genetic catastrophe

"This is a treasure. I'll hide a few and take them home later, and then I'll find a way to get them in large quantities..."

While Zhao Dong was thinking about it, the ax in his hand accidentally fell on the firewood in front of him, and with a feeling like cutting paper, the whole piece of wood instantly turned into two halves!

"this……"

Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment and tried to chop the ax again, but it no longer felt as smooth and silky as before!

"Did the ax just chop a piece of firewood while I wasn't paying attention?"

"No, no, no, it must be an accident..."

Zhao Dong calmed down and continued to feel the flow of power in the wooden ax and firewood in his hand. With the help of strong mental power, he quickly mastered the method. Half an hour later, another ax fell, and then another piece of firewood.

The response was split open!

Although he successfully split the second piece, this ax alone took half an hour of Zhao Dong's time, and his mental power was almost exhausted, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat!

Not far away, the old man who was taking a nap caught a glimpse of this scene, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was very satisfied with Zhao Dong's progress.

"This guy is really not a human being..."

Zhao Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to think about the feeling of the ax just now. This time, it only took less than half the time before to lock the energy flow in the firewood again, fall with the ax, and successfully split it again!

By the time it got dark, Zhao Dong's time to perceive and control this power had been shortened to less than five seconds. In other words, he now only needed less than five seconds to successfully split a piece of firewood!

But even so, compared with the old man's technique, there is still a huge difference. The section of the wood that that guy chopped was as smooth as a mirror, but not only were the pieces the same size, but the section was full of tear marks, which was horrible to watch.

.

"Finally almost done..."

Zhao Dong glanced at the pile of demolition wood that was only half a man tall and felt a little relieved. Thinking that he would be able to eat roast chicken soon, he also accelerated the speed of lowering the axe.

Not long after, Zhao Dong threw away the wooden ax and waved to the old man: "Old man, I'm done. Where's the roast chicken?"

The old man opened his eyes and glanced this way, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face: "What kind of woodchopping are you doing? Can these big and small things be used? I can ask a dog to chop wood better than you. How can you think of splitting it like this?

Want roast chicken?”

"There's no door!"

"However, we don't have roast chicken, but we do have steamed buns. It's just in the room, go get it yourself..."

Zhao Dong said with a bitter face: "This is different from what you promised. You didn't ask for any shape at the beginning. Although it is a bit ugly, it is still split..."

The old man snorted softly and said: "If you chop it like this, the wood will grow back on its own tomorrow. It's no different than if you didn't chop it. Old man, I gave you a few buns to eat because of your hard work. Don't you know what's good and what's good!"

"this……"

Zhao Dong scratched his head and finally came up with nothing. However, he was still very curious about what the old man said. The wood would grow back on its own. What did that mean?

"You are cruel!!"

Zhao Dong muttered, turned around and walked towards the house. The house was very simple, with a wooden bed and a wooden table, and nothing else. There were a few cold steamed buns randomly thrown on the table.

It's as hard as stone.

"Is this damn food for people to eat..."

Zhao Dong picked up the steamed bun and squeezed it. Not only did it look like a stone, but it also felt like a stone. It also looked much harder than the pile of wood outside!

"Forget it, since I said there is no roast chicken, let's just make do with it. It's better than nothing."

Zhao Dong sighed, put the steamed bun to his mouth and carefully took a bite.

Surprisingly, this steamed bun was very soft and delicate when eaten in his mouth, completely different from pinching it. Moreover, as he swallowed it, a warm feeling quickly spread in his body, as did his mental and physical strength.

Recovering!

"What a good thing, this kind of effect that can restore physical and mental strength at the same time cannot even be achieved by recovery potions!"

Zhao Dong's eyes lit up, and he secretly appreciated it in his heart.

"Old man, do you have anything to drink?"

The old man glanced at him: "Can't you look for a place with a bigger shit yourself?"

"Okay...then find it yourself."

Zhao Dong blinked his eyes. Since the old man didn't regard him as an outsider, he wouldn't be polite and immediately started wandering around the mountain.

After wandering around, Zhao Dong actually found a small stream. It gushes out from a spring at the top of the mountain and flows towards the foot of the mountain. It does not form a lake or pond.

"This should be drinkable..."

Zhao Dong took another mouthful of steamed bread, raised his hand to put a handful of water to his mouth and took a sip.

It tastes cool and sweet in the mouth, and after just one sip, it feels like your whole body has taken a cold shower, and you feel sober in an instant!

"Let me check it out, this is a good thing!"

A flash of light flashed in Zhao Dong's eyes, and he immediately found a way to intercept a large amount of stream water and store it. He was sure that this was definitely not an ordinary stream, but maybe it was the spiritual spring or spiritual veins often written about in novels.

!

"System, analyze the composition of this water and see if there are any differences!"

"Under analysis..."

"Analysis successful,"

"System, analyze this water."

"Under analysis

"The analysis is successful. In terms of chemical composition, there is almost no difference from ordinary water. The reason why the host feels different is because the water contains a large amount of energy called spiritual power. This energy is in the form of a liquid.

The form is mixed in the water, so it has this effect.”

Zhao Dong had a serious expression on his face, "If you put it this way, the old man not only eats things that other disciples cannot eat every day, but also drinks this spiritual spring as water every day?"

“This possibility is not ruled out…” “This possibility is not ruled out…” “This possibility is not ruled out…”

"Damn it, it's so extravagant..." Zhao Dong was speechless.

"but……"

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhao Dong's mind, and he thought of a very important question: "This also confirms my guess. The old man is definitely not an ordinary person. Although he said that he is not an elder or a sect leader, that's right.

Maybe he is something like a sweeping monk. It seems like we need to think carefully about how to curry favor with him..."

The system was silent for a moment and said: "According to common sense, if the other party has no special purpose, he should not treat the host so specially, so the host is asked to pay special attention. According to the system's estimation, the other party at least hides the power that can kill the host instantly.

."

"What? Kill me instantly?"

Zhao Dong was stunned when he heard this.

Although his current strength cannot be said to be invincible, it is impossible for any old man to come and beat him in seconds.

"Do you have any basis for your estimate? Killing me instantly would be a bit too exaggerated."

The system responded: "Although no actual evidence has been observed, the system saw an interesting thing while the host was concentrating on chopping firewood. Do you need the system to describe it in detail to the host?"

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "Tell me about it."

The system was silent for a moment, and then said: "Just when the host was concentrating on chopping firewood and had no time to pay attention to him, the system observed that the old man's existence itself disappeared for a period of time, which means that although he seemed to be napping there,

, but in fact his body and soul have gone elsewhere, which means that the other party's existence itself has even transcended the constraints of time, and he can stop his own time at will and wander away from this world in another form of existence.

Outside of time.”

"hiss……"

"This kind of thing...are you sure it's not a system bug?" Zhao Dong took a breath of air.

Although he has come into contact with many incredible existences, when faced with the meaningless term time, Zhao Dong is still as ignorant as a newborn baby. It can even be said that he knows nothing!

The system continued to explain: "Time itself does not actually exist. The time in the host's cognition actually refers to the time of the host and the world itself, which is individual time."

"As a species of human being, each individual has different time. It is the gathering of all individual time that merges into the world's time. Without individual time, the world itself would not exist.

In other words, it is matter, space and individual time that make up the world, which is the time and space in the host's cognition."

"The old man's personal time just paused briefly. This brief pause can be a moment or eternity for him, but for the host, he will not feel anything."
