Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 102: The Fake Tree King! Playing Tricks on the Higher Gods! Crystal Beast City! Finally Seeing the Altar!
PS: A chapter of 10,000 words.

……

The sudden inspiration of the plan made Xu Ran's eyes bright.

After thinking about it, he realized that this plan could be implemented.

But if you think about it carefully, there are many fatal flaws!
The more I think about it...

Xu Ranyue felt that it was less reliable.

Because he knew nothing about the god-level creature that attacked him.

of course.

He escaped from the tiger's mouth, but could that god-level monster be lying in wait for him, waiting for him to fall into its trap?

"I have to think of some auxiliary measures to make my plan seem foolproof."

"First, it's known that each of these giant trees is quite far apart. A thousand trees would occupy an area larger than two provinces, and 1 trees would cover 20 provinces. With such a large area, even a god-level creature wouldn't be able to reach it in an instant..."

Xu Ran's analysis was reasonable. After he killed the first tree monster, it took the god-level creature half a month to locate it.

and.

It was only when Xu Ran was dissecting the wood heart that he discovered that the guardian worm had been killed that the god-level creature knew to launch an attack.

At that time, even if Xu Ran was invisible with his invisibility technique, the god-level creatures could guess that he was nearby.

That's why they launched an indiscriminate attack.

From all the details, we can see that his perfect invisibility is very good.

Since all god-level creatures have weaknesses, why not take advantage of them?
Xu Ran’s idea was to go to another forest, fold a tree monster out of origami, and then simulate the tree monster’s pressure and breath, and openly cut out the heart of the tree, while his real body hid 500 meters away and watched.

Let the paper man help transport Mu Xin...

In this way, safety is greatly improved, there is no need to kill the guardian monster, the noise becomes smaller, and there is no smell of blood.

Harmony brings wealth.

Isn't it beautiful?

Think so.

Xu Ran made a decision.

So he made a big circle, which took him ten days, and he arrived at the middle of the forest at full speed.

He didn't stop during this time.

He had been traveling all the time, ten hours a day, at a speed of 40 kilometers an hour, covering a distance of one and a half provinces in a day, and finally arrived 4000 kilometers away from where the god-level creature attacked him.

From the southernmost to the northernmost tip of China, it is only 5500 kilometers.

have to say.

The execution ability of the liver emperor is terrifying. He will get on the road as soon as he says he will.

Day 3388 of adolescence...

Xu Ran had already been training for 105 days. The first 15 days were spent on traveling, the middle 60 days were spent flying, the last 20 days were spent searching for strange giant trees, and now, at the 10th day, he was running like crazy again, completely widening the gap between himself and the god-level creatures...

More than half of the time is spent on the road!
It’s not easy to gain experience!

It was even more difficult to go deep into the contaminated area. Fortunately, he was able to carve talismans by himself, otherwise he would not have been able to hold on for so long.

Xu Ran felt very distressed.

A lot of time was spent on traveling.

If he had 800 million HP, he would definitely make the god-level monster that attacked him die on the spot!

"I'm still not strong enough, so I have to work harder. I'm still a long way from being invincible."

Xu Ran stared.

I saw a strange towering tree not far away.

He threw out a paper object, which turned into a three-meter-tall tree monster.

At the same time, he released a powerful pressure from three hundred meters away, which imitated the tree monster.

The guardian beast suddenly trembled, curled up on the ground, and dared not move.

In nature, strength is king. A three-fold difference in Qi and blood values ​​is enough to suppress the bloodline, making it difficult for the guardian beast to breathe.

It was originally very respectful to the tree king because the tree king gave them a good territory.

Now that the King of Trees has come in person to take care of the giant tree, it is of course respectful and docile like a dog.

The fake tree king pretended to inspect the area, then opened a minimally invasive tree hole as if he was familiar with the place, took out the wooden heart, and then floated up, patted the guardian beast's huge head, turned around and left.

The guardian beast lay on the ground and bid farewell to the tree king.

It is extremely excited now. The King of Trees patted my head?
Does this mean that the Tree King has high hopes for me? I'm about to reach the pinnacle of my life?
It seems that I have extraordinary bloodline and have the potential to become a god, hahahahahaha.

Such plots happen frequently in the forest.

