Chapter 72: A Dead Civilization (4)

Seeing Li Jiaxin disappear so abruptly, a group of people were shocked, and the scouts who were close to the front even gave the giant tree two shots, but the strange thing was that the energy rifle only made a small hole a few meters deep in the giant tree, and it couldn't even penetrate the bark, and soon this small hole was restored to its original state. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Stop, don't shoot, this giant tree is very weird, sparrow, report the situation to the headquarters" Eugene saw that the team members were putting guns indiscriminately and had to stop this kind of brain-dead behavior, before figuring out the situation, don't move casually, this giant tree obviously does not grow naturally, not to mention that there is no such tall tree on the entire planet, it is not easy to say that it can resist the bombardment of S-level energy, and I have never seen such a powerful plant that can evolve in a natural environment. The exception is for greenskinned plants, which are completely artificially modified.

After the sparrow drove the helicopter to the surface of the sea and sent the message to the command center, the group stayed by the giant tree and became helpless. The flagship Eugene also organized people to open a big hole on the other side of the tree, because they didn't know if the thing of the giant tree swallowing people would happen again, so the people involved in the hole could only concentrate their firepower from a distance to bombard a point of the giant tree, and even used individual energy cannons to bombard. However, the result did not change much, no matter how much energy output was increased, the hole could not be deepened even further, and the probe actually detected a high-energy reaction in the depths of the giant tree, Eugene decisively ordered to stop the attack, and waited for the experts sent by the headquarters to arrive.

Soon, a large hole opened in the skin of the giant tree, and the group quickly retreated, all their weapons aimed at the open hole, and whatever came out of it, it was sure to kill with one shot.

"Sparrow, shoot at the hollow of the tree!" Eugene thought for a moment and said.

"Whoosh!" A green beam of energy shot into the cave, and it wasn't long before a familiar voice came.

"Damn! Who the fuck shoots, if it weren't for Lao Tzu with an energy shield, he would have to be opened. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Jiaxin's familiar figure came out of the hole in the tree.

"Captain, you should really go in and take a look, it's amazing inside!" Lee ran up to Eugene and reported.

"What's going on, how did you get in? What's going on inside? Eugene asked in surprise.

"Because of this!" As he spoke, Li took the fist-sized green ball in his hand.

"What is this, and where did it come from?" Eugene stretched out his hand and took it, it looked like gold instead of gold, like jade instead of jade, more like it grew from a plant, I don't know what this thing has to do with this giant tree.

"This ...... Hehe, I found it from the corpses of those intelligent creatures, didn't you tell me not to let them go anywhere, I'll rub them into dust," Li said embarrassedly.

“…………”

"Is there any danger in there?" Eugene asked.

"The captain will know when you go in and take a look, and you will definitely challenge the limits of your imagination," Li said mysteriously.

"How many more of this stuff?"

"One per person is enough" After speaking, Li Jiaxin poured a bunch of green balls out of the folding space, and the team members each took one, and walked to the giant tree at a time, when they were still twenty meters close to the giant tree, the passage suddenly opened, and everyone only felt a burst of suction, and they had already entered the tree hole.

Before "Open the Energy Shield ......" entered, Eugene's voice rang out in everyone's ears.

In fact, there is no need for Eugene to ask at all, since the fleet's announcement was issued, everyone's shields have not been closed, even the warships sailing in the universe are all day-wide energy shields, if it weren't for the fleet's biological crystals being cheap, it would be a lot of money for everyone.

……………

It's a world, and that's the first thing Eugene and the others feel when they enter the inside of the giant tree. The imaginary dark passageway, the tight cabin did not appear, and when everyone entered, they appeared outside a forest, where huge trees grew lush and green, and all kinds of birds and animals lived in it. A green road winds into the distance, and on both sides of the road are low and thick trees, like dwarf winter melons, and all the giant trees have open portals, which are the dwellings of intelligent creatures. On the other side of the forest is a huge lake, a real lake, and although the liquid inside is not water, at least it is not the same as the sea of clouds outside. The lake was sparkling, no creatures poked their heads out of it, there were large flying animals in the sky that didn't fly by, huge transparent wings slowly stirred, I really don't know how such wings carried that mountain-like body.

A pale red sun shone gently in the sky, a warm wind blew from nowhere, colorful wildflowers spread on the ground one by one, and from time to time insects with long tentacles flapped their wings and shuttled among the flowers. Although it is in the alloy armor and isolated by the energy shield, it can be imagined that this is a world of birds and flowers, but it is a pity that everyone can't enjoy it. Not to mention whether there is a threat from the Soul Eater inside, it's just that the environment inside is not something that humans can bear, and most of the air in it is xenon, and humans can't breathe at all.

