Chapter 166

Rumors about soaking in the Fountain of Life curing all diseases or making people immortal are circulated in many places.

The most outrageous rumor is that this spring water is actually the second-ranked Philosopher's Stone in the legend - the Fountain of Immortality of King Gulan, but the Infinite Church changed its name to the Fountain of Life to cover up its tracks.

But in fact, this statement is completely wrong.

Because the Fountain of Life is a thing on the list of Philosopher's Stones - Serial No. 9, the Fountain of Reincarnation of Life.

It is almost the opposite of the Fountain of Immortality.

According to legend, drinking the water of the Fountain of Immortality can make people immortal from then on.

And if you drink the water of the Fountain of Life, within a second, the person will be completely decomposed by the spring water and turned into the purest nutrients to nourish the land under his feet.

Hearing that the treasure of the Infinite Church is such a thing, Jack Zhengyi seems to be a little difficult to accept for a while, and immediately said that this thing is too dangerous, and he doesn't understand how such a thing can be regarded as a treasure by the Infinite Church.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this thing should be preserved as a dangerous weapon, right?

But Mo Amber said that it was precisely because it was so dangerous that it deserved the name of a treasure.

This is a cruel world. If the Infinite Church really relied on a spring that could cure all diseases as the foundation of the church, they would have become a collection in the Holy Church Museum long ago.

And...

Nature and reincarnation are inherently ruthless.

Jack Zhengyi seemed very confused about this sentence, but Lu Lin could understand it.

In the past, he also had some hearsay about paleontology and the evolutionary history of the earth.

The changes in the natural environment will never stop just because some animals and plants are willing or not. The environment of an era is just the result of countless objective factors.

It's just...

That being said, your spring water can be directly decomposed by people, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with nature...

Nature really doesn't take the blame for this, right?

However, Lu Lin can understand why the meat-eating and vegetarian factions of the Infinite Church have been so chaotic, but the church has not yet perished.

The Reincarnation Sect seems to be pragmatic not only in its understanding of nature, but also in the development of the church. They know very well what they need to gain a foothold in this world.

"But even if the Fountain of Life is actually a very dangerous thing, it is the treasure of the Infinite Church. Is it really that easy for us to approach it?" Lan Jie raised his question.

"It won't be too easy, but it won't be too difficult either," said Mo Amber. "According to the tradition when I was still in the church, in fact, after charging a high fee, sending some fools who were deceived by the legend to die at the Fountain of Life is considered one of the important sources of church funds."

"Ah? This? Isn't this murder for money?" Jack Zhengyi said in astonishment.

"No, this is the cruelty of nature," said Mo Amber.

"This is also the cruelty of nature?" Jack Zhengyi couldn't accept it.

"Of course," said Mo Amber, "just like many animals will emit the smell that prey likes to attract them to take the bait, using rumors to attract stupid prey into the trap to nourish the earth is the law of nature."

Mo Amber said confidently, but this answer obviously couldn't satisfy Jack Zhengyi.

And this sentence is indeed specious.

Because this is clearly a pure fraud.

Seeing that Jack Zhengyi was about to speak, Si Li immediately stopped him and rushed him downstairs to teach Tie Zhu.

In Si Li's words.

"This kind of thing is still too difficult for a naive little bald head to accept, so don't force him."

Lu Lin gave a high degree of approval.

After all, he actually had something serious to say, and he didn't want to really watch Jack Zhengyi and Ember hold a debate here.

"Speaking of which, we have entered the sphere of influence of the Infinite Church, right?" Lu Lin said, "How far is it from the destination?"

"It's about two or three days away, but I plan to go to the nearest city first. After all, I haven't been back for so long, and I have to find out about the situation in the church," said Ember, "Alas, I don't know if there are still people in the church who know me now..."

"Well, go to the nearest city? That's good, I can just buy a batch of earth dragon feed," Lu Lin nodded, "I always feel a bit of a loss buying this kind of thing from the school."

"Don't feel it, the school's supplies are expensive," Si Li interrupted, "It's only cost-effective to buy some rare goods that are hard to get outside, after all, that kind of thing often has to be bought at an auction house outside."

