The vibrant waves filled the dim basement, and the invisible life force even made the dormant pseudo-human cores stir.
But they were unable to break free from the constraints of the power of dreams. They just trembled a few times and fell asleep again.
Lin Qingliu, lying on the bed, did not open his eyes, but instead felt the existence of this power with his heart.
It has to be said that compared to other fantastic abilities, the [Flesh and Blood] path is truly powerful in a simple and unpretentious way.
From now on, Wang Xiao, who has entered the third energy level, is very difficult to kill, unless there is no individual around who can absorb his vitality, and he himself has suffered great damage in a short period of time. Otherwise, for ordinary battles, he can exist as a perpetual motion machine.

North of Hope City, where the woods and wilderness meet.
In a corner that no one cares about, lies a high-tech helmet.
"You can change back now."
Lin Qingliu's voice entered Fulan's consciousness rather than her ears. After all, she was not in that state.
"Okay meow~"
Upon hearing the master's order, the motionless surface of the helmet seemed to be polished in an instant, and then twisted inward into a chaos.
Soon, a cat with mixed colors walked out of the chaos.
"I really don't know who designed this helmet ejection function..."
Fran rubbed her head as she muttered to herself, as if there was really a bump in the collision not long ago.
"Master, do you have any instructions? Fran can sense some changes in your aura from the blood in your body."
"Oh? You're pretty smart. Go find a random tree and remove some of the bark."
"OK."
Although Fulan did not understand Lin Qingliu's order, she felt that there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
She quickly jumped to the nearest tree, opened her mouth and bit off a piece of bark on the surface, revealing the milky white trunk.
Such an attack did not cause any trouble to Fran. One reason was that most of the plants were attracted by the King Owl in the distance at this time. Another reason was that there were indelible traces of the strange beast on Fran's body.
No matter how much she looks like an ordinary cat now, Fran once had two evil heads.
"And then, Master?"
"Lean your neck over there."
"clear."
Fran pressed her neck against the exposed tree trunk.
A drop of blood that seemed to have been tempered many times seeped out from under the skin little by little. As soon as it touched the tree trunk, it spread like a seed taking root in the soil.
Fran slowly moved her neck away, and when she looked at the exposed tree trunk again, the area had already begun to turn blood red.
Fran jumped back subconsciously. Even though she knew that this was caused by Lin Qingliu's ability, such a change still made her feel a little terrified.
The blood quickly infected the entire tree, and the sound of wood fibers breaking was heard in the thick trunk.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
Something terrible seemed to be brewing beneath the bark.
The faint, sometimes loud and sometimes soft cracking sound lasted for several minutes, and finally came to an end in Fran's horrified eyes.
The tree that Fran was facing began to crack a little bit, revealing the part beneath the bark.
And there, there was no trace of a tree trunk or a tree core. There was only a human being the size of a life-size puppet.
This human is made entirely of wood, as if he was directly conceived by the lifeless tree.
As he walked out of the bark and moved down step by step on the exposed roots, the color of his body began to gradually appear, as if he was using some kind of paint that would oxidize and change color after coming into contact with air.
The man was wearing casual clothes commonly seen in the inner city of Hope City. His face showed surprise and anticipation, as if he had missed the scenery outside the city wall for a long time.
And that face was exactly the same as Lin Qingliu's in Hope City.
After his ability in the Flesh and Blood Path was further improved, Lin Qingliu combined this path with the [All Things] path where Fran was, and successfully created this fake body full of the scent of wooden products by absorbing the vitality of trees and distorting his own blood.
Because only one drop of blood was used, even the distortion has a certain limit, so the combat capability of this fake body is not very strong and cannot bear too many types or too powerful forces.
But even so, it is enough.
Lin Qingliu leaned over and touched Fulan's head. The cat knew that the person in front of it was its owner, but it was still subconsciously a little afraid.
"This body is indeed different from what I imagined."
Lin Qingliu smiled slightly and said,
"But we can make do with it. After all, it would be a shame not to recycle so many things."
That’s right, the reason why Lin Qingliu chose to use his avatar to come here was not, or not only because he wanted to try out his new abilities, but also to help the Fresnel team, who had lost their weapons and armor, to collect their equipment.
It’s not that Lin Qingliu is kind or partial, it’s just that he also wants to know why there is a rocket and a life support capsule outside the city.
In order to know these, the scrap metal must be taken away by the team so that Ji Yongxing can conduct targeted research on it.
Although the exploration team and the researchers at the institute seem to be far apart, Lin Qingliu has the ability to connect the two parties, which is more efficient.
"How is it? Can you find it?"
Lin Qingliu asked Xiang Fulan, obviously hinting at something.
"Sure, Fran remembers the smell of that antique."
Fran lowered her head and sniffed the ground carefully, which made Lin Qingliu wonder if there was still a dog part in her genes.
Soon, Fran found the right direction and began to lead the way.
Although the density of plants in the woods was very high and was still increasing visibly, there was not a single branch to stop the man and the cat.
One of these two individuals was conceived from plants, and the other had the mark of a strange beast. In the perception of those plants, they were purely their own people, just like Wang Xiao and others who had eaten the nutritional paste with added ingredients.
Passing through the layers of plants, the two headed north, following the path that Fresnel and the others had taken when they fled.
