I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 189 Tree cannibals gather together and conflict begins

"This this……"

Everyone present was stunned. They subconsciously took a step back and looked at the mummy in front of them, their pupils filled with horror.

They have been wandering around the world for many years, and they have never seen any kind of corpse. A mummy is just a trivial matter.

But most of them were either killed by humans or died of natural causes. This was the first time they had seen trees killing people!

Everyone present could see clearly just now that the person who killed the middle-aged Martial Artist was not Lin Chen or anyone else, but the trees around him wrapped their bodies around him with branches and then sucked him to death!

Not poisonous insects, not animals, but big trees - cannibals? !

"What the hell?!"

"This, this is...a monster?!"

"Get away from the trees!"

The faces of those who were close to the trees instantly turned pale, and they took a few steps back, not daring to approach any trees.

The old Taoist priest stared at the man in front of him, turned his head suddenly and asked:

"Little friend, what on earth is going on?!"

Lin Chen didn't reply, but turned around and looked aside.

The old Taoist priest was stunned when he saw this. He was feeling a little confused when he suddenly heard screams coming from not far away.

Is this... someone being attacked again? ! No, that's not right!

He looked around and found that everyone was present and no one was attacked. Therefore, it was not them who were attacked, but people from the imperial court or aristocratic families.

"Let's go over and have a look. After all, we've come here and we have to meet many people. Besides, wouldn't there be more power if there are more people?" Lin Chen smiled slightly, raised his legs and walked over.

When the old Taoist priest saw this scene, his face was a little uncertain. When he arrived at the place of real immortal Ascension, he did not want to meet the imperial family so quickly to avoid conflicts.

Seeing that Lin Chen was determined to do this, he had no choice but to follow him.

Even though he has Innate's strength, he is considered a first-class figure in the mortal world, but in the terrifying dense forest and the mysterious land of Ascension, he can only barely have the ability to protect himself.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's knowledge that the entire team had avoided most of the poisonous insects and beasts and escaped the Miasma Mother's attack, they probably wouldn't have been completely wiped out.

Now that he encountered a strange situation like trees eating people, he had no better way to deal with it and could only follow Lin Chen's advice.

'After this time, not only do we need to study the existence of immortals, but we also have to learn about Miao magic and supernatural legends by analogy, instead of just focusing on Taoist classics and martial arts techniques...'

The old Taoist priest secretly made a decision in his heart. This trip to the dense forest has made him realize the importance of knowledge.

The other people in the team looked at each other, and then followed them silently.

After all, people follow the crowd. When encountering danger, a person who knows more and has an independent opinion can easily make people follow him subconsciously.

In this way, the entire team followed Lin Chen directly. During this period, they also carefully kept a distance from every tree. Although it was unclear whether this was useful, at least if something went wrong, there was a chance to escape.

Soon, not far from the woods, human figures were vaguely visible, and there were wailing and roaring sounds. Not only that, there was also a strong smell of burning.

Fire attack?

Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he seemed to understand something. He came closer and looked forward, and saw people from the two forces.

However, they were not fighting each other, but instead fighting countless branches.

Yes, branches, branches of trees.

Amidst the billowing smoke, countless branches covered with barbs swept out crazily, constantly pulling the people around them into it, and not long after, a burning mummy was thrown out!

Under the continuous sucking of human bodies, the flames on this strange tree began to slowly extinguish, and then countless new branches grew on the trunk.

"Use saltpeter! Ice attack! Ice attack!"

"Master, there is no water!"

"Your Majesty, be careful!"

Seeing this scene, the crowd became more and more panicked and hurriedly backed away. However, at this moment, hundreds of branches flew out of the strange tree and rolled up fiercely. Suddenly, more than a dozen people were forcefully pulled to the tree. !

"No!"

The entangled person let out a shrill scream and felt like barbs were piercing his whole body, and he felt a sharp pain that sucked out the bones and marrow!

