0159: One with nature
Inside the island, the leaves of the plants glow with a strange sheen, as if each leaf contains stars. The branches of the trees are bent and stretched, swaying gently in the breeze blowing above the blue sea.
On the land, the sprouts break through the soil, struggle to grow upward, and strive to open the branches and leaves, enjoying the warm sun.
After a few seconds, the sprout grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the silt fell off after breaking the ground, and in a few seconds, the sprout turned into a large tree.
Let the people nearby who noticed this scene stop and look up from afar.
However, their eyes were soon drawn to another spectacular sight.
It was from the center of the island, and the original sturdy, towering tree, as if inspired, gradually expanded, and the top gradually sank into the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it was like a magnificent tree of Lingyun, stretching the sky and the earth.
It is tall and majestic, with a thick trunk, as if it has been baptized by countless years, and still stands. The bark of the tree is covered with moss and traces of time, giving off an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
The branches spread out in all directions, like a huge net, covering the entire island. Its leaves are broad and thick, taking on a dark green color that shimmers mysteriously in the sunlight. These leaves seem to contain endless vitality, regardless of wind and rain or years, they remain vibrant.
At the top, there is a huge canopy of trees, like a giant umbrella, that covers the entire island. The canopy of the trees is filled with all kinds of strange fruits, some resembling hearts, others resembling stars, with different colors and tantalizing aromas.
Under the trees is a verdant meadow. A variety of exotic flowers and plants grow on the meadows, which thrive under the protection of the tree of life and bloom in brilliant brilliance. These plants also seem to have been influenced by the Tree of Life, which exudes a powerful life force that infuses the entire island with a constant flow of energy.
At this time, as the sun sets on the horizon and night falls, the trees glow with a warm glow, illuminating the entire island, the light is soft and warm, giving people a sense of serenity and tranquility.
"Sir, there seems to be a new situation on the island."
Inside Midway, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. vaguely saw the center of the island through a blurry image captured by a drone, with bright lights flickering.
"I can see it, I can zoom in."
Coulson's brow furrowed, looking at the bright light, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart, but when he was about to get the drone closer, the drone lost contact, and the screen showed no signal source.
"Damn, what was it just shining!"
He was a little angry, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his emotions, if it weren't for this island, he should be ready to take a vacation right now.
After all, he had just returned from injury, and he even bought a ticket for the vacation.
And at the same time.
On the island, in the open space next to the big tree, Rojo looked up at the towering giant tree, and sighed for a long time: "That's the tree of life." ”
"The Tree of Life? Doesn't it sound simple, but this is the tree we used to be the conference room before? Krakoya's brain? ”
Logan Howlett asked.
"Well, it wasn't Krakoa's brain before, but now. This tree of life is. ”
Rojo paused, explaining, "The Tree of Life is the source of the power of the entire Krakoa, the equivalent of the 'brain' as before, its roots go deep into the ground, connect with the life energy of the entire island, give life to the island, absorb the essence of the stars, and glow brightly. Its light provides warmth and light to the island, and it also heals and purifies, driving away all sickness and evil. ”
His tone was emotional.
Because he understands that it is impossible to describe the importance of the tree of life in simple words, but this tree is the key to the future of mutants in the future, and it is an indispensable step.
Rojo didn't expect the Tree of Life to be born so soon.
Of course, it is not simply absorbing the nutrients of dozens of mutants.
Krakoa had been accumulating for a long time before this, and the nutrients of these dozens of mutants only helped it break through the critical point.
"What is the fruit of this tree?"
Laura skillfully climbed the tree, stretched out her paws, cut off the branches, and a few glowing fruits, fell to the soft grass, and rolled a few times, as if smeared with phosphor.
"The fruit of life."
Rojo picked one up, the light of the fruit gradually dissipated, he opened his mouth and ate one, sweet, "It can cure all diseases and make people immune to all viruses. At least the diseases and viruses known on Earth can't make it work, and they can help to increase intelligence. ”
"You're not kidding?"
Charles Xavier was still pondering, those fast-growing sprouts, and when he heard these words, he immediately focused all his attention on the fruit, and picked one up and held it in his hand to ponder carefully.
"Well, if the essence of it is extracted, the effect will be even better."
Rojo flew up, picked a few more, threw them to the people below, and said, "Professor, Krakoa is a product of the gods, and there is more magic in it. ”
The Tree of Life brings the fruits of life, and naturally brings more things, and those vegetation that grows and draws nutrients under the bright light of the Tree of Life will also be affected, and will change subtly over time.
After the professor learned about the miracle of the Tree of Life, he picked all the fruits of life at present, nearly a hundred, and stored them scientifically for experiments, after all, the next time the Tree of Life bears fruit, it seems that it will take a long time.
He plans to extract the essence and try to combine it with other ingredients to improve the effect of the fruit.
Due to the lack of equipment, Marcos and John had to go to some laboratories on land to bring the equipment back to the island, and with Clarice's help, it was easy to steal the equipment.
As Clarice continues to train, she has become proficient in space warp, and the teleportation channel has become more stable, lasting three minutes, and the passage area has increased considerably.
She copes with her daily tasks with ease.
On Rojo's side, after Krakoa completed his first evolution and gave birth to the Tree of Life, he found that his body had also undergone subtle changes.
At the top of the Tree of Life, on top of the huge trunk, there is a natural hollow in the tree, and the perfectly intertwined vines and branches of the trees present everything as magnificently as a palace.
"Is this Krakoya's ability?"
He looked at the vines that appeared in his hands, a little unsure.
It was a rune that revealed endless life, and at the same time, he clearly felt that there was a force surging in the surrounding nature.
