How deep can the water in an artificial lake be?
How could it mutate into such a terrifying behemoth.
It can be seen that this ghost place is indeed much weirder than other places.
Moreover, when I was standing on the edge of an artificial lake, the stone slabs under my feet suddenly softened and became as sticky as syrup.
This is also a phenomenon that makes Jiang Yue very wary.
Since he decided to avoid this place, Jiang Yue naturally would not hesitate.
With a few light leaps of his body, he passed through this area. At this time, he was only a few tens or hundreds of meters away from his destination.
However, the distance of several dozen meters made Jiang Yue feel extremely depressed.
The trees in this area used to stand tall like giants. Compared with before, they had evolved at least five to ten times.
So much so that it blocks out the sky and the sun. Not to mention the tree crowns are all crowded together. Even between the tree trunks, the branches are connected and vines are entangled.
The sky above and around these giant trees is shrouded in a strange mist, which makes it impossible to see the end at first glance. It is so deep that it makes you feel like you have stepped into a deep primitive forest.
The height of these giant trees was far higher than the giants Jiang Yue encountered before. Looking from a distance, it made people feel depressed.
As for the peach groves and pear groves further away, they are even more dark. In the pitch-black night, they look even more mysterious and strange, making people unable to help but have all kinds of terrifying associations.
What surprised Jiang Yue even more was that these giant trees were obviously beyond the category of plants. Even the most dull people could feel that these giant trees were alive, beings endowed with consciousness.
One by one, they stand in the local area, like giant warriors wearing green armor, defending their city and rejecting all external invading enemies.
Any invading creatures will be ruthlessly destroyed and devoured by them!
This sense of pressure was by no means an illusion caused by Jiang Yue, but actually existed.
This was a situation Jiang Yue never expected.
Looking at these giant trees that were calm and exuding an astonishing aura, Jiang Yue was convinced that these giant trees were definitely conscious.
As for whether it was autonomous consciousness, Jiang Yue could not confirm.
However, judging from the posture of these giant trees, they should be completely different from the old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School.
The old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School is obviously not willing to help the evildoer.
As for these giant trees, Jiang Yue always felt that they should be controlled by that mysterious tree.
However, this also allowed Jiang Yue to determine a problem.
These giant trees are standing ready, as if facing a formidable enemy, which may just indicate that there is indeed a problem in this place, and maybe that mysterious tree species really is here.
Otherwise, why would these giant trees show such exaggerated formations?
They must be guarding something.
Jiang Yue watched from a distance and was not in a hurry to approach.
The density and awakening level of these giant trees are obviously far greater than those of the ancient trees in Daozi Lane Villa.
Although the ancient trees at the entrance of Daozi Lane have also evolved, their size is far less exaggerated, and the power and murderous intent they display are far less crazy.
The most important thing is that although the giant trees in Daozi Lane Villa have some spiritual knowledge, they still rely more on instinct to attack.
These giant trees are highly anthropomorphic and can almost be said to be living entities with independent consciousness. Even if they suddenly changed and rushed towards Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue would not be particularly surprised.
Jiang Yue looked at the densely packed giant trees and weighed his fighting power.
In the end, Jiang Yue restrained his impulse.
Not to mention Jiang Yue, even if the giants he fought against, including Tyrant, attacked these giant trees together, they probably wouldn't be able to break through the opponent's defensive formation.
The aura emitted by these giant trees brought Jiang Yue a sense of oppression that might not be as strong as that of a giant individually, but with so many giant trees surrounding him, the sense of oppression was definitely far greater than that of two giants.
He had no doubt that even if he had multiple protections, rushing over rashly would only result in a death.
Fire attack?
It's not like Jiang Yue has never thought about the attack power of the Fire Talisman. To deal with these giant trees, the fire attack must be very easy to use.
But no matter how easy the Fire Talisman is to use, can it still be more effective than plowing with cannonballs?
If the incendiary bomb is pushed once, the effect will definitely be better than the fire talisman, and the coverage will be wider.
But can that really kill the mysterious tree?
This is what Jiang Yue is worried about.
What makes Jiang Yue even more depressed is that these giant trees clearly feel that they are living beings with independent consciousness, but Jiang Yue's borrowing skills are not used at all.
In other words, these giant trees have no vision at all!
