Before Ji Yang could check the surroundings, a prompt came in front of him:
[Blessed by the immortal body, you have gained spiritual wisdom! 】
This made Ji Yang happy. With the unique ability bonus, the deduction was indeed twice as effective with half the effort.
As the prompt faded, Ji Yang began to look around.
What comes into view is a lush forest with dozens of big trees growing around it. The cheerful chirping of birds can be heard by the ears, and squirrels can be seen jumping up and down on the branches from time to time.
The rich breath of life immediately made Ji Yang feel happy.
He should be here, not in the sea, and certainly not under the car.
As time passed, Ji Yang's trunk became thicker and thicker, and with the existence of his immortal body, Ji Yang absorbed the breath of life in the forest and the air of the earth more wantonly. In addition, his ability to penetrate deep into the wood and his spiritual heart of the tree gave him some control over the surrounding area.
But unfortunately, when Ji Yang was operating his immortal body, no prompts appeared, which made Ji Yang's idea of obtaining the skills from here fail.
In a very short period of time, Ji Yang's height surpassed that of other big trees in the entire dense forest, making it unique.
And with the ability to call the wind and rain, Ji Yang doesn't have to worry about insufficient rain or strong winds.
Even with the magical power of the Five Elements, he can make the greatest possible changes to his environment, and the conditions for his growth can be said to be extremely favorable.
But as time went on, Ji Yang discovered something was wrong.
It was because he had grown for a long time, and except for the initial development of intelligence, he did not trigger any new prompts.
No hints means no opportunities.
This made Ji Yang a little distressed, and he looked around the dense forest, and found that apart from some common wild beasts such as gray wolves, black gold beasts, and hares, there were no other powerful beasts in the forest. This made it difficult for Ji Yang to do so even if he wanted to encounter some kind of crisis.
For a moment, Ji Yang felt a little depressed.
It’s like he has already mastered the art of slaying dragons, but there are no real dragons in the world anymore.
However, after adjusting his thoughts a little, Ji Yang quickly accepted it.
Now that he has intelligence and is able to absorb the power of heaven and earth, he no longer has to worry about reaching his lifespan limit.
As long as there is enough time, he can rely on his own strength to make this deduction a success.
After the deduction is successful, the next deduction will be able to add one more magical power, which will be of great benefit to the subsequent deductions. Therefore, even if there is nothing to be gained at the moment, Ji Yang is not panicked or impatient.
The stars move and the seasons come and go.
In spring, he sees lush grass, flying orioles, green willows and red flowers; in summer, he sees shady green trees and the sound of cicadas; in autumn, he sees colorful forests and the fragrance of osmanthus; in winter, he sees white snow and blooming winter plums.
Ji Yang's mood had never been so calm. Although he had had such experiences before, he was limited by the results of his deductions and the crisis of his family at that time, and his heart was never able to calm down.
But now that the family has just been established, although there are external threats, both the Chen family and Ji Yang now have some ability to protect themselves, and no longer have the feeling of powerlessness they had before, so that even if the deduction did not achieve the results they wanted this time, it was not enough to cause Ji Yang's mind to fluctuate.
After all, if it doesn’t work this time, then try next time.
This change subtly influenced the family members and also made Ji Yang's mind as calm as a calm lake.
But just when Ji Yang was about to complete the deduction in this state, a unique sound of flapping wings suddenly came from afar.
With the blessing of clairaudience, Ji Yang had sharp hearing, but for a moment, he did not notice the source of the sound.
As the flapping sound of wings got closer, Ji Yang's invisible gaze suddenly looked upwards.
All he saw was a thumb-sized, brown cicada flying towards his tree trunk.
The moment he saw what was in front of him, ripples began to appear in Ji Yang's calm heart.
"It's this lazy cicada again!"
Although he sounded a little resentful, Ji Yang also had a complicated feeling in his heart about the arrival of the cicada.
After all, he had acquired a lot of useful magical powers from this cicada, but on the other hand, Ji Yang also condemned the cicada's extremely uncivilized behavior.
He is in good condition this time, and perhaps he can avenge the previous tree sap and explore the potential of this cicada.
At this time, a prompt came in front of me:
[Attracted by something inexplicable, spring and autumn cicadas fly towards you. In order to grow better, what do you decide? 】
[actively drive away] [ignore] [clear the bed to welcome]
After a brief thought, Ji Yang simply chose to ignore it.
Because even if you actively drive it away, you probably won't be able to drive this stubborn cicada away, and if you sweep the bed to welcome it, it may make the cicada realize your ill intentions.
While Ji Yang was indifferent, the spring and autumn cicadas soon landed on Ji Yang's tree trunk.
After this stop, the spring and autumn cicada did not rush to suck the sap, but just stayed quietly on the tree trunk without any movement.
At this moment, Ji Yang was also looking at this seemingly inconspicuous Spring and Autumn Cicada. He could confirm that this Spring and Autumn Cicada was the same one from the previous several simulations. However, upon closer inspection, the current Spring and Autumn Cicada was slightly different from the original one.
Its body seemed to be smaller, but its color was much darker, and the texture on its surface, like tree rings, was also much more numerous than before, making people feel dazzled.
More importantly, Ji Yang felt the invisible flow of time on it.
It seems that this spring and autumn cicada has grown a lot.
With the arrival of the Spring and Autumn Cicada, Ji Yang simply gave up his previous practice of absorbing the power of heaven and earth and instead focused all his attention on this cicada.
While looking around, Ji Yang activated his immortal body, trying to absorb the power of the cicada.
However, it is quite difficult to absorb the power of time with a broken immortal body.
But Ji Yang has plenty of time and opportunities.
Time passes, the days and months move by.
Gradually, Ji Yang was surprised to find that the body of the Spring and Autumn Cicada became increasingly drier, and its originally transparent wings turned into ashes with the passage of time. Even the breath of the cicada gradually began to weaken, and even disappeared completely.
This made Ji Yang feel puzzled. Could it be that?
Did I suck this cicada to death?
But he didn't feel that he had gained anything during this period.
This made Ji Yang look confused, and he couldn't help but stretch out a branch to check the current situation of the Spring and Autumn Cicada.
But when the branches were a few meters away from the spring and autumn cicadas, the originally lively branches began to wither in an instant, and soon regained new life in the withering.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yang was surprised.
It seems that the power of time and shadow nearby is stronger than before.
Although I don't know the reason, it seems that this cicada is not dead yet.
During Ji Yang's subsequent observation, the body of the cicada became increasingly withered, like rotten bark, filled with deathly silence.
Its back is bent as if in the final struggle.
