Chapter 118 Green Vines, Boundless Fear!
The night deepened.
Qi Sui, who adjusted his spirit to the peak state, summoned the goddess statue.
Strange fluctuations rose in the dormitory.
Seven seconds later!
Qi Sui stepped on the soft and fertile land again, and the rich spiritual energy rushed to his face, like a sweet breeze, making every cell in his body moan comfortably.
Compared with the desolate island when he first entered the secret realm, the island has changed a lot after he triggered the [Spirit of Plants and Trees] profession.
Five large trees with lush branches and leaves were planted in the north, more than tens of meters high, like old trees that have grown for more than a hundred years, and they are full of bright red apples.
The light purple veins on the apple skin show that they are of extraordinary quality.
Going further in, there are radish gardens, rice gardens, orange gardens, Lingyi white lotus gardens, cabbage gardens and other varieties of fruits and vegetables, which are well managed by him.
Moreover, the appearance and size are far superior to those ordinary spiritual plants in the outside world.
"So many delicious foods are comfortable to look at. At least I don't have to worry about being starved to death one day!"
The abundant harvest scene made Qi Sui unconsciously narrow his eyes.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.
Even if the gods really return one day and humans can't resist them, he can just take some important relatives back to the secret realm and live happily.
It took half an hour.
Qi Sui completed a harvesting task and then planted again.
A lot of experience appeared on the career panel.
"Professional [Spirit of Grass and Trees] Experience Value +368"
"Professional Advanced Skill [Spiritual Plant] Experience Value +289"
"Professional Basic Skill [Cultivation] Experience Value +276"
A dazzling light flashed.
The panel gave a prompt.
"【Cultivation】 is upgraded to 【Spiritual Cultivation】"
Spiritual Cultivation: As a spirit of plants, you have a much higher chance of spiritualization or advanced mutation when planting plants and crops.
"Not bad!"
Qi Sui nodded his head to show his approval of this skill.
After all, it is just an auxiliary professional skill, so he can't ask for too much.
The previous basic skill 【Cultivation】 had a very low triggering probability. Although he had been planting for almost half a year, it was only triggered once, which was the Flame Frost Fruit.
I hope that after the skill is upgraded, it can bring him more surprises.
Later, in order to avoid occupying the land for farming on the isolated island, Qi Sui moved all the harvested crops to the martial arts field floating on the sea not far away.
As a weapon for early experience, it has been idle for a long time since he cultivated his inner strength. The wanted criminals detained in it were all knocked out by him and sent to the National Security Bureau. Now it is more used as a storage warehouse.
Looking at the almost full space, Qi Sui had another headache and covered his forehead.
There was no need to worry about deterioration in the secret realm, and it could be stored for a long time, but it was still necessary to find a way to sell it as soon as possible.
He also hoped to use these spiritual objects to trade for extraordinary objects to trigger more powerful hidden professions.
All preparations were completed.
While Qi Sui was stretching his body, he walked towards the vine that was emitting a bright green light.
The vine was quietly rooted here, as if it had stood for tens of millions of epochs without being moved by time.
This time, Qi Sui was fully prepared.
He first put on professional non-slip climbing gloves, and then tied a special anti-fall protection rope around his waist. This rope would lock the user in place in time when the user fell down due to exhaustion and formed an inclination angle, and finally installed a height tester on his wrist.
He looked up at the gray and foggy space, where the vine disappeared.
He suddenly shouted.
The muscles of his legs contracted sharply, and the power burst out in an instant.
Two deep pits were stepped on his feet, and the whole person was like a nimble monkey. In the blink of an eye, he climbed to a height of more than 100 meters, and then used his hands and feet to continue climbing up at a very fast speed.
"Hu, hu, hu!"
Qi Sui did not try too hard, and kept adjusting the rhythm of his body muscles and breathing to reduce consumption as much as possible.
His goal today was to peek at the end of the vine.
A few minutes later, he easily reached an altitude of 20,000 meters.
This was the place where he failed last time.
At this time.
Looking up at the sky, the vines still showed no signs of ending. Looking down, the sea water below, including the isolated island, had been swallowed by the gray mist.
He was alone between heaven and earth, surrounded by only gray mist, as if he had been abandoned by everything.
"Go up again!"
Qi Sui calmed down, his eyes were sharp.
The muscles in the body exerted force again, and continued to explore the unknown area.
Time passed by little by little.
The higher you go, the more terrible the gravity in the space becomes, and the thicker the gray fog becomes.
