A giant bird perched on the opposite branch, and the branch made a crisp sound, as if overwhelmed. The bird was even bigger than the previous one, almost twice as large as they were.

At this time, the bird noticed Chu Tan's gaze, slowly waved its wings, and came towards Chu Tan.

Chu Yan's right hand held the sword hard.

After the bird flew over, Chu Tan jumped onto the bird, and the bird was still not in a hurry, flying slowly, as if nothing had happened.

He hesitated, but did not swing his sword.

The giant bird seemed to be about to take him somewhere, flew around something three times, and then let out a long chirp—

Shocked, Chu Tan hurriedly grabbed the bird's feathers.

At this moment, a wall slowly opened, as if it had come in between.

After Chu Tan got off the giant bird, he plunged a sword into its tail, and the bird immediately turned into ashes just like the other birds.

Chu Tan let out a sigh and turned around-

It was an empty room, and there was a huge portrait of the person depicted in it, apparently Xiao Xuantian. Next to the portrait is a pair of words: My life is up to me, not to the sky, and if the sky wants to destroy me, I will destroy the sky.

Even if Chu Yan, who didn't have any good feelings for Xiao Xuantian, he had to praise his good spirit.

Walking into this, Chu Tan found that there was actually nothing special in it, it seemed to be just a place for people to rest, and he also found half a tank of water.

Chu Tan looked at the water and closed the lid again, he didn't plan to drink it. I thought to myself: I knew that there was no water and food, so I might as well eat those birds. But he remembered that the bird was completely destroyed at every turn, and there was no flesh at all, so he dispelled that thought again.

Trials and trials, but also how to train people not to die of thirst and starvation?

Chu Tan sneered lightly to express his dissatisfaction, and then sat down to meditate, only to find that almost all of his injuries had been healed by that system, and his body was not unwell, just a little thirsty......

Chu Tan asked, "Is there water?" ”

[Nope.] 】

Guan Chongshui checked the attribute panel, and the opinion is now 12, and he won't open the food self-sufficiency skill until 20.

Chu Tan stopped talking and began to rest.

Favorability becomes 11.

Chu Tan didn't know, he was really pushing himself to a dead end.

As soon as the host dies, he can go back, not to mention that this host doesn't even have a wish, and he can't help him if he wants to. However, it is the first time that I have accomplished so many things in this world, and I have increased my energy to three percent, and then think about how much energy there is in this tree.

Guan Chongshui thought for a while, and decided to at least help the host until he got out of this tree, after all, there was still so much energy in front of him.

Chu Tan quickly rested and continued to walk up. There is quite a feeling of "killing gods when encountering gods, and killing Buddhas when encountering Buddhas".

Guan Chongshui found that every tenth of the tree trunk passed, the monsters to be fought would change, and the environment of the tree would also change slightly, and the space would become relatively smaller. If the tree is divided into ten layers, then the odd layer is all animals, and the even layer is mutant plants. Only on the tenth floor, he couldn't find out. Therefore, in the tenth layer, there are either living beings with higher energy than him, or there are energy bodies with higher energy than him.

Guan Chongshui waited until the cooldown time was up, and then activated the skills, and later found that it was more efficient to swap the uses to make up for the ten minutes of cooldowns instead of using all the skills at the same time.

When Chu Tan painstakingly cut off the last section of the man-eating flower that tried to eat him, his mouth was dry and he wiped a handful of sweat.

This is the eighth layer.

At this point, the opinion rating is 19.

Guan Chongshui looked at Chu Tan worriedly, and found that his state was really not very good, if he hadn't reminded him in time just now, I am afraid that Chu Tan would have drunk the poisonous juice of the man-eating flower. Yes, Chu Tan hasn't drunk water for almost three days.

Guan Chongshui opened the system panel to find a way, and accidentally clicked on another song-

[The most willing to forget the old thing, the most disdainful is lovesickness.

Guarding love is afraid of people laughing, and afraid of people seeing clearly.

I came to see the red beans bloom in the spring, but I didn't see a lover to pick them.

The fireworks are embracing the romance and the true love is not there. 】

Chu Tan didn't have any expression this time, until the song was finished, and after a while, he slowly closed his eyes.

