Chapter 65: The Calm Before the Storm
This is the ability to absorb plant life, and it is also the ability that Chen Lin gradually mastered after completely absorbing the heart of the world, this ability is very strong, directly absorbing the life of others and nourishing itself, not only can replenish the physical energy and spirit consumed by himself, but also can even upgrade the heart of the world.
But this ability has a fatal flaw, of course, this is also because Chen Lin's current ability is not strong enough, and the level is not high enough, and now Chen Lin can only exert the maximum ability of life absorption within a limited range.
Just like he tested the other day, the maximum range that his natural energy can act on is five meters, that is, his life absorption ability, the maximum range of action should also be this range.
Five meters, this is not a big range, and with Chen Lin's current ability, the absorption speed is very slow.
It is even more impossible for the natives to stand there and remain indifferent, allowing him to slowly absorb the life force without resisting in the slightest.
Therefore, Chen Lin had to create a proper environment, and this was the plan he had thought of since absorbing the heart of the world, taking advantage of many peculiarities of this world.
For example, the natives don't go out at night, for example, the natives are used to sleeping on the floor, and for example, the materials of this world are easy to become fragile when exposed to water, etc.
It's a plan that only works on the plane.
After several days of hard work, Chen Lin could finally start harvesting this evening.
In the pitch-black room, because he was worried that Chen Huan next door would find something abnormal, Chen Lin didn't dare to light up the lamp mine, and in the green man mode, he didn't dare to bloom the green light to the maximum.
It's just a palm wrapped in a faint green light, quietly touching the two holes on the floor that have long been chiseled, two branches emerge from them, and a subtle energy that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye is constantly flowing down the branches, along the rhizomes in the ground, and constantly transmitting to Chen Lin's body.
Because the maximum range of his ability to absorb is five meters, he doesn't need to let the branches and leaves break through the ground, he just needs to let them take root and sprout in the ground, continue to grow strongly, and become luxuriant.
He wants to build a great tree that exists only in the ground, and then every branch will spread to every corner of the city, to the ground of every house.
In the dead of night, when the natives lay on the bedding on the floor to sleep, without their knowledge, their vitality would slowly pass through the floor, draw on the paper strips underground, and then pass through the rhizomes, and finally pass into Chen Lin's body!
Although there is no way to completely remove the branches from the body of the native, even if it is separated by a thin floor, this absorption efficiency will be lost a lot, and Chen Lin will also control the speed of each absorption as much as possible, because with the last battle as a reference, he also has a rough experience of this speed.
He wanted to keep the absorption speed to a point that was almost imperceptible, and it would only make the natives feel a little tired, but their appearance and spirit would not change much.
In this way, he can absorb less life force from each native.
However, this can be safer and more reliable, Chen Lin relies on quantity and time, relying on the huge indigenous group of the entire city, and a longer period of time, which can be used to accumulate a lot.
This is the largest city in this plane, and the indigenous population is also the largest, speaking of which, the original female natives who committed suicide deliberately led him to the largest city, wanting to use the tall city walls and intensive patrols to catch Chen Lin, but he didn't expect that now it has the opposite effect.
After all, if it is too obvious, as long as the natives feel an obvious abnormality, even if it is difficult to find themselves through natural energy, they will definitely investigate thoroughly, and it is easy to find the big trees underground.
As for the consequences of this, what will happen to the natives?
Chen Lin didn't want to think about this problem, and forced himself not to think about such a result for the time being.
He didn't have the time or the energy to worry about it.
Crossing is an invasion, he knows very well that for this plane, he and Chen Huan are both invaders, just like when he met the natives for the first time, the other party didn't even give him a chance to speak, and meeting was a battle.
If he hadn't had a chance to be resurrected, he would have been a corpse a long time ago.
Chen Lin knew very well in the bottom of his heart that no matter how slow the absorption speed was, no matter how little he absorbed each time, the vitality absorbed by these natives would be irreparable, and the final result would be nothing more than being absorbed to death, or perishing with this world.
Chen Lin sometimes felt a sense of intolerance rise in his heart, but it was quickly replaced by a stronger sense of urgency, and he had no time to worry about others, about a life that did not belong to his own race at all.
In the past few days, Chen Lin has been in green man mode for at least half a day every day, constantly instilling natural energy into the big tree that is taking shape underground, because this tree can't soak in the sun and absorb nutrients like a normal tree, and the only source of its growth is Chen Lin's natural energy.
While nourishing the trees, Chen Lin also gradually felt and felt the energy that was surging wildly in this world.
This is an energy that he may not understand, after all, even in the green man mode, Chen Lin is only most familiar with natural energy, and he can't feel other types other than natural energy.
But maybe it's because any energy has a certain connection, or maybe it's the green man mode that makes Chen Lin himself more sensitive, in short, he does feel that from the deepest part of the earth in this world, there is a mysterious energy that is surging out wildly, and it is beginning to spread in every corner of this world.
Although Chen Lin already distrusted Chen Huan very much, it seemed that Chen Huan did not deceive him on this information.
The Heart of the World was indeed out of control, and this energy was so huge that even Chen Lin felt an obvious danger.
If this energy is allowed to spread, whether it is for the natives of the original plane to continue to evolve, or just to spread throughout this world, it is like a time bomb, it seems to be calm before it is detonated, but the moment it is detonated, it is likely to be the collapse of the sky and the destruction of the world.
However, this has nothing to do with Chen Lin, although facing a world that is about to be destroyed again, facing the heart of the world that is likely to be in hand again, Chen Lin did not think too much.
This time is different from the last time, he needs to guard against not only the natives, but also Chen Huan, who is also a traverser.
Therefore, Chen Lin must take advantage of this last calm time before the time bomb is detonated to absorb as much vitality as possible to continuously improve his strength.
