Chapter 138 Tree King, Riverside

“Why isn’t it daybreak yet?”

Peng Min was a little confused: “Even if this is another hemisphere, we have come so far, and so much time has passed. No matter what, it should be daylight, right?”

Yang Chen also frowned slightly: “Could this be the Arctic and Antarctic Circles mentioned in the illusionary knowledge? Is this area currently in polar day or polar night?”

“I remember this, but shouldn’t the area where the polar day or polar night is located be a very cold area?”

Peng Min said: “It’s not too cold here, the temperature is still around 10 degrees.”

This is also something that Yang Chen finds difficult to understand.

“Let’s move forward a little further and get rid of the war completely first,” he said.

Peng Min suddenly became worried: “If the knowledge in the illusion is all true, if the earth is round, will we return to the black sand land… or wander in the Gobi Desert?”

“Probably not that fast.”

Yang Chen felt that this world shouldn’t be that small. At their speed, it would probably take years to go around it.

The two ate something on top of the tombstone and then continued on their way.

The huge tombstone passed through deep mountains and swamps in the darkness, crossed the endless grassland, and climbed over one mountain after another.

Finally, more than ten hours passed, and it was already the fourth day since they set out from Yinghu Oasis.

Judging from the time, it should be around the morning of the fourth day.

But the sky was still dark, and there was no sign of daylight coming.

“This day…will probably never get brighter again, right?” Peng Min was worried.

Yang Chen looked at the black drizzle that was still falling outside the space barrier, his expression uncertain: “Do you remember what Huyan Lingxi asked Zhou Ren to bring us? The Black Wind Clan plans to transform this world.”

“Did the Black Wind Clan succeed?”

Peng Min’s heart skipped a beat, and he said in disbelief: “That kind of transformation is not just a simple environmental transformation, but it can also change the world and make our world no longer have daytime? Does the clan have such terrifying power?”

She couldn’t help but question: “According to what we learned from the illusion, isn’t the sun in the daytime a star far away in the sky? Does the clan have the power to destroy stars? Or do they have means that we cannot understand and directly cover our world?”

“I don’t know if any clan has such means, but I don’t know about the Black Wind Clan either. This clan definitely has support from outside the region.”

Yang Chen clenched his fist, but soon loosened it helplessly.

He really wanted to go back and kill everyone in the Black Wind Clan, and chop into pieces all those who had a huge impact on his life.

But he simply didn’t have that kind of strength, and going back would just be suicide.

Not to mention destroying the entire Black Wind Clan by one person, even if he just participated in the war, it would be difficult to gain any benefits.

“These damn outsiders, our world is already so barren, yet they still want to continue destroying our world!”

There was anger in his eyes, but he had no place to vent his anger.

“There is light ahead.” Peng Min said suddenly.

Yang Chen also saw it. There was light a few thousand meters away, but it didn’t look like fire.

“I don’t feel any danger, let’s go over and take a look first.”

He immediately controlled the tombstone to move in that direction.

Soon, they could see clearly that people were coming and going under a huge tree.

That giant tree was very unusual, it actually exuded the aura of a seventh-level monster, which shocked and awe-inspiring both of them.

There is an invisible barrier above the giant tree, blocking the black rain falling from the sky.

However, the barrier did not cover all directions. It only blocked the rain and did not stop people from entering or leaving.

“Can the monsters here coexist peacefully with humans?” Peng Min was a little surprised.

That giant tree is probably about three hundred meters tall. Although it looks motionless now, since it exudes a weird aura, it can definitely move.

What is unbelievable is that humans can move freely under the trees without seeming to be forced at all.

“I’ve heard before that there are a lot of spirits in the mountains. I’m afraid they have a special way of life here.”

Yang Chen said: “Let’s settle down nearby. It’s enough to know that there are people nearby. We are not short of supplies for the time being, so there is no need to rush to contact other people.”

Although they might not be able to defeat the old tree by relying solely on super evolution, with the [Invisible Rail Nail Gun] in hand, he did not take the mere seventh-level monster seriously.

