Chapter 22: The Sycamore Sacred Tree
The task given by the above is to be led by the Four Heavenly Kings to protect Professor Wu Hanqiu from approaching the Flame Giant Tree.
As for the number of people, there is no limit, but it is certainly not as much as possible.
Therefore, the four people selected are basically awakened people of the fire and water systems.
Fire Awakened have fire antibodies, and they are less afraid of fire than normal people.
And the Water Awakened can use water to fight the flames, which is indispensable.
The few people selected by An Luotong were all water system awakeners, because among the four teams, she was close to Wu Hanqiu.
Just as she had picked out the six Awakened, she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind.
"Beauty, is there a shortage of people?"
An Luotong frowned at first, and then when he heard this voice, he immediately smiled.
"Chu Zhen? Why are you here? ”
"I pinched my fingers and felt you needed me tonight, so I came."
"Cut! Garrulous. An Luotong gave him a blank look, but the corners of his mouth were full of smiles.
However, Chu Zhen's words and deeds made many people angry.
Today's An Luotong is definitely a big man in the alliance and a goddess of the whole people, who dares to be so light on her?
Patting on the shoulder, it's unbearable.
"! Let go of that shoulder, or I'll cut off your groping hands! ”
In the crowd, I don't know which An Luotong's brain... The remnant fan roared.
The horror of the Flame Giant Tree can be imagined.
Even An Luotong has no bottom for this task.
But Chu really appeared, which made her feel a lot more down-to-earth.
……
Low-level water awakeners can only release simple water balls, which are released into the air to reduce the temperature around them.
However, there doesn't seem to be much use for eggs.
The closer you get to the Flame Tree, the hotter it gets.
The sweat that had just drowned out of the pores was evaporated in an instant.
The hot air makes it uncomfortable to breathe.
The Four Heavenly Kings led the team and protected Wu Hanqiu in the middle.
Wu Hanqiu also had two assistants by his side, and at this time, he clearly held some information in his hand, constantly observing the Flame Giant Tree.
"Professor, if you find it unbearable, let us know immediately." An Luotong said.
"I'm fine." Wu Hanqiu is old, and his antibodies to high temperatures are naturally not as good as those of young people.
However, he was forced to know what the flame tree in front of him really was, so he gritted his teeth and approached step by step.
"The system, can it be detected now?" Chu Zhenxin said.
At this time, he was only five kilometers away from the Flame Giant Tree, and even he of the Three-Element Demon Body was unspeakably hot.
"Drop! Testing, please ...... later"
Through Chu Zhen's perspective, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.
"Drop! Tested complete! ”
"This tree is the Ancient Divine Tree...... Chinese parasol tree! ”
Hearing this, Chu Zhen was taken aback.
Chinese parasol tree?
Sycamore birds dare not perch, stop avoiding the phoenix.
Look at the dancing flames on the giant tree, isn't it like a phoenix?
"Does the phoenix really exist?" Chu Zhen sighed in his heart.
He continued to look at the data detected by the system.
"The Sycamore Sacred Tree existed in the ancient period. Because the phoenix lives here for many years, it leaves a phoenix atmosphere. ”
"The sacred tree bears a divine fruit every hundred years, and before each fruit, the branches and leaves of the sacred tree turn into flames and burn for three days."
After reading this information, Chu Zhen was excited.
"Sycamore Divine Fruit?"
His cultivation speed is slow now, and it is the time when he needs the help of elixir.
The flame of this Sycamore Divine Tree was burning, indicating that the Divine Fruit was about to condense, how could he not be excited?
At this time, Wu Hanqiu, who was on the side, suddenly shouted: "It's the Sycamore, the legendary Sycamore Divine Tree!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Chu Zhen frowned, thinking to himself if this old man could even deduce the Divine Fruit, right?
Obviously, Wu Hanqiu does not have this ability yet.
At most, he only learned about the existence of the Sycamore Divine Tree through some classic records, but the matter of the Divine Fruit may not be recorded in the classics.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Hanqiu rolled his eyes and fainted directly.
"Oh no, Professor Wu fainted!" An assistant shouted.
