Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 32 Growth
The Great Elder was very satisfied with this place, and nodded while watching.After all, Yao and Feijian were young people, and they were thinking about which cabin to live in along the way.

The Great Elder took out the Stone of Life and said, "It must be connected to the earth, Huang Quan, come and help me."

The four went down to the lowest cabin.This was originally an area for storing fuel, but now it is empty, only a few piles of ashes of unknown composition, and the floor is mostly damaged, and the mud below can be seen.

Huang Quan picked up the giant sword obtained from the ogre, and cut the floor along the damaged part, exposing the whole piece of soil.

The Great Elder solemnly took out the Stone of Life, inserted the cleanly cut tree trunk into the soil, and began to pray in a low voice.

As his voice rose and fell, the Stone of Life slowly emitted light, and the wave-like halo rippled and spread, gradually covering the entire cabin.

Feijian was surprised at first, then overjoyed, and immediately concentrated on absorbing the light.Yao was a little dazed, but the light was automatically entering her body.

But Huang Quan's situation is a bit weird, his body is like a black hole, any rays of light approaching him are sucked in, and at the same time, his body is also spreading the rays of light outward, and the rays of light seem to change between entering and exiting.

The Great Elder prayed wholeheartedly and found nothing unusual.

The trunk of the small tree began to grow roots, which penetrated into the soil at a speed visible to the naked eye.The ground below the tree trunk slowly rose, and stopped rising when it reached about half a meter.

At this time, the Great Elder's face was pale, his breath became weak, and he said with joy on his face: "This place is very suitable for the growth of the Stone of Life, and it won't be long before it will be the same as the original camp."

Both Feijian and Yao were full of joy, but Huang Quan looked thoughtfully at the small tree inlaid with the stone of life.

The small tree has grown dense roots that do not match its own size, entangled with the soil, and formed an earthen platform under the body.And its tap root, I don't know how deep it has penetrated.

At this moment, the exposed roots continue to expand and contract, absorbing the nutrients in the land and feeding them into the small tree and the stone of life.

The speed at which it grows and absorbs nutrients is so fast that Huang Quan feels a little hideous.

At the moment when the little tree started to grow, Huang Quan seemed to hear a whine.Like the wailing of the earth and the rainforest, the surrounding vegetation and creatures seemed to be trembling.

As the stone of life began to shine, an invisible force spread rapidly, covering the surrounding area, and all the wailing sounds disappeared.

Huang Quan frowned slightly, his perception was astonishing, and he had a faint feeling that the disappearance of the voice was not an illusion or being blocked, but was erased by the power of the Stone of Life.

The surrounding area was indeed changing, Huang Quan casually grabbed a beetle from the soil.The worm's limbs trembled irregularly, and there was no room for escape or resistance.

The color of Huang Quan's eyes changed. Scanning it in all directions, it was found that all the organs in its body were changing rapidly, some were growing, some were twisting, and some were dying.

This change process is thousands of times faster than under strong radiation.

Seeing this worm, Huang Quan knew that the Stone of Life's process of changing the environment was not gentle and peaceful.

He also absorbed a lot of energy from the Life Stone just now. This time, because of the re-growth, the Life Stone opened up more thoroughly, and the overflowing power was more pure, allowing Huang Quan to truly perceive the nature of this power.

The energy of the Stone of Life is different from that of Shenghui. It is softer and less demanding on the body, but also more lively. The speed of transforming the body is much faster and more thorough than that of Shenghui.Essentially, the two are still of the same origin.

If Holy Radiance is lava from a volcano, then the Stone of Life is a furnace fire, which is easier to control and use.But the power and size of the lava is not at the same level as the furnace fire.

Huang Quan can withstand the baptism and transformation of Shenghui. In his view, the energy of the Stone of Life is like warm water, without any threat.But when the light of the Stone of Life circulated in his body, he suddenly discovered that some of his body transformed by the holy brilliance also responded.

The good thing is that some of the dead bodies are faintly showing signs of recovery, but the bad thing is that the formed body seems to have the possibility of further growth and changes.

The latter is not good news for Huang Quan, who has already formed many secret martial arts.This means that the power of those secret methods may be greatly reduced, or even unusable.

On the other hand, the real power of holy brilliance is much stronger than the stone of life. If it is transformed by the stone of life, it may not be a good thing. No one can predict whether the result will be evolution or degeneration.

So after Huang Quan tried a little, he began to consciously control the energy of the Life Stone in his body, keeping it within the range of not changing the revived special body tissues.

