The sound gradually disappeared throughout the space, and everything returned to silence again.
Lu Lei looked at the terrifying scene in front of him, and he gradually felt a little scared. He also climbed this big tree to gain super powers.
In addition to being curious at the beginning, he also had the same greed as the person just now. Even now, he is very greedy. After resurrecting the tree, he will gain all the superpowers on it.
If he had known at that time that this tree could eat people, let alone letting him climb up, he would have felt a chill all over his body even when he walked nearby.
At this time, the old man sitting on the bluestone took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Now you know you are afraid?"
Lu Lei's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the old man. He couldn't help but look at the old man: "Old man, this tree is so scary. I really can't imagine that I had the courage to climb on top of it to pick fruits."
This kind of thought would scare even a normal person, let alone Lu Lei.
But the old man smoked a cigarette very normally, as if everything was within his expectation.
After a moment, he slowly asked again: "If this is the truth about this tree, do you still dare to pick the fruit from it?"
"You give up now and I let you leave here. But you will never come back."
Lu Lei was a little worried at this time: "Will my powers change?"
"When the time comes, you will lose all your powers and all memories of this place. You will completely become an ordinary person. Neither Deep Blue nor Dawn Group has anything to do with you."
There are two choices before Lu Lei. One is to live a safe life without any crisis. The other could die at any moment, but would most likely succeed.
One faces difficulties and the other retreats.
It seems like there are two choices, but in fact there is only one choice.
Advance or retreat...
Faced with such a choice, Lu Lei's eyes gradually became determined. He thoroughly understood that if the prerequisite for success was death, then it would be a big deal to die again, since he had already died once anyway. What's the point of dying again?
"Old man, I figured it out! No matter how difficult the next road is, or even full of thorns, I will go through it."
Lu Lei's answer made the old man very satisfied. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Lei: "You actually made a good choice. Let me tell you another truth. All the superpowers on this tree were obtained through his sacrifice. .”
Just as the old man finished speaking, the big tree seemed to understand the old man's words, and a round fruit grew from the branches.
The fruit was the size of a basketball, and it was transparent from top to bottom, as if clear water was rolling inside. Right in the center of the sphere, there is a faint blue figure.
The old man took the last puff of his cigarette and patted the soles of his shoes with the long cigarette rod. He stood up and pointed the cigarette rod at the round fruit on the branch, and said slowly: "That power is exactly the power of the person you sacrificed just now. It's very easy for you to get him now. There is no trial."
"But you also get the downside of that power."
Lu Lei naturally knew what the shortcomings of that power were, and he was taking advantage of this shortcoming to sacrifice that person.
But Lu Lei is not worried about this shortcoming. He has more than just such a power.
Since he could get superpowers without going through trials, he couldn't wait to have that superpower in his hands.
So he did what he had done at the beginning. He stepped onto the trunk of the big tree in two steps, and jumped into the air with his whole body. He wanted to land on the branch closest to the ground, but he didn't realize it until he jumped in the air. The branches closest to the ground have become somewhat taller.
Has the big tree grown again?
It's not like that, because just after a person was sacrificed, white ashes appeared again at the roots of the tree, and the entire tree grew taller with those white ashes.
Of course, Lu Lei didn't know anything about this. When he was already flying in the air, he realized that he was riding a tiger.
The only way to land on it is to work harder.
Then his feet landed on the dark tree trunk again. Makes two knocking sounds.
The body flies up again. Only then did it fall dangerously on the branch.
The ability like a transparent water ball is now only one foot away.
As long as he stretches out his hand, he can get the superpower.
This time, he did not take the fruit into his hands. Instead, he sat on it and wanted to ask the old man below.
When he looked down, the old man disappeared at some point.
Even the bluestone he was sitting on disappeared without a trace.
That dark place was now pure white. It was as if the old man did not appear.
Lu Lei rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe that a living person suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes.
He shouted at the root of the tree: "Old man!"
The sound continued to echo below, and the echo was like a repeater repeating over and over again.
"Lu Lei, are you ready?"
At this time, a familiar voice sounded above his head. Lu Lei looked up following the voice and saw the person who looked exactly like him staring at him.
The man had short, neat hair and two eyebrows like sword blades. He looked very capable.
Lu Lei didn't have a single hair on his head, but he looked much more sinister.
From the outside, Lu Lei looks more like a villain, while that one is the protagonist who kills the villain.
"I'm back? I'm really back?"
Seeing the familiar person appear, Lu Lei shouted excitedly. He never imagined that he would come back here again.
Lu Lei looked towards the root of the tree again and asked the identical person next to him: "Have you seen an old man there?"
The man who looked exactly like Lu Lei looked towards the root of the tree with a surprised look on his face and found that there was no one underneath. He couldn't help but ask Lu Lei: "Is there anyone down there?"
Lu Lei turned around and saw the person who was very familiar with him, especially the strange look in his eyes. He knew that he would not know about the old man's things, and if he continued to talk about it, he would only be considered to be mentally ill, so he immediately responded: "No one! Just now I saw it wrong."
Hearing what Lu Lei said, the man didn't care. He jumped back again, sat on the tree, and asked Lu Lei: "Are you still going to continue the trial?"
"Of course continue! But wait for me."
Lu Lei immediately replied. He picked up the water balloon-like fruit next to him, held it in front of his chest with both hands, and slowly closed his eyes.
At this moment, the inside of the water ball began to surge, as if the clear water inside was constantly rolling inside. As time went by, the clear water rolled more and more frequently, and it felt like there was some force stirring the clear water inside.
As time went on, the scrolling inside became more and more rapid.
The clear water seemed to boil away at this moment and began to bubble continuously.
A powerful stream of water vapor filled the water polo, and for a moment the entire water polo appeared pale white.
Even the round shape began to gradually change.
