Chapter 759 (2/2)
The two of them appeared incredibly miniscule compared to the forest . Long Chen quickly noticed that things were off . This place was too quiet, practically deathly quiet . A dense aura of death filled the air .
Long Chen felt a chill . But he needed these trees’ branches or fruits in order to limitlessly duplicate them .
The two of them didn’t make a sound as they slowly approached . They had completely concealed their auras . They had even closed their pores, afraid of releasing any odor .
As they approached, Long Chen realized that these trees were even larger than he had thought from afar . Furthermore, they weren’t all one kind . But each one of them was incredibly huge . Long Chen was like an ant in front of them .
Long Chen found a pit that was the size of a basket . It looked like a huge walnut . But he was disappointed to find that there was no life within it . It was just an empty sh.e.l.l that he couldn’t plant .
He didn’t continue deeper into the forest . His intuition told him that there was something exceedingly terrifying within the depths of this forest . This feeling made his scalp numb, and he felt a chill in his bones .
He had never felt such a terrifying premonition before . The Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s senses had never tricked him . There had to be something incredibly terrifying within the forest .
Even in the face of the eighth rank Blackscale Soaring Serpent, he hadn’t felt such a thing, even when he hadn’t taken out the dragon scale . And it had to be known that without the dragon scale, the Blackscale Soaring Serpent could kill him in one blow .
In other words, whatever was within this forest was hundreds of times more terrifying than that Blackscale Soaring Serpent, or perhaps thousands of times more terrifying .
Long Chen had Meng Qi wait for him on the fringe . If something happened, they could immediately communicate spiritually .
He climbed to the top of one of the trees . Because it was so tall, the dense foliage blocked his sight, and he couldn’t see Meng Qi anymore . But he could still sense her soul .
At the top of the tree, he found a large fruit . That fruit was three feet wide and shaped like a coconut . Long Chen didn’t dare to use his saber . Instead, he gently broke it off with his hands .
When he tossed the fruit into the primal chaos s.p.a.ce, he was startled to find that the resulting sapling was incredibly large .
While it was still just a soft shoot, it had already reached a height of dozens of meters . It only began to harden and mature upon reaching a height of three hundred meters . He hastily snapped off a branch and planted it as well .
The primal chaos s.p.a.ce didn’t disappoint him . The branch also began to slowly grow . That relieved him, and then he stealthily climbed down the tree .
He saw Meng Qi waiting for him worriedly . She felt extremely uneasy . This forest was too strange . If they stayed here for too long, they would go crazy .
Long Chen gently touched her face to comfort her . He pointed to another huge tree and the two of them quietly walked over . Meng Qi once more stayed down to keep watch .
This tree was different from the previous one . It was actually covered in azure scales .
Since they had arrived here, Long Chen wanted to get as many seeds as possible . These trees were too big, and he didn’t have enough time to grow them to their limit in the primal chaos s.p.a.ce . He could only tell how much life energy they had in their sapling state .
There was no way he could wait longer . Danger was everywhere here . Staying even an extra minute might be fatal . So Long Chen was only planning on getting the seeds from the closest trees before leaving .
If the trees he picked had less life energy in them than the others in the forest, he could only resign himself to his bad luck . He definitely couldn’t stay here for too long .
Long Chen took seeds from three more large trees . Then looking around, he saw another kind of huge tree .
This tree had natural lines on its leaves that looked like runes . Furthermore, this tree was even larger than the others . It looked ten times wider than them .
Long Chen’s heart immediately began to quicken . Originally, he had been planning on leaving now . But now that he saw this huge tree, he couldn’t move .
In the end, he clenched his teeth and walked over . His greed had won . He began to climb the tree .
Once he reached the top, he suddenly found that this tree had no fruits . Was it a male?
Helpless, Long Chen looked around . He saw a small branch around the thickness of an arm . He pulled but found that this branch was extremely st.u.r.dy . It didn’t immediately break .
That made him extremely startled . With his current power, he could snap an Enchanted weapon with his bare hands . But he was unable to snap a branch .
He didn’t try any harder . Such a strong branch would cause a loud noise if he broke it with brute force . In this deathly silent forest, that was definitely not good .
He stealthily took out Blooddrinker . Blood-red light flashed as the branch was cut off . But where it was cut, a red liquid began to flow out like blood .
“Not good!”
Long Chen’s expression completely changed . The large tree suddenly shuddered, and countless branches gathered around Long Chen, forming a cage .
