One Piece Dragon Lord

Chapter 356 : The source of upgraded

The sound of the crashing water is getting louder and louder, and Gu Chen knows that the location of the big waterfall should be not far away.

At the foot is a forest with relatively few trees. There are no lush old trees. Most of the trees are just sparse branches and leaves. The branches and leaves are still glowing with a little red light. Obviously those upgraded genes have also come from the land. Follow the root of the tree and flow into the tree body.

He is not in the mood to stop to appreciate the difference of these trees. It’s walking toward the goal unswervingly.

At this moment, Gu Chen suddenly felt that there was some movement behind him. After suddenly turning his head, he found nothing.

The weird atmosphere became more and more serious, and Gu Chen also gradually slowed down. He no longer looked back, walking while waiting for the strange movement behind him to strike.

Whoosh–

A very small sound rang under his feet, and Gu Chen lowered his eyes alertly and glanced at the abnormality under his feet.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that something was entangled in his ankle. He immediately mobilized his internal strength, with Haki that could not be resisted, and frightened what was entangled in his ankle, and he froze there and stopped moving.

Gu Chen pulled out his feet, turned around, lowered his head and looked at what was under his feet.

This is a small group of dark and bloody vines.

Following the direction in which the vines stretched, Gu Chen discovered that there are still many such silent sneak attack vines coming towards him, and these vines are all sticking out from the surrounding black and red trees.

And Erha and Erqi who followed him were long gone, and 80% of them were swept away by these vines.

There was no sound at all, and Gu Chen started to feel a little displeased.

Looking around, he saw two large clusters of vines on the two trees, entwining two things in them.

As soon as Gu Chen stretched out his hand, a white sword appeared in his hand instantly.

“court death.”

He spit out two words and rushed over with a sword.

Two dazzling white lights flashed by surprise, Gu Chen had put away the white sword and stood on the ground.

“Wow–”

The voices of Erha and Erqi came from the vines that were gradually dissipating.

After a while, gray hair finally appeared.

The two gray wolves who had regained their freedom immediately returned to Gu Chen’s side. The shock was still there, and they were still breathing non-stop with their tongues out.

Gu Chen took out the water in his backpack and gave them a wolf drink.

The two gray wolves slowly regained their spirits, as if they felt that Gu Chen had saved their life. When they set off, they seemed to like to be next to him more than before.

Gu Chen looked helplessly at these two goods, thinking that there might be a place to replenish water in front of him, so he was willing to give them water to drink.

At this time, the vines sticking out of the tree all shrank away, and when they saw Gu Chen, they couldn’t avoid it as if they had seen a ghost.

Gu Chen quickly walked through the woods, and the sound of water he heard became louder and louder. He should have turned over the small hill in front of him to see the magnificent waterfall. He even had some expectations in his heart.

However, when he really surpassed this mountain, the sight in front of him instantly turned his face down.

This is indeed a waterfall, but

This waterfall is not ordinary water, but, bright red water like blood!

The following large amounts of blood red made Gu Chen couldn’t help but take a breath of heat.

This waterfall, about twenty feet high, with bright red water flying down from above, picking up the mist that filled the entire valley, all glowing with light red color.

The remaining bright red water flows slowly to the west along a small river that is neither wide nor narrow.

What is striking is that the splashes of water that fell on the surrounding rock walls or the water bank did not leave the slightest trace. There were no water stains or moss, but just fresh water. As soon as it fell, it was directly absorbed by the earth and rock walls.

This is the end of those dead animal corpses!

Gu Chen wanted to see where the waterfall came from. If he guessed correctly, this is the source of the upgraded gene on the island. The blood-red water and the running river may have some branches at a certain place, so that these upgraded genes can be spread across the island through the water.

When animals drink this water, they will be upgraded. When the water seeps into the ground and is absorbed by plants, the plants will also be upgraded.

Then the entire island can’t escape the influence of this upgraded gene.

I don’t know if they have used sweet blood on the other two roads. The land under their feet is probably the land that already has the poison of sweet blood.

But if you pour sweet blood into the waterfall at this source

Then, what will the entire island look like?

Gu Chen has no way to predict the consequences for the time being. In case the entire island is poisoned, I am afraid that they will not escape the disaster.

Therefore, Gu Chen did not do such a risky thing for the time being, but was thinking of a way to go to the top of the waterfall first, find the source, and unlock the secret of its root.

At the same time, Princess Lei Jiu and Demon Blade King were almost at the end of the swamp.

Suddenly, the Demon Blade King, who seemed to be in the wrong direction, walked up to Princess Lei Jiu strangely and asked, “Are we in the wrong direction? How do I feel that we are heading east? Do you miss your Royal Highness and want to find it? He?”

The half-joking guess of the Demon Blade King made Lord Lei Jiu 903’s cheeks flushed, turned his face away, and cursed: “I didn’t want you to walk a little less on the swamp, first go to a place where there is no swamp to rest. Find another way and go around.”

Princess Lei Jiu explained her route but was questioned by the Demon Blade King.

“Is it too time-consuming to go around?”

“It takes time, and it’s always faster than your snail’s slow speed. If you don’t make a detour, there is still a long way to go in the marshland in front. Before we get there, it won’t be exhausted and will be heated. died!”

Princess Lei Jiu complained to him.

Although she didn’t want to take a detour to waste time, her eyes swept across the ground below her feet and the indistinguishable swamp, which really felt a headache.

“Our journey was originally very small, but when you say that, it seems to have changed. If we, who have the least journey, become the last to reach the destination, it would be a shame.”

The Demon Blade King no longer refutes her, but mourns and talks coldly. It seems ashamed that as long as he is not alone, he doesn’t care at all.

Princess Lei Jiu’s headache worsened, and she never wanted to go back and talk to him. She walked forward on her own, carefully probing the way with the branch in her hand.

The Demon Blade King drank another drink of water before slowly following it. After a while, he fell behind Princess Lei Jiu for a long time. .
