Chapter 30: Tree Rings
In such a dense high-intensity collision, the giant fist formed by the translucent cyan vines was not without wear, and the epidermal debris continued to fall to the ground.
But Vito's body seemed to contain endless vitality, and the blue light inside the vine flowed, so it grew up again, and continued to smash into the iron wall with ****-like momentum.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The iron wall finally appeared to be chiseled through a wide area, and the surface of the wall behind it, stone powder fell, and violent tremors and fluctuations, even penetrating the ceiling, affecting the fortress on the ground.
……
In a dormitory with eight people.
The smell of feet and sweat spread between the beds, and the exploding head soldier named Taizo, who had been forced out of his hair by Seti during the day, was lying on the top bunk of the bunk iron bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He touched the top of his head, which was about the same as the bald man, and was in a state of grief when he suddenly felt a violent shaking of the whole bed, almost lifting him off the edge of the bed.
"Sam of the dog day!"
He poked his head out in annoyance and cursed to the bottom, "Usually you secretly toss in the middle of the night, and I endure shaking Lao Tzu up a few times, I'm sick today, the movement is so big, how many fucking days have you been holding back?" ”
"It's not me this time."
The naval soldier below hurriedly raised his hands from the bed, cocked his right thumb, and pointed to the ground next to him, "Okay...... It was as if the ground was shaking. ”
Tezzo felt it carefully, and the tremor was indeed coming from the ground, but before he could get out of bed for fear of an earthquake, he regained his composure.
"Shit!" He scolded again and lay back, "It's definitely the Luke family's shit, the tungsten carbon is finished, and it's blasting underneath, and it has to come once or twice a year, endlessly!" ”
The naval soldiers below didn't say a word, just silently turned off the lamp at the head of the bed, and quietly withdrew their hands into the bed.
……
Underground.
Realizing that the power was too great and might affect the base fortress above, Vito retracted the vines in time and returned to their normal form.
"Whether it is the impact or the durability, it is more than one notch stronger than my own punches, which can be regarded as the increase of fruit ability to physical strength."
Looking up at the iron wall in front of him, which was already full of holes, Vito was silent for a moment and muttered to himself, "The master duel in this world, it seems that they like to report the name of the dish before making a move, which is really a bad habit." ”
If you change to a secondary two teenager, why will you name this skill that transforms your arms and punches like the wind?
Three-headed, six-armed fist? Thousand-armed Shura? When these words flashed in his mind, Vito inevitably remembered the green algae head that seemed to be a sword hero, but was actually named a fruit ability.
"Let's wait until we develop more powerful moves later."
Vito only pretended to think for a second or two before giving up the desire to name the skill, and he was still more accustomed to beating up at the slightest disagreement, pouring all the skills in his face before the other person could react.
However, people need to follow the local customs after all, and Vito is not too reluctant to do this, but those style moves that can brush fashionable value are limited, and they are not suitable for this kind of miscellaneous skills that were explored in the early stage.
"Speaking of which."
Vito stretched out his palm again, and the familiar pale cyan translucent vine emerged from it again, "The types of plants that I can simulate and grow seem to be the only ones I have seen and touched, and have a certain understanding of their properties." ”
This translucent vine is one of the most widely used mutant plants on the earth after the cataclysm in the previous life, named Youqing, which is not only flexible and hard, but also has strong memory plasticity, and is widely used by the great forces of the Vault for biological weapons.
Vito used to have this green ingredient in his favorite weapon, and he was extremely familiar with it, so after eating the Sen Sen fruit, he subconsciously simulated this rather special vine plant.
According to the scientific system of the previous life, it belongs to the phylum Angiosperm and the class of dicots.
"Pretty lucky."
Vito pondered secretly, fortunately, he was from the apocalyptic earth, and he had several special plants in his memory from his previous life as a base, so that he could summon the plants that grew out of him, so that he would not be too weak.
Speaking of which, he has been living in the mountains since he came to this world, and the common plants are quite ordinary, and most of the species in them are not suitable for use as biological weapons in actual combat.
It is good to say that it is used to deal with miscellaneous rookies, but against the masters who are threatened, it is difficult to say what effective damage those fragile plants that are broken with a sword and are afraid of fire and fire can cause to the enemy.
After the catastrophe, the surface of the earth is overgrown with various mutated special plants, and some powerful ones have even become self-aware, becoming terrifying bosses in the forest, standing at the top of the food chain.
Vito has only been to the surface a limited number of times, and has only touched a few of them, and theoretically, he can easily simulate them for now, but he has no plans to do so for the time being.
He doesn't like the feeling of things being out of his control.
Those plants are too terrifying, unless he can confirm that he can perfectly drive these terrible monsters in terms of strength and manipulation, it will be a catastrophe for both himself and this remote island.
To be on the safe side, the few special plants that were widely used by humans in his memory were almost enough for him to use at present.
"There are also many amazing plants on this sea, and maybe we can try their practicality one by one in the future."
After trying to search through the vague impression for a moment, Vito still remembered some names that belonged to this world, and if these plants could be imitated, the future seemed to be promising.
Treasure Tree Adam? Yangshu Eve?
He thought silently, got up and went to the door, put on his coat, closed the door and went out of the ground, holding the thick book of Navy Six in his arm, and walked down the stone steps to the floor where his office was located.
Along the way, he met some naval soldiers, most of whom took the initiative to salute and make way for him because of the good impression left by the day, and Vito also smiled warmly and sunnyly.
Back in the office, after closing the door, Vito looked at his outstretched palm, thought about it, flipped it over, and spread it out in his eyes.
The lines of the palm, such as the lifeline of the career line, quietly faded away, and as Vito's mind flowed, they merged into a dark green coil around the center.
It's like the rings of a tree.
"Let's estimate it as a ring of annual rings for the time being."
Vito stared at the annual rings that were emitting a faint green light, "Everything has to be quantitatively analyzed, this dog's soul doesn't come with a system or anything, so I can only roughly define a level system by myself." ”
The annual rings have no other meaning, representing a rating of his current fruit development in Vito's mind, and the current annual rings represent his initial stage.
In the future, every time he can feel substantial progress, he will add a circle of annual rings to this palm.
Rationality and objectivity, these two things are never lacking in Vito's character,
He believes in the development potential of the fruit in his hands, and hopes that one day in the future, when he opens his palm again, what appears in front of him is the annual rings of a century-old tree, just like the monstrous power he had at that time.
