As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain will lead to death." Although this shocking tree was not a mountain peak, it was far taller than most mountains. In terms of vertical distance, there were only a handful of trees in China that were taller than it.
Under such a terrifying vertical height, the tree seemed to be not far away, but in fact, it was still hundreds of kilometers away.
Even with the speed of Luo Yuan's space-time bubble, it took him more than a minute to enter the shade of the tree. He was very close to the surface of the sea and he could smell the salty smell of the sea. Perhaps he would be able to see the ocean in another 200 to 300 kilometers.
He used his Will to calm down the fluctuation in the air and slowed down. He tied the plasma bandage to his forehead and landed on the ground!
On the ground, there were unimaginably huge dark black tree roots that seemed to have a boundless power deeply embedded into the ground. From afar, they looked like furious dragons that were entangled with each other.
He was high up in the sky and looked hundreds of kilometers away. That was the end of the tree roots.
These intertwined tree roots formed a huge hill that covered an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. It was 400 to 500 meters tall and was completely made up of tree roots.
It was a miracle of life. Luo Yuan could vaguely feel a vast force rising from the ground and permeating the space within a radius of a few hundred kilometers.
The black tree roots were emitting a high temperature and there was green smoke lingering on them. It looked like a fire had just broken out. The hot air distorted and blurred his vision. It was extremely pungent.
Other than the bare tree roots, there were no other plants in the entire 10,000 square kilometers. It was difficult to even see mutated beasts. However, those that could survive there were creatures that could withstand high temperatures.
When he was close to the ground, the temperature was close to 100 degrees Celsius. When he landed, the temperature had quickly exceeded 200 degrees Celsius.
This kind of temperature was equally fatal to him. No matter how powerful he was, he was still made of flesh and blood, and was also made up of protein. He was not some kind of energy creature. Although he was more resistant to heat than ordinary creatures, this was only in name, and there was no qualitative difference.
Once the temperature exceeded 100 degrees Celsius, he would not be able to survive for a long time.
Under the stimulation of the high temperature, the pores of his well-trained body immediately contracted to prevent the heat from invading his body. However, it was obviously not effective in preventing the heat from invading his body. Less than 10 seconds after he landed, his skin began to burn slightly.
In the next moment, a faint layer of dim light emerged from his skin, and the original scorching heat instantly disappeared.
Luo Yuan took a look and was surprised. It was not his intention at all. He had wanted to use his Will, but his body had reacted instinctively.
Luo Yuan took a closer look. This layer of brilliance was undoubtedly Will, but it was 10 times dimmer than the one he had condensed. It was very weak and dull. It looked like it would be extinguished by a gentle breeze. However, such a weak layer of brilliance had completely blocked the high temperature nearby.
His mind was sharp and he understood that this was most likely the instinctive reaction of the Will cells when they were stimulated.
He often used his Will to infiltrate his body and the chaotic consciousness of his cells had been unified by his Will. At the same time, the original strength of his Will had been greatly strengthened.
The magical thing about these cells was that they were not only the extension of his Will but also the strong spirituality of a single-celled life. They had a certain degree of autonomy.
When faced with a harsh environment, these cells would automatically defend themselves.
At the same time, because the Will imprint left in the cells was condensed, it did not need to condense like the main Will. When faced with danger, it would naturally carry out the Will defense instinctively.
The Will film produced by one cell might be weak and not worth mentioning, but when countless cells united, it was enough to defend against most of the dangers.
Luo Yuan looked at the layer of light on his body and could not help but daydream. Perhaps one day in the future, even if he stood still and did not put up any defense, he would still be impervious to fire and water, knives and spears. Nothing would be able to hurt his body.
And this time should not be too far away.
His Will could now penetrate into the level of cells. Every time he looked inside, the cells absorbed more Will and at the same time, he had a deeper control over his body. Perhaps when all the cells in his body were tempered by his Will, there would be a drastic change in his ability.
…
Luo Yuan did not know when, but there was already a dark cloud in the sky. In the blink of an eye, the sun was completely blocked. Luo Yuan felt that the surroundings seemed to have darkened. He looked up and saw that the branches above his head had disappeared, leaving only a black rolling cloud. Occasionally, a few hanging branches extended through the thick dark cloud, and he could feel that the huge canopy was still there.
The tree was too tall, and the entire canopy was covered by the dark cloud.
"It's going to rain soon!" Luo Yuan was shocked.
Not long ago, there were only a few white clouds in the sky. He did not expect the sky to change so suddenly in less than 10 minutes. It was not normal.
Luo Yuan frowned, but he was not too worried. Although it was a forest, the tree was too big. Standing there was no difference from standing on an empty ground. Trees were not perfect conductors, and their electrical resistance was quite high. Even if lightning struck the tree, it would be exhausted by the tree's electrical resistance.
He did not care about the dark cloud above his head and looked at the root under his feet.
This root was about three meters in diameter. This kind of thickness was inconspicuous among the nearby roots. In comparison, it could only be called a root hair. Not far away from him, there was a root that was more than ten meters thick. As for the main roots near the distant trunk, they were unbelievably huge, with a diameter of thirty to forty meters everywhere.
The root looked bumpy, and it looked unusually old. Its surface was full of irregular cracks. Through these cracks, he could vaguely see the red core of the tree.
A group of dark blue ant-like mutated creatures were bustling about in the crevice. This was one of the rare mutated creatures he could see here. The high temperature here seemed to have no effect on these creatures at all.
Perhaps it was because of the unique high temperature that they did not have many natural enemies. Not only were the ants fat and had a large tail, but they also moved very slowly.
The crack of the root was about 10 centimeters wide. Luo Yuan put his hand into the crack, ready to catch an ant to see what was so special about it that it could live in such a high temperature.
Then, there was a soft sound of "Crack, crack, crack".
He quickly retracted his hand. Fortunately, his skin was covered with a layer of Will, so he was not hurt at all. He looked at the little thing in surprise. At that moment, the blue ant was still releasing lightning.
It seemed to be angered, and its body was emitting a faint light. At the same time, electric arcs the size of a thumb were emitted from its body. From time to time, there was a crackling sound in the air, making it look like it was not to be trifled with.
At that moment, Luo Yuan suddenly thought of something, and his face changed.
He quickly used the detection technique on the root.
"Genus: Woody Plant"
"Name: Lightning Tree"
"Evaluation: This is an uncommon type of giant half-energy tree. Its level is roughly above light purple, and it has a certain level of intelligence. The tree is tall, usually reaching thousands of meters in height. Its leaves have the ability to condense air into clouds and absorb lightning."
Luo Yuan was shocked, and his body quickly floated up.
At that moment, the sky suddenly lit up, and a bolt of lightning cut through the dark clouds. Then, there was a loud bang.
Luo Yuan looked serious. Along with the sound of the thunder, the air was suddenly filled with static electricity, and even his hair was involuntarily floating. The next moment, he quickly looked at the trunk as if he had sensed something.
His expression changed greatly. Traces of blue light followed the gaps in the tree and quickly spread downwards. Looking from afar, the entire giant tree seemed to be lit up bit by bit, releasing traces of light!
As if it was some kind of signal, as the bolt of lightning cut through the sky, lightning flashed above his head like a snake in the dark clouds.
The sky suddenly looked like a thunderstorm.
