Chapter Eighty-Seven: Mutants
The first rays of sunlight seeped through the layers of leaves to the surface, and it seemed to awaken the sleeping creatures, and it was safe to rest under the heavenly tree, which also confirmed one thing for Sakurama, that there was no so-called godhead successor among the four of them.

"Huh......" Mu Feng washed his face by the nearby river, his stomach was empty, if he could raise a nuclear-level creature like Rozter, he wouldn't starve.
"Did you sleep well last night?" asked Chigusa as she brushed her wet hair from her forehead.
"It's okay, it's much better than the other day. After waking up, Mu Fengye began to limp back to the Heavenly Tree with the support of Chigusa, and the broken bones were already able to move a little in just one night, the self-healing system of this world is really exaggerated, but this is also the biggest test for people.
Healed wounds only fuel more hatred and fighting, and it is not only the blood that flows from the wounds, but also the human intellect and emotions, which will eventually turn them into a murderer, and the winner will not even be able to face the present world.
"You're back, these are Yucher's tentacles, and while they look ugly, they provide a decent level of nutrients. Sakurama handed a few green tentacles to Mu Fengye and Chigusa, and now as soon as he saw this kind of thing, the gastric juice began to roll vigorously, and there was a burst of pain in his right leg, because this thing was like a miniature version of the sun-level tentacles from yesterday!
"Yucher? what's that?" Chigusa tried to put it in her mouth and took a bite, the full juice suddenly exploded in her mouth, it didn't taste bad, but it wasn't much better, she swallowed a whole tentacle hard, and her body seemed to be full.
"A solar-sized flower that spreads pollen that disturbs the human spirit. "The Yucher in Sakuruma's mouth is the same species as the flower they met in the second forest that day, and these tentacles have dried up a lot, and it seems that they were picked yesterday.
"Chigusa, let's go, join up with the others as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know what will happen to you if you stay. Chie took Chigusa's hand and walked towards the spiral pattern of the Heavenly Tree, and then another problem was placed in front of them.
With Mu Fengye's injured right leg, it was difficult to even walk, let alone let him climb such a high heavenly tree, but no one could support him on the spiral pattern, and the one-person-wide pattern could only rely on himself.
"It's really troublesome, forget it, for the sake of you saving my sister...... "Chie climbed the line first, and then pulled Chigusa up as well, "I barely pulled you, we can't help you on the road behind." ā
Sakurama glanced at Mu Fengye and motioned for him to go up first.
"Thank you, Jinguji. ā
"Hmph, don't get me wrong, I just want to return you a favor!" Chie let Chigusa go to the front, and she lay down on the line and stretched out her hand downward.
"Then yesterday's ......"
"Yesterday's was the cherry blossom room, okay, now we don't owe each other, hey! You can't get up yet?!"
Sakurama dragged Mu Fengye's left leg from behind, and forcefully sent him to the line, and then she jumped up and walked slowly behind Mu Fengye.
The ten-minute journey took two hours to complete, entering the world of the Tree Dome, which was different from the last time she came, but Sakuruma was very familiar with it, because this was the end of the world when they came down.
The moment she came up, Sakuruma suddenly remembered that it was a beach, what if that place was also the end of the Tree Dome World?
"Probably so......"
"What's wrong?" Looking at Sakura's self-talk, Mu Fengye couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing, just stumbled upon the secrets of the Tree Dome World. Sakuruma glanced back at the false sky, it was connected to the Sky Tree, and the beach before it was the other end, there should be four such places, they make up this tree dome world, and the foundation is also a space centered on the four heavenly trees, which means that the world of the tree dome is not only one in this forest, no matter what, it will come to the end of the four directions, they are like gifts trapped in a gift box.
"There's no point in staying in this place, find Takagi and get out of here. ā
"Do you mean let's go back to the way we used to live?" asked Chie with a frown.
"Sister, I feel the need to get out of here. ā
Two of the four had already expressed their opinions, and the rest of Mu Fengye must have followed Sakura's idea, besides, the world of the tree dome was not what it used to be, maybe the current place was not as safe as the forest below.
"Forget it, listen to you. ā
Before sunset, the four of them found the mark left by Shinomiya on the trunk of the tree in the other direction of the Hanging Garden, a very simple arrow carved with a knife, and the side was full of paw prints, but fortunately, they didn't see any blood along the way.
