"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
A lifeless puppet, like a monk sitting cross-legged on a mat of flesh, opened its pair of empty eye sockets and stared intently at Zhao Zixuan, who was closest to it.
The sound that came out of its mouth carried a hint of coldness and desolation, making people tremble in their hearts.
"Teach, instructor..."
Zhao Zixuan was frightened by the stare and instinctively took two steps back, looking for help at Lan Tianbai who was not far away.
As she took two steps back.
The puppet in front also slid forward two steps and followed her closely with a sense of oppression.
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
Seeing that Zhao Zixuan didn't answer, the puppet asked again in a hoarse voice.
When asking the second question, the puppet's eyes became increasingly hollow, and wisps of black air lingered all over its body, filled with a strange and oppressive feeling.
Lin Zichen noticed the puppet's changes and immediately looked at Zhao Zixuan and shouted:
"Answer its question quickly!"
He didn't understand the puppet in front of him.
But considering that he had previously used the power of qi and blood to bombard the cage, and could only create some insignificant marks on the cage, he estimated that he would definitely not be able to hurt the puppet in front of him.
With this in mind, instead of attacking the puppet rashly, it is better to follow the puppet and wait and see what happens.
After hearing Lin Zichen's reminder, Zhao Zixuan calmed down a little.
She looked at the puppet in front of her, calmed her slightly uneasy mood, and then replied:
"The falling of leaves is the result of both the pursuit of the wind and the unwillingness of the tree to keep them. It is the result of the interaction of both directions."
After answering, Zhao Zixuan stared at the puppet in front of her with a nervous look on her face, her heart in her throat.
The same was true for the others. Everyone was on edge and didn't even dare to blink.
The puppet being watched by everyone remained motionless and silent, like a computer that had crashed.
About two seconds passed.
There were several crackling sounds from the puppet's throat, and then it said in a dead voice:
"Wrong answer."
At the moment the sound fell.
The puppet that was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground suddenly decomposed into a large number of blood-colored roots, turning into a huge net that enveloped Zhao Zixuan in front.
then.
Before anyone could react——
Zhao Zixuan, who was standing just now, was instantly entangled by the giant net into an airtight cicada pupa. She was pulled to the top of the cage by a vine and hung high up, looking like a hanged corpse.
"Zixuan!"
An extraordinary genius shouted and reacted extremely quickly to attack the vines to save Zhao Zixuan.
The method of attack was to swing the double-edged sword in his hand, which was filled with energy and blood, with force to cut off the vine connected to the cicada pupa.
Unfortunately, the vines were extremely tough. When the double-edged sword slashed at them, it not only failed to cut the vines, but also shattered its own blade.
soon!
Only a few "bang bang" sounds were heard.
A large number of blood-colored roots broke out from the ground and attacked the extraordinary genius who swung the double-edged sword at a speed that was barely visible to the naked eye. They instantly wrapped him into a cicada pupa and pulled him to the top of the cage and hung him there.
After seeing this scene, everyone present gasped and felt extremely desperate.
The enemy in the cage is much stronger than expected.
The chances of escape were slim.
When everyone else was in despair, Lin Zichen seemed unusually calm.
He was thinking about what he should do to help Shen Qinghan escape from the cage.
Rely on yourself?
Disaster.
I tried it at the beginning.
He condensed a ball of energy and blood and slammed it into the cage, without making a splash.
If nothing unexpected happens, the strength of the cage will be epic.
By the way, can the biological attribute of [Flame Breath] break the deadlock?
Lin Zichen suddenly thought of this.
This was a biological attribute he had obtained by devouring corpses when he was at the forefront of the battlefield.
It is a biological attribute of fire.
According to the theory of the five elements, it should be able to restrain foreign plants.
But it's just a theory, and the details are still unknown.
Wait a little longer.
If you're truly in dire straits, use this biological attribute to fight to the death...
Lin Zichen thought to himself.
At this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly, fearing that his attack would be ineffective and would anger the cage.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground.
Another lifeless puppet fell from the top of the cage to the ground.
Splashing up large amounts of dead branches and leaves.
Under the horrified gaze of the crowd.
