Bright!

The tree grew very quickly, but it was not huge. Perhaps the vitality and energy in the black spirit snake's body could not supply a tree that was too big.

It is also possible that the lake cannot support it.

In short, the growth of this tree had stopped when Bai Jing was stunned.

"This tree... this tree is... Guyinduo?"

Xu Le was floating on the water. He already knew about Bai Jing's arrival, but he didn't care enough to kill a level 4 ancient god species while chatting leisurely and elegantly with a girl.

Regarding Bai Jing's question, Xu Le pinched his chin and pondered.

"To be precise, it shouldn't be the Tree of Ancient Sound."

Although it is very similar, and Xu Le uses a lot of ancient Yinduo's spiritual power, the tree in front of him is indeed not the tree of Guyinduo.

He also mixed a lot of extra things into it.

For example, Red Moon Psionics, Red Evil, and some weird things.

"Then what is it?"

"Calling it the Tree of Darkness doesn't fit its characteristics. I haven't thought of its name or its function yet."

"What does it do? What can a tree do?"

"The role of the tree is, of course, to purify the world and produce fruits by the way."

"Purify the world? Birth fruit?"

Bai Jing didn't quite understand what Xu Le said, but she soon saw a scene that shocked her.

Xu Le stretched out his hand towards the tree, and the tree began to exude a pleasant emotion as if it felt Xu Le.

"Is this, Anima?"

As a guide, Bai Jing is pretty good, and she also knows something about anima.

But right now, this tree is actually emitting anima?

That is something that can only be born from the strong emotional desires of human beings...

"Yeah, anima, this is my area of ​​expertise, I can't do it in a stronger state yet.

But if it was just anima, I should be able to give it a try. "

Xu Le gently touched the tree. This unknown blue tree began to grow green leaves and flowers the color of the red moon. Finally, the flowers withered and fruits appeared.

A fruit that is not an ancient Yinduo fruit.

"fruit?"

"I'll give it to you. This is also the first time I've made it. It's just a work of inspiration. It can't be sold for money. At least those fruit appraisers will definitely not be able to recognize this kind of thing."

Watching Xu Le pick the fruit and hand it to herself.

Bai Jing always had an unreal feeling.

Xu Le gave himself an Guyinduo fruit? Why does she feel something is wrong?

"This is... our first meeting, how can I be so embarrassed?"

"It is difficult to trade things that are not recognized by the market. After all, not many people dare to eat items related to Guyinduo.

Just keep it to yourself. "

Bai Jing finally accepted the fruit, but the Xu Le in front of her seemed more and more outrageous.

"Who are you?"

"I once thought of a name, but that name was too unpleasant, but if I use it now, it is very suitable.

You can call me tree shepherd. "

"Treeman?"

“He who herds trees is a tree shepherd.”

Looking at Xu Le, Bai Jing was confused. She didn't even notice that Xu Le was walking on the lake.

After returning to the camp with the fruit, Bai Jing didn't sleep well all night.

…

The next morning, everyone woke up and the team was ready to set off again.

But Bai Jing, the guide, was in very bad shape.

The warrior's physique prevented her from being exhausted after not sleeping all night, but she was indeed in a trance.

The fruit in my arms is still there, which means everything last night is true.

But how is that possible?

If you think about it carefully, it seems nonsense. How can one person control a tree? And then a new fruit was born?

"Tree Shepherd? It feels like some kind of cult wanted by the Red Moon Temple."

"Xiao Bai? What did you do? The brothers are almost ready, why don't you leave? There is still a long drive from the mission destination."

"Oh, okay, sorry, I was thinking about something."

Bai Jing glanced at Xu Le, who was sitting at the back of the bus. This guy looked like he was fine, really.

"Okay, get ready to go."

When passing through the wasteland ahead, the patches of black ash on the ground attracted the attention of many people.

"It looks like the corpses of earth-boring insects. There are a lot of them. Is there a fire here?"

"Fart, how can the wasteland catch fire? Do stones and sand burn on their own?"

