Ruan Xi didn't worry for long. He was soon attracted by the new herbs and immersed himself in them. Unknowingly, he walked deeper into the forest and got farther and farther away from Ruan Ping, who inexplicably turned back to the edge of the forest.
Ruan Ping was so anxious that his mind was tense and he had no intention of going back for help. He plunged into the forest again, trying to find the road he and Ruan Xi had taken at the beginning. But for some reason, he always ended up walking back to the edge of the forest inexplicably. No matter how many times he tried, it was the same. It was not until he was exhausted and sweating all over that he finally remembered to go home for help.
At this time, Ruan Xi had already walked into the deepest part of the forest.
"What is this place?" Ruan Xi was now in a circular green lawn, and in the center of the lawn, there seemed to be something attracting Ruan Xi to come closer.
Ruan Xi had experienced this feeling in his previous life. Some mutated animals or plants had the ability to bewitch people and lure prey into their traps. Ruan Xi had the same feeling at this moment, but it was a little different. He couldn't help but feel curious, which prompted him to move closer step by step.
Then he saw a huge hole in the middle of the lawn.
Ruan Xi was still some distance away from the edge of the cave. This position prevented him from seeing what was inside the cave, but he could feel the cool breeze blowing in from the cave. The cool breeze carried the fresh scent of plants that he was very familiar with, which made his nerves unconsciously relax a little bit and make him want to get closer.
Even if it's a trap, I still want to find out.
This was the only thought in Ruan Xi's mind right now. Although this thought had just formed, it seemed to have condensed into an obsession in an instant, making him desperate to find out what was inside the giant cave.
Finally, Ruan Xi came to the edge of the giant cave, and then he saw the largest tree he had ever seen in his two lifetimes. In his previous life, even the largest mutated tree that appeared after the apocalypse was nothing but a baby compared to the giant tree in this cave.
Looking at the emerald green treetops right in front of him, Ruan Xi uncontrollably reached out to touch them. Immediately, a powerful vitality was transmitted to him from the palms that were in contact with them, causing Ruan Xi's heartbeat to speed up, vibrating in his chest.
Ruan Xi is a wood-type mutant. In his previous life, he could communicate with plants to a certain extent, and even control plants to fight. However, he had never felt as strongly as he did at this moment.
Such strong vitality is definitely beyond the reach of human beings.
"What kind of tree is this..." Ruan Xi muttered to himself, but a name unconsciously emerged in his mind - the Tree of Life, a tree that can give life to other creatures.
Only the Tree of Life has such a strong vitality that can always give all living things hope of survival.
At that moment, Ruan Xi's soul felt cleansed. He had once believed he felt no resentment or hatred, even no joy or sorrow, a life completely detached from the world. But in reality, having lost his beloved grandmother, framed and betrayed by his companions, and forced to self-destruct, how could he possibly be free of resentment and hatred? Even a saint wouldn't be able to do that!
But at this moment, his hand touched the Tree of Life, and the resentment in his heart seemed to be washed away in an instant. The depression that was originally buried deep in his heart and even in the depths of his soul disappeared in an instant, making his state of mind become clear and open in an instant.
Ruan Xi closed his eyes unconsciously. After an unknown amount of time, he opened them again. The clarity in his eyes was as clear as a candle. He gently patted the branches under his palm and said slowly, "Thank you."
This was the gift given to him by the Tree of Life.
Everything is as beautiful as a painting, peaceful and beautiful.
However, this beauty was broken the next moment by a thick vine that suddenly shot out from the cave. Ruan Xi was caught off guard and the vine wrapped around his waist. Before he could even let out a scream, he was dragged down and disappeared in an instant.
