0386 Heart of Wood
The scholar saw that he was about to leave as soon as he returned, and when he realized that something was wrong, he interrogated him severely.
Su Zhe could only perfunctory that he was carrying out the tasks arranged by his superiors and would be able to come back soon.
Although I know that the scholar's cultivation is advanced and his combat power is strong, in the Valley of Death, it is not that if he is strong, he will definitely be fine.
The scholar is a master who really loves him, and he doesn't want him to take risks.
asked the scholar to wait for him in Jiangzhou, and then called to arrange various matters.
Su Zhe started a large purchase, a large amount of food, water, medicine, tents, spotlights, sapper shovels and other tools for survival in the wilderness were loaded into the space by him, and those who didn't know thought he was going camping.
Of course, he didn't need these things with his cultivation, but there were members of the exploration team and special forces fighters inside, and they were very likely to be injured, so he had to prepare these things.
The shepherds living in the nearby Death Valley of Kunlun would rather let their cattle and sheep starve to death on the Gobi Desert because they had no fat and grass to eat, rather than let them eat in the ancient and silent valley of Kunlun Mountain.
Su Zhe was like an ordinary tourist, carrying a backpack and walking towards the depths of the canyon.
The blue sky is full of white clouds, the river is murmuring, and the yellow ground is full of green shoots, full of infinite vitality, and it looks so quiet and harmonious.
But Su Zhe knew that these were all appearances, and the most terrifying thing in the Valley of Death was all kinds of natural disasters.
The power of nature is not something that can be resisted by manpower, the power of heaven is unpredictable, and he said that he will change his face, he walked all the way, carefully observed some clues, and tried to find the whereabouts of the exploration team.
However, as soon as the exploration team entered the valley, it was as if the world had evaporated, leaving no trace, perhaps there had been traces, but it was only covered by the storm with sand and dust.
Su Zhe took out the satellite phone and found that there was no signal at all, and there seemed to be a magnetic field here, shielding all modern tools.
The watch doesn't move, the phone doesn't have a signal, and even the compass doesn't move.
What made him feel most incredible was that the role of his spiritual power map here was also infinitely reduced, and it could only cover a range of more than ten meters around, and the speed of spiritual power loss was extremely fast.
He only opened the mental power map for half an hour, and he felt mentally exhausted, and his head ached faintly.
Su Zhe reluctantly withdrew his spiritual power, and walked forward step by step, since he saw a goshawk scorched black by a thunderbolt that suddenly landed in the sky, he completely gave up his intention to fly.
It seemed to be changing every moment, and there was no longer the slightest hint of the familiar sight he had seen a few years ago.
This made him no longer have any advantage, and he no longer had the confidence he had before when he found Wen Hansheng and others.
Ahead was a dense forest, and in this season, those towering trees were blooming, which made him subconsciously raise his vigilance.
Although he had no cold or heat, when he entered the woods, he was still shocked to find that the woods were as warm as spring.
He exited the forest, still bitterly cold outside, and took a step forward, but it was as warm as spring, as if the woods and the canyon belonged to two different worlds.
Fortunately, he already had enough mental capacity to do anything that violated the laws of nature in Death Valley.
The woods seemed to be boundless, and the only thing that made Su Zhe worry in his heart was that it was too quiet here, with no birds, no insects, no animals, and not even the wind.
In the whole woods, there was only the rustle of his walking, and the silence made people panic.
Su Zhe tensed his nerves, not daring to relax in the slightest, even if he consumed more spiritual power, he had to spread out the mental power map and observe the surrounding environment at any time.
There was a thick layer of leaves on the ground, and I don't know how many years no one had come, making it extremely difficult for Su Zhe to take every step.
Suddenly, Su Zhe found a broken strip of cloth, and he quickly stepped forward to check it, and the strip of cloth hung on the thorny vines of a large tree.
Camouflage, this is the field uniform of the Chinese special soldiers, which shows that Wen Hansheng and they are likely to have passed here.
This discovery lifted Su Zhe's spirits, and it seemed that he was not on the wrong path.
Just as he was about to reach out and take off the strip of cloth, a cool air rushed to his head, his scalp tingled, and a pair of eyes stared at him hollowly in the thick leaves under the vines.
It was the skeleton of a human being, and only the skeleton of the whole person remained, and most of the body was buried in the leaves, and only half of the head was exposed.
The skin and flesh on his face have been shriveled, this kind of dried corpse Su Zhe is no stranger, it seems that he has been sucked dry by something.
If it weren't for the broken camouflage uniform on his bones, Su Zhe wouldn't have been sure that he was one of Wen Hansheng's others.
Su Zhe was surprisingly angry, the soldiers of Huaguo did not die honorably on the battlefield, but died here aggrievedly.
He took a step forward and put the bones into the Star Demon Space, and he wanted to take him out for burial, which was what a Chinese soldier should be.
But as soon as he put away the bones, there was a rustling sound in the woods, which was small at first, but gradually it became louder and louder.
When Su Zhe heard this, he suddenly got goosebumps, he finally understood how this warrior died, and finally knew why there were no creatures here.
The thorn vines moved, slowly wriggling like long spiritual snakes, and then the whole forest was filled with the sound of vines wriggling.
The dead woods come to life, this is the bloodthirsty vines, this is the killing forest, and the trees here are fed by the blood of living beings.
