Standing in the ancient tree hole that had changed drastically, Lu Chen felt a chill in his heart as he recalled the strange scene that he had experienced before, even though he had always been calm and collected.
At the same time, he was also on guard. Ever since the Battle of the Barren Valley, the seed of the Tree of God had fused with him. They had been together for more than ten years, and he had almost completely regarded it as a part of his body.
He went in and out of the tree hole as if he was going in and out of his own home. Everything seemed so natural. Other than keeping this secret from outsiders, Lu Chen was no longer wary of this seed.
Come to think of it, it was the divine water in this tree hole that had saved him from the desperate situation of being burned by the Black Fire. Without this place, he would not have lived until now. All these years, this tree hole had always quietly but firmly acted as a solid shield for him, and had even saved his life several times.
Lu Chen had always regarded this place as his last safe place. Before today, it could be said that he had no doubts about it.
However, the door that suddenly appeared and opened in front of him today clearly told him that this mysterious place, this seed of strange origin, still had many secrets that he did not know.
In that case, this place was a secret that only he knew of. Was it an absolutely safe place?
Lu Chen looked a little gloomy. He glanced at the door that had been tightly shut, but he did not speak for a long time.
It was very quiet in the tree hole. After a while, Atsu seemed to have returned to normal, and it got up from the ground. It was unknown if this black dog had experienced a nightmare just now, but it seemed to have a strong resistance to that kind of dream. Other than the slight discomfort that it showed at the beginning, it quickly shook its body and wagged its tail, and seemed to be fine.
Lu Chen glanced at Atsu, and his heart calmed down. After hesitating for a while, he walked away from the mysterious door, walked to the center of the tree hole, and sat down.
The area here was twice as large as before, but the puddle of water in the center of the tree hole didn't change much. It seemed smaller than before. However, at this moment, the clear and colorless water in the pool had completely changed. It had once again become the immortal water that Lu Chen had seen when he first entered this place, which was filled with abundant vitality.
It was a strange yet somewhat familiar feeling.
Lu Chen sat at the edge of the pool and saw his reflection reflected in the green water. He couldn't help but smile. Memories of the past surged in his mind. He remembered many times when he was burned by the black fire and fell into the water here. For a moment, he even had the urge to jump into the pool.
However, just at this moment, when the corner of his eyes swept over a certain corner of the pool, he was suddenly startled and his eyes narrowed.
The depths of the water rippled slightly. A black shadow flashed through the ripples and swayed gently.
It was a familiar feeling. Almost at the same time he looked over, a black fire burned in the depths of his eyes.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, leaned forward, and stared at the bottom of the water ripples. When his eyes passed through the green immortal water and the crystal clear dew that floated to the surface from time to time, he saw that at the bottom of the pool, a strange plant had grown. The green leaves were slender, and that mysterious and strange black fire, as if it was a companion of this plant, appeared from time to time on these leaves.
The black fire burned on the green leaves, but it did not burn or damage the plant in the slightest. To be exact, the black fire was emitted from the inside of the plant, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, flickering.
When Lu Chen saw this strange scene, he immediately thought of himself. Similarly, Blackfire was in his body, and it seemed like it could coexist with him. It would never harm his physical body, but it could cause fatal and terrifying damage to others.
What kind of logic was this?
Until now, Lu Chen had not figured it out, but after thinking about it carefully, he quickly remembered that the Spirit Grass under the pool did not appear out of thin air. In fact, he himself had brought these Spirit Grass here. When he was still on the Kunlun mountain, Atsu acted as a thief for stealing Spirit Grass everywhere for a period of time. It stole many precious Spirit Grass from the Herb Garden of the Kunlun Party.
Regarding this lack of public morality and taking advantage of the chaos to enrich their own pockets, Lu Chen severely criticized Atsu and taught it to never do this kind of stealing again. Then, he stored all the valuable Spirit Grass that Atsu had stolen into the tree hole.
Among them, there was a kind of Spirit Grass called "Black Mud Lotus" that could only grow in water and mud. Even after it was picked, if it was not immediately refined into medicine, then it must be kept in water. Otherwise, its spiritual energy would dissipate in a short period of time, and it would become useless.
At that time, Lu Chen casually threw those Black Mud Lotus into this already useless pool. After that incident, Kunlun mountain became turbulent, and he continuously encountered many dangerous situations. Unknowingly, he had long forgotten about this experience.
But now, at the bottom of this pool, the Spirit Grass that seemed to have merged with the strange black fire should be the Black Mud Lotus that he had thrown into the water.
Lu Chen never knew that in this world, there was actually a Spirit Grass that could merge with such a strange thing like the black fire. But thinking about it carefully, before him, besides the Fire Shaman and himself, there seemed to be no third person who could have this kind of power.
Uh, maybe there is one more … Lu Chen turned his head and glanced to his side.
The Black Dog walked past him, and with a somewhat curious look, it came to the pool and looked into the water.
The green water reflected the face of Atsu. It looked a little confused, and then this black dog once again showed a personality that was ten times stronger than its owner. Well, to put it simply, it was reckless …
Atsu saw the black fire on the leaves in the water. It was not a stranger to it, and it was shocked. Its eyes widened, and then it roared. Then, its body suddenly jumped, and with a splash, it jumped directly into the water.
"Boom!"
Water splashed everywhere, drenching Lu Chen's shoes and trousers. For a moment, Lu Chen was also a little dumbfounded. After he reacted, he could not help but curse, "Stupid dog, you …"
At that moment, Lu Chen really had the urge to cover his forehead and look up to the sky and sigh. He shook his head, dived into the water, and grabbed this weird stupid dog's tail, and pulled it out. He said, "Behave yourself, what's going on down there, we still haven't …"
Suddenly, his voice became low, and he frowned. He stared at Atsu that he had just pulled out and saw that it was holding a leaf that was burning with black fire in its mouth. Then, Atsu was holding it in its mouth and chewing it, looking particularly sweet and delicious.
At the same time, Lu Chen clearly saw that the color of the black fire in Atsu's eyes suddenly intensified several times in an instant.
