Chapter 658 Millennium Ginseng Essence
Just as the Jeko Group and the United States mobilized warships on a large scale towards the Yinyang Zhenhai Palace, most of the countries with satellites discovered the problem.
An island suddenly appeared off the coast of Hokkaido, Sakura Country, which was a shock to the country that discovered the island.
The current Blue Star is no longer what it was hundreds of years ago.
Hundreds of years ago, human navigation technology was poor, and humans were in the era of great geographical discoveries.
Those adventurers and merchants went out to sea and often discovered new islands and continents in the vast ocean. For example, Columbus discovered the New World, which is a well-known classic case of Blue Star.
But as time entered the 21st century, there were no unknown islands on Blue Star that had not been discovered, and all the land on the surface had been stepped on by human traces.
Today, an island that suddenly appeared is not an island reef formed by a geological volcanic eruption, but an extremely huge island with towering trees and large buildings. For the countries that discovered this island, it was like a heavy hammer, knocking them dizzy.
Ancient relics, alien creations, natural wonders, myths and legends, all kinds of speculations have been fiercely discussed among the top leaders and think tanks of various countries.
Especially those in East Asia are particularly sensitive to this deep-sea island.
Because there are too many records about overseas fairy mountains in history, even the first emperor of the unified China never forgot them.
The mysterious island that appeared off the coast of Hokkaido, Sakura Country, is quite consistent with the overseas fairy mountain legends recorded in history.
But no matter which country it is, after figuring out why the Jeko Group and the United States are fighting, they have begun to mobilize their own forces.
Those who have the ability to send warships will send fleets to the waters of Hokkaido, Sakura Country as soon as possible.
Some countries that are out of reach have begun to actively contact the Jeko Group and the United States in diplomacy, hoping that the two countries can announce the situation so that they can also get a share and participate in the research on this mysterious island.
In fact, it is not just national power, because the current satellite network is too developed, especially after the emergence of the Kunpeng rocket of the Jeco Group, which has made the price of satellite launches very cheap, the number of rockets running in the blue planet space has increased, and various commercial satellites are scattered throughout the space.
These commercial satellites are also very accurate. Although they are worse than spy satellites, they can also distinguish meter-level errors, not to mention where such a large island is. As long as the commercial satellite changes its orbit, it can immediately find this giant on the sea.
This kind of commercial satellite, as long as private individuals pay, can view the shooting information of the satellite's location.
So on the Internet, there is already information about the mysterious island off the coast of Hokkaido, which has been disclosed to the Internet to share this shocking news with the world.
But these news often appear on the Internet soon, and then they will be strangely 404.
Countries around the world have a tacit understanding on this matter, and they conceal it first, so as not to cause other troubles due to the public opinion and attitude, and mix into this big event to share their cake.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the countries of Blue Star and the real dignitaries have begun to actively mobilize, wanting to divide the interests of this mysterious island first.
Just when the countries of Blue Star were agitated by the birth of Yin Yang Zhenhai Palace, Yin Yang Zhenhai Palace.
A total of 32 people in Ovira's group, except for eight experts and scholars in various fields, the rest were soldiers sent by the United States.
Walking on the deep-sea island, what they heard and saw opened their eyes.
"What kind of soil is this?"
Ovira squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil.
This soil has no trace of being washed away by sea water. It is moderately dry and moist. When digging, you can still feel a faint sense of heat, which makes Ovira and other experts and scholars marvel.
"Collect samples."
At Ovira's order, someone began to dig a few pieces of soil and save them, intending to test the components after leaving the deep-sea island.
The group continued to move forward. They entered the jungle with dense vegetation from the rocky land outside the deep-sea island.
There are towering trees as high as a hundred meters, with treetops like umbrellas. The ground under your feet is covered with low grass and trees. Even the seemingly ordinary weeds have a vigorous vitality, which gives people a very wonderful feeling.
Occasionally, you can see a plant of precious ganoderma, a strange flower, a spiritual fruit, or a strange grass. These are real spiritual roots, containing rich yang spiritual power.
They are part of the operation of the Yin-Yang Zhenhai Palace formation. Where such a spiritual root is located, there is often no vegetation growing within three feet around it.
Because ordinary vegetation cannot bear the yang flame fluctuations emitted by the yang spiritual root at all times.
Ovira and others who entered here breathed rapidly, and everyone's eyes became greedy and hot.
"Are those plants the spiritual roots and precious medicines often mentioned in East Asian culture?"
