Chapter 547 What a monster this girl is!
Shi Wanyun recalled the situation at that time.
"The equipment you gave me is indeed very useful, and the Hidden Man's Cloak really helped me a lot. With those equipment, I reached the crown of the World Tree very easily."
"...You said, that towering tree is also a world tree?" Xu Xin asked.
"Well, that's also a world tree. There's no problem with that." Shi Wanyun nodded, "Because the first time I came into contact with the word world tree was on that tree."
Is that tree also a world tree?
Xu Xin is looking forward to what their World Tree will look like when it truly grows.
"Then I'll continue talking." Shi Wanyun got up from the bed, walked to the window, and looked out the window at the world tree whose canopy had covered a wide area.
"That giant tree is basically similar to this giant tree. The canopy is extremely lush and blocks a large area. Therefore, even though I am under the canopy, I am still some distance away from the trunk."
"However, at that time, I felt something was wrong."
……
At that time, Shi Wanyun was in a state of high mental stress.
She is always paying attention to the movements of all advanced mutant creatures around her. Once they tend to observe her, she will immediately stop acting in the cloak of the Invisible.
However, as soon as she arrived under the canopy, she clearly felt that the atmosphere had changed.
In the large area under the canopy, there are still many advanced mutant creatures walking freely, and judging from their appearance, the blood stripes on their bodies are more conspicuous, and their pupils are almost completely occupied by blood red.
It's obvious that the closer you get to this giant tree, the stronger the mutated creatures become.
But...
For some reason, as soon as she came to this area, she felt that the mutated creatures around her began to not care whether she existed.
Since entering this area, she has never been noticed by the mutant creatures, and her journey has been smooth.
After traveling a certain distance again, she was almost certain of this conjecture, so she relaxed her pace, quickened her pace, and started testing.
The rapid march still attracted the attention of the surrounding mutated creatures. An animal about three meters tall and shaped like a small carnivorous dinosaur turned its head and looked at her.
The red eyes, sharp and messy fangs, and the dazzling red lines on his body all made her heart tense.
Fortunately, her guess was correct.
Although the small dinosaur looked towards her and noticed her, it showed no intention of attacking her.
He even tilted his head slightly toward her, opened his sharp-toothed mouth slightly, and let out a cry of confusion and welcome, then turned his head and ignored her.
This scene made Shi Wanyun break into a cold sweat and made her breathe a sigh of relief.
After continuing to test a few times and finding that the mutated creatures in this area posed no threat and were even friendly to her, she gradually relaxed and continued walking towards the roots of the towering tree.
The closer you get to the roots, the vegetation on the ground becomes sparser and thinner. Instead, there are roots hanging down from the crown of the giant tree, standing like a bamboo forest in this area.
These roots hang down straight down. The thinnest ones are as thick as a person's arm, and the thickest ones are even as thick as a person's waist, forming a strange jungle-like landscape.
Of course, there are also some advanced mutant creatures among them.
The mutated creatures that have arrived here are not only non-hostile and friendly, they can even communicate easily.
Just as she was walking forward, a giant wild deer at least four meters tall walked up to Shi Wanyun, lowered its huge head, and looked at her with its blood-red eyes.
Shi Wanyun's own strength was weak, so it was naturally impossible for him to fight against these mutated creatures whose level was unknown.
She didn't dare to walk away rashly, for fear that the other party would think she was rude and take action against her.
Tentatively, she reached out and touched the huge deer head.
The down on the deer's head is very short, and it is also covered with bright blood-colored markings.
The short fluff looks hard, but makes people feel soft and warm when touched.
The mutated wild deer did not refuse Shi Wanyun's touch, and even closed his eyes to enjoy it.
The corners of Shi Wanyun's mouth raised slightly.
The mount she signed a mount contract with was a deer, so she had some closeness and familiarity with the deer.
Seeing that the huge mutant wild deer looked very friendly, she tried to say: "I want to go to the root of the tree house. Is there any danger ahead?"
With the intelligence of advanced mutated creatures, communication should be easy, right?
The wild deer opened its eyes, turned its head slightly to look at the roots of the banyan tree, and then shook its head towards her.
The gorgeous antlers swayed, making people want to touch them.
"Are you saying there is no danger?" Shi Wanyun felt slightly happy and asked softly.