That kind of giant tree shouldn’t be immune to physical attacks. As long as it’s not completely immune to physical attacks, it’s nothing compared to a nail gun.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Peng Min nodded.

Yang Chen immediately changed direction, and controlled the tombstone to move away from the big tree. There was obviously someone keeping watch under the tree, as if someone had noticed the movement in the distance.

“It may be a strange spirit, but Lord Tree King did not issue a warning, so it should be just a low- to medium-level spirit. Don’t worry about it.”

“I was frightened by what happened before. This damn sky has never gotten brighter since it got dark. I’m worried that some powerful monster that we can’t imagine has been born.”

“If it’s a monster, that’s fine. I’m more worried that there’s something wrong with our world.”

“Something is wrong with the world? That shouldn’t be the case, right?”

“Who knows, I hope I’m overthinking it.”

……

In the darkness, the tombstone kept moving, quickly moving away from the giant tree.

Soon, the huge tombstone stopped near a river.

The river is only seven or eight meters wide, and the water is quite turbulent. Judging from the traces on both sides of the river, it is not the real rainy season yet, and the river water should rise by then.

“This is it.”

Yang Chen and Peng Min jumped to the ground, put away the tombstone, and then found a relatively flat place to set up shelter about 40 to 50 meters away from the river.

Because there is no rush now, he chose a lifestyle. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, they should live here for a long time.

With their current strength, there is no need to hide anymore unless there are powerful enemies nearby.

The only things that can threaten them are higher-level beings or war.

The palm-sized model-like strange object shelter merged silently into the ground, and then the surrounding ground began to creep rapidly.

A mossy ‘hill’ slowly rises.

It is called a small hill, but in fact it looks more like a huge rock sticking out of the ground.

There are many vines on top of this huge rock. Some of those vines are real, which are the original vines on the ground that have been pushed up.

But some of them are disguised as shelters, filling in the extra areas to make this “boulder” look more natural and not too abrupt.

In front of the boulder, a huge dam was slowly taking shape, solidifying the ground and making the ordinary soil extremely hard.

However, there is also dry moss in the courtyard, which allows the entire shelter to blend perfectly into the forest and not be easily discovered.

In addition, it is dark now, and unless you have excellent eyesight, it is difficult to find the shelter from a distance.

“Plant the [Cage Fruit Tree] first, hopefully it will survive.”

After setting up the shelter, Yang Chen directly took out the pig cage fruit tree that was stored inside the Ruyi Zhenkong Pearl.

Because of time constraints, the Nepenthes tree was bent. Although it did not break, it was definitely damaged and cracked in many places.

“Let me do it.”

Peng Min started digging with a painful look on his face. He used the space barrier to quickly make a very deep hole in the ground, and then put the roots of the cage fruit tree into it.

Then, she used the space barrier to move the soil to fill the pit. The remaining soil was used to pave the courtyard and widen the courtyard formed by the shelter.

Previously, because there were few trees in Yinghu Oasis, the Nepenthes trees looked very out of place there.

But there are many trees here, including many big trees, and the Nepenthes tree is not conspicuous at all.

Of course, because most of the surrounding trees are twisted, if someone gets close, they will still find the Nepenthes tree special.

“Do you want to add some fertilizer?” She looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen nodded, took out the bionic liquid water bag, and poured the liquid inside around the cage fruit tree.

“There are a lot of dead wood here, which will make it much easier to make a fire in the future.” Peng Min said. This was the only thing that made her happy.

When she was in Yinghu Oasis, she used the dry firewood she had stored at the beginning. Later, when the wood was burned out, she could only use the hay by the lake.

Finally, even the hay was burned out, so she asked Hu Erfang to get dry firewood from other places, but it was always troublesome every time.

It’s different here. Wood can be found everywhere and can never be used up.

“Go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I’ll make some cooked food.”

As soon as he settled down, Peng Min couldn’t wait to study food.

Yang Chen thought of the knowledge he had learned in the illusion before, and his heart moved. He suddenly picked up some fresh branches around him, ready to verify what he had learned before.
