Seeing the ancient tree in his "dream" immediately made Gu Xinghe realize that it was the ancient tree mentioned in the game system's mission.
Whether we look at the years they've lived or their current state of survival.
This giant tree clearly fits the system's mission of "reviving ancient trees".
The ancient tree that appeared before Gu Xinghe was towering into the sky, as if it were a sacred tree supporting the entire world.
The branches extending from the trunk are layered upon each other, and the roots that meander and climb the ground are like a maze of dragons.
But whether it's the branches and leaves that have completely withered at the roots, or the gray and black mist that shrouds the tree.
All of this undoubtedly tells the story of how this giant tree is gradually heading towards death.
At that moment, Gu Xinghe vaguely heard the mournful cries he had heard before the dungeon started again.
The sound seemed to be coming from beneath the roots of the withered giant tree.
So, Gu Xinghe walked closer to the giant tree, intending to use his tentacles to pry up the roots that were planted in the ground.
But after sensing Gu Xinghe's movements, the giant tree in front of it seemed to have a spirit and obediently arched its roots.
Buried beneath the tree roots were pitch-black human figures that looked like they were made of black mud.
The mournful cries that Gu Xinghe heard were coming from these humanoid figures.
Although he has lost all his external physical features.
But at that moment, Gu Xinghe quickly connected the sight of these human figures with the villagers whose thoughts he could not read.
At this moment, he also saw that the roots of the giant tree in front of them were stuck into the bodies of these human figures.
But clearly, the giant tree did not draw "energy" from these humanoid figures to save itself from its near death.
On the contrary, the withered ancient tree is providing "energy" to these human figures.
Perhaps that is why the people in the village appear rational and normal during the day.
That's why it's in its current near-death state.
And without hesitation, the moment I saw this giant tree...
Gu Xinghe was already prepared to irrigate it with the energy of "hope" to save the ancient tree.
He naturally did not know the methods for treating diseased trees in the conventional sense.
But if we simply instill the power of hope and miracles into those trapped in pain and despair, allowing them to be reborn...
He is quite good at that.
But it's clear that although Gu Xinghe wanted to directly implement the method of helping trees for fun, he was fast-forwarding to the "grand finale".
The giant tree, already on the verge of death, refused his offer.
Then, Gu Xinghe felt himself being "jumped" out of the dream.
And unsurprisingly, when he opened his eyes, the second guest he was waiting for had already arrived—
The boy who appeared in front of Gu Xinghe at this moment was the one he had previously thought was special.
There was no terrifying scene of waking up in the middle of the night to find a little boy standing in front of one's bed.
At this moment, the villainous boss, Gu Xinghe, was leisurely sitting on the bed.
His subordinate, Red Spider, had already trapped the little boy in its web.
Meanwhile, the second subordinate, the Black Mist Tentacle, also bound various parts of the little boy's body, locking him from all possible movements.
If Gu Xinghe wasn't truly a very kind and good person...
Perhaps some supernatural underworld setting has already unfolded in this little attic.
Compared to a storyline where a demon launches a surprise attack while humans are unconscious and asleep.
The current plot development actually makes Gu Xinghe seem more like the villain.
It's clear that even though this space and instance have many limitations for him.
However, Gu Xinghe also has enough power to resolve and eliminate the malice that is about to arrive.
"Leahy, what are you doing here?"
When the village chief, Byrne, took him to his house, Gu Xinghe had already found out the name of the little boy who made him feel special.
But the boy named Leixi showed no intention of answering Gu Xinghe's question at this moment.
This was in stark contrast to his calm demeanor when he listened attentively to Gu Xinghe recount his adventures.
At this point, Leisi became extremely irritable.
His once calm and gentle blue eyes, like those of a lake, now appeared incredibly violent, as if he had lost all reason.
It struggled desperately under the double blockade of tentacles and spider webs, ignoring everything else.
At this point, seeing that friendly communication had failed, Gu Xinghe took out a scalpel from his storage space.
With the help of the spider webs and tentacles that had already trapped Rachel.
Gu Xinghe easily cut open the skin from below his throat to his abdomen.
There was no situation where the skin was extremely tough and the body was difficult to damage.
On the contrary, Gu Xinghe's dissection of Lei Xi was surprisingly simple and easy.
However, after seeing the "contents" inside Leisie's body.
The reason why Gu Xinghe's dissection procedure was so simple can probably be "understood" by ordinary people.
What was inside Leahy's body was not a heart, liver, or stomach, but rather internal organs.
The substance "filling" his body was clearly the same thing Gu Xinghe had just experienced in his "dream".
What I saw was black sludge that looked like dark human figures.
It was precisely when he first entered the village, and as he turned his thoughts outward, that he came to perceive the swamp.
After Gu Xinghe's dissection, Leixi's body seemed to have lost its support.
Gu Xinghe controlled the tentacles to release him, and then his body flowed to the ground like soft mud.
After letting it sit for a while...
Gu Xinghe discovered that Leixi's body seemed to have been "refilled" by the mud and was slowly returning to its original state.
Leishi, whose body has been restored, remains in a coma and does not seem to be able to wake up anytime soon.
After repeating this operation on Leishi's body several times.
Gu Xinghe discovered that Leixi's situation seemed somewhat similar to that of the people on the sacrificial island—
After the body is injured, it can be infinitely restored to its original state.
But the people on the island were able to do this because of the abundant life energy on the island.
The current Leichi is more like someone who is "symbiotic" with this space.
Therefore, the composition of his body is the same quagmire that Gu Xinghe's mind perceives.
Subsequently, Gu Xinghe transformed into the protagonist of a third-rate horror movie and voluntarily left the house.
The health conditions of all 106 people in the village were checked.
And they came to the conclusion that everyone in the village was in the same physical condition as Rachel.
