How could this be? It was as if an abandoned silver mine had a life of its own. It was inexplicable!
The trees nearby were sparse, because all the trees had been cut down during the mining. There were many reddish-brown rocks piled up into a small hill.
"Miping Silver Mine."
Chu Feng had seen the engravings near the silver mine and knew its name. It seemed that this mine had been abandoned a few years ago.
He circled around the silver mine from afar, observing from all directions. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the tree.
The entire tree was extraordinary. It was three meters tall and was surrounded by a misty fiery glow. Its lavender leaves shone brilliantly as if they were on fire. The tree exuded an astonishing vitality.
Unfortunately, he could not tell what kind of plant it had mutated from.
It was rooted right beside the silver mine. The diameter of the trunk was one foot. Compared to the mutated pine tree in Taihang Mountains, it was many times more magnificent.
It was worth noting that the sapling that the four mutants discovered was no more than three feet tall. Even a tree of that size was more than enough for them to look down on their peers.
One could imagine how extraordinary this tree was!
Compared to the towering trees, it was not very thick, but it had a sense of vigor. The trunk was full of palm-sized cracks that spread out like the scales of a dragon.
"Amazing tree!"
Chu Feng exclaimed. However, he did not approach it. Even though the tree was very attractive, he did not take any action because this place was too strange.
"I can smell the fragrance even from so far away. It must have borne fruits."
He chose a vantage point and finally saw the two fruits in the depths of the tree through the dense foliage. They were as big as bowls and were entirely silvery white. They were overflowing with light.
The two fruits were shaped like plums. The fragrance was very tempting.
"If I eat this, will I be able to fight against the beast king?" Chu Feng guessed. It should be enough!
But he did not know why he felt uneasy. His heart even palpitated. This place made him feel very uncomfortable.
"It's too quiet. No ferocious birds or beasts are approaching. It's very strange."
There was not even an ant or a bug nearby. There was only vegetation.
Occasionally, the silver mine would let out a "breathing" sound.
Indeed, it was like breathing. When the mine was spitting out white light, it was like breathing. When it was dim, it was like breathing in.
"Eh, there's another flower bud?"
Chu Feng was shocked. After changing his position again, he saw a flower bud that was about to bloom amidst the dense foliage. It was huge and translucent.
This made him have an urge to run over.
But in the end, Chu Feng retreated silently. He ran for a long distance before he caught a mountain rat about a foot long. He grabbed its tail and threw it towards the silver mine.
After the mountain rat landed, it was still dozens of meters away from the mine. Its eyes rolled around as it stared at the wondrous tree with a greedy look.
In that instant, it suddenly cried out miserably, and then it disappeared from its original location. It was guided by a wave of silver light into the ore, and soon after, it became completely silent.
Chu Feng was shocked. This place was indeed strange.
Just like that, he walked far away and caught a few exotic beasts to experiment. In the end, they were all swallowed by the silver mine!
Chu Feng discovered that the area within a hundred meters of the silver mine was absolutely dangerous. It was as if there was an invisible domain that would pull all living things into the mine.
However, it was very safe within a hundred meters.
From the small mountain rat to the big mutated dog, they were all the same. As long as they stepped within a hundred meters, they would immediately be swallowed by the silver mine.
In the end, Chu Feng caught a colorful venomous python. It was about seven or eight meters long and placed its head within a hundred meters of the mine.
He pulled on the snake's tail with all his might, wanting to test how strong the power within the silver mine was.
The venomous python hissed and flicked out its tongue. But before it could struggle, the silver mine lit up and was about to swallow it up.
Chu Feng was shaken. He pulled on the snake's tail and felt a powerful force trying to pull him along.
He pulled back with all his might. In the end, the seven or eight meter venomous python's body tensed up and was almost torn apart. Traces of blood seeped out of its body.
He hurriedly let go, because that pulling force was too terrifying. The silver light was extending, all of it rushing towards him.
Swoosh!
The venomous python fell into the silver mine and immediately became silent.
Chu Feng frowned and felt a chill run down his back. Fortunately, he was cautious enough. Otherwise, he would most likely have died here.
