained his energy.

"This...this is!"

A city full of tall buildings!

This is a modern city in the true sense, and it looks more advanced than the big cities in the previous life.

At least in the magic capital of the previous life, almost all the tall buildings were connected with sky bridges.

But here it is.

Although some flyovers were broken, they did not collapse.

It's just that because of the time, the buildings are covered with green plants, moss, and things like wall-climbing tigers.

"The unbelievable architectural style, what was it like in the wild?"

Seeing this, Xu Le was already sure.

The dark blue star must have experienced a glorious civilization era before the dark age.

There may be transcendence, but it is definitely not just pure transcendence, nor is it like the Red Moon Temple, which has become an organization that subdues other cities by force.

"Is it beautiful? The legendary Empire of the Second Era is a behemoth two ages earlier than us. It is said that they existed far earlier than when the Red Moon was born.

In an unimaginable era, their buildings can survive thousands of years, and they still stand tall in today's era. "

"The former empire? The second era..."

Xu Le knew that there was a gap of about 400 years between the third era and the present.

Between the third and second eras, he is not quite sure about the specific time gap.

In the era thousands of years ago, could buildings have reached this level?
In the ancient ruins outside the city of Zion, Xu Le had seen some traces of the ancient empire.

What was the ancient empire in his mind-filling impression?
Old stone castles, knights on horses, old buildings, windmills, water towers, and escaped princesses...

But what was the ancient empire in front of us like?
Advanced, unimaginably advanced.

Judging from the colors still preserved on the building walls, this should be a very dynamic era, a very dynamic era.

"People who live in this era must be very happy." A new mercenary like Xu Le said in a daze.

"Maybe someone who used to live here could eat beef every day? What a life of luxury."

"Don't be so unpromising. The Red Moon Temple and the people of Zion just eat beef every day, read more books, and masturbate less."

"Depend on……"

Just as Xu Le thought, he was not the only one who was moved.

But compared to these people, he was more emotional.

Because I have seen the world in my previous life and know the prosperity there.

And here, he also saw a large shopping mall projection screen. Of course, it has been damaged for so many years, but all signs indicate that this is an era of electronic technology.

"It's really desirable."

Xu Le touched the plants at hand, feeling a little happy.

Bai Jing just wanted to remind Xu Le not to touch the things here casually, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Maybe he didn't care about the touch at all.

"Okay, we have reached our destination now. The area responsible for Mission 1033 is about 4 kilometers in diameter. If we go deeper, it will be Mission 1034.

That mission is carried out by other teams, and our job is to eliminate the danger in the No. 1033 mission area.

The mission team is divided into groups of 10 people, you can form them freely, I will bring newcomers here, the same as before.

From now on, the outer domain development task, start! "

Xu Le, who has been wandering outside the team, is a little puzzled. Is there something missing in this task interpretation?
"Uh, let me interrupt. After the task is divided into teams, is there no other information?"

"What more information do you need?"

"Like when to gather?"

"Let's gather when the task is completed." Bai Jing was a little surprised, Xu Le was really a newbie in terms of tasks.

"Is there no requirement for when the task will be completed?" Xu Le's eyes flickered.

It seems that for him, there is no specific requirement for the task time, which is really an incredible thing.

"What time limit can this kind of development task have? As long as it does not exceed 2 months, if the Kuroshio tide hits and you are still in the wild, wouldn't that be death?"

"2 months?"

Hearing this time, Xu Le was a little hard to say...

Once upon a time, he naively thought that in the lighthouse, the night watchman was at least human.

Only the people in the lower city are the existence of improper people.

But compared with Tianrui Lifeng, who claims to be the most developed mercenary industry, it seems that night watchmen are not human beings anymore.

At that time, the task time of the night watchman was compressed to 3 days. If it could not be completed, it had to be continued. It was divided into 2 times, and there was still pressure on personnel.

The final result is also obvious, a new generation replaces the old...

"It's no wonder that after Brother Shu came to Tianrui Lifeng, he admired Tianrui Lifeng's barbaric policy so much.

The policies here, while brutal, are at least humane.

They didn't use people as livestock, although they were barbaric, they were still people, not cattle and horses..."

"Ding Ke? What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Xu Le waved his hand, suddenly he was in a bad mood.

It's really too bad that only 4 cities in this world are still under such high pressure.

"I just think that it is quite reasonable to say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"I don't know where you got so much emotion from, well, come with me, you are also a newcomer, we are a team."

"it is good."

Bai Jing took the initiative to let Xu Le join her team, but she also had selfish motives.

First of all, she wanted to know Xu Le better.

The other thing is Xu Le's strength. As a guide, she was able to survive 6 consecutive years of field missions.

It is of course very important to look at people. Xu Le's strength will be the safety guarantee of the entire team.

The premise is...

"I hope Ding Ke won't cause trouble."

Although she has such thoughts, Bai Jing also knows that she can't control Xu Le at all.

Judging from Xu Le's previous behavior, he is really a guy who likes to kill.

"They went left and center, let's start with the building on the right."

Bai Jing, as the team leader, walked in the front.

Xu Le took Ding Ke and mixed in the middle of the team.

"There are so many tall buildings here..." said a young mercenary.

He looked younger than Xu Le, at most eighteen or nineteen years old.

Are you out to be a mercenary at this age?Xu Le thought about it.

"what is this?"

"It should be the platform of some kind of transportation." Seeing what the kid was pointing at, Xu Le replied.

"Uh, is it similar to a steam locomotive?"

"It may be something more advanced, such as an electric bus, or a suspension car."

Seeing that Xu Le was willing to chat with him, Xiaonian opened up the chatter box.

"Wow, you know this, have you been to similar places before?"

"Well, I have indeed been to similar places."

"Then what is the scariest monster you have ever seen? The purpose of my becoming a mercenary is to kill the monster."

Seeing the young man's firm eyes, Xu Le couldn't help but laugh.

"me too."

rustling...

Just now, there was a sound from the overgrown green belt ahead.

"Be alert." Bai Jing reminded loudly, but it was too late.

A monster twisted like mud released a ball of green slime towards the mercenary team.

[Licking ghost, deformed species, level 3 weird, many ancient sounds]

puff!
The slime was sprayed on the ground, and the green gas rose immediately.

Xu Le instantly pushed away the young man beside him, and after this action, the tongue of the licking ghost followed.

Snapped!
The tongue hit the air like a long whip, and because the target was pushed away, the licking ghost developed some hostility towards Xu Le.

In its view, that young man is the best person to deal with.

After the blow failed, its tongue immediately wrapped around another female mercenary's ankle, dragging her into the green belt.

what! ~
The woman screamed, and her flustered emotions made it impossible for her to make a correct judgment. If she wasn't so flustered, she wouldn't be so.

Fortunately, Bai Jing had already made a move, she drew the knife and slashed at the tongue with weird slime.

Cut off with a knife, the licking ghost let out a scream.

Xu Le frowned slightly, the frequency of this call... something was wrong.

At the same time, a second slime monster also emerged from the green belt.

It bit down on the female's thigh.

Tear!

A large piece of flesh was torn off by its sharp mouthparts, and the woman screamed again.

"my leg."

Bone wounds can already be seen, as well as a large amount of missing thigh meat, which indicates that this woman has completely lost her combat effectiveness.

However this is only the beginning.

Xu Le, who hadn't made a move all this time, turned to look at the building on the right.

There seemed to be something in the dark door on the first floor.
