At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Ji walked silently in the twilight jungle thorns.
Wherever he walked, no matter whether it was mosquitoes or snakes and rats, they all retreated.
His feet stepped on fallen leaves and rot, surprisingly making no sound.
Not even the slightest vibration.
Just walk like this until you get out of the woods.
Ahead is the rushing Khmer River!
The moonlight is beautiful tonight, the pure white moonlight shines on the river, making waves sparkle.
However, such a beautiful night is not peaceful.
On the other side of the river, tracer bullets cut through the night, intertwining barrages in the sky.
The machine gun on the pickup truck was firing loudly into the depths of the woods.
Multiple artillery guns fired continuously, suppressing the firepower points in the woods.
This is the seventh battle Xu Ji has encountered tonight.
It's no longer strange.
So, Xu Ji just shook his head and continued on his way.
He casually broke off a branch, threw it into the Khmer River, and then stepped lightly on the branch.
Just like the legendary Bodhidharma crossing the river with a reed, he stepped on the branches and crossed the river silently.
Arriving on the other side, Xu Ji escaped into an economic forest on the river beach.
Then go around the flank of the battlefield.
On the way, he saw several people who had been beaten to death in the bushes.
These dead men were all wearing military uniforms and were obviously armed by local warlords.
Their corpses were hit by large-caliber bullets and artillery shells, and were torn apart. It was too horrible to look at!
Xu Ji shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, he cut down the bushes to prevent their remains from being exposed in the wilderness.
But no matter how much Xu Ji does, it will be difficult.
Because Xu Ji didn't know much about these people's religious beliefs and customs.
If someone's original tradition was cremation, water burial or even sky burial, but Xu Ji dug a hole and buried it, wouldn't it be blasphemy?
Bypassing the battlefield, Xu Ji continued to move forward.
Slowly, there was no more smoke and noise ahead, and all fighting and fighting began to disappear.
Then Xu Ji knew that he had reached the territory of the ghost tree.
Monsters, ghosts and trees all have a strong sense of territory.
According to Guiling's information, they will attack all creatures that enter their territory indiscriminately.
Therefore, within a radius of hundreds of miles around each ghost tree, it is rare to see even a mosquito!
…
The door to the underground hangar was slowly opened by the electric switch.
The ordnance sealed here comes into view.
The two officers, who had already reaped the benefits, said to Fujino with a smile: "Sir, you can choose whatever you want here!"
Fujino nodded, and then thanked Vincent who accompanied him: "Thanks to you this time!"
"You're welcome!" Vincent maintained his reserve as a superior.
Fujino walked into the hangar and looked at these sealed fighters covered by canvas.
There are twelve in total, with the toughness and recklessness of the last century.
These twelve Warthogs, even today, are still extremely terrifying can openers on the battlefield.
The machine guns they are equipped with are enough to shred the top armor of any tank in service.
The only problem is that they are too old.
It has been sealed for so many years, and its usability is worrying.
However, it doesn't matter.
As long as you have money, anything can be solved!
Fujino looked behind him and said to a strong man following him: "Mr. Mark, I'll leave it to you here!"
This is the fighter maintenance and modification expert he hired with a high salary.
The strong man named Mark took off his sunglasses and nodded: "Leave it all to me!"
He put on his gloves and called his team to come in: "Mr. Fujita, at least three of these planes will be ready to take off tomorrow morning!"
"You only need to prepare the pilot, fuel, and ammunition..."
Fujino said happily: "These are all ready!"
"As long as you can repair them and ensure that they can take off for combat, then everything is not a problem!"
The flag country’s retired fighter pilots employ at least a hundred at Fujita Industries!
Two dozen of them hold warthog flight records.
Fujita Industries also employs many related ground staff.
The canvas began to be lifted off, revealing the fighter planes stored in the hangar.
Fujino's eyes were immediately attracted by the seven-barreled Gatling cannon installed under the bellies of these fighter planes.