The area within a hundred meters of the silver mine was a dangerous place where all living things would die without a doubt.
At the very least, he couldn't approach it with his current strength.
"That flower is about to bloom. I'll wait here and use some methods to stir up a gale. I don't believe I can't get some pollen."
Chu Feng was quite cautious and didn't want to rush over. He wanted to wait outside.
The sky darkened. He ate some food, drank some water, and sat not far away, quietly watching over her.
The flower bud had opened up a bit and was about to bloom at any moment. At the latest, it would be about two days. Chu Feng could afford to wait.
In truth, the flower had bloomed earlier than he had expected. When the silver moon hung high in the sky, the flower bud on the wondrous tree emitted a soft popping sound.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Feng's hair stood on end. He fled at top speed without thinking.
This was an instinctive intuition that made him feel great danger. It was a threat to his life, so he fled at subsonic speed.
Chu Feng brought along a gale and the air was exploding. He was too fast. Before long, he stood on a mountain peak ten li away from the silver mine.
The area around the silver mine was no longer peaceful. There was a disturbance in the mountains.
Originally, there were no living things in the surroundings, but after the petals bloomed, the fragrance of the flowers spread for several li and attracted the creatures of the outside world.
Not long after, many vicious birds and fierce beasts appeared and rushed towards the silver mine.
Even the creatures in the desolate mountains were restless and roaring. Unfortunately, they couldn't come out as if there was a restriction preventing them from doing so.
Chu Feng felt a hundred claws scratching his heart. It was such a pity that he could only watch helplessly. Was he going to miss such a great opportunity?
Suddenly, his eyes widened in incomparable shock. The wild boars, hunting dogs, badgers, green wolves, and leopards in that area had all mysteriously collapsed.
Chu Feng's vision was extremely sharp and could compete with the clairvoyant Du Huaijin. He saw everything clearly. After the flower buds on the strange tree bloomed, they emitted a resplendent radiance and suffused the air with pollen.
Those creatures seemed to have died immediately after smelling the fragrance!
"What's going on?!" Chu Feng was shocked and puzzled.
Soon after, he saw an even more astonishing scene. A white light appeared in the silver mine. That was the gathering of metallic silver into a creature that was constantly smelling the flower fragrance.
"The metal has life?!" Chu Feng was horrified.
In the night sky, there was an eight meter long bat emitting terrifying fluctuations. It swooped down with extreme speed. This was definitely a powerful mutant beast.
Even if Chu Feng wanted to deal with it, he would have to spend quite a bit of effort.
That was because when this bat flew, its mouth emitted black ripples. The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The rocks around the silver mine were all destroyed as it rushed towards the strange tree.
Unfortunately, it directly fell down after smelling the pollen and died on the spot.
All the creatures that rushed over died in the strong fragrance of the pollen.
Chu Feng's hair stood on end. He finally knew why he had been alarmed earlier and wanted to escape involuntarily. The pollen was fatal and not an opportunity at all.
All the creatures near the silver mine were dead.
However, the silver mine was glowing with white light and the metallic liquid condensed. The silver mine actually had life!
In addition, on the ground nearby, masses of silver-white metal appeared one after another. They should all be silver. After coming into contact with the pollen, they were actually transforming and becoming living beings.
Finally, some silver dogs and silver leopards appeared and imitated the dead creatures on the ground to transform. Moreover, they moved quickly and dragged the corpses into the ancient mine or buried them around the strange tree.
"As fertilizer!" Chu Feng understood.
The flowers bloomed for a long time. In the end, the fragrance faded.
The silver mine gushed with white light. All the creatures, including silver leopards, silver pigs, silver bats, and so on, flew over and turned into metallic liquid. Then, they sank into the ancient mine and merged into a living being.
In the mine, the metal was constantly transforming and had no fixed form!
Finally, the surroundings of the ancient mine returned to peace and tranquility. The living being of the silver mine sank into the mine.
"This is too terrifying. Is this a plant that was born specifically for metal? It can even promote the evolution of metal! "Chu Feng murmured to himself. He felt that the situation was extremely serious.
Sure enough, this world was still changing, and more fog was appearing!