The puppet quickly sat cross-legged on the ground, twisting its neck to look at Lan Tianbai, who was closest to it, and asked with a blank look:
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
Hearing this familiar question, Lan Tianbai's expression suddenly became serious.
He recalled Zhao Zixuan's answer and said that the leaves fell due to the combined action of the wind and the tree.
This answer is wrong.
As a result, Zhao Zixuan was entangled by the blood-colored roots and turned into a cicada pupa, pulled up into the air and hung there.
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
Because Lan Tianbai did not answer in time, the puppet asked a soul-touching question for the second time.
As he asked, the black aura surrounding him became thicker.
It seemed that if Lan Tianbai didn't answer quickly, the puppet would attack him.
Lan Tianbai realized this and didn't dare to continue thinking in silence.
After a brief thought, he looked at the puppet in front of him and replied:
“The falling of leaves is the pursuit of the wind. If there is no pursuit of the wind, the leaves will not fall, because the tree will not let go.”
This answer was given in a desperate situation where anyone could only try one possible cure.
Lan Tianbai didn't know what the correct answer was.
But the time was running out, so he could only choose an angle to answer the puppet.
"Wrong answer."
The puppet said in a hoarse voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the puppet decomposed into a large number of terrifying blood-red roots, which suddenly covered the blue sky and white sky.
Lan Tianbai is much stronger than Zhao Zixuan.
The moment the blood-colored roots appeared, he reacted and attacked in a final resistance.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast your reaction is, it will be useless if you don’t have enough strength.
In just a blink of an eye, Lan Tianbai was entangled by the blood-colored roots into a cicada pupa, and was pulled to the top of the cage by a vine and hung high up.
Seeing that even Lan Tianbai was attacked without any ability to fight back, everyone present looked despairing.
They didn't expect that the war had just begun and they would die in this cramped cage.
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
Another puppet fell down and asked Wu Shiya with empty eyes.
Wu Shiya is Fu Zhou's girlfriend. Last time, she and Fu Zhou took Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan out for training and to familiarize themselves with the environment outside the city.
"The falling leaves are the tree's unwillingness to keep them. Leaves that can be seduced away by the wind are not worth keeping."
Wu Shiya was a little panicked, but she still gave a calm answer that she had thought of in advance.
The combined effect of wind and trees has answered this question.
The pursuit of the wind has answered.
Now the only thing left is the tree’s refusal to stay, which I haven’t answered.
Wu Shiya was confident in her answer.
However, ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.
With Wu Shiya having a certain degree of confidence.
The puppet in front of her said murderously, "Wrong answer."
How could this happen?!
Wu Shiya's eyes widened, unable to accept it.
The puppet didn't care whether she could accept it or not. The moment it said "Wrong answer", it immediately decomposed into a large number of blood-colored roots and suddenly enveloped her.
"Shiya!"
Seeing this, Fu Zhou instinctively shouted out, and at the same time burst out all the energy and blood in his body to save Wu Shiya.
As a result, both of them were entangled like a cicada pupa and hung at the top of the cage.
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
A brand new puppet fell from a high altitude, and like the previous puppets, asked this question to the person closest to it.
And this time, that person is Shen Qinghan.
Under the puppet's death gaze, Shen Qinghan's heart suddenly panicked.
She habitually looked at Lin Zichen beside her and gave him a look for help.
Lin Zichen's brain works extremely fast.
The previous three people all answered the puppet's question from a literary perspective.
If we change the perspective and answer from a science perspective, can the problem be solved?
Lin Zichen didn't know if what he thought was right.
But in this situation, there is nothing else to do but give it a try.
We can only try our best to save the situation.
"Hanhan, answer this question using scientific thinking and the biology knowledge you've learned."
Lin Zichen looked at Shen Qinghan seriously and said.
When Shen Qinghan heard this, he quickly searched his mind for theoretical knowledge related to fallen leaves, striving to give a nearly perfect scientific answer to get himself out of trouble.
"Is the falling of leaves the result of the wind's pursuit, or the tree's unwillingness to hold them back?"
Soon, the puppet began to ask questions for the second time.
At this time, Shen Qinghan had already drafted the perfect science answer in his mind.
