Chapter 890: Picking Lotus and Continuing the Journey

Noticing the movement, Chen Chuan looked outside. After glancing for a while, he suddenly raised his head and immediately saw a huge thing wriggling in the sky above him.

Perhaps because it was too large, or perhaps because of the darkness of the night, he couldn't see clearly what the thing was. He just felt that it seemed to be trying to break in, and the outer shield blocking the thing seemed like a thin film, as if it could break through at any time.

While he was looking at it, the thing stopped for a moment and seemed to turn its "eyes" towards him, and immediately signs of blurring appeared in my body.

Chen Chuan looked at the thing without fear.

It should be the ripening of the lotus seeds that caused these strange phenomena, but the current situation, the noise around is almost like an earthquake, which makes people doubt whether this ritual can withstand the invasion of these things.

Here we can only trust You Zhinan’s arrangement.

However, if Mi Yi really cannot resist and the situation is dangerous, he would rather give up those lotus seeds. After all, saving his life is the most important thing. There may be a chance to get similar things in the future. If he is too greedy, he may lose himself.

He is very clear about the pros and cons here.

Since he couldn't control whether he could block the invasion from outside, he simply ignored it. After retracting his gaze, he walked aside and continued his regular practice every night.

Chao Ming was also very uneasy at first, but when he saw that he was very calm, he also felt relieved. He did not go to sleep, but looked around vigilantly and kept circling around the vibrating stones. If there was anything wrong, he would bark to warn.

Once Chen Chuan started practicing, he quickly immersed himself in it. Anyway, he was practicing the Great Bright Light Style at the moment, which was a secret technique that could help him resist the invasion from the opposite side. If anything unexpected happened, he would be able to react immediately.

This time he took a large amount of nutrients in advance, but in order to ensure his own combat effectiveness, just like before, after consuming some, he went to the side to get some more and then continued.

Time passed by as he kept repeating this, and before he knew it, the annoying noises around him had completely disappeared.

At this moment he felt something in his heart, and when he looked outside, he saw that the sky had turned from black to white, with light pouring down and seeming brighter than usual.

He thought about it, turned around and saw that the strange fragrance emanating from the stone lotus had disappeared at some point. He walked over there, and the serrated leaves there suddenly moved, and the surrounding roots were also twitching, as if trying to crawl out of the soil.

He turned a blind eye to it. Not to mention that the secret ritual was still effective, even if it wasn't, this thing wouldn't make any waves in front of him.

In fact, last night was its only chance to escape. Either it had to use the power of the night to complete its alienation and transformation, or it was simply taken away by something.

Since I can't do that, then all I can do next is wait patiently for him to pick it.

He walked to the lotus pod and looked down, and saw that the seven lotus seeds had all changed from their original grayish white to emerald green.

According to the illustration, this is the sign that the lotus seeds are ripe, and the information given above is still very reliable.

So he reached out and took it, and with just one touch, the entire lotus pod suddenly shattered into powder, and the lotus seeds fell out of it. But once something falls into the soil, it will immediately take root and sprout, and will no longer have much nutritional value.

But before they fell to the ground, they floated up again one by one and slowly rose towards where he was standing.

Chen Chuan reached out, grabbed one of the pills, and put it directly into his mouth.

The moment he chewed it, a refreshing and slightly sweet feeling spread in his mouth, and when he swallowed it, he felt as if he had swallowed a ray of sweet and refreshing air. When this air entered his stomach, it immediately spread throughout his body. After a moment, his eyes became much brighter, and all his senses and even his spirit became sharp and refreshed. He seemed to have a sense of rebirth.

The alienated organization did not respond immediately, but he could clearly feel a warm current lingering there, and some subtle changes must be taking place.

The effect of lotus seeds will gradually come into play in the future. The longer the time, the more you will gain. Generally, it may take several months to a year for three or five lotus seeds to form. His estimate may be longer, and of course the effect will be stronger.

In addition to being taken directly orally, these lotus seeds can also be absorbed together with other alienated tissues and high-energy nutrients that are not generally edible directly. The effect is very significant, so he did not plan to eat them all in one go, but prepared to keep six in his hand as backup.

He took out a container that he had prepared long ago, put the remaining six pills in it, sealed it, patted it with satisfaction, and then carefully put it away in the suitcase.