Even though they have been sealed for decades, due to timely maintenance, these cannons, at least from the outside, still shine with a cold light.
Looking at them, Fujino's eyes finally showed the light of hope.
With them...as long as they are with them...the success probability of Sakura Project can be increased by at least 50%!
Fujino couldn't help but shudder!
…
A heavy truck ran over a bridge on the Siam border.
Kru Yin answered the phone and listened to the report on the phone while driving a heavy truck calmly on the dirt road in the rugged area.
"Very good!" He said softly: "Give them all the help you can!"
"In addition!" He emphasized: "Be careful and provide them with intelligence services!"
"I don't want any news of this Japanese action to reach Thomas's ears!"
After saying that, Kru Yin hung up the call, his eyes gradually filled with murderous intent.
Those old diehards in the local area have gone crazy now.
Because Li Xiaofeng got hard in the afternoon after receiving treatment from that ‘immortal’!
The old men are collectively going crazy!
Because, before this, one of the side effects of taking Yaogui's medicine was ED!
It is impossible to find out the cause, nor to know the principle.
Almost half of the people develop irreversible ED after taking demonic life-extending drugs.
Moreover, the more times you take medication, the higher the probability of ED!
This has always been an unspeakable pain point for those old guys.
Now, after less than an hour of treatment, Li Xiaofeng no longer has ED.
Where can old men sit still?
As a result, the words on the phone to him became more and more impatient.
The warnings gradually escalated, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger and stronger!
The patience of the old men is losing.
Kru Yin understands that this is something he must face!
"I must come up with means as soon as possible!" He told himself: "I don't have much time!"
If Li Xiaofeng's physical condition continues to improve, a 'miracle' may even occur.
Well, Kruyin knew that the old men would not give him any chance again!
They will ensure each other's absolute safety at all costs.
He even did not hesitate to use all his strength for that 'immortal'.
Including directly killing himself, this possible threat!
This is the old man!
People who are already old and half-footed in the coffin will sell everything in order to survive and to be healthy!
But it is precisely because of this that Kru Yin's determination is extremely firm!
Because he knows that as long as he succeeds.
Then, the old men will also crawl at his feet.
The entire Blue Star will become his private confinement.
From then on, no one could stop him.
He can do whatever he wants.
He can mobilize all the power and resources of the entire planet to serve him.
"Immortal?" Kru Yin turned to look at the car behind him.
"Then let's take a look, are the 'immortals' from the East more powerful, or the 'saints' who have been gifted by 'gods' and have the power given by 'gods'?"
Baldwin IV has a title: Saint.
This is both a symbol of his status and an explanation of the source of his strength.
…
Xu Ji passed through a river bend with rugged rocks, and the canyon where the Naga ghost tree came into view.
Xu Ji quietly lurked into a bush and looked into the canyon.
It's not obvious from a helicopter during the day.
Now that we have a closer look, the weirdness and gloominess of this canyon are fully exposed.
Xu Ji's eyes were slowly filled with golden sun flames.
Under the eyes of Dharma, everything in this canyon is exposed.
From Xu Ji's perspective, this seemingly calm and quiet canyon, with only a hundred zombie-like corpses wandering under the Naga ghost tree, is actually extremely noisy.
Thousands of 'ghosts' were constantly shuttling around the ghost tree.
These 'ghosts' are very, very small.
It was only about twice the size of the suspected 'demon larvae' that Xu Ji pulled out from Li Xiaofeng's body in the morning.
It can be clearly seen that these 'ghosts' are regularly rotating around the trunk of the ghost tree.
Soon Xu Ji discovered why these 'ghosts' were spinning like this?
Because, the leaves of this 'Naga Ghost Tree' seem to be secreting a milky white liquid.
As soon as these liquids are secreted, they immediately vaporize and turn into a little bit of milky white debris.
The 'ghosts' are like fish, fighting for these scraps.
"So..." Xu Ji thought: "This 'Naga Ghost Tree' is actually a donor?"
