Chapter 1068: What does "disappeared" mean?
"It's recorded in an ancient book given to me by my master. It's too fantastical, and besides, such a situation has never occurred before. I guessed that the environment here didn't allow it, so I didn't pay attention to it anymore. It was only when I saw this situation today that I remembered it."
After Gu Yin explained, everyone stopped worrying about it when they heard that the book was given by Jin Wanli.
"Based on your current situation, are you the most skilled one here?" Hu Shanmin's eyes darted around.
"Get rid of those thoughts in your mind! If you think about it one more time, you can go home and farm." Cheng Dong knew what he was thinking just by looking at him, and immediately reprimanded him sternly.
"Oh, senior brother, I was just saying it offhand. Even if I had that thought, I wouldn't dare!" If he wanted to draw Gu Yin's blood for research, those armed men would shoot him full of holes before his senior brother could even scold him!
Unless absolutely necessary, Gu Yin cannot have her blood drawn easily. Even if she does bleed, it must be kept confidential and no data can be leaked.
These are the requirements mentioned above.
Although Gu Yin felt it was unnecessary, because she hadn't mutated and was still a human, she had just eaten something that made her data slightly better than normal people.
But she also knew the concerns of her superiors. Gu Yin's international reputation was now more renowned than Zhou Wansheng's, and even more so than that of her former leader!
Countless people are looking for her, and those who want to capture her are all more insane than the last. If they get her physical data and research something to specifically target Gu Yin, that would be terrible. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, they have to nip it in the bud.
"It's natural that I'm first because I have a higher starting point than them, but I've been doing research while they're training and in actual combat. Given time, they'll definitely surpass me. There's nothing more to say about that. Old commander, you should start making preparations. We're going to the lake the day after tomorrow."
Having just activated my superpower, I'll take a day off to see if anything comes up. If not, I'll set off.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Within a day, everyone in Dabai Mountain knew that Gu Yin had activated two superpowers. After learning that her superpowers were more powerful than others, people who knew her would come over whenever they had free time to ask Gu Yin to demonstrate them.
Gu Yin had no free time at all. Before dawn on the third day, she led Lan Yan and Bai Wuwen and their group up the mountain.
It's better on the outskirts; you can drive up there.
As they got closer to their destination, the road narrowed due to landslides caused by the flood, forcing the group to disembark and walk.
"Let's find a high point to assess the situation." Gu Yin remembered that the lake water had spread quite far back then, although it was later contained within a certain area by the Heavenly Dao, the area was still quite large.
The group quickly climbed to the top of a nearby hill, below which lay the lake.
"Holy crap! Are you sure you ever lived here? Where's the evidence of your existence? This looks like a primeval forest that hasn't been here for tens of thousands of years!!"
Bai Wuwen stood on the mountaintop, leaning on a wooden stick, and was stunned by the scene below!
As soon as Bai Wuwen finished speaking, Gu Yin came up as well.
The medicinal herb field, which was always kept clean and tidy, is now nowhere to be found; its original location has long been covered by various vines.
The water in the lake was a clean, dark black, without any messy or disorderly substances.
Using the lake's surface as a reference, the surrounding flowers, grasses, and trees must have grown at least ten meters tall! We have no idea what kind of scenery lies beneath the vines.
"According to the original map, that's the entrance. I remember there were two ancient trees at the entrance that were hundreds of years old. Does anyone remember them?"
Gu Yin's mind began to recall the original map, and she asked aloud.
"I remember!! I remember there were definitely two trees over there that were several hundred years old, and even more that were over a thousand years old! I even measured them before!! But where did they go?!"
One of the team members took out binoculars and looked several times, but still couldn't see any shadows of those trees!
"What do you mean 'disappeared'? Did it get washed away?"
Gu Yin shook her head: "If it was washed away, there would definitely be traces. Besides, the trees next to them that are smaller than them are fine. I'm afraid something is wrong. Let's go down and be ready to fight at any time. We can't let our guard down."
The fear is that it might actually become a spirit. Although Heaven says it will control it, it can't go too far.
After everyone was ready, Gu Yin looked at Lan Yan and asked, "How are you doing? Can you hold on?"
She is now a superhuman, but so far, she hasn't sensed anything unusual since entering the interior. However, the Yin-Yang symbol in her mind has been spinning at high speed.
"I'm alright. My heart is beating a little fast, and my blood is surging. When we get to the lake, I might transform into a beast. I'm letting you know in advance so you won't be afraid."
Most of those who came this time were from the base, and some of them had never even seen the Blue Flame Beast Transformation, let alone the people from the Great White Mountain.
"If you can't hold on, just say so. Don't force yourself." After saying that, Gu Yin picked up the machete and started walking downhill.
Where there used to be a road, there is now no trace of it.
"Go this way, the trees here have shorter tree rings, so the risk is lower."
Gu Yin glanced at the location and took out her tools: "You guys look around first, I'll collect some data."
Looking at the bracken fern, which was thicker than her own arm, Gu Yin carefully touched it in various ways. Finding that it didn't react, she broke off a stalk and put it in her bag.
"Is this a prickly ash shoot?" Lan Yan, who had been standing next to Gu Yin, hesitated for a long time before speaking, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar species in front of him.
Gu Yin stood up, looked at the tender shoot in front of her, which was about the size of a thumb, and nodded: "You're not mistaken, it's this."
"This, this one could be stir-fried several times! It's huge!! Bigger than a seven or eight jin cabbage!! This mutation is a bit exaggerated, Ayin!" Lan Yan said, talking about the mutation, but her hands didn't stop picking it at all!
"You only need to pick one, why are you picking so many?" Gu Yin called out to him as he picked one after another.
"This stuff is incredibly delicious when stir-fried with eggs. The chickens they raise have been affected by spiritual energy lately, laying eggs like crazy! It's already delicious on its own when stir-fried with eggs, but if you add these tender shoots, oh my, pick more! There are so many of us! It won't be enough!"
Gu Yin: "...Then you picked a couple more. Keep them safe. Take some back to make a cold salad. Also, pick some dandelions and mushrooms—the non-poisonous ones that won't run away or scream!" I can't help but drool.
Bai Wuwen, who was not far away, exclaimed: "...Can't run or scream?? What the hell? Could there really be sentient beings? That's impossible. Chi Xing and Gu Ran would have to wait tens of thousands of years to meet Gu Yin before they became sentient. How could these plants and trees be so fast!"
"You're the one who's become a spirit! Your whole family are spirits! I'm just undergoing tribulation to become human!" Chi Xing rolled his eyes upon hearing this and strode forward.
"That's about right! Slow down and wait for me! I don't have any superpowers, what if some fairy captures me?"
Gu Yin listened to the receding sound, shook her head, and continued walking forward.
As we walked, we collected some plants that had changed a lot.
"Why haven't we seen a single animal?" Blue Flame asked curiously.
"There weren't any before, but the master adjusted the magnetic field here, and some small animals came. Maybe because there were too many people at the time, I didn't see any large animals. After a while, there should be some, so there's no rush."
"Holy crap! My God! What are these things?! Ah Yin, come and take a look!!"