Su Zhe had a look of horror on his face, he didn't know if Wen Hansheng and the others would be wiped out here.
He didn't care about it now, the entire forest had become a world of bloodthirsty vines, and they had laid a net like bloodsucking demons.
It was as if a group of snakes were dancing wildly, and they were winding around him with teeth and claws.
The divine martial order was issued, turning into a long sword, and Su Zhe brazenly slashed at the bloodthirsty vines that were densely wrapped around him, running forward while fighting.
The sound of "poof" was endless, and what made Su Zhe feel mad in his heart the most was that every time a vine was cut off, the broken vine would wriggle on the ground, just like a broken earthworm, which was devoured by other vines.
When devoured, the broken vines will also emit a terrible "squeak" scream, as if they are creatures with souls.
As more and more vines were cut off, the entire forest was enraged.
The wind blew suddenly, and the trees in the woods were like giant dryads, swaying constantly.
The leaves made a strange noise in the wind, and the sound became louder and louder, disturbing people's minds,
Su Zhe slashed tirelessly, but he felt that the vines seemed endless, and a desperate emotion permeated, making his mind gradually fall into a drowsy, and even the movements in his hands slowed down unconsciously.
With a hiss, Su Zhe's shoulder was scratched by a thorn on a vine, and the burning pain made him sober for a moment.
Being affected by his sanity, Su Zhe was shocked, and bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and the pain made his confused brain sober.
Perhaps it was the smell of blood that stimulated these vines, and they rushed towards Su Zhe all over the world, as if his blood was the sweetest delicacy.
Torch? Su Zhe found himself disoriented in the full slash, but accidentally caught a glimpse of a corpse buried under the leaves in front of him.
Judging from the fragments of the skeleton's clothes and a canvas bag on his body, he was a member of the exploration team, and even though he had been sucked into a dried corpse, he still held a torch in his hand and did not let go.
Su Zhe's eyes lit up, Wen Hansheng and the others must have lit a torch and rushed out, and the explorer estimated that the torch was waved too quickly to extinguish, and it was entangled in the vines.
He struggled to split the attacking vines, gathered away the bones and canvas bag, picked up the torch and lit it, and waved it at the vines.
The vines lit by the torches let out a "squeak" and retreated in fear, but hovered in the air unwillingly.
Sure enough, they are afraid of fire, Su Zhe is annoyed that his reaction is slow, how can plants not be afraid of fire.
He gasped for breath, and was shocked to find that his thinking had always been affected by this forest, and he couldn't even think of using star power, and he relied on brute force to fight.
"Sha Sha", there are still vines that do not give up and avoid the direction of the torch to attack him.
Hmph, Su Zhe, who had regained his clarity, was no longer afraid, and his star power formed a faint halo to wrap himself.
The vines overwhelmed Su Zhe, instantly forming a huge cocoon.
Su Zhe snorted coldly, and a brilliant red light suddenly came out, stabbing fiercely at the vine.
The vines screamed and withered rapidly, and the huge trees swayed wildly, as if pleading, in fear.
Streams of majestic breath of life quickly poured into Su Zhe's body along the blood thorns, making him feel comfortable.
The vitality that had been absorbed by Allure City quickly recovered, and a flash of surprise flashed in Su Zhe's eyes.
This is really a good thing, it can actually provide pure vitality, there are treasures here, there are absolutely good treasures.
He quickly recalled the record in "Essence of Plants and Trees", there is only one thing in the essence of plants and trees that can replenish vitality, that is, the heart of wood in the essence of the five elements, is there a heart of wood here?
This guess made Su Zhe tremble with excitement, this wood heart is a once-in-a-lifetime strange thing.
It doesn't help in any way for cultivation, and its only effect is to replenish vitality.
In other words, even if you are dying of old age, as long as you still have a breath, it can boost your metabolism.
Let the aging cells and tissues fall off quickly, and breed new cells and tissues to replace your damaged organs, so that people can rejuvenate and rejuvenate.
The only bad thing is that the heart of the wood can only be used once, but this is a life-saving anti-heaven treasure, so you have to get it anyway.
Su Zhe's eyes were green, he didn't expect that there would be such a harvest in this trip to Death Valley.
As the Devouring Skill of the Blood Thorn wielded, patches of vines died, and even the trees attached to it began to wither.
The whole forest was scared, and the vines wanted to flee, but under the devouring power of the blood thorns, there was no room for resistance.
Patches of trees died, but Su Zhe never found the heart of the wood.
He was unwilling to enlarge the map of spiritual power, regardless of the consumption of crazy outward covering.
There is no doubt that there is obviously a connection between spiritual power and vitality, and the map of spiritual power, which consumed huge amounts of spiritual power before, continues to spread outward without hindrance under the continuous replenishment of life force.
Found it, Su Zhe's eyes lit up, and a huge tree that was difficult to surround even a hundred people appeared within the coverage of his spiritual power.
The Heart of Wood only exists among the Tree Kings who have lived for more than 100,000 years, and there is no doubt that this giant tree is the Tree King.
The Tree King is psychic, even if a dog lives for 100,000 years, it can become a spirit.
The tree king clearly felt threatened, the ground was constantly cracking, and he wanted to rise from the ground and escape, but unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of years of growth had already made it intertwined, and it couldn't leave at all.
Su Zhe deeply felt silent for the intelligence of the Tree King.
