Chapter 489

Long Yuanyuan was originally munching on biscuits in the evening breeze, but before she knew it, Gu Qingfeng took her away, saying something that she didn't quite understand.

But the moment she actually saw the dead tree, she instantly understood what Brother Qingfeng meant.

"Big Tree, what's wrong with you?" Long Yuanyuan frantically injected energy into the dead tree's body, trying to say this calmly, but her trembling voice fully demonstrated her fear and worry.

The dead tree stretched out a branch and rubbed Long Yuanyuan's head as usual, "I'm fine."

"But..." Long Yuanyuan kept inputting energy, and Yaya next to her also condensed all the life essence of the day. Even Alexander was brought in by Gu Qingfeng to help.

She pursed her lips, trying to control her emotions, but when she saw the withered buds on the tree, she couldn't hold it back any longer, "Woo woo—but you don't have any little green buds anymore!"

Moreover, she could feel that the tree was in a very bad condition.

As she spoke, she burst into tears.

But she was worried that Yaya and Alexander would not be able to receive proper treatment, so she had to bite her lips tightly, trying hard not to cry out loud, while constantly inputting energy.

The sobbing human cub instantly softened the hearts of everyone present.

The same is true for dead wood.

It patiently explained, "Don't worry, cub. I'm fine. I won't die."

"This will not affect the next action at all."

"But...Dashu, you must be feeling very uncomfortable. I can feel it..." Long Yuanyuan said while shedding tears, her voice trembling and even a little unclear.

Her tears flowed down her face as she kept injecting energy into the topic, "Who made you..."

Before she finished speaking, Long Yuanyuan suddenly realized that only Brother Qingfeng and Dashu were in the bathroom. However, Brother Qingfeng would definitely not hurt Dashu.

So why did the tree get hurt so badly?

Gu Qingfeng naturally understood what Zizi meant. He took out the necessary supplies from his backpack and explained, "I..."

Before he could even start talking, the dead tree explained, "Baby, don't cry, be good."

"The energy consumption this time is well worth it. I will live well, and so will you, Gu Qingfeng, and everyone." Ku Mu's voice was gentle but firm. He explained to Long Yuanyuan word by word, but could not reveal any important information.

"The survival game is dangerous, the future is dangerous, and all I can do now is to ensure that we all live well in the future." It stretched out a branch and held Long Yuanyuan in its arms. The tiny one was shaking with tears.

It continued, "Besides, you are great, I am much better now. From now on, as long as you give me a little energy every day, it will be enough."

The dead tree knew clearly that this was not enough, far from enough.

But Long Yuanyuan didn't know. She raised her head and asked earnestly with a sob, "Really?"

"real."

Long Yuanyuan was a little bit unconvinced. She carefully sensed the condition of the tree and found that it was indeed better than before. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and then tried her best to input energy into the tree.

Ku Mu did not stop him, but smiled and touched the baby's soft hair.

——

The tenth day in the foggy area.

When she woke up in the morning, Long Yuanyuan's eyes were red and swollen, and there were traces of tears on her face.

She sniffed and obediently went to the bathroom to wash up. While washing, she secretly vowed to work hard to become stronger.

She wasn't weak right now, and was even considered the strongest human competitor. However, this wasn't enough; she couldn't protect the big trees, nor could she protect the small snowy mountain...

Thinking of this, her tears welled up again and her eyes turned slightly red. She took several deep breaths before she calmed down. She pursed her lips and began to wash.

Before leaving the room, Long Yuanyuan looked at herself carefully, treated her eyes with a healing light ball, and only left after making sure that there was nothing unusual.

She is no longer a child now, she must work hard to become stronger!

However, Long Yuanyuan, who claimed that he was not a child, was particularly clingy to the tree today. He would go up to it and stick to it from time to time, and would input energy into the tree whenever he had time.

The team members were a little confused at first, but after noticing that there was not a single bud on the tree and it even looked much weaker, they finally understood what had happened.

During the battle, everyone silently protected the dead tree behind them, determined not to let any monster or strange beast hurt the dead tree.

Ku Mu felt the change in everyone's attitude and was both amused and moved.

It gladly accepted the kindness and continued to formulate corresponding plans and directions for everyone.

This morning, Ye Lei and Cheng Jun and others went to the vicinity of the snow-capped mountains. They inquired for a long time last night and confirmed that there were no contestants on the glacier, so they had to settle for the second best and choose the snow-capped mountains.

Fortunately, although some people did not live on the snow-capped mountains, they had seen them before and were able to roughly determine the direction.

After confirming it, Cheng Jun took Ye Lei and others to the vicinity of the snow-capped mountains. Although it cost a lot of supplies, it was totally worth it.

In other words, Ye Lei's development direction has basically been determined. Ku Mu even feels that after this time, Ye Lei's progress will definitely be significant, and may even surpass Cheng Jun.

However, there were too few people with strong combat capabilities. After carefully studying their abilities, Ku Mu decided to add Galka and Fei'er in addition to Zhang Wanlei, Alexander and Xu Wanyue.

Galka has a psychic ability, while Fei'er has an illusion ability. Neither of their abilities belong to the strong combat type, but if used properly, they can definitely cause amazing damage.

In addition to the two of them, there are a series of alternatives.

However, these will only be done after Alexander and others become truly strong, and then we will choose to focus on training the people on the reserve list.

In this way, the dead tree arranged almost everything that was to happen next, and even took out a branch, dipped it in ink, and started writing on the paper.

Just as it finished writing a piece of paper, the dragon cub came over again.

It made a wooooing sound while inputting energy into the dead tree.

The dead tree was helpless, "Baby, the energy you input today is completely sufficient."

"Ahhhhh."

"That's enough."

The dragon cub then stopped, looked at Xu Wanyue and others who were fighting hard not far away, and immediately rushed over to help.

The dragon cub has grown a lot bigger now, at least seven or eight meters long. If it maintains its dragon shape, it will be impossible to tell that it is just a cub.

Not to mention its combat effectiveness, which has been directly improved a lot.

Not long after, two monster corpses appeared on the ground, and Xu Wanyue put them directly into his backpack.

Rebecca next to him couldn't help but sigh, "Baby, I only didn't fight with you for half a day yesterday, but it feels like half a year has passed."

Long Yuanyuan tilted his head and hummed a few times in confusion.

Likabe seemed to know what Long Yuanyuan was asking and answered without hesitation, "Of course it's because you've become much stronger today. Compared to yesterday, it's a world of difference. It feels like you've taken some kind of magic pill. Your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds."
