Eternal Sun

————————A big chapter of four thousand words!

Outside Xiri City, all the tribesmen were busy cleaning up the battlefield.

Although the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood made everyone feel a little uncomfortable, at the same time they also showed happy expressions on their faces.

After all, although these animals are dead, they can be used as food reserves!

Although not all animals are edible, excluding those that are, the remaining harvest is still an astronomically huge amount!

As for the question of whether too much meat will go bad if left for a long time, there is no need to worry about that.

Firstly, there are also people among the tribe who have mastered the ability of ice and can create an environment similar to the current super cold storage.

In this way, the meat can be preserved for a very long time after being frozen.

Secondly, although there is a lot of meat now, both the Xiri people and the Zhuri Wolf Clan actually have very large appetites.

It can be said that except for Yang Sheng himself, all the people and wolves in the entire Xiri City are big eaters.

Therefore, the consumption rate of these meats will actually be very fast, at least they will be completely consumed before they go bad.

……

Watching the tribesmen happily cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Sheng did not forget to instruct some of the tribesmen on the city wall to remain on guard to avoid any mishaps.

As for Yang Sheng himself, he did not help to clean up the battlefield, but stood at the edge of the battlefield and watched his tribesmen busy themselves.

Then, he turned his gaze to the depths of the forest.

"Although we survived the beast tide this time, it's not my personality to passively take a beating."

Yang Sheng intends to solve the problem once and for all.

Even if it cannot be solved once and for all, at least the other party must pay a sufficient price.

"Although those big lizards are probably the most powerful force in this forest, it would be really annoying if a beast tide came every now and then."

Thinking of this, Yang Sheng found Yang Xu and four others, as well as three elders including Yang Liming.

"Everyone, next I plan to go deep into the forest to find the real source of this crisis."

Yang Sheng looked at the people in front of him and said.

"Everything in the city will be left to you until I return."

Hearing this, Yang Xu, Yang Hao, Yang Yao, and Yang Qing could no longer sit still.

"Chief, please take us with you."

"Yes, Chief, wouldn't it be too weak for you to go alone?"

"Yes, yes, my father and his men are in charge of the city, so we should go with you."

Seeing how enthusiastic they were, Yang Sheng thought for a moment, then looked at Yang Liming and the other three elders.

"Chief, just watch us and do whatever you want."

Seeing Yang Sheng looking at him, Yang Liming spoke first.

Seeing Yang Liming say this, Yang Sheng turned around and said to Yang Xu and the other three.

"Well, bring your companions with you and we will go deep into the forest and try to completely eliminate the hidden dangers that threaten us."

Hearing this, Yang Xu and the other three left happily to find their partners, that is, their respective Sun-Chasing Wolf companions.

Yang Sheng stayed and explained some other matters to Yang Liming and other three elders.

When Yang Xu and his four companions and the four Sun-Chasing Wolves returned, Yang Sheng immediately led them directly into the forest and disappeared from the sight of the tribesmen.

……

In the vast forest, several figures quickly shuttled between the trees.

They are all very tall, but their speed and agility are amazing.

This time, Yang Sheng’s purpose was very clear, which was the giant ancient tree that Zhuri had mentioned to him at the beginning, which seemed to be the external manifestation of the forest consciousness!

Although they have not seen the giant ancient tree yet, Yang Sheng's intuition tells him that as long as they can deal with this ancient tree, they will not have to worry about the threat from the forest consciousness, at least for a long time in the future.

In Yang Sheng's understanding, the so-called forest consciousness should be similar to the planetary consciousness in the legend of Chenxing, but it is a super low-profile version. It is a huge collective formed by the intersection of the consciousness of all plants in the entire forest.

However, judging by the opponent's actions in recent times, it should not be able to directly interfere with the real world on its own.

And that ancient tree is most likely the only means by which the forest consciousness can currently interfere with the real world.

Based on daily memories and the memories of its elders.

That ancient tree has been there for who knows how long.

At least when Zhuri saw the ancient tree, it already looked like that.

In other words, it should be a means of exerting influence on the outside world that the forest consciousness has cultivated since who knows how long ago.

