Chapter 398 The Terrifying Behemoth
What secrets do they have! In this end times, how many secrets are there that she doesn't know? In her previous life, she wasted her time in ignorance, but in this life, she holds the rare treasure of the Rubik's Cube Space, which gives Jingshu more confidence. Besides, things that cannot be explained by science are just because our dimension has not reached that level of recognition.
Jingshu believes that even the Rubik's Cube Space can be explained by science, and this kind of dead tree must have one.
This idea was out of control from the beginning. Jingshu closed her eyes and pondered for a while, and finally made up her mind:
"Rest here for eight hours tonight! I want to find the reason and the way to escape from the mountains from the roots of these dead trees. This is not a solution."
She has the Rubik's Cube Space and is fearless, but the three luggages she brought can only have food for the open road. All the meat has been basically eaten, and the rest will be eaten sooner or later. Besides, these teammates will die if they continue like this. She doesn't want to walk out of the mountains alone to complete the next mission in the United States. After all, her main purpose is to collect supplies, not to complete any tasks.
Jingshu took out the food from the luggage and began to replenish her energy. The next step was to concentrate on her work, so she had to maintain sufficient energy.
Xiaohei's lips were white and his eyes were black. He lay on the ground gasping for breath without any strength, cursing: "Damn it, I haven't had a shit for five days. Where did all the food I ate go?"
The snake spirit pointed at the Taiban snake: "Let my Taiban follow you. It's in good condition. It may help you resist danger."
Jingshu shook her head: "No, you go and rest. You haven't rested well these days because you have traveled too much. Maybe you will be in better spirits tomorrow."
"It's useless. I can feel that it is the rapid loss of vitality. You see, the cart made of dead wood seems to be more decayed, and even our weapons are rusty. I have always had a guess that the speed of time here is different from that of the outside world, but I think it's ridiculous."
"Whatever it is, the answer will be revealed soon." Jingshu said in a deep voice.
The fat chicken also realized the tension of the situation. She held the chicken coop in her mouth and lay obediently at Jingshu's feet. She was not satisfied with the queen ant who was lying on her back and competing for her favor, so she held the queen ant in her mouth and threw it into the ant colony.
After Jingshu had eaten and drunk her fill, she came to the roots of the dead tree and sat cross-legged on the ground.
She began to put all the elite-level man-eating worms down to quickly gnaw the roots of the tree. These were man-eating worms that Jingshu had carefully cultivated and fed with diluted spiritual springs every day. She had unlimited control over them in terms of distance and time, and they could even be Jingshu's eyes.
Jingshu also tied several neatly processed strands of silk to the bodies of the man-eating worms. Silk was the lightest and the longest silk that Jingshu had synthesized. It was for the purpose of coming to the United States to steal things from a distance. I didn't expect that it would be used at this critical moment today.
First of all, physical touch can strengthen the control over the worms. Secondly and most importantly, if there is any treasure underground, the mechanism of Jingshu's magic cube space is that it must be touched by a medium to receive it into the space. With silk as a medium, she can receive the things that the silk touches into the space.
There were hundreds of branches under the dead tree. Jingshu did not let go of any branch and ordered all the man-eating worms to devour them. Jingshu seemed to have hundreds of eyes in an instant. Countless information was transmitted to her mind, and she suddenly felt that her head was stuffed with too many things and was about to explode.
These man-eating worms specially cultivated by Jingshu gnawed very fast, several times faster than ordinary ones. Soon they were divided into hundreds of branches, leading to hundreds of different places. Perhaps they were baptized by the spiritual spring, and these worms no longer died suddenly.
Jingshu also slowly adapted to the operation of countless information exploding into her mind. As the worms gnawed frantically, a grand map began to be outlined in her mind.
Some worms ate their heads and got nothing, some twisted and twisted to meet another dead tree, and some continued to go deep into the ground.
A few hours passed, and the man-eating worms had not yet eaten their way to the end, but Jingshu had gathered a super huge picture in her mind, as if there was a huge monster deep in the ground, and this monster extended thousands of branches, and these branches reached the ground and grew into dead trees, and the dead trees continued to develop branches, and continued to grow into dead trees to slowly expand their territory.
This dead tree is madly expanding its territory and devouring other creatures from the middle in this way, right?
When Jingshu knew that the countless dead trees outside were just a branch of the monster underground, she was shocked. What kind of awesome plant could produce so many branches in the ground? And these days have passed, and she has not cut off hundreds of branches yet? It turned out to be just a tiny bit of branches?
The only thing that can be confirmed and let Jingshu breathe a sigh of relief is that these branches seem to be real plants, they will not fight back or resist, and have no lethality.
But what shocked Jingshu even more was that there was a place to store liquid in these dead tree capsules. It was like the bottle we use for intravenous drips, which stored red liquid. Then countless branches acted as the transport tubes for the drips, and after slowly flowing drop by drop, it was finally transported to the body of the strange plant in the center of the ground.
So the question is, where did this red liquid come from? What is its use? It is terrifying to think about it carefully. What if, what if this liquid is collected from the vitality and energy of all living things in the outside world?
These dead trees have the ability to collect life force like a signal tower? No! Jingshu has cut down all the trees that can be cut these days. After taking out the juice, she burned it directly. The situation of her teammates is obviously getting worse day by day, so the function of the dead trees is just to store red juice!
After knowing the situation of these branches, Jingshu let the man-eating worms go straight underground and gnaw towards the things in the center. The journey was very smooth and there was no obstacle at all. It was just too long.
The dozen rolls of silk that Jingshu brought were all coming to an end. If it didn't work, she would have to make some silk in the on-site space as a medium. The control over the man-eating worms was actually weakened by three points.
The mountains ushered in the dim light again. This should have been a day when the sun rose and illuminated the earth. In the end times, it only emitted a dim light. Only the red light behind the clouds could be seen. Countless dust acted as thick clouds to block the sun. The stubborn sun could only refract a little light.
Tank went back and forth several times, Lingling kept looking at Jingshu from afar, and the snake spirit Taiban also swam over several times, but no one dared to disturb Jingshu and could only watch from afar.
This is the first time I listen to my own novel in the audiobook format, and it feels quite funny
