Opening his eyes, Chen Lin got up from the bed in the hotel, and habitually looked at the time first, it was only more than an hour since he last shuttled.

The time of this crossing was the shortest, Chen Lin smiled slightly bitterly, he was clearly prepared to stay there for a long time, but he couldn't imagine that he would come back so soon.

However, this crossing is also his biggest gain.

The strange feeling that had been circling in his heart for a long time was finally cleared up in the last moment.

But Chen Lin is still not completely sure, after all, he is just a rookie traverser, maybe he was mistaken, maybe his judgment was wrong?

So Chen Lin picked up his phone again and opened QQ and entered the chat group.

Wind Forest Volcano: I would like to ask you a question, what do you think about the form of life?

Oh Tired Wow Gang Ogi: [sweating.jpg] You've been studying philosophy lately? We are time-travelers, not philosophers, how can we understand this.

I'm Long Aotian: I think he's just in the water, and the form of life is not the meaning of life.

Wind Forest Volcano: Well, I'm not a group of water, I'm very serious about asking the big guys, let me ask in another way, have you ever encountered a life form that transcends common sense in the other world?

Oh tired wow gang big wood: For example?

Wind Forest Volcano: For example, plants, flowers, grasses, trees, and trees around us may also be life.

I'm Long Aotian: Hahaha, I thought what you wanted to say, plants are indeed life, haven't they been proven by experiments a long time ago, even if they are plants on our earth, they also meet many elements of life.

Dandan's sorrow: Long Aotian shut up first, @风林火山, in fact, you can directly Baidu this question, do plants count as life, I remember that there are a lot of them on Baidu Encyclopedia, but this is a biological thing, there should be no experts in the field of biology in our group.

Chen Lin couldn't laugh or cry, of course he had already passed Baidu, judging whether an item is inanimate or not, according to whether the item is alive or not, and plants have metabolism, growth and development, as well as stress, as well as heredity and variation, so it can be determined that plants have life.

But this is obviously not just the answer Chen Lin wants now.

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and continued to type in the group: No, I don't mean life in the definition of biology, but life forms with self-consciousness and even high intelligence, have you ever encountered such a plant?

The group fell silent again.

After a long time, Dandan's sadness first broke the silence: how should you answer this question, if it is said that it is a life form with plants as a medium, there are naturally some of them, for example, there are tree people in some worlds, but strictly speaking, they are not pure plants.

I'm Long Aotian: I've met the tree man, and that's what you want to say?

Wind Forest Volcano: Well, no, they're not the kind of people who can walk and talk, they're no different from the flowers and trees around us, but they're self-aware.

Oh tired wow gang Oki: You're talking too mysterious, I haven't encountered it anyway.

Dandan's sorrow: I don't quite understand, what exactly happened to you?

Wind Forest Volcano: Okay, let's let our imagination fly first, if there is such a plant, they usually exist as trees, they don't move or speak, they live in groups like forests, but they probably have a higher intelligence like us humans, they know how to think, they know how to attack intruders who break into them, and they even know how to raise them.

The sorrow of the balls: feeding?

Wind Forest Volcano: That's right, it's similar to how we raise chickens, ducks, cows and sheep, but these plants are raising other species, such as advanced intelligent life like us.

Oh tired wow gang big wood: ......

I'm Long Aotian: ......

Dandan's sorrow: You're too ......

The chat group was quiet again, everyone didn't speak, Chen Lin smiled bitterly in his heart, could it be that his judgment was wrong, but it was impossible, that feeling, he believed that there was no feeling wrong.

Liu Gongzi in retreat: Yes.

Oh tired wow gang big wood: Meet the seniors!

I'm Long Aotian: Meet the seniors!

Dandan's sorrow: Meet the seniors!

……

It was another swiping screen to meet the seniors, but Liu Gongzi directly interrupted everyone, and it seemed that he was also quite concerned about what Chen Lin said.

Liu Gongzi in retreat: Everyone be quiet first, @风林火山, this plant you are talking about does exist, this is an extremely high life form, your current level is too low, so you may have little contact, and when you reach my level, you will find that in tens of millions of space-time planes, the forms of life are actually endless.