Opinion increased by 2 points.

Guan Chongshui first used the healing skill, then quickly turned on the food function, and chose water and bread inside.

These are all taught by Chu Wei.

In an ordinary system, you can figure out these functions on your own, but Guan Chongshui cannot.

Chu Tan slowly closed his eyes and clenched his fists.

There is so much more he hasn't done!

[Alarm, the host's health is too low, the system will automatically form a form to help the host for ten minutes.] 】

Before Guan Chongshui could react, he had already become a person.

He touched his arm, and finally became convinced that he was no longer the empty shadow of the previous incarnation system, but a real and genuine person!

A hint of disbelief flashed on the young man's delicate face, and his numb face finally gained popularity, and he smiled shyly.

That smile is like a poppy blooming in an instant on the entire hillside.

He carefully clenched his fists, took out a bottle of mineral water that had just appeared in the system, and put Chu Yan's head on his lap.

Chu Yan's face was handsome and indifferent, even if his lips were chapped, it still didn't affect his good face. At this moment, he seemed to feel that someone was feeding him sweet water. He couldn't wait to start swallowing, then slowly opened his eyes.

It was a delicate and delicate young man, who lowered his eyes and carefully tilted the water bottle so as not to wet their clothes. The boy was dressed in a costume he had never seen before, and seemed so preoccupied with the act of feeding the water that he didn't even notice when he woke up.

Chu Tan raised his hand slightly, Guan Chongshui realized that he had woken up, was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly happily, and then handed him the water bottle.

Chu Tan took the water bottle, feeling that since he saw this young man, he was a little abnormal, he was anxious and crazy, and his hands couldn't help but squeak the mineral water bottle.

The young man had slender hands and feet, and the clothes he wore were very thin, revealing pale skin, which was because he was rarely exposed to the sun, but Chu Tan liked it very much.

――Like?

Chu Yan was slightly stunned, as if he had never thought that this kind of feeling would appear on him.

Guan Chongshui opened the bread bag and was familiar with Chu Tan's character, so he broke a piece and ate it himself first to prove that the bread was not poisonous.

The food produced by the system was good, there were meat floss, beef, and lettuce, he swallowed it carefully, and then handed the rest to Chu Yan.

Chu Tan took a bite and found that this thing was unexpectedly delicious, so he looked at the young man.

The boy was looking at him earnestly.

Chu Tan's heart trembled, and he seemed to have an instinctive pity for the young man. I wanted to touch the boy's head, but after reaching out my hand, I found that this action was not suitable for the relationship between the two current strangers, and his hands were even more dusty because of the fight, so he changed the action of reaching out to take water.

As soon as the cooling time of the water passed, Guan Chongshui quickly brought another bottle of water. It wasn't until Chu Tan nodded at him to thank him that he reacted, how could he take care of this person so easily-

Guan Chongshui shook his head slightly and looked at Chu Tan again.

Chu Tan quickly ate half a loaf of bread, but he didn't finish it because he was worried that he would be uncomfortable if he ate too much at once, so he drank some more water. Then he asked, "Who are you?" ”

"System." The boy's voice was a little hoarse, not like he spoke often.

"System ......" Chu Tan thought to himself, this was the same voice that he had only heard once before.

"What's your name?"

Guan Chongshui was slightly stunned, and then he realized that the person in front of him was asking his name, so he replied hesitantly, "Guan Chongshui." ”

"I'm Chu Tan."

"Hmm." Guan Chongshui thought to himself: This person probably knows that now is the time to truly admit himself. And, in his opinion, the conversation should be over.

Chu Tan asked, "Why did you ask about my wish before?" ”

If, yes, it's the same as the previous systems...... Chu Tan thought to himself, maybe he would agree this time.

There are only forty seconds left in the countdown.

Guan Chongshui spoke: "I will help you realize your wishes, and you will also help me complete some things, agree?" ”

Chu Tan asked, "What do you want me to do?" ”

Guan Chongshui said, "You first say your wishes. ”

Chu Yan didn't have any wishes now, but this time he nodded and looked directly into the young man's clear eyes.

The boy quickly looked away.

"Yes."

