genetic catastrophe

Zhao Dong nodded slightly, he could almost understand the meaning of the system. This seems to be the time system ability that is often written about in those novels, right?

"Then what was his purpose for doing this? Can you deduce what he was doing during the break just now?"

"It's impossible to calculate. The host needs to provide more power to help the system complete the evolutionary upgrade. Perhaps this way we can find the answer."

"..."

Zhao Dong was speechless. This system would definitely break down at the critical moment, so he simply didn't ask. After filling in enough water, he returned directly to the wooden house.

"Old man, I'll go back first. If you need anything, come back to me..."

The old man opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Dong, and said: "It's so late, why not just stay here. You have nothing to do when you go back anyway, so why not practice chopping firewood here more."

"this……"

Zhao Dong looked at the dilapidated wooden house not far away, and then thought about Ning You's warm and fragrant soft bed, and hesitated for a moment.

In the end, Zhao Dong had to bite the bullet and chose to stay here. Although the wooden house was a bit dilapidated, he had never slept anywhere in his previous life. It was good to have a safe wooden house, and what the old man said

The idea is to let him stay here and continue to practice, then he will naturally be very happy.

"Okay, old man, you sleep in the wooden house, I can just find a place outside to deal with it..."

"Whatever you need to deal with, old man, it's enough for me to just lie down on this wicker chair. I'll leave the wooden house to you."

Zhao Dong touched his nose and did not refuse. He walked directly into the wooden house and prepared to sleep for a while.

I don’t know how long I slept for. Zhao Dong felt that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay on the bed. It could even be said that he passed out directly. When he was woken up by the old man, it was not yet dawn outside.

With a big moon on his head, he was pulled out and continued chopping firewood.

But the strange thing is that although Zhao Dong was called out to chop firewood in the middle of the night, Zhao Dong didn't feel tired at all, both physically and mentally, as if he had received sufficient rest.

"Could it be that the flow of time in the wooden house is different from that outside? Although only two or three hours have passed, I actually slept for a long time?"

"System, what do you think?"

Facing Zhao Dong's question, the system responded directly: "No abnormality was observed."

"Hey, I might as well chop two more pieces of firewood in order to ask you questions..."

Zhao Dong smashed his mouth, and the wooden ax in his hand kept falling, and pieces of firewood were split from it. The cross section also gradually evolved from being extremely irregular at the beginning to being as smooth as a mirror, and he was now able to sense it skillfully.

The power flows, and the wooden ax in his hand seems to become sharper and tougher!

Now, what Zhao Dong pursues is no longer speed, but precision. I am afraid that only by cutting each piece of firewood as neatly and flatly as tofu like the old man did, he can successfully gain the other party's approval!

The night here seemed to pass extremely fast. Zhao Dong felt that it only lasted a few hours, but when he came back to his senses, it was already close to noon. The firewood in front of him was already neatly arranged, and the cross section was as smooth as a mirror.

, there is no trace of cutting at all.

Under such abundant sunlight, Zhao Dong could clearly feel the majestic energy contained in these woods, and they were obviously still accumulating and increasing!

"Old man, what are you doing with all this firewood? I don't see any place where I can make a fire and make food..."

Zhao Dong couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

The old man glanced at Zhao Dong and said calmly: "How can you make a fire without firewood? How can you roast chicken without fire? Are you stupid?"

"Forehead……"

Zhao Dong smiled awkwardly, but then he thought something was wrong. If the firewood around was only used for roasting chickens, the roasted chickens would probably pile up in piles, so the firewood must be used for more than this!

Is it possible that this old man uses these firewood to practice on weekdays, so he is so strong?

But it’s not right to think about it. He has been chopping firewood for so long, but his perception of the flow of power has become much stronger, but his own strength has not increased at all. In other words, just chopping firewood will not increase his strength.

of.

Seeing Zhao Dong in a daze, the old man yelled and reminded: "I'm going to catch chickens now. You must light the fire before I come back, otherwise you will starve today!"

"this……"

"It won't take a minute to make a fire, so don't worry."

Zhao Dong grinned. He had the ability of [Fire Lord]. How could he start a fire just by blowing his breath?

However, what happened next made Zhao Dong go crazy. The flames that could directly burn the wood into charcoal were actually swallowed and absorbed by the firewood, and made them harder and even began to glow faintly.

It has a metallic luster!

"Holy shit..."

"Is this really wood?"

"Is the old man trying to frame me?"

"System, analyze and identify, see what the principle is!"

Zhao Dong immediately asked the system to analyze the reason why these woods are not afraid of flames but regard flames as nutrients.

After a while, the system also gave the answer: "Host, these are not wood in the ordinary sense, but fire trees that have been irrigated by huge fire elements. Unless the host's flames can surpass the quality of these fire trees,

The power of the fire element, otherwise it can only be reduced to its nutrients."

"Oh...I don't believe it anymore, let's do it again!"

Zhao Dong condensed the flame in his palm again. This time, he also used the power of space to compress the flame to the limit, almost solidifying it!

However, this flame not only failed to make the firewood burn, but directly turned the semi-metallic firewood into a pile of golden bricks, which were pure gold in color and dotted with flame patterns.

!

"This is too perverted and does not comply with the rules of physics..."

"Host, continuing to do this is just in vain. The flame power contained in this firewood is the true sun fire, which ranks among the top ten strange fires. Unless the host has the ability to burn out the sun with its own flames, it will never be possible to rely on the flames.

Go and light these firewood." The system responded again.

"Is it true?"

"The system will only rely on facts and never make false claims."

"If you don't believe it, the host keeps trying. It might not be a bad thing if all these woods can be turned into metal..."

"Just try it..."

Zhao Dong gritted his teeth, increased the strength of the flame again, and continued to try to light the firewood. However, half an hour later, not only did not a single firewood burn, but several golden bricks were replaced.

"Forget it, these things have absorbed so much fire power, they may be of great use, put them away first!"

After putting away these few gold bricks that contained unknown amounts of fire power, Zhao Dong finally calmed down and figured out how to light these firewood.

From the current point of view, it is definitely impossible to burn it with fire, and it is definitely impossible to use water. The only possible way may be to find a way to make the flame power in the firewood spontaneously ignite!

"System, it's your turn to show off, immediately calculate all the ways to ignite the fire power in this wood!"

After a moment of silence, the system responded: "The power of fire is the most violent and aggressive of all elemental powers, and as the true sun fire among the ten strange fires, it can even burn flames with flames and turn them into flames.

It turns into its own nutrients. Judging from the current situation, unless the host can draw out the power of the true sun fire in it, it will not be able to ignite these firewood with the existing conditions."

"According to system calculations, if the host uses the devouring ability to devour the power of these true sun fires, there is a 37% probability of successfully igniting these firewood. However, the true sun fire itself is too domineering, and the host also has a 37% probability of igniting the fire**

!”

After hearing the system's explanation, Zhao Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I'm talking about the system, you think too highly of me, right? Is there any difference between your 37% chance of success and mine being 100%?"

"Host, there is a way you can try..."

Zhao Dong's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Say quickly, otherwise the old man will be back soon!"

The system's tone suddenly became serious and said: "The system recently observed and recorded the cultivation methods of this sect's disciples. At the same time, it also secretly detected and scanned the areas where the cultivation methods were stored.

After a lot of calculations and deliberation, the system has successfully created several exercises suitable for the host to practice, and translated the contents into a form that the host can easily understand."