"Retreat! Stay away from the Sycamore Sacred Tree. ”
Not to mention such an old man, even the Awakened could hardly bear the heat.
Therefore, Professor Wu was hurriedly sent back, and a medical team rescued him.
Fortunately, there was no danger to his life, he just fainted from dehydration and was immediately sent back to Donghai City.
And the news of the Sycamore Divine Tree was also immediately dressed in the crowd.
Many people looked at this sacred tree and were full of emotion.
However, the Sacred Tree flame is burning, and the temperature is extremely high, and it is impossible to get close at all now.
The military and the Awakening Alliance had no choice but to evacuate for the time being, leaving a team to observe.
Chu Zhen did not return to Donghai City with the large army, but quietly broke away from the army.
He must pick the divine fruit as soon as the flames of the Sycamore Divine Tree disappear, otherwise he will be the first to ascend, and he will lose a lot of money.
However, by the next day.
He found that around the Sycamore Divine Tree, the figures of desolate beasts began to appear one after another.
"Hemp eggs! It seems that there are a lot of competitors! ”
Obviously, these desolate beasts are also coming for the Sycamore Divine Fruit.
Chu Zhen restrained his breath, hid in the mountains, and tried to keep a low profile.
However, there are always some beasts that don't have long eyes looking for trouble, so he won't show mercy.
For the time being, he didn't see the existence of high-level desolate beasts, but just killing low-level desolate beasts and mid-level desolate beasts made his energy value rise to 3689 points.
However, the team that stayed behind to observe the Sycamore Sacred Tree was out of luck.
First of all, they have a lot of people and big goals, and under the siege of the wild beasts, they didn't last long before they were gnawed to the point that there were no bones left.
According to the data detected by the system, the Sycamore Sacred Tree will burn for three days.
However, this three days is only an approximate time, and it can never be the standard 72 hours.
Until the early morning of the fourth day.
Eventually, the flames of the Sycamore Sacred Tree began to fade.
Many desolate beasts are waiting for the opportunity to move, and when the flames are extinguished, they will definitely rush up and frantically compete for the divine fruit.
"If you want to compete with me, have you asked me about the jungle knife in my hand?"
Chu Zhen's palm grasped in the void, and the hunting wide blade appeared.
All weapons that have been modified by the system can be included in the system and can be obtained at any time when needed.
"Da Da Da ......"
In the sky, a dozen helicopters appeared.
In addition to this, tanks and combat vehicles were approaching in the distance.
"The army of Donghai City and the Awakening Alliance are here again?" Chu Zhen's face sank.
Although Wu Hanqiu was erudite and talented, he definitely didn't know the existence of the Wutong Divine Fruit.
The reason why the army and the Awoken troops came was mostly because of the large number of desolate beasts that appeared near the sacred tree.
In fact, before that, the Awakening Alliance had obtained an elixir in a desolate ancient ruin.
Although the value of that elixir was not at the same level as the Sycamore Divine Fruit, at least they had gained an experience.
Whenever a large number of desolate beasts suddenly appear in the ancient ruins, then there will definitely be heavenly treasures born.
Therefore, they don't need to know the existence of the Sycamore Divine Fruit at all, they just need to know that there is a heavenly and earthly treasure born here.
On the eastern horizon, the morning light emerges.
At this time, the flames on the Sycamore Divine Tree were finally completely extinguished.
There is only a small fruit, in the morning light, exuding vermilion light, dazzling.
That is, the Sycamore Divine Fruit.
"Roaring ......"
"Whew......"
Many wild beasts rushed forward like crazy, and as far as the eye could see, the number actually reached thousands, and the picture was terrifying.
"Boom ......"
The sound of heavy footsteps shook the earth as if it were trembling.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Not far away, the chariots and tanks were bombarding the beast tide indiscriminately.
However, this still did not stop the beast from doing so.
Even, some wild beasts tore each other on the way to run.
Chu Zhen stood on a high place, watching all this, and couldn't help but feel a headache.
The more competitors there are, the smaller the probability of picking the Divine Fruit.
However, in the midst of this chaos, being alone is not an absolute disadvantage.