"Well, that's true, even if I come to negotiate the price, it's a bit difficult to negotiate," Snow Ferret poked his head out at this time, "After all, these things are not prepared for making money, but for you to use in an emergency. It belongs to the type of buying or not, and there is no room for bargaining..."

"Then where do you get so many kickbacks every time?" Lu Lin said in astonishment.

"Hmm? Because although the price of this thing can't be negotiated, I can negotiate a high price for the things you asked me to sell," the snow mink grinned, "I got the kickbacks based on my ability, and I didn't give it all to you. Your school points account has been growing steadily recently."

"Great," Lu Lin gave a thumbs up.

"Of course," the snow mink stretched out his paw and clapped his thumb.

Lu Lin looked at the dent in the middle of his thumb, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This little thing has a really strong hand, and this slap can hurt his finger.

And he didn't really want to high-five...

Forget it, it's all right.

"By the way, how long does it take to get to the nearest city?" Lan Jie asked, "If it's fast, I won't prepare lunch."

"Then you really don't need to prepare it," Mopper said, "because, in fact, we've already arrived."

After the voice fell, everyone suddenly realized that the scenery outside the window had stopped moving.

Lu Lin walked to the window and looked out. There was still a jungle full of towering trees around him. There was no city...

Huh?

Lu Lin suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a large number of large climbing turtles in the woods.

And the appearance of this thing, doesn't it mean...

Lu Lin looked up and saw a city built on the giant tree, between the trunks, standing above their heads.

All the buildings in the city are made of wood, and countless houses are built on the treetops, connected by suspension bridges.

"Wow, there is such a city," Lan Jie, who was standing in front of the window, exclaimed, "But why is there no one here?"

Hearing this, Ember, who was drinking tea leisurely, turned her head immediately.

Then she put down her teacup and ran to the window.

Looking up, she was also stunned.

Just as Lan Jie said, there was really not a single person in this huge tree city.

Chapter 271 Can it be vegetarian if it is so picky?

"Crack..."

Lu Lin pushed open the old wooden door.

The decoration inside the house is very simple, the furniture is all made of wood, and the decorations are basically painted wood carvings or dried flowers.

There are several pairs of shoes on the shelf next to the door, some big and some small. It can be seen that a family should have lived here before.

Lu Lin reached out and touched the table in front of him. The table was very clean and there was no dust, which means that there should have been people living here not long ago.

The house was very tidy, and it didn't look like anything had happened. Even the shoe rack wasn't messed up. No matter how you look at it, the family should have simply gone out.

Looking back at Li Mi, who was following behind him, she was still holding her killer whale in a daze as usual, without any special reaction.

Then, Lu Lin turned around in the house for a while, and then went out.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lan Jie coming out of the house next door.

"What's the situation over there?" Lu Lin asked.

"Every family looks like the owner is out," Lan Jie said, "the house is basically very tidy."

"It's the same here, it's really strange," Lu Lin hugged his hands and rubbed his chin, "Is today a special day for them? Are they all out for the holidays?"

"I don't know, let's go and see what's going on with the others," Lan Jie said, "and even if it's a holiday, they won't leave so cleanly, it feels a bit scary..."

"Hey!"

At this moment, the two heard shouting from a little further away.

Looking up, it was Jack Zhengyi waving at them from a distance.

It seemed that he was calling them over.

After walking across two suspension bridges with fear, Lu Lin finally arrived in front of Jack Zhengyi.

"What happened? What did you find?" Lu Lin asked.

"We found the residents of the city, all gathered in the house over there," Jack Zhengyi said, pointing to a big tree a little further away.

There was a huge tree building on the top of the big tree. From a distance, you could really see someone moving behind the window.

"Ah, I said, there should be some people," Lan Jie breathed a sigh of relief, "otherwise it would be too weird."

"But this place is so big, and although the house is not small, it can't accommodate the people of the whole city, right?" Lu Lin asked in confusion.

"I don't know about this. Master Mo Amber found it. She asked me to call you first, and she has already gone in," Jack Zhengyi said, "I can only know the specific situation after I go and see it."