As far as Zhuri could tell, there was only one such tree in the entire forest!

In other words, even the forest consciousness cannot possess multiple giant ancient trees at the same time as a means of external defense.

The time required to cultivate such a giant ancient tree can be said to be extremely long.

Therefore, as long as they get rid of the giant ancient tree, the other party will most likely have no means to do anything to them.

……

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Yang Sheng, along with Yang Xu and four others, as well as Zhuri and the others, traveled quickly all the way without stopping at all.

This was the first time they had traveled so far away from Xiri City.

As they went deeper into the forest, they saw many amazing animals, plants and phenomena.

But for Yang Sheng, none of them could threaten their safety.

Because they were moving so fast, they even encountered many animals fleeing in panic as they went deeper into the center of the forest.

With the transformed brains of Yang Sheng and others, they can easily recognize that these animals are members of the beast tide that besieged Xiri City.

However, when he thought that they were merely controlled by the forest consciousness, Yang Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to them.

Their undisguised progress through the forest naturally attracted the attention of the forest consciousness.

The forest consciousness felt uneasy, so the closer they got to the central area, the more obstacles Yang Sheng and others encountered.

Affected animals kept coming to attack them.

At the same time, there are all kinds of extremely aggressive plants trying to kill them!

At the very least, we must stop them and prevent them from moving forward.

Unfortunately, with the strength of Yang Sheng and others, although these obstacles are annoying, they cannot stop them.

……

Finally, under Zhuri's guidance, they overcame all the obstacles.

When they passed through a forest again, the view in front of them suddenly became much wider.

Just in front of them was a relatively open area.

The center of this area is a small hill with a large area but a low height.

The hilltop is covered with green grass and colorful flowers, which looks magnificent.

And in the center of the hill, stands a towering ancient tree.

In Yang Sheng's opinion, this towering ancient tree was at least three hundred meters tall.

The diameter of the main trunk reaches an astonishing 50 meters.

Countless branches extend from the extremely thick trunk, which is lush and full of vitality!

At this time, there were several giant lizard beasts of the same type that Yang Sheng and others had killed before guarding the giant tree.

Seeing Yang Sheng and others appear, the giant lizard beasts rushed over without hesitation.

"Roar!"

Yang Sheng can be said to be very familiar with dealing with these giant lizard beasts.

"Shhhhh!"

Everyone immediately dispersed, not giving these giant lizard beasts any more opportunities to perform.

"boom!"

"boom!"

The terrifying force is raging, fire at full power!

Even though one of these giant lizards was as big as the super giant lizard, they only lasted less than ten minutes.

"Roar……"

With a dull thud, the huge lizard beasts fell to the ground and died.

At this time, the area around the hill was already in a mess.

All the flowers, plants and trees were destroyed, and the blood of the giant lizard dyed a large area of ​​land red.

But Yang Sheng and others didn’t think it was a pity.

After successfully dealing with the giant lizard, they no longer wasted time, but quickly approached the giant tree, attempting to quickly resolve the situation and get rid of the towering ancient tree.

……

However, the facts have proved that although the towering ancient tree is like a turtle in a jar at this moment, it still possesses extraordinary means.

"Puff puff!"

When Yang Sheng and others approached the ancient tree to a certain distance, the trunk of the ancient tree suddenly began to shake violently.

Immediately afterwards, countless leaves collectively changed direction, and their structure seemed to have undergone other changes. From a distance, they looked like blades.

"Shhhhh!"

In an instant, countless leaves fell off the branches like bullets and swept towards Yang Sheng and others.

The sudden change was somewhat unexpected to Yang Sheng’s people, but fortunately, caution has always been an instinct ingrained in their bones.

Therefore, even though he rushed close to the ancient tree, he did not relax his vigilance.

When the numerous leaves swept in from all directions, Yang Sheng and others reacted immediately.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

They began to swing their weapons violently, easily blocking a large number of leaves.

Then, they noticed that when the leaves attacked the bodies of Zhuri and others, they did not cause any obvious damage, but only hindered the movements of Zhuri and others.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng had a clear estimate of the lethality of these leaves.

