Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

Chapter 37 The ambition to become the World Tree

The canopy of trees that blocked out the sun swayed.

The branches of the terrifying tree looked like wandering pythons, all pointing at Wu Ren.

The next moment, the branches rushed towards Wu Ren very fast.

No!

Wu Ren's pupils shrank and he ran away crazily.

At the same time, he activated all the puppets in his hands, trying to buy time to escape.

But soon, he discovered a desperate fact.

There is not enough energy.

Activating the puppets requires energy, and his existing energy can only activate a few puppets.

This is just a drop in the bucket.

The tree branches swept in the most arrogant and violent manner, sweeping away all the puppets blocking the road.

A branch entangled Wu Ren.

Immediately afterwards, countless branches snaked their way.

The branches closed tightly, wrapping Wu Ren among them.

Black air filled the branches, and a strange sucking sound came from the air.

After a while, the strange changes disappeared.

The branches shrank back one after another.

But Wu Ren has completely disappeared.

As the source of devouring ability, the main body possesses the abilities of all cards.

And it has an energy reserve that far exceeds the one-star level limit.

In a sense, he is equivalent to a living card library!

Without the ability to use cards at all, Zhu Zheng relied only on his violent power to easily crush Wu Ren, who was also a star.

After devouring Wu Ren, Zhu Zheng felt a sense of fullness.

At the same time, the big tree gave off a faint luster.

Has the blood concentration reached the limit?

Zhu Zheng's heart moved and he opened the properties panel.

Sure enough, the blood concentration column clearly showed 100%.

[You trigger a special event: World Tree. 】

[Location: Dahuang. 】

[You have acquired the ancient inheritance and have the potential to grow into a world tree. You can advance to the world tree by swallowing the four major sacred trees in the world. Each time you swallow a sacred tree, you will unlock part of the power of the world tree. 】

[Requirement: Devour four sacred trees of heaven and earth before Dayu finishes controlling the floods. 】

[Explanation: Through the induction of the breath of heaven and earth, you are aware of the location of the four sacred trees, and you can currently choose the target. 】

【①. Jianmu (the wilderness of Duguang, the spiritual hub of heaven and earth, the tree that reaches the sky). 】

【②. Fusang (in the Tang Valley, it only arrives in one day and leaves in one day, all of which are contained in the crow). 】

【③. Ruomu (Beyond the South China Sea, between the black water and the green water, there is a tree named Ruomu). 】

【④.Xunmu (Xunxunmu, born by the river, with branches sparsely spread thousands of miles, reaching up to the sky). 】

[Improvement: Completing special events can increase game clearance rewards. 】

Zhu Zheng's eyes flashed.

Based on the information found in reality and the information obtained through devouring, he recognized the identities of these four sacred trees.

They are all sacred trees with mysterious histories and backgrounds.

The tree's growth direction turns out to be the World Tree, but it needs to swallow four sacred trees.

Every time I swallow a sacred tree, I can unlock part of the power of the world tree and increase my bloodline. Oh, to put it bluntly, I can increase my level.

Zhu Zheng understood in his own way.

His eyes scanned the four options.

Jianmu was excluded first.

Jianmu is known as the spiritual hub of heaven and earth, the tree reaching the sky, growing in the core of the Central Plains.

Next to Jianmu is the tribe of the Great Wilderness Human Emperor.

Swallowing the building wood will cause a lot of noise, and there are too many unknown factors, so give up.

As for the other three sacred trees, in fact, it is almost the same for Zhu Zheng to choose which one.

Anyway, it will be devoured in the end.

He shook the branches and leaves on his body and thought to himself: Fusang grows in the Tang Valley in the east, Ruomu grows in the wilderness of the West, and Xunmu grows in the north.

This is Gun's first year of flood control. He should still be near Beiyue.

Zhu Zheng's heart moved.

In the last experience option, he deliberately avoided Beiyue to avoid being involved in the flood control incident.

But this time the goal was to devour the sacred tree Xun Mu. He could just pass by Beiyue and check on Gun's flood control situation.

So Zhu Zheng chose Xunmu as the target to devour.

[You follow the breath of heaven and earth and lock the location of Xunmu. In two days, there will be a suitable flood wind that will take you to the north. 】

Then the goal this time is to find wood.

Zhu Zheng looked towards the edge of the island.

No problem, leave everything to me.

The same voice said, but it came from the mouth of the paper man Zhu Zheng.

When the battle begins, the paper man Zhu Zheng hides under the water with the protection of the water droplets.

It wasn't until the battle was over that he climbed out of the water.

The paper man Zhu Zheng did not hesitate and remade a canoe.

Three days later, the north wind came.

The paper man Zhu Zheng is holding a rain stick and starting a new journey.

Zhu Zheng met Gun.

Gun at this time was still middle-aged.

He has a resolute face and acts calmly and wisely. He leads the clan's children and the capable people and strangers who have taken refuge in him, and officially embarks on the road to fight against the flood.

Gun's strategy for controlling floods was to block floods.

It was still raining heavily in the sky, causing all the twenty-three main rivers in the northern part of the wilderness to overflow. The low-lying areas of the plains became marshes, and only the hills and mountains were still exposed above the water.

Gun used the blocking method.

He moved the people to higher ground and built dikes along the river to keep out the flood.

Gun holds a basin of earthy yellow soil.

Oddly enough, this kind of soil is mixed in when building embankments, and the embankments will grow automatically as the water level rises.

People around me asked curiously: Sir, what is this?

Gun said with a smile: This is a god-given thing called Xi soil. It can grow and expand infinitely on its own, and it can be used to block floods.

Everyone was amazed.

However, here, as soon as the flood was blocked, several water beasts emerged from the water.

The water beasts are frantically destroying the dikes.

Gun's capable men and strangers stepped forward and worked together to kill these water beasts.

With united efforts, the floods in the north were suppressed.

Zhu Zheng looked up at the sky.

The rain was heavy and had no intention of stopping.

He felt a little worried.

“If it rains continuously, we cannot fundamentally control floods.”

How long has it been raining in the wilderness, and when did it stop?

However, there is no answer to this thought.

Zhu Zheng glanced at Gun again, then left Beiyue and embarked on the road to find Xunmu.

According to records, Xunmu grows in the north.

Its height is much higher than Ruomu and Fusang, reaching the thousand-mile level, and its branches are lush and leafy. The branches hang down in all directions, and their diameter is also thousands of miles away.

Therefore, the characteristic of Xunmu is that it is large.

Not long after leaving Beiyue, Zhu Zheng saw the crown of Xunmu in the distance.

But Wangshan is a dead horse.

After several more days and months, he finally reached the foot of Xunmu.

When he came to Xunmu, Zhu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

This is the real forest.

The root system of Xunmu is very developed. Just the aerial roots growing from the trunk hang down densely, like a mountain forest.

And its rhizomes penetrate deeply into the ground, forming the appearance of a high mountain.

Zhu Zheng walked up, selected an exposed root system, and inserted the rain stick into the root system with force.

boom!

A sharp and high-pitched cry exploded in Zhu Zheng's ears.

Zhu Zheng's expression changed.
