Chapter 489 World Tree - Part 1
Tashan acted swiftly.
The earthy yellow light spread out from beneath his feet, like a carpet blown by the wind. Wherever it passed, the black soil trembled slightly, then rose, condensed, and hardened, transforming into neat rows of stone walls.
Moreover, it doesn't look like an ordinary stone wall, but rather a pure white stone wall with a warm, lustrous sheen, like jade.
"The craftsmanship is getting better and better." Shao Bing stood not far away, looking at the houses that were taking shape quickly, and exclaimed in admiration.
Although some of them are quite bizarre, Tashan's craftsmanship is truly unparalleled.
After the city walls and houses were built, the city's drainage system and road network system were constructed. It seems that Tashan had already studied these systems, so the construction progress was almost at full speed.
In less than half an hour, a white jade-colored city, capable of housing thousands of people, appeared in the originally empty basin.
Clearly, Tashan made huge redundancies and buffers, and even specially built a barbican, which is only found in ancient cities. It was simply too thoughtful.
"That's enough, that's enough." Fu Xiaojian patted Tashan on the shoulder.
"No one will live in all of them!"
Tashan then stopped, letting out a long breath. The basic framework of the city was in place; any inconveniences could be patched up later.
Xu Si did not participate in the construction work.
In the heart of the city, within the protective barrier.
Xu Si and Yi Yi stood facing each other, with Wan Liuchun quietly waiting beside them.
"Let's begin," Xu Si said.
They nodded in agreement.
Without wasting any words, the red rope on Wanliuchun's foot suddenly unfurled, transforming into countless red threads that plunged straight into the [Red Mansion] on Xu Si's wrist.
A low hum came from the void of the Black Building, and the ancient black tree, wrapped in layers of red silk threads, was slowly pulled out of nothingness.
Its size had shrunk considerably, and the dark golden patterns on its trunk pulsed weakly under the restraint of the red lines, like a heart struggling to maintain its last beat under a stone.
"Who is that woman?" Tower Mountain asked with great interest from the outer edge of the barrier.
Wanliuchun seemed to have heard this, and while pulling the ancient tree out of the dark building, she gave Tashan a beautiful smile in return.
However, that smile sent chills down Tashan's spine, and he almost lost control and transformed into a giant.
"Strange?" he said tremulously.
Fu Xiaojian and the others were also affected, their backs were soaked with sweat.
The main reason is that Wanliuchun's life level is too high, and they don't feel a deep connection with Xu Si because they are too familiar with him.
The pressure of facing an eighth-level eerie entity is all too clear.
Even Chen Pei, who was in Sequence 5, was finding it hard to withstand.
This is still the result of Wanliuchun suppressing her own feelings.
"Old Xu really is..." He was thinking of a suitable way to put it.
"Unpredictable!" Fu Xiaojian was certain that this strange phenomenon was definitely a high-level one.
They would be overjoyed if DouDou managed to recruit a level 3 supernatural being, but they never expected that Xu Si would manage to recruit a high-level supernatural being after only half a month of being away, especially such a stunning and extraordinary one.
Fu Xiaojian found it hard not to suspect his motives.
"Is that the World Tree?" DouDou asked, looking at the dark, bare trunk.
Relatively speaking, the lower the sequence grade, the less affected it is.
Little ones like DouDou, who don't care about Wan Liuchun's identity, were hardly affected.
"This isn't even as good as the firewood we picked up on the road, how could it be the World Tree?" Yang Fan asked casually.
As the red threads that held back spring peeled away one by one from the surface of the ancient tree, each branch was bathed in a dazzling fluorescent green light and once again enveloped the ancient tree.
"My King...you've finally arrived." The ancient tree awoke, seemingly understanding its current predicament, its voice trembling with excitement.
Xu Si couldn't help at all; he could only stand by and watch over Yi Yi.
Yi Yi's expression was very complicated.
She was bathed in a fluorescent green light.
The light emanated from her outstretched palms, like tiny vines, slowly climbing up the dark trunk of the ancient tree.
Where the light touched, the dark golden disease patterns on the tree trunk began to tremble violently, as if sensing some kind of instinctive fear.
They tried to resist, tried to fight back, but in the face of the life affinity of the elven royal bloodline, the remaining power of these plague gods was like snow under the sun, melting and fading away irresistibly.
The trunk of the ancient tree was trembling.
It wasn't because of the pain, but because it had been too long since I had felt this pure, unadulterated life energy.
The bark of those trees, which had been eroded by disease for countless years, began to crack and peel off.
It wasn't torn apart by external forces, but rather replaced from within by a new life force that pushed it open.
The black dead skin peeled off piece by piece, revealing the new, warm-looking dark brown wood underneath.
"My King..." The ancient tree's voice grew weaker and weaker, yet it carried a sense of relief and exhaustion.
It's like a chronic illness suddenly cured, like a withered tree blossoming in spring.
"Don't wait any longer, it'll take quite a while!" Wan Liuchun said to Xu Si.
It's said to be a month, so naturally there can't be results in a short time!
Xu Si remained unmoved.
He looked at Yi Yi with piercing eyes, as if he were watching his own child perform on stage for the first time.
I'm happy for her, I'm nervous for her, and I wait for her.
Xu Si's star-like eyes were now able to better perceive the changes in the ancient tree.
The dark brown wood gradually becomes warm and smooth under the fluorescent green light, like a piece of jade that has been patiently polished.
Those wounds, eroded by the disease for countless years, are healing at a visible speed in the face of the life-affirming power of each individual.
It's not a simple repair, but a complete, fundamental rebirth.
Time flowed by quietly.
The rest of the convoy tacitly avoided approaching the city center.
Tashan led his men to continue improving the city walls and various city defense systems. Since they were going to establish a survival base here, they had to be prepared to prevent strange tides.
Meanwhile, Xiao Luo was constantly pushing himself to the limit, and the more he pushed himself, the faster his progress in the sequence became.
Shao Bing led several young men to take samples and measure the depth of the water in the south, while Fu Xiaojian stood on a high point on the city wall, glancing at Xu Si's direction from time to time, and then looking away after confirming that everything was normal.
No one urged them on, and no one curiously crowded around.
They all knew this matter concerned the team's future.
They were able to enjoy the long-lost city life, but unfortunately they only had meager supplies; otherwise, they could have truly relive their past lives.
What followed was a long wait.
One by one, we relentlessly activate the motherly spirit of the ancient tree.
While keeping an eye on Yi Yi's situation, Xu Si continued to improve himself in the illusion of the Black Building. Even though life had become a little easier now, he did not slack off at all.
