Chapter 244: High Temperature

After waiting for an hour, it was finally time to start, and Fan Wu immediately began to climb the tree after a reminder from the tree soul.

This time it may be because the timing is correct, or it may be because there is no tree spirit to protect it, and it is a little easier to climb the tree than the previous one.

But it is still difficult, the main reason is that the banyan tree has a trunk of two or three meters, and there is no focus point, and after Fan Wu ascended the tree, the cultivation of the whole body was suppressed, and he could only rely on pure physical strength to support it.

Regarding this point, the Tree Soul had already told him in advance, because the Ancestral Temple was still operating normally after all, and if it did not take the initiative to attack Fan Wu at this time, it did not mean that this place was completely undefended.

However, even though Fan Wu was prepared in his heart, he was still a little frightened by the difficulty of the banyan tree, it looked like an ordinary banyan tree, and he didn't feel anything special when he touched the banyan tree when he stood on the ground before.

But when he got his feet off the ground and climbed the tree, he found that the space on the tree seemed to exist independently, which was not at all the same as the ancestral temple on the ground, and the temperature here was at least about 20 degrees higher than that felt on the ground.

Fan Wu Zaizu Temple has been here for so long, the temperature on the ground has been maintained at about 20 degrees, which is quite comfortable and pleasant, but the temperature on the banyan tree is at least more than 40, and it is still rising with the height of climbing.

According to this trend, if you climb to the top of the tree, it is estimated that the temperature will definitely exceed 60, and if you are an ordinary person, you will die of heat before you reach the top of the tree.

Although Fan Wu is no longer an ordinary person, and his body has been tempered after two deaths, such a high temperature will still affect his state.

Fan Wu couldn't help but look back at the old man standing not far away and asked a few words, but it seemed that the old man didn't know what was going on, because this was also the first time he had seen the temperature of the space on the banyan tree rise so high.

Fortunately, after reaching a height of 3 meters, there are already horizontal branches to borrow, and there are branches sticking out all the way to the top, so the technical requirements are not very high, and the main difficulty is still from the high temperature.

Fan Wu miscalculated, when he reached a height of 5 meters, the temperature had risen to more than 50 degrees, and his whole body was already soaked with sweat, and there were some signs of panting.

Fan Wu looked up at the top of the tree more than ten meters high, and was a little impulsive, but there was no way, because all the remaining leaves were concentrated at the top of the tree, and the shortest one was only available at a height of more than 9 meters.

Gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, climbing to the 9-meter horizontal branch, where the temperature had exceeded 60 degrees, and Fan Wu had now stuck out his tongue like a dog to help dissipate heat.

But at this temperature, let alone sticking out your tongue, even if you peel the skin is useless, fortunately the first leaf is already close at hand, and you can reach it with your hand.

Fan Wu did a good job on the horizontal branch, leaned out a little, and held the leaf not far away with one hand, and did not flash the content of the picture in front of him like the previous fallen leaves, but began to emit a hazy blue light from the leaf, enveloping Fan Wu entirely.

After being shrouded in blue light, Fan Wu immediately felt a burst of coolness coming from his body, and the high temperature on the banyan tree was immediately isolated, and the whole person seemed to suddenly enter an air-conditioned room in the hot summer, comfortable!

This comfortable feeling made Fan Wuxian a little distracted, because it came too suddenly, he originally thought that getting the leaf would be the same as before, watching some pictures, and then absorbing the energy of the leaf.

I didn't expect that the leaves still had the function of cooling down, and there was no picture of it, and I didn't feel the energy on the leaves until now.

Fan Wu, who was puzzled, looked at the old man who was looking up under the tree, and couldn't help but ask:

"Old Banyan Tree, what's going on? Why is there no picture and no energy?"

From the beginning of Fan Wu's climb of the tree, the old man stood under the tree and looked at it, the previous question caused his doubts, in this long time, the banyan tree did not have any abnormality, how could Fan Wu have such a strange change as soon as he went up?

And this kind of change is still quite extreme, there will be a high-temperature space, he sensed the situation in the inner hall of the ancestral temple, and did not find any abnormal reaction over there, which is even more strange.

If it weren't for the defense counterattack of the ancestral temple, what would have caused such a change? In addition to hindering Fan Wu's climbing, the biggest effect of this high-temperature space was actually to affect the state of the banyan tree.

Except for some special varieties, no plant prefers high temperatures, and although the banyan tree is relatively heat-tolerant, it is unlikely that it can last long at such high temperatures.

The old man is the soul of the banyan tree, so he is the most sensitive to the changes of the banyan tree, and the high-temperature space starts when Fan Wu takes the first step, basically without any warning.

