Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Tree

From the screen of the safe house, Shui Yi saw the endless desert, and a few dilapidated houses made of stones scattered around, this environment did not look very good to survive, so Shui Yi not only brought dry food, but also filled his suitcase with mineral water, and after preparing everything, he finally opened the door.

The moment he stepped into the desert world, the familiar cabin sounded in his head.

"Start assessing the world, start testing the world level, the level of danger, the air quality ·····"

Evaluations are complete!

World Level;

Survival level: Ordinary people can survive

Time flow ratio;1;240 (100,000 RMB consumed in 10 days in this world)

Then the basic common sense and common language about this world turned into memories and appeared in Shui Yi's mind, and after accepting this memory, he already had a basic understanding of this world.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a World Tree in the world, and the humans of this world lived under this World Tree, relying on the World Tree to provide life energy to survive and use life energy to resist all kinds of dangers.

However, one day, the World Tree was invaded by an external force and gradually lost its vitality, and finally fell completely, and since then, the human beings in this world have lost the protection of the Tree of Life, and all kinds of beasts, monsters, and harsh natural environments have been inoculated.

At that time, because the human beings lived under the protection of the World Tree all the year round, they had no means to deal with the sudden disaster, so the human beings on the eighth floor died like this, and in the end, only less than two layers of the population survived.

For the sake of the continuation of the race, the surviving human beings cut down the branches of the World Tree that still have vitality, planted them anew, and after all kinds of hardships, finally cultivated a new small world tree full of vitality, and the living conditions of human beings have been guaranteed since then.

It's just that the small world tree is too small to shelter so many human beings, so human beings have to look for more branches of the world tree with vitality, so one by one the human gathering places formed by the small world tree appeared, in order to distinguish the world tree and the small world tree, people gave the small world tree a new name - the tree of life!

After Shui Yi digested these memories, he deduced from the environment in front of him that this was also a human gathering place.

It's just that this gathering place looks a little desolate, and Shui Yi frowned, because he hasn't found anyone until now, where did the people go?

Do you all stay in the house?

Thinking that Shui Yi knocked on the wooden door, no one answered for a long time, and saw that Shui Yi pushed open the door.

Seeing the true face of the house, the stone room is small, less than 20 square meters, and there is a bed, a table, and a cabinet in the room, and other than that, the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

Judging from the cleanliness of the house, the house is inhabited, but the owner doesn't know where to go.

According to Shui Yi's speculation, since the hut teleported itself to the vicinity of this room, it is very likely that this room is the owner of the letter.

Just when Shui Yi was thinking about what to do next, a cough suddenly came from behind, and Shui Yi turned his mind and saw an old woman in her seventies standing outside the door, and couldn't help but show a vigilant expression!

The old lady said, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

Shui Yi didn't feel a threat from the old man, so he let down his vigilance and explained hesitantly: "I'm here to find Mr. Shu, the owner of this house. ”

The old man was pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you are a guest of Mr. Tree, Mr. Tree should be in the desert now, and he will come back at noon, so why don't you come and sit with us first." ”

Shui Yi thought for a while and finally nodded, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Saying that, he slowly walked towards another stone house on the side, Shui Yi followed quietly, and after entering the old man's house, the old man asked Shui Yi to sit on the edge of the table, and then poured a glass of water for Shui Yi.

Looking at the slightly turbid water in the cup, Shui Yi frowned, but looking at the old man's expectant expression, he finally took a sip of it.

The old man nodded with satisfaction.

Shui Yi asked, "Old man, is this a gathering place?"

The old man nodded and sighed helplessly, "This place was a gathering place not long ago, and it won't be in a short time." ”

"Why?" Shui Yi asked with a frown.

The old man explained, "The Tree of Life in our gathering place has been completely dimmed, and without the supply of the Tree of Life's energy, this place will soon be in ruins. ”

Shui Yi listened to the old man's explanation, and when he thought of the letter sent by Mr. Shu, he understood that his goal this time was probably to light up the Tree of Life in the gathering place.

"Then why don't you get out of here?"

In his opinion, instead of trying to relight the tree of life, it is better to simply leave this place and join the new gathering place!

The old man said, "Our place is too remote, there is no new gathering place within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the young people have already put on their backpacks and left here after knowing that the tree of life has withered and dimmed, and now only we old people with limited mobility are left in the whole gathering place." ”

Shui Yi was silent, it is true that hundreds of kilometers of desert are not to mention old people, even young people may not be able to succeed.

