Chapter 621: Confused
A crescent moon rose above the horizon, and Vic, who was sitting by the lake, opened his eyes. It was not that Vic did not want to explore the mirror tree during the half-month wait, but the water in the lake was highly poisonous, and even with his current strength, he could not withstand the toxins in the water.
The lake water will only become non-toxic after a period of time after the giant tree comes out and drops the mysterious fruit. Although Vic doesn't know the principle, he can only wait for that time to come.
As time went by, more and more ferocious beasts began to gather by the lake. This was a grand spectacle that took place on the island's full moon night every month. The mysterious fruit was indeed very attractive to these animals whose only instinct was desire.
Because the mysterious fruit can open their spiritual intelligence, this is a great opportunity, just like humans knowing that there is a kind of fruit that can make them immortal if eaten. It is definitely crazier than these animals.
Although the ferocious beasts had surrounded the lake, none of them dared to get too close to Vic. The area twenty meters around where he was sitting was empty. The powerful aura on Vic's body had not been restrained. The ferocious beasts could all feel it. In their low intelligence, Vic was a two-legged beast that was more ferocious and powerful than them. If they got close to him, they would be in danger of death at any time.
As the moon rose higher in the sky, the crescent moon became rounder and brighter, and the animals by the lake began to growl anxiously. The ferocious beasts that had originally lived in harmony began to friction with each other, squeezing each other for advantageous positions. Many of them had been knocked into the lake, screaming in despair, and in an instant they turned into bones and sank. This was the horror of the lake.
By the time the full moon was at its zenith and its silver light illuminated the entire island, the mysterious giant tree had already completely emerged from the lake. The lush leaves were dripping water, and the mysterious fruits hanging from the branches were glowing slightly, as if they were absorbing the moonlight.
Vic had seen this shocking scene many times and was no longer surprised. He just had to wait patiently for a while and the ripe fruits would fall, and then it would be his time to explore.
Under the shining of the full moon, two fruits that had absorbed enough moonlight became brighter and brighter, and finally became so bright that they broke away from the stems and fell to the ground. The ferocious beasts by the lake went crazy when they saw this scene, and they all rushed into the lake, pushing and shoving each other and fighting.
Unfortunately, their speed was nothing compared to Vic. A bolt of lightning instantly shot under the tree, and before the two fruits fell into the lake, Vic, who had turned into a human form, caught them.
Afterwards, Vic immediately released a strong domineering aura, and all the ferocious beasts were frightened and crawled on the spot, not daring to move. Even with the huge temptation of the mysterious fruit, they did not dare to go beyond the line. It was the absolute suppression when facing natural enemies from their blood, like a fear engraved in their bones.
Ignoring the frightened beasts and sea kings, Vic wandered among the treetops with moon steps, exploring this mysterious giant tree. How should he interpret the secret language of becoming a god in the tree?
But not long after, the giant tree shook as if it had completed its mission and slowly sank into the lake. However, Vic had been exploring for so long but found nothing. He did not see anything unusual about the giant tree, and even using his Observation Haki, the result was the same.
Of course, being able to hide in the poisonous lake and produce such magical fruits is already very unusual, but that is not the answer Vic wants.
As the giant tree gradually disappeared into the lake, Vic felt that the disappeared gravity was also recovering and becoming stronger and stronger. Vic could no longer bear this gravity and continued to fly in the air, so he could only fly back to the shore unwillingly and watch the last branches and leaves of the giant tree sink into the lake.
Although this lake is not big, the gravity above it is no weaker than that on Titan Island. With Vic's current strength, he cannot reach the central area of Titan Island. What's more, there is poisonous lake water below. There is no place to support himself. He cannot stay in the air by stepping on the air. If he falls, he will be dissolved by the lake water.
It’s not that Vic is not strong enough, but since this is the backup plan left by Joyboy, it is not a simple place. It is normal that Vic cannot withstand the gravity and lake water here. The people who arranged this place may also be on guard against the World Government.
"The toxins here should be stronger than the power of Magellan's fruit, and the gravity should also be stronger than the power of Yixiao's fruit. And they lose their effects after the giant tree comes out. How did Joyboy do it?
Even if the user of the fruit ability can change the environment after awakening, the environment should remain unchanged. Such large repeated changes seem more like they were set artificially. This is not something that an awakened person can do. This kind of magical method is simply incomprehensible!
Is there really such a realm as God, something that only God can do? What does it mean to become a god in a tree? "
Vic stood by the lake, looking at the calm lake surface and thought to himself that the ferocious beasts surrounding the lake also fled after Vic stopped releasing the Dominant Haki. Now there were only a few scattered beasts left on the edge, as if they were unwilling to leave with the intention of picking up something leftover. However, Vic ignored those beasts, as they were already scared by him. Even if he lay there, no one dared to attack him. Vic still had this confidence.
When Vic saw the layout here, he became more and more certain that it was at the level of "God". When he first came here and saw these magical scenes, he thought it was a plan set up by Im or some mysterious powerful man. However, because Im had never taken any action, some magical means made sense.
But now he found out that it was actually Joey Boy who planned it, and he used some incomprehensible methods. He couldn't help but think of the saying of becoming a god in a tree. However, Vic didn't find any clues just now.
So Vic decided to wait here for another month. If he still couldn't find any clues on the next full moon night, he would continue looking for historical texts. Perhaps the secret of becoming a god in a tree was recorded in other historical texts. This was a possibility he had thought of during his previous analysis.
There was food and drink available on the island, so a month was nothing. During Vic's practice, the next full moon night soon arrived. However, the sky was not kind this time. It was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain heavily!
But Vic didn't plan to wait another month. He simply raised his hand and a bolt of lightning rushed into the clouds. Then, with a slash with the artistic conception of wind, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, revealing the hidden crescent moon.
Everything was back on track. Vic had encountered this kind of weather several times before, and he had always used this method to solve it. He didn't want to make a wasted trip and waste a month's time.