He quietly took out the bottle containing the 'demon larvae' extracted from Li Xiaofeng's body from his pocket.
He tried to carefully open a corner of the bottle cap.
The sealed cub immediately reacted violently.
It seems to be extremely eager to get close to the ghost tree!
Just like a starving child who wants his mother's milk!
Xu Ji immediately capped the bottle, and the cub in the bottle calmed down.
"So, it shouldn't be called a ghost tree!" Xu Ji stared at the towering giant tree: "It should be a mother tree!"
"The mother tree that nurtures monsters and gives birth to monsters!"
He remembered the introduction in Guiling's information.
According to research and analysis from Blue Star countries, demons and ghosts generally appear irregularly.
However, in areas with ghost trees and their vicinity, the probability of ghosts appearing is much higher than in places without ghost trees!
Therefore, all countries are strictly guarding against the ghost trees in their territory.
Found and destroyed!
However, many major countries not only do not eliminate the ghost trees growing outside their own borders, but also obstruct organizations or people who want to eradicate these ghost trees.
They even repeatedly threatened with sanctions.
This is also the reason why this Naga ghost tree can survive to this day.
Weak Siam and Khmer did not dare to risk being sanctioned, so they invited forces from the Central Plains to help them deal with this ghost tree.
But why is the probability of ghosts appearing around the ghost tree greatly increased?
People are undecided.
Because there is no evidence at all!
Now, Xu Ji knows that the little monsters and ghosts may have grown up relying on the nourishment of the ghost tree.
But the question is: what did the little monster evolve from?
This secret may also be hidden in the ghost tree.
Xu Ji turned his gaze and looked under the tree canopy.
He saw a more spectacular sight than on the helicopter during the day!
Countless mycelium sprouted from the soil around the ghost tree.
Just like a coral, it opens its thin snout to accept the debris falling from the tree crown that has not been eaten by the little monsters.
Seeing this, Xu Ji had a question in his mind: "Where does the milky white liquid secreted by the leaves come from?"
Blue Star is a material world.
Although demons and ghosts do not need to obey any physical laws.
But there is one thing they should not be able to defy: conservation of energy!
In other words, there must be some kind of energy source that can allow this ghost tree to continuously obtain nutrients.
So, here comes the problem.
What does the ghost tree feed on?
Xu Ji remembered some research on demons and ghosts that Guiling had given him.
According to research, demons and ghosts mainly feed on humans.
Humans seem to be a great complement to them.
However, what they eat is not flesh and blood in the physical sense.
According to research, most victims of ghost attacks usually leave their bodies intact.
In only a few cases, there is evidence that the victim's body was eaten.
According to research, most of the demons encountered by the victims in these cases were in human form.
According to speculation, they only eat the flesh and blood of their victims, mostly to maintain their parasitic bodies.
Therefore, experts have long suspected that demons feed on human souls!
However, no one can find evidence of the existence of the soul.
This speculation can only be speculation.
"So, does the ghost tree also feed on human souls?" Xu Ji thought.
But the problem is that ghost trees are basically immobile.
Just like this Naga ghost tree in this canyon, it has basically not moved in twenty years.
Its impact and coverage are also limited.
How to hunt a ghost tree that cannot be moved?
"It is estimated that only if the old god comes, knocks down this ghost tree, and digs out its roots, can this secret be known!" Xu Ji said softly.
The ground part of the ghost tree is just a growth. Even if it is blown to pieces or burned, it can take as little as a month or as long as a year for an identical ghost tree to grow in its place.
Its real core and main body are hundreds of meters underground.
This was discovered after various countries bombed demons and ghosts. It is also the only knowledge that Blue Star humans have about ghost trees so far.
When Xu Ji said this, suddenly, there was movement at the entrance on the other side of the canyon.
Xu Ji immediately looked over and saw two ragged figures walking in slowly, dragging several corpses dullly.
Xu Ji could tell the difference with just one glance.
They are monsters!
Humanoid demon!