"What is Mr. Tree doing in the desert?" Shui Yi asked again.

"Mr. Tree went to the desert to find a new source of water and a way to light the Tree of Life, but this is basically impossible, but it is not clear why Mr. Tree did not give up. The old man replied.

Then Shui Yi chatted with the old man for a while, and then proposed to go to see the Tree of Life, the old man wanted to take Shui Yi to go in person, but was politely rejected by Shui Yi, the reason for the refusal was because the old man's speed was too slow to hurt.

After the old man pointed out the direction, Shui Yi walked in the direction of the Tree of Life.

In less than two minutes, Shui Yi saw a bleak tree in the center of the gathering place, with no leaves at all, this tree was ten meters high, and the diameter of the trunk was about one meter, although there was not a single leaf on this tree of life, from the lush branches, you could imagine what the previous state of this tree of life was.

Shui Yi touched the smooth trunk with his hand, and couldn't help but wonder how this thing should be lit.

Is it burned with fire? It's absolutely illuminated!

Throw out the chaotic thoughts in your mind and take a new look at this tree of life that is almost lifeless.

After a few minutes, Shui Yi really couldn't see anything, so he could only shake his head and leave, and when he returned to Mr. Tree's hut, he found that the door of Mr. Tree's hut had been opened.

Shui Yi suddenly walked forward and knocked on the door, "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Shu!"

Sitting in the stone room sat a sixty-year-old man who looked quite tough, and although the old man looked old now, it could be judged from the outline of his face that the old man was a beautiful man when he was young, and there was also a cane on the side of the table.

The old man couldn't help frowning when he heard the sound, because he didn't know the young man in front of him at all.

This expression Shui Yi is too familiar, and there is no nonsense, and he directly took out half a piece of fish head jade pendant and the other party's autographed letter.

After seeing this letter, the old man's serious expression softened slightly, and he asked, "Young man, let's sit down first." ”

Shui Yi entered the room and sat opposite the old man, and after the old man took the jade pendant and the letter and checked it, he finally confirmed that the letter was written by him, so he spoke again, "Young man, what is your name?"

Shui Yi replied, "Shui Yi." ”

The tree frowned and said, "It seems that you should be Shui Fu's grandson." ”

Shui Yi was immediately shocked, this was the first time he had met a person from another world who could call out the old man's full name. ”

"You look shocked, didn't your grandfather tell you?" asked the tree.

Shui Yi hurriedly explained: "For some reasons, my grandfather is currently missing, so I don't know where he is, so if you have any clues about the old man, please tell me, I will be grateful!"

The tree was a little incredulous, "Shui Fu is missing?"

Shui Yi nodded.

The tree was silent for a moment and then said, "Actually, I don't know much about your grandfather, I was just entrusted by him to guide you on how to use life energy." ”

Shui Yi was puzzled: "Didn't you write in the letter that I would help you light up the tree of life?"

The tree said: "Teaching you to learn to use life energy is not in conflict with lighting up the tree of life!"

Water Easy "····"

Seeing Shui Yi, the tree was still puzzled and explained, "Or, if you want to light up the Tree of Life, you must first learn to use life energy. ”

Shui Yi can be regarded as understanding, but there is another question in his heart, if according to what the tree says, only by learning to use life energy can the tree of life be lit up, since the tree can teach himself to the old man Bai, then the other party should be a master of using life energy, why not light up the tree of life yourself?

But seeing that the tree didn't mean to explain, he didn't ask too much about it.

Shu said: "Since you want to learn how to use life energy, it is not a matter of one or two days, I will arrange a place for you to live." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the cane on the table and walked towards the outside of the house, and soon Mr. Shu took Shui Yi to a stone house next door.

Then he pushed the door to Shui Yi and said, "From here on, this is where you live." ”

Shui Yi walked in and found that there was only one bed in the house, and the environment was worse than the house where Mr. Shu lived, but he didn't care, in fact, he had been to so many different worlds, only the martial arts world was the most comfortable to live in, the gene world and the martial arts world The former needless to say, the latter In order to let the thousand-faced fox teach him how to make a mask, he took the other party to stay in the deep mountains and old forests for nearly a month, and he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long, so it was not miserable!
