Chapter 239 Cut off the source

The brain is the terminal of the human body. If this tree is the CPU processor of all roots and previous heart and stomach, then the head of this entire underground system... grows under the butt!&1t;/p>

The weird association made me laugh out loud, and the woman asked strangely: "What's wrong?"&1t;/p>

I was about to tell her my imagination when the tree suddenly moved. She didn't have time to listen to me and ran forward desperately with me on her back, as if she was going to race against the tree.&1t;/p>

But there are also trees in the river. I don’t know what kind of species this tree is, but there are only a piece of trunk. There are countless roots growing up and down, and the canopy is not visible at all.&1t;/p>

However, in this dark underground space, it would be strange if there are trees that can bloom normally.&1t;/p>

The woman ran desperately on the roots in the river, as if she was sprinting, but the roots suddenly twisted. No matter how powerful the woman was, she still couldn't maintain her balance. As soon as she fell into her body, I fell off her back.&1t;/p>

We are really the same height. As long as her body is slightly tilted or squatted, my feet will fall directly to the ground.&1t;/p>

The undulating roots in the water made us standing on the top, as if standing on a shaking trampoline. My hands couldn't grasp her shoulders and slipped off her shoulders. I remembered her previous instructions, so I grabbed her arm instead, thinking that this would not be a loss.&1t;/p>

The woman lowered her curse and shouted: "Let go, run!"&1t;/p>

She shook my arm away and raised her hand and pushed me forward hard, while she turned around and ran away.&1t;/p>

I thought to myself, what does this mean? I said I could be each other's angels and parted ways so quickly?&1t;/p>

At this moment, a shadow suddenly popped up in the water, and rushed towards her. This thing was the "water ghost" who had chased us in the water before.&1t;/p>

I saw the water ghost wearing his head scattered, stretching out his hands with long tips of his nails, bringing up a splash of water, and it was about to pounce on the woman.&1t;/p>

I didn't do what she said, ran towards her a few steps, and before the water ghost threw her down, I grabbed the water ghost's head. Maybe it had been soaked in the water for a long time, and the water ghost's head and scalp were not connected very firmly. When I pulled it, I actually pulled it off.&1t;/p>

There was a scalp connected to the root, the skull of the water ghost was exposed, and the skin on the face drooped. I began to wonder if it was really soaked in the water for hundreds of thousands of years, and it was so "fragile".&1t;/p>

But after looking again, I found that this water ghost was wearing a windbreaker, which was obviously not an ancient corpse.&1t;/p>

The woman was stunned. She stared at the water ghost. Her eyes gave me the feeling that she knew this ghost, and even forgot to fight back for a while.&1t;/p>

"Biyuan!" I remembered the name engraved on the shovel handle and called it out. Unexpectedly, when I heard these two words, the water ghost turned his head and looked at me first.&1t;/p>

"Your name is Biyuan..." I also stared at the water ghost. Its head was very long, and the style of the windbreaker was a woman. It was obviously a woman. Is that shovel her? She and the woman together?&1t;/p>

Taking advantage of the moment when the water ghost was stunned, the woman gritted her teeth and turned her direction and ran towards me. It seemed that she had given up her plan to go back.&1t;/p>

When the water ghost heard the name Biyuan, he seemed to have received some guidance, so he rushed towards me. I took a few steps back to avoid its attack.&1t;/p>

I kind of understand the woman's intentions. She just wanted to rush across this river beach in one go.&1t;/p>

But she was afraid of the giant tree and just wanted to retreat. Now she has missed the best opportunity to escape, so she can only rush forward with a tough bullet.&1t;/p>

The giant tree has completely awakened at this time. It stretches out countless roots and rolls towards the woman. The three moving targets only chase women. There must be a reason for this.&1t;/p>

I think the most likely reason is that among the three of our targets, she is the only living person, or an "angry" creature.&1t;/p>

The giant tree and the water ghost have no brain wave activities, and my spiritual powers are useless, so I can only follow the woman to run wildly.&1t;/p>

But the roots of the tree are everywhere in this area, and they are surging like waves. The woman's feet are stuck in the gap between roots several times, and her legs are entangled. Fortunately, she is not weak, and she succeeds in getting out of the root net like a slippery loach.&1t;/p>

However, the giant tree has lived underground for too long and has penetrated into every corner. The woman is very reluctant to fight against it. She has run for a long time but has not been far away. Time is wasted getting rid of the entanglement of the roots.&1t;/p>

I originally wanted to go up to help her, but I was blocked by the water ghost. It would be okay if only this one was there, but with the recovery of the giant tree, the water ghosts around me emerged one after another and jumped out of the water one by one. In the blink of an eye, I surrounded me.&1t;/p>

The group of water ghosts who came up later were obviously not of the same era as the one wearing windbreaker. The armor on their bodies had been soaked in the water for so long, but it was not rotten, but it was a little old and broken.&1t;/p>

Some water ghosts wear bracelets on their wrists, just like the ones that hold a woman's ankle. The river water is so turbulent, but they can sink in the water and not be washed away by the water flow. Instead, they chase it against the current. No wonder women don't want to disturb them.&1t;/p>

When they were close to me, I could see clearly that behind them, there was a root supporting me, which reminded me of the scene when a woman fell out of a huge rock. There was also a tube-shaped vine connected to her back.&1t;/p>

The roots grow into the inside of the corpse, which may be the key to their ability to move after death. I have experienced that feeling. The difference is that I have not become a water ghost. Of course, if I hadn't absorbed their energy in turn, I would probably not be much better than them now.&1t;/p>

