Chapter 1474 Zhou Wen’s Decision
There is a wild pear tree growing in a corner of the cemetery. It had just passed its fruit-bearing season, but now it has begun to bloom again, and soon it will start to bear fruit.
All kinds of plants in the cemetery are growing wildly. The originally low weeds have now grown to a height of one person, and the entire cemetery is covered with green.
Not long after, pears began to grow on the wild pear tree. It had only been more than half an hour from the beginning to now. Based on the growth rate of the pears, they would be fully ripe in less than an hour.
Zhou Wen waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw that the pears were ripe. They were bright yellow and looked plump and juicy. He reached out and picked one, took a bite, and his mouth was immediately filled with sweetness, as if he had drunk honey.
"So sweet!" Zhou Wen was surprised and happy.
The good news is that the statue of Emperor Sui actually has such power that it can make plants grow rapidly. If we can occupy this place, we will not have to worry about food in the future and we will be self-sufficient. No one can trap the people here to death. It is simply a perfect place to build a base.
What is surprising is that this power should not only be effective on plants. If humans are also affected by this power, then what humans will experience is not rapid growth, but rapid aging.
Zhou Wen didn't know how many times a year pears bear fruit. Even if it was twice a year, then in just less than an hour, half a year might have passed.
If this amount of time is converted to humans, how long can humans last?
This is just Zhou Wen's guess. Maybe the power of the Suihuang statue will not cause animals to age, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
What's more, there is not even a single dimensional creature or animal in the Suihuang Mausoleum, which does not seem to be a coincidence. Based on these doubts, it is speculated that the power of the Suihuang statue may also have an effect on animals, so no dimensional creature dares to stay in the Suihuang Mausoleum, or in other words, those dimensional creatures have been affected by the Suihuang statue and have died.
What's even more terrifying is that this power is not as simple as the power of time. If time was accelerated, Zhou Wen would definitely be able to feel it, but apart from sensing the blazing vitality emanating from the torch, he could not sense any negative energy at all.
After being affected by the power of blessing, Zhou Wen knew that the most terrifying forces in the world were not necessarily those that looked ferocious and vicious.
On the contrary, some seemingly beneficial forces may very well be the terrible killers hiding in the dark.
"Little bird, put out the fire trap." Zhou Wen shouted to the little bird that landed on the head of the Suihuang statue. He didn't dare to take the risk. What if the ripening power was also effective on him? Wouldn't he soon become an old man?
When the bird heard Zhou Wen's words, it opened its mouth and inhaled the fire torch. The flame on the torch immediately turned into a thin column, like a spring column, rushing towards the bird's mouth.
After a moment, all the flames were swallowed up by the bird, the torch in the hand of the Suihuang statue stopped burning, and the plants in the cemetery stopped growing wildly.
Zhou Wen waited for a while and saw that there was nothing abnormal with the plants, they just stopped growing rapidly. He was really surprised.
This kind of forced ripening method, like forcing things to grow too fast, will generally lead to rapid decline after losing the energy supply due to overdrawing of vitality due to its own wild growth.
Now the plants show no signs of decay, which means they are not overdrawn, which is undoubtedly good news.
Zhou Wen left the Suihuang Mausoleum, caught some wild animals, sent them into the Suihuang Mausoleum, and let the birds light the torches.
Zhou Wen didn't dare to stay in the Suihuang Mausoleum, so he took the bird and left, planning to come back in a few days to check. If the little animals died of old age, then the Suihuang Mausoleum would not be suitable as a human base.
Of course, even if it cannot be used as a human base, the power of the Suihuang Mausoleum is still very useful. Zhou Wen has already planned to stay in Guide. No matter what, he must take control of the Suihuang Mausoleum in his own hands.
After returning to the Sunset Army's temporary command center and meeting An Sheng, Zhou Wen told him that he wanted to stay in Guide Prefecture.
"Young Master, with your strength, it doesn't matter where you stay. But have you ever thought about it, if you are alone, what difference does it make whether you stay or not? You are alone, so even if you stay here, Guide Mansion does not belong to you." An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen understood what Ansheng meant. If there was no one else working for him to guard and plunder the resources here, then it would make no difference whether he stayed or not. Even if he didn't stay, he could come here anytime when he needed it in the future. There was no point in staying here specifically.
"I want to build a human city here." Zhou Wen has thought it through. There are stone knives that even the emperor covets, humanoid monsters, the Tomb of Emperor Sui, the Butterfly Valley and other dimensional realms. It is unknown how many dimensional realms have not been developed.
This is undoubtedly the most suitable place to build a human city.
It may be a little hard at the beginning, but the value will increase as time goes by.
If it were just Zhou Wen himself, he would have no intention of building his own human city, but the three conditions mentioned by the humanoid monster were not something he could accomplish alone. It required the efforts of many humans together.
It was after leaving the ancient city that Zhou Wen had the idea of building a city.
"It's not difficult to just build houses, but if you want to truly turn those houses into a city, you need people. Given the current disadvantageous environment in Guide Prefecture, how many people would be willing to stay here?" An Sheng advised.
"I know it's difficult, but I still want to try it," Zhou Wen said.
Hearing Zhou Wen's words, An Sheng smiled and said, "Since you have made up your mind, Master, I won't say anything more. Just tell me what resources and manpower you need, and I will do my best to help you get them."
"Thank you, Asheng, but this time, I want to do it on my own, and I will do my best." Although Zhou Wen was very grateful, he still refused Ansheng.
"Okay, but you have to remember that we are a family. No matter where you are, I and the people in the Governor's Mansion will always be worthy of your support. If you encounter difficulties, don't carry them alone." An Sheng said seriously.
"Don't worry, if I can't make it, I will definitely run to Luoyang to eat and drink for free. If I really need it, I won't be polite to you and Sister Lan." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
An Sheng laughed out loud: "Master Wen, how long are you going to keep quarreling with the Governor?"
"You should tell this to An Tianzuo. I'm a very easy-going person. I never quarrel with anyone, and I never take certain people to heart." Zhou Wen said seriously.
An Sheng looked at Zhou Wen without saying anything, but her eyes seemed to contain a hint of contempt, which made Zhou Wen very uncomfortable.
