Chapter 230 Earth Mother

Su Li returned to the surface of the water, took a breath, let the alligator-toothed turtle sink again, and soon returned to the place where he just killed the giant shark king.

After that, he got off the alligator-toothed turtle and continued to sink straight down. The "peeping rune" kept looking around.

Soon he saw a large number of relatively small trees growing below. On the branches of these trees, there were some fruits about the size of a fist.

The underwater light is difficult to shine in, and it looks very dark. Su Li can't see what these fruits look like, but his "peeping rune" suddenly reacted, and a message appeared in his mind.

"Name: Ground berry, the fruit produced by the ground pulp tree. It tastes sweet, has high nutritional value, is rich in minerals and vitamins, and is rich in calcium. It can be eaten without side effects."

Su Li was slightly surprised as he sensed the information in his mind.

The fruits in front of me are called ground berries, and they are edible. According to the information, they are similar to ordinary fruits. In this flood-submerged world, such ground berries are so precious.

Su Li immediately gestured to everyone around him, then reached out to pick off a ground berry, put it in his mouth, and made a gesture of about to eat it.

When everyone saw his actions, they immediately understood what he meant, telling everyone that this fruit is edible and let everyone pick it together.

Gong Xiao, Ling Yi, Ding Longyun, Jiang Shuijue, Luo Jun and others who had just dived down began to pick ground berries.

Su Li saw that they were starting to pick around the paddle trees below, and he circled around and continued down.

It's nothing more than a few trees growing deep in the bottom of the water, but now there are still a large number of ground fruit trees, which bear edible ground fruit, which is absolutely abnormal.

Maybe the treasure Xu Xuehui mentioned has something to do with these strange trees and fruit trees.

Su Li has been activating the "Peeping Rune", looking down, this forest belongs to the lair of shark beasts, and now even the leader, the giant shark king, has been beheaded by himself, leaving only a few scattered shark beasts, nothing to fear, you can This area is considered safe for the time being.

Su Li descended very quickly. Seeing this, Gong Xiao and Jiang Shuijue feared that he might be in danger, and signaled for others to continue carrying the shark corpse and picking fruits, while they sank down and caught up with Su Li.

Gong Xiao gestured towards Su Li, then pointed upwards, telling him,

The task for this trip is considered complete, enough shark beasts have been killed, and they can return.

Su Li shook his head at her, and continued to search among the trees, constantly using the "peeping rune" to look down, and there were sharks appearing from time to time, and he killed them all with the dragon rhinoceros sword.

At this time, the two women also understood that Su Li was not trying to continue chasing and killing the black scale shark, but was looking for something else.

Finally, Su Li sank all the way and reached the real ground.

The two women followed closely behind and also fell down.

At this moment, they have already dived to a depth of 80 meters. If the pressure increases by one atmosphere for every ten meters they dive, then the place they are now has eight or nine atmospheres.

Fortunately, Su Li and Gong Xiao are already level 9 spiritual source users, and Jiang Shuijue has also reached level 8. Compared with ordinary people, their physical fitness can be said to be how many times stronger. The eight or nine times the atmospheric pressure Can't take their lives.

Of course, at such a deep water bottom, their actions will still be affected to a certain extent, their speed will also slow down, and their physical functions will decline.

As the three of them descended to the bottom of the water, they stepped on the ground and looked at the buildings not far away, the towering trees, and the relatively small ground fruit trees mixed in.

Su Li saw a street lamp covered with vines not far away. With this street lamp, he recognized that this place should be a city road before the flood.

Soon he also saw a large bus covered with a lot of plants like ivy.

With a heartbeat, Su Li floated over, pulled the plants, and soon exposed the windshield in front of the bus, looking inside.

There was no one in the bus, and no human corpses were seen.

Su Li searched around again, and saw that there were countless cracks in the cement-cast road, and these trees and plants grew out of these cracks in the road.

What a powerful force it must be to make these concrete roads show so many cracks.

Suddenly, Su Li seemed to have noticed something, holding the dragon rhinoceros sword in his right hand, and slashed towards a crack.

The left hand mutated into a ghost hunter's claw, and it grabbed the earth and rocks below, and quickly grabbed the ground into a deep hole.

