Lu Ning and his group soon arrived at the edge of the oasis.
Upon entering the oasis, Lu Ning discovered that the plants here were quite unusual.
Tall trees were everywhere, but the trunks of these trees looked somewhat like flesh and blood, and you could even see blood vessels and roots wriggling in the translucent trunks.
The leaves are also made of flesh and blood, but their color is a translucent green.
An Lan picked up a clump of sand and threw it onto the leaves of one of the trees.
The trees trembled slightly, then emitted wisps of dark gray mist.
Anlan immediately collected the fog and analyzed it using instruments.
He then raised an eyebrow and said, "This mist has hallucinogenic effects."
An Lan grabbed another branch, ignoring the mist emanating from it, and cut off a small section of the branch.
As the branch was cut off, Lu Ning could see silvery sap oozing out from the broken area.
Jerry glanced at the silver slime with some surprise.
"Does this tree possess spiritual power?"
An Lan glanced at the silvery slime, nodded slightly, and then studied and analyzed the small section of branch.
An Lan quickly came to a conclusion: "This tree trunk is somewhat similar to a combination of animal and plant. It has the characteristics of flesh and blood, as well as the characteristics of photosynthesis in plants. Moreover, this tree has an extremely strong tolerance to temperature and can withstand both high and low temperature environments."
"No wonder an oasis can appear in such a godforsaken place."
Everyone suddenly realized.
Everyone was quite surprised by this tree, which resembled a combination of flesh and plant matter.
However, many of them had encountered similar things before, so they weren't too surprised.
An Lan dug up a tree and put it into her spatial bracelet, intending to use it for research later.
Then the group began to walk deeper into the oasis.
Lu Ning continued to lead the way, followed by the others.
Upon entering the oasis, they discovered that the plants there were not just the flesh-and-blood trees found on the outskirts.
There were also some flowers, weeds, and other plants.
However, regardless of the type of plant, they all seem to be formed from the fusion of flesh and blood.
In fact, Lu Ning and his companions even encountered several enormous man-eating flowers.
Their mental pressure reached level five or higher.
And there were blood-red flesh vines that could devour blood, and its mental pressure exceeded the seventh level.
What surprised them most was the special plant that resembled a human brain.
The human brain emits a strong spiritual energy that can pull everything around it into a dreamlike state.
The human brain plant is only two or three meters tall, with the human brain at the very tip, and below the plant, there are many rotting corpses and bones.
Among these corpses, some were the type that Lu Ning and his group encountered in the oasis, while others were the type they encountered in the desert.
However, in addition to these, they even saw human skeletons.
It's unclear whether these were left behind by the previous corpses or by the awakened ones who ventured into the mist.
Anlan dug up several samples of all the plants, intending to take them back for research.
Once they ventured deeper into the oasis, they soon discovered the first item with a relatively higher level of mental pollution.
It was a man-made object.
A black stone tablet.
The stone tablet was engraved with death runes and exuded an eerie aura.
An Lan looked at the patterns on the stone tablet and said thoughtfully, "The style of this building is somewhat similar to that of the stone house we saw before. It probably comes from the same place as the stone house."
Ya'en looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Lu Ning, what are the words on it? Are they the same as the ones in the stone house before?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Yes, the same. It only says one sentence: 'Death is the only path to eternity.'"
Everyone was taken aback and exchanged glances.
They had seen the same words on the stone carvings in that stone house before.
"The last thing the owner of the stone house left on the stone carving seems to be this sentence, right? Could this stone tablet be related to the owner of the stone house? Did he erect it?"
Su Qi guessed.
Lu Ning shook his head: "I don't know either."
An Lan frowned and said, "It's unlikely."
Everyone was taken aback and looked at An Lan.
Osiris asked with some curiosity, "Why is it unlikely?"
"Because of the handwriting, since it is writing, each living being has its own writing habits. This handwriting is very different from the previous stone carvings."
At this point, An Lan paused and said, "However, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that it was left by the owner of the stone house. After all, the owner of the stone house seemed to have fallen ill at the end. Perhaps his handwriting changed after he fell ill. No one can be sure."
Everyone nodded slightly.
Lu Ning looked at the stone tablet, thought for a moment, and then stepped forward and placed his hand on it.
Just as Lu Ning's hand touched the stone tablet, the tablet emitted a wisp of dim yellow light.
The next moment, a dim yellow light shot into Lu Ning's body.
Lu Ning remained expressionless and calmly said, "This stone tablet is infused with the power of death; its power should be similar to that of a Saint."
Everyone: ?
Their expressions were incredibly strange.
Saint-level death power... even Yaen and his two companions could suffer greatly if caught off guard.
Not to mention others.
As a result, there was no reaction from Lu Ning at all.
However, considering that Lu Ning had even absorbed the death power of the Yellow Springs Hand.
Everyone then understood.
Just then, the ground around the stone tablet suddenly tore open.
One after another, figures rushed out.