"Then why are they all burnt?"

"Maybe it's too dry?"

"Neuropathy."

The discussion among several people naturally reached Bai Jing's eyes, and she suddenly remembered the earth-boring worm meat that Xu Le brought back last night.

That kind of burnt...

"Does he still have the ability to fire? What is his profession?"

No one could give her an answer.

The repaired classic car drove for nearly an hour, and Xu Le, who had always been uninterested in the surroundings, suddenly became energetic.

"This...this is!"

A city full of tall buildings!

This is a truly modern city, and it looks more advanced than the big cities in its previous life.

At least in the previous Magic City, almost all high-rise buildings were connected by overpasses.

But here it is.

Although some of the overpasses were broken, they did not collapse.

It's just that due to time, the building is covered with green plants, moss, and things like wall-creepers.

"Incredible architectural style. What was the wild once like?"

Seeing this, Xu Le was already sure.

Deep Blue Star must have experienced a glorious civilization era before the dark age.

Maybe there is extraordinary, but it is definitely not just extraordinary, nor is it like the Red Moon Temple, which becomes an organization that subdues other cities by force.

"Is it beautiful? The legendary Second Era Empire was a behemoth two eras earlier than ours. It is said that they existed far earlier than the birth of the Red Moon.

In unimaginable times, their buildings could endure for thousands of years and are still standing today. "

"The former empire? The second era..."

Xu Le knew that there was a time difference of about 400 years between the Third Era and the present.

He didn't know the specific time gap between the third and second eras.

In the era thousands of years ago, could buildings have reached this level?

In the ancient ruins outside Zion City, Xu Le once saw some traces of the ancient empire.

What does the ancient empire in his mind look like?

Ancient stone castles, knights on horses, old buildings, windmills, water towers, and the escaped princess...

But what does the ancient empire look like in front of us?

Advanced, unimaginably advanced.

Judging from the colors still retained on the walls of the building, this should be a dynamic era, a very dynamic era.

"People living in this era must be very happy." A new mercenary like Xu Le said in a daze.

"Maybe people who once lived here could eat beef every day? What a luxurious life."

"Stop being so worthless. The people of Red Moon Temple and Zion just eat beef every day, read more and masturbate less."

"Depend on……"

Just as Xu Le thought, he was not the only one who was feeling emotional.

But compared to these people, he was more emotional.

Because I have seen the world in my previous life and know how prosperous it once was.

And here, he actually saw a large shopping mall projection screen. Of course it had been damaged over the years, but all signs showed that this was an era of electronic technology.

"It's so desirable."

Xu Le touched the plant at hand and felt a little happy.

Bai Jing was about to remind Xu Le not to touch things here casually, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

Maybe he didn't care about the touch at all.

"Okay, we have reached our destination now. The area responsible for mission 1033 is about 4 kilometers in diameter. If we go deeper, it will be mission 1034.

That mission is carried out by other teams. Our job is to eliminate the danger in mission area 1033.

The mission team is divided into groups of 10 people. You can form your own groups. I will lead new people here, just like before.

From now on, the mission of exploring the outer lands begins! "

Xu Le, who has been away from the team, is a little confused. Is there something missing in this mission interpretation?

"Um, let me interrupt. After the tasks are divided into teams, is there no other information?"

"Any more information?"

"For example, when will we gather?"

"Let's meet again when the task is completed." Bai Jing was a little surprised. Xu Le was really new to the task.

"Isn't there a time limit for completing the task?" Xu Le's eyes flashed.

It seems that for him, there is no specific requirement for the mission time, which is really incredible.

"What time requirements are there for this kind of pioneering mission? As long as it doesn't exceed 2 months. If the Kuroshio breaks out and you're still in the wild, wouldn't that mean you're going to die?"

"2 months?"

Hearing this time, Xu Le was a little embarrassed...

Once upon a time, he naively thought that at the lighthouse, the night watchmen were at least human beings.

Only the people in Xiacheng District are the ones who are not treated as human beings.

