"water?"
Su Chen heard this and glanced at Qin Jue who was standing aside:
"Did you bring water?"
Qin Jue glanced at him in surprise, and then looked at the "living person" lying on the ground.
After a moment of hesitation, he opened the backpack on his back and took out a bottle of water.
When passing it over, he didn’t forget to say:
"Because it's not a long-term mission and it's quite dangerous, I brought two bottles of water."
"Well, you can keep the other bottle for yourself."
Su Chen unscrewed the bottle cap, and then with a thought, a group of crystal water drops was wrapped in his spiritual power, taken out of the bottle, and fed to the man's mouth.
Looking at the flower growing out of his mouth, Su Chen felt like he was watering the flower for some reason.
After gulping down more than half of the bottle of water, Su Chen returned the bottle to Qin Jue, and then said to the man in front of him:
"Can you listen to me?"
"......Can."
A weak voice came from the man's mouth, and his eyes finally opened a little.
"Thank you...thank you."
"What's going on with you? Or to put it another way, are you alive or dead now?" Su Chen looked at the flower growing out of his mouth and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know." The man shook his head and seemed to be smiling bitterly:
"When we were performing a mission deep into the city center, our team was discovered by tree men and attacked by tree men. There was a very special tree man among them. The other tree men all had bark-like skin and were wrapped with vines. state, but this tree man is covered with flowers and plants."
"We encountered these tree people, so we could only open fire, but we were quickly surrounded by tree people. Many brothers fell down. In the end, I was pierced through the chest by a tree man's hand. That special tree man, at that time, I felt that I was dead, so I was ready to fight with that bastard, and I would have to support him even to the death."
"So I endured the pain and stabbed it on the head more than a dozen times with my saber. It was very chaotic at that time. All I knew was that we were very close. When I stabbed it, a lot of smelly juice burst out from its head. , some even flew into my mouth, and vaguely I seemed to feel something like a stone flying into my mouth."
"But I didn't care about so much at that time. After killing this special tree man, I was exhausted and planned to wait for death. But at this moment, an inexplicable force suddenly came over me. The power rising inside my body was so huge that it instantly made me feel like I had become a superman."
"Then I used this brute force to fight my way out of the surroundings of hundreds of tree people and escaped here. However, after I got here, my injuries were too severe and the communication equipment was broken. There was nothing I could do. After contacting the headquarters, we could only find this ruins on the roadside and hide in."
Special tree people, inexplicable power...
Su Chen frowned when he heard this, not knowing what this was.
Then he looked back at Qin Jue.
Upon seeing this, Qin Jue pondered for a moment and said:
"The special tree people he described do exist, but they are very few in number. We have photographed them with drones. Most of these tree people are in the core area of the city center and rarely appear in the periphery. We have not killed any of them so far. Naturally, it is impossible to capture and study the records, so I don’t know what’s special about them.”
As she said that, she looked at the man:
"Please tell me your unit and number, as well as your name. I need to confirm your information."
"Zhou Qing, Eighty-second Army..."
The man weakly reported his identity as required.
Qin Jue immediately took out his communication device and sent the message back for questioning. After a while, he nodded to Su Chen and said:
"Yes, about seven hours ago, their special forces team was dispatched to the city center to perform an exploration mission. It has been determined that the entire army has been wiped out. Unexpectedly, he survived."
"Then what should we do with him now?" Su Chen turned around and asked.
This guy didn't look like he could still fight. Now that they were going to a dangerous place like the city center, they definitely couldn't take him with them.
"I have contacted the headquarters. After the bombing and incendiary bombing, it is considered a semi-safe area. A rescue team will come to find him soon." Qin Jue said:
"Let's go first."
Su Chen looked at the man, then at the big tree, then nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go first."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the man suddenly said:
"You...do you want to get the mythical beast egg from under the tree in the city center?"
"Sacred beast egg?" Su Chen was startled, looked at him and said:
"What do you mean? You mean that bead?"
"Yeah, it seems you don't know yet." The man sighed:
"After I was seriously injured and fell into coma, I always felt that I had some kind of connection with this big tree, and I also learned some information about it."
"The bead that was confirmed as the source of the big tree's mutation is actually the egg of a mythical beast."
"Eggs of mythical beasts? There are no mythical beasts on Blue Star. Even if there are, how could its eggs appear in Nanmu City?" Qin Jue frowned.
"Because of the changes in the world, you, and research institutions around the world, are different from what everyone imagined. There is no reason to follow it. Past science will be completely useless in the future. The logic behind the emergence of mythical beast eggs , Of course, it’s also something that we people can’t understand.” The man smiled miserably:
"That's what I know."
"This is Nanmu City. It used to be the ancient capital of several dynasties and the place where dragon veins gathered. After the great changes in the world, the dragon veins here revived and finally condensed this mythical beast egg that carries luck and rules."
"It's just that its luck didn't seem to be very good. It had just been born, and it didn't even have birth awareness. It happened to encounter this mutated tree. The big tree didn't have independent consciousness at that time, and it was no different from those mutated ferocious beasts. But he instinctively grasped the essence of heaven and earth, the egg of a mythical beast, and then absorbed the power within it, and finally he could grow so rapidly."
After hearing what he said, Qin Jue fainted.
After being stunned for a while, he couldn't help but ask:
"What kind of place where dragon veins gather, what kind of magical beast egg carries luck... Are you sure you are still clear-headed now?"
"Hehehe, I am very sober. It can even be said that I have never been so sober in my life. Didn't I just say that these things are difficult to understand with modern people's thinking, but I just happen to be sober in this special way. I have established a connection with the big tree, so I can understand it." The man said and looked at Su Chen:
"Of course, not all modern people don't understand these things. For example, this gentleman, he must understand, right?"
