Gene Evolution Epoch - Chapter 40
Chapter 40 Ancient Spirit Channeling Tree
At the entrance of D City Base, Wu Tian and Strength King traveled together, and everyone in the base recovered.
“Very good, looks like you didn’t turn them into zombies? … Lord Corpse King!”
“Haha, brother, look at what you said. It’s all your people. I’m the most obedient!”
The Corpse King patted his chest and promised, completely demonstrating his loyalty.
“Stop flattering me. Take me to that tree!”
“Alright, brother!”
Behind Wu Tian, the Corpse King was talking like a child.
“Can you please stop for a while! … You’re making my brain hurt, kiss!”
“Alright, brother!”
‘”Don’t call me brother!” Wu Tian felt a little embarrassed when he saw the two-meter-tall man calling him brother.
“That’s called, boss … Master?”
“… You should shut up!”
…
After leaving the base and advancing at full speed for half an hour, he finally saw several backbones.
“Big brother, look, it’s that one!”
The towering ancient tree came into view. Wu Tian and the Corpse King jumped onto the top of the tree trunk, and the hole in the tree came into view.
“Wait here, I’ll go down and take a look!”
“Boss, I’m going down as well!”
“Scram, you’re so big, stop blocking the tree hole!”
“…”
Looking at his current figure, the Corpse King was simple and honest.
Within the tree hole, the underground palace was visible. It was covered by the tree trunk, forming its own body. In the center of the underground palace, where was the main root of the ancient tree.
A large amount of colorless liquid continuously exuded from the roots, flowing through the underground palace, forming a small river.
He stretched out his hand and took some liquid. Like an evolved crystal, the liquid seeped into Wu Tian’s body through his pores.
Like a bottomless abyss, every inch of Wu Tian’s skin began to frantically absorb the liquid secreted by the tree roots. Soon, the entire river was sucked dry.
“It’s actually so gentle! … It seems like this tree root is the reason!”
The ancient tree absorbed the evolutionary energy and rainwater from the outside world. It filtered the violent evolutionary energy through its own system and transformed it into an evolutionary liquid.
It was precisely because of this that the Corpse King was reborn, and at the same time, he had embarked on a special path of evolution. His luck was shocking! Unexpectedly, it was forcibly replenished with incomplete genes.
“It’s just that this river has this kind of power. What about this tree root?”
After pondering for a moment, Wu Tian walked towards the enormous tree root, where the evolved liquid came from.
As soon as his hands touched the tree root, that strong instinct appeared again.
The suction force of his palm was once again produced, and Wu Tian forcefully gathered his will, not being swallowed by instinct.
His body didn’t feel anything, but the roots were shrinking at the speed of the naked eye.
“Don’t do this! … I’m in pain! … Human! … Stop!”
Suddenly, the underground palace trembled, and the roots on the surrounding walls seemed to be alive.
A thick tree trunk slashed towards Wu Tian’s arm, trying to stop Wu Tian from continuing to absorb it.
He hurriedly retracted his arm. The tree root had shrunk by more than half. The tree root danced and looked down at the hole above his head. Wu Tian gathered enough strength on his legs to jump with all his might.
“Holy shit! Chrysanthemum!”
Before they could reach the entrance of the cave, that thing actually shrank like an anus.
“Sigh, where’s the entrance? Where’s the entrance!”
When the Corpse King saw that the entrance to the cave was gone, he was stunned, but then he smiled.
“Hehe, he’s not here, there’s no one around, he’s still in the jungle … Bye!”
After saying that, Corpse King jumped down from the ancient tree and ran away. His direction was exactly the opposite of D City Base’s. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never come back.
…
Within the underground palace, the dancing roots, three layers inside and three layers outside, protected the entire tree root like a sarcoma.
“Human, you’re going too far!”
Just as Wu Tian was curious, a face formed on the tree root and he began to speak, startling Wu Tian.
The zombie opened its mouth and could explain that it was originally a human.
This tree …
“What are you? Do you know that animals and plants are not allowed to become essence after the founding of the People’s Republic!”
“Human, you’re going too far! … I didn’t hurt you, why did you devour me!”
This tree root wasn’t interested in Wu Tian’s cold jokes at all.
“Sorry, I don’t know either! … How about you open the chrysanthemum and let me out?”
“Since you were brought here by Master, forget about it this time … You are very strong and have already robbed me of my abilities. I hope you can protect my Master. He is too innocent!”
“Master? Who … that guy!”
Wu Tian didn’t know who the owner of the tree was, but according to what he meant, the Corpse King outside was his owner.
“Master and I are both infected by the virus. I have obtained a powerful evolution. I have gained consciousness, while Master has lost his rationality …”
“I used my ability to filter out Master’s virus and perfect his body, but I am no longer able to accompany Master for a long time!”
The root of the human face tree looked at Wu Tian and sent out his request.
“If you can accompany my master on my behalf, I am willing to sacrifice all my strength!”
After saying that, the main roots around this face were exposed, and his sincerity was impressive.
“Hmm? … I refuse. Open the chrysanthemum and let me out! … Since I have eaten a lot of your energy, don’t worry, he will be my friend in the future!”
To Wu Tian, there were very few people he could call friends. This loyal tree spirit had successfully moved Wu Tian and sought limitless possibilities for his master.
“Thank you, take my energy!”
“No need, open the chrysanthemum and let me out!”
Wu Tian thought to himself. He felt that he was in his buttocks and was feeling very uncomfortable. He was in a hurry to get out of here.
“Then human, I have another request!”
“Holy shit! … You …”
Almost exploded. This was a bit of a slap on the nose. However, Wu Tian confirmed that this thing was definitely the Corpse King’s.
“Tell me, I promise you, can you open the chrysanthemum and let me breathe?”
“… Alright!”
Suppressing his displeasure, Wu Tian said. Following the tree root’s agreement, the entrance of the cave really opened like a chrysanthemum.
“No matter how many times I look at it, it’s still a little heart-piercing! … My heart! It hurts!”
“Human, can you give me a drop of your blood?”
“… What is it?”
Hearing the tree root’s request, Wu Tian was a little curious.
“Your blood! One drop is enough!”
“Are you sure? You’ll die!”
This was the first time someone needed their own blood. It was very dangerous to know that their genes had been compiled. Other than Xiong Li, all other creatures had died.
“I’m sure, please give me a drop of your blood!”
“Can you tell me the reason? What good is my blood to you!?”
“My instinct tells me that your blood can fully unlock my potential!”
“Really? I gave it to you!”
After the transaction was successful, Wu Tian handed over a drop of his blood to the tree spirit. Then, he left the cave entrance and jumped out of the cave.
Not long after Wu Tian left, with a shrill roar, the leaves of the ancient tree turned yellow and then withered …
“Alas, I told you, my flesh and blood are poisonous! … I pity you, a big tree that has become a spirit!”
