From seeing it

"ah--"

Xiao Ling suddenly exclaimed. He was shocked to find that the moment his hands touched the black ball, his ten fingers suddenly turned into plants, and the surface turned into the appearance of blue-black bark.

After he turned over and landed on the other side of the black ball, after being terrified, he hurriedly let go, and the change slowed down, but the vegetalization had already extended to his hands.

His hands completely turned into the appearance of plants.

Shocked, Xiao Ling kept backing away from the black ball, but the black substance's tentacles hit the black ball and immediately spread along the black ball, as if trying to swallow the black ball.

At the same moment, a large amount of bark color appeared on the surface of the black substance, and the black substance began to transform into plants.

Xiao Ling's heart shook slightly, and he knew in his heart that there was a fight between the black substance and the black ball.

Both sides have incredible power, the black matter wants to devour everything, including the black ball, but the black ball has the energy to turn all matter into plants, including the black matter that touches it.

The black ball transformed the black matter it touched into plants, and more and more black matter swept in, and the ground of the plants below was being swallowed by the black matter, and countless bubbles burst out, spewing out more and more black water.

Black water flooded below, and the water level was slowly rising.

The black matter below continued to expand, completely rising up, filling the entire bottom of the abyss.

Xiao Ling saw that the black ball was gradually sinking into the black matter, he didn't dare to stop, and went up at full speed.

Fortunately, although his hands have turned into plants, and the surface skin has turned into bark, he can still grab the vines and climb up along the large number of plants hanging from above.

He felt the vegetativeness of his hands slowly fading.

I don't know if it's the mysterious energy in the body that played a role, or the reason why the black ball is being swallowed by black matter, causing the power to decay, or both.

When Xiao Ling climbed up 100 meters, he lowered his head and saw that the plant ground below was completely swallowed by the black matter. The black ball was completely swallowed by the black matter, but a large amount of tree bark also appeared on the surface of the black matter. , and more cyan plants grow out of it.

Xiao Ling noticed that the black matter stopped expanding, and seemed to be blocked by the black ball below.

However, more and more black water was ejected from the bursting of the bubbles on the surface of the black substance, submerging the abyss below, and the water level was rising, but perhaps due to the influence of the power of the black ball, the rising speed was not fast.

"It seems that the two sides are fighting evenly, but the water level below is slowly rising. I don't know if it will completely submerge the abyss..."

Xiao Ling thought about it silently, and found that the vegetative state of his hands was gradually fading. When he climbed up to three or four hundred meters, his hands returned to normal.

This may represent the complete disappearance of the black ball's ability to affect him.

When he climbed up to the giant net of plants above, he found that the lower bodies of the bound giants on the four walls were collapsing.

They are rapidly aging and dying.

The old giant stretched out his hands towards him, and tears flowed from his giant eyes.

He made a sound. Although Xiao Ling couldn't understand what he was saying, he could feel the old giant's heart, and he was thanking himself.

Xiao Ling stepped into the giant's palm, and the old giant supported Xiao Ling with its giant palm and lifted him above the abyss.

"Xiao Ling—"

"Xiao Ling is back—"

At the exit of the abyss, Zhou Kesheng, Li Zhibao, Yu Tingting, Wang Lei, Sun Tao and others gathered there, and everyone called his name excitedly and anxiously.

Xiao Ling smiled at them.

The old giant was collapsing, he raised his giant face, suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, with tears running down his face, he sent Xiao Ling to the exit of the abyss.

Xiao Ling jumped up and landed in front of everyone. Turning around, he saw the elderly giant. Although his face was full of tears, he showed a satisfied and relieved smile. His huge body was rumbling like a golden mountain and a jade pillar. Falling down, the body torn apart, falling into the abyss below.

All the giants are collapsing, shouting wildly, bursting into tears, and everyone greets the coming of death with a smile on their faces.

This scene is so shocking, but also so soul-stirring.

These giants, who have lived for thousands of years, welcomed their final destination with excitement and gratitude, and were liberated.

Everyone didn't stay any longer, turned around and ran away, leaving the abyss.

When everyone climbed out of the cave at the exit of Guixu, they found that the trees all over the mountains were collapsing.

The dwarf trees had already turned into dust and piled up all over the ground. What they saw when they came out were the thousands of towering trees that were being destroyed.

Xiao Ling squinted his eyes, he saw more than everyone else, he saw countless little white figures escape from the thousands of collapsed trees, this time he didn't see the big pale hands appearing, nor did he see It is harvesting these little white people, but these little white people shattered and collapsed automatically, turning into a rain of light and rising upwards.

This is like an unprecedented gorgeous fireworks event, with endless white light spots shining brightly, covering the entire dark night sky.

Xiao Ling was deeply shocked, and stood in a daze, motionless, looking up at all this.