The two women stood beside him, watching a faint white light appear in the deep pit dug out by him.

There are hair-thin whiskers in this white light, wriggling slightly, hidden in the ground, only now that Su Li dug out a deep hole to reveal it.

Su Li gestured towards Gong Xiao and Jiang Shuijue, telling them to dig along the faintly glowing mustache.

Su Li felt that digging with a sword was too slow, so both hands mutated into ghost hunting claws.

His ten fingers are like hooks, and he can grab two large pieces of earth and rocks with one grasp towards the ground, and soon there are more and more fleshy whiskers appearing on the ground.

These whiskers are faintly emitting a faint light, and they are wriggling slightly, like creatures and plants, looking very strange.

In Su Li's mind, the "Peeping Rune" has already appeared consecutively.

"Name: Earth Mother, Level: Unable to Peep, a mysterious 'blind branch' born at the bottom of the earth, at a fork in the evolution of life, it may develop into a plant or an animal, in situ If you don’t move, you will become a fungus like mushroom Ganoderma lucidum, which is the fourth type of life form in nature that is non-plant, non-animal and non-fungus. It is the ancestor of animals, plants and fungi. Mother Earth can take root in any soil With sufficient nutrients absorbed between rocks and minerals, various animals, plants and fungi can grow and evolve, forming an ecosystem of its own."

Sensing the message in his mind, Su Li showed a look of surprise on his face.

He immediately understood that this must be the treasure Xu Xuehui was talking about.

This treasure, which looks like a hair-like beard buried deep in the ground, is called the Earth Mother. As long as there is enough nutrition, it can evolve and grow various animals, plants and fungi, and even form an ecological system of its own. What is this? Incredible treasure.

Su Li finally understood how this forest, the countless trees, those vines, and those ground fruit trees came from.

All of this is the result of the earth mother taking root in the earth, absorbing nutrients, and then evolving.

At this moment, Su Li thought of the floating island formed by the corpse of the blood crystal beast.

If the earth mother can be dug up, planted into the floating island, and given enough nutrients, what kind of ecosystem will the earth mother evolve on the floating island?

Can ground berry trees also grow?

Thinking about it this way, Su Li couldn't help but get a little excited, knowing that this Earth Mother is a treasure that must not be missed.

The ghost hunting claws that mutated from his hands, the ten claws are as sharp as knives, digging towards the ground continuously, and he grabbed pieces of earth and rocks away.

Gong Xiao and Jiang Shuijue were also helping, digging along these whiskers, and soon more and more flesh whiskers emitting faint white light appeared in the ground, densely packed and intertwined.

Finally, Su Li saw that at the base of the mass of slightly squirming fleshy whiskers, it was a roughly round meat ball with a diameter of about one meter. There were seven holes sunken in on the surface of the meat ball, just like the seven orifices of a human being.

The surface of the meat ball is covered with fleshy whiskers, which extend to all directions along the ground.

Su Li understood that the meat ball in front of him was the body of the Earth Mother, carefully dug up the surrounding soil and rocks, and finally hugged the meat ball with his hands, and began to move it out.

The meat ball couldn't move, but the fleshy whiskers extending in all directions seemed to be startled suddenly, and began to shrink into the meat ball one after another.

As it continues to shrink, the meat ball is slowly expanding and getting bigger.

In the end, all the slender flesh tentacles that extended to the ground in all directions shrank into this meat ball, and the diameter of the meat ball also expanded to a full four or five meters in size.

Su Li, Gong Xiao, and Jiang Shuijue looked at the change in front of them, and the two women showed expressions of surprise.

Su Li's hands returned to normal. Holding the giant meat ball, he kicked his feet and started to go up.

Strange to say, as he pulled out the giant meat ball, the surrounding trees and plants began to wither and die at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if all the essence of life had been pulled out suddenly.

Gong Xiao and Jiang Shuijue saw that Su Li was holding the meat ball upwards, and they stood on both sides of him to prevent any monsters from attacking. Then they saw the branches and leaves of these trees constantly falling and floating in all directions. Those plants The flowers of various colors blooming on the ground are also rapidly withering.

The people above are carrying the corpses of the shark beast one after another, and the corpse of the giant shark king was also carried up.