The guardian beasts didn't know what the Tree King was going to do, but wasn't it natural for the Tree King to take the wood heart? They didn't dare to say a word, watching helplessly as the fake Tree King dissected the wood heart and patted their heads.

They have no idea.

Xu Ran, who comes from human society, has a very vicious mind.

His behavior is called drawing a pie in the sky - giving you a hint, drawing a pie that cannot be eaten, making people immersed in a beautiful dream and unable to extricate themselves.

Obviously.

The guardian beasts fell into the trap.

They had clearly failed in their duties, yet they were so happy that they thought they had been praised by the King of Trees, and they were still fantasizing that they would be promoted in the future...

happy.

Xu Ran smiled. The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but about conspiracy and intrigue.

Isn't this much more satisfying than violently killing the guardian beast and then taking the risk to get Mu Xin?

Attacking the city is the next step!

Focus on the heart!

interesting.

Xu Ran disappeared silently.

Half an hour later, he saw another giant tree.

The fake tree king, still emitting an imposing aura of power, went to dissect the wood core, and then made a pie in the sky for the guardian beast. The guardian beast nodded and bowed respectfully, and ecstasy could be seen in the eyes of some of the monsters.

no doubt.

This trick of appeasing people with empty promises is really a good one.

The guardian beasts never thought that there would be fakes. Who the hell is so bold as to impersonate the Tree King?
The one standing behind the tree king is the higher god!

Pretending to be the Tree King right under the nose of the Higher God...are you trying to kill yourself?
Their imaginations could not imagine Xu Ran's outrageous actions.

So they completely believed every move of the fake tree king.

Xu Ran died of laughter.

Okay, they believed it, they believed it!
In their current mental state, it was impossible for them to report a message. By the time the god-level monsters discovered it, Xu Ran had already moved to another position.

He would never stay in the same area for too long.

There are more than 1 trees. If you chop down 1000 of them, you can get 50 drops of Supreme Golden Blood. If you chop down 2000 trees, you can get 100 drops of Supreme Golden Blood. He is playing a guerrilla war!

So Xu Ran moved around in the forest, shooting each time and then moving to another place.

[Devour to obtain the Supreme Golden Blood...]

[Devour to obtain the Supreme Golden Blood...]

After thirty days of negotiation.

The Supreme Golden Blood reached 25 drops (Mu Xin swallowed 20 drops, and the million-level blood value is 5 drops per month...)
"so hard……"

Cultivation is not easy, Xu Ran sighed.

After a month of hard work, even with my own cultivation speed, my Qi and Blood points were only 30.

His current health value is 140 million.

Two more months of hard work!
Xu Ran let out a breath.

Suddenly, a crisis struck my heart!

Without hesitation, he suddenly turned into an arrow and rushed into the clouds, then turned around and flew away.

He saw it.

The god-level creature that attacked him was a terrifying worm monster with eight blood-red eyes and a huge, round mouthpart with a diameter of two hundred meters. It pounced up from the ground, and instantly a sinkhole with a diameter of two hundred meters appeared underground. The sinkhole was bottomless!
The fake tree king was swallowed in one gulp and lost contact instantly.

Xu Ran held his breath and fled frantically.

"It's okay. Every time this guy shows up, it causes huge turmoil. In such a turmoil, even if I bring my clones, it's still difficult for him to judge."

During the last crisis.

Xu Ran learned a lot of experience.

The first experience was that when his speed went from being still to rushing wildly, he imitated the movement of a stone breaking through the wind. In this way, he became just one of countless stones, greatly reducing the probability of being discovered.

as predicted.

The worm missed.

Standing in the clouds and howling.

The terrifying sound waves destroyed the cloud of pollution, and ripples spread in all directions with the worm as the center.

"Thief! Come out! I will tear you into pieces!"

Xu Ran sneered: "I'd be surprised if you came out. Don't be so arrogant. When I become strong enough, I will definitely blow you up with one punch."

Xu Ran didn't even look back and disappeared without a trace.

The center of the battlefield.

The tree king came out.

"God, this thief is so abominable!"

"It's pretending to be me and stealing wood hearts in the forest! It's already stolen 600 wood hearts!"

"This is a slap in your face!"

Death Worm: "...Its concealment methods are so strange that they even deceived me... If it was hiding from us and stealing the wood heart, we would never find it."

The Death Worm was very angry, but there was nothing it could do.

It had been planning a clever plan for half a day, but Xu Ran didn't fall for it at all.

