Chapter 55: The Grease Tree

Following the scent, everyone soon came to an open area!

There was an open area by the river, which surprised the expedition team!

When I got closer, I realized that the open area was surrounded by thin shrubs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Speaking of shrubs, it is only relative to the tall trees on the shore!

There are many types of shrubs, all of which are about five meters tall and feature a very slender trunk that is only the thickness of an adult's arm! This diameter, compared to other trees, can really be called "slender".

The bushes are very dense, but there are a few passages on the side that have been squeezed out by large creatures. Previously, everyone was also on a large tree on the periphery, and saw this bush that had obviously been destroyed by large creatures.

It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and everyone didn't feel any danger, so they walked along the passage full of strange footprints.

The nearby area has been changed beyond recognition, Qi Fei judged the direction of the channel according to the activity of the water element, not to go deep into the river, but along the Yangtze River, towards the downstream!

In those passages that were squeezed out, after walking for more than ten minutes, the fragrance became stronger and stronger.

Chu Tian cautiously instructed everyone to take out the white roots of the mutated camphor tree and put them in his jacket pocket. Take the lead from the backpack, take out two alloy short sticks, and walk forward.

Two alloy short sticks are extremely convenient for defense, and when fighting, they can also be put together into a long stick.

Walking out of the passage, the light in front of everyone's eyes lit up, and they had come to a sunny area! Sunlight means that there are no large trees nearby, and after seeing the situation in the sun, everyone is also stunned for a while, and the area in front of them is full of all kinds of flowers, and you can't see the edge at a glance!

"It's so beautiful!" The only woman in the group, Zhang Ping couldn't help but open her mouth first! The others nodded in agreement!

It is indeed a very beautiful place, as far as the eye can see, it is like a sea of flowers, and all kinds of flying beasts are flying around in the flowers, and they are not panicked at all because of the invasion of a few people!

"Shhh

Li Qiang let out a miserable howl, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I saw him holding his arms there, constantly inhaling, and it seemed that he was enduring it very hard!

It can't be another bee sting, right? This was the first reaction of the crowd, but there seemed to be no "buzzing" sound nearby, and no bees were seen.

Seeing everyone looking over, Li Qiang couldn't help but explain embarrassedly: "I just wanted to try if I was dreaming, but I didn't expect what I see now is real, not a dream!" After saying that, he also revealed a bruised place to everyone!

The crowd was speechless!

Chu Tian observed the periphery of the sea of flowers for a while, and found that those flying beasts seemed to be looking for something nearby. After thinking about it for a while, he closed his eyes and used his mental power to sense the changes in the vicinity.

It's also strange to say, there was so much movement at night, and now the sea of flowers has not been affected too much, and it seems that the beasts have retreated when they get here. To say that there is nothing abnormal nearby, it is definitely impossible, in fact, Chu Tian also feels that there should be some natural treasure nearby, attracting the mutant beast group.

Human instinct has been degraded for a long time, and Chu Tian's perception of the vicinity has greatly enhanced after his spiritual power comprehends the realm. Although he can't do the realm of seeing things like Zhang Qian, as long as he disperses his spiritual power, he can still sense some changes.

The fragrance nearby is very strong, and after approaching the sea of flowers, the previous fragrance has been mixed with other floral fragrances.

After Chu Tian spread out his spiritual power, the space creatures shrouded in his own realm were all within his perception. The center of this realm is himself, and after sensing it for a long time, he did not find anything abnormal on the ground, but clearly felt the vigorous vitality exuded by those shrubs in the sea of flowers.

As if thinking of something, Chu Tian sat on the ground, touched the ground with his right hand, and after sensing it, he showed a sudden expression!

"Brother Chu, what did you find?" Zhang Ping saw that Chu Tian seemed to have gained something, and immediately ran over and asked, and several other people also looked at him expectantly.

"On the surface of the ground, there is a plant that can absorb a lot of energy nearby, causing the nearby trees to dare not approach, and most of the flowers on the ground are its branches. My mental power is not strong enough to sense the general direction, I think it should be an omnivorous plant, which has a great need for energy. ā€

"Omnivorous plants? Is it similar to pitcher plants? ā€

"Well, it's much more advanced than the pitcher plant, somewhat similar to the small tree found in the granary of Xiaochenzhuang."

