What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 488
488 The Wood Spirit Root Is Here (1)
His arrival was noticed by the cultivators on the peak. The elder guarding the foot of the mountain flew over and bowed. “Greetings, Elder Song.”
“Brother Song, you’re here!”
Fu Yuhua landed with a smile on his face. “I saw the verdant sword Qi dyeing the green sky just now. I think you must have mastered your swordsmanship. Congratulations.”
“Thanks. What’s going on here?”
Song Shi only had eyes for the Fallen God Valley.
“In the beginning, after killing the demons that appeared, we quickly set up the Five Elements Demon Suppression Array. It’s still calm now. Other than the demons that occasionally want to escape, we didn’t encounter any big trouble.”
As Fu Yuhua spoke, she brought Song Shi to the lake. Through the lake, Song Shi could see that there were many plants at the bottom. It was the same as the first time he saw it. There was only an additional layer of lake water.
“The power in the valley is too strong. Even the Array Formation set up by the five factions can’t affect a single blade of grass or tree inside.”
Fu Yuhua explained awkwardly to Song Shi’s surprise.
Song Shi felt that this place was very impressive and was eager to give it a try. “Can I go in and take a look?”
“It has its own space inside. It’s very dangerous,” Fu Yuhua emphasized.
“I want to experience it. Don’t worry about me. Help me make an incision.”
Song Shi looked at the bottom of the water. “Don’t you want to find someone to go down and explore the way?”
“You’re really bold.”
Fu Yuhua couldn’t do anything about Song Shi. “I can let you down, but if you’re in danger, I can’t help you.”
“I have a way to save my life.”
Song Shi stared at the vegetation at the bottom of the lake. He felt that the verdant color was a little similar to the Dian Cang Sword Technique.
“Alright, this is some information about this forbidden area that our sect has. You can set off after reading it.”
Fu Yuhua took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Song Shi. However, the latter said that he wanted to take a look while walking.
“I’m impressed. This is the first time I’ve met someone as fearless as you.”
Fu Yuhua tapped on the surface of the lake, and a circle of ripples spread out. The lake water seemed to have come alive, and it rushed to the sides. The thousand-foot-long lake water formed a path until it reached an invisible space.
This place was only a few feet away from the grass in the valley, but the lake water could not fall no matter what. Song Shi stretched out his hand, but he was not hindered.
It could not stop living things.
He subconsciously wanted to touch the tip of a tree, but half of his arm could not touch it. It was as if the distance between them was like a natural chasm.
“Haha, I told you to take a look at the situation first before going in.”
Fu Yuhua laughed. Clearly, he knew why this was happening.
At this moment, Song Shi felt his power draining away. It was a little like being in the Land of Extinction, but it was not draining his Nomological power, but his life force.
“This place can devour life force!”
Song Shi was shocked.
Not only his vitality, but his thoughts would also be devoured.
Fu Yuhua reminded him, “Don’t stay inside for too long. Don’t get too close to the plants. After you’ve walked around the periphery to experience it, come back quickly.”
“I know, this place is quite similar to…”
As he thought this, space twisted and he was swallowed.
He subconsciously stabilized his body. When he reacted, Song Shi hovered in the Void and appeared above a primitive forest.
Looking up, Song Shi’s pupils constricted.
In the outside world, he could vaguely see a lake-like surface of water. Fu Yuhua seemed to have become a giant, but he realized that the ratio of himself was shrinking.
When he lowered his head, he realized that the small tree he had seen had turned into a towering tree. The grass he had wanted to touch had turned into a thousand-foot-tall tree. He was still dozens of feet away from the tip of the tree. No wonder he could not touch it. His hand was so long.
“What’s going on? The Law of Space?”
Song Shi found it rather mystical. He glanced at the Jade Slip and thought that there would be an answer inside. He did not need to investigate it from the beginning.
As his thoughts entered it, he quickly browsed through the information recorded. Then, he revealed a look of realization.
The Fallen God Valley was a space of its own. What the outside world saw was only a projection of the space in the valley. It was roughly 100 to 1.
In other words, the inch-long grass that was seen outside was ten feet tall here. If it looked like a ten-feet-tall tree, it would be hundreds of feet tall here. Moreover, what was revealed outside was only the tip of the iceberg.
“What a magical place. It doesn’t seem to be formed naturally.”
As Song Shi pondered, he browsed through the origins of the Fallen God Valley. It was rumored that a god had fallen here. The power of laws changed the space here. The space was compressed, and plants had the power to devour life.
At the same time, when he approached the tree, his vitality was directly devoured by the tree. He became feeble, but the tree became filled with vitality.
“However, the Devouring of Life Force of plants is still different from the Devouring of Nomological power of the entire space in the Land of Extinction.”
Song Shi approached the tree with interest. The vitality in his body was draining away at an even faster speed. It was as if he did not feel anything as he forcefully touched a leaf.
His fingers suddenly turned pale and quickly lost their luster. The devouring power directly increased by ten times. Song Shi plucked the leaf out of discomfort.
The devouring power suddenly disappeared. The leaves began to wither and turn yellow. The vitality contained in them was actually draining away. In the blink of an eye, they turned into dried leaves and ashes.
” The plants have to have connections to the roots in order to devour life!”
Song Shi was deep in thought. He landed in the valley and began to approach the depths. The surrounding vegetation became lusher. Even if he did not touch it, his vitality was rapidly depleting and his temples turned gray.
When he looked up again, he could no longer see the situation outside. Song Shi browsed through the information in the Jade Slip as he headed deeper into the valley.
White bones could be seen at the bottom from time to time. It could be seen that many living beings had died in here.
