Chapter 222: Fairy Fruit Ripe
"No, the vibration is getting stronger and stronger, we can't go up any longer!"
At this moment, the two people following Chen Boqi suddenly shouted in panic.
"Professor Chen, the earthquake wave has exceeded magnitude 8, and a huge earthquake may occur at any time! We must retreat to a safe place immediately!"
"Yes, Professor Chen, we have initially detected the seismic wave level. There is no need to go to the top of the mountain, retreat!"
The two kept shouting at Chen Boqi, saying that they were unwilling to lose their lives for an earthquake.
These words made Chen Boqi very embarrassed. At this moment, Dong Mingquan said: "Boqi, they are right. Why don't you take them down the mountain first!"
Chen Boqi was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What about you, teacher? Don't you follow him down the mountain?"
Dong Mingquan looked up at the top of the mountain calmly and said, "This is the first time in so many years that it has perceived earthquake waves so close!"
"How could I give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? No matter what, I have to stand on the top of the mountain and see with my own eyes the scene of the dragon turning over!"
"If I am still alive, I will record everything. If I am not alive, you will regard this trip to Wolong Mountain as my last teaching!" Dong Mingquan said righteously.
As soon as these words came out, Chen Boqi and the two behind him immediately became respectful.
"Teacher, but" Chen Boqi spoke again unwillingly.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he said that, Dong Mingquan interrupted: "Boqi, I have decided, you guys go down the mountain quickly!"
Chen Boqi's face darkened. He glanced at Gu Yuan and the two behind him, and shouted at Gu Yuan: "Gu Town Mayor, I'm sorry, you can take my two colleagues down the mountain!"
"Professor Chen!" the two colleagues exclaimed in surprise.
Chen Boqi smiled and said, "If the teacher doesn't leave, what kind of face should I, Chen Boqi, leave?"
"You go down the mountain and meet with the people from Longzhou, tell them the situation here, and be prepared!"
When the two heard this, they stopped talking and quickly followed Guyuan down the mountain.
After Gu Yuan and the other two left, Dong Mingquan's worry was swept away, and he glanced at Yan Zanghai and Chen Boqi who were by his side, with a smile on his face.
Chen Boqi said in confusion: "What did the teacher discover? Could this earthquake not come?"
Dong Mingquan smiled and said, "Of course the earthquake will come! And it will definitely come!"
Chen Boqi was confused and didn't understand why his teacher was so happy when the earthquake came.
Yan Zanghai, who was standing beside him, could not hide his joy in his eyes: "Teacher, is this a sign of the ripening of the immortal fruit?"
"Immortal Fruit?" Another thing that confused Chen Boqi.
Dong Mingquan nodded and explained: "That's right, just like sixty years ago, sixty years ago, half a day before the fairy tree appeared, Wolong Mountain also trembled like now."
"Teacher, what are you talking about, what fairy trees, what fairy fruits are you talking about? What does this have to do with earthquakes?"
Finally, Chen Boqi could no longer help but ask in his doubts.
Dong Mingquan glanced at this student who had only known for scientific research for the rest of his life and said with a smile: "Boqi, I called you yesterday, not to ask you to detect earthquakes, but to give you a fairy fate for your teacher!"
Chen Boqi was stunned: "Immortality?"
Dong Mingquan smiled and said, "Yes, the veritable immortal fate is different from the genetic drugs you studied in the institute."
Chen Boqi was shocked. He was the National Geological Administration on the surface, but he had another identity, a researcher of a supergene biological researcher. However, this matter was very secret and his family didn't know about it.
"Teacher, how did you know?" Chen Boqi's face was not very good-looking.
Dong Mingquan waved his hand and said, "Don't be so nervous. This is not a top secret matter. How do you think you got into this project?"
Chen Boqi looked at Dong Mingquan in horror: "Is it you, teacher?"
Dong Mingquan nodded and said, "That's right, as one of the initiators of this project, I also recommend you to enter the project, but your research progress over the years has not been satisfactory!"
"Using artificial editing of genes to improve human functions, stimulate potential with drugs, and achieve extraordinary power. This method is ultimately a way to drink poison to quench thirst. While obtaining super power, it pays the price of consuming vitality!"
Hearing Dong Mingquan's scolding, Chen Boqi was silent. As the teacher said, the genetic drugs studied by his department had defects in overdrawing their vitality.
"But what does this have to do with the immortal fate that the teacher mentioned? Could it be that there are gods in this mountain?" Chen Boqi said with disbelief.
Dong Mingquan laughed and said, "Whether there is or not, you will know at the top of the mountain!"
After saying that, with the help of Yan Zanghai, Dong Mingquan quickly climbed towards the Duanlong Cliff.
Gu Yuan, who took the two of them down the mountain, took advantage of the two of them being unprepared and knocked them out from behind, then wrapped them with his immortal power and threw them into the immortal palace.
If Gu Yuan did this, it would naturally be impossible to waste time taking them back to Wolong Village step by step.
He was worried that Dong Mingquan and the other three were messing around on the Duanlong Cliff, and the impetuousness in his heart became stronger and stronger. Gu Yuan had an intuition that the immortal fruit was about to mature.
After Gu Yuan stunned the two, his figure instantly disappeared on the cliff and appeared in front of the ancient tree in the fairy palace.
As expected, the ancient tree was fully revitalized at this moment. The originally bare branches were covered with pink fruits the size of fists, exuding a refreshing fruit fragrance.
"It smells so good!"
Qiu Lian and Chun Xiao smelled the fruit fragrance and were full of intoxication. They wanted to take a look at the ancient tree, but when they remembered my brother's explanation, they could only resist the impulse in their hearts.
Gu Yuan looked at the fruit tree that was constantly ripe with a serious face: "It has clearly blocked the supply of immortal power, why is it still going to mature? What's wrong with it?"
With such questions, Gu Yuan slowly placed his hand on the ancient tree, but the moment Gu Yuan put his hand on it.
A powerful suction force erupted from the ancient tree, and the surging immortal power was involuntarily absorbed by the ancient tree along the palm of ancient Yuan.
This sudden change made Gu Yuan suddenly startled and he quickly wanted to break the connection with the ancient tree.
But at this moment, there seemed to be a sound in my ears, both anxious and nervous.
It was this sound that seemed to exist and not exist that made Gu Yuan pause and feel a different kind of aura in the ancient tree, like a living thing?
The hot and fresh atmosphere flashed through the ancient tree, and then the entire ancient tree suddenly rose a little higher. The originally pink fruit emitted a scent of overwhelming fragrance at this moment. The fruits changed from pink to fiery red, and the space around the ancient tree became shallow at this moment.