Guerrilla warfare tactics are something that even a high-level god cannot contain.

After all... the farthest distance the Tree King wants to contact his own tree is only 300 kilometers. It has no way of knowing immediately if it is 300 kilometers away.

And it... can sense ground vibrations within a range of 10 kilometers. Its perception is very precise and it can even sense the jumping of a spider, but its breadth is not enough.

"We don't know how it will attack. Where will it appear next time?"

The Tree King said, "God, how about asking for some help to hunt this thief down together?"

The Death Worm sneered: "I have sent my men to invite them. They will be here in thirty days."

……

the other side.

Xu Ran flew for more than an hour before stopping.

"You found me so quickly? I thought it would take two months."

He was very surprised.

It is estimated that the death worms were moving non-stop in the forest, searching the entire forest thoroughly.

Although he used a guerrilla warfare style, he was actually always in the middle of the forest.

One month is just right.

"This time, the attack speed was significantly faster than the last time. It directly swallowed the paper object. However, I had reserved a distance of 300 meters in advance, so I escaped with much ease."

Xu Ran smiled and shook his head. What is this called?
This is called "the first time is strange, the second time is familiar."

There has been a long-term improvement in both the level of caution and the ability to cope with escape.

Escape from the clutches of a god-level creature with a HP value of 30 million!

Stimulate!

"Change places, return to the original position. Hold him for another month."

Xu Ran did the opposite. He spent ten days returning to the original logging site and stole the wood heart openly.

Because the health value reached 140 million, the speed of travel increased a lot.

The efficiency of illegal logging increased greatly. In just thirty days, he devoured the wood heart and obtained 30 drops of supreme golden blood, plus the 5 drops of supreme golden blood he produced himself.

All of them hit my heart.

His Qi and blood value soared to 180 million.

“It’s so difficult. I’m on the road every day.”

to be frank.

The journey was extremely tiring, especially since Xu Ran had been in a Level 170 pollution area for a full days.

Fortunately, we have a clean spirit that can clear away all negative emotions when we go to sleep every day.

Otherwise... he would be very dangerous.

Because according to the records of the God-Slaying Squad, no matter what kind of combat power one has, even if one possesses a purified root bone, once they enter the polluted area, the murderous intent and brutality in their hearts will increase little by little.

After a month, the temper will become bad.

Three months later, all I could think about was killing.

Therefore, the God-Slaying Squad generally has to return within 45 days and will not stay in the safe zone.

With Xu Ran's [Small Purification Talisman], they could stay longer, but only for fifteen days longer.

After 170 days, Xu Ran's mood remained stable, and the negative emotions in his body did not linger until the next day.

This is all thanks to the cleansing spirit!!
at this time.

Xu Ran calculated that he had been in adolescence for 3458 days.

It was around this time that the Death Worm came back.

He put away the paper tree king, jumped onto the clouds, and carefully flew towards the place where the death worm arrested him for the second time.

Yes.

The Death Worm would surely realize something was wrong and come back to get him.

So he ran away early, and his main purpose was to commit illegal logging in a misplaced manner and predict it in advance.

as predicted.

During Xu Ran's flight.

He saw the angry figure of the Death Worm, a kilometer-long monster, flying past at a low altitude of 500 meters.

He was completely unaware of Xu Ran's presence at an altitude of 1000 meters.

“So angry.”

"Fortunately, I ran away, otherwise I would have been attacked by it again."

Xu Ran stared intently. With 180 million HP, he was faster and logging was more satisfying for him.

Ten days later, he crossed 20 provinces and arrived at the other end of the forest.

They began to imitate the tree king and continued to cut down trees illegally.

This time.

The guardian beasts became much more alert, obviously the real tree king had informed them.

Without any choice.

Xu Ran had no choice but to start killing.

182 million health points, are you kidding me?
But two days later.

Xu Ran is picking up Mu Xin.

suddenly!

Xu Ran's hair stood on end.

He was very surprised. According to his calculations, it shouldn't be possible for it to come so soon!

But no matter how surprised he was, he couldn't care less.

He took off directly into the air and jumped onto the clouds.

"boom--"

A loud noise rose to the sky.

A thousand meters away, a beam of light wave shot over and hit the place where the fake tree king was standing.