But at this moment, an old eunuch with a somewhat feminine face who was entangled in branches, his eyes stern in vain, a powerful breath came out of his body, he stretched out his hand, and the long sword on his waist was suddenly unsheathed!

"You monster, suffer death!"

An extremely cold sword light, with a bone-chilling chill, bloomed around him, and then completely penetrated the strange tree!

"A mere monster, if the Sa family hadn't wanted to protect His Majesty, they would have been killed long ago... huh?!" The old eunuch who had just landed said lightly, and just as he was about to turn around, his body stopped.

Because at some point, a root emerged from the soil and wrapped tightly around his ankle.

"No, counterattack before death!"

The old eunuch seemed to understand something at this moment, his expression changed drastically, and before he had time to pull away, he was enveloped by countless branches that instantly stretched out from the collapsed tree next to him!

"ah!!!"

The screams echoed throughout the entire venue, and everyone present became horrified when they saw this.

Because the old eunuch, who was a real Innate Martial Artist, was planted under a strange tree.

Not only that, the strange tree that was cut in half actually stretched out countless roots, and as the branches moved, it slowly stood up from the ground!

After absorbing the essence and blood of an Innate Martial Artist, the severely damaged strange tree began to recover on its own!

"Why are you still standing there? Set fire." At this time, Lin Chen's faint voice sounded among the court and the family.

They seemed to have just come back to their senses, and shouted with panic in their voices: "Set fire, set fire!"

boom!

Almost all the kerosene brought in was thrown on the strange tree. Then, several torches were thrown down, and a raging fire started!

In the raging fire, the old eunuch was wailing and trying to struggle out, but was tightly entangled by the strange tree. In the end, they turned into a twisted black shadow in the flames!

"Finally, finally dead..." The old emperor sat slumped on the ground, staring at the scene in front of him, with a look of shock and anger on his face.

He originally had a plan in mind before coming in, but he didn't expect that this terrifying dense forest caused them to lose two-thirds of their troops in one fell swoop.

After coming in, I encountered this terrifying strange tree. Not only did I lose more than fifty people, but I also lost an Innate in one fell swoop.

The latter is particularly important. You must know that even if you put in all your efforts, you may not be able to cultivate an Innate Martial Artist. Unexpectedly, it failed here!

'No, we can't go on like this...' the old emperor thought to himself, feeling a sense of regret in his heart.

It wasn't that he regretted killing one of his Innates, but that he shouldn't have come in personally.

After all, whether he or those in power in the aristocratic family, who among the secular world is not a big shot?

They could have waited for the results outside, or sent people in, or used their forces to hunt down those who came out of the land of Ascension to get the maximum results.

But after all, I was motivated by profit, coupled with the fear of changes, and I felt that I would never go anywhere no matter how dangerous it was, so I came in person, and ended up in this situation.

'No, we can't go on like this, we must find a way to break the situation...'

The old emperor's eyes became more and more sinister, like a poisonous snake, and he kept scanning among the people. When he saw Lin Chen, he suddenly stopped.

If he remembered correctly, it was this kid's reminder just now that allowed them to kill the monster in time. Could it be that he knew something?

The old emperor also knew that this association was a bit far-fetched, but he couldn't care so much about the random treatment of diseases.

If you can't deal with these monsters and they all die here, then there will be no talk of immortality!

The old emperor looked at Lin Chen with malicious eyes and said, "You know something, why don't you call me quickly?"

Lin Chen stood there and glanced at him lightly, ignoring him.

The old emperor couldn't help but became furious and ordered: "You guys, hurry up and catch that kid who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors!"

The eunuchs beside him looked at each other and stepped away.

His aura is sharp and his steps are vigorous. It is obvious that he is also a master of martial arts.

"You brat, how dare you disobey the emperor's order? Let the Sa family train you well today..."

Before the old eunuch finished speaking, his tone suddenly stopped and his face turned pale.

Because as he flew forward, he was stopped abruptly by a branch!

"No, it's that monster..." The old eunuch's face changed drastically, and before he could react, they were swept away by the tree next to them and turned into nourishing fertilizer!
