Chapter 1416 Breaking the Seal (Subscription Request)

While Lyon was cleaning up the battlefield, Gu Xi also received the latest news.

Under Gu Xi's protection, the Undead Excavation Team was not affected much. While other undead were fighting, they were still digging at the location designated by Gu Xi.

Now their efforts have finally paid off.

At the location designated by Gu Xi, they actually dug out an underground river.

The water in this underground river is not clear water, but a dark green color.

After hearing that the underground river had been dug out, Gu Xi immediately jumped into the underground river to check the situation.

During Gu Xi's inspection, he discovered that the water in this underground river contained a very strong vitality.

But there is a problem here, this kind of vitality is dead.

How to explain it? It feels like a cell phone is fully charged but has been turned off.

I knew the phone had power, but it felt like it was broken in my hand.

This was the feeling at the moment. Gu Xi knew that there was plenty of vitality in the river water, but not a single bit of it overflowed.

Looking at the excavated underground river, Gu Xi thought about it seriously, placed water fences in the river, and at the same time summoned some floating corpses and mermaids.

When these underwater troops appeared, Gu Xi had only one request for them.

"Swim upstream and downstream and check if there is anything unusual on the bottom of the water or on the river wall. If there is, come back to me immediately."

At this time, Gu Xi believed in his own judgment even more.

The underground river in front of us is where the Longevity Fruit Tree needs to be sealed.

What Gu Xi has to do now is to break the seal in the underground river and handle this temporary task at hand.

After receiving Gu Xi's order, the mermaid and the floating corpse swam quickly upstream.

And Gu Xi was waiting at the location where he was dug out.

While waiting, Gu Xi was not idle. He sat in the place that was dug out, took out a notebook and recorded how he discovered the seal and how he judged it.

These are all very important experiences for Gu Xi.

Gu Xi will definitely encounter seals of one kind or another in the future. The ideas and experiences gained this time will serve as guiding stones for Gu Xi in the future.

When Gu Xi was recording the information here, a mermaid also emerged from underwater.

"Sir, we found wooden nails nailed into the rocks upstream and downstream of the waterway. These wooden nails seemed to be generated automatically by tree roots and then suddenly broke off."

Gu Xi estimated that he was lucky and these wooden nails should be the seals.

Gu Xi had no way to break the seal, so the best thing to do now was to pull out the wooden nails.

"Pull it out, and then check again to see if there is anything else."

Gu Xi was not sure if these were the only seals, so he simply ordered the mermaid and the floating corpse to look for them again.

Upon hearing this, the mermaid immediately went back underwater. After a while, several floating corpses brought the wooden nails up.

These are called wooden nails, but in fact they are more than two meters long. Because they have been soaked in water full of vitality for a long time, these wooden nails are as heavy as steel.

[Ghost Tree Nail (Blue): A wooden nail formed by the roots of a tree that only grows underground. It can be used to seal enemies that are too strong to be killed.]

After taking a look at the properties of the wooden nail, Gu Xi put it aside.

What happened next shocked Gu Xi.

He thought there were only seven or eight of these ghost wood nails at most, and they could just be sealed.

But he never expected that he would find more than sixty of them, and the floating corpse was still sending up ghost wood nails.

From the looks of it, this is no longer the Seventy-two Earthly Evil Formation.

The sealing formation here is probably complete with 108 stars.

"Sir, we found this." At this time another mermaid swam up.

In her hands she held a black stone.

But upon closer inspection, Gu Xi noticed that this was not actually a stone.

Instead, it was a gem covered with a lot of algae. Because it was covered with so much algae, the original light of the gem was completely blocked.

Gu Xi reached out to take it and took a look, and found that the gem was filled with a kind of coldness.

[Yin Shui Gemstone (Green): A gemstone that has been soaked in a place full of vitality for a long time. Because of the influence of the strong vitality, this gemstone has lost all vitality and is filled with the breath of death.]

"Good stuff."

Gu Xi realized at first glance that this was a good thing and it would be very useful to him.

"How many of these gems are there?"

“There are a lot of them underwater, but when I picked up this gem, the underwater life seemed to become a lot stronger.”

"It seems this is also part of the seal. Send all these gems to the city of Aridov and we will dig up as many as we can."

Gu Xi only thought about it for a moment and knew how the Yin Shui gem appeared.

But no matter where this thing came from, it is beneficial to Gu Xi, and that is enough.

"Go down and see if there is anything else?"

So the mermaid received the order and went into the water again.

But this time they didn't find anything different.

As the 127th ghost wood tree nail was brought up, Gu Xi finally discovered that the water in the underground river in front of him had undergone subtle changes.

The vitality in the river water came alive.

Then a ding sound was heard in Gu Xi's ears.

[The seal has been completely lifted, temporary task: Longevity Fruit completed, please claim your reward! ]

Look at the information popping up in front of you.

Gu Xi turned around and walked towards the place where he had found the longevity fruit tree before.

Now that the seal had been lifted, the originally thin tree began to grow rapidly. In a blink of an eye, the small tree had grown to more than 300 meters tall.

When Gu Xi came over, the longevity fruit tree had already begun to bloom and bear fruit.

Even standing under the fruit tree, Gu Xi could smell a strong floral scent.

Looking at the thick layer of pink petals falling on the ground, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.

As all the flowers on the fruit tree fell, a fruit as big as an emerald fell heavily to the ground.

This fruit was as big as Gu Xi's head, and it scared Gu Xi when it fell down.

When the fruit fell to the ground, Gu Xi discovered that some green fruits were growing rapidly on the remaining branches.

At this time, Gu Xi took a look at the reward for the temporary task.

A tree of life?
I guess it refers to these fruits.

Thinking of this, Gu Xi took a step forward and picked up the emerald fruit that fell in front of him.

The moment he got the fruit, Gu Xi's eyelids twitched.

[Longevity Fruit (Purple): The first fruit of the Longevity Fruit Tree. After eating it, you can live 30 years longer. After that, each Longevity Fruit can only live 1 year longer.]

【Note: Longevity fruit can replenish life span and there is no restriction on its consumption.】
