"Walking Forest?"

Shuge had gradually become accustomed to these unfamiliar terms that came out of Theseus's mouth from time to time, so he was not too surprised, but asked curiously, "What is this?"

"To you, it's nothing more than a concept that once appeared in a distant time, and its essence is no different from what you know to be 'extinct creatures.'"

"Are you sure?"

Questioning was written on his face, "I've seen something that should have belonged to that era in the past few days."

"But what you see is nothing more than inferior defects."

Theseus shook his head, "There is no suitable environment, no sufficient strength and faith base, just a poor imitation using fragments of the past...... Haven't you already found out? They're far from what you see in your dreams."

"Okay."

In this respect, there is no way for Hugue to debate with Theseus, which is a gap created by the cognitive foundation.

So he looked at the roots of the plants that were close at hand, and asked, "I still want to know what are the characteristics of this plant?" What should I do...... Harvest it?"

Theseus sighed, then shifted his chair back to his computer, "Just as the races on land will volunteer to become the family of Mother Earth, there will be something similar about the plants on land."

"You mean...... Plants have their own gods?"

"To be precise, they come together on their own, and form a being that resembles a god."

Theseus explained, "Even at that time, 'the walking forest was a rare miracle.'"

"Large forests have a unified will and are able to make decisions in response to changes in the environment, huh...... For those tribes and civilizations that believe in Mother Earth Goddess, a boundless forest that can move on a large scale at any time can be regarded as a terrible disaster."

"Disaster?"

"Yes, those mutated plants are very dangerous existences, and when they follow the control of the same will and start to move in a specific direction, all living creatures along the way will be captured by them and eventually turned into nutrients for the forest, and in the process, those symbiotic creatures that inhabit the walking forest can also benefit from it."

"It's unimaginable."

Shuge shook his head.

Theseus always understates these phenomena and scenes when describing them, but all of this is a little too distant and bizarre for Huge, who still maintains human knowledge.

"You don't need to imagine it."

Theseus maintained his feminine voice and tone, "After all, you're a pragmatist, so it's good for you to just know it's good for you...... The way to harvest is very simple, just find the core of the plant and touch it...... It may be a little painful, but I can assure you that it will be within your tolerance."

With that, Theseus let out a weird chuckle and turned back to operate the computer.

….

Seeing the other party's appearance, Xiuge couldn't ask anything more.

It was very rare for Theseus to be able to give such detailed information and advice so patiently, and although there was still a hint of elusive evil in his words, he believed that the other party should not be able to plot against himself in this dream shelter.

So he turned around and walked towards the roots of the huge plant.

The magic in Xiuge's body began to work slowly, and he was about to use his magic perception to further confirm the characteristics of the plant, but the magic power had just begun to emanate, and the plant immediately reacted - those roots that were originally just quietly hanging down seemed to sense something, and they immediately "lived", Xiuge saw that they began to curl and stretch continuously, and some of them were constantly "groping" in mid-air, as if they wanted to find the source of this magic power.

So Xiuge

He took two steps away, avoiding the roots and branches that slowly stretched out.

As his magic gradually enveloped the area, a very peculiar "model" was shaped in Xiuge's perception.

Xiuge's eyes widened.

Because in his perception, it is not a plant at all.

It was like a large number of entangled and indiscriminately growing blood vessels, but the flow of these "blood vessels" was not blood, but a power similar to the nature of magic, and Xiuge could hear the faint, heartbeat-like rhythm, in which one after another magic was sent to all parts of the plant, and those constantly moving roots and branches seemed to be affected by this.

"Found it."

Hug quickly captured the source of the rhythm—just above the crowded pot, in the "trunk" of the strange plant.

Shuge quickly adjusted his state, and then walked in that direction, but this time, as if sensing Xiuge's hostility and threat, before he could get closer, the vines, branches and leaves that combined the characteristics of many different plants stretched out in his direction.

As Theseus said, they will find their prey on their own and get nutrients from it.

Conflict inevitably arose.

Faced with these obstacles in front of him, Xiuge had no choice but to summon the touch of Calron, and his hands were immediately covered with hard black, and the huge black sharp claws combined with the sharp arthrops in countless swings began to cut rapidly.

The rhythm of perception begins to accelerate.

The majestic vitality catalyzed countless spiky vines in an instant, but in just a few seconds, this office area, which was already covered with green vegetation, completely turned into an impassable primeval jungle, and Xiuge's progress became slower and slower, and it took a lot of energy and time to even take two steps.

The power of the messenger in the mirror appeared, which caused Xiuge to directly turn into a humanoid mist, he originally wanted to rush directly to the main trunk of the plant, but these vines that blocked him contained strong magical power, so every time Xiuge took a step forward, he needed to consume a lot of magic power.

Finally, he made it to his destination with difficulty.

….

Under the protection barely constructed by the Touch of Calron, Xiuge quickly broke away from the atomized state, and several vines successfully broke through the blockade of the Touch of Calron, winding through the gap like a long snake, and a large number of sharp spikes immediately pierced into Xiuge's body, accompanied by bursts of stinging pain, the magic power in Xiuge's body began to flow.