Seen from above, a semicircular shield of light rose from the forest and spread rapidly, shattering all the trees within a radius of several hundred meters.

Xu Ran stared.

"A new god-level creature has arrived?"

The attack method has changed. The Death Worm is a melee attack, and this one is a long-range attack. It throws a rocket from a long distance, and the lethality is very good, reaching a level above god level.

Xu Ran looked over...

It was a monster with 1500 million HP: dog-shaped, about ten meters long, with a baboon face, covered in black crystal armor, a glowing divine eye pattern between its eyebrows, and two divine eye patterns on its chest.

It was full of murderous intent, and its head turned 360 degrees, looking for Xu Ran's trace.

"You stinky bastard, come out and fight if you have the guts. How can you be a hero if you're sneaking around like that?"

It sneered loudly, as if if Xu Ran showed up, it would tear him into pieces.

"1500 million HP... Even though it's a god-level creature, it doesn't seem enough, right?"

Now, Xu Ran, whose health value is as high as 182 million, should be able to kill a god-level monster with a health value of 1500 million in seconds!

then.

The annihilation field unfolded. A holy spirit suddenly appeared a thousand meters away from Xu Ran and pounced on the dog monster.

The dog monster was suddenly startled.

Because along with the suppression of the Holy Spirit, there also appeared Xu Ran's simulation of pressure.

Xu Ran's fighting style has been upgraded.

He simulated the level of pressure from the Death Worm, giving the dog monster a sense of oppression from its natural enemy.

The dog monster was terrified, its eyes widened instantly, and it quickly ran away.

It sensed that there was a field spreading around it. That field was filled with a strange rule that was eroding its Qi and blood value. Although the consumption was not high, it was extremely terrifying.

The battle between gods, if they are evenly matched, would probably last for more than ten days.

This ability of the other party is simply disgusting!!!
It chose to retreat!

Xu Ran smiled coldly, and the seed of faith shot out, going straight into the back of the dog monster.

have to say.

Xu Ran's combination of moves is extremely amazing.

The rules of the annihilation realm + the weirdness of suppressing the Holy Spirit + the oppression of natural enemies by [Pressure Simulation] create a sense of fear that would make even a god-level monster's scalp tingle.

After all, Xu Ran's nature is not reasonable at all.

This makes [Pressure Simulation] even more oppressive.

When the sense of oppression suddenly increases, the enemy will choose to retreat temporarily.

Choosing to retreat temporarily means lack of faith.

Lack of faith means that you will be more suppressed by the seeds of belief.

This set of combined moves is connected together, approaching art.

At first, the dog monster might just want to retreat and avoid the attack temporarily, but this retreat was like being branded with a mark of fear, and the seed of belief that followed made the mark of fear deeper and deeper.

The dog demon's scalp tingled: "Am I not its opponent?"

“It brings such a strong sense of oppression!”

"No, I cannot be afraid! But why does a sense of death crisis linger in my heart?"

The dog demon's perception was correct. If it allowed the Annihilation Seal to be superimposed, it would indeed be seriously injured and then dragged to death by Xu Ran.

So this also lured the dog demon into a trap.

It has to retreat!

"You've been tricked, huh? It's true that attacking the city is inferior to conquering the heart. I'd call this set of tactics invincible."

Xu Ran chuckled.

Accelerate suddenly.

Rushed to a distance of one thousand meters.

The dog demon was furious and turned around to fight back.

"How can I, a god, not be able to kill a stink bug like you who only knows how to hide?!"

The barghest howled and roared loudly.

Sound waves create impact force.

It seems to make people deaf.

at the same time.

The dog demon's speed increased dramatically, and it was madly approaching Xu Ran's location.

It won’t take long to cover a distance of one thousand meters.

One second at most!
The situation is extremely critical.

If Xu Ran can't kill the dog demon.

He will be torn to pieces by the barghest!

Who can be faster??
Xu Ran's gaze remained unchanged as he swung his sword and slashed continuously!!!

The damage of [Super Explosive Slash] instantly exploded within the dog demon's body.

The dog demon was shocked and stunned, his face full of horror and fear.

"what!!!"

The pain of its body being torn apart made its howl become extremely shrill. It pounced forward ferociously, wanting to endure the injuries and take Xu Ran away. As long as it killed Xu Ran, it didn't matter what happened to it.

It's just a minor injury. So what?

God is fearless!

