Chapter 890: Picking Lotus and Continuing the Journey
Noticing the movement, Chen Chuan looked outside. After glancing for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and immediately saw a huge object wriggling in the sky above him.
Perhaps because it was too large, or perhaps because of the darkness, he couldn't see clearly what the thing was. He just felt that it seemed to be trying to break in, and the outer shield blocking the thing was like a thin film, as if it could break through at any time.
While he was looking at it, the thing stopped for a moment and seemed to turn its "eye" towards him, and the second thing on my body immediately showed signs of blurring.
Chen Chuan looked at the thing without fear.
These strange phenomena should be caused by the ripening of the lotus seeds. However, the current situation is almost like an earthquake, which makes people doubt whether this ritual can withstand the invasion of these things.
Here we can only trust You Zhinan’s arrangement.
However, if the enemy comes, we must fight back; if the water comes, we must block it with earth. If Mi Yi really can't resist and the situation is dangerous, he would rather give up those lotus seeds. After all, saving his life is the most important thing. There may be a chance to get similar things in the future. If he is too greedy, he may end up losing himself.
He is very clear about the pros and cons here.
Since whether he could block the invasion from outside was not something he could control, he simply ignored it. After retracting his gaze, he walked aside and continued his regular nightly practice.
Chaoming was also very uneasy at first, but when he saw that he was very calm, he also felt relieved. He did not go to sleep, but looked around vigilantly and kept circling around the vibrating stones. If there was anything wrong, he would bark to warn.
Chen Chuan quickly immersed himself in the practice as soon as he started. Anyway, he was practicing the Great Bright Light Style at the moment, which was a secret technique that could resist the invasion from the opposite side. If anything really happened, he would have time to react immediately.
This time he took a lot of nutrients in advance, but in order to ensure his own combat effectiveness, as before, after consuming some, he went to the side to get some more and then continued.
Time passed by as he kept repeating this, and before he knew it, the annoying noises around him had completely disappeared.
At this moment, he felt something in his heart and looked outside. He saw that the sky had turned from black to white, and the light from the sky was pouring down, and it seemed brighter than usual.
He thought about it, turned around and saw that the strange fragrance emanating from the stone lotus had disappeared at some point. He walked towards it, and the serrated leaves there suddenly moved, and the surrounding roots were also twitching, as if trying to crawl out of the soil.
He turned a blind eye to it. Not to mention that the secret ritual still worked, even if it didn't, this thing wouldn't make any waves in front of him.
In fact, last night was its only chance to escape. Either it had to use the power of the night in the fusion land to complete its alienation and transformation, or it was simply taken away by something.
Since I can't do that, then all I can do next is wait patiently for him to pick it.
He walked to the lotus head and looked down, and saw that the seven lotus seeds had all changed from their original grayish white to emerald green.
According to the illustration, this is the sign that the lotus seeds are ripe, and the information given above is still very reliable.
So he reached out and took it, and with just one touch, the entire lotus pod suddenly shattered into powder, and the lotus seeds fell out. But once something falls into the soil, it will immediately take root and sprout, and will no longer have much nutritional value.
But before they fell to the ground, they floated up again one by one, slowly rising and moving towards where he was standing.
Chen Chuan reached out, grabbed one of the pills, and put it directly into his mouth.
The moment he chewed it, a refreshing and slightly sweet feeling spread in his mouth, and when he swallowed it, it felt as if he had swallowed a wisp of sweet and refreshing air. When this air entered his stomach, it immediately spread throughout his body. After a while, his eyes became much brighter, and all his senses and even his spirit became sharp and refreshed. He seemed to have a feeling of being reborn.
The alienated organization did not respond immediately, but he could clearly feel a warm current lingering there, indicating that some subtle changes were taking place.
The effects of lotus seeds will gradually take effect over time, and the longer the time, the greater the benefits. Generally, it may take several months to a year for three or five lotus seeds to form knots, but this estimate may be longer, and of course the effect will be stronger.
In addition to being taken directly orally, these lotus seeds can also be absorbed together with other alienated tissues and high-energy nutrients that are generally not edible directly. The effect is very significant, so he did not plan to eat them all at once, but prepared to keep six in his hand as backup.
He took out a container that he had prepared long ago, put the remaining six pills in it, sealed it, patted it with satisfaction, and then carefully put it away in the suitcase.
