The stench of corpses from the Wisdom Tree had started to dissipate.
The pile of corpses had turned into a mountain of bones that was about five meters tall and covered an area of 50 to 60 meters.
The entire Gray Giant Tribe was gathered here. However, their flesh and blood had all been corroded, and all that was left of them were scattered skeletons.
In the middle of the mountain of bones, there was a giant tree with a spiral trunk. Its lush green leaves and flourishing branches were exuding a strong vitality.
The image of life and death was a strong impact on one's soul. Perhaps the Wisdom Tree itself was hinting that the rise of an intelligent race would be accompanied by the extinction of countless other races.
With a large amount of flesh and blood, the Wisdom Tree had grown a few times bigger than when he first saw it.
It had originally been eight to nine meters tall with a diameter of less than 40 centimeters, but now it had grown to 20 meters tall and more than a meter thick. Even the color of the patterns on its surface was dazzling and beautiful, exuding a charming color.
Luo Yuan looked at the Wisdom Tree and sighed softly.
The Wisdom Tree was a miracle of nature, the source of intelligence. Even to humans, it was the treasure of their tribe.
With the huge resource collection ability of humans, the Wisdom Tree could continue to evolve in a very short period of time. It could easily evolve to a green level or even higher.
It could greatly evolve the intelligence of humans, which would lead to a technological breakthrough! In terms of value, even the most beautiful words would pale in comparison to the Wisdom Tree.
Unfortunately, they were deep in the mountains, and the Wisdom Tree was huge, so there was no way to take it away. If he left it here, it would not take long for another intelligent race to appear.
He could only recklessly waste the Wisdom Tree.
He pulled out his saber, jumped up the mountain of bones, and walked towards the Wisdom Tree with light footsteps.
The Wisdom Tree did not eat, so it looked peaceful and harmless. It did not respond to his approach at all.
Before long, he was standing in front of the Wisdom Tree's trunk. He took a deep breath and pulled out his Zhanmadao. The light from the blade was like a rainbow piercing through the sun, and it disappeared in a flash. After he swung the blade, he took a few steps and quickly left the place before the roots could riot.
As soon as he stopped, the trunk of the Wisdom Tree collapsed with a loud rumble. A large number of roots began to writhe violently like giant pythons that had been burned by flames.
The White Bone Mountain seemed to be in an uproar. Countless bones were tossed into the air by the thick tree roots. The scene was very noisy.
Luo Yuan watched from afar, watching the last struggle of the Wisdom Tree. He was expressionless, but he could not tell what he was feeling.
The tree roots continued to dance around, but due to the lack of energy from the tree trunk, its movements became weak after a few minutes. Not long after, the entire tree root fell to the ground like a dead snake, no longer having the strength to struggle.
Then, he walked towards the fallen tree trunk.
He saw an incredible scene. In a short period of time, the leaves of the wisdom tree had lost their glossy color and turned yellow. The wisdom fruit between the leaves also began to rapidly shrink.
Luo Yuan was not surprised. Instead, he was delighted. "Just as I expected, the result is the same as the detection technique."
This was a method of self-preservation that only belonged to the Wisdom Tree. Once it suffered an unbearable injury, most of the nutrients would shrink to a certain core on the tree trunk.
After the crisis, with the accumulated nutrients, it would regrow its roots and be revitalized. This was the secret of plants. If it had been someone else, they might have missed it. Unfortunately, it had encountered Luo Yuan.
… …
While there was still some time before the nutrients of the tree shrunk to the core, he took out a clean Wailing Grass and put it in his mouth to chew slowly. The spicy taste exploded in his mouth as the leaves of the grass were ground. Soon, his face stiffened and cold sweat dripped down from his forehead.
Since the last time he tried it, he realized that the effect of training his Will was amazing. On the second day, he could clearly feel that his Will had improved. Moreover, his Will had become more docile during the fight against the pain.
He was surprised to find that even his Sensory Perception had slightly expanded.
The obvious improvement had undoubtedly made Luo Yuan happy.
However, after the previous painful lesson, Luo Yuan did not dare to act rashly anymore. Now, the dosage of the Wailing Grass was greatly reduced. At most, he would chew it slowly like a snack when he had free time.
Of course, the effect of this training was not as good as the first time. However, it was safer and could be done at any time.
Due to the slow absorption, the pain lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually subsided. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and gently exhaled. Then, he sat on the ground and began to slowly recover his energy.
He could barely endure such intense pain without condensing his willpower to resist it. However, it consumed a lot of his energy. After every time, he would feel exhausted, as if he had gone through a high-intensity battle.
After resting for a while, he stood up and looked at the Wisdom Tree. At that moment, most of its leaves had fallen and the trunk had become brittle and dry. Even the trunk had shrunk a few times.
No one would have thought that the tree had fallen less than an hour ago.
Seeing that the tree was still slowly changing, he waited patiently until the lines on the tree had completely squeezed together and merged into one. Then, he walked towards the tree with his knife.
Luo Yuan walked to the cut on the trunk and used his knife to cut off pieces of wood fiber. He was very careful as he did not want to hurt the core of the tree. He was not in a hurry and could wait patiently for the most delicious fruit to appear.
However, although he was careful, his speed was not slow at all.
His knife was almost like a phantom. Pieces of wood quickly fell off from the tree. Each piece was as thin as a cicada's wing and the thickness was almost exactly the same. It was as if they were made from the same mold.
Even a high-class chef from a five-star hotel would be ashamed to see Luo Yuan's knife skills!
Suddenly, Luo Yuan's knife paused and he stopped.
A marble-sized hole appeared on the trunk of the tree. At the same time, a refreshing fragrance gradually spread out from the hole. A hint of joy flashed across his face. He carefully observed the hole for a while, and the speed of his knife began to slow down.
As time passed, the hole became bigger and the fragrance became stronger. Through the hole, there were a few intersecting wooden sieves that looked like blood vessels on the inner wall.
His movements became gentler. After 10 minutes, the inner cavity was completely exposed. There were more than 10 wooden sieves inside and a strange tissue that was tightly connected.
Luo Yuan's expression changed when he took a look.
He could not help but be shocked. This tissue looked very much like a human brain. Not only were the grooves and circuits similar, but the shape was also roughly the same. If it was not for the fact that it was purple and much smaller, Luo Yuan would have thought that it was a human brain.
He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down. Looking at this "brain" that exuded an alluring aura, his eyes flashed. After a long time, he reached out and plucked it off. As soon as it fell off, the tree trembled slightly, and there was no longer any vitality.
The "brain" was the size of an apple. It was soft and had a hint of toughness to it. Its surface seemed to be covered with a layer of skin.
He used his identification technique.
"Wisdom Heart"
