The two men left the church and walked towards an abandoned building not far away.
When Li Jian regained some self-awareness, his eyes were already full of blood.
He stood inside the building, which looked more like a deep valley than a building.
An extremely huge plant stood in front of him, about five or six meters thick. It was covered with black bark, but the cracks in it revealed a color redder than blood.
The trunk of the tree expands and contracts gently from time to time, just like a person breathing.
The entire building was covered with its branches, and the leaves were curled up in a strange way, like a butterfly cocoon, as if there was something wrapped inside.
Li Jian was stunned. He had never seen such a strange and huge plant!
Yuan Kongye stood in front of the plant and said to him, "This is the sacred tree of my Baixue Cult! It can take root hundreds of meters underground to absorb nutrients and then bear fruit."
“Its fruit is our most important food.”
Yuan Kongye said this and slowly raised his hand.
There was a vine hanging down from the trunk, and a red fruit fell off and landed in her palm.
This plant seems to have intelligence!
Only then did Li Jian understand where the red fruit he had seen before came from.
Yuan Kongye walked up to him and handed him the fruit.
She smiled faintly: "This is our hope of survival. Do you want to try it?"
Li Jian nodded and took the fruit.
Immediately, he smelled a magical fragrance, a fragrance he had never smelled in his life, which made him unable to control his body.
Li Jian grabbed the fruit and swallowed it in big gulps. A sticky liquid similar to blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
But after eating this fruit, he actually felt that his body was full of strength, and the feelings of hunger and cold disappeared!
Yuan Kongye said to Li Jian, "Father Li, your mission is to use your abilities to cultivate this sacred tree. Let it grow stronger and stronger. Only in this way can we support more believers."
Li Jian nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will follow your instructions, Your Excellency!"
He walked to the tree, took out a dagger for self-defense, and cut his fingers.
It was just a shallow wound, but his blood flowed like water.
The holy tree greedily absorbed every drop of his blood, and the strange red light on the tree became even brighter.
Yuan Kongye did not let him continue bleeding, but walked over and used his gifted power to help him stop the bleeding.
"From now on, you must feed the sacred tree with your blood every day. This is your glorious mission!"
Li Jian nodded, and a noble look appeared in his eyes, as if this matter had really become the meaning of his life.
……
Half a month passed in a flash.
Zhang Yi's shelter rebuilt the ice and snow defense line. As the days passed, no new enemies appeared and everyone began to enjoy life.
There was plenty of food, the temperature was pleasant, and there was no shortage of leisure and entertainment, which made everyone very happy.
However, Zhang Yi always thinks of danger in times of peace and never forgets the environment he is in.
Every day he would spend several hours learning kung fu with Liang Yue.
Liang Yue has become much more mature and less talkative than before, and he would also teach Zhang Yi a lesson with a stern face during training.
It's just that the two of them would occasionally have some physical contact, and her face would still turn red unconsciously.
As for the outside world, it is much more exciting than here in the shelter.
The power of the two major bases, Chaoyu and Yangsheng, has been greatly reduced.
Not only was it impossible to stop the missionary activities of the Baixue Sect, even some small armed forces within their territory began to emerge.
On the surface, Tianhai City is controlled by five major forces, but no one can completely control everyone within their sphere of influence.
There are still many small underground armed groups.
As long as the forces above show signs of fatigue, they will inevitably try to take a bite.
After all, the best resource points in each region are all in the hands of major forces.
As a last resort, Yangsheng Base and Chaoyu Base had to resolve the unrest in their own territories first.
The five major forces also reached a tacit understanding and recognized each other's jurisdiction over the territory.
No one wants to have a major conflict unless it is necessary.