After dealing with this thing, he returned to the pivot, took out the red stone, and felt it in his hand. He didn't feel any difference from the original one, and the weight was no different. It seemed that there was no consumption, which was a little different from what he thought.
This further confirmed his previous suspicions. He put the object away, thinking for a moment that the pivot pillar would undoubtedly be useful, so he might as well take it along. It didn't weigh much anyway, and perhaps he could use it to set up a secret defense on the way. He had already memorized the placement and spacing of the stones, so he could recreate an identical one if necessary.
In fact, if the giant hammer left by Protector You was not so huge, he would have thought of taking it with him. Now he can only leave it there and look at it when he returns.
After packing up everything, he took a last look at the place, greeted Chao Ming, and set off again.
This is not the deepest part of the forest. It is just that he is blocked by monsters and ghosts and cannot go any further. He believes that some of the most nutritious things should still be behind.
After walking in the direction he was heading for a whole morning, the view suddenly opened up and he found himself near a clear lake.
It can be seen that this is the water source for nearby creatures. Not far away, there are several wolfhound-like creatures with long snouts and sharp teeth and spotted patterns on their bodies, tearing the body of a huge creature. Judging from the still warm blood and the relatively intact corpse, they should have just finished hunting not long ago.
He took a look and found that the prey seemed to be a one-horned river buffalo. He immediately became interested. He ignored those creatures and walked straight towards it.
As he approached, these ferocious creatures immediately became stiff, stopped eating, and stared at him blankly.
After Chen Chuan approached, he confirmed his judgment. The horn of this bull was composed of a special alienated tissue, which seemed to be able to be used to formulate some special spirit-boosting drugs. The pharmaceutical sponsor company in the illustrated book had highlighted this, hoping to exchange and purchase such things from fighters.
In fact, even if it is not used for this purpose, because of the flawless beauty of this unicorn, it is also a collection for many upper-class people to show their status.
He had no intention of looking for these things, but he didn't expect to encounter a gift from nature. He happily went up and picked off the unicorn horn, then walked away.
While he was doing this, the creatures watched him silently from a distance, waiting for him to leave. After waiting for a long time, they started moving again, returned to their original positions and started eating.
Chen Chuan walked along the lakeshore and could see some fresh bones from time to time. However, they were crawling with strange animals, and the bones themselves were being destroyed rapidly. It would probably not be long before there would be no trace of them at all.
During this process, he was able to collect some things occasionally, which was an extra gain, but the most important thing he paid attention to was this lake.
The lake is so calm that the creatures that drink from it don't drink directly from it. Instead, they dig mud pits nearby and wait for the water to seep out before drinking.
So he was sure that there were probably big creatures in the water.
He recalled the records in the atlas. Most of them were good things. It seemed that things existing in the currents of the lakes and seas were more popular. Some of them were quite unusual.
He also remembered that the relic You Zhinan mentioned should be located in a lake, so it was definitely no coincidence that the other party was looking in this direction, and was simply attracted by the stone lotus. However, this lake was quite close to that place, so perhaps the other party had already explored it.
Regardless of all this, since he was here, he had to explore the lake.
He placed the suitcase in a clean place and asked Chao Ming to look after it. Because it had his spiritual power, most creatures would stay away from it after noticing it, so there was no need to worry about any problems.
Although it is not ruled out that there are some violent creatures that have no sense of propriety, these creatures often have their own territories. He has already checked and found that they do not exist nearby.
He brought the Snow King Sword this time. It was not enough to deal with the demons, but it could deal with the creatures in the fusion land whose life level was lower than his. It also made it easier for him to harvest some food and alienated tissues.
Then he walked step by step into the lake. Soon the water level covered his head and he was completely immersed in it.
Once in the water, there is no moisture inside because of the biological field attached to the surrounding area, isolating it from the water. If it swims underwater, with the existence of this invisible force outside, its speed will be extremely fast.
At this moment, a light flashed in his eyes, and the originally dark bottom of the lake became clear in his eyes. After looking for a few times, his figure disappeared from the original place.
A hole suddenly appeared underwater, and a tearing mark of water was pulled out. Along with the drastic change in water pressure, a low and powerful rumbling sound was heard around.
This movement seemed to have alarmed something under the water. Under the dark water, densely packed eyes opened, and for a moment the entire area was flashing with strange light.
