The sky gradually becomes brighter.

The night was uneventful.

Lu Ming slept until he woke up in the middle of the night and never went back to sleep.

He had been paying attention to the movements around him last night, but the black figure never appeared again.

Before the convoy moved forward, Lu Ming lifted the [Aegis]

Not long after, Liu Guangzhi's voice came from the intercom.

"The convoy continues moving forward. We are only a dozen kilometers away from Xinghai District."

Ready to regroup.

Soon the long motorcade continued to move forward, heading towards the Xinghai District.

Lu Ming just followed silently at the back of the convoy.

It wasn't until the car started that the three women in the car woke up.

After half an hour of driving.

The long motorcade finally arrived at the Xinghai District.

However, the convoy did not stop. The headquarters of the Sun God Cult is located in the center of Xinghai District.

After another short journey, the convoy successfully arrived at the headquarters of the Sun God Cult.

As the most familiar person here, Shi Chang got out of the car first and came to Liu Guangzhi's side.

"Captain Liu, there is actually nothing dangerous here. Just be brave."

Seeing that there was some tension in the atmosphere, Shi Chang said.

"I have lived here for a long time and have never encountered any danger. The tree will not attack people."

"The only time was because of the ghost rose incident."

Shi Chang told everyone.

Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, the Sun God Cult he founded here has been attacked by other small forces.

From the beginning to the end, they never encountered any dangerous things. The only thing that caused them some losses was the sudden attack by the Ghost Rose.

"Well, it's always good to be careful."

Liu Guangzhi nodded and just said silently.

But everyone could see that he did not believe Shi Chang's words.

No one knows what that weird tree is.

At this time, Lu Ming strolled over.

"Since Shi Chang said there is no danger, everyone should not be so nervous and just be cautious."

In fact, Lu Ming now also wants to see what that strange big tree is.

After what Shi Chang had told before, the big tree was made up of piles of corpses, and the bark was made of human skin.

The most important thing is life.

This of course made him very curious.

“We don’t know the level of danger this time, so it’s better to be careful.”

Liu Guangzhi was cautious and didn't know whether he really believed what Shi Chang said.

He said to everyone: "Now enter the life point, Shi Chang leads the way."

As the most familiar person here.

It was naturally up to him to lead the way.

Shi Chang didn't object. He walked alone at the front. Compared with the others, he looked relaxed.

Because he knew there was nothing dangerous here.

If there was really any danger, he would have been dead for who knows how long.

"The Sun Gem is just ahead. You should go faster. There is nothing interesting nearby."

Looking back at the nervous people looking around, Shi Chang shook his head.

He didn't know what to say.

But he can also understand these people.

Everyone was worried that they would die this time. If it were him, he would definitely not be so arrogant.

Compared with Shi Chang's relaxed attitude, Lu Ming was not too nervous although he was always paying attention to his surroundings.

He has his confidence.

Whenever something goes wrong, he will immediately open the [Aegis] to protect himself within it.

As for Ku Keke and the others, they followed him closely, as long as there was any danger.

He can take action instantly.

Yang Guobing and Lin Hongliang had nothing to fear.

The two of them looked around curiously out of confidence in their own strength.

Soon.

Everyone came to the rusty iron gate.

But at this moment, the rusty iron gate that originally stood here has disappeared.

Only a few badly damaged fragments remained.

Everyone ignored this and moved on.

Until he got deep inside, he often criticized the strange tree in front of him and said, "Look, this is the Treasure Tree of the Sun."

As his words came out, everyone looked up.

When what they saw entered their minds, everyone froze in place.

Lu Ming is no exception.

When he saw the Sun Treasure Tree in front of him, he felt a little dazed for a moment.

The scene in front of me was really shocking.

What he saw was a huge tree, emitting a foul stench.

The most important thing is that the pieces of tree bark are actually sewn from human skin.

And its branch is a dry white bone.

"This...what the hell is this?"

Liu Guangzhi quickly got out of the shock and asked Shi Chang.

"I don't know either. I only know that he already existed when I came here."

Shi Chang shook his head and said he didn't know either.

"But don't be afraid. This thing is not dangerous and will not attack people."

Seeing everyone's disbelief, he slowly approached the Sun Treasure Tree.

