Chapter Ninety-Six: Lingrong
"You're the banyan sapling outside the door, aren't you? Why are you sending these scary things? Wang Chen came back to his senses and asked.
"I didn't mean to be scared, I just wanted to alert the humans here, who knew that the people who came to live here were so fragile and so timid, just seeing the appearance of the corpse and almost without exception were frightened and fainted." The voice of the old consciousness revealed an unspeakable grievance, but it admitted the fact that it was the banyan sapling.
"So, you're not trying to scare the people who moved here, but you're trying to warn them about the strange corpses in the Desert?"
"Yes, young man, you are very smart and special, I feel that your soul is extremely pure and powerful, and you can live without this body, this kind of soul should never appear in a three-dimensional universe." The old voice replied.
"Huh! You are also very special, it is almost impossible for plant creatures to give birth to sapience in the three-dimensional universe, and you actually gave birth to sapience, and you also have a great opportunity to think of it. Wang Chen was noncommittal to the banyan tree when he saw his details, but talked about its encounter with interest.
"It's just a coincidence, but after all, it's not as free as you animals, although I gave birth to a sapient mind, but I can't move, but it's like painting the ground as a prison, not as carefree as before when I didn't have a sapience." The banyan tree was not very proud of the fact that he was a plant but gave birth to spiritual intelligence, but was a little distressed by it.
"Isn't it too hypocritical to let you get this kind of opportunity that no one else can dream of, and you are distressed by it?" Wang Chen said speechlessly.
"If you have a mortal enemy who grows and grows under your nose every day, but you can't do anything but watch it grow day by day, you'll understand why I'm distressed." Banyan explained.
"Your mortal enemy? Is it the Alien King in the Alien Desert? How can you be mortal enemies when you are thousands of miles apart? ”
"Because I have a life source stone under the rhizome of my main body, which all creatures want, and the Alien Corpse King happens to know that I have this life source stone that is extremely beneficial to all living beings, because it almost took away the life source stone when the end of the world just came." Banyan Tree's consciousness is blunt about his secret.
"So, the reason why you gave birth to spiritual intelligence is directly related to this life source stone? Aren't you afraid that I will covet this life source stone if you say it? Wang Chen was a little surprised by its bluntness, this kind of secret was so easy to let himself know?
"Without my permission, unless you spend countless hours and energy uprooting my body, you will not be able to find the Life Source Stone, and after my observation of you in the past few days, you don't have that much ability at all."
"Ontology? Your body is the banyan tree in the center of the base? Wang Chen found a clue in the banyan tree's casual words.
"You are indeed very smart, indeed, that is my essence, and my current body is a body that I evolved with the help of the Life Source Stone and is more suitable for carrying consciousness." The banyan tree has no intention of concealing it.
"So why are you so honest with me? It doesn't just want to talk to someone because you've been holding it for too long, right? Wang Chen didn't feel happy about an old monster who was probably born hundreds of years ago, but was extremely wary of it.
"I want to make a deal with you, you find a suitable place for my body to grow, and I share the Life Source Stone with you." Banyan Tree's consciousness replied through a spiritual connection.
"Aren't you afraid that after I get the Life Source Stone, I will take it for myself and cut you down at the same time? You must know that the temptation ~ charm of exclusive is much greater than sharing. ”
"There's no way, I have to bet this time, because you're the only human I've been able to communicate with for so many years, and now the Alien Corpse King is pressing forward step by step, and if I can't get out of here, even this body will definitely die in the end." And what made me really determined to give it a go was because of the closeness that that special little girl showed to you, although I couldn't communicate directly with her, but I could feel her strong telepathic ability, since she was close to you, although it doesn't mean that you are a good person, but at least it also means that you are not a bad person. Banyan Tree's consciousness was silent for a while and then said.
Wang Chen didn't expect that he could get its trust because of Jiang Weijia's blessing, but he didn't believe Banyan Shu's words, he felt that it would be better to ask for the opinion of Super Brain No. 4 first: "No. 4, is its words credible?" Do you think it's time to make this deal? ”
"Its words are very credible, it can give birth to spiritual wisdom and know the life source stone, which means that its birth spiritual intelligence must be related to the life source stone, otherwise it would not be able to know the life source stone, a treasure that even the high-level life of the nine-dimensional universe will covet. However, for the time being, it can only be determined that it is likely to possess the Life Source Stone, and other aspects of the information need to be analyzed by the host itself. ”
Listening to No. 4's words, Wang Chen also fell silent, No. 4 couldn't be sure whether this was a tempting pie or a deadly trap, he thought for a while and began to slowly tend to agree to this deal in his heart, as the saying goes, "God doesn't take it, but suffers from it", if you don't talk about this kind of thing, it may become a stumbling block for yourself.
However, before giving a positive response, he still had to confirm some things: "The transaction is okay, but there are two prerequisites, one is that the life source stone must be within 1,000 meters of the ground, and the other is that after taking out the life source stone, it must be kept by me first." ”
"The Life Source Stone is not far from the ground under the rhizome of the main trunk of my body, and I knew that there would be such a day when I was born fifty years ago, so I left a passage on the branch, and as long as I followed the passage, I could find it quickly. As for the Life Source Stone, there is no problem with you keeping it for the time being, but you must use the water soaked in the Life Source Stone to irrigate me once a day. Perhaps in order to grasp the last straw, Banyan Shu's consciousness did not have the slightest intention of bargaining, and directly agreed to Wang Chen's request.
"Without further ado, we're going to get the Life Source Stone out now, and we'll leave here tomorrow morning." Now that the decision has been made, Wang Chen no longer hesitates
Wang Chen took advantage of the night to unknowingly come to the huge banyan tree in the center of the desert green boat base, although he has been here for several days, but until today he has stood under the huge trunk of the banyan tree for the first time, but now is obviously not the time to sigh at the grandeur of the banyan tree, because there may be patrols and guards passing by here at any time.
Wang Chen climbed up the main trunk from one of the banyan tree's air roots, and found a circular hole with a diameter of about sixty centimeters in a hidden place on the main trunk, which was the entrance to the passage that the banyan tree had just opened under the control of his body.