After a long time, he once again approached the silver mine and stood a hundred meters away.
"What?!"
He found a mass of silver light on the ground. There was a shiny piece of metal there. It had not mutated into a living being, but it should have come into contact with some pollen.
Chu Feng carefully wrapped it in the animal skin, and then turned around and left with it.
He did not waste any time and rushed through the night towards Shuntian. He felt that it was necessary to hire a specialist to identify this piece of metal.
When Chu Feng returned after running for eight hundred miles in the night, it was already late at night. However, Shuntian was still bustling with people passing by from time to time.
Chu Feng rushed past like a gust of wind. Even so, he still heard the words Angel Ox, Chu Feng, White Snake, etc. Apparently, he had just come out from a movie theater.
He had no time to pay attention to it now. He went straight to the Hollow Jade Temple and sent someone to find the old man, Lu Tong, and wake him up.
"Brat, are you too excited? I know you are Angel Ox and you are famous all over the country. But you don't have to celebrate in the middle of the night! "
Lu Tong complained in a drowsy voice.
"Old man, something big has happened! I saw a silver mine come to life … "Chu Feng quickly narrated and took out the snow-white piece of metal.
Lu Tong was so shocked that he was no longer sleepy. "What? Even the ore has begun to mutate and evolve? Moreover, that strange tree can only promote the evolution of metal?! "
He knew that this was a serious matter. He took the piece of metal and immediately contacted the person in charge of a certain laboratory. He then sent someone to deliver it overnight.
Chu Feng did not wait in the Hollow Jade Temple. He decided to come back tomorrow to see the results.
It was already so late. When he returned home, he found that his parents were still awake in the living room. Wang Jing was especially excited. She shouted as soon as she saw him, "Son, you did a great job this time!"
Chu Feng felt a headache coming on. He did not know what was going on. He had already turned off his communicator.
"'Demon Ox the Great Sage' has received a lot of good reviews. Many people are looking for you. They even contacted me and your dad." Wang Jing was very happy.
"Who?" Chu Feng asked with a guilty conscience.
"A lot of people, for example, the girl who went on a blind date with you. She contacted you several times in one night, asking if you have returned. She's so proactive. I think there's a chance! "Wang Jing said.
Chu Feng knew that it was not a chance, but rather, she was angry. He guessed that Xia Qianyu was looking for him on behalf of Jiang Luoshen. She wanted to lure him out so that she could fight him.
Sure enough, Wang Jing told him again, "There's another lady, she said her surname is Jiang. She was very excited, her voice trembling when she spoke, as if her teeth were chattering. She told me to tell you to tell her that you know who she is when you return."
Chu Feng did not need to think to know that she was Jiang Luoshen!
How could she be excited? She must be impulsive. She wanted to fight him to the death! She must have dominated the hot search list after 'Demon Ox the Great Sage' was released.
It must have something to do with him!
As for Jiang Luoshen's teeth chattering? How could that be possible? Chu Feng guessed that she was grinding her teeth. She was extremely angry!
"What's going on? Is there another explosive news report?" Chu Feng was suspicious.
"Watch the news yourself tomorrow morning," Chu Zhiyuan said, telling him to rest early.
Wang Jing told Chu Feng, "A lot of people are looking for you. They are all very excited. But I still feel that something is not right."
Chu Feng got up and murmured, "The world is so beautiful, but they are so irritable."
He did not want to be on the receiving end of their attacks. He ran to take a shower and went straight to bed.
He had rushed back to Shuntian for eight hundred miles. He was already tired, so he quickly fell asleep.
That night, Chu Feng slept very soundly. However, many people were worried and couldn't sleep.
These people included Jiang Luoshen, Xia Qianyu, Vajra, Silver Wing, Xu Wanyi, the Mu family, and even Linnoy. None of them wanted to sleep.
Some of them even wanted to kill their way to Chu Feng's house.
So much so that there were some among the beast race who couldn't sleep. For instance, the black yak was fuming in Mount Kunlun. He wanted to contact Chu Feng to help him capture someone, but in the end, that brat had lost contact and didn't even pay attention to him.
