Under the soles of the feet, the roots that had spread several meters in the desert had increased in vain, and they grew even faster.

Whew......

On the shoulder, the only six leaves have nearly doubled in the moonlight at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Besides.

Ye Shen felt that the comprehensive quality of his body had also been significantly improved at this moment, at least more than twice as strong as just now.

"Is this the effect of devouring? It's completely different from the previous times, and the changes are too obvious. ”

In the body, those silver-white energy lines are still flowing rapidly.

on the desert.

The bodies of Chang Wei and Zhang Sheng have completely disappeared, and on the ground, only the clothes they wore remained......

But even those clothes, the desert ants that remained here did not intend to let go, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed forward, and when they were extremely hungry, those clothes made of wool also became food.

For those desert ants, Ye Shen didn't care.

After devouring.

He focused all his attention on the changes in his body.

In particular, the roots under the feet grow too fast.

Three meters.

Four meters!

Five-meter ......

Two human corpses.

Directly let those roots, like a huge spider web, cover a radius of ten meters.

"It felt like those tendrils, as soon as they were connected to my body, and immediately I was able to completely control them, as if they were part of my body."

When the roots spread to ten meters, the speed slowed down a bit.

"Not only can I control it, but I can also make the roots grow directly out of the desert, at least a tree as tall as me...... However, not at the moment. ”

Under the moonlight, Ye Shen continued to analyze in his heart.

If he hadn't encountered this expedition, perhaps after the roots had grown to a certain extent, he would have chosen to directly let the forest appear in the desert, but now the situation is completely different.

"According to them, from time to time there will be satellites flying over it, and it is very likely that there will be rescue teams and other expeditions, once there are really woods, forests or something here, it is equivalent to directly exposing yourself, which is definitely not a good thing."

Thinking of this, Ye Shen was slightly distressed.

Soon, though, he noticed again.

"The first task given by the system is to feed all the desert ants...... When the time comes, once the seeds are delivered, let them develop their roots first, and at night, let them grow out of the desert, and when the sky is about to dawn, let the desert ants eat what is exposed. ”

Ye Shen's mind was spinning very fast.

For some details of the next development, a comprehensive refinement has been carried out again.

After all, Ye Shen is very clear about his current situation, and in the eyes of human beings, he is an outlier...... If you don't have enough strength and exposure, the only possibility is to be studied.

……

Twenty minutes later, surrounded by a large number of desert ants, Li Na, who went to get the map of the ruins, returned honestly, and at this moment, she had an extra parchment roll in her hand.

This parchment roll looks very new.

Apparently industrially manufactured.

"Ground, I've got the map."

By the moonlight, Li Na found that the bodies of Chang Wei and Zhang Sheng had disappeared, and there was no trace on the ground.

"Show me."

Ye Shen said lightly.

The voice fell.

He stretched out a hand, and in that hand, the vines were extremely flexible, and after devouring the two humans just now, Ye Shen's physical fitness had improved a lot, and when Li Na didn't react at all, he took away the sheepskin roll in an instant.

Followed by.

The leaf god opened the parchment roll.

I looked at it directly with the naked eye.

"I can't read this map at all...... Is the red dot the location of the ruins? But this desert is too big, looking at it, even if it can be seen under the spiritual power realm, it is still all yellow sand, and how difficult is it to find the location of the map? ”

After taking a look, Ye Shen said sullenly in his heart.

The map is not very large.

When fully unfolded, it is less than a meter long.

On the map, there are a lot of lines, rivers, hills, forests...... No matter where you look at it, it doesn't match the environment in this desert, if it weren't for the spiritual power realm, if it wasn't for the fact that Li Na wasn't lying, Ye Shen would definitely not believe this kind of monument map.

"Ding......

However, just as Ye Shen was about to abandon the map.

The voice of the system suddenly rang in his head.

"Ding...... Congratulations to the host, I got a map of the ruins, I have automatically memorized the information on the map, now start the side quest, find the ancient ruins and open it! Complete the quest and directly cross 2 levels to get skill rewards. ”

Well?

Originally, Ye Shen didn't take it seriously.

system after this sound appears.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"And side quests? Upgrade 2 levels in a row? Is this map of monuments real? Ye Shen's breathing became rapid.

System: "The Sahara Desert, the largest desert in the world, holds countless secrets...... The existence of ruins is naturally very normal, and this map is naturally true. ”

"Awesome!" Ye Shen nodded, and at the same time, the map appeared directly in his mind in a 3D form, as shown on the surface of the map, mountains, rivers, forests, all of them, no matter how you look at it, they are like life areas, and they can't match this desert at all, Ye Shen is very puzzled: "This is the desert, what is the forest on this map, the river?" ”

The system replied quickly: "I'm sorry host, this secret needs to be solved by the host itself." ”

"Okay!"

Ye Shen frowned slightly.

This moment.

He always felt that there were terrible secrets hidden in this desert.

But what exactly.

He didn't understand it at all.

……

While Ye Shen was thinking about the map ruins, Li Na, who was standing in front of him, had been under unprecedented pressure.

"Well, that, you've got the map, and I'm not lying...... This map was given to me by the state, it is absolutely true, now, you can let me go now, right? ”

Call!

When I saw Ye Shen put down the map.

Li Na took a deep breath in her mouth, her face was still pale, and her voice was still trembling very much when she spoke.

"I'm sorry, if you don't have anything to do with the country, I might still be able to think about it, but I don't have a chance now."

Ye Shen's eyes narrowed.

The killing intent on his body surged wildly, and he knew very well that once this woman was let go, then, as long as she had a chance to leave this desert alive, it wouldn't be long before Huaxia Kingdom would send a large number of people over.

Ye Shen didn't want to gamble with his life.

The moment the voice fell, the vines in Ye Shen's hand rushed straight in the direction of Li Na.