The lethal power of these leaves can't even break the defense of Zhuri and others, let alone them.

Thinking of this, Yang Sheng simply stopped defending against these leaves and allowed them to hit his body.

Sure enough, when the leaves hit him and his tribesmen's bodies, they only made a series of "ding-dang-dang" sounds.

After a crisp sound, the leaves couldn't even break through their armor.

During this process, Yang Sheng and others only need to protect their eyes.

After all, they were not sure whether their eyes had the same strong defensive capabilities as their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Sheng and his companions had already arrived near the giant tree, and swung their swords to chop at the trunk.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

The toughness of the tree trunk was somewhat beyond their expectations. After several consecutive chops, only some not-so-big wounds were left on the surface of the bark of the giant tree.

The giant tree seemed to be stimulated by the attacks of Yang Sheng and others.

Suddenly it shook violently, and then Yang Sheng's people felt an earth-shaking movement.

"Boom!"

The ground of the entire hill began to crack, and then black shadows emerged from the soil and rushed towards Yang Sheng and others.

"Whoosh! Snap!"

Without time to think, Yang Sheng, his clansmen and Zhuri quickly jumped to the side to avoid the attack of the black shadow.

When I looked closely, I found that those huge black shadows were actually the roots of the giant trees.

"Everyone, please work harder. This giant tree has run out of tricks."

That’s right. Even the most important roots of trees are pulled out and used as weapons to attack. It is conceivable that this giant tree should have no other tricks.

"Boom boom boom!"

After attacking again for a while, everyone found that the weapons in their hands had limited damage to the giant tree.

So, Yang Sheng once again issued new instructions through the light spot in his mind.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Zhuri and his people immediately ran back and left the battlefield, staying away from the attack range of the giant tree.

Then, Yang Xu found the right opportunity and jumped to the ground beside him!

Then a golden-brown halo lit up behind his head, and he knelt on one knee and slammed the ground with one hand.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the light came on!

Then the ground of the entire hill began to change color at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This is because Yang Xu changed the properties of the ground, making it much more solid.

In this way, the tree roots will have to spend more effort to break through the ground again.

At the same time, the halo behind Yang Hao's head also lit up.

Streams of water emerged from around his body and then merged into the land transformed by Yang Xu.

Suddenly, you can see that the giant tree is shaking even more violently, as if it is in great pain.

In fact, the water source condensed by Yang Hao is extremely corrosive, and is perfect for dealing with tree roots buried deep in the soil.

As for the brother and sister Yang Yao and Yang Qing, they cooperated with each other and attacked the branches of the giant tree in a simple and rough manner.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The cyan and scarlet gold halos light up!

Afterwards, the air around Yang Yao's body heated up rapidly, and even the air began to twist violently under the high temperature.

Then he pushed his hands forward!

"boom!"

Suddenly, fierce pillars of fire emerged and turned into fire snakes that coiled around the giant tree.

Yang Qing on the side waved her arms, creating gusts of wind.

The wind fanned the flames, greatly increasing the power of Yang Yao's flames, which instantly wrapped around the giant tree!

"call!"

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky and the entire giant tree was instantly ignited!

However, with Yang Qing's ability to control the storm, the fire was confined to a specific range and there was no need to worry about it spreading outward and causing a fire.

It has to be said that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and restraining. Although the giant tree is tall and has strong vitality, it is still extremely weak in the face of fire.

At this time, the purple-gold halo behind Yang Sheng's head lit up.

Then I saw flashes of lightning in his eyes!

Then lift your arms slightly and tap your fingers lightly!

"Crack!"

Suddenly, thunder struck out of nowhere!

Fierce bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere and struck the burning body of the giant tree.

Just like that, after it lasted for a full three minutes, Yang Sheng and others seemed to faintly hear an unwilling roar!

Finally, with a multi-pronged approach, the giant tree shattered and turned into ashes all over the sky and disappeared on the spot.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng and others slowly gathered their own strength, and the halos behind their heads slowly disappeared.
