A life that yearns for a life force of life?
Hearing Gu Shu's words, Chen An's brows furrowed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I don't know why, subconsciously, he suddenly thought of the source of the superpower's power, and thought of the air mass in his chest and abdomen.
Life force.
"What the hell are you?"
The ancient tree in front of him with knotted branches, thick trunks, dozens of people to hug, and human facial features in front of him looked too strange, Chen An was curious, and couldn't help asking.
It feels too terrifying, like facing the abyss, and like facing the vast Han Sea directly, calm on the surface, but in fact, there is endless power hidden underneath, which makes people shudder in their hearts.
Chen An looked at this ancient tree, and had the feeling that ants were looking up at the mountains, his mind was blank, chaotic, and he couldn't resist at all.
This ancient tree is really too strong and terrifying, it is simply unfathomable!
The trunk of the ancient tree moved, the roots of the tree dragged, and a slow and sluggish voice said, "I, I am a tree, but I have lived long enough, so I began to wake up and learn to look at the world carefully." ā
Has a tree that has lived long enough to produce an ancient tree that resembles a person's spiritual intelligence?
Chen An was shocked in his heart, he didn't know what to say, and he was speechless for a while.
"My cognate told me of your whereabouts when you first came here and entered this forest, my descendants, the other trees of the forest." The ancient tree smiled slightly, a large piece of bark lifted up like a human eyebrow, and said:
"It's just that I'm sleeping, and although I know that you're coming, I can only receive messages, but I can't react in time, so I'm sorry that you're frightened."
Chen An frowned, as if he had thought of something, and said, "Let me be frightened?" You mean the fog spirits?"
"Fog Spirit? No, it's just the miasma that I formed when I was growing up, it's my tree miasma, and later, in the years when I was growing up, the miasma was constantly changing, and it was full of spirituality, so I used these miasma as my protection, and as soon as a life came near me, it would be attacked by my tree miasma. ā
Ancient shook the canopy, and suddenly, countless leaves rattled, with a wonderful rhythm, and said, "Carefully speaking, these tree miasma also grew with me." ā
"But, these fog spirits...... Your miasma will suck up other people, and it will make life in the vicinity disappear. Chen Anxin moved, thinking of the faces of the Shiloh people he had just seen in the mist, as well as the humanoid creature that was condensed by many mist and resembled the Shilo people, so he said, "Isn't this not good?"
The ancient tree's eyes were bright, like an old man with wisdom, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "My fellow desirants, we have never liked to fight, but this does not mean that we are willing to be bullied and bear some risks that we should not take. ā
"All the lives that are sucked by my miasma are eradicated by the miasma because they are too close to me and have some intentions against me."
Chen An was stunned for a moment, and then was silent, it was obvious that there were many strange beings who approached this ancient tree and had some intentions against it, so they died.
The Helo people are no exception, not to mention, the more they know, the more they naturally have greater ambitions for this ancient tree, as a result, they did not expect to be killed by the miasma of this ancient tree, just like many strange lifeforms.
In this way, a lot of things make sense, no wonder, this has become a forbidden area for the Helo people, and the Hilo people who came in couldn't stand the curiosity and fatal temptation in their hearts, and approached this ancient tree, and as a result, they encountered accidents one after another.
The old village chief didn't know the real situation, and he still used this task to make a deal with Chen An, but he didn't know how he would feel after learning the real situation.
"My cognate one, you just said the fog spirit? In fact, the kind of life called the fog spirit is also related to our kind of life. The ancient tree seemed to think of something, and began to explain Chen An's confusion, and said: "A life like me, if it encounters any accident or dies, its own tree miasma will float out, wander around in the air, and absorb a lot of the essence of life, such a life is called a fog spirit." ā
"That's right." Chen An nodded, he suddenly thought of something, and said, "So, is there any difference between the fog spirit and your tree miasma?"
"There are still differences." The bark of the ancient tree squirmed, moved his lips, and continued to explain Chen An's confusion, saying: "The tree miasma is based on our will and will only act according to our will, while the fog spirit has begun to produce spiritual intelligence, able to distinguish between right and wrong, know what can be touched, what cannot be touched, what should be avoided, and what should be immediately retreated. ā
Speaking of this, Gu Shu's eyes turned, glanced at Chen An, his eyes were meaningful, and said, "My tree miasma and you fought each other, and the losses were too great, so I woke up." ā
"However, if it's a fog spirit, if you find the aura on your body, you will immediately retreat."
Chen Anxin was stunned, feeling as if his whole body had been seen through, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.
Gu Shu looked at him quietly.
For a moment, the scene was a little silent.
After a while, Chen An raised his head, looked at the ancient tree, and said, "You say that we are homologous?"
"Yes, we are all beings walking on the road of life." The branches and leaves of the ancient tree swayed, and said, "Although the paths are different, they all have the same path, and they are all on the road of life force. ā
"Walking on the path of life force?" Chen An muttered, instantly thinking of the superpower, and for a while, he thought of a lot.
"Yes, life force on the way." The old tree's face was old, but its words sounded like something different: "The power of life is one of the greatest powers, and many lives are wanderers on this path." ā
"At the beginning of all worlds, in fact, it is the germination of life force, the growth of life force, and the cultivation of life, so that the world will become colorful."
The breath exuded by the ancient tree is broad and vast, but there is a kind of soft and refreshing gentleness, and he said: "Legend has it that before the endless distant years, when time and space were chaotic and unified, and when they were not separated from each other, there was an ancient tree of life, which transcended everything and was the origin of all life, from which all life germinated, and it dropped a flying leaf and sprinkled a little breath, which was the beginning of a world life. ā
The origin of all life?
"The Ancient Tree of Life?" Chen An didn't know what to say, but in his heart, he firmly remembered the name of the Ancient Tree of Life.
