The core of the Ghost Tree is just a little above the bottom of the root system that touches the deep sea.
The more you walked up, the more sunken suns emitting light seemed to be rising. It was said that Feng Chen and Yu Xing walked through the dense branches for a while and finally arrived, just wrapped in several sunken suns, forming a small bright space.
The lighting ability of the Silent Sun is terrifying. Before, the entire underground city was supported by the sunken sun during the day, so it was better to make the airtight dark underground bright. Yu Xing was quite foreseeable.
But when he saw the scene in the core part of the Ghost Tree, he was still in silence.
To be honest, it was shocking.
The faint fluorescent light is like blue and green, but it is most like white with nothing. In short, it is difficult to describe it. With human vocabulary and what we see and know, it is probably impossible to find an accurate vocabulary to describe it.
This space, called "Core", is very large, like a small auditorium.
The empty space is as if it was specially reserved. The branches are laid into a flat floor under the feet, with bright fruits above them, and human faces with resentment are embedded on the fruits, as if staring at them from top to bottom.
All of this was wrapped in a burst of rolling black fog, which almost condensed into substance. In the light of the fruit, the fog seemed to have reached some agreement with the light, half penetrated by the light, and the other half became a shadow.
Such light and shadow effects are changing all the time, churning, full of indescribable weirdness, and a little bit of beautiful dreamy feeling.
It is not airtight, but it is gushing with cold wind.
It is deserted, but it is full of resentment.
"It's here." The tiny branches used to cover the body were followed by Yu Fengchen, and Yu Xing was taken to the center of this space.
Yu Xing withdrew his gaze from everywhere and muttered: "Aren't we the only two of us here? Why should we pay attention to our image so much?"
Along the way, he was annoyed by these thin branches, because although Yu Fengchen was controlling it, the branches were very ruthless and would accidentally wipe his clothes and skin, leaving deep or shallow blood marks.
The deepest part on the arm was caused by a sharp branch with sharp thorns. The wound was deeply boned. The branch disappeared with satisfaction in his blood, and Yu Xing looked at the white bones and fell into deep thought.
Could it be that Yu Fengchen is so petty and has already started to deliberately mess with him?
Or is it said that Yu Fengchen knew that it was rare to have such a chance to be so much stronger than him. While he had not started to absorb nutrients, he would first control the branches and hurt him.
Although he will not die, isn’t this process similar to Lingchi?
Yu Fengchen also noticed the wounds covered with Yu Xing and coughed lightly.
"I have no choice but to do this. Do you think my clothes were gone when I came down? They were not worn away by these branches."
Yu Xing glanced at him with distrust.
"This is not the point. Have you seen this gap? Originally, the wooden core was placed here." Yu Fengchen avoided Yu Xing's gaze and pointed in front of him.
He and Yu Xing are now in the center of this space, and on the ground, there is a pit about two people wide. The black fog in the pit is as thick as liquid, and there is almost no need to specifically sense it. The fact that there was a very terrifying and huge energy here naturally appeared in the minds of the two people.
"You pulled out the wooden core." Yu Xing used a affirmative sentence.
"The wood core is actually the core of the Ghost Tree, which is equivalent to the soul of such a huge tree, and also represents his wisdom and thinking ability." Yu Fengchen explained, "All subjective ideas of the Ghost Tree are caused by this wood core. Only by pulling out the core can the remaining energy become ownerless and can be absorbed."
"But you should have other uses for removing the wood core. I remember you said that your own body is made of wood core. With the fusion of your soul, the wood core becomes a human body." Yu Xing thought, "Do you need the wood core more than curse?"
Yu Fengchen: "It is indeed easy to see through when communicating with you."
"Yes, I need the wood core to remove some seals set by Aunt Sharon on me. Because the power of the ghost tree is too huge, my soul could not be well integrated before, so Aunt Sharon sealed the abilities that the wood core has, and I could only untie it bit by bit."
"But the way is still the source of strength growth. We agreed in advance that the curse you are about to absorb will not be digested in less than a month or two." Yu Fengchen pointed gracefully at the energy dissipated around him, but Yu Xing saw the smell of pointing fingers from it.
"And I only came down for three days." Yu Fengchen compared one three with his hands. "I was also responsible for transferring most of the curse in the wood core to the surrounding branches, which means I only absorbed the curse for a while."
He pointed at himself again, and the well-proportioned muscles covered the bones on his pale skin, while the strange and beautiful black lines wrapped around his skin: "This is the result of a little curse. You can imagine how much nutrient I have left for you."
Yu Xing pondered, looked at Yu Fengchen's upper body, and then looked at the pit that originally belonged to the wooden core.
It seemed that this power was quite outrageous. Although he knew that Yu Fengchen's absorption and transformation of curse must be much stronger than that of him, a guy who transformed halfway, the total amount left to him was too much.
Yu Fengchen said that one or two months might also give him face, otherwise what he should say is that it is impossible for these cursed powers to burst him ten or eight times.
"One or two months." Yu Xing touched his chin, "It doesn't matter if I'm here. What should people on the ground do? The activity is about to end in one or two months. Didn't you say you saw me during the event on Dead Sinister Island?"
"How could I get up there?"
Yu Fengchen's expression seemed to be a little clear: "It's okay, maybe I misunderstood."
Yu Xing: "?"
Yu Fengchen: "I saw you a little strange. Anyway, I saw you in a hurry, so I didn't know it carefully. Now I think about it, I saw you in a hurry, and the clothes I was wearing didn't look like you could get on Dead Silent Island. It seemed that you just came over and destroyed the island and left."
"Maybe that's another timeline that comes here to help you."
Yu Xing: "...it's possible, but..."
It seems that this is the only possibility.
But since when did they have such a calm ability to accept themselves who appear in different time and space in the same place?
Once the time is wrong, everything else will become a messier thing the more you think about it.
"No, but, you stay here, I'll leave first." Yu Fengchen was a little worried about Jiang Jieleng's situation.
Seeing that Yu Xing wanted to say something, he intercepted him: "This is a buffet, I pick up whatever I want, and there is no waiter."
After saying that, the waiter was pulled by the branches and disappeared into the overlapping branches.
