Chapter 101 Artificial Spring?

"Is it out of stock?"

Ren controlled the roots to explore nearby,
Occasionally, steam drums will emerge from the bottom of the spring water mud. This is already the bottom of the spring water, and the steam drums that emerge are even more lethal. When tree roots see them, they will avoid those bubbling areas.

The bottom of the whole spring is very deserted,

I can't even find any red dots in the perspective view,
"Does it mean that there is no living thing here?"

"Shouldn't be."

"Even if there is no living thing, there should be some kind of treasure. You want me to pick up the Holy Grail or the Lord of the Rings."

Ren thought to himself,

After all, the spring water of the clear spring has its own attributes, and he has never encountered a water flow with attributes before, so Ren thinks that there is something wrong with this clear spring, but now there is nothing suspicious at the bottom of the spring water.
Ryan is not reconciled,
He thought about it. On the surface, there was nothing unusual at the bottom of the spring, but he hadn't fully explored it yet.

said,

Ryan controlled the tree roots to drill into the bottom of the spring silt,

I checked the vicinity of the spring, and there are indeed no living things, but I haven't checked the bottom of the mud. Maybe there are some treasures buried in the soil.
The deepest area of ​​the spring is huge, roughly equivalent to the size of an ordinary large lake.

It is really a big project to turn over the whole underwater mud with a few tree roots.
but,

Ryan has a little time, or what he lacks most is time,
"It took a lot of effort to get to the bottom of the spring, and I'm sorry for myself if I didn't bring something of value back."

Ryan said to himself,

He also used tree roots to try to swallow the silt at the bottom of the spring, and swallowed a lot of [knowledge of absorption] from it. The composition of the soil is similar to that of the spring.

Roots dig into the soil,

Drilled for about 40 meters,
boom,
Looks like it's over,
Hit rock bottom?

wrong!

Just when Ren thought he had knocked down the riverbed at the bottom of the mud, suddenly there was a strange feeling in the roots of the tree. To be precise, there was a huge swallowing force coming from the rocks at the bottom, trying to swallow the roots.

Ryan quickly pulled the roots out of the mud,

Take a closer look,
The ends of several tree roots were already carbonized. Under the pressure of the water flow, the carbonized roots quickly disintegrated and turned into carbon chips and dissolved in the water.

"The nutrients are devoured."

Ren stared at the damaged tree roots thoughtfully. He had seen this kind of situation before. After the old tree man was devoured, his tree body would become this carbonized state. For trees, if the nutrients Total loss would become so,
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the riverbed below?"

"Got to look more clearly."

The root attribute storage location transports the urgently needed nutrient attributes, repairs the damaged tree roots as quickly as possible, and then Ren carefully digs with the roots to clean up the silt accumulated at the bottom.

I have used perspective to investigate before, and there are no red dots or living things at the bottom of the spring, but you can't be careless. In case you encounter a monster like the cannonball fish that masters the core [camouflage] talent, you can use camouflage to escape the [perspective] Not necessarily probing.

Ryan get ready,

He only allowed half of the tree roots to participate in the excavation, and the other part of the roots was ready to trigger [Plundering Light] and [Isseremy's Sigh] at any time, and he would do it as soon as he found something was wrong.

The silt was cleared away bit by bit.
Exposing the ground about half a meter in diameter,

The roots of the tree were close to the cleaned underwater rocks, and they were found to be some very normal ground with no bright spots.

But the feeling of the tree roots being swallowed and carbonized was so clear before,

Ren controlled the roots of the tree, continued to approach, and tried to touch the rocks in the ground. The moment the roots touched the rocks, lines of purple-red light lit up on the ground.

The familiar devouring suction came,
The roots of the trees that touched the rocks at the bottom of the water were devoured and absorbed into carbon dust. Thanks to Ryan's quick response, otherwise the roots would continue to be absorbed, and the carbonization would spread to the entire tree root system.

"I see."

Ren looked thoughtfully at the underwater rocks whose light was gradually dimming.

He repaired the roots, and then continued to dig the soil, digging out more soil, exposing a larger area of ​​underwater rocks,

Cleaned up for a whole day,

Ryan reasoned out an underwater land the size of a standard square, and all the silt that was cleaned up was swallowed up by tree roots and transformed into attributes.
Looking at such a huge underground area, Ren touched the ground with tree roots again, the same light lit up again, and the attraction of devouring hit, as always.
Ryan pulled back the roots,

Looking at the luminous lines on the ground connected together, a complex and regular pattern faintly drawn on the bottom of the water,
Now Ren can finally be sure,
"The ground at the bottom of the entire spring is a large magic circle. There is no doubt that most of the attributes in the spring water are caused by the influence of the magic circle."

Ren has never learned magic, but he has seen the magic circle, that is [Isseremy's Sigh], a similar magic circle will appear when the sighing hand is summoned, although the magic circle pattern of the sighing hand and The bottom of the spring is different, but the magical aura conveyed from the top is similar.
Ren couldn't figure out how the magic circle worked.
However, after knowing the strange secret of the spring water, Ren was thinking about whether to close the magic circle.

Destroying the magic circle is very simple,
Just remove the magic lines on it,
The magic pattern also contains magic in it. If you use the devouring power of the tree roots, you can absorb the magic power little by little, making the operation of the entire magic circle invalid.

But is it all worth it?

Judging from the faint water gushing out from the magic circle, this magic circle should be the source of the spring water. If the magic circle is destroyed, the spring water may dry up, which will affect my future cannonball fish breeding plan.

And even if the magic circle is swallowed and absorbed, at most it will only obtain some insignificant attributes, and the benefits will be far less than the benefits of leaving this magic circle that can continuously produce spring water.

thinking about it,

Ren still thinks it is better not to destroy the giant magic circle at the bottom of the water,
Although he still has many doubts in his heart,
For example, how was the giant magic circle made?Who made it?Why can it continuously produce the attribute of [Absorptive Knack], and why can it continuously spew out spring water?Don't worry about energy conservation.
Ren suppressed many questions in his heart, "When the spring water is no longer needed, the tree demon will come and dismantle the magic circle, and study the secrets hidden in it carefully. Now let the magic circle Keep running."

Subsequently,

Ren stopped paying attention to the giant magic circle carved on the bottom of the water, and turned to explore other places under the water.