"Well, that's fine, anyway, let's go and see it first," Lu Lin nodded.

Although the building can be seen at a glance, it is actually very difficult to walk there. After crossing countless suspension bridges, everyone finally arrived at the platform in front of the building.

When they arrived, they saw Big Black Bear squatting at the door sucking coconuts. When he saw everyone, he immediately waved and greeted them, and then said, "Everyone, stop for a while. The old lady said it is not convenient for you to go in here. Just wait for her here. She will come out in a while."

"Inconvenient to go in?" Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and looked into the room.

The room was very clean and tidy, and people in uniform robes were walking around.

The robe was very simple, but it protected the whole person very tightly. The people inside were also wearing masks. Combined with the new sprout logo on the sign, Lu Lin immediately guessed and said in surprise: "Is this a hospital?"

"That's right," Big Black Bear nodded, "They said they wanted to ensure hygiene, and they didn't even let me in."

"Ah? Where are the Sili people?" Lan Jie asked in confusion.

"That witch? She used magic to cleanse herself and then went in, just like the old lady," said the big black bear. "If you know similar methods, you can do that, but I'm telling you, there's nothing to see in here, and the dust-cleansing dew smells bad, so you should wait outside with me."

"Okay, let's wait," Lu Lin said, carefully looking at the building in front of him.

Although he had been to many cities along the way, this was the first time he had seen such a formal hospital.

In places like Kenermier, although there were hospital-like buildings, the basic configuration was just a hall and a few beds.

Trauma was treated well. After cleaning the wound, applying medicine and bandaging, you just needed to take a healing crystal and take a photo.

For serious cases, such as broken hands and feet, you could get well by splicing them with wooden boards and then taking a photo.

Of course, if the broken limbs could not be found or were smashed, there would be nothing you could do.

If the internal organs were rotten, it would depend on the situation.

Perforations and the like could still be saved, but if the stomach was cut open...

There was no medical school in the Land of Chaos. Don't expect the people there to suture your internal organs. The healing crystal could heal your flesh and blood, but it might tie a knot in your intestines.

But if you were not injured but sick, they would only give you a healing crystal anyway. Whether you could get well or not depended on luck.

But this place obviously did not look like a quack clinic. It even had the flavor of a modern hospital.

Previously, because of the battle between the vegetarian and meat factions, as well as the information related to the Fountain of Life, Lu Lin's impression of the Infinite Church became somewhat strange. Now it seems that it is not entirely the case.

However...

"It's a bit strange, why is there no one in the whole city, only in the hospital are there so many people left..." Lu Lin murmured unconsciously.

As soon as the voice fell, the voice of Mo Bo came: "Because the brains of other idiots are all stuck in the door."

Turning around, I saw Mo Bo was being carried by several large leaves and falling from the sky.

Behind her, Si Li also came down.

At this point, everyone who came up to the tree city gathered together.

As for the iron pillar, because it was too big, it was not convenient to come up, and it was now guarded by two little girls below.

"It seems that you have figured out what happened?" Lu Lin asked.

"Yeah," Ember sighed, then said with an unhappy look, "Didn't you say before that there were rumors outside, that the meat-eating faction dug up a large orchard of the vegetarian faction some time ago and wanted to take it to Kurobimi to release it. In the end, the vegetarian faction really succeeded. They planted those fruit trees in the royal hunting forest of Kurobimi. You can plant trees in that place, but if you want to dig outside, you will offend the Kurobimi royal family."

"This matter made the vegetarian faction very angry, and when they came back, they So they did something big, moving the largest fish breeding lake of the carnivorous faction, including the water and fish, away, saying that they would use it to increase the ecological diversity of the royal hunting forest of Kurobimison. In order to move such a huge breeding lake, the vegetarian faction mobilized almost all its members. "

"And the production of this breeding lake accounts for almost half of the food supply of the carnivorous faction. The carnivorous faction was also anxious, knowing that if the vegetarian faction succeeded in this matter, they would starve in the future. Now they have all been mobilized, vowing to take back the lake and the fish. "