"Is this island really the legendary Penglai Fairy Island or something like that?"
"Stop talking nonsense, go and collect them, don't miss any of them."
The experts from the United States discussed with each other, and some of them were already impatiently rushing towards those spiritual roots. In the face of the huge discovery, they forgot the most basic vigilance.
The fastest expert rushed to a fire crow ginseng, which was roughly similar in shape to the ginseng of Blue Star. The part exposed above the ground was about two feet high, and the clusters of branches and leaves on the top were like burning flames, which was particularly beautiful.
"Imogene, wait, don't get so close, beware of danger."
Ovira saw this, he still had reason. It is best to maintain enough awe for these unknown mysterious plants. It is too rash to approach them rashly. This is not the quality that an expert should have.
Imogene, who was stopped by Ovira, turned his head and smiled: "Professor Ovira, this is just a plant, no big deal, I'm here."
Imogene did not listen to Ovira's words. He could not restrain his desire to explore and possess these magical plants.
As long as he could get a plant of this kind, go back to conduct research, and publish some papers, he would become the most eye-catching scholar at home and abroad, and become a pioneer in unlocking the remains of super ancient civilizations. By then, his status in the academic world will rise and become the top academic authority.
As he was talking, Imogen subconsciously took two steps forward.
But it was during these two steps that an accident happened.
I saw that the fire ginseng in front of Imogen suddenly had flames crackling and burning, and the flames covered the crown branches and leaves of the fire ginseng.
One of the flames flew out and landed on Imogen.
A terrible thing happened. Imogen was like being doused with gasoline and ignited. The hot flames instantly covered him and burned him into a human-shaped torch.
"Ahhhhh!"
The screams shook the world. Imogen wailed in pain. His skin and flesh became charred and oily under the burning flames. He rolled back and forth on the ground frantically, but it was difficult to extinguish the flames.
"Hurry up and save him."
"Put out the fire. Get all the water out."
The soldiers of the United States were all experienced fighters. They reacted immediately. Some took off their coats to put out the flames on Imogen. Some took out the water they carried with them and poured it on Imogen in an attempt to save him.
But the effect was too poor. The flames were so hot that they could not be extinguished by human power in a short time.
In just over thirty seconds, Imogen stopped moving and turned into a curled up charred corpse, which still exuded a faint smell of meat.
The flames finally dissipated at this time, and the people of the United States also saw the miserable state of Imogene.
Imogene, who was originally 1.8 meters tall, was now seriously reduced in height. The moisture in his body was dried by the flames, and his bones and flesh were burned into charcoal. With a slight touch, he turned into powder and shattered.
Fire Crow Ginseng is not a very expensive and rare spiritual root in the Tianyuan World, but it is not a common product.
Its attack is not very dangerous. For the cultivators in the Tianyuan World, even the cultivators with low cultivation can mostly avoid the attack of Fire Crow Ginseng. The inner disciples above the fifth level of the Soul Condensation Realm can use spiritual energy to protect their bodies and directly block these flames.
Even ordinary people in the Tianyuan World, such as those old herbal farmers who run mountains to collect herbs, can pick Fire Crow Ginseng by other means as long as they know enough about it.
After many years of development, the cultivators in the Tianyuan World have long summarized a set of corresponding picking methods for spiritual roots and plants.
But the humans on Blue Star don’t know!
The cultivators can easily deal with the attack of Fire Crow Ginseng, but it is extremely deadly to ordinary people on Blue Star.
Not to mention, the Fire Crow Ginseng is still under the influence of the Yin Yang Zhenhai Palace. As a part of the formation, the intensity and aggressiveness of the attack have become stronger under the influence of the formation.
"This plant"
Please... you... collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
Ovila looked at the Fire Crow Ginseng with a very ugly expression.
Some soldiers of the United States could not help but move the muzzle and aim at the Fire Crow Ginseng.
As if feeling threatened, the Fire Crow Ginseng suddenly moved, the crown shook back and forth, and clusters of flames flew out.
"Fuck, quickly avoid these flames."
"Oh my God! This guy can also attack on a large scale."
"Shoot, shoot and kill this devil plant."
The people of the United States were shocked and dodged in a hurry.
Some soldiers chose to shoot, and the bullets swept towards the Fire Crow Ginseng.
Although the American team tried their best to dodge, there were too many flying flames, and the American soldiers had to protect those clumsy experts. Two American soldiers were hit one after another and were stained by the flames. In a blink of an eye, they were ignited into a human-shaped torch.
