Alien Dust

Chapter 436: Evil Roots

There are many areas invaded by wild lands. Just as Qingxi said, they are like grass seeds buried in thick soil. They will break out of the ground immediately with just a shower of rain and dew, and then grow in a very wild and crazy manner. An ancient city can disappear overnight, and the people living in the city will all become wild ghost soldiers.

The ghost-faced vine people that Wu Hen met in the stonemason town were the wild ghost soldiers. They were the resentful fruits of the people who were killed by the earth erosion. If they were not dealt with properly, these wild ghost soldiers might become the wild ghost army and massacre people in the places where living people live.

The Holy Sect is a sect of practitioners and also enjoys offerings from the world. No matter how much intrigue there is within, they still need to assume certain responsibilities. Purifying the wilderness and rescuing the evil spirits is also one of the responsibilities of the Holy Sect.

Mingxi's current position as the Mingzun priest is mainly to manage these things. In the eyes of those who have suffered from the damage of earth erosion, Mingxi and Wu Hen are indeed like gods sent from heaven, helping them to manage the extremely harsh geographical environment and eliminate evil spirits.

"There is a Black Grass City in the south, which has become a wild jungle. If nothing unexpected happens, a large number of wild ghost soldiers are stored there. At that time, we may need my junior brothers to help us eliminate these wild ghost soldiers." Qingxi said.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to stretch my muscles." Wu Hen nodded. Anyway, it was just daily tasks like collecting energy for Xiaoyi, fighting monsters, and leveling up. It was something that didn't require much thinking and only took some time. He could just relieve stress and boredom.

"By the way, when you went to ask for the guard drum, I met a foreigner. He planted a very strange sapling next to the temple, and this sapling actually absorbed the evil roots of the earth." Qingxi mentioned the previous episode.

"It must be quite difficult to refine the Earth Evil Root, but that sapling is quite magical. Let me take a look." Wu Hen said.

The evil roots of the earth are the source of the growth of the wild soil. Generally, they need to be taken to the furnace of the Yunzhong Holy Nation for refining for a few years before their brute force can be completely eliminated. This is like a waste container with nuclear radiation. It cannot be discarded casually, and it takes a lot of energy to keep it. Therefore, the members of the Holy Sect in Tongtian City cannot handle this kind of thing, and only the Tianshang Mingzun level can deal with it.

But the sapling that Qingxi obtained seemed to be more special than the alchemy furnaces of the ancestors of the Holy Sect. It actually absorbed the evil roots of the earth as organic fertilizer. This made Qingxi both surprised and a little worried.

Why did the foreigners plant this kind of sapling in the Holy Sect’s territory? What was their intention?

"Here, when I got it before, it was just a sapling, but now it has grown as tall as a person." Qingxi waved his sleeves and released the special sapling.

As soon as Wu Hen saw the sapling, he felt it looked very familiar!

After taking a closer look at the small life capsule bud and the fluorescent energy flowing on the tree trunk, Wu Hen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Isn't this a Starlink receiver? A portable network for the entire universe!"

"What is Starlink?" Qingxi looked confused, not quite understanding the terminology used by these aliens.

"Hehe, I've seen this thing before. Sister, please give it to me. It will be of great use to me." Wu Hen also took it directly.

Qingxi didn't think much about it and gave it to Wu Hen directly without even asking any detailed questions.

"It can absorb the evil roots of the earth. If you want it to grow quickly, you'll have to follow me to visit more cities that have been invaded by the earth." Qingxi said.

"That's easy to say."

"I'm tired today, so I won't go back to the cloud. Let's take a rest."

"it is good……"

"Junior brother, are you going to sleep in the same room with me?" Qingxi looked back at Wu Hen who had already stepped into her boudoir, raised her delicate eyebrows and asked.

"Oh, we accidentally talked about Senior Sister's room. You should go to bed early." Wu Hen scratched his head awkwardly. Qingxi just sat on the edge of the bed, smiling as she watched the junior brother leave.

There is a thief's heart but no thief's courage.

……

After returning to his house, Wu Hen immediately began to study the small tree that was one meter tall.

"Soul-dwelling Tree!" Bai Ze recognized this special sacred tree at a glance. It had been lying on Wu Hen's head for the whole day, and it was finally starting to chatter today.

“You actually know this.”

"Of course. According to legend, it is a special sacred tree that grew from the black hair of Nuwa that was buried in the ground. Although we don't know how many generations this soul-dwelling tree has evolved, it has a great connection with your Nuwa Shenduan clan." Bai Ze said.

"After it grows up, it will form a soul flower cabin. When we lie in the soul flower, no matter where we are, our souls can return to the Shenduan. It's like surfing the Internet in the interstellar space. Even at the border of the universe, as long as there is a signal, we can log in to our Earth Shenduan network. After all, based on our current cognitive exploration, we are judged to be digital life, so the design of the soul habitat is also very reasonable." Wu Hen said.

"What a mess! You just need to understand it from the perspective of your own culture. Some gods who roam the universe no longer need a physical body. Their souls are like spiritual factors between heaven and earth, ethereal and empty, yet omnipresent. They know everything on earth and can predict the changes in the sky. In their eyes, the laws of the movement of all things are just a series of predetermined paintings. Sometimes, they can also incarnate into thousands and millions of them and live and reproduce as living beings. How can your existence be virtual and digital... You need to find the answer yourself." Bai Ze said unhappily.

"Oh, oh, after all, our cognition is still too superficial. The truth can only be known when we reach the sainthood of the human world, right? Moreover, just like the countless cells in my body, they integrate a thinking me, but it does not mean that they do not exist." Wu Hen said.

"Almost. In short, this Soul Resting Tree is very sacred and precious. Just think about it, Nuwa's real body has only a few hairs, scattered in this vast and strange world. Finding one is equivalent to obtaining a miracle." Bai Ze said.

"That's true, but let me check whether there is any virus in this strain first." Wu Hen opened his spiritual consciousness.

With the fourth-level spiritual vision, it is easy to tell whether there are insect pupils hidden in the soul-dwelling tree.

Obviously, this is a very pure soul-dwelling tree, and there is no need to worry about getting a virus when surfing the Internet with it.

"How did Qingxi get the Soul Resting Wood? Where did this Soul Resting Wood come from?" Bai Ze asked.

"I am also wondering, she was taken from a foreigner. The question is how could a foreigner have the sacred tree of our Nuwa people?"

"Um... could it be possible that the foreigner she mentioned is someone from your hometown? After all, she is a high-ranking person in the Saint Sect."

When Wu Hen heard this, he finally came to his senses.

Yup!

The person injured by Qingxi was most likely a compatriot.
