Chapter 145: Wood
The chocobo "valley" is surrounded by a forest of chocobos. The valley is already huge, and the forest is even bigger, although the chocobo does not use the highest speed of three hertz, but the speed of one and a half hertz is also extremely exaggerated, and it has run for more than twenty minutes in this situation, which shows the distance.
When the chocobos stopped, Xiao Ming and the six found that they had come to the mouth of a cave made up of countless vines and twisted trees. It's hard to see how big the cave really is, because it's deeper underground.
"Is this it, your baby?" Xiao Ming said as he looked at the king-level chocobo.
The king-level chocobo croaked a few times. Pushed Xiao Ming into the cave with his head, and then took two steps back by himself.
"Master, what it means is that there is something in this cave that can stimulate the growth of the surrounding plants and make them have endless empty vegetables, but this kind of thing is harmful to them themselves, and they will die if they touch it, so they can't go in!" Jelly translated the words of the king chocobo.
"Is it effective for plants, but harmful to chocobos?" Xiao Ming frowned: "Or is it harmful to all non-plants?"
"This idiot can't tell. Master, do you want me to send a reconnaissance plane to go in and have a look?" Jelly said.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly an inexplicable energy fluctuated. All the chocobos immediately screamed, pulled Xiao Ming and the others to turn around and run, and ran for a kilometer or two in one breath before stopping.
As soon as they stopped, they saw a green aura gushing out from the mouth of the cave, sweeping across the surrounding area of several hundred meters, and the grass on the ground grew like a catalyst, and the grass that was originally half a foot long was a few blinks of an eye. It becomes several meters long. No wind automatic. It looks terrifying.
"What kind of energy is this? It's so weird, but it doesn't feel dangerous. Is it just harmful to chocobos?" Tifa and the girls sensed carefully, but they didn't feel the danger.
Xiao Ming's expression moved, and he laughed: "I know what's inside." You wait here for me, I'll go in alone!"
"What?" Tifa looked at Xiao Ming puzzled.
"I can't explain it, but I know it's not good for me. But I don't know if it's harmless to you, so it's best for you to wait for me here!" Xiao Ming couldn't explain, so he had to find a lame reason.
Tifa stared into Xiao Ming's eyes for a moment before saying, "Okay." We are waiting for you here, you can go in peace!
Xiao Ming nodded, turned around and ran towards the cave.
"Sister Tifa, do you just let the master go?" Ilti asked curiously, "The master is too bad, what is there to hide from us!"
Tifa smiled and patted her head, "He has his troubles. This matter, he hid it from everyone, and it was very hard to hide it!" As Xiao Ming's fiancée, as one of the women who knew Xiao Ming best, how could Tifa not guess at all?
"Could it be something harmful?" Ilti retracted his gossip look and said sternly.
"Probably not. It probably has something to do with his skills. Maybe there are some contraindications. So no one can say it!" Tifa sighed.
The so-called skills refer to all kinds of soul arts. When Ilti heard this, he immediately shut up and said no more. This is a tacit understanding from top to bottom of Team Zero, and these topics will never be talked about in front of anyone outside of Team Zero.
Xiao Ming walked into the cave alone, the light gradually changed from bright to dark green, then dark green, and finally dark, Xiao Ming did not let the jelly provide illumination, but used soul searching and soul channeling to act as his own eyes.
As he expected, some of the soul energy around him was full of activity, allowing him to "see" a qiē without seeing his five fingers.
After walking for a while, there was a light in front of me again, a very soft emerald green, and as we continued to move forward, the green became more and more green, and finally filled the entire line of sight.
Jelly told Xiao Ming that at this time they had gone more than 100 meters underground.
After walking for a while, when the depth reached one hundred and fifty meters, an arch that seemed to be made of emerald green plant roots appeared in front of Xiao Ming's eyes.
When Xiao Ming stepped over the arch, the ground made a rapid upward buzzing sound, and then his feet flashed, with him as the center, six green bright spots lit up on the ground, and the bright spots immediately extended to all sides after they appeared, and quickly drew a circular formation with a diameter of more than one meter on the ground with these bright spots as the center, and a set of complex circuit systems were outlined based on a six-pointed star in the array, and the overall look was quite profound.
Xiao Ming had seen this same formation on the big plate, and knew that it was something called a formation, but he didn't know what it was for. It's the first time I've seen it in reality.
When he was wondering, the formation became brighter and brighter, and then Xiao Ming felt that his feet were sinking, and the whole person sank to the ground.