This undoubtedly deepened Jiang Yue's understanding of them.
Since the giant trees do not rely on sight, apart from the borrowing skills, Jiang Yue's stealth skills are basically useless here.
These are two very practical skills that Jiang Yue uses to defeat his enemies.
As for the skills that can be copied into others, naturally there is no need for them at all. The situation he faced this time was not dealing with people at all.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue was a little envious of the eighth master Yu Renying's awakening skills.
If Renying's skill could be copied, his body would turn into a gust of wind and disappear directly in the void.
Maybe he can really easily blend into the jungle of giant trees.
Unfortunately, this copying skill requires killing the enemy, and the probability is only 30%.
Moreover, distant water cannot quench near thirst.
Skill?
Jiang Yue's eyes suddenly lit up. Speaking of skills, the earth attribute skills he got from the tyrant might be useful!
Breaking through from the ground is obviously unrealistic, but what about sneaking in from deep underground?
Jiang Yue thought of this, calmly thought for a moment, and felt more and more that this approach was feasible.
Tyrant's earth attribute skills are indeed not what he is boasting about.
The reason why he has such terrifying strength and is far ahead among the awakened people is not because of his cruel temperament, but also because of his absolutely suppressive strength.
This earth attribute skill includes the manipulation of earth attribute materials, earth movement, wall penetration, etc.
Having these skills as a foundation is what gives Jiang Yue the confidence to believe that this approach is feasible.
The earth escape technique in myths and legends can shrink the ground to an inch and travel hundreds of miles in seconds.
Obviously, this is a bit of an exaggeration.
The earth-moving technique that Jiang Yue copied from the tyrant could only ensure that he could move freely underground. The hard earth was like air and could not bring him any resistance. Instead, it made him like a fish swimming in the water.
With ease.
At first, Jiang Yue was a little uncomfortable with it, but after getting familiar with it for a while, Jiang Yue skillfully controlled his body shape and mastered the ground technique.
Although it was not as magical as the legendary earth escape technique, it still surprised Jiang Yue.
The most important thing is that Jiang Yue was used to seeing and hearing the surface world. When he first entered the underground world, he found that what he saw with his naked eyes was really different from what he imagined.
Especially in such deep soil, with Jiang Yue's eyesight, he could really see every detail.
However, Jiang Yue was obviously not in the mood to enjoy the underground scenery at the moment.
Because, based on his position judgment, he knew that he was infinitely close to that area.
You know, Jiang Yue was now fifteen to twenty meters deep into the ground.
He did this not without reason.
Because those giant trees were so tall, Jiang Yue guessed that their roots were not short, and were estimated to be at least ten meters deep underground.
However, he soon discovered that he had underestimated the extent of the roots of these giant trees.
In the area below fifteen meters, you can still feel the giant tree roots from a distance like exaggerated pythons, spreading with claws and claws in the ground. The roots are intertwined and dense, and they look like countless pythons twisted together.
Move and appear extremely active.
Such a strange scene further confirmed Jiang Yue's previous guess.
Originally, plants are relatively static life forms. Unless they are pushed by external forces, they are basically impossible to be that active.
At the moment, the roots of these giant trees are obviously extremely active.
That's not the weirdest thing. Although these roots vary in thickness, they are all a weird flesh color, just like the tentacles of many monsters in science fiction movies, full of elasticity and tenacity.
These are not the roots that a plant should have. They are clearly like spiritual creatures with flesh and blood.
Seeing the roots that are densely packed, like a giant network, they are so intertwined that they look like a huge formation with no flaws at all.
Jiang Yue couldn't help but shook his head secretly.
If you rush from this position, there is no difference from rushing from the ground.
With these countless tentacles, even if the giant Jiang Yue fought against before rushed towards him, he would definitely kill someone.
Just one or two tentacles, how many more than hundreds of intricate tentacles?
Any creature that bumps into it will definitely be entangled without any accident. Once entangled by these tentacles, they will be wrapped layer by layer, and the flesh and blood can be twisted into meat patties.
Especially the main roots closer to the central trunk area, Jiang Yue visually estimated that they were several times thicker than the bucket. Once strangled, even a giant would be unable to struggle.