Other people surrounded him, they couldn't see this beautiful scene, but everyone seemed to realize something in their hearts, they didn't speak, they just stood there quietly with Xiao Ling, looking up at the sky silently.

It was like being in a sea that would never have daylight. At this moment, the sky seemed to be flooded with white light spots, and a rare white sky appeared.

Xiao Ling felt that there was consciousness in these countless light spots, and there was endless gratitude in the consciousness.

This is Xu Fu and those thousands of people from the pre-Qin period, they are thanking themselves.

After living in pain for more than two thousand years, they were finally relieved. Their gratitude to Xiao Ling cannot be expressed in words.

"If there is reincarnation, I hope you can all be reincarnated into a good family..." Xiao Ling murmured softly.

For these people's pain, he empathizes with him and sympathizes with him.

When the endless spots of light finally completely disappeared, Xiao Ling lowered his head and let out a long breath. He suddenly felt his cheeks cool, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it, and unexpectedly, tears fell at some point.

"Xiao Ling, why are you crying?" Pang Yan was curious.

Xiao Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe it infected their emotions, so I'm happy for them."

After speaking, he stretched out his finger to the sky, and everyone thoughtfully understood who he was referring to.

"Speaking of which, the harvest from this trip to the ruins is not small. At least it helped many people get relief from pain. Xiao Ling, you really have immeasurable merit." Li Zhibao smiled slightly.

Xiao Ling said: "This is all due to everyone. If there is any merit, it belongs to everyone."

Wang Lei laughed and said, "Xiao Ling, you are really good. You have meritorious service but don't pretend to be self-confident. Your ideological consciousness is really high."

Xiao Ling smiled slightly. For him, getting the inheritance from the cauldron and the way of himself this time is more important than anything else.

"Mr. Zhou, where are we going next? We even went down to Guixu. Unfortunately, we didn't gain much. How should we make this trip?" Hu Shengzhe looked at Zhou Kesheng.

Their scientific expedition team went deep into the ruins this time, with an important mission, and wanted to find some kind of truth.

Zhou Kesheng looked very strange on his face. He shook his head and said, "No, we have gained a lot from this trip. It can be said to be a breakthrough. Many doubts that could not be resolved before will now be confirmed."

Hu Shengzhe, Wang Lei and the others were slightly taken aback when they heard this.

Wang Lei said: "Old Zhou, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Kesheng said slowly: "Some things are still confidential. In short, the mission of this trip has been successfully completed, and we can report to the higher authorities. However, this result is not what I hoped for."

Having said that, he heaved a long sigh, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Xiao Ling looked at Zhou Kesheng and said, "That guy said that we will know the truth when we arrive at Guixu. What exactly is the truth he said?"

Zhou Kesheng showed a wry smile, and said, "Some things are hard to say now, let's talk about them when we get back."

After hearing this, Xiao Ling understood that Zhou Kesheng knew something, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of other people. He planned to tell him privately after returning.

Seeing what Zhou Kesheng said, Xiao Ling didn't ask any more questions.

"Look, these trees have all collapsed, and there is actually one tree left." Pang Yan was taking pictures of the surroundings with the camera, and suddenly made a discovery, and walked up while talking.

The trees in this area were all broken into sawdust and piled up all over the ground. Xiao Ling saw Pang Yan walk aside, only to find a small sapling exposed among the pile of sawdust.

It was this sapling that Pang Yan was talking about.

Xiao Ling's heart moved slightly, and he also walked up.

Pang Yan pushed away the sawdust piled up all around, and the sapling was fully exposed, and Xiao Ling realized that the sapling was a little weird.

The tree is not tall, only more than one foot. It is more like a bonsai than a sapling. It looks a little weird. Although it is very short, its stem is very thick, about the thickness of a human arm. There are only two branches, and the stem is forked below. , like a humanoid with arms and legs.

When Xiao Ling saw it, his heart shook slightly. It was not so much a weird little tree as it looked like a villain with the appearance of a tree.

Pang Yan picked up the camera and took two pictures.

Yu Tingting and others also came up.

"This tree... eh?" Wang Lei glanced at it, and suddenly let out a startled groan, squatted down, stared at the tree, and then looked up at Xiao Ling with a strange expression on his face.

Xiao Ling also squatted down beside him, staring at this weird humanoid tree.

The top of this small tree is only one foot high. On the tree trunk, there are sharp edges and corners, resembling the facial features of human beings, with eyes, nose, mouth and ears, lifelike.

And the most weird thing is that the eyes, nose, mouth and ears are combined together, and the appearance is exactly like Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling looked at the humanoid facial features protruding from the tree's surface, which were almost exactly the same as his own. This was not artificially carved with a knife, but a natural growth.

Everyone else noticed it too, looking at the humanoid facial features emerging from this small tree, and then looking at Xiao Ling, they felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

For some reason, Xiao Ling felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
