The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 841 Inside the Divine Tree Island

At Liang Yuan's suggestion, Lu Dayou and Liang Minru did not dare to hesitate in the slightest.

The two immediately took Liang Yuan to the underground site where the heart and brain cores had been discovered to search for clues.

Lu Yuyan quickly said, "I'll go too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou frowned and said, "Yu Yan, the bloodline path underground is complicated, so you shouldn't go."

Lu Yuyan glanced at Liang Yuan. She knew it wasn't easy to see Brother Liang, so she naturally wanted to spend more time with him.

Even if it's just for a little while, she still tried to persuade him, saying, "With Brother Liang and Dad here, what danger could there be?"

"Besides, I'm also a superhuman, a healing superhuman, so I can help you in a pinch."

Lu Dayou kept a straight face, wanting to refuse.

Liang Minru saw through Lu Yuyan's thoughts. She looked at Lu Yuyan, then at Liang Yuan, and a smile appeared in her eyes.

She tugged at Lu Dayou's sleeve and said, "The core and brain on the island are in our hands, and with Mr. Liang overseeing things, everything should be fine."

"But……"

“There’s no ‘buts.’ I know you’re doing this for Yu Yan’s own good, but think about it, how can she grow if she doesn’t experience things? Coming down with us is also a way for her to train herself.”

"With Mr. Liang here, there will be no danger on this trip."

Lu Dayou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Liang Yuan.

There was a pleading look in his eyes.

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Then let's go together."

After he spoke up, Lu Dayou finally agreed.

So the four of them, led by Lu Dayou, first went to find the place where he had discovered the core.

Lu Dayou arrived at one of the old caves and then led the group deep underground.

They soon entered the interior of the Divine Tree Island.

Liang Yuan asked, "Do you remember where you were after you climbed up the Divine Tree Island along the vines?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dayou frowned slightly: "I really don't remember that."

"To be honest, I also thought about finding that place and seeing if I could return to the flood world through that vine, but I couldn't find it no matter what I did."

"Even if I refine the core, I still can't find this place."

"I don't know if the terrain has changed or if there's some other reason."

Liang Yuan immediately realized there was a problem and frowned, saying, "You've already refined the core. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any place on the entire Divine Tree Island that you can't sense. How could you not investigate such an important matter thoroughly?"

Lu Dayou said helplessly, "I didn't know that the core could sense the entire island. I thought it was normal, after all, I've only refined one core before."

Liang Yuan was speechless. Indeed, Lu Dayou had never refined the cores of other floating islands, so he naturally did not know the function of the cores.

Then Liang Yuan asked again, "After you refine this core, how much of the Divine Tree Island can you sense? How many areas are you unable to sense?"

"About fifty percent, most of it is information from the outer layer of the Divine Tree Island, and some branches of the Bloodline Path. We can't sense anything deeper than that."

After Lu Dayou finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that how you all are?"

Liang Yuan sighed and said, "Of course not. The core of the floating island can manipulate the entire floating island, not only its appearance and terrain, but also easily change the bloodline path and arbitrarily block its route."

"You can easily sense any part of the entire island, and you can even move the entire island using the core!"

"what?"

Liang Yuan's words really surprised Lu Dayou.

Because compared to what Liang Yuan said, he didn't actually have that many functions after obtaining the core.

He thought this was normal.

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of something else and asked, "The core of the heart often contains some genetic information, which are some memories of the original body of this divine tree island before its death."

"Did you sense anything when you were refining it?"

Lu Dayou shook his head repeatedly: "No, I didn't sense anything."

Liang Yuan frowned, then looked at Liang Minru: "And you? How did you feel when you were refining your brain core?"

Liang Minru also snapped out of her shock and quickly asked, "Are brain nuclei as amazing as heart nuclei?"

"I can only sense the distribution of bloodline paths, but not all of them."

"It is limited to the area where the brain nucleus was initially discovered."

"Also, I can't sense the terrain of the Divine Tree Island anymore."

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "The brain nucleus and the heart nucleus have different functions."

"Although the brain nucleus cannot change the terrain and landforms or perceive the internal conditions of the island like the heart nucleus, it can perceive the life forms on the island and change the climate and environment of the island, etc."

"Have you mastered these abilities?"

Liang Minru immediately shook her head: "No, I can only sense life forms in a certain area within my range, and I cannot sense the distribution of life across the entire island."

"As for the changes in environment and climate you mentioned, I haven't felt anything at all."

Liang Yuan frowned silently. Listening to Lu Dayou and Liang Minru's descriptions, he felt that the two of them seemed to only control a small part of the power on the Divine Tree Island.

Could it be that the heart and brain cores are both castrated versions?
Or is this how floating islands made of plants are supposed to be?
Liang Yuan immediately said, "No rush, let's search slowly. The area of ​​Divine Tree Island is not large. If we check it one by one, we will definitely find some clues."

The group immediately nodded and began to investigate along the bloodline path.

“There definitely isn’t one in this area. We were hiding underground before, and this area is where we often operate. There’s nothing special about it.”

