"It's not for nothing." Matthew pointed to his feet, "This oversized tree is the Kirikawa Mountain Tree. ”

weighs nine pounds and raises his eyebrows slightly, which can be regarded as a thorough understanding of the president's naming routine, anyway, it looks like whatever it looks like, absolutely as the name suggests, absolutely.

"This mountain tree is in the center of this black storm in Kirikawa, and it is the key target of our investigation into the storm area this time.

According to the data provided by the research institute of the local research station, a large number of people go missing and die here every year, and countless animals are killed.

Some time before the start of the black storm, the number of missing people surged, which attracted the attention of the scientific research station, and immediately sent a message asking the military to assist in the investigation.

When I received the invitation from the military, they had already sent several teams back and forth, and all of them were wiped out without exception, and the number of missing people in the area around Kirikawa this year was more than twice as high as in previous years, and this was because there were too many floating populations and inaccurate estimates, and in fact the number of missing people would only increase. Matthew turned the grill in his hand with a serious face, brushing a layer of oil from time to time, "This is something that ordinary people don't feel, but people who often go in and out of Kirikawa should know." ”

This sounds serious.

Ge Sanding on the side also nodded, wiping a greasy mouth, "Yes, in fact, there have been frequent accidents here in Wuchuan in the past two years, and I have several business partners who can't be contacted. ”

Heavy Jiujin frowned, "The danger of Wuchuan will affect Jing Chu?" In that case, she must find a way to send her parents to the new district as soon as possible, and the new district should be safer than the old one.

"At the current expansion rate of the Black Storm, it won't have much impact on the outside of the Fog River for the time being." Matthew glanced at the nine pounds and reassured, "Don't worry too much." ”

"Hmm." Heavy nine catties nodded, but his heart was not completely relaxed, Jing Chu strange things happen frequently, the changes in the general environment are obvious to all, and only when you are prepared can you be safe, you must plan how to use the spiritual energy points harvested this time after you go back.

"But just to devour flesh, why build a labyrinth to provide a chance to escape?"

Wouldn't it be nice to swallow it directly?

Heavy nine catties subconsciously touched the 'I am super fierce' badge on his chest, and this cowardly badge is now encapsulating the real super fierce Mr. Head.

Mr. Rentou spent time in the mountain trees before the military sent out an investigation team, and perhaps he knew better.

Matthew gritted his toothpick and tilted his head, shaking his head, "That's what I can't figure out." ”

Weighing nine catties, he recalled the scene he saw in the tree hole, the strong smell of blood and the dense mutilated corpses, bones and limbs on the cave wall, and the bloodshot eyes "The missing people are all in the tree hole?" ”

"Well, nine times out of ten." Matthew sighed, took out a piece of bark from his pocket and threw it to weigh nine catties, "Everyone eat more to have the strength to get out of the storm." ”

Jiujin took the bark and looked up at Matthew, and wondered, "What is this bark?" ”

"Found in the labyrinth, do you recognize it?"

Weighing nine catties, hold the bark in your hand and flip it over, the bark can be rolled up after softening, like a woodenized human skin, and the dandruff falls when turning, and the lines of ghost-like words are densely arranged neatly.

After reading it carefully, it weighed nine pounds and was stunned for a moment.

"This is the ancient Kamidian language, which has been abandoned because of the complexity of the grammar and has developed into the Kamidian language, which is easier to understand and spread."

This string of words alone is enough to show that the bark is not young.

"Can you translate?"

Heavy Jiujin glanced at the president, the Bull Demon King held a toothpick with a loving expression, and quickly moved his gaze down to carefully check the bark again, "I know about it." ”

The bark she is holding in her hand is an AI work log and an instruction manual, and she has no intention of concealing it, and what is written on the bark weighs nine pounds and says that she can understand the part.

"This may be the AI operation log, the mountain tree is not an earth creature but an alien device, probably "weighing nine catties does not fully understand the meaning of some of the professional terms, even guessing that "it may be an energy conversion device? ”

The content of the log is very concise, "The 1230th day of drifting, a primordial planet was discovered"

"Discover water on the target planet."

"It's a fitting place to make sure that there are primitive humans on the target planet."

"Start Environmental Protection Sleep Mode"

The log is not written by a human, but the work log of the AI.

Through the content of the work log and the time of recording, it is not difficult to find that the 'mountain tree' is not an alien device that fell during the global starburst, but appeared in the early days of human civilization on Earth.

