Epoch of Twilight

Chapter 236: The heart of wisdom

Views:

In the past few days, the smell of corpses at the Wisdom Tree has begun to gradually dissipate.

The corpses that were originally piled up like a hill have turned into a huge mountain of bones with an average height of about five meters and covering a radius of fifty or sixty meters.

The entire gray giant clan, old, weak, young and strong, are all here, but at this time, their flesh and blood have been consumed, and only a few scattered bones are left.

In this mountain of bones, a large tree with a spiral trunk is standing alone, its lush leaves and lush branches exuding rich vitality.

The picture of life and death gives people a strong spiritual impact. Perhaps the tree of wisdom itself implies that the rise of an intelligent race will be accompanied by the extinction of countless races.

Watered with a large amount of flesh and blood, this wisdom tree has become several times larger than when it was first seen.

From the original height of eight or nine meters and a diameter of less than forty centimeters, it has now grown to a height of twenty meters and a thickness of more than one meter. Even the color of the pattern on the surface has become more eye-catching and gorgeous, exuding charming colors.

Luo Yuan looked at the wisdom tree and sighed softly!

This tree is a miracle of nature, a source of wisdom, and a family treasure even for humans.

Relying on mankind's huge resource collection ability, this wisdom tree can continue to evolve in a very short period of time. It can easily evolve to the green level or even higher.

It can greatly evolve human intelligence and lead to an explosion of science and technology! In terms of value, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric is, it looks dim in front of it.

It's a pity that this place is located in a remote mountainous area, and the wisdom tree is huge, so it can't be taken away at all. And if they are left here, it won't be long before another intelligent race appears.

He could only do something that was a waste of natural resources.

He pulled out his sword, jumped up onto the Bone Mountain, and walked towards the Wisdom Tree with light steps.

The Wisdom Tree, which was not eating, appeared peaceful and harmless, and did not react at all to his approach.

After a while, he was standing in front of the trunk of the wisdom tree. He took a deep breath and pulled out his sword. The light of the sword flashed like a rainbow through the sun. After cutting it out, he took advantage of the root of the tree. Before the riot, he took several steps in succession and left here quickly.

As soon as he stopped, the trunk of the wisdom tree fell with a "rumbling", and a large number of tree roots began to roll violently like a giant python burned by flames.

The Bone Mountain suddenly seemed to be boiling. Countless bones were thrown into the air by the thick tree roots, and the scene was full of noise.

Luo watched from a distance, watching the wisdom tree's final struggle. His face was expressionless and he couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling in his heart.

The roots of the tree kept tangled and danced, and due to the lack of energy support from the trunk, its movements became weak after only a few minutes. After a while, the entire tree roots drooped to the ground like a dead snake, without the strength to struggle anymore.

He then walked towards the fallen tree trunk.

He saw an incredible scene. In a short period of time, the leaves of the wisdom tree had lost their oily color and became a little withered and yellow. The wisdom fruit between the leaves also began to shrivel and shrink rapidly.

Luo Yuan's face was not surprised but happy: "Sure enough, the result is the same as the detection technique."

This is a means of self-preservation and continuation unique to the wisdom tree. Once it suffers unbearable damage, most of the nutrients will shrink to a certain core of the tree.

After the crisis is over, through the accumulated nutrients, it will grow roots again and regain its vitality. This is a sudden change among plants. If it were other people, it might have missed it, but unfortunately, it met Luo Yuan.

… …

While it was still some time before the tree's nutrients shrank to its core, he took out a clean piece of "Wailing Grass", stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The spicy taste exploded in his mouth as the grass blades were ground. After a while, he His face stiffened for a moment, and large beads of cold sweat fell from his forehead.

Since he tried it last time, he has found that the effect of this kind of will training is very amazing. The next day, he can clearly feel the progress of his will, and in the confrontation with pain, his will has become more supple and docile.

Even somewhat unexpectedly, he found that even his perception had slightly expanded.

This obvious progress undoubtedly made Luo Yuan happy.

However, Luo Yuan no longer dared to take any bold steps due to the painful lessons he learned before. The dosage he took now was greatly reduced, and the most he could do now was to chew it slowly like a snack during his free time.

The effect of this kind of exercise is naturally far inferior to that of the first time, but it is safer and can be done anytime and anywhere.

Due to slow absorption, the pain lasted for nearly half an hour before slowly subsided. He touched the sweat on his forehead, exhaled gently, then sat on the ground and began to slowly regain his energy.

He could barely bear such severe pain without condensing his willpower to fight against it, but the energy consumption was huge. After each time, he felt exhausted, as if he had fought a high-intensity fierce battle.

After resting for a while, he stood up and looked at the wisdom tree. At this time, most of its leaves had detached, the trunk had become crispy and dry, and even the trunk had shrunk several times.

No one would have thought that this tree fell down less than an hour ago.

Seeing that the tree body was still changing slowly, he waited patiently for a while, until the lines on the tree body were completely squeezed together and merged into one. He just picked up the knife and walked towards it.

Luo Yuan walked to the incision of the tree trunk and used a knife to cut off pieces of wood fibers. He looked cautious, lest he damage the core inside. He is not in a hurry and can wait patiently for the most delicious fruits to appear.

However, although he was cautious, his speed was not slow at all.

His knife almost formed a phantom, pieces of wood quickly detached from the tree. Each piece was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the size and thickness were almost exactly the same, as if they came from the same mold.

Even a senior chef from a five-star hotel would probably hide his face in shame when he saw Luo Yuan's knife skills!

At this time, Luo Yuandao paused slightly and stopped.

A hole the size of a marble appeared in the tree. At the same time, a refreshing fragrance gradually spread from the hole. A trace of joy flashed on his face. After observing the hole carefully for a while, the speed of the knife began to rise. Slow down.

As time went by, the holes became larger and larger, and the aroma became stronger and stronger. Through the holes, several wooden sieve tubes interlaced with each other like blood vessels appeared on the inner wall.

His movements became gentler, and after ten minutes, the inner cavity was completely exposed. Dozens of wooden sieve tubes inside were closely connected to a strange tissue.

Luo Yuan just glanced at it and couldn't help but change his expression.

He couldn't help but be shocked, because this tissue was very similar to the human brain. Not only were the groove circuits similar, but the shape was also roughly the same. If it weren't for the fact that it was purple in color and much smaller in size, Luo Yuan even thought that this was human brain. brain.

He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Looking at this "brain" that exuded an alluring aura, his eyes flickered. After a long time, he reached out and took it off. As soon as it fell off, the tree body shook slightly. , there will be no more vitality.

The "brain" is about the size of an apple, just grasped in one hand, with a soft texture and a hint of toughness, and the surface seems to be covered with a layer of skin.

He used an identification technique:

"Heart of Wisdom"

"Rarity: Dark Blue."

"Weight: 200g."

"Texture: Intelligent special type item."

"Additional abilities: Wisdom +1; there is a very small probability of special mutations."

"Evaluation: This is an extremely rare heart of the wisdom tree. It concentrates the essence of the entire wisdom tree. Its value is immeasurable. As long as it is swallowed and eaten, it can further stimulate the cerebral cortex and enhance wisdom. Fifteen points and It is valid below fifteen points and there is a very small chance of special mutations.”