"Is that the kind of yellow fruit that you used to have?"

In the team, the three of them all joined later, and they didn't know the situation of the small tree found by Xiao Chenzhuang, but after Wang Fei's explanation, they were generally clear about the magical plant. It is not difficult to imagine that the team is many times stronger than the small tree before.

"Do you need to go back and call someone?" Jia Zhengyang looked very open, if this plant was really aggressive, Chu Tian would not be so calm, the only thing he needed to consider was how to get this plant back.

Chu Tian glanced at a few teammates, and finally his eyes fell on Yue Zhiliang's body, he could still think of a way for the mutant plants on the ground, and the underground ones could only rely on the only earth-based ability in the team.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Tomorrow will be New Year's Day, try to detect the situation in the neighborhood in the morning, and go back early." After a while, it mainly depends on Lao Yue's ability, and once he finds the main part of the plant, Zhang He will also make a big effort. ā€

After speaking, he took the lead in one direction, and everyone hurried to follow.

The nearby sea of flowers grew very irregularly, and after Chu Tian instructed everyone to pay attention to the surrounding environment, he put the main spiritual power under the land.

I don't know how long it took, Chu Tian motioned for everyone to stop, there were not many flowers nearby, and there were some legumes growing in them. From the outside, it looks like an iron broom tree, but when you get closer, you find that the leaves of this plant are more like the pine needles of a pine tree, and if you look closely, you can see green pods.

After careful observation, Chu Tian had already determined that this legume was the "oil tree" that was widely planted by humans in later generations! This oil tree is able to absorb all the nearby energy and store the energy in the body, especially to produce fruits, and the energy contained in it can be compared to second-level blood crystals!

Second-level blood crystals, at least second-order mutant beasts or above, or energy crystals that can only be produced by zombie creatures, contain a large amount of biological energy. And this kind of oil tree, only by the absorption of the roots, can produce this kind of energy crystals, it is not difficult to imagine the importance of this kind of tree.

In Chu Tian's induction, this oil tree was growing on top of that omnivorous plant, and it seemed to be just a companion plant of the other party!

After a few words of instruction to Yue Zhiliang, the other party put his hands on the ground, and the nearby land began to become soft. Taking advantage of Yue Zhiliang's ability to use the soil system, several teammates also followed Chu Tian's example, pulled out all the nearby grease trees, and then shook off the soil at the roots, wrapped the roots of the grease trees, and put them on the side.

There were only a few dozen grease trees nearby, and they were quickly pulled out by the expedition team and placed together. It was still Yue Zhiliang who used his ability to bury these grease trees in the ground, and then everyone began to dig the pit with all hands and feet.

Yue Zhiliang's earth-based ability can only make the land change soft, and it is enough to use it to set traps, but if you want to dig deeper, you also need the cooperation of manpower.

After more than an hour of busy work, a large pit of more than 30 meters has been dug out of the ground, and damp soil can already be seen nearby! This is the riverside, digging so deep that I didn't see the spring, I have to say, the nearby land is really abnormal.

After turning over the damp soil, the nearby soil began to soften again, and without Chu Tian's reminder, everyone sped up their movements. Soon a section of brown roots was dug up, and as the soil peeled off nearby, those roots were clearly visible, and sure enough, they were spreading obliquely towards the sea of flowers in the distance.

Zhang He put his hands on the root of the tree for a while, and said, "Brother Chu, there are still many branches nearby. I felt that the vitality of the roots was stronger than that of any plant I had seen before. The roots seem to be sending some kind of energy to the flowers, similar to my catalytic ability! ā€

"Catalysis? Catalyze the growth of those flower bushes? ā€

"The upgrade of the flowers on the surface is indeed much more vigorous than before, there are a few places, there are already with the camphor tree near the park, some of them have been spelled, and there won't be a dream stone below, right?"

"It is impossible for the meteorite to land so deeply, otherwise there would have been a strong tremor in Han City. I guess it's the seed of some kind of plant that was buried in the ground before, but this time it accidentally took root and sprouted, and I don't know if this plant is a threat to humans. ā€

"Where did the beasts end up in the night? It's not going to be all killed by this plant, is it? Jia Zhengyang said casually.