"This is the mark left by the four houses, they should go that way. Sakuruma observed the surroundings, although Takagi promised that he would always move in a straight line, but I'm afraid he wouldn't do this, now Sakurama and Mu Fengye have become dispensable people, whether it's obsidian or the battle with monsters, he already knows about it, and he can't stay by his side anymore if he's squeezed out of useful people.
"These paw prints...... It's so deep. Chigusa touched the scratches on the trunk of the tree, they were more than ten centimeters deep, it seems that there must be some fierce monster in the vicinity, from the size of the species, it should not be a sun-level dangerous species, but even a nuclear-level creature can have such destructive power, it should not be underestimated.
Sakuruma kept staring at the other tree, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Sakurama, it's time for us to go, if that's the case, it'll be dark, and then ......"
Before Mu Fengye could finish speaking, Sakuruma suddenly approached the tree and said softly, "Some of them are injured." ā
"Huh, but there's no blood here. Mu Fengye glanced at the trunk of the tree that Sakurama had been looking at, there were some knife marks on it, it seemed that there had been a fierce battle here, and at this time he suddenly understood what Sakuruma meant, if he had experienced a battle, even if the monster was injured, it would leave blood stains, but it was too clean here.
"The monster chasing them should be one of Silph's. Sakuruma turned her head to Chigusa's position, as if to measure the distance between the two trees, "If the wind blows from one end to the other, it will definitely become dispersed, and the forces they concentrate will also be separated, these are not their knife marks, just the claw prints of the monster." ā
"The distance here is about six meters, and it's easy to scratch a person with a claw made of wind elements within a range of six meters, although there is no blood on the surface of this place, I'm afraid it's hard to say if you go a little further. ā
"It's impossible, there won't be a monster here that can hurt them. ā
"Gao Zhi didn't desperately save anyone like you, it seems that some of them plan to stay and fight, and I don't know why they gave up this idea. Sakuruma twisted a black crystal floating in the air, the obsidian weapon would not be completely evaporated after it was disarmed, but would leave behind a substance that few people could find.
"Who's going to be hurt?"
"Then it depends on who is unlucky, and I warn you that even if you have an obsidian weapon, you may not be able to escape under the hands of such a monster, so think about who usually walks behind the group. Sakuruma walked quickly into the depths of the forest, and there were many more of these paw prints in front of him, sometimes shallow and sometimes deep, seemingly caused by the wind blades emitted at different angles and distances.
"Sirina......
"Hey, you three hurry up and try to get out of this forest before dark, or we won't be able to stop at night. Sakuruma looked up at the brightness of the sun, it was about half past five in the afternoon, and there was still an hour and a half before nightfall, and the forest was full of dangerous smells, and he really shouldn't have walked in at this time.
The sun gradually lost its luster, and at the turn of day and night, the world ushered in the most eerie moment, the light of the sun and the moon made the place extremely white, everything lost its luster, except for the hair color of Sakuruma and Mu Fengye, everything became far from before, like a painting that had forgotten to color.
The sky becomes pitch black, and the alternating time is about twenty minutes, and after twenty minutes, the sun's brilliance will be completely covered by the moon, and the sky will draw up a map of the starry sky.
Ten minutes later, the world went from white to dark, it was a deep white, only darker, and it was absolutely contradictory in this world, but here it became a matter of course.
The things that amazed them were not only that, in the last five minutes of the alternation of day and night, a sound of wings flapping came from the forest in the distance, Mu Fengye did not leave the forest before dark as they wished, now they can only pray that this voice will go away quickly, fighting unknown creatures in the dark is the worst thing!
"Sakurama ......"
"Shhhhhhh Sakuruma walked and stopped, always speculating about the location of the monster, the frequency of wings flapping was very fast, like a bee, if it was the monster that attacked Takagi before, the current situation is really not optimistic, as long as it enters its attack range, it will only die!
There is no doubt that the difficulty of the gods is not only the number of monsters, but also the fact that each species seems to have another variant, which may become more lethal, or remove previously known weaknesses and fully evolve into more powerful nuclear-class creatures.
"fluttering ......"
The sound was getting closer and closer, and Sakuruma had to stop moving for a while, if that thing was a mutant of Silph, then it must have the characteristic of relying on air fluctuations to distinguish its prey, as long as it didn't make any movements, it wouldn't produce the wind that attracted it, and it would be relieved to hold it out until it left.