The 'Mountain Tree', which was supposed to remain dormant until it was recovered by the fleet, waited for a global starburst on Earth before it was recovered, and the Earth's ecological environment changed drastically, and the Mountain Tree became the terrible it is today.

weighed nine pounds and was dumbfounded, and carefully checked it several times,

"There's no mention of why it's drifting in space, and this energy converter converts life energy into storable energy."

Many of the words mentioned in the instructions weigh nine pounds, which has never been seen, and can only be boldly inferred in combination with the context before and after and the hints of the dead guide.

One thing is certain, the 'Mountain Tree' is not an earth creature, it comes from another civilization in the vast galaxy that does not know where it is, long before the earth was connected with the universe, when the earth was still a primitive baby that did not give birth to a prosperous life.

This is the first time that the weight of nine catties has faced the smallness and backwardness of the earth, and even a tree can travel around the world, and the humans on the earth may not have learned to walk upright.

This gap is not filled by several galaxies.

Ge Sanding and the others stared curiously at Jiujin and Matthew, but the two of them entered private chat mode at the moment, and he couldn't hear what they were saying even if he pointed his ears, so he continued to gnaw on the meat.

"Under normal circumstances, every time the energy conversion of the activated mountain tree is completed, the huge energy will be withdrawn in time, but the mountain tree has no supply transmission object, and the energy is fed back to the mountain tree itself.

Excess energy combined with changes in the environment so mutated? There is no movement now because it is digesting the energy absorbed this time to supply the needs of growth. ”

The discovery is not encouraging.

"The work log says that this guy has violated the environmental protection mode, and the automatic destruction system that should have been activated has failed due to the impact of the global starburst, and if humans discover its existence, what needs to be done is to immediately find the AI core and shut down the operation of the mountain tree"

Close it, it sounds so simple.

"Where's the switch?"

This tree is already alive, survival is a biological instinct, it is impossible for it to be willing to close automatically, it is like you run to the wild to persuade a tiger to commit suicide, because its existence poses a mortal threat to the surrounding humans.

It doesn't bite you on the spot, that's all gentle by nature.

Matthew thought about it for a while, "So it seems that we need to find the AI core now and close it through the core." "The conversation did not affect the barbecue process in the slightest.

"The mountain tree will always devour all life around it, and the reason why we can come out is because the AI is still there, and it is likely to be affected by the Universal Peace Treaty or some other reason to leave a clue."

But who knows where this AI core is, and what to do now?

"Death guide, do you know how to turn it off?"

"Can't be turned off." The answer was Mr. Head, who weighed nine pounds, and his head peeked out of the badge a little bit.

"Do you know what this is?"

"I'm a steward."

Heavy nine pounds now understand why the other party has less words, it is likely that it is because there are not many earth dialects, and now they are mixed with alien languages and earth languages.

"You say slow down, I'm not good hearing."

"The logs are half true and half fake."

This time, Mr. Tou said that there is a big difference from the content of the log recorded by AI.

"AI is the mountain tree, and when the switch is turned on, the mountain tree can be completely unrestricted to turn on the maximum power mode, and the maximum authorization to AI will be released from the restriction from now on, and I am the last supervisor to live."

But he still died.

Weighing nine catties, he quickly calculated in his heart, and was a little confused, and he wanted to ask the other party when he died.

Mr. Tou explained empathetically, "The hibernation chamber opened unexpectedly, and the Overseer was the first energy to be absorbed. ”

Who to believe?

What should I do?

"Kill the mountain trees." Mr. Rentou is ruthless and doesn't talk much.

The roots of this tree are deep in the ground, almost all over this swamp, and how to kill it is too difficult to cut down the tree, I am afraid that I will need to use bombs.

After listening to it, do you believe in the bark log left by the AI or believe in Mr. Head?

The hesitation of weighing nine catties did not last long, she glanced at the task prompt that had just popped up, and had already made a decision in her heart, and when she stood up, she muttered in her heart, "This is only a one-star mission?" ”

Seeing that he weighed nine pounds and suddenly stood up, Matthew asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

The others also looked at the weight of nine catties at the same time, and Ge Sanding was the most nervous, "Is it dangerous?" ”

Weighing nine pounds did not answer anyone's questions, and frankly she did not think how to explain it, and according to Mr. Rentou's instructions, she walked to the most leafy position on the edge of the top of the tree, and sure enough, she found a branch of the darkest color.