As for the corpse they dragged in, after a closer look, they found that it was not a corpse, but several things that looked like corpses.
The evidence is that when Xu Ji closed his eyes, all he saw were two demons walking aimlessly towards the ghost tree, with nothing behind them!
Xu Ji looked at the behavior of the two demons and suddenly had a strange idea in his mind.
"Worker bee!"
"They're worker bees!"
Xu Ji swallowed and looked at the ghosts under the ghost tree, the mycelium on the ground and the ghosts all over the canyon.
Everything seems to have suddenly become clear.
This is a true social ecology with a honeycomb structure.
The ghost tree acts like a beehive.
The monsters in the canyon are soldiers and bees!
The ghost is a bug bee.
So where is the queen bee?
Xu Ji looked towards the ground.
But what the hell are those hyphae crawling out from the ground?
Everything in the hive system performs its duties.
What does the existence of these hyphae mean?
Xu Ji quietly watched the behavior of the two humanoid monsters.
Watch them slowly dragging the 'body' to the ghost tree.
As soon as the corpse was dragged near the ghost tree, the fungi immediately wrapped around it like crazy.
At this moment, Xu Ji saw the mycelium burrowing into the body of the 'corpse'. These corpses, which were originally the same as the 'dead', immediately began to struggle violently, as if they were alive.
But soon all the struggle fell into silence.
There was nothing left on the ground, only the hyphae still wriggling irregularly.
"No...no!" When Xu Ji saw this, a light flashed in his mind.
In the mythical world, the demon bees of China are not structured like this.
In the hives of the Golden Ring Monkey King and the Wasp Monkey King, after the worker bees go out to hunt, they will immediately feed the food they bring back to the young bees!
But in this canyon, the corpses brought back by the demons were fed on those mycelium.
Therefore, the ghost tree in this canyon and the ecology built around it are not a hive ecology!
But...
Ant colony ecology!
To be precise, it should be an ecology similar to termites!
The ghost tree is like a huge ant nest.
The demons are ants!
Mycelium is a symbiosis with ant colonies, similar to the fungi in termite nests that specialize in decomposing wood!
Then here comes the problem.
Who taught these monsters and ghosts to build such an ecosystem?
Monsters are by no means a true social form like termites.
The information provided by relevant parties has clearly proved this!
Those wandering demons never show any social behavior.
Some demons and ghosts will even devour and kill each other.
Therefore, the demons and ghosts under the ghost tree show such a form.
Not quite like termites.
On the contrary, it is like the behavior of being parasitized by a parasitic wasp.
Xu Ji watched, observed and thought.
None of this seems like natural behavior.
Full of strong human traces!
In addition, the old god paid unusual attention to the "ghost tree".
Xu Ji had to consider a possibility.
"Could all this be designed by someone a long time ago?"
"The so-called 'ghosts' are actually designed and created by someone to serve these ghost trees?"
"If this is the case..."
"What was that person's purpose in creating the ghost tree?"
Xu Ji fell into deep thought.
No one would put so much effort into creating such a complex system for no reason, just for entertainment or other boring things.
He must have something up his sleeve!
But what is he planning?
Xu Ji thought of the demon cub that he had found during the day when he gave Li Xiaofeng physical therapy and discovered all kinds of things in its meridians and acupuncture points.
According to Li Xiaofeng, in places where demons and ghosts are entrenched, some magical companion creatures can often be found.
Can treat cancer, Alzheimer's disease, az, stroke...
Almost all human diseases can be cured!
Although there are some side effects, its effectiveness is unquestionable.
Xu Ji also thought about the fact that when he eliminated the giant hybrid demon, all the things he found from the place where it was entrenched were eventually used by the old god and became the raw materials for his foundation-building elixir.
"Will..."
"Is there a possibility..."
"A long time ago, there was a person who wanted to practice, but Blue Star didn't have spiritual energy..."
"He uses this method to create spiritual energy out of thin air!"
Thinking of this, Xu Ji shook his head: "How is this possible?"