"It's a paradise," Sparrow exclaimed.

"This should be a refuge for this civilization, this civilization is really powerful, not much better than the greenskins, and can actually build a world in plants. The sun in it should be simulated, the environment inside is also artificially modulated, and what is even more incredible is that it completely uses the power of the plant itself, and there is no scientific and technological component in it, which is really amazing," Vice Captain Peg said with emotion.

"It's not to that point, this civilization is at most at the beginning of the sixth level, and there is absolutely no seventh-level level, otherwise the giant tree would not be so big, with the space technology of the seventh-level civilization, it is completely possible to expand the internal space of a grass to such a large size, and there is no need to be so troublesome." Eugene thought for a moment and said.

"Have you discovered the intelligent creatures of this civilization?"

"No, just like the outside, they're all dead, it seems that their luck is not very good, even if they hide in the shelter, they can't escape the fate of being wiped out by the Soul Eaters." Li Jiaxin was the first to come in, and he had already made a preliminary exploration and knew more about this place than others.

"Let's do a detailed search, maybe we won't find anything." Eugene thought for a moment and said.

More than 100 people scattered in small teams in all directions, some drove off-road vehicles, some rode off-road motorcycles, and the most coquettish was the sparrow, who flew away in a helicopter like a happy ride. In fact, it is safer to stay on land in an unfamiliar environment, who knows if there are any birds and beasts in the sky.

Two hours later, the crowd converged in the heart of the tree, and the result was dismal, all sapient beings were dead, and not a single survivor was left.

"Captain, I've found a situation." Li said.

"Oh? What did you find? Eugene asked curiously. Li's luck with a salary increase is still good, so far the team's major discoveries are inseparable from him, I really don't know what shit luck has gone.

"It's on that tree," Mr. Lee said, pointing to the dead tree near the team.

There are many such dead trees in the woods, and there is nothing incomprehensible about the withering of plants to the limit of their lifespan, so everyone does not care.

"What's wrong with the dead trees, it's everywhere," said the sparrow.

"There's nothing with a dead tree, but there's something wrong with that huge fruit." Li Jiaxin pointed to the dry fruit hanging on the tree and said. Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he walked under the dead tree nearly 100 meters high and picked up a fruit with a diameter of more than one meter and came to the crowd, and then forcefully dissected the fruit, and inside the fruit was the corpse of a juvenile version of an indigenous intelligent creature, and it was completely decomposed, and it was easily turned into ashes after Li Jiaxin's touch, leaving only a green ball the size of a glass marble, which was the same as the one found in the body of a mature intelligent creature, but the size was different.

"It's amazing that these creatures hatched from the fruits of plants!" Sparrow exclaimed.

"I know why these intelligent creatures aren't leaving," Eugene said after a moment's thought, "it's likely that these mother trees wouldn't be able to survive without this planet, so they had to stay here." ”

"Buzz......" As soon as Eugene's words fell, the energy shield of Vice Captain Peg, who was standing on the outermost, flickered sharply, and even had a tendency to fade. Immediately, more and more people's energy shields flickered sharply, and there was a thumping sound.

"Not good, Soul Eater! Everyone, pay attention, all gather together, unite the individual shields, and don't leave it alone, otherwise it will be over if the energy runs out! Eugene said loudly in a loud voice.

"It's okay, captain, we have enough energy, we can still hold on for four or five days." Li said with a big grin.

"Don't be careless, these Soul Eaters have been locked up here for I don't know how long, they must be hungry and crazy, and they will definitely be desperate. Everyone pay attention, evacuate collectively to the outside, and contact the headquarters as soon as they get outside, and let the headquarters pick them up. Eugene said.

"Captain, let's go up to the top, I don't know how tall this giant tree is, maybe when we reach the top, we can get out of the sea of clouds," Sparrow suggested.

"No, the safest plan to be implemented now, it is most certain to go back from the place where you came, I don't know what is in the height of this giant tree, I will have the opportunity to explore it again in the future." Eugene thought for a moment and said.

Then, a group of people got on their own vehicles and quickly retreated towards the way they came, still being attacked by the Soul Eaters along the way, and there was a tendency to intensify, and after an hour, the people who were flying at full speed finally came to the edge of the forest when they came, took out the green ball, and quickly retreated.