However, it misjudged the extent of its injuries...

Continuous [Super Explosive Slash] shattered its body into pieces. It charged forward fiercely, its body falling from the air piece by piece, like the remains of a burnt-out rocket...

The dog demon used all its strength to cross a distance of a thousand meters, but its arms, limbs, chest, abdomen, and buttocks all fell behind it, leaving only its head, which crashed into Xu Ran.

Xu Ran sneered.

Crazy retreat.

The gap was more than 300 meters.

This distance is like a natural chasm!
The dog demon couldn't believe it, its eyes rolled and it looked down at itself.

It turned out that he only had a head left.

The rest of the body was cut neatly and fell to the ground. Its flesh was torn into pieces, even the crystal armor was cracked.

"No!"

"How can it be!"

The dog demon was extremely terrified.

It froze in mid-air, but was not dead yet. A strange black light emanated from its head, and then every piece of its body began to emit black light. The broken bodies quickly flew up, trying to merge together and re-form a body.

"Can this still happen?!"

Xu Ran chuckled and continued to swing his sword at the dog demon. Its body continued to be broken into pieces, and its heart and head suddenly exploded.

That's the Annihilation Seal finishing off the enemy.

If the dog demon is at its strongest, then two annihilation seals will definitely not be able to kill it.

But it was severely injured by Xu Ran and turned into a half-dead body. The Seal of Annihilation could take advantage of the opportunity and explode its fatal area.

The heart is broken and the brain is churned.

The dog demon's pupils widened and his face was filled with horror.

Its resurrection trick was interrupted!

Stopped abruptly!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!! Kill, kill, kill!”

It howled and roared, impotent and furious, filled with unprecedented fear and icy waters, drowning it...

In fact, its physical body has perished countless times.

But at this moment, it was extremely terrified because it didn't even see the shadow of its opponent.

And it had a premonition that it might suffer a complete destruction.

But what can it do?

It started and was killed instantly. What else is there to say?

It can't even resist!

The opponent is so strong that it despairs, or in other words, the opponent's strength is probably inferior to its, but its battle strategy and fighting talent are far superior to its!

The dog demon's head fell from the sky with a thud.

Three hundred meters away, Xu Ran's eyes were clear and he showed a faint smile.

have to say.

The dog demon's counterattack was indeed fierce. In just one second, it rushed back 900 meters. It was only a hundred meters away from killing Xu Ran.

If its health value was 2000 million points, it would have been able to tear Xu Ran apart in that counterattack just now, laying a foundation for victory.

In other words, if it could tear Xu Ran to pieces.

Then the seeds of belief and the coercion simulation will become ineffective.

Xu Ran will inevitably be dragged into a protracted war.

Xu Ran does not want to see a protracted war. In his mind, if a protracted war really begins, it would be equivalent to defeat.

The aftermath of a protracted war would attract a lot of attention, and he would definitely not be able to cut wood quietly.

Unfortunately... in a battle of life and death, there is no if, a slight mistake can lead to a huge loss. The dog demon made a mistake in the first step and was unable to reverse the situation until his death.

The battle was over in three minutes.

Seemingly accidental.

In fact, it is inevitable.

It seems easy, but in fact, from the perspective of the dog demon, in just three minutes, it was extremely dangerous and difficult. The whole situation was like a mountain pressing down on one's head!
It deserved to die.

Xu Ran looked at the corpse calmly and analyzed carefully:
"For every ten million HP increase, combat power increases tenfold. Fortunately, I didn't trigger the Bloodthirsty Bone in front of the Death Worm. If I had... I would have used up all my trump cards to kill it. That would have been a waste."

"Fortunately... a combination of factors allowed me to end the battle within three minutes."

This was certainly the result of precise calculation, but it was also the opportunity given by the dog demon.

If the dog demon had been more confident, he wouldn't have won so quickly.

Xu Ran raised his head, his eyes full of confidence: "I gained a lot from this battle, and even underwent a transformation. I feel different now!"

"This battle mobilized all my intelligence!"

Xu Ran's voice was excited and his body was trembling slightly. It was a sign of excitement, joy, and exhilaration.

In the past 170 days, his cultivation speed has been extremely fast.

The Qi and blood value soared by 140 million points.

Although his cultivation level increased quickly, his combat skills would more or less lag behind.

