At this time, the little seedling in the palm of his hand moved, He Luxi spread out his palm, and the little seedling immediately stretched out in the direction of the dead tree, and the two immediately stopped advancing. Song Yan glanced at He Luxi, and the two looked at Xiao Miao at the same time. The seedling touched the trunk of the dead tree, and He Luxi didn't have time to stop it, but if there was no danger, he let it go. He Luxi didn't know what Xiao Miao meant, and finally she sensed it, and Xiao Miao returned to the palm of her hand, He Luxi didn't say much, gave Song Yan a look, and the two of them continued to walk towards the village. Song Yan chose a household near the entrance of the village, there were no zombies in it when he climbed over the wall and entered, not even corpses, it was clean, the two entered a room, froze the doors and windows, and then returned to the space.

Song Yan: "Daughter-in-law, what happened just now?" ”

He Luxi: "Xiao Miao said that the tree is not dead, and there is a crystal nucleus in it. ”

Song Yan: "Really? Great, it's definitely a wood-based crystal nucleus. ”

He Luxi: "But I haven't heard of plants having crystal nuclei, I've only heard that some plants eat people." ”

Song Yan: "What's impossible about this, that is, before the end of the world, there were insects-eating plants in the rainforest, and this is the end of the world, and people are not allowed to change their tastes." ”

He Luxi: "Husband, how are you ...... Also kidding. He Luxi was still distressed just now, but now he is amused by Song Yan.

Song Yan: "There is, daughter-in-law, don't worry, Xiao Miao shouldn't be mistaken, I'm more worried that there will be abnormalities in this village than this." You see the rancid smell here is very light, there must have been zombies and corpses, but the smell is so light, it's strange. ”

He Luxi: "That's true. So what do you say? I'll leave tomorrow. ”

Song Yan: "Dig up the crystal nucleus of that tree first, this village is weird, we won't go in, it's too late today, we'll act early tomorrow morning." ”

He Luxi: "Okay, I think it is, too." Song Yan thought for a long time about how to cut down the trees this night, and the two listened to the meaning of the seedlings, the crystal nucleus may be in the position of the root of the tree, they don't have the tools to cut the wood, is it going to freeze into ice and break it, but a hundred-year-old tree, Song Yan's ice ability is still freezing, and it is impossible for a tree that is so tall. However, it is not practical to cut down the tree with an axe, and if the axe is broken, the tree may not even be cut in half. It seems to be more difficult to dig only the roots, unless there is an excavator, but even if there are two people, they will not be able to operate it. Song Daguan almost lost sleep because of this, or He Luxi forced him to sleep, Song Yan thought before going to bed, their children must be obedient in the future, and the way the child's mother coaxed him to sleep was really violent.

The next day, after having breakfast in the space, the two of them came out. Outside, as when they came in yesterday, although they were worried, they couldn't hide from what they should encounter, but they had to prepare their weapons. The two of them didn't discuss a specific solution last night, and He Luxi was also worried, but cutting down trees is not the best way, so it is better to let Xiao Miao check the exact location of the crystal nucleus first, and they can have a plan. He Luxi still prefers to dig the roots of trees, which is easier than cutting down trees. Song Yan got up early in the morning and went to the warehouse to rummage through tools, and after looking for a long time, he didn't find a suitable one, he knew some carpentry work, but he didn't understand logging, and he didn't have the tools to take advantage of. Therefore, it is better to listen to He Luxi's advice. Xiao Miao came to the dead tree, circled around the ancient tree, and did not return to He Luxi's palm until he chose a position, and had a silent exchange with He Luxi.

Wood-based Abilities are generally capable of producing life-like substances, such as seedlings, but each person produces a different entity. Similar lifeforms with wood-based abilities can communicate with trees and plants with the same attributes, especially plants that already have crystal nuclei, which is equivalent to an animal opening up its mind. Although it is not allowed to become a fine after the founding of the country, it is possible after the end of the world. One of the differences between mutant plants and mutant animals is that some plants have already produced crystal nuclei at the beginning of mutation, while mutant animals have to wait until they have evolved to a certain extent, or inadvertently ate crystal nuclei, before they can produce crystal nuclei and open up their spiritual intelligence. This ancient tree just started to mutate and produce crystal nuclei, but it also experienced a bad environment outside, and almost died, and now is the time to be weak, so it is good to die and let He Luxi and them encounter it.

He Luxi: "Husband, Xiao Miao has found the location of the crystal nucleus, but Xiao Miao said, the heel of this tree is not completely dead, do you think it will be dangerous?" ”

Song Yan: "There must be danger, it depends on whether we can settle it, if it is a wood-based zombie, I am still sure, but the plant may be very powerful." ”

He Luxi: "Let's tentatively chop down a few tree trunks first and see the reaction." ”

Song Yan: "Okay, daughter-in-law, do you remember some things about plants in the past?" ”

He Luxi: "I've heard before, generally there are mutant plants in the mountains, cities, ruins, and wastelands have long been gone, and there are many kinds of mutant plants, I have heard that there are mutant animals and people. Some mutant animals also eat mutant plants, but I haven't seen them with my own eyes, and I haven't heard of plants having crystal nuclei. ”

Song Yan: "If we hadn't encountered this, we wouldn't have gone to the mountains, but if we can encounter it, and there is a high probability that there will be crystal nuclei, we can't let it go." He Luxi understood that the wood crystal nucleus was very rare, and Song Yan certainly hoped that he could also become stronger. Therefore, although He Luxi is worried about those unknown things, he will not blindly avoid them in this life. Song Yan took out the axe he used before, looked at the position, and as soon as the axe went down, he cut off a large piece of the tree trunk. I didn't expect this tree to be so fragile, in fact, it is not a dead tree is fragile, as a stranger, Song Yan's strength has already surpassed that of ordinary people, of course, he can cut off a large piece at once, in this way, in fact, the two of them can cut down this tree before dark. However, He Luxi only wanted to test and did not want to waste his efforts. Song Yan cut a few times, but the dead tree did not react. He Luxi was a little relieved, but her vigilance could not be completely lost, she took out a shovel from the space and began to dig the soil, Song Yan took the opportunity to rest for a while, this time in exchange for him to observe the reaction of the dead tree.

Maybe they are too careful, maybe this is a tree that is about to die, in short, He Luxi and Song Yan exchanged and dug up the roots of the tree and they were still fine. Then Song Yan continued to dig up a larger area, and both of them saw the roots of the tree for the first time, and they looked a little angry. Song Yan took out his axe again and began to cut off the roots of the tree above, but this time there was some reaction. He Luxi saw some tree roots move.

He Luxi: "Husband, wait, I saw that one move." ”

Song Yan: "Me too." Both took a few steps back. At this time, Xiao Miao came out of He Luxi's palm, and then the four tentacles of the conductor drilled down from the gap between the roots of the tree, and He Luxi immediately adjusted his posture.

He Luxi: "Husband, prepare a crystal nucleus for me." He Luxi stretched her arms forward to stabilize the tentacles and Xiao Miao's movements, and a light sweat was already starting to break out on her head. Song Yan had already discovered the girl's abnormality, and quickly took out the crystal nucleus and carefully stuffed it into her hand.

He Luxi: "No, feed me directly, so fast." "Song Yan, it can still be like this.