The mutated wild deer nodded slightly, then turned to look at the root of the tree house again, then at Shi Wanyun, and then...
It crouched down in front of Shi Wanyun, swinging its huge deer head back.
"伱..." Shi Wanyun looked at Yelu in surprise, "Are you going to take me there?"
The wild deer's intention was obvious, letting Shi Wanyun ride on its back.
The deer nodded again.
Shi Wanyun took a gentle breath and made a decision: "Okay."
It couldn't be better to have such a giant deer protecting her for the last part of the journey.
Moreover, she did not dare to refuse the kindness of this giant deer. The giant deer was already crouching down. If she still refused, who knew whether it would suddenly turn against him?
The wild deer itself is more than four meters tall, and with the height of its antlers, it can even reach more than five meters. Even if such a huge body is crouching down, the height of its body alone is close to two meters.
But this naturally did not faze Shi Wanyun. With a light leap, she climbed onto the back of the big wild deer.
After she sat firmly, the wild deer slowly stood up, and before Shi Wanyun could say anything, it started walking towards the root of the tree house.
The speed is neither fast nor slow, but even if the speed of such a huge body is walking, it is equivalent to the speed of a human trotting.
Sitting on the back of the wild deer, Shi Wanyun's gaze was much higher than before, and the surrounding situation was more clearly displayed in her eyes.
A human was riding on a giant deer. This situation should rarely happen in this area. The mutant creatures around her who had no interest in her all looked at her one by one.
Fortunately, there was no hostility, it was probably just out of curiosity.
During the last part of the journey, Shi Wanyun didn't say anything, and the giant deer didn't make any sound or make any other movements. It simply moved towards the roots of the tree.
Shi Wanyun's lips parted slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
She didn't know why this giant deer suddenly wanted to help her. Could it be because she felt so comfortable touching it just now?
Or...
This giant deer knows why people like her are here, so it wants to help her complete her mission?
Talking too much will lead to mistakes, it is better to remain silent.
The giant tree was getting closer and closer. Soon, the giant deer stopped only a hundred meters away from the root of the giant tree. Then it stopped and slowly crouched down again.
Shi Wanyun immediately got off the giant deer.
She looked at the giant tree that was very close to her.
From a distance, the thick trunk of this giant tree is indeed upward as a whole, but when you look closer, you find something different.
This tree is not a big straight tree that grows straight upward. Instead, it is a winding old tree that looks like it has experienced the baptism of time at a glance. The trunk has various protrusions and depressions, growing upward in a winding way.
On the ground, part of the giant tree's roots protruded from the soil and was exposed, and the entire ground looked very uneven.
Near the tree trunk, a faint purple-black light can be seen.
But she couldn't see how the light was emitted, because the location where the light was emitted was blocked by the rugged soil and exposed roots.
But the purple-black light...
This should be her mission target this time.
There should be the entrance to the teleportation point back to her own tree house!
"Thank you..."
Shi Wanyun turned around, wanting to thank the giant deer for sending her here.
As a result, when she just observed the situation of the giant tree, the giant deer had quietly walked away.
The speed was much faster than when we came here. Looking back now, we could only barely see the back of the giant deer among the dense, dark green roots.
...Does it really just want to send her here?
Although she was a little confused, the current situation did not allow her to waste too much time. She immediately turned around and walked towards the tree trunk.
Within a hundred meters radius around the tree trunk, there is another unique spectacle.
The closer you get to the trunk, the fewer roots hang down and the more exposed roots emerge from the ground, making the ground more uneven.
When it was about forty or fifty meters closer to the trunk, the hanging roots had completely disappeared, but the underground roots sprouted out unscrupulously and were exposed.
The ground was so rugged that Shi Wanyun could not move forward without using his own hands to climb and support.
In addition, there is a very obvious change.
There are no mutant creatures in this area.
It was even said that from the position where she got off the giant deer just now, there was no longer any living creature that could move.
This made her feel something was wrong.
Are the mutated creatures not allowed to get close to this giant tree?
Or is it that there is danger nearby, which makes the surrounding mutated creatures afraid and do not dare to approach?
But there is no way, she still needs to move forward.
The rugged ground always brings a sense of crisis. She regained her energy and moved forward with full concentration.
