The core of the Ghostly Sinking Tree is just above the bottom of the root system that touches the deep sea.
The further up you go, the more and more shining sunken suns seem to appear, and Yu Fengchen and Yu Xing shuttle through the dense branches for a while. The place they finally arrived at happened to be wrapped by several sunken suns, forming a
A small bright space.
The lighting ability of the Silent Sun is terrifying. In the past, the entire underground city relied on the Sunken Sun during the day, so it was able to brighten the airtight dark underground. Yu Xing was relatively foreseeable.
But when he really saw the scene at the core of the Ghost Chenshu, he still fell into silence.
To be honest, it's shocking.
The faint fluorescence looks like blue or green, but it is most like nothing white. In short, it is difficult to describe. With human vocabulary and knowledge, it is probably impossible to find an accurate word to describe it.
This space called "core" is large, like a small auditorium.
The empty space seemed to have been specially set aside. The branches formed a flat floor under the feet. Above were the shiny fruits. Resentful human faces were embedded in the fruits, as if they were staring from above.
.
And all of this is wrapped in waves of billowing black mist. The black mist has almost condensed into substance. In the light of the fruit, the mist is more like reaching an agreement with the light. Half of it is penetrated by the light, and the other half is penetrated by the light.
Creates a shadow of its own.
This kind of light and shadow effect is changing and tumbling all the time, full of indescribable weirdness, but also a bit of a beautiful dreamy feeling.
It's airtight, but the wind blows.
It's deserted, but full of resentment.
"This is it." The small branches used to cover the body followed Yu Fengchen, and Yu Xing was brought to the center of this space.
Yu Xing withdrew his gaze and muttered: "Aren't we just the two of you here? Why are you so concerned about your image?"
Along the way, he was annoyed to death by these thin branches, because although Yu Fengchen was controlling them, the branches were ruthless and would always accidentally scratch his clothes and skin, leaving deep or shallow marks.
bloodstains.
The deepest spot was on the arm. It was caused by a sharp branch with spikes. The wound was so deep that it penetrated the bones. The branch disappeared with his blood in satisfaction, and Yu Xing watched the white bones sink into it.
Meditated.
Could it be that Yu Fengchen is so petty and has started to deliberately mess with him?
Or maybe Yu Fengchen knew that the opportunity to be so powerful as him was rare, so before he started to absorb nutrients, he got addicted to manipulating branches to hurt him.
Although he won't die, isn't this process similar to Ling Chi's?
Yu Fengchen also noticed the wounds all over Yu Xing's body and coughed lightly.
"I can't help this matter. Do you think my clothes were gone when I came down? They were worn away by these branches."
Yu Xing glanced at him sideways, with a look of distrust on his face.
"This is not the point. Did you see 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 right on the ground, there is a pit about two people wide. The black mist in the pit is so thick that it is like a liquid. It is almost unnecessary to specifically sense it. There used to be very many things here.
The fact of terrifying and huge energy naturally appeared in the minds of the two of them.
"You took out the wood core." Yu Xing used an affirmative sentence.
"The wood core is actually the core of the Ghost Chenshu, which is equivalent to the soul of such a huge tree, and also represents its wisdom and thinking ability." Yu Fengchen explained, "All the subjective thoughts of the Ghost Chenshu are this wood core.
Only by removing the core will the remaining energy become ownerless and can be absorbed."
"But there should be other uses for removing the wood core. I remember you said that your body is made of wood core. With the fusion of your soul, the wood core turned into a human body." Yu Xing thought thoughtfully,
"Do you need the wooden core more than a curse?"
Yu Fengchen: "It's really easy to see through communication with you."
"Yes, I need Mu Xin to lift some of the seals that Aunt Sharon set on me. Because the power of Ghost Chenshu is too great, my soul could not be integrated well before, so Aunt Sharon used Mu Xin's own seal
Those abilities are sealed, and I can only unlock them bit by bit."
"But there is still a source of strength growth along the way. As promised in advance, the curses you are about to absorb will not be digested in a month or two." Yu Fengchen elegantly pointed to the energy dissipating around him, but Yu Xing was from it.
I can see the smell of pointing fingers.
"And I've only been down for three days." Yu Fengchen made a three with his hand, "During the three days, I was also responsible for transferring most of the curses in the wood core to the surrounding branches. In other words, I only absorbed
Curse for a moment.”
He pointed at himself again. On his pale skin, well-proportioned muscles covered the bones, while strange and beautiful black lines wrapped around the skin: "This is the result of a little curse. You can imagine how big I left you."
a part of nourishment.”
Yu Xing pondered, looking at Yu Fengchen's upper body, and then at the pit that originally belonged to the wooden core.
It seems that this power is quite outrageous. Although he knows that Yu Fengchen's ability to absorb and transform curses is definitely much stronger than him, a guy who has reformed halfway, the total amount left for him is too much.
Yu Fengchen said that a month or two might be to give him face, otherwise what he should say is that it would be impossible for these cursed powers not to burst him ten or eight times.
"A month or two." Yu Xing touched his chin, "It doesn't matter if I'm here. What about the people on the ground? The activities will be over in a month or two. Didn't you mean that you saw it when you were on the Island of Death?
Pass me?"
"How did I get up in time?"
Yu Fengchen's expression seemed to be somewhat clear: "It's okay, maybe I misunderstood."
Yu Xing: "?"
Yu Fengchen: "What I saw at that time was a little strange. Anyway, I saw you in a hurry and didn't distinguish it carefully. Now that I think about it, I saw you in a hurry and the clothes you were wearing didn't look like something you could get on Dead Island.
Yes, it seems like you just came here in a hurry to destroy the island and then left."
"Maybe that's you from another timeline who came here to help."
Yu Xing: "...it's possible, but..."
It seems like this is the only possibility.
But since when did they become so calmly accepting of themselves appearing in the same place in different time and space?
Once the time is wrong, everything else will become more and more confusing the more you think about it.
"No buts, please stay here, I'll leave first." Yu Fengchen was a little worried about Jiang Jileng's situation.
Seeing what Yu Xing wanted to say, he immediately cut it off: "This is a buffet. You can take what you want. There are no waiters."
After saying that, the waiter was pulled by the branches and disappeared into the overlapping branches.
