Chapter 78 The Seed of the World Tree
Tree.
What I saw in front of me was undoubtedly a tree. If it weren't for my own eyes, Mingya would never believe that there was such a big tree in the world. The hanging rhizomes and branches formed a forest. Walking in it, you feel like you have become an extremely small ant. Even the smallest rhizomes are as majestic as a towering tree.
All the rhizomes gather together and gather towards the middle trunk. The trunk is so huge that it is indescribable that it is composed of two giant trees that are hinged together. One is a pale green like jade, while the other is as if withered and only a dark as dead.
The two main trunks that were coiled and climbed directly to the sky, and it was impossible to imagine how huge it was. When you walked to the main trunk, it was almost impossible to see its curves. It was like an endless wall. If there was an ocean, a desert, or even another world that no one had ever known about, Mingya would definitely believe this.
Human power cannot shake such an existence. Even if it is set on fire, it will probably take tens of thousands of years? Is this really the product of human fantasy? Maybe it has always existed, but the tower opened this door.
"Why are you stunned?" Variji slapped a fierce picture behind Mingya's back, scaring him to his senses.
"Are you not shocked at all? This is a new world, we have simply come to a new planet." Mingya sighed.
"See the world more often, don't be fussy." Variji looked at the other party with a look of looking at a country bumpkin, "Have you ever been to the Golden Hall? It's also very big, so why can it be called an abnormal? It's just a larger tree."
"It's not a tree, it's just a part of the world tree. Some people have discovered similar anomalies on the side of the Holy Union. It spans the entire world, but we can't see it normally. This is a miracle..."
"You know, you're not quick enough. If you're a few days later, you'll have to snatch all the things from the Holy Union."
"I know...I know..."
Urged by Valiji Garcia, Mingya had to carry her backpack and follow her on her way, following them with a detection team of more than 20 people. These people are all affiliated with the abnormality research department of Visera College. They are all veterans who deal with abnormalities and have rich experience. They carry various equipment needed for scientific research, including many precious guides.
The surrounding trees do not have bark and leaves like ordinary trees. Their surfaces are bare, and light green luminous patterns appear on the wooden structure, like words and pictures. No one can understand the meaning of these symbols. Anomalies always carry secrets that many people cannot understand. Maybe they have no meaning in themselves. It is precisely because they are weird and difficult to understand, so they are called abnormal.
Mingya walked back and forth, and there were many structures on the symbols that looked like eyes. He always felt that something was observing them through these eyes. The symbols seemed to be moving, but whenever he looked carefully, he could not see any changes. I hope he was just too careful.
"The fifth abnormal exploration team recorded in real time." Variji picked up the communicator and shouted inside. Her voice was as impatient as her personality. Her fiery red hair really matched her. "The abnormal number ws002, the abnormal code name world tree, type space type, no aggressive behavior was found at present. The exploration team is approaching the abnormal body, the sample collection has been completed, the analysis of the mind wave data is normal, and the application is to enter the abnormal inside."
"This is Bjorn Esberen." A cold voice came from the communicator. Professor Lostraf, who had been in charge of the operation before, was in charge of the abnormality research department.
"You are here." Even the impatient Variji became humble in front of this person.
"The mission has changed temporarily. The abnormal investigation of the Holy Union found a World Tree seed. It is of great research value. It is best for you to find one." The White Wolf King understates the task, with no room for negotiation in his tone.
"We do our best."
"Do you need to send more people?"
"Enough, you're waiting for our good news."
"There are many uncertainties in space anomalies. You'd better hurry up. The door to the World Tree Space has only been opened once in the past ten years."
"clear!"
After hanging up the communication, Variji started to move quickly. Mingya walked behind and complained. He thought that the Abnormal Research Department would not have to fight with the Idiom Beast, and that he would be more idle when he moved here to work... Unexpectedly, he still had to do hard work.
"What's wrong?" Mingya dragged a heavy pack of guides. Waliji in front was light and ran as light as a swallow.
"The boss gave the order, let us find seeds and move faster, and the door might close at any time."
"Seed? Does World Tree have seeds too?"
"Why do you talk so much?"