Numerous protruding and exposed thick tree roots made the ground rugged, and she could only move forward on her hands and feet.
When you hold your hands on the exposed roots, it doesn't feel cold, but a warm touch, which even makes people feel comfortable.
Although the ground was rugged, there was only a hundred meters away. Soon, Shi Wanyun arrived at the root of the tree, climbed up to the highest raised root, and looked down.
"This is..."
The purple-black light emitted was not a portal as she imagined, but an orb.
An orb containing purple-black energy.
"...Purple-black treehouse core?"
She looked around again. Except for things like that, everything else was normal, and there was no strange light coming out anymore.
This orb is the target of her mission.
For some reason, she just felt that way.
So, she slid down from the highest protruding tree root, squatted down, reached out and picked up the orb.
Before she could take a closer look at the orb, suddenly, the orb in her hand glowed with purple-black light!
She instantly felt a wave of fatigue coming over her, and after that, she didn't know anything.
……
When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed in the bedroom.
The soft bed was so comfortable that she sank into it, not wanting to get up.
Turning her head slightly, she looked around, and then...
Suddenly stood up from the bed!
"Where is...where?"
When he opened his eyes and saw the wooden ceiling, Shi Wanyun thought he had returned to his tree house, but it turned out to be a strange room here!
...She hasn't completed this mission yet?
She observed the room.
A simple small bedroom with clear and familiar textures on the wooden walls and ceiling, clearly telling her that this was a tree house.
But it's not her treehouse!
The doors and windows of the room were closed, so she immediately walked to the window and pushed towards it.
The window was not locked and was easily pushed open.
The scenery outside the window surprised her.
Outside the window, there is a dense, dark green tree crown that is almost impermeable to light and air.
The moment the window was opened, some of it even poured into the window, squeezed inside the window, and even drooped to the ground.
She reached out and tried to pry away the thick leafy branches, but to no avail. The crown of the tree is very thick. Even if one layer is peeled off, there is still a crown behind.
This was indeed a treehouse, but it was different from her own treehouse and the treehouse of survivors.
In the survivor’s tree house, the tree crown outside the window will not affect the view of the people inside the house. People in the house can look outside directly through the tree crown.
But it obviously doesn't work here.
The scenery outside could not be seen from the window. Shi Wanyun immediately walked to the door and reached out to open it.
"Crack... crunch——"
The door was slowly opened.
But she didn't open it. Before her hand even touched the doorknob, she saw the doorknob twist.
She immediately stepped back a few steps and subconsciously reached for her backpack, only to find that her backpack was also missing.
Even... the clothes on her body had been completely changed. It was a set of clothes that she had never seen before.
The door was pushed open, and a head poked through the crack in the door.
It's a girl even younger than her.
...human beings?
The girl also saw her immediately and said in surprise: "Ah, you are already awake? How are you? Are you still comfortable? This is the room I prepared for you."
"...Very comfortable, thank you. Who are you? Where is this place?"
Seeing the kind human being, Shi Wanyun relaxed slightly, his face softened, and he asked softly.
"Huh? Don't you know where this is?" The girl had not entered the room, but continued to look at her and asked in surprise, "You don't know where this is, how dare you come here?"
Shi Wanyun's eyes moved slightly.
Judging from the girl's tone, she should know a lot of things.
"...Aren't you tired of being like this at the door?" Shi Wanyun smiled softly, "Why don't you come in? I really don't know much. We can sit down and chat. Can you tell me what's going on now? ”
"Oh, of course! But you don't know where this is, so how did you get close to here without being eaten by the mutated creatures outside..."
As she spoke, the girl came closer to her.
...Only the head came closer to her.
The door was still only open a crack.
A long, white neck stretched out from the crack in the door, winding, and brought her head and face to Shi Wanyun!
……ah?
Shi Wanyun's pupils shrank suddenly and his body stiffened!
Cardiopulmonary arrest in an instant!
She stopped breathing and almost slapped her!
"Ah! Sorry!" The girl looked back, then apologized, and then quickly put her head back outside the door.
Then, the door was pushed open, and a normal girl walked in and apologized: "Sorry, I'm used to it."
But Shi Wanyun stared at her, his eyes filled with shock and a hint of fear.
She subconsciously took a step back. This girl... what kind of monster is she? !