In front of everyone, he stretched out his hand and touched the dry human skin.

"Look, there's nothing dangerous."

After waiting for a few seconds, everyone relaxed after seeing that the strange tree had indeed not launched an attack.

The moment Shi Chang touched the big tree, many people thought he was already dead.

At this time, there were three corpses hanging upside down on the Sun Treasure Tree.

Wang Tiancheng, Hu Yonggen, and Zhou Quancai looked at the three corpses above with greed in their eyes.

"Shi Chang, is this what you said, is there a red fruit in it?"

The three of them stared at the three corpses above.

They looked at each other in tacit understanding, and then nodded.

There happened to be three corpses above, so they didn't need to fight with each other. There was exactly one corpse for each of them.

"Yes, red fruits can be born from the belly of the corpse hanging upside down above."

"But it's not mature yet, so you can't get it even if you want it."

Shi Chang shook his head, knowing what the three of them had planned.

"It will fall off naturally when it matures. If you leave the belly now, there will be no fruit inside."

He said to the three of them.

He had done experiments a long time ago, and there was no fruit in the stomach of corpses cut directly from trees.

As for whether the three of them believed it or not, that was none of his business.

The most he could do was give a reminder.

Liu Guangzhi approached the Sun Treasure Tree cautiously.

His eyes never left for a moment.

He held a long sword in his hand, ready for battle at any time.

Until he got close to the Sun Treasure Tree, imitating Shi Chang's movements and touching the big tree.

And nothing happened.

"Record everything here and convey it to the headquarters at any time."

Liu Guangzhi said to Wang Binbin.

Then his eyes flashed and he noticed the black hole on the tree trunk.

"what is this?"

Liu Guangzhi asked.

"This thing, as long as you throw the corpse in here, it can provide nutrients to the big tree, and then the corpse will grow out of the branches in a dry look."

Shi Chang pointed to the three hanging corpses and explained to Liu Guangzhi.

"In other words, you put those three corpses in?"

"good."

Shi Chang did not deny it, but nodded.

"Then what will happen if a living person goes in?"

"Then I don't know. I've only done experiments on dead people."

"And if anyone goes in alive, there is a high probability that they won't be able to come out."

Shi Chang still shook his head.

Seeing that there was indeed no danger, everyone finally no longer needed to be tense.

Everyone looked at the strange tree in front of them and talked with each other.

But no one dared to move lightly, and no one dared to do anything to this big tree until the matter was clear.

"If you cut off a piece of human skin, will the tree react?"

Liu Guangzhi asked.

He has conveyed all the conditions here to the Nanling combat area through cameras.

What he has to do now is to use a knife to remove some human skin and bones and take them back for study.

"This...I don't know."

Shi Chang's expression paused.

He had always regarded this big tree as the treasure tree of the Sun God Sect, so he would never do anything to harm the treasure tree.

How is it possible to know what is inside some human skin and what will happen?

If because of this move, the big tree no longer produces red fruits, then who can he ask to reason?

At this time, Liu Guangzhi also hesitated. He had already raised his sword, but suddenly stopped.

Since he couldn't guarantee what would happen next if he harmed the big tree, he didn't dare to act rashly.

If this big tree suddenly attacked, not everyone present might survive.

Just as he was hesitating whether to try to cut a little open with his long sword first to see the reaction of the human skin tree.

If there is no reaction, he will continue to attack.

Just make a small opening and nothing dangerous should happen.

Think so.

Just when he was about to take action, a cry suddenly sounded in the sky.

This sound was very harsh, and everyone was shocked.

The sudden sound startled everyone.

Lu Ming was no exception and subconsciously opened the [Aegis] immediately.

A blue light barrier appeared, enveloping all its people.

The originally quiet atmosphere was instantly broken, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

All the major forces gathered together, and everyone was ready to fight and deal with emergencies that might happen at any time.

Liu Guangzhi also had a serious expression on his face and held the sword in his hand tightly.

Shi Chang was no exception. Following the long and piercing sound just now, his originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense.

Under everyone's gaze, a creature with two tentacles on its head and a pair of big wings behind it, resembling a big bear, suddenly appeared not far away.

The long and piercing cry just now came from its throat.

Lu Ming looked at this thing. It was dark, fat, and had four limbs like pillars.