The altimeter shows "50000"
The extremely oppressive gravity was like being in a gravity chamber with 10 times the gravity. The gray mist blinded my eyes and I could hardly see my hand in front of me.
"Keep going!"
Qi Sui took a deep breath.
The magnificent light and shadow of the inner strength appeared under his skin.
The slightly exhausted body was like a rocket that was about to run out of fuel. It activated the backup energy and instantly pulled the power to full, directly tearing through the fog and pressure, and shot up like a sharp arrow.
60,000 meters,
70,000 meters,
80,000 meters,
90,000 meters
...
The altitude was still rising.
However, the terrifying gravity was like overturning a sea, trying to knock this darer to challenge the power of heaven back to the mortal world again.
The sweat as big as beans slid down the torn and red skin.
As if he had just been pulled out of the water, Qi Sui's tiger eyes were glaring, he was breathing heavily, the dark veins under his muscles were bulging high, and his heart was beating as if it was about to explode.
"Damn, it should be 20 times stronger than a gravity room!"
He clenched his teeth and had to admit that he still underestimated this vine.
Who would dare to believe that the vine was nearly 100,000 meters long?
"Persist for another 1,000 meters, climb to 100,000 meters, and retreat if it doesn't work. Come back when you are stronger!"
Qi Sui made a decision.
His body muscles were already in a state of fatigue, and it was only because he carried a special-grade anti-fall safety rope that he dared to challenge the last 1,000 meters.
From this moment on, every 100 meters of climbing up can be considered an extremely difficult challenge.
99800
99900
99920
……
100000!
The altimeter could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure.
It exploded just after announcing "100,000 meters".
Qi Sui resisted the pressure and looked up with all his strength, but a disappointing situation appeared.
In the gray world, the bright green light spread all the way to the end of the sight.
Sure enough, 100,000 meters is far from the end of this vine.
"Retreat!"
Qi Sui no longer insisted.
His mental strength was also on the verge of exhaustion.
However, just as he was about to fall down, a faint bright light suddenly attracted his attention.
That was...
In the depths of the gray airflow, a fragment emitting silver light, like a mirror, floated towards his position with a disorderly movement trajectory.
A few seconds later.
This silver-bright fragment floated past him.
Qi Sui stretched out his hand to grab it, but failed to reach it. The scene reflected in the fragments froze the expression on his face.
…
A towering city tower stood in the wilderness.
The dark red color of dried blood remained on the city wall made of bluestone bricks, and the scars of swords and knives in the wind and sand told the long years.
The rumbling of war drums was deafening.
War horses neighed, and swords clashed!
The black mass of armored soldiers guarding in front of the city tower collided with the tall barbarians who rushed from the depths of the wilderness like a tide, turning into a storm of flesh and blood.
Swords and shadows, broken limbs and arms.
In just a moment, batches of soldiers fell down, and then batches of soldiers came forward one after another, their eyes wide open, and they issued unyielding war cries.
Blood mixed with broken meat dyed the earth red.
However, even though the fighting was so brutal, the battle was still one-sided.
Because their opponents were too strong.
Those burly barbarians, who were generally over two meters tall, simply wore some animal leather and held weapons made of unknown animal bones, and could start a massacre among a group of soldiers.
They were extremely powerful and fearless, and their cheeks flashed with strange red veins, making them look even more ferocious.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The barbarian's throat gurgled like a beast.
When they were hungry, they tore meat from the corpses and stuffed it into their mouths to eat. When they were thirsty, they directly grabbed the living soldiers and bit their necks to drink blood.
The fighting made them crazy!
Soon, the battle was coming to an end.
About 100,000 heavily armored soldiers were slaughtered by about 1,000 barbarians in less than half an hour.
On the city wall.
A tall figure bathed in the golden sunset.
She stared at the defeated battlefield, her face showing sadness, her waist-length black hair dancing in the biting cold wind.
The yellow sand swept across the sky, erasing all traces of the tower, the girl, and the soldiers.
The world returned to desolation.
…
"What the hell is this?"
Qi Sui was shocked and broke free from some mysterious magnetic force.
The scenes he had just seen were like a movie playing in front of his eyes, and they were as real as if he were actually there.
His mind was in a mess, and he wanted to reach out and hold the glimmering fragment again.
But he saw endless cracks on the surface of the fragment.
Finally, with a "pop", it completely shattered into brilliant light spots all over the sky, and then merged into the green vine.
Qi Sui's outstretched hand froze in the air, and the scene in front of him was far beyond his imagination.
He calmed down and looked around, wondering if he could find this strange fragment with silver light again.