What shocked Jiang Yue was that on the surface of the main roots, there was a layer of transparent membrane, like a layer of afterbirth, which wrapped the main tissue of the roots. Some human stumps could be faintly seen.
Skeletons...
Jiang Yue only felt waves of numbness in his scalp, and he couldn't help but have some bad associations.
Could it be that all the survivors from the surrounding communities were led here, swallowed up by these giant trees, and became fertilizer for the giant trees?
Otherwise, no matter what happens to the roots of the plant, it is impossible to grow such weird fleshy tentacles.
Even so, Jiang Yue knew very well that these giant trees with well-developed roots were definitely not the ones he was looking for.
And he was more certain than ever that the tree in Tong Feifei's dream must be nearby, and must be protected by these giant trees.
Be sure to seek it out!
Jiang Yue continued to go deeper, trying his best to avoid these terrifying and exaggerated root tentacles.
Even if the residents of the surrounding communities were led here and swallowed by these giant trees, now was definitely not the time for Jiang Yue to seek justice for them.
There are more important things waiting for him to do.
When the area was nearly thirty meters deep, those active roots reached the bottom. But even though there were several meters of space, Jiang Yue could still feel the activity of those roots above these few meters, stirring the area.
The soil is crawling in a strange manner.
Fortunately, the Wuzhou Park area is relatively flat, and there are no rocks dozens of meters underground. Otherwise, Jiang Yue's activities would be even more difficult.
However, Jiang Yue's vision would inevitably be affected by going deep underground. This undoubtedly made it extremely difficult for him to detect the specific location of the tree.
At present, Jiang Yue can only rely on his judgment of the direction to try to prevent himself from wandering outside this core area.
This would ensure that they would not be entangled by those giant trees, but it would also make the search more difficult.
Hard work pays off.
Jiang Yue, who was swimming, soon sensed something abnormal.
When he cruised to a certain location, he clearly felt that the surrounding soil had become extremely active. This abnormality did not come from the soil itself, but was caused by external factors.
Then, Jiang Yue discovered that the force causing the surrounding soil to become active actually extended in all directions, like a complex spider web.
As Jiang Yue got closer, he felt more and more that this power was so pure, so pure, and it was also the kind of aura that Jiang Yue was very familiar with.
Jiang Yue quickly thought of the old banyan tree at Yangfan Middle School.
At that time, the old banyan tree mentioned the tree in Tong Feifei's dream. At the same time, he emphasized that the tree was trying to cover its autonomous spiritual consciousness and replace its thinking. The ultimate goal was to seize its source of life.
Everything that happened later proved that the old banyan tree's guess was right.
In the confrontation with this strange tree, the old banyan tree was finally defeated without any suspense, and the source of life was stolen.
Jiang Yue was also at the scene to witness it, and felt that the source of life of the old banyan tree was passing away.
It was at that time that Tong Feifei had the opportunity to peek into the location of this strange tree through the process of the source of life being taken away from the old banyan tree.
And because of this, Jiang Yue was able to follow the map and find this area.
The pure power that Jiang Yue felt now was so familiar, wasn't it the source of life?
Although this source of life does not belong to the old banyan tree in Yangfan Middle School, this familiar scent is exactly the same as the old banyan tree.
It's just that tonight's strange tree is captured from other plants with spiritual consciousness and spiritual power.
As for plants that have awakened their spiritual consciousness, their source of life is ultimately the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon that has accumulated over many years.
What surprised Jiang Yue was that this overbearing and strange tree did not target only one spiritual seed at a time, but absorbed the life source of a large number of spiritual seeds on a large scale.
This strange tree is like a general hub, seizing the life source of spiritual species from all directions.
This speed of seizing will inevitably cause this strange tree to grow rapidly.
As Jiang Yue got closer, the spiritual energy network intertwined in all directions became more and more breathy, criss-crossing, like complex meridians and blood vessels, continuously absorbing the source of life from everywhere.
At this time, Jiang Yue also saw clearly that during the transmission process, the source of life was pure and flawless green, crystal clear, making people feel comfortable and happy just looking at it.
This is the true essence of life.
Each vein represents a spiritual seed like an old banyan tree, an intelligent life with absolutely independent spiritual consciousness!
But now, these intelligent beings have become victims of this strange tree, filling its abyss-like greedy desires.