Hearing Jia Zhengyang's words, Chu Tian felt a faint uneasiness in his heart, he could attract a herd of beasts at night, but what if it was daytime?

A light breeze blew, and Chu Tian immediately smelled the fragrance of flowers mixed in the air, the same as the one he had smelled when he came over before. The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense as the fragrance intensified.

"Brother Chu, some of the fragrances in the air seem to have a strong soothing effect on spiritual power, I think if it weren't for the camphor roots we carried, I'm afraid we would have been stunned at this time!" Zhang Ping carefully identified the fragrance in the air and said with a serious face.

Chu Tian nodded, put his right hand in the soil again and sensed it, took out two alloy short sticks from his backpack, merged them into a long stick, and said: "The situation has changed, maybe the plant in the ground has really given birth to spiritual wisdom, maybe the flowers are no longer safe, I plan to go over and take a look, you follow closely, maybe you will run into a herd of beasts." ā€

A group of seven people climbed out of the pit they had just dug, and immediately noticed that the fragrance in the air was getting more and more tangy, and it seemed that something unusual had happened to the sea of flowers since they started digging the pit. It was daytime, and Chu Tian wanted to take the opportunity to check it out.

After only a few steps, there was a "fluttering" sound in the nearby sky, and it seemed that there were many flying beasts rushing towards this direction in all directions!

"Zhengyang, protect the back; Wang Fei, rush forward with me; Brother Qiang, Lao Yue, guard both sides, and pay attention to taking care of Zhang Ping and Zhang He. It looks like we're really going to run into a herd of beasts, and there are still quite a few of them, so let's go to the woods outside the flowers to see the situation.

An air current blew through, and everyone's bodies suddenly felt lighter, and the pace under their feet was much faster. After Chu Tian confirmed the direction, he swung out the long stick in his hand from time to time, directly knocking those flying beasts that were in the direction of progress into the air.

Wang Fei behind him had already taken out the shield with two characteristics and followed closely behind Chu Tian. Seeing that Chu Tian began to kill those flying beasts, he also quickly fixed the small round shield on his left arm, holding a large square shield in his right hand, and kept swinging his right arm to knock the large flying beasts on both sides into the air.

The middle and back of the team are the easiest places, Jia Zhengyang's wind ability has also broken through to level four, and the small flying beasts have broken through to make up for the wind wall he arranged, and occasionally some stronger flying beasts rush through the wind wall, and they are also quickly killed by Lao Yue and Li Qiang, two muscular men.

After approaching the sea of flowers, he encountered more mutant beasts, and Chu Tian took the members of the team to quickly hide in a forest and began to observe the scene near the sea of flowers. After the end of the world, everyone's eyesight was greatly enhanced, even if they were dozens of meters away, the scene of the flower outside was still clearly visible.

Traps had been set up on this side of the woods in advance, and there were already many branches on three sides, and Zhang He had also spawned several mutant plants nearby, but in a short period of time, there were not too many flying beasts passing through the defense line.

Chu Tian looked towards the sea of flowers, and could clearly see some reptilian creatures similar to the feline family, which had already followed behind the flying beasts and arrived at the sea of flowers first. These mutant beasts were not very large, but they were extremely fast, and they seemed to have already confirmed their direction, and they disappeared straight into one of the flowers.

Just after these small reptilian creatures rushed into the sea of flowers, the large creatures that followed behind them also rushed along those gaps, impacting the surrounding flowers into pieces.

As more and more creatures rushed in, the opening of the flower bush grew larger, and even from a long distance, the members of the expedition team could smell a more refreshing fragrance wafting out of the cracked opening.

There are too many mutant beasts, and the vegetation around the outer wall of the flower is also relatively lush, so I can't see what happened inside for the time being. Chu Tian didn't hesitate for too long, and directly performed light skills, quickly climbing towards the height of a big tree.

It's still a little uneasy to enter head-on, so many creatures rushed in just now, but they didn't come out, so they could only go to the high place first and explore what was going on.