Obviously, this is a method used by the Walking Forest to obtain strength and nutrients from the body of its prey.

However, Shuge is no ordinary spellcaster.

The magic flowing in his body is naturally not a serious magic power.

It was a poison that Xiuge himself couldn't understand.

As a result, in just an instant, these vines that dared to draw strength from Xiuge's body quickly withered and died, and the corrosive dark green mist even escaped from those withered vines, causing further damage.

Shug smirked and raised the claws in his hand and stabbed them hard in the direction from which the rhythm came.

The vines that covered the core were extremely tough, but they were still unable to stop the claws from cutting through the Culon's touch, and in a few clicks, Shug succeeded in removing the last obstacle, and his goal was finally in sight.

"This is the heart?"

Shuge looked at the encased object, which looked like a heart with a few botanical features, emerald green in color, slightly transparent on the surface, and a large amount of vessel-like plant tissue connected to it.

Xiuge instinctively used the magic vision, so he saw that a steady stream of magic was being generated from this special "heart", and with those "blood vessels" sent everywhere, Xiuge could already feel the vitality contained in it with his eyes alone.

It's a gentle force that people can't help but get close to and embrace.

So he immediately

After removing the black shell covering his left hand, he took a deep breath and leaned towards the slowly beating heart as Theseus had said.

It is not soft to the touch, but a bit like some kind of warm ore, although it is a little cold, but with each beat of it, Xiuge can feel a very natural warmth.

Just as Shuge was seriously feeling the power in the heart of the plant, it had already reacted to the touch of the outside world.

Numerous tiny rhizomes grew out of it, and like silk threads and ropes, they climbed directly up to the palm of Shuge's hand from both sides, and then quickly tightened, fixing Shuge's left hand to the heart.

Instinctively, Hug wanted to resist, but Theseus's voice floated from behind: "Don't move...... It's a normal process, so bear with it and enjoy it."

"Bear with me?"

Xiuge was stunned for a moment, but then he felt a sharp tingling sensation in his palm - it seemed that something had directly broken through the palm of his left hand, and began to drill into his body frantically, this feeling was very strange and terrible, Xiuge even felt that there was a snake writhing in his arm, and it was still gnawing at his own flesh, and little by little it was burrowing deeper into his body.

….

It was more real and concrete than what it was first felt when the Kalon touch pierced through the chest in the dream shelter.

And this time, when Xiuge's physique and spirit were more tenacious, the torture became even longer - he could not escape, and he did not dare to use his ability to resist, so he could only forcibly endure the slow and terrible pain.

The Claron touch faded away, and the vines that had been hostile to Shug dispersed, now seemingly treating him as one of their kind, or as prey that had been successfully captured, and in any case did not attack him in any way.

Shuge remained on one knee, cold sweat from the pain dripping down his face, and as time passed, the distortion of his face gradually turned into numbness, and the pain in his arm had spread to his shoulders and further into his body......

At this moment, the previously mouth-watering vitality finally arrived, and Xiuge could feel that it was continuously injecting into his body with the rhythm of the heart of the plant, so that a new torture began, healing and pain began to go hand in hand, and the roots that had been drilled into Xiuge's body also began to accelerate, which made the pain directly reach the peak, almost penetrating Xiuge's mind.

It's torture!

The vegetation that covered most of the office area began to wither and shrink at this moment, the verdant colors of those perimeters began to fade, and countless necrotic vines and branches fell off from the main body, and immediately turned into invisible magical dust after landing on the ground.

After a few minutes, the previous strange scene had completely disappeared, and only a few vines were still "hugging" Xiuge's body, and at this time, the skin of Xiuge's palms, face, and neck continued to flash with green light, as if something was flowing through his veins.

Finally, this terrible process has come to an end.

After successfully breaking through a certain node, the insane pain dissipated in an instant, replaced by an incomparably active vitality, Xiuge heard the beating of his heart very clearly at this moment, the rhythm seemed to have merged with his body and magic, every beat, every cycle, there was a new magic formation, and quickly filled all the gaps.

The rhizome that bound Xiuge's palm also disappeared, and the crystal clear plant heart also turned into a cloud of green powder as Xiuge's palm was removed, and fell into the dirt below.

"Hoo ......"

Hug gasped hard and rose from the ground.

He looked at his palm, and saw that the wound in the palm of his hand was healing at a slow pace, and not only that, but the ones on his body had been tangled by the thorny vines

There was also a faint tingling sensation on the wound that had formed.

Shuge set his sights on the metal disk, and this time, none of the grooves were successfully filled, but in the center of the disk, the dark green crystal, which had been the source of Shuge's magic, had now changed into a different image—it was no longer the regular-shaped crystal of the past, but a crystal clear green heart.

It flickered softly, like the beating of a heart.

And every time the light flickered, countless magic threads flashed through the lines engraved on the metal disc, and under its influence, the rotation of the entire disc became smoother and smoother, and Xiuge could also feel that the magic power stock in his body seemed to have broken through and entered a new stage.