"Go in peace."

Weighing nine catties and stretching out her right hand, she took over the necromancer, the living soul, and the AI? It was the first amazing experience.

The 'mountain tree', which was digesting food, suddenly shook violently.

Heavy nine catties tightly grasped the lump, and his consciousness wrapped the lump of the tree, and the finger bones of the Grim Reaper were inserted into the cracks in the trunk.

The shaking lasted for a while.

The "psionic points +10" message prompt quickly floated through his mind, and it was not until this time that he weighed nine catties and felt that the tense nerves were soothed.

The soul points of such a powerful soul are only 10, and they weigh nine catties to admire the warriors who can kill all sides for the spiritual energy points, so they don't feel that the rewards are unequal?

It turns out that Mr. Head's so-called killing of mountain trees is only killing AI instead of actually cutting down trees, so it's no wonder that the psionic points are only increased by 10 points.

Without the control of AI, the mountain tree has no independent will, and its absorption and transformation ability is halved, and it is just an ordinary mutated alien tree.

It's not that it won't continue to absorb transformation energy from now on, it's just that it lacks deliberate guidance, and the number won't be so exaggerated, as long as there are no unlucky people who continue to come here, it won't take the initiative to try its best to lure its prey.

In fact, this effect is not completely unexpected by the weight of nine catties.

Through the words of the death guide, the weight of the nine catties has a superficial understanding of the function of the trainee god of death, and the most important thing is not to save lives or slaughter living beings but to maintain balance.

And the mountain tree controlled by the perverted AI is obviously not conducive to balance, so the AI becomes the mission target.

"The bark says that this is the switch," there is no need to tell others the details, the weight of nine catties has been deleted, and he turned his head to explain to the puzzled and confused everyone, "After this and that, although the AI core of the mountain tree has been closed, the tree itself is still dangerous, but the danger will not continue to expand outward in a short time." ”

The danger level of the tree has been reduced.

Everyone was still confused, "What about the ore, there are a lot of ores in the tree hole, maybe it is very valuable." Ge Sanding reacted the fastest, "Won't it be gone?" Fortunately, I took a few, which should be able to exchange a lot of money, otherwise Lao Tzu's trip would have been in vain. ”

Matthew didn't bother with Ge Sanding, but sent a message to the heavy nine catties, "There is a large amount of 'encoded XBH013 ore' containing extremely strong energy in the tree hole."

Weighing nine pounds, I was ready to hear the name 'phosphorescent stone', but I didn't expect the other party to say that

"This is the thirteenth new type of ore discovered on Earth since the global starburst, and this ore has extremely high energy development value." The president said and handed over a bag weighing nine pounds.

"What?" Weighing nine pounds, I opened the pocket and looked at it, and immediately tightened the mouth of the bag, all of which were thumb-sized XBH13, heavy.

As soon as I said that it has extremely high energy development value, I immediately handed over such a big bag, weighing nine pounds and frowning suspiciously, is this a test of human nature?

"We've worked so hard to see it all on this trip, can we still go back empty-handed?"

The president is right, and he thinks it makes sense to weigh nine pounds.

Cuckoo~~

Twitter~~

Coo~~

The marshes become quieter after the sun sets, and the symphony of insects is more like a lullaby.

Weighing nine catties, lying on his side, his eyes were just on the injured Lu Tao who was placed on a stretcher on the other side, the demonized warrior's eyes were closed, half of his body was wrapped in bandages, and his hands and legs were tied to the bandage buckle and firmly fixed.

"Will Dr. Arya be able to heal him?"

"It's just slowing down the speed of demonic expansion, and the energy erosion continues."

"Hmm." Hearing what the death guide said, he weighed nine pounds and nodded, "How long can you hold on?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Tao, who had not slept peacefully, began to struggle out of his limbs, tossing out a grinding sound, his closed eyes opened suddenly, and his red eyes were exactly nine catties in weight.

Tyrannical emotions, bulging muscles in the limbs, bulging muscles and veins, wide blood-colored eyes, and a ferocious state that wants to eat people.

weighed nine pounds, and even prepared for the other party to pounce, and practiced in her mind how to respond, how to catch her hands, and how to move her legs, but whenever Lu Tao had the slightest movement, she could react immediately.

And yet—

"Ahh

Lu Tao seemed to be greatly frightened, and screamed, and his body that was originally leaning forward suddenly shrank back, screaming in horror.