"When we trace our origins, we feel small and weak, so there are some lives chasing the power of life, while others are not." The bark of the ancient tree swayed, and his eyes looked at Chen An, as if he could clearly reflect Chen An's soul, and said, "Just like you, right?"
"Although I have also embarked on the path of life, but there are too many things?"
Chen An's fists clenched suddenly, and his nails pierced deep into the palms of his hands.
But there is too much to do?
For example, the Demon Heart Vine, for example, ...... Apostle!
This ancient tree, it was found?
Yes, it is not surprising that this ancient tree has lived long enough years to be said to be well-informed, and many things are naturally known.
Chen An's thoughts fluctuated in his mind, and for a while, his mood was quite complicated.
"Apostle? I remember the last time I saw you was a thousand years ago, but I didn't expect another apostle to appear, and besides, there is a devil in you, although it is still very young, but the aura it exudes scares me. ā
The ancient tree sighed, the branches and leaves swayed, and under the light of the sky, a fine shade was sprinkled, and said: "I just want to grow quietly and move forward silently on the road of life, but I didn't expect to meet such a strange you." ā
Apostle?
Chen An's eyes narrowed, he raised his head, looked directly at the ancient tree, and said, "Do you know the apostle?"
"I know, even, I once encountered that the apostle wanted to kill me and take away my thousands of years of accumulation, and then we fought a big battle, and she was injured and retreated." Gu Shu was like an ordinary old man, nodded, and said, "That apostle is terrifying. ā
"Can you tell me anything about the apostles?" Chen An's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to ask.
The ancient tree branches swayed, rejected Chen An, and said, "It's a pity, young apostle, I can't tell you, I can't, I don't even dare to tell you. ā
"The appearance of every apostle is a disaster or a gospel for this world, and the whole world will undergo very terrible changes because of it, many things will be turned upside down, many things will be rebuilt, and countless races will rise and fall, and great lives will rise and fall."
"The fall of the continent, the lament of life, the aria of death, the hope and sorrow of the race, and the bones of the blood, everything, all of it, are related to the apostles."
"There's so much involved, I know part of it, but I really can't say it, and I don't dare to say it."
Chen An hung his head slightly and was silent.
At this moment, he didn't know what to say.
"All right, young apostle, don't talk about these things." Gu Shu was very optimistic, and when he talked about another thing, he said: "Although you are also walking on the road of life, but the way is different from mine, walking on the road of smoking. ā
"So, young apostle, are you going to make a deal with me?"
"Deal?" Chen An tilted his head and looked at the ancient tree, a little puzzled.
The ancient tree's eyes were sincere and clear, and he said: "Yes, I can see that you are very eager for the power of life, I can use a leaf to trade with you, I think, one of my leaves should be able to meet your needs." ā
"So, what do you want?" Chen An's lips moved and he said.
In this world, there are no priceless transactions that come out of thin air.
"Soul."
"I want souls."
"We can meet, this is a kind of fate, so, I only need you ten standard souls." The voice of the ancient tree came slowly.
Chen An frowned and said, "Soul?"
"Yes, young apostle, know that in this world, the soul is everything, and there is nothing that the soul cannot trade." The ancient tree's body moved, the earth broke open, and several roots came out, "Young apostle, do you trade?"
Chen An's eyelids drooped slightly, and then, he nodded: "Okay, I'll trade." ā
"Good." A smile appeared on the ancient tree's face, old and kind.
Its body suddenly emitted a little green light, flickering, life and death, like countless fireflies floating in the huge canopy, and then, the little green light floated out, gathered together, condensed into palm-sized leaves, and then slowly flew towards Chen An.
Buzz.
It seemed that there were countless small vibration sounds, Chen An's chest glowed, and the fog dream mark was shiny and shiny, and the gray light was rich, constantly emitting out, and it simply became a bright aura.
One after another, transparent figures floated out from the imprint of the fog dream, their whole bodies glowing with a faint light, light, as if they had lost their weight, their expressions were dull, their expressions were dazed, and they instantly changed from the size of a palm to the size of an ordinary person, and then slowly floated towards the ancient tree.
These souls have human shapes, and they have the shape of other beings, but more often than not, they are nightmare eater souls.
"Many beings are helpless against souls, there is not much they can do, but you can easily collect such a complete soul, you really deserve to be an apostle." The ancient tree sighed, and one soul after another slowly drifted into its trunk.
"O life!"
The voice of the ancient tree was low and loud, resounding near and far, all around, resounding through everything.
In this forest, all the trees are shaking, the branches are fluttering, and the leaves are rattling.
The leaf, which glowed softly, flew into Chen An's hand.
At the moment when the leaf flew into his hand, Chen An's mind went blank and exploded with a bang.
The demon heart vine came out all of a sudden, entangled in the green leaf, like a crazy snake, Chen An's body was vibrating, whistling, blood flow accelerated, and the muscles and bones of his body were trembling.
The air mass in the chest and abdomen stopped rolling for a moment, but the next moment, it turned even more wildly, like a crazy engine that had been started, running non-stop, reaching the highest speed, and even the air flow that rolled out was extremely hot, as if it was the hot gas rolling on the edge of the stove.
Chen An's body trembled, the skin on his face was red and white, the clothes on his body were torn and tattered, he seemed to have turned into a steam engine, constantly emitting streams of white heat, and the heat wave spread out in circles, sending it around.
Finally, the green leaf shattered, turned into a little green light, disappeared, and was absorbed by Chen An.
Chen An stood in place, and after a while, he slowly recovered.
He slowly opened his eyes, which were as deep as the sea, but soft and bright, like obsidian under the starlight.
"It's over." He muttered to himself, and his voice rang out.