Time passed slowly.
Qi Sui remained patient enough, and even he himself didn't know how long it had been, and another mysterious fragment with shining light floated over from the mist.
Qi Sui reached out to grab it while spying on the scene reflected in the fragment.
...
It was a small room with dim candlelight.
A burly man, like a violent bear, was lying at the table, reading a book carefully by candlelight.
The cold wind blew, and the candle flame jumped.
It made his cold profile look even more resolute.
"This is..."
Qi Sui's eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.
Because he was too shocked, his hands unconsciously released the force, and his body fell down, and then was firmly caught by the safety rope.
The man in the picture seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head to look at the void behind him.
The extremely familiar face completely appeared in front of Qi Sui.
Deep black eyes, sword-like eyebrows.
Isn't this the same look as when he looks in the mirror every day!
The only difference is probably the beard on his chin, and the eyebrows are less heroic and vigorous, and more vicissitudes and fatigue.
The picture only stayed for more than ten seconds before it broke again.
It also turned into a sky full of gorgeous light and gathered into the vines.
Before Qi Sui could come back to his senses, another light fragment floated over.
This time the position was just right, floating right in front of him.
He instinctively reached out to touch it, and his fingertips touched the fragmented light curtain, just like the ripples on the lake, and then an irresistible suction came, swallowing him up.
…
After a strong sense of dizziness.
Qi Sui felt that he was stepping on hard ground.
He directly entered the [Concentration] state, quickly eliminated the dizziness, and looked at the surrounding environment with vigilant eyes.
High-rise buildings, concrete floors, speeding cars, hurried pedestrians...
Everything is normal.
Similar environments may appear in any small town in Xia Country.
Qi Sui turned his attention to the flashing prompts on the career panel.
"Entering a special state, mental power is continuously draining, 1 point/min, when mental power is less than 20 points, you will be forced to teleport out."
"Triggering the hidden occupation awakening condition, the four-dimensional-mental attribute is insufficient, and it cannot be awakened!"
Special state?
Hidden occupation?
Qi Sui frowned and glanced at the panel.
[Spirit: 53]
[Spirit: 98/530]
After climbing the vines before, his mental power was almost exhausted, and he could only stay here for a little more than an hour.
What interested him most was the hidden occupation in the prompt.
"Does it require the spiritual four-dimensional attribute to meet the standard? Is it because this occupation is more spiritual?"
"It's the first time I've encountered this situation. The hidden occupation may not be simple!"
Qi Sui was a little excited.
Just like [Berserker Tyrant], it absorbed the energy essence of the entire spine of the God of Flesh and Blood.
The strength of the occupation is linked to the difficulty of acquisition.
Thinking of this, he immediately added the 8 attribute points from the previous Berserker Tyrant upgrade and the [Chemical Researcher] upgrade to "Spirit".
[Spirit: 61]
[Spirit Power: 178/610]
The 8-point increase in the four-dimensional attributes made Qi Sui's spiritual perception seem to enter a new realm.
The world was like a mirror covered with dirt, which was gradually being wiped clean.
He could even vaguely sense the various rich elements such as C, H, O, and N floating in the air, and glimpse their movement trajectories.
This feeling was like peeping into the essence of the world bit by bit.
Just when he wanted to experience the strength brought by the "61" points of spirit, a hurried voice came from the alley next to him.
"Hey, big stupid bear, what are you doing standing there, do you want to die!"
At the same time, a thin figure rushed out of the darkness, grabbed his arm, and tried to drag him into the alley by force.
Qi Sui had already noticed her presence. She was just a weak, ordinary girl, so he simply followed her wishes and walked into the alley together.
"Beauty, how does my standing there bother you? Why are you cursing me to death?" Qi Sui asked curiously.
The thin girl with short red hair looked up, her face was covered with dirt, and her appearance was not clear. She pointed to the sky with some annoyance: "Stupid, are you stupid? A big stupid bear like you is really lucky to be alive until now!"
"Huh?"
Qi Sui looked puzzled and looked up at the sky in the direction of the girl's finger.
Just one glance made his expression freeze, his body stood stiffly in place, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
Under the starry night.
There was an unimaginably huge human-shaped phantom, quietly floating above the city.
It exuded brilliant white light and shadow all over its body, its face was an unreal nothingness, it was covered with silver and gorgeous armor, and there were eight white wings covering the sky and the sun behind it. Its palms were facing down and holding a holy giant sword, which seemed to be able to flatten all the dirt in the world.
A tide of fear filled his heart, ready to drown Qi Sui.
…
