After Xuejun's sword penetrated into the brain-like thing, the thing immediately began to shake violently, and at the same time, the surrounding sounds turned into violent screams and hisses.

Chen Chuan could feel the trembling and struggling force coming from the blade, but his hand was holding it firmly without any shaking.

At this moment, wisps of light mist floated out from the blade and wrapped the entire brain-like thing inside.

At this moment, the surrounding sounds became louder, and the sound waves almost turned into substance. It was not just the thing in front of me, but the entire tree seemed to be trembling.

It can be seen that the heads huddled among the branches are changing color one by one, and the light originally floating on them is gradually disappearing, as if the brain-like objects are extracting nutrients from them.

But it was no use. Chen Chuan was like a rock standing in the sea. No matter how many invisible air waves and spirits washed up, he never moved at all.

And those things were blocked just when they reached the periphery of the biological field. Coupled with the layer of milky white mist that enveloped him, it was as if a cocoon was formed around him.

As time gradually passed, more nutrients were drawn into the trunk and branches. The trunk, which was originally full of biological flavor, slowly shriveled up and lost its luster. The leaves and trunks withered one after another and turned grayish white.

Chen Chuan's eyes were fixed on the brain-like object. He felt that the life force inside was gradually dissipating. At the last moment, a human-like cry seemed to be emitted, and the surrounding branches shook violently.

Next, all the movement around him finally stopped.

He maintained his movement for a moment, and slowly pulled the blade out of the almost rotten shell of the thing. But at this time, he felt something. When he reached out and took it, something squeezed out from inside and flew to it.

He took a look at the palm of his hand and saw that it was a plump fruit-like thing, with a reddish color all over and a rough surface.

Is this... a relic?

Is it because of this thing that this tree can grow to this extent?

While I was thinking, suddenly there was a clicking sound under my feet, and cracks appeared on the branches I was stepping on. There were creaking cracks spreading on the trunk, and the surrounding branches were cracking one by one.

Break and fall from above.

After he saw it, he jumped down from mid-air, and the long knife turned into a flower in his hand. When it fell to the ground, he stuck it upright on the ground and inserted it into the scabbard. The blade was clanging.

It fell back into the sheath with a sound.

At this moment, there was a huge noise from the big tree behind it. The huge tree body finally could no longer support it and collapsed in an instant. When it fell to the ground, the vibration caused the soil and rocks above to fall down together, and they collapsed.

Gray and white debris floated in the air, and then fell down one after another.

He turned around and took a look. The fragmented brains turned into scattered mist, floating upwards in the bright skylight from above, as if they were relieved.

He stood for a while, picked up the knife and walked out, but when he stepped on the soft soil, there was the sound of something breaking.

He took a look and saw that they were piles of white bones, some of which could be seen as the bodies of children. They should have been buried in the mud, because the tree's struggle just now caused the tree roots to turn it over from the inside.

came out.

What we can see in front of us alone exceeds hundreds of them. Judging from the shape of the bones and the remaining clothing, most of them may be from the indigenous people of the blending area, and there are also a small number of soldiers from Dashun and the old imperial family.

The extra brain tissue on the branches must have been taken from these people.

He paused for a moment, then walked out along the passage of the underground space. After walking up the stone steps to the outside, an empty hall appeared here.

There was a large number of people lying there. These people were kneeling there originally, but they were impacted by his spiritual power, so they fell to the ground after losing consciousness. In front of them, there were several people whose heads had been cut off.

The heads were neatly placed on the table in front of them, and they seemed to be "sacrifice" ready to be sent to the true tree.

He looked at the people on the ground and realized that this tree might have been their source of survival, but once this thing grew up, it was destined to continue to devour flesh and blood, and its appetite would only get bigger and bigger.

In particular, it longs for a leap in life, which will eventually exceed the burden of this town. If it cannot supply it, then they themselves will be the sacrifices.

This result is almost certain.

He did not look at the people on the ground. These people were affected by his mental shock. Even if they could wake up, they would only have the most basic physiological instincts left.

After walking out of the hall, he saw an upward staircase. He walked there, but at this time, he glanced down.

A figure appeared there. Judging from the biological field, it should be a third-level fighter. This person was obviously outside the range of the mental impact just now, so he was not shocked. Originally, he was rushing in with a angry face, but when he looked at

After seeing Chen Chuan, the anger on his face suddenly turned into fear, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

Chen Chuan glanced at him and then withdrew his gaze, continuing to walk up as if he didn't pay attention to what he meant.