The battle just now seemed to have opened up his Ren and Du meridians, allowing his combat skills to improve like an immortal.

This is not an exaggeration!

Not an exaggeration at all!
Xu Ran's combat capability was directly elevated by dozens of times.

He understood more possibilities.

In the next battle, his calculations and tactics will inevitably be more mature, more sophisticated, and make the enemy more desperate.

And just as Xu Ran was thinking.

A strange eyeball emerged from the dog demon's corpse. The eyeball was blood red and flashed with a crazy light.

That is a strange divine eye that can only be born from creatures above the god level. If the strange divine eye is not broken, the dog demon can be resurrected somewhere and then grow into a god-level creature once again.

This process only takes 50 years.

It quickly flew towards the disaster-level pollution zone at a very fast speed, equivalent to the speed of the peak of the Qiu realm, much faster than it was in the second-level pollution zone.

But unfortunately, Xu Ran is now completely different from what he was back then.

At that time, Xu Ran's health value was only 3, and he still had to lie on Lin Feng's back to track the strange eyeball.

Now Xu Ran leaped and came in front of the strange eyeball.

【Ragnarok】The devouring effect is activated!
The dog demon's corpse and strange eyeballs were all devoured by the power of a higher dimension.

The strange eyeball grew rapidly, trying to hit Xu Ran. Xu Ran sneered and directly activated [Twilight of the Gods] to crush it.

soon.

The battlefield was cleared.

The blood, the flesh, the strange eyeballs, all disappeared.

There was only a deep pit in the distance.

That was the only remnant of the battle.

But it doesn’t matter.

Keep the remnants of the battle, they are still useful!
[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 drop of Divine Essence. You currently have 5 drops of Divine Essence...]

A prompt sound came from my mind.

Xu Ran felt a surge of joy in his heart, and a brilliant smile appeared on his lips. "Thank you so much for coming over to deliver the package. You replenished the drop of divine essence that I needed most. Great!"

"water!"

Without saying a word, he poured 5 drops of divine origin into the second sequence: Suppressing the Holy Spirit.

The second suppressed Holy Spirit is born!
The suppression effect is +10%, and the stacking speed of the seal becomes faster due to the improvement of the Holy Spirit's suppression effect.

"Very good, very good!"

Xu Ran's eyes were bright and clear.

He quickly unleashed Three Thousand Thunders and began to chop down trees frantically nearby.

After 30 days.

Xu Ran, who had a health value of 180 million, cut down trees even faster. In just one month, he obtained 40 drops of supreme golden blood by devouring the wood heart, plus the 5 drops he had bred, a total of 45 drops.

"Judging by the time, the Death Worm should be here soon."

"It thought there was a god-level creature here that could prevent me from logging, but who knew I had killed the dog demon in an instant? Haha... This unexpected thing can be considered a surprise for it."

"After all, it attacked me twice. When I become stronger, I will come back and attack you again."

Xu Ran is very vindictive.

But now is not the time to fight a life-and-death battle with the Death Worm.

Because he didn't know what tricks the god-level creature with 30 million health points had.

And he has more important things to do - he has been out training for 215 days, he must learn the formation altar and then go home, otherwise everyone will worry.

As for revenge.

Let’s talk about it after the next experience.

Think so.

Xu Ran used Three Thousand Thunders and rushed towards the disaster-contaminated area.

While on the road, he melted drops of supreme golden blood into his heart.

When 45 drops of supreme golden blood merge into the body.

Xu Ran's health value reached a terrifying level of 240 million!
The spirit value has also reached 50!
This is terrifying. He has now entered the area contaminated by natural disasters and has room to protect himself. He can escape if he encounters a god.

Time flies, and Xu Ran runs towards the disaster-contaminated area.

……

Behind.

In the forest, bursts of roars erupted into the sky.

"You thief!!! You thief!!! You thief!!! I swear to tear you into pieces!!"

The Death Worm was furious.

He never expected that the thief could actually kill the dog demon he called over. The key point was... he killed it cleanly and silently, making it impossible for the dog demon to see through him.

Tree King: "God, the thieves cut down 3000 trees. The loss is heavy."

Death Worm: "Pick all the wood hearts and don't let that thief steal them again. Give them all to me to heal my injuries. As soon as I recover, I will take you back to your home planet and enclose a piece of land for you to complete the ritual."