The group walked forward quickly and walked around the tree roots for a long time and finally found an entrance. The door to enter the world is too small and can only be passed by. If you can move some off-road bikes or helicopters in, it would be much easier. Mingya's mind was full of complaints. Even if you get a bicycle in, it would be easier than now!
Compared with the entire big tree, the entrance is just a small hole with a needle hole, but from the perspective of the expedition team, the cave is amazingly large and can fill a mountain and enter it. It opens at the intersection of the green trunk and the black trunk. The engineers of the team turned on the detection-specific neon gas lamps, which were enough to illuminate the mines for dozens of kilometers and were completely swallowed up. The cave was still pitch black and there was no way to see the road.
Those strange symbols also appeared on the trunk of the World Tree. When Mingya saw them approaching, the light green symbols slowly turned into black. The World Double Tree... One symbolizes life, the other symbolizes death, and the inscription of death lit up, which is obviously a warning.
"It seems...it doesn't welcome us." Mingya said timidly.
"Can you be so fucking different from the spirit? Just get out if you don't follow me." Variji cursed unbearably, "Come with me!" She held a ball of burning flames in her hand and penetrated into the deep hole bit by bit. The place she walked by slowly lit up.
Compared to people, the World Tree seemed to hate fire more. When the fire approached, the runes became darker and darker. The personnel from other expedition teams followed Variji one after another. Mingya looked at it for a while, and finally followed in helplessly.
The road under my feet is made of a huge rhizome. It is large to a certain extent. Although it is cylindrical, it is still the same as a plane when walking on it. A group of people followed Variji.
The irritable flames kept cracking, flames and red hair, the symbol of the Garcia family, and the strange temper. They were the family of the Esberen family. During the battle of salvation, their family fought with Van Helsing Esberen.
Mingya really can't get along with this guy. He likes gentle and petite women the most, but every time he acts, his companions are either this Valliji or that Evelyn... Both of them are beautiful women at the cover level of fashion magazines. Others may be envious, but if you really come to experience it, you will know how difficult it is to get along with this guy.
After advancing along the rhizome for a long time, the surrounding world gradually became clearer. They could see countless huge branches mixed with trays above their heads. If there were bugs on this tree... they might be even bigger than the evil dragon-level mindful beast?
Mingya was thinking about it all at once, suddenly a loud noise came from her feet, and the rhizomes began to shake, and everyone couldn't help but stagger.
"Mingya! Pay attention to the surroundings!" Variji shouted.
"I understand..." Mingya evoked his own light thoughts, and countless iron chains as thick as fingers flew out of his hands, spreading along his feet, exploring into those dark environments.
The iron chain passed by slowly lit up, and everyone held their breath. As the light rose little by little, Mingya's mouth opened wider and wider. The product of his random thoughts just now appeared. He suppressed the fear in his heart and did not scream.
The surrounding branches are filled with huge insects. They are like aphids that can be seen on plants, but have been magnified tens of thousands of times, each of which is the same size as a small building of four or five stories. The aphids are tightly squeezed together, one against the other. If you don't look carefully, you will only treat it as a concave and concave surface of the branches.
The bodies of the insects trembled rhythmically, as if they were communicating with each other. The slight tremor of their trembling spread to the branches and a small earthquake. Mingya's chains were attached to an aphid. Seeing that there were also those eyes-like patterns on it, Mingya couldn't help but tremble.
"Don't alarm them! Idiot!" Variji lowered her voice, and Mingya quickly took back all the chains, and the aphids seemed to have no notice.
"They are part of the World Tree...I saw that they had runes like trunks on them." Mingya whispered.
"Let the runes go to the hell! Find me seeds!"
Waliji lowered the flames in her hand, slowed down her movements and tried not to disturb the swarm. They crossed from the connection between the branches to the other branch. Time passed by little, and the exploration team still gained nothing. She couldn't help but feel anxious. Unfortunately, all kinds of guides could not detect signals here, so she didn't know when to find a needle in the seabed.
The door to the World Tree will be closed at any time, and I don’t know how many years it will take until it opens.
"Look at what that is!"
Just when they were at a loss, a team member suddenly shouted in surprise and looked in the direction of his finger. A dark green ellipse floated at the end of the branches, emitting a faint light.
Chapter completed!