After dealing with this thing, he returned to the pillar, took out the red stone, felt it in his hand, and felt nothing different from the original one. The weight was also the same, and it seemed that there was no consumption. This was somewhat different from what he had expected.

This further confirmed his previous guess. So he put the thing away, thinking about it, this pivot is undoubtedly very useful, why not take it with him, anyway, it doesn't weigh much, maybe he can use it to set up secret rituals for defense on the way. He has already memorized the placement and distance of the stones, and can restore an identical one when necessary. In fact, if the giant hammer left by You Hufa was not too big, he would have thought of taking it with him. Now he can only leave it there and look at it when he returns.

After packing up everything, he took one last look at the place, greeted Chao Ming, and set off again.

This is not the deepest part of the forest. It is just that he is blocked by monsters and ghosts and cannot go any further. He believes that some things with high nutritional value should still be behind.

After walking in the direction he was heading for a whole morning, the view in front of him suddenly opened up and he actually came to a clear lake.

It can be seen that this is the water source for nearby creatures. Not far away, there are several wolfhound-like creatures with long snouts and sharp teeth and spotted patterns on their bodies. They are tearing the body of a huge creature. Judging from the still warm blood and the relatively intact corpse, they should have just finished hunting not long ago.

He took a look and found that the prey seemed to be a one-horned river buffalo. He immediately became interested. He ignored those creatures and walked straight towards it.

As he approached, these ferocious creatures immediately became stiff, stopped eating, and stared at him blankly.

After Chen Chuan approached, he confirmed his judgment. The horn of this bull was composed of a special alienated tissue, which seemed to be able to be used to prepare some special spirit-enhancing drugs. The medical sponsor company in the illustration book had highlighted this, hoping to exchange and purchase such things from fighters.

In fact, even if it is not used for this purpose, because of the flawless beauty of this unicorn, it is also a collection for many upper-class people to show their status.

Originally, he had no intention of looking for these things, but he did not expect to encounter a gift from nature. He happily went up to pick the unicorn horn and walked away.

While he was doing this, the creatures watched him silently from a distance, waiting for him to leave. After waiting for a long time, they started moving again, returned to their original positions and started eating.

Chen Chuan walked along the lakeshore and could see some fresh bones from time to time. However, they were crawling with strange animals and the bones themselves were being destroyed rapidly. It would not be long before they could be seen completely.

During this process, he was able to collect some things occasionally, which was considered an extra gain, but the most important thing he paid attention to was this lake.

The lake is so calm that any creatures that drink from the water nearby do not drink directly from it. Instead, they dig mud pits nearby and wait for water to seep out before drinking.

So he was sure that there were probably big creatures in the water.

He recalled the records in the atlas, most of them were good things. It seemed that the things existing in the blending lake and sea currents were more popular, and some of them were quite unusual.

And he remembered that the treasure that You Zhinan mentioned should be in a lake, so it was definitely not a coincidence that the other party came in this direction, but was attracted by the stone lotus halfway. However, this lake was quite close to there, and maybe the other party had already explored it.

Regardless of all this, now that he was here, he had to explore the lake.

He placed the suitcase in a clean place and asked Chao Ming to look after it. Because of the presence of his spiritual power, most creatures would stay away from it after noticing it, so there was no need to worry about any problems.

Although it is possible that some violent creatures have no sense of propriety, these creatures often have their own territories. He has already checked and found that they do not exist nearby.

He brought the Snow King Sword this time. The Snow King Sword was not enough to deal with the demons at the moment, but it would be no problem for him to deal with the creatures of the fusion land whose life level was lower than his. It would also make it more convenient for him to harvest some food and alienated tissues.

Then he walked towards the lake step by step. After a while, the water level covered his head and he was completely immersed in it.

Once in the water, there is no moisture inside because of the biological field attached to the surroundings, isolating the water. If you swim underwater, with the existence of this invisible force outside, your speed will be abnormally fast.

At this moment, a light shone in his eyes, and the originally pitch-black bottom of the lake became clearly visible in his eyes. After looking for a few times, his figure disappeared from the original place.
A hole suddenly appeared underwater, and a tearing mark of water was pulled out. Along with the drastic change in water pressure, a low and powerful rumble was heard all around.

This movement seemed to have alarmed something under the water. Under the dark water, densely packed eyes opened, and for a moment, the entire area was flashing with a strange light.
