"Rely on it, rely on it!"

Luo Jin screamed in horror, and the scene in front of him deeply shocked him.

I saw that at the other end of Qianjia Village, there was a blood-colored willow tree, and the image of the willow tree was the same as in the spiritual space, but it was not so tall, about forty or fifty meters high, and the main trunk was about one meter thick.

Under the willow trees, there were corpses everywhere, countless mutant beasts and human corpses were piled up, some were still rotting, some had turned into white bones, and on the corpses, there were some blood-colored whisker-like roots absorbing the nutrients of the corpses.

It's just that now the blood willow tree has died, not only are the willow leaves slowly withering and withering, fading their blood, but even the roots are rapidly drying up and turning gray.

"That's where it all began, this willow tree has been growing here for more than 40 years, and no one knows who planted it, but it mutated after the end of the world, so it became a blood willow, and it mainly absorbs animal carcasses to grow."

Duan Yang felt the faint energy that slowly disappeared in the air and beside the willow trees.

"Normally, this willow tree will emit special energy to attract the surrounding creatures, and these energies will gather in large quantities around the willow tree, but if this energy absorbs too much, it will make the creatures fall into a deep sleep, and at this time, the whisker-like root system of the willow tree will absorb the flesh and blood of the creatures."

"I don't know why this blood willow actually produced some instinctive consciousness, and was inadvertently pulled into the spiritual space by Qian Donggui."

"Qian Donggui regards the blood willow as a sacred tree, so naturally he will not attack it, but only thinks that the god has shown a miracle and bestowed the sacred tree on him."

"So, this blood willow is not under Qian Donggui's control, but it has taken root in his spiritual space."

"The root system of the blood willow absorbed the power of Qian Donggui's spiritual space, and the instinctive consciousness gradually grew, so it became the same as before."

"If it weren't for me to kill the consciousness of the blood willow, it is estimated that one day, the consciousness of the blood willow will devour Qian Donggui's consciousness, and even give birth to his true wisdom."

"The previous blood willow actually had some animal instincts, so after feeling the danger, he decisively cut off the root system."

"Killing Qian Donggui is to return the consciousness to the body, but unfortunately I cut off the consciousness, and even the body was implicated and withered directly."

"As for those who prayed, it was actually the villagers he killed, because when these villagers died, their consciousness happened to be in the spiritual space, so after the physical death, the consciousness was completely left in the spiritual space."

"This may be a special effect of the Psychic Realm, and I'll need to work on it for a while."

……

"Click...... Click...... Click......"

"Boom ......"

Shadow San punched the trunk of the blood willow, and the trunk made a few crisp sounds, and slowly broke and collapsed, leaving only a stump about a meter high.

At this time, the blood willow had faded all its blood color and turned into gray-white dead wood, and the corpses around the willow tree were also shoveled aside.

On the section of the stump, a blood-red spar face was revealed.

"Click......"

Shadow Three grabbed the stump with both hands, and with such force that he tore the entire stump in half, revealing a blood-colored spar pillar.

"Boss, this can't be the thing that caused the willow tree to mutate into a blood willow, it's a bit like a crystal, how can this crystal get into the trunk?"

Kang Jie curiously touched the spar pillar and found that it was warm and moist, like a piece of warm jade.

"No, you see, there are wood lines on it, and there are even annual rings in the middle, this thing can't be the 10,000-year-old core in the novel, the 10,000-year-old core is a good thing, can it be used to refine magic weapons and elixirs or something?"

Luo Jin, who has been immersed in the world of novels for many years, almost stuck his eyes to the spar pillar.

"This is indeed the core of the blood willow, but this tree only has a total of 46 annual rings, where did it come from."

Duan Yang waved his hand and sent Luo Jin away.

"It's okay to refine the spirit weapon from the tree core, but as for refining the elixir, why don't I give you a piece of it now, and see if you will become an immortal."

Luo Jin quickly shook his head when he heard this, he didn't know if he would become an immortal after eating this tree core, but a mouthful of teeth would definitely be sacrificed honorably, and maybe he would drive the crane west.

However, Luo Jin's eyes rolled, thinking of those old trees in other places, although it is difficult to find them for thousands of years, there are still many for decades and hundreds of years.

There were some on the road before, and it seemed that there was no danger, and if you want to find an ax and cut down those "dangerous" trees one by one, it can be regarded as a contribution to mankind.