Xiao Ming's nerves had already been tempered, and the sudden situation did not make him panic, and as soon as his mind moved, the golden angel Lingwu appeared, spread his wings, and the speed of descent decreased rapidly, and then slowly sank down.
This sinking is 10,000 meters.
"It's strange that it's 10,000 meters underground, but there is no lack of oxygen. Master, this channel is alive, it should be the root of a plant, and it is full of activity, secreting oxygen all the time. Haha, that's funny, this plant might be self-aware. The concentration of oxygen in the roots is constantly changing, and as soon as the owner passes through the place, it will become suitable for the owner to breathe, and once the master has passed through it, it will return to the range suitable for the plant!"
Jelly scanned her surroundings and shouted, "Master, is that the thing?"
"Well, the plate notified me, it should be that thing!" Xiao Ming said.
"That Bai Zhen is too good, after she moved in, she actually kicked me out, and now I can't get in the plate!" the little girl looked aggrieved.
"It's okay, I'll tell you anything!" Xiao Ming smiled, comforting the lost little girl.
As he was speaking, the formation appeared again, the buzzing sound became more sharp, and the formation under Xiao Ming's feet began to rise upward. The green light formed the formation map and suddenly became two. One continued to stay at his feet, while the other rose to the top of Xiao Ming's head, forming a formation that was exactly the same as the one under his feet.
The two formations flickered for a moment, and then each differentiated into a formation and moved to the middle. The two newly generated formations moved to the height of Xiao Ming's waist, and then rotated ninety degrees each in different directions and then erected, turning into two formations that crossed each other at ninety degrees.
The two formations flashed again, and then rotated forty-five degrees in a clockwise direction. The two intersecting maps became four squares distributed in a zigzag pattern. These four formations shone again, and then each formation was divided into two formations, moving outward in their own positive and negative directions, so Xiao Ming and I became a defensive circle composed of eight formations, and he was completely surrounded in the middle.
In the end, the eight-sided magic that surrounded Xiao Ming suddenly rotated slowly in a clockwise direction, and at the same time, the two formations above his head and the soles of his feet also began to rotate, but they rotated counterclockwise.
"What the hell is this?" Xiao Ming was confused.
"It's such a powerful force, mainly, these things are full of great power, the defense has reached a million degrees, oh my God, it's still rising, two million degrees, three million degrees...... Ah, finally stopped, five million seven thousand degrees. It's terrifying, it's already at the level of a platform-level weapon. If the owner has this thing as a defense, there will be nothing to hurt the owner except the Star Destroyer Cannon!" Jelly cried out in shock.
Xiao Ming stretched out his hand and touched those formations, there was no real touch, but he could clearly feel an inexplicable protective power.
Just when Xiao Ming and Jelly were shocked, the sinking was completely still, although there was still a deep hole under his feet that could not be seen, but Xiao Ming stood firmly in the void.
An emerald green crystal ball appeared in front of Xiao Ming's eyes, the crystal ball was the size of a human head, with vines and patterns on it, and it flashed with circles of light from time to time, which was very beautiful.
"Wood Spirit Bead!" Xiao Ming sighed lightly.
Yes, what appeared in front of him was the Wood Spirit Bead, and when the mysterious energy that could give birth to plants burst out, Xiao Ming was notified by the big plate and knew that it was the Wood Spirit Bead here.
Unlike the attacking Fire Spirit Bead and the auxiliary Water Spirit Bead, the Wood Spirit Bead is in charge of life.
The reason why chocobos are injured by the energy of the wood spirit bead is because this energy is too pure, and after absorption, there will be a situation of "overnutrition". In other words, chocobos are simply "propped up" to death. The plant itself has a strong fusion ability, so it can be completely absorbed, plus the plant grows in the earth, and the energy that cannot be absorbed will be absorbed by the earth, so it is not afraid at all.
"Hehe, master, we have found three spirit beads, plus the one we know the whereabouts of, then there is only one that we don't know the whereabouts of. Maybe it won't take long for the master to collect all five spirit beads, maybe something wonderful will happen!" Jelly has a deep interest in a system that she doesn't understand at all.
Xiao Ming nodded, and reached out to put away the Wood Spirit Bead, but he didn't want the Wood Spirit Bead to emit a green light, forming a light film and blocking it.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ming frowned.
"The spirit bead has a spirit, and it will test whether you are qualified to have it. Little guy, get ready!" Bai Zhen's voice appeared in Xiao Ming's mind.
Before Xiao Ming could think, he saw countless branches sticking out of the passage and whipping at him. (To be continued......)