A large area of ​​trees below suddenly began to wither and die, attracting everyone's attention, but everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what happened.

Soon, they saw a giant meat ball with faint white light floating up from the dark depths below.

Everyone was startled, thinking it was a strange monster that appeared, so some people gathered around and started to attack.

Fortunately, Gong Xiao immediately kicked his feet into the water, appeared from under the giant meat ball, gestured to everyone, and stopped everyone who was about to make a move.

As the giant meat ball rose up, everyone saw Su Li who was holding the giant meat ball, and Jiang Shuijue who was guarding him.

Jiang Shuijue gestured towards the crowd, motioning for everyone to go up.

The six rafts were almost full of corpses of shark beasts. This time, everyone returned with a full load, and there were no accidents or casualties. Everyone was in a good mood.

Everyone surfaced one after another, and then climbed onto the surrounding rafts.

Soon, Su Li also surfaced with the giant meat ball.

Ding Longyun emerged from the water, let out a breath, couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately called out: "Su Li, what is this?"

Just seeing this giant meat ball at the bottom of the water, everyone was full of curiosity, but they couldn't speak in the water, holding back all the way, and as soon as they emerged from the water, everyone asked questions one after another.

"This is a treasure, called Earth Treasure. It's all thanks to this thing that you were able to pick so many fruits from the bottom of the water just now. I decided to transplant it to the floating island, and maybe a fruit forest can grow."

Listening to Su Li's explanation, everyone was surprised.

"I understand, now that this treasure is lost, the plants and trees below are all withered and necrotic?" Ding Longyun suddenly realized.

Su Li nodded towards him, feeling that his mind was turning quickly.

After that, under the command of Su Li, everyone carefully vacated a raft, and together they moved the earth mother to the vacated raft.

Everyone was busy, and suddenly someone shouted: "Look, someone is coming over there."

Su Li rode on his Alligator-toothed Turtle No. 1, looked into the distance, and found several rafts approaching from a distance.

There are quite a few people standing on these rafts. From a rough look, there are at least about twenty people.

Suddenly found a group of people approaching here from a distance, they didn't know if they were friends or enemies, everyone became alert immediately.

"Su Li, should we leave here immediately and go back, or wait for them here?"

Seeing that those people were more than one kilometer away from here, Ding Longyun saw that the target was obviously coming towards him and the others, so he was busy asking Su Li what he meant.

Seeing these people coming from the northeast, Su Li realized something in his heart. Following the Jinhui Center Building to the northeast, there are the Financial City Apartment Building and Fengjing Center Building.

The group of people who appeared at this moment are most likely people from the Financial City or Fengjing Center Building.

"Well, you just stay here and wait a while, I'll go and see who these people are."

Su Li can only guess that these people may come from the Financial City or Fengjing Center Building, but it is still not completely sure that they are them.

Originally, he wanted to decide to let Ding Longyun, Wu Feng and others return to the "Golden Eagle Alliance" with six rafts first, but considering that both the shark corpse and the earth mother were very important resources, he was not at ease.

Fearing that if there was a mistake, it would be too late to regret it, so he decided to let everyone stay in place and wait for him, so that these rafts would stay within his field of vision, while he rode the alligator-toothed turtle to take the initiative to move toward the group of people in the northeast direction. Going to welcome them, I want to see what happened, what are these people's intentions when they come here suddenly.

The crocodile-toothed turtle is very fast, one kilometer away, and it will arrive soon. Gong Xiao was a little curious, and also rode the crocodile-toothed turtle to catch up.

Ling Yi wanted to follow at first, but Gong Xiao glanced at him and said, "These supplies are very important, you stay here, and I'll just follow up and have a look."

While talking, he held the fiery red Spear of Infinity, and chased after him.

Surprisingly, Ling Yi listened to Gong Xiao's words very well. Seeing her order, he nodded and rode his alligator-toothed turtle to patrol around the six rafts, fearing that there would be no accidents.

Seeing this, Jiang Shuijue pouted, dissatisfied with the people Gong Xiao instructed him.

Su Li rode an alligator-toothed turtle to meet the group of people who came from afar, and soon saw the faces of a few acquaintances.