Duan Yang saw Luo Jin's obscene expression, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why do you think that trees have this kind of core, like those trees on the roadside, at most they are cut down for firewood, and only mutated plants will have treasures similar to tree cores."

"This mutant plant is either capable of attacking like Blood Willow, or it is guarded by powerful mutant beasts, like you, as many as you come, it is to add food to them."

Yang Yang covered his mouth and snickered, and the others also looked at Luo Jin with a strange look, even with Luo Jin's usual cheekiness, they couldn't help but blush a little.

Of course, they will never admit it, they actually had this idea before, and they must not admit it!

"Boss, there seems to be something under this stump."

Keichi probed his spiritual power into the ground, and although it was greatly hindered, he still saw that there seemed to be a one-meter-diameter foreign object in the middle of the stump.

"Really, is it some kind of treasure, it seems that there are often such plots in stories, someone buries the treasure in the ground, and then plants a tree as a marker, and as a result, the small tree becomes a big tree, and the descendants cut down the tree to search for the treasure."

Yun Chen's eyes strangely glanced at Luo Jin.

"Shadow Three, dig that thing out!"

Luo Jin rubbed his hands and said flatteringly: "Boss, this kind of thing can be so annoying to Ying San, it's better for me, the strongest professional treasure hunter, Luo Jin to do it for you." ”

"By the way, Big Big Wolf, lend me a shovel."

Ten minutes later

"Hey, hey, hey, I'll dig."

Luo Jin was sweating profusely and shoveling the soil aside, his back hurt, his hands and feet ached, but even so, he was still passionate.

"I didn't expect that I Luo Jin would have a day to dig treasures, if it is gold and silver treasures, the boss shouldn't care, maybe he will divide it directly, I will definitely be able to take more when the time comes, hahaha, I'm so witty."

Under the willow tree, the root system is the most developed, which holds the soil in place, but fortunately now the blood willow is withered, and all the essence is in the core, these roots are very fragile and can be cut off with a gentle shovel.

When Luo Jin dug half a meter deep, an object wrapped in tree roots was revealed underground, and only the top part was exposed, most of which was still buried in the soil.

"It seems that this treasure is not small, and I don't know what it is, although the antique calligraphy and paintings are not worth much now, but I don't believe that he will not bury some gold and silver jewelry!"

Luo Jin squatted down and looked through the gap between the roots of the tree, only to see that it was pitch black inside. Through the light penetrating through the gap, Luo Jin found that one eye inside the gap was staring directly at him.

Not far away, a large picnic cloth was spread out on the ground, and everyone sat around on the picnic cloth, with some fruit plates in the middle, and a lot of fruits that had been pitted, and of course the fruit cores were picked up by the gray wolf and kept for planting.

"Brother Duan Yang, ah, eat apples."

Yang Yang picked up a slice of apple and stuffed it into Duan Yang's mouth, and picked up a slice himself.

"Brother Yunchen, did you deliberately say that there might be treasure under the tree and ask Brother Fat to dig it?"

Yun Chen had some plants in front of him, and he was taking out the useful parts of the plants according to the memory in his mind, and at the same time he was familiar with identifying medicinal materials.

"Yes, who asked Luo Jin to say that my brother and I are birdmen!"

"Ah......h

A terrible scream came from not far away, Duan Yang and Ying Wei reacted first, threw away the things in their hands, and ran in the direction of Luo Jin.

"It's not good, something happened to Luo Jin."

Everyone ran in the direction of Luo Jin, and found that Luo Jin crawled out of the dirt pit with a skill that was completely inconsistent with his figure, and fled frantically in the direction of everyone.

Seeing that Luo Jin was fine, Yun Chen breathed a sigh of relief, jokes were jokes, Yun Chen didn't mean to really harm Luo Jin.

As soon as everyone wanted to ask, they saw Luo Jin running all the way and hiding behind Duan Yang, "Boss, help, there are ghosts!" ”

Hearing that there are ghosts, everyone can't help but tense their nerves, these days, even angels have popped up, who knows if there will really be ghosts.

Duan Yang looked at Ying Yi, who probed his spiritual power, and then glanced at Luo Jin, who was still trembling behind Duan Yang's back, in a strange way.

"Chief, there are no ghosts, the thing in that field seems to be a statue."