When the time of ten minutes of transformation was up, Guan Chongshui disappeared from its place.

"Guan Chongshui?"

[Hmm.] 】

The two resumed their communication with each other.

"Can't you become a human?"

[It just happened by accident.] 】

Chu Tan rested for a while, ate the rest of the bread, and brought a small half bottle of water, and then continued the trial road.

Guan Chongshui clicked on the panel and found that the favorability had become 30.

…… He just showed his face.

Sure enough, humans love their own kind.

Guan Chongshui continued to open up the defensive skill.

The ninth layer should be some kind of animal according to the law, but the tenth layer still doesn't know what it is.

After a while, Guan Chongshui looked at the dragon that suddenly appeared in front of him expressionlessly.

Now he was absolutely sure that there was something in this world.

[Be careful behind you, there are two dragons, and the weakness is in the head. 】

It took some effort for Chu Tan to cut off the head of one of the dragons this time, while the other dragon seemed to be stimulated and flew towards the tenth layer with a long roar.

Chu Tan chased after him, all the way to the tenth floor.

In front of him was a fork in the road, and two roads appeared.

This time, Guan Chongshui finally couldn't detect any news, so he honestly told Chu Tan that he didn't know how to go.

Chu Tan threw a stone towards the hole on the left, and there was a crisp sound, and the stone fell to the ground.

He walked in.

It was dark inside, and ordinary people couldn't see anything. Fortunately, the martial arts student has good eyesight, and Chu Tan can still see some outlines.

The hole narrowed until it was just big enough for a person to walk through.

Chu Tan's footsteps slowed down, and he seemed to hear heavy breathing.

The wall shattered, Chu Tan dodged in time because he had been prepared, and the dragon actually broke through the wall! rushed towards Chu Tan with an astonishing momentum.

Chu Tan looked at it indifferently, and it barely took much time to figure out that this dragon would definitely not be able to perform in such a narrow tunnel, so he took a light leap.

The dragon groaned, bent and prepared to bite upward.

The walls were rubbed against the dragon's body and stones were falling continuously, and the whole cave began to shake.

Chu Tan stood on a stone on a high place, lowered his head and looked at the dragon, hooked his lips and smiled.

The dragon's movements suddenly stopped—stuck.

But the shaking of the entire cave did not stop, and Chu Tan glanced up.

[Follow the cave.] 】

Chu Tan no longer looked at the exit above, listened to Guan Chongshui's words, and walked along the cave all the way inside.

Fortunately, the cave inside did not narrow again, otherwise Chu Tan would not have been able to get through at all.

The cave shook violently again, and Chu Tan had to hold on to the wall, but he didn't know what he had pressed.

With a "click", the cave stopped shaking, and another branch road appeared in front of Chu Tan's eyes.

[Go in.] Guan Chongshui immediately spoke,

He felt as if there was something in it that was guiding him.

After Chu Tan walked in about ten meters, fluorescence began to appear inside, and slowly, the fluorescence became more and more, until he walked to the innermost - a table, where a box lay quietly.

Chu Tan opened it, and a dazzling white light immediately emitted inside, which was stronger than all the fluorescence outside combined.

It was a pure and immaculate piece of jade.

No, Guan Chongshui knows, it's alive...... Energy.

As soon as the box was opened, all the fluorescence in the cave was sucked in.

This time, the cave is finally about to collapse because it has no energy to support it.

【Leave.】 】

Chu Tan took the box and immediately pulled away, rushing towards the light exposed at the top.

Guan Chongshui also found that his energy bar began to soar upwards like a rocket, 6 percent 9 percent 12 percent...... Later, the rate of rise gradually slowed down.

In the end, the energy stopped at 30 percent.

After Chu Tan came out of here, he found that not only the giant tree, but the whole mountain was shaking, he rushed to the house first, but unexpectedly saw the note left by Xiao Yi on the table: I went to the martial arts conference, and if you want to come, you will come to look for me.

So Chu Tan left the mountain alone, no, it should be Guan Chongshui.

At the moment of leaving, he glanced back—

Verdant deep mountains, gurgling water, deep white clouds.

Such a beautiful scenery turned into a stagnant mountain and dark clouds at that moment because of the loss of energy.