"Even if humans on Blue Star want to practice cultivation, where can they go to obtain this knowledge?"
However, the presence of the old god made Xu Ji stunned.
If Blue Star doesn’t have it, the Mythical World may not have it.
If he is a visitor from the mythical world, and he is an immortal figure of high status.
For example, people like Jin Xian and Da Luo also came to Blue Star like the old gods.
But unlike the old gods, he can be transformed back.
He is trapped on Blue Star.
Like a fish leaving water and coming to land.
According to historical records, two thousand years ago, there were no demons or martial arts masters in Blue Star.
Everything is normal.
But starting from a certain point in time two thousand years ago, demons and ghosts suddenly appeared, and martial arts appeared.
In other words, there was a giant from the mythical world on Blue Star two thousand years ago?
In order to be able to practice, he created a ghost tree?
And then use the ghost tree to produce spiritual energy or something similar to spiritual energy to assist in cultivation?
If such a character really existed.
Where is he now?
Are you still at Blue Star?
Or already dead?
Xu Ji didn't know and couldn't guess.
He could only write down these questions, plan to find a place, record them on his mobile phone, and then wait for the old god to answer them.
…
The road ahead can no longer accommodate large trucks.
Kruyin stopped the car and took out the key.
Jump out of the cab, then walk to the back of the car and open the door.
Inside is an ultra-low temperature cold storage. In the crystal coffin in the cold storage, the king's body is soaked in mercury and seems to be feeling alive.
The ice on his body began to melt and he began to revive again.
Kru Yin looked at the corpse in the crystal coffin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be so anxious!"
"Like you, I am the chosen one who has been gifted by God!"
"It's just that you can't find Yin Tian Garden, nor can you alleviate the deterioration of your body. You can only seal yourself after death!"
"But I'm different!"
"I have the power of science and can find solutions through constant experiments!"
"Look!" Kruyin said, his face began to distort, mycelium came out of the skin, and his mouth began to deform and twist.
The tongue wriggles like a snake without forks, or like an octopus tentacle in the deep sea.
hiss!
A low roar came from his vocal cords.
His two hands were also twisted and deformed, turning into two deformed giant hands covered with sarcoma.
There seemed to be eyes in the exposed sarcomas on the arms, looking in all directions.
His chest also swelled violently.
The body size suddenly increased by more than three times at this moment!
"You see, I can already switch between 'angel' and 'mortal'!"
"Of course, you may not be able to understand me anymore!"
"But I believe that if you were alive, you would definitely cheer for me!"
He lowered his head and looked at the tumors appearing all over his body.
These tumors are essentially hyphae.
Something found from the core of the ghost tree!
When Kru Yin transplanted this thing into his body through secret methods and symbiotically with himself, he had the ability to devour demons and ghosts and seize the power of demons and ghosts for his own use!
In this form, he is almost invincible.
Even if you are hit by a 155-caliber artillery shell at close range, you will not be injured!
The only thing he fears is one thing.
Nuclear bomb!
However, Kru Yin understands that everything he has now is only based on illusion.
He still has huge shortcomings.
His 'angel' form is also hugely different from the legendary 'angels'.
In addition to having more eyes, the body is more deformed.
He has almost nothing in common with angels.
He must find Yin Tianyuan!
Yin Tian Garden hides the ultimate secret!
This is also the legend recorded in the tomb of Baldwin IV.
This king spent his whole life looking for Yin Tian Garden.
It's a pity that he was never found until his death.
I can only die with regrets.
But Kruyin was confident that he would be able to find it.
Because times have changed, satellites are scanning every corner of Blue Star day and night.
Includes the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps.
As long as there is enough time, as long as Yin Tian Garden still exists in Blue Star.
Kru Yin believed that he would be able to find it!
Even if you can't find it, it doesn't seem to matter.
That ‘immortal’!
Characters from Eastern mythology!
He must have 'god'-like powers and secrets!
Find him, catch him!
Kru Yin roared and completely dismantled the entire truck compartment.