After he left, the man showed a look of secret joy. Not long after this look appeared, suddenly a bulge appeared on the surface of his body, and then the same thing appeared on his face. This was on his body.

The alienated organization is growing spontaneously and crazily.

He discovered the abnormality and immediately tried to suppress his own abnormal growth. However, these alienated tissues did not listen to him at all and began to proliferate in large quantities and kept growing out from inside the body and under the skin.

In just a short while, his entire body turned into a deformed mass of flesh. The mass of flesh was still squirming wildly at first, but after a while, it stopped moving at all.

Chen Chuan now doesn't need to use too much strength for fighters who are below the limit. He only needs to use mental power to induce the alienated tissues in the opponent's body, making them think that they have received sufficient nutrients in their bodies, and then they will actively absorb them.

The nutrients in the body work hard to grow until a person is sucked to death. And without a host, of course they cannot survive.

Not long after, he walked back up the steps to the high ground. In the distance, there were some small town residents and armed guards, standing there fearfully.

Although the guard was holding a gun, he was extremely nervous. The hand holding the gun was trembling slightly, and he was looking at him with fearful eyes. However, no one dared to shoot him at this moment. Some were even screaming desperately, "Let's go."

The armed men below lowered their raised guns.

Because they already know the scene just now, and there are now crazy rumors in the town that the "true god" they worship has angered Dashun, so they sent a fighter to clean it up.

A fighter, as people who have lived in the blending place for generations, they can understand the meaning behind this word more deeply than the people in Central City.

Chen Chuan ignored them. After he returned, he would say hello to the people from the Ministry of Defense. Regardless of whether these small town residents were involved in those things or not, it was impossible for him to identify them one by one. What happened next,

Leave it to the Ministry of Defense and the local garrison to handle.

He walked towards the exit along the original road. At this time, several off-road vehicles drove over and stopped in front of him one after another. The door opened and Baomi rushed out excitedly. He turned sideways,

Extremely excited, he saluted Chen Chuan and said, "Sir, please get in the car!"

The mercenary members who had served with him in other cars also raised their hands in salute with excitement. They already knew from this man's performance that the man in front of him must be a fighter.

They actually accepted the employment of a fighter? Are they still acting together? If they brag about this, no one will believe it!

Chen Chuan nodded to him and everyone, and sat in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle. After Baomi sat in, he carefully asked: "Sir, can I ask what your last name is?" He said quickly:

"If it's confidential, just pretend I didn't ask."

Chen Chuanchuan: "It doesn't matter. I needed to come over to verify something before. It was difficult to disclose it before I was sure. Now the matter has been settled. My surname is Chen, Chen Chuan."

In fact, most people here have never heard of his name, because the fighter's information will not be disclosed to the following easily.

Baomi's lips trembled, and he said excitedly: "I heard from my comrades in the army that General Zheng Guo of the old imperial family was beaten to death by our fighters with fists. I thought it was the old principal at first, but

It is said to be another person, so that could not be..."

Chen Chuan hummed, "I was the one who killed Wei Guochen."

Baomi's breathing became rapid. He and the people next to him who heard this sentence were trembling slightly, and they were trembling both physically and mentally.

Chen Chuanchuan: "Captain Baomi, go back."

"good!"

Baomi managed to calm down, started the car, and headed back the way he came. He said, "Sir Chen, don't worry, I promise to return to Shengu City before nightfall!"

The convoy soon arrived at the checkpoint location where it had just come, which had been occupied by the mercenary group.

But they didn't expend much effort just now. When the burst of spiritual power rushed here, even though it had weakened here, the people on the sentry were still affected. They were the only ones who didn't seem to feel it, so it was very

Captured this successfully.

After the off-road vehicle rushed out from here, everyone was inexplicably excited. They frequently looked at the car Chen Chuan was sitting in. It was unimaginable that they were actually sitting together with a fighter.

Although some of them accepted the guidance of Principal Yao in the past, Yao Zhiyi just showed up and left. The specific task was done by the guiding officer below. This was the first time for such contact.

With this excitement, the convoy passed through the wasteland at an extremely fast speed and returned to Deep Valley City before nightfall.