The Tree King lowered his head to the ground and said, "Yes, Lord. I will obey your orders."

As long as they could become gods, everything would be fine! Even if it took thousands of years, it was worth it. For a race like them, becoming gods was a matter of time.

Being able to cling to a supreme god and seeing the hope of becoming a god, it naturally wants to cling to him tightly.

Otherwise, you will be just a demigod all your life, not as good as the best, but better than the worst. You must provide Mu Xin to the strong all your life. It wants to defy the will of heaven, it wants to change fate, it wants my fate to be my own, not the will of heaven!
Think so.

The roots of the tree king penetrated into the ground, and streams of strange energy were drawn out, condensing into a ball of green light. This was the appearance of the wood heart fused together, full of strange vitality.

The Death Worm was overjoyed: "Throw it to me! Throw it to me quickly!"

The Tree King flicked his tongue and threw a ball of green light at the Death Worm. The Death Worm swallowed it in one gulp and let out a long, comfortable breath. Gouts of black air shot out from its body.

"You can also provide me with 8 more. Hurry up, don't let this thief ruin this good deed of mine!"

The death worms moved madly, like misers.

…………

the other side.

After five days of flying, Xu Ran has arrived at the edge of the disaster-level pollution zone.

The scene here changed.

The black pollution that originally floated in the air and formed a pollution cloud turned into a number of pitch-black heads.

The heads were spread out on the ground, forming mountains and riverbeds.

Dirty water is rushing in the river, and monsters are floating in the river.

Looking around, there are endless heads emitting black air, with no end in sight.

Those heads seemed to be laughing, crying, angry, screaming in fear, mocking, or dying in agony. There were all kinds of emotions in the world, and the scene was chilling.

Xu Ran frowned.

The pollution becomes a physical entity. This is the disaster-level pollution zone. The pollution turns into strange heads and covers the ground.

The God-Slaying Squad said that they can't stay in the disaster-level contaminated area for too long... These strange heads will cause mental pollution.

All monsters will have increased combat effectiveness and speed under the influence of such strange heads, especially at night, so they must find a hiding place before nightfall.

If you encounter a tree, you must be extra careful, as those trees will attack you actively.

Be careful of monsters on the roadside and avoid them.

It is best to wear the crystal armor of the baboon monster. The crystal armor of the baboon monster emits a strong stench and rotten smell. In the disaster-level pollution zone, it is a walking defense.

The other monsters didn't bother to look at it.

Although hiding in the crystal armor made me feel nauseous and I wanted to vomit, for the sake of my life, a little nausea was nothing.

Xu Ran recalled the knowledge in the book.

Smiling and shaking his head.

It’s great to have invisibility.

The crystal armor of the Baboon Demon? No need, just fly forward!
Xu Ran, with 240 million HP, quickly rushed forward.

Half a day later.

Xu Ran heard shouts and screams.

Xu Ran followed the sound.

On the plain ahead, groups of crystal beasts were running wildly forward. They were of different sizes, some were over five meters long, some were only half a meter long, some were like snake men, some were like lions and tigers, and some were like crabs. They were either holding weapons, carrying shields, or holding staffs.

In short, it looks weird.

The blood and qi values ​​basically exceeded one million, some reached three million, and there were even crystal beasts with blood and qi values ​​of tens of millions appearing on the plains.

They pounced on the opposite army of resentful beasts like a swarm of ants.

Compared with crystal beasts, the army of resentful beasts is much smaller.

They are elite soldiers, and there are only more than 20 resentful beasts in the entire battlefield.

They are very strange, with a blood value of over 800 million. Their mountain-like bodies are covered with tentacles and eyes. The tentacles slap the crystal armor of the crystal beasts, and the corrosive pollution causes the crystal armor to gradually crack.

The crystal beasts rushed towards the 20 resentful beasts like ants gnawing on beetles, not caring about their own lives.

The howling shook the clouds.

It's terrifying.

Xu Ran remained calm and walked silently across the battlefield.

I don’t know why such encounters happen, but it’s probably because of fighting for territory or treasures.

"Is there something good nearby?"

Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and began to analyze subconsciously.

"Judging from the battle situation, it's the Crystal Beasts that are mobilizing their forces to repel the invasion of the Resentful Beasts."

"Then the crystal beast should be guarding something."

"Let me see what it is and see if I can take it away."

Think so.