At the same time, the fire crow ginseng attacked by bullets had many wounds, and burning blood flowed out of the wounds. Then the fire crow ginseng shook its trunk violently, and the ginseng body buried in the soil came out.
The ginseng body had human-like facial features, and the ginseng whiskers were like human hands and feet. It looked round and fat, but the ginseng body was red.
As soon as it got out of the ground, the two short legs of the fire crow ginseng jumped and ran away quickly. After a few times, it disappeared into the bushes, leaving a group of dumbfounded American people behind.
"What the hell is this?"
Ovira couldn't help himself. He had never seen such an outrageous plant in his life, which could spit fire and voluntarily drill out of the ground and run away. This was more subversive than a sea monster.
He expected to lose people before entering the deep-sea island, but he didn't expect to fall on the plants.
Such an elite team was unexpectedly killed by a strange plant. This island was far more dangerous than he thought.
"Thousand-year ginseng spirit, this is definitely a thousand-year ginseng spirit. In the myths and legends of China, this kind of ginseng can run and jump, and is shaped like a human body. Eating one can extend life by a hundred years. Catch it quickly and don't let it go."
A historian from the Sakura Country shouted with an extremely hungry look in his eyes.
"Extend life by a hundred years?"
The eyes of everyone present turned green. Several soldiers from the Beautiful Country chased after the place where the Fire Crow Ginseng disappeared, but they could not find it anywhere.
"You said this is the thousand-year-old ginseng spirit. Are you sure?"
Ovila looked at the historian from the Sakura Country with a serious face. If the magical plant that can extend life by a hundred years really exists, countless powerful and wealthy people around the world will go crazy for it.
"I think this is the Millennium Ginseng Spirit. The place we are in is probably the Penglai Fairy Island mentioned in the Eastern mythology. Penglai Fairy Island is one of the three immortal mountains on the sea. It is the legendary residence of immortals and grows the elixir of immortality.
The ginseng that looks like a human is very similar to the image of the Millennium Ginseng Spirit in the myth.
According to the legend, this is a kind of ginseng that has grown for a thousand years and has become a spirit with a mind. Eating it can prolong life, but it may not be as exaggerated as immortality. After all, the ancients often exaggerated things.
But there is no smoke without fire. Ordinary ginseng has such a great effect, not to mention this magical Millennium Ginseng Spirit. It can definitely prolong life."
The scholar of Sakura Country was excited. He felt as if he was witnessing the advent of a mythological era.
Even the Millennium Ginseng Spirit in myths and legends has appeared. Could it be that there are really immortals and ghosts in this world?
However, if the monks of Tianyuan World heard what the scholar of Sakura Country said, they would definitely laugh at it.
It is true that the Fire Crow Ginseng is an extraordinary spiritual root, but it is too much to say that it can extend one's life by a hundred years.
It is not so easy to increase life span, otherwise there would not be so many cultivators in the Tianyuan World who would sit in seclusion and die of exhaustion.
Not everyone is the ancestor of the Ghost Ridge Palace, the annual ringworm, who can live so long.
The magic path also has ways to increase life span, but basically there are serious sequelae, which can easily make oneself neither human nor ghost, and it is better to be dead than alive.
There are top-grade spiritual roots that can extend life, but they are not the Fire Crow Ginseng. The Fire Crow Ginseng does not have a thousand years. It just grows for a hundred years in the spiritual veins of the Zixia Sect. After Su Jie destroyed the Zixia Sect, it became one of the massive spoils of Su Jie's looting of the Zixia Sect.
The most orthodox way to increase life span in the Tianyuan World is to break through and improve one's cultivation. This kind of life span has no sequelae at all and is the most respected path for most cultivators.
"Damn, we didn't catch that thing."
Ovira heard the scholar from Sakura Country say this, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.
If they could catch the thousand-year-old ginseng spirit that could run, their trip to the island would be a great harvest.
"But."
Ovira cast his eyes to other places in the jungle. In several places, there were magical plants similar to the thousand-year-old ginseng spirit.
But thinking of the dangerous ginseng that could spit fire just now, Ovira's forehead was slightly sweaty.
"Be careful to test, don't let anyone down this time."
Ovira gritted his teeth and solemnly warned.
Others nodded like chickens pecking at rice. After what happened just now, who would dare to be careless! (End of this chapter)
