Chapter 47: The Land of Ghosts, Ghost Tree Fragments!
Just as Lu Feng was thinking, Annie, who was staring at the dark wood, suddenly turned pale.
"Master, this thing seems to absorb my mental energy. My head hurts!"
Anne screamed and quickly turned her head away, no longer looking at the black wood. Enduring the headache, Anne climbed out of the cave and felt better.
Staring at the wood, Matyu also felt a little pressure and said:
"Rester, let's dig this thing out quickly and find a way to deal with it. This thing is too weird! It can actually absorb mental energy!"
Lu Feng also noticed the black wood's strange ability to absorb spiritual energy. He nodded, and together with Matyu, he sped up and dug the black wood.
When they had dug three-quarters of the way, Matyu could no longer hold on and crawled out of the cave wailing.
As Lu Feng dug, he gradually felt a little pressure. Fortunately, he was much stronger than Matiyu, so the pressure was still within his tolerance range.
After another ten minutes of persistence, with a series of dinging sounds, the black wood finally broke away from the black rock and was exposed, showing its full appearance to Lu Feng.
The dark wood had strange purple patterns on its surface, swirling and outlining a series of hideous ghost faces.
It was exactly the same pattern as the bark of the giant black tree that Lu Feng had seen in the special space.
Could it be that the giant black tree really existed, and the piece of wood in front of him was the debris that fell from the giant tree?
Lu Feng guessed.
In the extraordinary plant knowledge he had seen and learned in the [Botanical Garden], there was no one with the same characteristics as this piece of tree.
There is no way to know the origin of this giant tree.
The wood was very heavy. A piece of wood was only half the length of a person and as thick as a washbasin. Lu Feng felt it weighed three or four hundred kilograms when holding it in his hands.
After saying hello and signaling Annie and Matyu to be careful, Lu Feng waved his arm and threw the black wood out of the cave.
Others jumped out as well.
"How is it? Have you ever seen any information about this kind of wood?"
Lu Feng asked Matyu, who had also studied at the "White Bone Cemetery", and maybe there was a record of this piece of wood in the book he read.
Hearing this, Matyu tried to suppress the consumption of his mental energy and observed the texture on the surface of the black wood.
After a moment, Matyu stepped away from the black wood, recalled carefully, and said:
"I have seen the texture on the surface of this piece of wood in a travelogue in the library of the White Bone Cemetery."
It’s true!
Lu Feng's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Tell me quickly, what kind of tree is this?"
"I only remember a travelogue recording similar characteristics to this one. I have never seen such a plant in the enchanted plant atlas, so what the travelogue says may not be accurate!"
Matyu was afraid that Lu Feng would be disappointed, so he gave him a heads-up in advance and then talked about the contents recorded in the travel notes.
“Legend has it that at the junction of the sky and the sea, there is a country of ghosts. The people of this country live in darkness and have never seen the sun in their lives. They worship a ghost tree as a sacred tree, believing that the sacred tree gave them life, food and everything.
They live under the tree when alive and are buried under the roots when dead. Every time a person is buried, the ghost tree will grow a leaf with the dead person's face on it.
After many lives and deaths, the ghost tree has grown into a towering giant tree, with its branches and leaves reaching into the clouds and its roots digging into the magma underground.
In the world of the Ghost Kingdom, the Ghost Tree has become the World Tree.
One day, the kingdom of ghosts was discovered by a wizard, and then the kingdom of ghosts disappeared!"
"What's next? What else?"
Anne was listening attentively, and when she saw that Mathieu had stopped talking, she asked further.
Mathieu stroked his beard, paused, and replied:
"There really is nothing below, this is all that is recorded in the travel notes!"
However, Lu Feng could guess a little about what would happen next and added to it for Annie.
“Now that the wizard has discovered it, there are only two possible outcomes for the Kingdom of Ghosts.
If you are wise enough to submit to the invading wizard and accept his rule, you can still save your life.
The ignorant resistance resulted in the death of the people, destruction of the trees, destruction of the country and destruction of the world! Looking at the fragments, it is estimated that the ghost tree guarding the ghost country must have fought with the invading wizards, and the result is obvious. "
"It turns out wizards are so powerful!"
Anne was amazed by the powerful wizards described in the travel notes.
Obviously, the wizard won and the ghost tree lost.
The piece of debris in front of us is probably a piece of skin that fell from the huge body of the ghost tree. I don’t know what kind of changes it has gone through, but it was finally buried in the rocks of the Black Rock Mountains.
Then, the quarry workers from Hongye Town were working here, and the invisible spiritual power emanated from them, which was absorbed by the ghost tree fragment and stimulated its ability.
The black fog and that special space were born.
This led to a series of troubles.
After roughly figuring out the origin of the wood and the source of the black fog, a more troublesome problem arose before the three of them.
“What do we do with this piece of wood?”
Mathieu asked the crucial question.
He cast a spell to summon a white skeleton, and chopped the wood with the bone sword. The wood did not move at all, but the bone sword of the white skeleton was broken.
Other undead spells had no effect on the ghost tree's head, but the grain on the wood turned slightly purple, as if it was absorbing the spell's energy and charging the fragments.
Matyu was so frightened that he immediately stopped and spread his hands to indicate that there was no other way and he could only leave it to Lu Feng.
Hearing this, Lu Feng replied:
"I have a rough idea of how to deal with it. I'm also going to build a wizard tower. I'll put this piece of wood in the tower and we'll study it and deal with it. If there's really no other way, I can ask my teacher. This special plant will definitely satisfy her!"
Although he said this, Lu Feng had other thoughts in his mind.
When he was looking for the abnormality here, he used the "Qingmu Changsheng Sutra" and sensed the rich wood energy under the rock, and then he found the abnormality.
Now that we have confirmed the origin of the wood, how to deal with it,
The first thing Lu Feng thought of was to extract the rich wood energy from the wood and use it to cultivate dead species of energy-absorbing ancient trees.
A bird in the hand is worth a hundred in the bush.
He had been practicing the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra for some time, and had opened up 69 acupoints. He was about to become a top-grade Taoist child. However, his natal spiritual plant, the dead seed of the energy-absorbing ancient tree, was still a seed.
With the nourishment of his huge amount of magic power, blood, energy and spirit, the vitality in the dead seeds has become very strong.
But it seemed to have reached a bottleneck period. No matter how Lu Feng fed it, the dead seeds just couldn't break through that barrier and take root and sprout.
Now that he encountered this piece of ghost tree debris, the strong wood smell in it inevitably gave Lu Feng some more ideas.
With the help of this wood energy, the dead species may be able to go a step further!
