(Today's Chapter 2~)

After absorbing the light cluster, he subconsciously pinched the flesh on his body, and then said in a daze: "Is it an illusion?" Why do I feel so much stronger again? ”

After thinking about it, he actually took out a knife from the backpack he was carrying with him and put it directly on his forearm!

Without hesitation, he manipulated the knife, the blade pressed against his skin. With a wave of his right hand, the tip of the knife slashed through the skin of his arm, and as a result, not only did the expected scene of blood dripping not appear, but on the contrary, he did not even cut a little cut on the outer skin, leaving only a shallow white mark!

His gaze was calm, and the strength of his right hand gradually increased, and he slashed at his arm again and again, as if it was not his own flesh at all, but the sandpaper for sharpening the knife. Finally, when his right hand was even trembling slightly because of the excessive force, he finally "got his wish" and made a small cut in his arm!

Watching the blood slowly oozing out of the knife, Han Bai's face was full of joy, if someone who didn't know what was going on saw it, most of them would think that it was a masochist!

"This is actually true, not a delusion!" He waved his arm excitedly, and said happily, "Could this be the enhancement effect produced by absorbing the mutant ants?" It seems to make the skin hard. Come to think of it, the ant's whole body is indeed hard and abnormal, and the only weakness is that the joints between the knots are too fragile, and after absorbing its light clusters, I seem to have inherited the advantages of its solid skin. ”

A bold speculation appeared in his mind: would each time he absorb a different mutant beast, he would inherit some of its characteristics and abilities? When he was absorbing spiders before, he also had a strange feeling, but the performance at that time was numb, and now that I think about it, it is very likely that he inherited the characteristics of spider paralysis venom! This trait may be manifested when using psionic energy.

So the question is: does this feature work well for all mutants?

Will the effect bonus obtained by repeatedly absorbing the same mutant beast increase?

In addition, he vaguely felt that absorbing mutant beasts to obtain special enhancements might be his unique ability. Feelings tell him that in this process, the greedy talent plays a major role. However, whether his guess is correct or not needs to be compared with others as a test, and he can't think of the result on his own, so he quickly stops thinking about it.

Attention returned to the giant tree. Now, no insect could stop Han Bai from exploring the mystery.

Han Bai walked under the giant tree and finally had a chance to get a glimpse of the scenery above.

Cautiously and curiously, he raised his head and looked up.

However, this look made him dumbfounded on the spot!

"This tree...... It's TM's...... Apple tree?! Han Bai roared angrily, his mouth open enough to eat his fist!

It turned out that the dense canopy of the tree was full of round and solid, red fruit hanging from the branches of the tree with a small tail.

Han Bai was angry, he followed and ambushed all the way, and endured until now, and the biggest secret he found was an apple tree!

Are mutant spiders and ants so fond of apples? You died just for the trunk of an apple tree?

No, definitely not...... Han Bai came to his senses in time.

Something must be wrong. The tree in front of you, even if it is an apple tree, will never be an ordinary apple tree. But don't forget, because of such a tree, there is no vegetation within a few hundred meters around, and even the most vigorous weeds are dead! The reason for this is only because the giant tree has robbed the surrounding water and nutrients away, and this result can only occur. Han Bai looked at the ground steadily, although he couldn't see what the ground looked like, he could also guess that the rhizome of the giant tree must be deeply rooted in the soil, and spread outward unscrupulously. At this level, maybe the giant tree will be bigger underground than it is above!

The giant tree absorbs all the nutrients of the land within a radius of several hundred meters, but only bears a few apples? Han Bai wouldn't believe it no matter how he thought about it.

He raised his head and wanted to scan the apple in his mind through his eyesight, and then analyze it with a multidimensional table, but his vision was not clear and he couldn't analyze it. After thinking about it, he simply jumped onto the thick trunk of the big tree, intending to climb up to see what was going on!

Climbing trees has not been done for a long time since he graduated from elementary school, but fortunately, his physical fitness has been greatly improved, and it is not difficult to climb a tree. In a few moments, he sat down on the branch of the canopy.

Sitting on the tree, his first reaction was to look into the distance. The height of this giant tree can be about ten meters, and when you sit on it, you can see it from afar, and the view is quite good, as if the whole world is much smaller.

Han Bai fortunately leaned his whole body on the branch of the tree, and savored a rare moment of leisure time.

It's been a long time since I've felt this feeling of leisure. The breeze blowing in his face actually gave him a little lazy comfort, and he really wished that time would stand still here, not moving.

It's a pity that the ideal is the ideal, and the reality is the reality. Han Bai wouldn't confuse it, and he couldn't confuse it, so it didn't take long for him to draw his attention back and pay attention to the fruit around him.

Observing these "apples" so closely made Han Bai drool a little. In all fairness, this little apple is really more colorful than one, and the red skin on the outside is tender and red, which really makes people pick it up and bite it. In fact, Han Bai did exactly that.

He reached over and grabbed the little apple closest to him.

Well? The tactile feel of this start...... It's actually soft?

Han Bai held it in his hand and pinched it in surprise, and his fingers could actually sink into it.

Such a soft and fruitful "fruit" instantly made Han Bai want to go elsewhere, and he couldn't help but blush......

No, no, what are you thinking at this time! There is something wrong with this fruit!

Han Bai's face turned straight and he looked at the huge canopy again.

It's not just the fruit that's problematic, it's the whole tree. There is a phenomenon that Han Bai has been feeling strange for a long time.

Why does such a large tree, with a huge crown, bear only sporadic fruit? Han Bai counted the fruits on the tree diligently, and found that there were only a few dozen. The number of scarce fruits is very asymmetrical to the size of the giant tree.

A thought suddenly flashed through Han Bai's mind: Could it be that these fruits are not fully ripe? Perhaps it was because of this that the previous tarantula guard only watched under the tree for a while before leaving.

If so, it is not difficult to understand why there is only so little fruit on the tree.

Looking at these delicate "little apples", Han Bai couldn't help but lick his lips.

When he first saw the fruits, his idea was to pick some and keep them as bait. Since those bugs are willing to fight for these things, they must be something quite important to them. Bugs have always been very sensitive to this kind of thing. As long as you can put a few fruits on the doorstep of a certain spider population or ant population, it is not difficult to lure them out little by little.

At that time, as long as the second-order and above monsters did not appear, Han Bai would undoubtedly be able to make a big profit.

But now, in the face of this delicate fruit in his hand, Han Bai somehow had an unprecedented impulse.

Yes, the impulse, the impulse to devour!

An impulse to pluck the fruit and swallow it in your mouth!

He resisted this impulse, took it patiently, and analyzed it with a multidimensional table scan.

As a result, the data fed back surprised Han Bai!
