Chapter 19: Urgency
When the mysterious thing on the trunk of the golden tree was ripped out by Chen Chong with a knife, time seemed to stop for a moment, and visible to the naked eye, the golden brilliance on the big tree suddenly dimmed, as if some kind of spirituality was rapidly disappearing.
Rumble!
In the next second, as if it had lost something crucial, the torso of the golden tree trembled violently, and countless fallen leaves fell like a dying beast, and its remaining dozens of thick roots suddenly whipped aimlessly in the air!
For a while, there was a roar, the shadows of the whip were heavy everywhere, the earth collapsed, and a large amount of soil and bones were lifted by the roots of the crazy whipping, like a group of demons dancing wildly!
"It's going berserk!"
At this moment, he didn't have time to comprehend what kind of changes had occurred in the main god light ball in his mind, Chen Chong's heart rose with incomparable vigilance, and he immediately kicked under his feet, avoiding the frantically whipped root tentacles, and hurriedly rushed towards the outside of the bone pool.
Such a strange tree is not something that he can completely solve now, and since the thing that attracted the main god's light ball has been successful, it is naturally time to run away.
To Chen Chong's surprise, from the moment he retreated, it was as if this golden tree was 'blind', turning a blind eye to him, the initiator, and the roots had no purpose, just instinctively beating wildly.
Avoiding the frantic tentacles in front of him, Chen Chong was like an agile cheetah, and in a matter of seconds, he broke away from the surrounding tree like a group of demons dancing wildly, and retreated to the edge of the bone pool.
Chen Chong groaned for a moment, did not leave immediately, but stayed at a safe distance, squinting his eyes and looking at the golden tree dozens of meters away.
At this moment, the entire golden tree has gradually become dim, and the divine and spiritual golden brilliance that gave people before has quickly receded, and Chen Chong, who was aware of this change, suddenly moved in his heart:
"Could it be that it was just because I took away that strange thing just now that it has degraded in some way?"
If the previous golden tree gave Chen Chong the feeling of being a top-level predator with a little wisdom, then after the unknown one-eyed was seized by Chen Chong, this big tree seemed to have lost most of its wisdom and spirituality.
As if to confirm the speculation in Chen Chong's heart, the frenzied trembling of the golden tree began to stop, and the tentacles that were frantically whipping the roots in the air gradually stopped moving, and then fell to the ground one after another, as if they had become ordinary plants.
Everything was calm, the golden trees were motionless, the mist from the petals of the canopy had thinned a little, and the cracked ground and scattered bones of the forest were proof that a thrilling battle had taken place here just now.
"It seems that the reason why this tree is so weird is that one eye nine times out of ten. ”
The crisis seemed to have been resolved, and Chen Chong slowly breathed a sigh of relief:
"What the hell is that?"
Taking a deep look at the golden giant tree, Chen Chong concentrated on perceiving the main god light ball in his mind, but found that no matter how he called and mobilized, the main god light ball seemed to be in a deep sleep without any reaction. However, Chen Chong was also keenly aware that the main god light ball in the spiritual world had been vibrating at a high frequency, and it seemed that there were some unknown changes going on inside.
Chen Chong thought about it, he didn't leave here immediately, his physical exertion was too great, and the current misty area was much safer than the outside world, so he immediately found a rock not far away and sat on it to rest.
"According to the time calculation, Direth will not be back at the base until four or five hours later, so there is plenty of time away from the base. ”
"When it is completely safe, we must try our best to figure out what is going on with the so-called awakened and transcendent beings, as well as the meaning of the terms of life field energy level and gene lock and the method of improvement!"
"Strength, only with strength, can you have a greater chance of survival!"
Staring at the golden tree not far away, Chen Chong suddenly had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
This strange world is too dangerous, whether it is Catherine, Johnson and others in the base, or the golden tree he encounters now, it all tells him that ordinary people who have no strength are like fragile lambs, who can only be slaughtered sadly, and life and death are not up to him.
Chen Chong's idea is very simple, to live in this world, and to live well. However, he knew that in this collapsed world, only a strong enough force could support his idea, and finding a way to figure out the source of the Awakened's power and how to improve it was the first thing he had to do.
Catherine died in his hands, and Dureth, the so-called transcendent, would definitely not give up, thinking of the other party's superhuman-like terrifying strength, Chen Chong's heart was extremely urgent.
"Hiss......"
There were still not light injuries on his body, coupled with the fierce battle with a high degree of mental concentration before, as soon as he relaxed his spirit, a strong feeling of tiredness hit Chen Chong's whole body, and a strong pain in his arms and ribs made him grin.
Although taking Super Divine Water has reached the theoretical limit of ordinary humans, Chen Chong is not a superman after all, and a series of events still make his physical strength close to the limit. Not only was it tired and painful, but after a series of high-intensity battles, there was also a faint feeling of hunger in the stomach.
Something is going bad.
Chen Chong clearly felt the bad state of his body, and the alarm bell sounded in his heart.
In the wilderness, food and water are the top priorities. In this murderous and dangerous situation, if he does not find food to replenish as soon as he still has the strength, his whole person will become weaker and weaker, and then when he encounters danger, he will be slaughtered without resistance, becoming a delicious meal in the mouths of other creatures.
This misty area is obviously a forbidden area for life, a hunting ground for the exclusive use of the golden tree, there are no other living creatures at all except Chen Chong himself, not even other kinds of plants, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking to find food here, and he can only wait for his strength to recover before leaving here.
"Wait......"
Chen Chong seemed to suddenly think of something, he suddenly jumped off the rock, and then held a tactical knife, cautiously approaching the direction of the golden tree.
There was no movement along the way, Chen Chong leaned down and picked up a few large tree roots from the ground that he had cut earlier, and then quickly returned to the rocks.
Then staring at the few thick roots picked up in his hand, Chen Chong frowned and sniffed, and a thought couldn't help but rise in his heart:
"This thing...... Seems to be edible?"
The roots in his hands were as thick as a child's arm, the texture was like a vine, but it looked like a yam, and there was pale red juice flowing where it was cut off by the blade, exuding a faint plant fragrance.
