Great Wilderness Alchemist

Chapter 158, 'Vegetable'

The warm and moist soil nourishes every root, and the mulberry leeks that are deeply rooted around the valley pool can't help but let out a sigh of comfort.

As the only remaining female in the tribe, she has the freedom to root around Guchi as she pleases.

However, at this hard-won wonderful moment, Sangzhu's panicked shout suddenly came from my ear: "Sangjiu, come here quickly, your brother is going to die!!!"

Sang Jiu's body froze immediately, and she quickly pulled out the roots from the soil.

Transforming into a human form, Sang Jiu followed Sang Zhu and quickly ran towards the square in the distance.

Every time the warriors in the tribe came back from hunting, they would gather in the square to process the sacrifices.Of course...the corpses of his companions will also be disposed of at the same time.

From a distance, Sang Jiu smelled an extremely strong smell of blood.She didn't see any trophies, but instead saw the clansmen surrounding a broken humanoid corpse with mournful faces.

In an instant, Sang Jiu's mind was buzzing, she couldn't believe it!
Hearing Sang Jiu's vain footsteps, some of the clansmen turned their heads. Their bodies were dripping with blood, and they all had deep wounds that could be seen.

"I'm sorry, Ah Jiu, we...we couldn't save him."

"He was bitten in the body by a squid."

"We tried our best, sorry..."

Sang Jiu could no longer hear any sound, she stared blankly at the corpse surrounded by them.He was lying on his back dripping with blood, half of his body was gone.

Sang Jiu's facial expression began to twitch, cold tears kept falling, and she ran towards the corpse suddenly:

"Brother!!!" A mournful cry pierced the void.

……

How can there be human wailing?

Standing on the withered and yellow ground, Xianling stopped her exploration and looked up into the distance.

The sound seemed to erupt from around the sun-like giant tree, but it was too far away to be heard clearly.

Sighing, the fairy continued to explore forward.

In fact, she is not a person who loves adventure.

but,

Just after she stepped into this magical underground world, the Classic of Mountains and Seas in her sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled.

It seems very excited, and it seems that it is eager to convey something to the fairy.

Xian Ling was shocked at the time, and she quickly took out the Shan Hai Jing from the sea of ​​consciousness.

But unfortunately, when a distorted radical appeared on the writing, its faint light dimmed instantly.

Obviously, the system suppressed it again.

Xian Ling was extremely disappointed, but... at least it can prove that there is something Shan Hai Jing is very concerned about in this strange place!
Maybe that thing can make Shan Hai Jing out of the control of the system!

Thinking of this, Xian Ling suddenly lost her composure. She climbed up the tree and began to look into the distance.

In the distance, the giant tree that exudes hot light is like a candle in the dark night, and also like the sun and stars in the galaxy of the universe. It stands in the dark underground world covering the sky and the sun, which is shocking.

Compared with the surrounding withered plants, its nutrition is too abundant, and the dense branches that stretch freely seem to cover the entire sky.

If... in this underground world with thin spiritual energy, there is really an existence that can affect the Shan Hai Jing, it must be that giant tree like the sun!

Thinking of this, Xianling was very excited, but it was followed by frustration.

Obviously, that giant tree is not an ordinary high-level spiritual plant, maybe it is also a legendary sacred tree like Ziqin wood.What if she ran over recklessly and was strangled on the spot by it as fertilizer?
However, that's not true, if it is really a sacred tree, its spiritual consciousness should be able to spread far away, and it is impossible to let her, an outsider, walk around in its territory.

The fairy began to boldly guess that the giant tree was either dormant, or it had a very gentle personality and didn't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Hopefully it's the latter, so she can try to communicate with the tree.

Just as he was thinking about what was going on, Xianling's stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.

I took a look at my satiety, well, there are only more than 20 points left, no wonder she is so hungry.

The satiety of this place is depleted really fast, but she hasn't eaten for seven or eight hours, so she should be hungry.

After reconfirming that the big tree under him is really just an ordinary big tree, Xianling took out a piece of barbecue from the Cangyu bracelet and quickly gnawed on it in this hidden environment.

Maybe it was because the smell of the barbecue was too fragrant, and the withered and yellow plants all around made rustling sounds. Under the calm eyes of the fairy, they turned their branches and looked at her in unison.

After a rough scan, these plants grow very strangely.

Some are in the shape of 'mouths', some have 'ears', some have one eye, and of course some are waving human limbs...

This is not scary, what is even more terrifying is that most of their withered and yellow leaves are covered with glowing moss. At first glance, they are gorgeous and "good-looking".

The anthropomorphic plants are planted in the soil in various strange postures. If you don’t know it, you might think that you have entered the anime world of Junji Ito.

With the dappled light, this scalp-tingling scene is quite scary.

But Fairy didn't panic at all. As soon as she stepped into this dreamy land, she found that the plants here were very strange.

It doesn't matter if it looks like a person and can move, and some plants can make sounds!It's the kind of thing that screams when you step on it.

At that time, fairy spirits were strange.

After confirming that these plants had no fighting power, she pulled up one for research.Unexpectedly, the next second the plant was so frightened that it spewed out water. The fairy thought it was some kind of 'hidden weapon' and hurriedly avoided it.

However, after careful inspection, it was discovered that there was no hidden weapon, it was clearly the tears it spewed out!
What's even more outrageous is that when she was exploring, the Dragon Soul Sword in her hand accidentally cut a very 'ordinary' green plant, and it actually bleed out human-like red blood!

however,
For such an abnormal plant that a blind person could spot at a glance, the system did not urge her to collect it for the first time.

This is so abnormal!
It was so abnormal that Xianling once thought that when the system was playing with Shan Hai Jing, it accidentally crashed the program.

So, she quickly took out a spiritual fruit from the Cangyu bracelet to test it, but at that moment, the fairy's expression cracked...

It's so bad!It was very good, it quickly took away the spirit fruit! ! !
Because of the strange behavior of the system, the fairy felt that this place was not simple.

No wonder Shan Hai Jing was so 'excited', so she had to investigate more carefully.

After some investigation, the fairy found out that the aura here is very, very thin, so thin that it looks like it has entered the bubble of a squid.The only difference is that the spiritual power in the body can be consumed here, and skills can also be released.

The fairy was gnawing on the delicious barbecue, while scanning the surrounding plants that were about to move.If they really attack her, the fairies will let them understand what is the real absolute zero!

However, at this moment, the big tree under the fairy suddenly shook slightly without warning.

Obviously, this big tree that looks normal and has no aura is also a mutant plant.

Without any hesitation, Xian Ling grabbed the Dragon Soul Sword and jumped down from the tree.

She looked at the big tree in front of her coldly.

After shaking off countless withered and yellow leaves, it suddenly turned into a little boy with yellow-green hair.

The little boy was about seven or eight years old, very thin, like a layer of skin wrapped around distinct bones.

At this moment, he was swallowing his saliva desperately at the barbecue in the fairy's hand with his big head that didn't fit its figure.

Xian Ling's indifferent expression could no longer be maintained.It's not that I can't understand why this tree has no aura at all and can transform into a human being, but...

She had never seen such a skinny 'human', like a refugee from a war-torn country.No, it should be said that it is worse than refugees. The fairy is really unbelievable. How can it survive with such a skeleton?

　(`~) I spent a whole night last night, and only finished three chapters.

　　Woo, the code words on the face roll keyboard are fast...

　　In fact, the author has a problem. After writing, he likes to go back and read it repeatedly, and he can pick out the problem every time.

　　I have a wonderful plot in my mind, but...（｀Δ）ゞ I am very angry that I can’t write it out.