I've seen life forms that are only like pieces of paper, and I've also encountered advanced intelligent beings the size of bacteria, which can't even be directly observed with the naked eye, and finally I sensed their existence through energy fluctuations.

Wind Forest Volcano: [Surprise .jpg] Has Liu Gongzi also encountered this plant?

Liu Gongzi in retreat: I haven't encountered it, but I've heard from other people that it's a plant with extremely high intelligence, and it's preliminarily judged to have at least three-star or maybe even four-star strength.

Wind Forest Volcano: [Cold Sweat .jpg] Don't scare me, big guy.

Liu Gongzi in retreat: But it's very strange, why do you ask this kind of question, the plane where the body of this plant is located should be three-star, and you can't encounter it, according to your description yesterday, the plane you are in, let alone three-star, even two-star can't reach it.

Wind Forest Volcano: If, I mean, what if I do encounter it, what do I do?

After a long silence.

Liu Gongzi in retreat: If you take the initiative to cross, you should never cross again, just retire from the group to keep safe. If you are passively crossing, you can buy yourself a high amount of commercial accident insurance first, at least so that your family can rely on it for the rest of your life.

Wind Forest Volcano: ......

Dandan's Sadness: @风林火山, you're a little weird today, what the hell happened? Are you hiding something from us?

Wind Forest Volcano: No, it's nothing, I'll go offline first, goodbye seniors.

Chen Lin didn't want to watch the content of the chat in the back, what Liu Gongzi meant by this was that there was basically no cure, and even he, who was known as the predecessor of the big guy, said so, so it probably really could be no choice.

Of course, maybe for a higher-level traverser, such as a four-star or even a five-star, there may be a way to deal with it, but Chen Lin is only a mere one-star traverser, he hasn't even mastered the simplest strength, and he can't do anything if he wants to fight hard, can he rely on his own punches and kicks?

Chen Lin took a few deep breaths and tried to sort out his thoughts that had been a little chaotic since he woke up.

There is actually a big difference between dying in the other world this time and dying so many days before, that is, Chen Lin died suddenly in a state where his brain was completely awake.

The previous times, he either died in sleep, or died slowly in extreme weakness caused by cold and hunger, and the common point was that in the period before death, his consciousness was already in a very vague state.

So although Chen Lin had a strange feeling hidden early on, he couldn't grasp it, not because of his bad memory, but because of the vague consciousness at the time of death, which confused his judgment.

In fact, from the first time he traveled to that time and space, all his deaths were not due to hunger, cold, or lack of oxygen, of course, these were indeed the factors that caused him to become weak quickly, but they were by no means the real cause of death.

There is only one reason for all his deaths, and that is that he was given alive by something, and his life was completely drained!

Chen Lin understood that it was his inherent common sense on the earth that made him fall into a misunderstanding, coupled with his gradually worsening cold, so that every time he really died, he would faint temporarily, even if it was yesterday, it was after he was completely asleep, so in fact, Chen Lin actually did not witness his death before this.

So every time he returned to Earth, he subconsciously thought that he had died of common causes, such as hunger, cold, or lack of oxygen.

Until this time he went to the other world, because Princess Huahua's petals freed him from the problem of lack of oxygen, and the jade bamboo and water sources provided by the green people, including the house, let him get rid of the predicament of hunger and cold, so this was the first time that he quickly entered death in a state of absolute consciousness.

So this time, Chen Lin felt it.

No, I should say I saw it with my own eyes!

Chen Lin sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and tried to recall every detail of that time.

Outside the village, in the last moments of his fall, he opened his eyes wide with all his strength, and then he saw, saw the tufts of whisker-like rhizomes break through the brown dirt, wrapping around him like a spider's web, sucking hungrily, and then, Chen Lin felt his life quickly peel away, completely unconscious.

These roots are so dense and small that each one is only the size of a silk thread, and it is easy to ignore the past if you don't look closely.

Chen Lin is very familiar with these roots, he has spent more than ten days hiking through the forest, and the roots of those towering trees exposed outside the soil are exactly this fine type, no difference!

Most of the questions that plagued Chen Lin were also solved.

Putting aside all the impossibilities, what is left, no matter how unbelievable, must be the most correct answer.

So the answer is that what really caused one's death from beginning to end was only the owner of these roots, those towering giant trees, and the luxuriant primeval jungle!