The Great Elder observed again, saw that the Stone of Life started to radiate energy steadily, finally relaxed, and said happily: "Okay, it's all done! Feijian, you can bring in people from outside. Yao, you Come with me, let's allocate the various living areas."

He glanced at Huang Quan, but didn't speak.

Huang Quan pointed to the Stone of Life and said, "I'll stay for a while and see how it changes."

The Great Elder hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and left with Yao and Feijian.

Although the Stone of Life was important, if Huang Quan wanted to snatch it, he would have had countless opportunities. He didn't have to wait until now, and he couldn't possibly be related to ogres.

As long as the ogre sees something related to the Life Stone, it must be completely destroyed, and it cannot wait for a moment.

After everyone left, Huang Quan looked at the Stone of Life quietly for a while, and then moved his gaze to the entire cabin.This space is the most directly affected by the Stone of Life, and the corresponding changes are the fastest and most obvious.

Some light-weary vines are starting to wilt, and the glowing moss is brighter.

In Huang Quan's view, this is not a good thing. The moss is excessively releasing its own life energy by emitting light, and they will die in a short time.The vines will wither more slowly, but they won't survive either.

Huang Quan reached out and pulled a metal plate from the bulkhead, it was glowing slightly, and the rust was also fading.It can be seen directly that its quality is constantly improving and becoming stronger.

After turning around in the cabin, Huang Quan determined that the Stone of Life was not friendly to the native species of the rainforest. Within its range, almost all native life either changed or became extinct.But on the other hand, it will strengthen and strengthen metals, as well as some lifeless substances.

This is really a peculiar nature, but Huang Quan is not one of those old monsters in the Imperial Academy of Sciences. He has no interest in investigating the cause of this phenomenon, and even if he is interested, he has no ability to study it.

At this time, Yao and Feijian walked in carrying a weapon rack, and chose a place against the wall to put it away.

"What is this?" Huang Quan asked.

Haruka said: "Put the weapon next to the Stone of Life, it will gradually become sharper and more durable, and the weapon contaminated by the ogre can also be slowly purified."

Huang Quan's expression was different, which sounded unscientific at all.But after seeing how the Stone of Life remodeled the deck metal plate, he couldn't figure out what is common sense in this world.

After setting up the weapon rack, the girl said to Huang Quan: "The furnace is going to be installed, can you help?"

Fei Jian seemed a little hesitant, but still shrugged and didn't make any other indications.

The three most important facilities in the settlement are the Hall of Creation, the Altar of the Ancestors, and the Furnace of Everything.

The Hall of Creation is where the Life Stone is located, where there is the most intense ray energy.The Altar of Ancestors and the Forge of All Things will be able to function accordingly after the Hall of Creation is operational.

The Altar of the Ancestors is where the Lost People communicate with the spirits of their ancestors.Many important knowledge, such as the manufacture and use of weapons, martial arts and training methods using the power of the Stone of Life, the cultivation and use of various crop medicines, etc., are obtained through the altar of ancestors.

After leaving the shelter, most settlements have no possibility of returning there, and will only continue to migrate farther and farther under the pressure of survival.Thus, in the rainforest that covers the entire world, the only way for the Lost People to gain knowledge is the Altar of Ancestors.

When performing sacrifices, this knowledge will appear directly in the consciousness of those who participate in the sacrifice.In the whole settlement, whoever can obtain this knowledge belongs to him.

However, this way of receiving knowledge is difficult to carry on the second inheritance. Some of the artistic conception and experience obtained by the priests cannot be expressed in words or actions. After being relayed to a third person, the power is completely different from the direct inheritance. As for language, it is not much better than some skills developed by the settlement people themselves.

In addition, with the increase in the number of hunting trips and the growth of age, many people's memory will gradually become blurred, and the inheritance of secret techniques will gradually be lost.This phenomenon becomes more pronounced after a woman gives birth.

After giving birth to a few children, many women will forget most of the inherited knowledge, lose the ability to hunt in the rainforest, and can only take care of children and do some chores in the settlement.

Every migration of settlements is a major threat to preserved materials.Many settlements lost all their materials in the hasty relocation, and the entire settlement was equivalent to redeveloping from the original form.

Huang Quan has no place to complain about this practice of relying on ancestor sacrifices to pass on knowledge, but he is also deeply interested in the process, which is also equivalent to a way to gain strength.

It's just that ancestor sacrifice needs to consume a lot of life stone energy and high-quality sacrifices, so it's not something you can do if you want to.If he wanted to see the ancestor sacrifice, he might have to wait a month or two.