Xu Ran set out from the rear of the crystal beast army and began his treasure hunt.

Two hours later.

He saw a city.

Black pollution formed a high wall. Within the wall, mushroom-like black buildings were arranged in an orderly manner in the city, the small ones were ten meters high, the large ones were twenty meters high. In the center of the city stood a huge mushroom building, a full seven stories high!

With the mushroom in the city as the core, a cross-shaped road was laid out. In the middle of each road, there was an altar.

Surrounding the altar are eight dark green stone pillars, like gems emitting nuclear radiation, with strange symbols engraved on them.

“It’s the altar!”

"This is exactly what I need!"

Xu Ran was surprised.

I didn’t expect to see the altar just half a day after entering the natural disaster contaminated area.

Sure enough, altars are very common in areas contaminated by natural disasters.

In this case, we must study hard.

Xu Ran hid in front of the stone pillar and began to comprehend it carefully. At this stage, his comprehension was extremely high, and he was only 2000 points away from reaching the next sequence - [Excellent at Sudden Enlightenment].

He understood the information on the eight stone pillars in just half an hour.

Not only did he understand it thoroughly, but he also mastered some knowledge of talismans.

The talisman and magic array systems are very similar.

But the way to use it is different. If Xu Ran were to create it himself, he would have to wait until he was good at enlightenment.

If there is a ready reference.

Xu Ran understood it immediately.

Such as now.

He knew it.

At this moment, the altar is used to place captives on it, sacrifice them to the gods, and then receive the gods' blessings.

The god who enjoys the sacrifice is a three-headed snake.

Strength unknown.

Xu Ran learned this kind of sacrifice.

Turn to other altars.

The second altar can actually be used to decompose bright objects and transform them into strange pollution.

Xu Ran was stunned.

"An altar like this... I'm afraid it's the source of the pollution. Can I reverse it?"

Xu Ran studied it carefully for two hours and found that this altar was very advanced.

He actually couldn’t understand it!!!

So Xu Ran could only look for another altar - the Ancient Blessing Altar. This one was also quite complicated, probably an altar where the crystal beasts awakened and asked the ancient gods to bless the crystal beasts.

"Looks like I'll have to wait until I'm [Adept at Sudden Enlightenment] before I can comprehend the Decomposition Altar."

"I have a feeling this altar can be reversed. If I can fully understand it, I can go back and build an altar that can decompose pollution and transform it into pure spiritual energy!"

Xu Ran's eyes were clear.

As the sky was about to get dark, he disappeared in the Crystal Beast City.

We found a cave to live in among the distant mountains. There were actually signs that someone had lived in this cave.

Xu Ran smiled faintly and expanded the cave.

Then a pool of water was purified.

I went out to find food.

When he came back from eating hazel grouse and took a bath...

He no longer has clothes, but is now wearing paper clothes, which are strong, durable, handsome, and most importantly, can withstand attacks.

He can block part of the attack with 1200 million health points, plus his physical strength of 240 million.

very good.

If the paper armor can be effective at an infinite distance from him, then this thing will be the best armor!

He can heal himself by absorbing ghost energy. As Xu Ran's strength increases, his defense also increases... He is simply invincible.

pity……

There's no way to do it.

Only Xu Ran can enjoy it, and of course Xu Ran’s teammates can also enjoy it in the future.

After taking a shower.

Xu Ran sent out paper warriors to guard the night, sealed the cave, and then affixed a small hidden treasure talisman...

I won’t carve talismans today.

Go to the altar to understand tomorrow.

Xu Ran had a sound and peaceful sleep. He hadn't slept like this for a long time since he started logging. When he woke up, he felt refreshed and rejuvenated.

Just wash up briefly.

Xu Ran came to the city in stealth and gained some insights before decomposing the altar. Many crystal beasts passed by Xu Ran. Xu Ran did not dare to concentrate on studying them and could only watch.

But it’s really hard to understand.

"An altar like this must have been built by some powerful being, perhaps the Supreme Being. In short, it's very complicated."

"But it doesn't matter. In just 19 days, I'll be at the Sequence [Adept at Sudden Enlightenment] level. That's just over ten days, so there's no need to rush."

Xu Ran stared.

If you are good at sudden enlightenment, you will definitely be able to crack this altar, right?
Should, probably, maybe...

Can't fail...

Xu Ran sighed slightly...