But compared with Tianrui Lifeng, which is known as the most developed mercenary industry, it seems that the night watchman is not a human being.

At that time, the task time of the night watchman was compressed to 3 days. If it was not completed, it had to be continued and divided into two times. There was also pressure on personnel.

The final result is also obvious, a new generation replaces the old...

“No wonder Brother Shu highly praised the barbaric policies of Tinrui Lifeng after he came to Tinrui Lifeng.

Although the policies here are very barbaric, they are at least humane.

They did not use people as livestock. Although they were barbaric, they were still people, not cattle and horses..."

"Ding Ke? What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Xu Le waved his hands, suddenly feeling a little bad.

There are only 4 cities in the world, and it's really too bad that they are still under such high pressure.

"I just feel that the saying that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles is quite reasonable."

"I don't know where you got all these emotions. Okay, come with me. You are also a newcomer. We are on the same team."

"good."

Bai Jing took the initiative to let Xu Le join her team, which was actually selfish.

The first thing is that she wants to know Xu Le better.

Another factor is Xu Le's strength. As a guide, she was able to survive six consecutive years of field missions.

Of course, it is very important to look at people. Xu Le's strength will be the safety guarantee for the entire team.

The premise is...

"I hope this guy Ding Ke won't cause trouble."

Although she had such thoughts, Bai Jing also knew that she couldn't control Xu Le at all.

Judging from Xu Le's previous behavior, he is really a guy who likes to seek death.

"They went to the left and center, let's start with the building on the right."

Bai Jing, as the team leader, walked at the front.

Xu Le, with Ding Ke, mingled in the middle of the team.

"There are so many tall buildings here..." said a young mercenary.

He looks a bit younger than Xu Le, at least eighteen or nineteen years old.

Are you going to be a mercenary at this age? Xu Le thought about it.

"What's this?"

"It should be a platform for some kind of transportation." Looking at what the boy was pointing at, Xu Le replied.

"Um, is it similar to a steam locomotive?"

"Maybe it's something more advanced, such as an electric bus or a hover car."

Seeing that Xu Le was willing to talk to him, the young man also started chatting.

"Wow, you know this. Have you been to a similar place before?"

"Well, I have indeed been to a similar place."

"Then what is the scariest monster you have ever seen? My purpose of becoming a mercenary is to kill monsters."

Looking at the young man's firm eyes, Xu Le burst into laughter.

"me too."

swish swish...

Just as he said this, there was a sound in the already overly lush green belt ahead.

"Be alert." Bai Jing warned loudly, but it was too late.

A monster twisted like mud released a ball of green slime towards the mercenary team.

[Licking ghost, deformed species, level 3 weird, many ancient sounds]

puff!

Mucus sprayed on the ground, and green gas immediately rose.

Xu Le instantly pushed away the young man beside him, and after this action, the licking ghost's tongue also came.

Snapped!

The tongue like a long whip hit the air. Because the target was pushed away, the licking ghost became somewhat hostile towards Xu Le.

In its opinion, that young man is the best person to deal with.

After the attack failed, its tongue immediately wrapped around the ankle of another female mercenary and dragged her towards the green belt.

ah! ~

The woman screamed, and her panic prevented her from making a correct judgment. If she hadn't been so panic, it wouldn't have been so.

Fortunately, Bai Jing had already taken action. She slashed at the slimy weird tongue with her knife.

The sword cut it off, and the licking ghost let out a scream.

Xu Le frowned slightly, there was something wrong with the frequency of this cry.

At the same time, a second slime monster also emerged from the green belt.

It bit the female mercenary on the thigh.

Tear!

A large piece of meat was torn off by its sharp mouthparts, and the woman screamed again.

"my leg."

Bone wounds can already be seen, as well as a large amount of missing thigh meat, which indicates that this woman has completely lost her fighting ability.

But this is just the beginning.

Xu Le, who had not made any move, turned to look at the building on the right.

There seemed to be something in the dark door on the first floor.