"Its energy has been weakened by you. This is our only chance. Don't get entangled with those things, go quickly." The woman rolled and crawled to pass through her roots. Half of her body was entangled by the roots, and it was very laborious to move forward.&1t;/p>

It is not difficult for me to get rid of the besieged water ghost, but I have to leave the woman behind. Will she not know her situation? I undoubtedly know, but she still urged me to leave without any intention of holding me back.&1t;/p>

My admiration for her has increased a little bit. Anyway, I have strong regeneration ability, so it’s nothing to let her blood off.&1t;/p>

Thinking of it, she slashed her arm with a dagger, turned around and swung the blood sprayed on her. She had just said that if I was willing to sacrifice, I could use blood to cover her breath. Although she didn't say it clearly, I think that's what it means.&1t;/p>

I deliberately threw the blood on her body, avoiding the position above her chest, so as not to accidentally throw it into her mouth.&1t;/p>

It is said that I am not a living person, and the water ghost should not be interested in me. We have been going through the way, and it turns out that it is indeed the case.&1t;/p>

But at this time, the water ghosts seemed to be treating me as an instability factor and were eager to eliminate me. They wanted to drag me into the water, but I kicked me away a few times.&1t;/p>

The strength of my punching and lifting my foot has returned to its peak state. When the water ghost was kicked away by me, the bones made a cracking sound.&1t;/p>

My blood was covered in the woman's body, and those roots slowed down the entanglement with her, giving her a chance to escape.&1t;/p>

But if this continues, it will be bad for us. I was so cruel that I pursed my lips tightly and ran towards the tree.&1t;/p>

"What are you going to do? Come back!" The woman spoke very quickly, revealing an anxious and nervous mood.&1t;/p>

In fact, I was dragged into the ground by the roots, and I was so frustrated that I met a white bug and wanted to eat me. Now I think about it, it must be this tree that is making a monster.&1t;/p>

It has been comfortable underground for too long and is used to being arrogant and blessed. Any corpse that dies here has become its nutrients and puppets. It is really a "local emperor".&1t;/p>

"The road ahead is blocked by its roots. Haven't you seen it? No one can get out of it without removing it." My eyesight was not affected at all in the darkness. Maybe the woman didn't see it. The river beaches and rivers ahead were covered with root nets. As long as the giant trees could move, we would not be able to escape from this area.&1t;/p>

The woman was speechless for a moment. She might think that I was too impulsive to do this, but I had learned to endure in the training of the end of the world, so how could I be so impulsive?&1t;/p>

"Hey—" the woman suddenly shouted.&1t;/p>

I turned around and saw her throwing something over her arm. I subconsciously caught it. It was a nail the size of a nail.&1t;/p>

"I can only go and help you by nailing the source of it." The woman explained.&1t;/p>

I didn't ask what the source of the giant tree is, because I know that all living things have vitals. As long as they hit it, they can seriously hurt it. Any such place is definitely not on the surface and must be close to the trunk.&1t;/p>

The ground is full of roots, and the moisture here is heavy. When I step on it, my feet slippery. I simply jump forward, but the closer I get to the trunk, the more alert the roots are.&1t;/p>

When the distance is far, the roots are very 'gent' towards me, but as the distance gets closer, they finally take a fierce attack on me.&1t;/p>

Just when I was only three meters away from the trunk, I was tied up by a few roots as thick as my arms and dragged them directly under the trunk.&1t;/p>

This place is really hard to describe. What I inhaled in my nose was the smell of rotten wood, and what my skin was exposed to was a sticky liquid.&1t;/p>

I felt a dozen sharp things pierced into my limbs, one pierced straight into my back and stabbed my heart.&1t;/p>

This trick again? I sneered, absorbed my previous experience, and used my mental power to command myself to retaliate against it. Since the giant tree absorbed nutrients through its roots, I would do the opposite and use its transportation line to grab its energy.&1t;/p>

To be honest, it hurts me to fight against it in this way. When it struggles, it is the roots that are stirred in my flesh, and I am almost torn to pieces by it.&1t;/p>

After a while, I realized that I had miscalculated the ability of these roots. The roots that stretched out directly from the trunk were different from those similar to those of the nerve endings I had encountered before. After the energy was backfired, they did not escape, but tried desperately to suppress me, trying to move the situation back.&1t;/p>

Am I going to die here? I was shaken in the strong pain, but then I bit my lower lip hard to make myself more awake. I must not die here. My parents are still waiting for me in my hometown. Gu Yu must be very anxious if he can't find me.&1t;/p>

I let out a nearly roaring scream, breaking the roots tied to my body, and in the dark tree hole, I saw a little light.&1t;/p>

Nothing can stop me from getting closer to the light. I broke one arm, sprained my ankle, and finally climbed to the light.&1t;/p>

It is difficult for me to describe what a light source is. It is a bit like a human brain, with a faint purple light, which looks similar to those light stones in the "stomach".&1t;/p>

I didn't have time to think too much, holding the nail and stabbing it hard towards this light brain. There were many fractures in my body. If I were a normal person, I would definitely not be able to complete this action.&1t;/p>

Who made it meet me? This is God's will. But I didn't expect that the nails pierced into my mind, and the surrounding roots moved even harder.&1t;/p>

The whole space was like a boiling pot, and the roots were boiling. I thought it was broken. Did I have any errors in my operation?&1t;/p>

But soon I knew I was doing nothing wrong, because although these roots moved violently, they stopped attacking me, they were just twitching violently.&1t;/p>

Even so, it is also a torture for me. I can't stand it at all. I fell into the middle of the roots, like falling into a fully automatic washing machine, being rummaged over and over, and there is no place in my bones and flesh that doesn't hurt.&1t;/p>