When the puppet asked the second question, she immediately answered:
"The falling of leaves is not due to the pursuit of the wind, nor to the unwillingness of the tree to keep them, but to the abscission acid!"
"When the cold winter arrives, plants, in order to reduce their..."
“…Wrong answer!”
Before Shen Qinghan could answer much, he was suddenly interrupted by the puppet's harsh voice.
Then the next second, the puppet decomposed into a large number of scarlet blood roots, which attacked Shen Qinghan like disgusting red worms.
Seeing the disgusting blood-colored roots rushing towards her, Shen Qinghan's pretty face turned pale and a hint of despair flashed in her eyes.
“Buzz!”
A sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
Lin Zichen, who was beside him, rushed towards the blood-colored roots rushing towards Shen Qinghan at the fastest speed in his life, trying to violently fight against these extremely tough creatures.
"boom!"
"Bang!"
“Boom boom boom!”
“…”
The moment Lin Zichen collided with the blood-colored roots, bursts of terrifying noises suddenly erupted in the entire cage, making the eardrums of everyone present buzz.
The attack is very strong.
The noise was huge.
However, the strength of the blood-colored roots was beyond imagination. No matter how Lin Zichen attacked, he could only block the blood-colored roots at most, and could not destroy them at all.
After some attempts, Lin Zichen realized that it was impossible to get rid of the bloody roots by brute force alone.
Thus, he had an idea, and with the blessing of [Higher Spirit] and [Absolute Concentration], he used the biological attribute [Flame Breath] on the blood-colored roots in front of him.
The next second, a ball of red flame suddenly burst out from Lin Zichen's mouth and nose, and hit the blood-colored roots in front of him like a volcanic eruption.
As soon as these red flames appeared, they instantly ignited the extremely tough blood-colored roots, burning them so that they twisted in pain in the air like frightened poisonous snakes.
it works!
The biological attribute [Flame Breath] can really restrain demonic plants!
Lin Zichen was slightly excited, and immediately increased the force to spit out red flames, trying to burn the bloody roots in front of him and even the entire cage to ashes.
On the other side, everyone else present was dumbfounded and completely bewildered.
He can actually breathe fire?
Why can he breathe fire?
What is going on?
Hallucination?!
Everyone was puzzled by this.
However, at this moment, they did not dwell too much on this point.
Because they all know one thing very clearly.
Lin Zichen can cause damage to the blood-colored roots, which means they all have hope of escape.
After about a few seconds.
Lin Zichen consumed a huge amount of mental energy, which made his entire head hot and red, and finally burned the bloody roots in front of him into ashes.
However, he did not stop spitting fire, but instead spit more and more.
Use the red flames to concentrate the impact on a certain position in front of you.
We need to make a big hole at this location so that everyone in the cage can escape.
The red flames do have a fatal restraint on plants.
In just a few seconds, the seemingly indestructible barrier was burned into a hole the size of a fist.
At this rate, it would only take ten more seconds to burn out a hole that would allow people to escape quickly.
Just when everyone thought escape was in sight.
Suddenly, an intoxicating fragrance wafted out of the cage, lingering on everyone's nose.
Before anyone could react to what was happening.
Suddenly, Luo Qianxue, who had been standing silently in the crowd, focused her eyes and entered the elemental state, turning into a large ball of extremely cold ice air, and rushed towards the place where Lin Zichen was spewing fire and burning at the fastest speed.
“Buzz!”
Accompanied by the sound of ice air passing by.
Under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the place where Lin Zichen's spray was burning was instantly frozen into an ice wall by the icy air, an indestructible ice wall.
No matter how hard the red flames spewed out by Lin Zichen burned, the ice wall showed no signs of melting.
At this moment, Lin Zichen was stunned and couldn't understand what was happening for a moment.
He couldn't figure out what Luo Qianxue was doing.
He couldn't understand why his [Flame Breath] could be blocked by Luo Qianxue.
Luo Qianxue's biological level is clearly only advanced level seven.
And his biological level is as high as rare level three.
Could it be that... Luo Qianxue is an undercover agent hiding his strength and lurking in City No. 1?
After some doubtful thinking, Lin Zichen looked at the ice wall in front of him that could easily block the [Flame Breath], and the most likely guess flashed through his mind.
…
