Chapter 40: The Netherworld



"The netherworld."

Ji Yang murmured in his heart, thinking for a moment.

He had been rooted in the ground for a long time, but he had never felt any earth energy, and he had not even noticed the nutrients in the ground.

As for soul energy and yin energy, he had no idea what they were.

Ji Yang would rather choose between these two options. After a brief struggle, Ji Yang chose to absorb the Yin energy.

I hope he made the right choice.

After making his choice, Ji Yang began to pay full attention to the changes in his torso. If the situation got worse, he would probably be dead. However, after making his choice, he seemed unable to stop anything.

All I can do is wait quietly.

As time accelerated, Ji Yang's trunk gradually changed. The originally brown trunk slowly turned black.

The changes have not stopped, but have become more and more intense.

First comes the trunk, then the roots, branches, leaves...

In the end, the dark green locust leaves on Ji Yang's branches all turned dark black, and above these black locust leaves, there was a hint of light gray smoke.

When Ji Yang's whole body transformed, he suddenly felt happy, because with the changes in his body, his trunk, which had stopped growing, actually began to grow again.

After making the choice, Ji Yang's vision also underwent a huge change.

The surroundings, which were originally empty, were suddenly filled with thick gray fog.

The gray fog did not appear suddenly, but seemed to have existed here for a long time, but he could not see it before.

As Ji Yang grew, he could clearly see the gray mist being continuously absorbed by his locust leaves.

Yin energy.

These two words emerged in Ji Yang's mind. It seemed that his choice was not wrong. This was a product unique to the underworld and could be used as nutrition for his growth.

The yin energy all around is endless, it's just too comfortable.

Just as Ji Yang was immersed in the joy of growing up, he suddenly saw a vague figure in the gloomy air in the distance.

This discovery surprised Ji Yang. Abnormalities often represent choices, and choices represent danger.

But there is also a glimmer of opportunity in danger.

The longer he lives in the simulated world, the more benefits he will gain.

What's more, he is just a tree now, unable to change the situation, and can only deal with it calmly.

In the following time, Ji Yang saw more and more blurry figures, and these figures were getting closer and closer to him and clearer and clearer.

As time passed, a figure soon appeared in Ji Yang's sight, allowing Ji Yang to see clearly what this blurry figure was.

It was a figure with a dull face, lifeless eyes, and a body made of gray-white mist.

"Soul."

This description suddenly came to Ji Yang's mind.

Soon, the figure approached Ji Yang, and new subtitles appeared again.

[You absorb a lot of Yin energy and attract living souls. What do you choose? ]

[Active protection][Ignore][Strangle the roots]

"A living soul?"

Ji Yang frowned slightly, showing a hint of hesitation as he looked at these three completely different choices.

It was just a living soul, and he could easily strangle it with his roots. However, behind the thick yin energy, there seemed to be countless living souls, and he was worried that he could not kill them all.

He also noticed that this living soul did not seem to have much attack power, so Ji Yang finally chose to ignore it, just like the Spring and Autumn Cicada.

This is the safest way, the golden mean, and it may help him live longer.

After the choice is made, time continues to flow.

The living soul in Ji Yang's sight chose to stay under the shade of the tree after approaching Ji Yang, and as Ji Yang's locust leaves inhaled and exhaled Yin Qi, the living soul would also be affected.

At first there was only one living soul, but as time passed, more and more living souls gathered under the shade of Ji Yang's tree, and finally covered Ji Yang's entire field of vision.

When Ji Yang's locust leaves absorbed and exhaled Yin energy, these living souls also had strong reactions.

Their bodies gradually began to solidify, and a hint of spirit gradually appeared in their empty eyes.

Especially the living soul that first approached Ji Yang's trunk. Under the nurturing of time, its body became the strongest, and there was a hint of smartness in its eyes.

He began to disperse the living souls around him, leaving behind a piece of open space that belonged to him alone.

Moreover, this living soul would perform a set of boxing techniques in the open space every day. Although its intelligence was not high, this seemed to have become its instinct.

Ji Yang above watched all this silently, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if these souls were not without memories.

What exactly is this netherworld?

As Ji Yang absorbed Yin energy every day, he began to grow rapidly in a short period of time. Before long, he was more than ten feet tall, with a trunk as thick as a bucket. At the same time, his crown was lush and had countless branches and leaves.

The growth rate of these living souls was also extremely fast. Gradually, more and more living souls began to show brilliance in their eyes.

With Ji Yang as the center, they formed a clearly defined hierarchy and slowly expanded outward.

Ji Yang looked at the development of the living souls with curiosity and found it quite interesting for a moment.

After a while, the souls under the shade of Ji Yang's tree gathered together, as if they were communicating in a special way.

At this time, new subtitles appeared.

[A large number of souls have gained intelligence. They have decided to go out to fight, expand their territory, and sacrifice for you. What will you choose?]

【Give generously】【Disregard】【Persuade the living soul】

Looking at the new choice, Ji Yang showed a smile.

interesting.

After thinking for a moment, Ji Yang decided to donate generously.

Now, the living souls under him have gathered in huge numbers, and many of them have solid bodies. It seems that with such strength, they are not weak in this underworld. He wants to see to what extent these living souls can develop.

After making the decision, the lush locust leaves on Ji Yang's branches suddenly began to fall.

Each locust leaf fell into the hands of a living soul, and then transformed into a set of black armor, wrapping them up.

With the bonus of leaf armor, several living souls led other living souls away into the distance.

Just as Ji Yang was quietly waiting for the result, the subtitles in front of him suddenly made Ji Yang's expression freeze.

[The soul under the shade of the tree went out to fight, wanting to become stronger, but it provoked the shadow of war, and you died. ]

As the subtitles disappeared, a scream came from Ji Yang's ear.

When Ji Yang looked over, he saw a half-man, half-horse knight several dozen feet tall, wearing silver armor and walking towards him with a sword in his hand.

Under its iron hooves, the souls living under the shade of the trees were crushed one by one.

Even the armor made of Ji Yang's locust leaves could not stop it.

In the end, he swung the long-handled sickle in his hand and directly cut off the tree trunk that Ji Yang had strengthened.