Liang Minru spoke first, pointing to the large, slightly sunken plaza ahead.

Liang Yuan sensed it and indeed found nothing unusual.

The group then crossed the square and walked further in.

The further you go in, the narrower the passage becomes.

Lu Dayou said, "From my core perception, there should be no road ahead."

Liang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Let's continue to look ahead."

The group nodded and continued walking forward.

The road ahead indeed became narrower and narrower, to the point where even a person couldn't pass sideways.

Liang Yuan closed his eyes, expanding his mental energy to explore the surrounding bloodline pathways. These pathways were like a thick wooden wall, not the flesh and blood he had encountered before.

There are clear differences between the two.

Liang Yuan touched the wooden-textured wall, thought for a moment, and said, "You all step back."

Lu Yuyan and the others quickly took a few steps back.

Flames rapidly condensed in Liang Yuan's palm, instantly transforming into a raging inferno.

He slammed his palm down directly onto the wooden wall.

Boom!

The entire wooden wall burst into flames instantly.

A large amount of thick smoke was produced.

With a wave of his hand, Liang Yuan conjured a spirit turtle shield, which covered the surroundings and isolated them from the thick smoke.

Lu Dayou, puzzled, couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liang, are you going to burn it through?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Not bad."

"You suspect there are other passages behind? But I haven't sensed any," Lu Dayou couldn't help but say.

Liang Yuan shook his head slightly: "The problem is that you can't sense it."

“We’re here to find problems. If we just follow the path you perceive, we’ll probably find nothing.”

"Look, the wall is cracked!"

Suddenly, Liang Minru noticed that the wooden wall that had been burning with flames was rapidly cracking, revealing a huge fissure that was unknown how many meters deep it was.

From within the crack, thick water vapor surged forth, seemingly trying to extinguish the flames Liang Yuan had unleashed.

Upon seeing this, Liang Yuan immediately sneered.

"Knowing how to protect themselves, there's definitely something fishy going on here!"

You should know that the other floating islands are just corpses. Even if you hollow out the heart of a floating island, the entire floating island will not react at all.

But this Divine Tree Island is clearly different; it actually knows how to resist.

What does this mean? It means that the island still has consciousness!
Liang Yuan's expression turned solemn as he unleashed a torrent of flames from both palms, frantically burning the water vapor.

Soon, the water vapor in the crack began to evaporate like steam under the scorching flames.

The cracks around the perimeter are widening.

It resembles a tree bark rapidly losing water, turning into a mottled, old bark.

Within minutes, the moisture in front of them dissipated, revealing a huge, deep crack.

Liang Yuan looked at Lu Dayou behind him: "Can you sense the situation inside the crack now?"

"It looks like there's a passageway behind us!"

Lu Dayou's face was full of surprise and doubt, and he immediately said.

Liang Yuan immediately said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Lu Dayou couldn't help but say, "Mr. Liang, could you please take Yu Yan with you? I'm worried there might be some danger inside."

Liang Yuan paused, then looked at Lu Yuyan.

He reached out and took Lu Yuyan's fair hand, saying, "Leave it to me, let's go."

Lu Yuyan's face flushed slightly, but her eyes shone brightly in the darkness.

She approached Liang Yuan, not feeling at all that the darkness was terrifying.

On the contrary, she wished the dark cracks to be even deeper.

That way, Brother Liang can hold my hand forever.

Liang Yuan didn't think too much about it; he just felt that there must be something strange about this Divine Tree Island.

At this moment, the four of them flew rapidly, continuously venturing deeper into the area.

A moment later, a shimmering green light suddenly appeared ahead.

As they drew closer, the light grew brighter and brighter.

Finally, the group crossed the deep crevice, and suddenly the view opened up before them.

All I could see ahead were green plants everywhere, and huge mushrooms growing on the ground and walls.

Even a single blade of grass is as huge as a building.

The four of them were like four ants in the grass.

"What is this place?"

Liang Minru couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Lu Dayou also looked amazed.

The two of them had mastered the core of the Divine Tree Island, yet they were completely unaware that such a vast underground world existed within the island.

In this underground world, there are all kinds of plants, and the mutated mushrooms are huge, some of which even emit a glowing light, illuminating the surroundings.

Some are as large as houses, and under their canopies, there can even be a three-bedroom, one-living room room.

The plants and trees here are enormous, and everything looks like you've entered the world of Avatar.

Everyone was surprised, and Liang Yuan immediately looked at Lu Dayou.

"Sensitize yourself to see if there are any living organisms here, and also to check the terrain."

Lu Dayou nodded quickly, using his core to sense his surroundings.

The next moment, his face darkened: "I can't sense anything! I can't sense anything at all. It's as if some force is blocking this place out!"

"Me too!"

Liang Minru immediately chimed in, "I can't sense any life force here either. These plants are right in front of me, but I can't detect any living organisms using my brain!"

Liang Yuan sneered, "There's definitely something fishy going on!"
