Chapter 16 Second Deduction



The familiar feeling came over me again, the ancestral hall in front of me disappeared, and was replaced by an unfamiliar environment.

Ji Yang, who already had experience in deduction, was not panicked. He just looked around and observed the environment.

This is a barren sandy land, empty and lifeless.

He was the only young sapling.

Ji Yang secretly thought it was a pity. In fact, he wanted to go back to that place. If he could meet the Spring and Autumn Cicada again, perhaps he could obtain another skill different from the Lunar Eclipse!

Now it seems that there is little hope.

Before Ji Yang could feel regret for too long, a line of subtitles slowly appeared in front of him.

[You were born in a desert! In order to resist the scorching sun, you began to grow hard! ]

As the subtitles faded, time began to speed up again.

This time, Ji Yang was no longer confused. Instead, he began to carefully experience the process and observe the surrounding environment.

At this moment, he felt the scorching sun above him and the invasion of heat waves all around him.

The high temperature caused his roots to instinctively extend underground, looking for the little moisture in the moist soil deep underground.

Maybe it was just a moment, maybe it was a long time.

As time passed, Ji Yang gradually grew from a small sapling into a small tree as thick as a thumb.

But looking at the burnt yellow leaves, the situation doesn't seem to be very good.

When time pressed the pause button, another line of subtitles appeared.

[As the temperature in the desert rises, the water evaporates faster. In order to absorb more water, what do you choose? ]

[Roots grow downwards] [Roots grow in all directions]

Seeing this, Ji Yang smiled knowingly, he knows the answer to this question!

Even though it is an endless desert, the structure deep underground is no different from that of other places, except that there is an extra layer of sand outside the soil surface.

In other words, as long as the roots are inserted deep enough into the ground, there will be water!

Ji Yang decisively chose to grow his roots downwards!

He firmly believes in his choice!

When the subtitles faded, the world started moving again.

But before Ji Yang's smile faded, he saw the few yellow leaves on his branch gradually turn black and then slowly fall off.

At the same time, new subtitles re-emerged.

[Your roots grew downwards and touched the dusty ancient ruins. Under the scorching sun, you died! ]

Ji Yang fell into silence as he looked at the subtitles in front of him.

He had planned everything, but he hadn't expected this.

When the desert world before him began to collapse, Ji Yang returned to the familiar ancestral hall.

[The deduction is over! ]

[You have learned a new ability in this deduction: root strengthening]

[You have learned a new ability in this deduction: high temperature resistance]

Root Strengthening: You can use a certain amount of vitality to strengthen your roots, making them more sensitive.

Heat Resistance: You can grow in extremely high temperatures.

Sure enough, because he died too quickly this time, he did not obtain any skills or magical powers, but two new abilities.

Ji Yang opened the panel and didn't even see the two new abilities displayed, but Ji Yang could feel the changes in his branches.

It seems that these two abilities have been integrated into his branches.

The ancestral hall is now empty, and Chen Xingzhen and the other two have already left.

Ji Yang immediately prepared to try out this ability of root strengthening!

Although his trunk is not thick, there are several roots growing under the ground. These roots are spread all over the ancestral hall, just like his eyes, or even more sensitive than his eyes.

However, he cannot actively control these roots. Only when his vitality increases will these roots begin to slowly expand around him.

Ji Yang picked the longest root and then silently used root strengthening.

As Ji Yang's mind moved, the roots underground gradually began to change.

As the roots changed, Ji Yang saw that his limited vitality was rapidly decreasing.

3.4, 3.3, 3.2...

When his vitality dropped all the way to 2.9, Ji Yang began to panic.

He thought it wouldn't take much to strengthen the roots, but in the blink of an eye it had consumed 0.5 of his vitality.

Fortunately, it stopped when its vitality reached 2.9.

And when Ji Yang once again sensed the root that he had strengthened, his heart moved.

Under Ji Yang's control, a thumb-sized root emerged from the ground.

This root is about several meters long, several times longer than Ji Yang's current torso.

When Ji Yang's mind was flowing, this root could also respond in time, just like using one's arm to control one's fingers.

After some experiments, Ji Yang silently retracted the strengthened root.

Although the gains from this deduction were not as great as the last time, it was not completely fruitless. At least the root strengthening ability was still very useful. Now he finally had some ability to protect himself and would not be at the mercy of others.

I just don't know how strong my strengthened roots are, and whether they can fight against warriors in the Blood Coagulation Realm.

He would have to wait until he had witnessed the strength of a warrior in the Blood Coagulation Realm before he could know the answer.

As for another new ability, high temperature resistance.

Well, something is better than nothing.

All in all, there were gains this time, but not much.

And most importantly, this harvest cannot help the Chen family get out of its predicament.

Ji Yang was somewhat unwilling to give up, so he opened the panel to check his remaining blood and spiritual power points, wanting to try again.

[Qi and blood: 9 (can be converted into vitality)]