As the height of Fan Wu's climb increased, the temperature also rose higher and higher, and the banyan tree had begun to show some signs of drying, but the amplitude was not too large, and it should be able to last for a long time, enough to cope with Fan Wu absorbing all the leaves.

So the old man didn't say too much to Fan Wu, so as not to disturb his actions, but what he didn't expect was that even the process of absorbing the leaves had problems.

Although the Tree Soul had never seen the act of absorbing fresh leaves before, as a Tree Soul, he clearly knew that the whole process should not be like this.

Normally, as long as Fan Wu's body touches the leaves, he can automatically absorb the energy inside, as for whether he can see the picture, he doesn't know very well, but the absorption process is definitely not what it is now.

After hearing Fan Wu's inquiry, the old man couldn't answer why, so he had to tell Fan Wu about the current situation of the banyan tree, adding his understanding of the current situation, and then letting Fan Wu decide how to continue.

After hearing this, Fan Wu realized that the current situation was very abnormal, and even the tree soul of the banyan tree itself didn't know what was going on, and it seemed to be a little troublesome.

But Fan Wu doesn't have much time to reconsider this matter now, since there is an accident in the absorption of leaves, then find a way to find the piece that belongs to him first, see if he can absorb it first, and then talk about the rest.

Fan Wu told the tree soul standing below about his idea, and the old man agreed with him, so Fan Wu brushed aside all the leaves in the middle and crawled his nails to the top of the tree.

It is possible that the high temperature here did not expect Fan Wu to let go of the leaves that were readily available so simply, so in the process of climbing up, he felt that the temperature did not seem to rise much.

Knowing that when he came to the top branch and could already see his own leaf, the temperature here had only risen to 70 degrees, but it seemed that the temperature had not stopped there, and was still slowly rising.

However, although the temperature reaction was half a beat, the high temperature of 70 degrees was enough to make Fan Wu very uncomfortable, and he now felt that he was about to burn.

Fortunately, no matter how high the temperature in the space was, the branches and trunks of the banyan tree still maintained a normal temperature, so that Fan Wu would not have nowhere to focus.

Under the smoky temperature, Fan Wu quickly approached his own leaf, the leaf was very recognizable, and it was different from the one next to him.

The other leaves are dark green, but the one corresponding to Fan Wu is emerald green, which may mean that he is still alive, and the others are ancient.

However, Fan Wu didn't have so much time to think about these issues now, approached as fast as he could, shot as fast as he could, and held the leaf for the first time.

But like the first leaf in front, there is still no reaction, just like holding an ordinary banyan leaf, there is no energy transmission at all, and even the picture does not appear.

Fan Wu knew that the old man didn't know anything about this, so he didn't waste any time asking, but decided directly by himself, and his decision was to take it violently.

Because he already felt a hint of danger, from the moment he held the leaf, the temperature here began to soar in an instant, before it was a few tenths of a point, and now it has begun to rise for a while.

In the few seconds he held the leaves, the temperature had risen to over 80 degrees, and from his current angle, he could see that the ends of the branches far from the trunk had begun to dehydrate and dry.

It is estimated that it will soon spread to the range of the trunk, and then the 72 leaves left at the end, if this is a normal test, defense and other processes, Fan Wu will not be in such a hurry to remove the leaves.

But just now the tree soul has already said that he doesn't know what the reason for this change is, so he can't judge, this shouldn't be from the ancestral temple's defense protection mechanism, and he may not know which enemy or other existence is using what tricks are affecting the operation here.

It doesn't have to be against Fan Wu, it may just be an action against the ancestral temple, but no matter what, if it goes on like this, the banyan tree is estimated to be unable to be saved, and if the entire banyan tree is gone, then Fan Wu's accumulation will also disappear.

So he thought of picking all the leaves immediately, although he didn't know if doing so would destroy the properties of the leaves, and it was possible that he couldn't see the purpose of absorbing energy in the end, but now he couldn't care so much.

How many of the remaining 72 leaves can be taken, as for whether they can be used after taking them down, when the time comes, of course, the most important thing is the leaf that belongs to his life, so Fan Wu decided to start picking leaves without hesitation.

But when he tried to pluck the leaves, he found that it was not easy to get the leaves directly.

The previous high temperature had nothing to do with the ancestral temple, but when he was about to pick the leaves, he encountered the ancestral temple's defensive counterattack.

Because from the perspective of the ancestral temple, picking the leaves on the banyan tree is tantamount to attacking the banyan tree, and this behavior must of course be counterattacked.

And the ancestral temple's counterattack was also direct and simple, that is, a dense spike suddenly stabbed on the branch where Fan Wu was standing, and skewered Fan Wu's whole person on the tree.
