The originally black tree turned snow-white in an instant, giving everyone a fright and causing them to retreat warily.
However, apart from turning snow-white, there were no other changes to the tree, nor did anything dangerous happen.
After a while, the white tree gradually turned back to black, as if nothing had happened.
This tree is a little strange. It's clearly a black tree, so why did it suddenly turn white? Li Xuan was extremely curious as he held a wooden stick and poked the black tree a few times.
However, the black tree remained black. It didn't undergo any changes.
Zhou Wen aimed the mysterious phone at the black tree and the camera function automatically locked onto the black tree. Clearly, this was the tree that had caused the mysterious phone to vibrate.
After pressing the camera button, the phone immediately entered the loading interface.
Many people were using their phones to illuminate and take pictures of the black tree, so Zhou Wen's actions didn't appear out of place.
As there was no danger, someone boldly shook the black tree with his hand. In the next second, the black tree turned into a ruby color. It was like a gem tree that shimmered with a mesmerizing glow.
The person who shook the tree was a girl. This scene gave her a fright as she hurriedly retreated.
Just like before, there was still no danger. The red gem tree gradually lost its luster and soon returned to its pitch-black state.
"This tree is really strange." Li Xuan seemed to think of something as he carefully shook the black tree. Indeed, the black tree changed color again, but it was different from the previous few times. This time, the black tree turned golden again.
"It seems that different people touch this tree, causing it to change colors," Li Xuan said.
"Let me give it a try." Everyone was very curious as they attempted to shake the black tree.
Indeed, just as Li Xuan had said, different people would cause it to change into different colors when they touched it. Even if it changed into red, the red color itself was different.
"Old Zhou, give it a try too," Li Xuan said to Zhou Wen.
"There's no need. I don't like taking risks. It's best you don't touch it." Zhou Wen shook his head in rejection. Before figuring out what the black tree was, he wasn't willing to touch it.
The phone was still loading, and the loading speed seemed to be much slower than before.
After playing for a while, they saw that the black tree had no other functions other than changing its color, so they felt a little bored.
Because there was nothing else here, everyone left Death City and continued to explore Restriction City.
The mysterious phone kept showing a loading screen. Even after the event ended and they left Restriction City together, the loading was still not completed.
Due to the loading screen, Zhou Wen wasn't able to game. After returning to his dorm, he took a rare early nap.
Ever since he advanced to the Legendary stage, the feeling of being possessed didn't appear again. Zhou Wen had a rather good sleep. When he woke up the next morning, he washed up and had breakfast. When he opened the mysterious phone again, he realized that the download had been completed. There was an additional tree-shaped icon on the desktop.
However, the cartoonish icon looked a little different from the black tree. Below it were the words "Dead Man Tree".
Zhou Wen was somewhat curious, unsure why this tree had an instance dungeon. He immediately clicked on the tree's icon.
After the program started, the image turned black. In a dark space, there was a tree. The tree was also a black tree, but in that dark space, the appearance of the tree could be clearly seen.
Apart from its appearance being a little cartoonish, it was the black tree they had seen in Death City.
The blood-colored avatar stood in front of the black tree, but apart from the black tree, there was nothing around it. Zhou Wen was momentarily at a loss as to what the instance dungeon meant.
Summoning the Silver-Winged Flying Ant, he made it fly towards the black tree and attack it. The Magical Needle stabbed the black tree, but it failed to penetrate, nor did it damage the black tree at all.
The tree didn't react at all as it continued standing silently in the darkness.
Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before deciding to let the blood-colored avatar personally touch the tree to see if there would be any abnormal changes.
However, what puzzled Zhou Wen was that after the blood-colored avatar touched the black tree, the black tree didn't change in color. It remained pitch-black, no different from before.
That's strange. Why isn't it changing color? Zhou Wen remembered that when everyone touched the black tree in Death City, the black tree's color changed. There had never been such a situation.
Is it my problem, or is it the game's problem? Zhou Wen was momentarily unsure what the tree was for, nor did he understand what the instance dungeon was for. All he could do was ignore it for the time being. After exiting the game, he logged into another instance dungeon to grind.
Now, there were only two types of monsters that Zhou Wen wanted to grind. One was a mutated Legendary. Only a mutated Legendary could drop a stat crystal with more than 18 points. It was useful to Zhou Wen.
The other was an Epic creature. An Epic creature could drop a stat crystal with more than 20 points. It was similarly useful to Zhou Wen.
However, Epic creatures were too powerful. Zhou Wen wasn't a match for the few Epic creatures he encountered in-game, so all he could do was seek out mutated Legendary creatures to kill.
In a room in Luoyang's An family, An Tianzuo returned to the An family.
"Tianzuo, has the situation around Luoyang been very bad recently?" Ouyang Lan asked worriedly.
"It's not bad. Apart from the Qihe River being a little troublesome, there aren't many problems elsewhere." An Tianzuo said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry. As long as I'm in Luoyang, I won't let those dimensional creatures invade Luoyang."
Ouyang Lan nodded slightly and sighed. "The Holy Land qualification battle is about to begin. I won't be at ease letting Zhou Wen go alone. Why don't we get Ah Sheng to accompany him?"
"Mom, are you really going to let Zhou Wen go? Aren't you going to reconsider? "An Tianzuo frowned.
Ouyang Lan shook her head and said, "I know what you're thinking, but Little Jing has a congenital illness. If something happens to her while accepting the special physique, it would be too terrifying. I don't want Little Jing to take any risks. Do you understand?"
"Understood." An Tianzuo added, "However, I believe Little Jing can do it."
"There's no need to talk about this anymore. I've already made my decision. Furthermore, the name has already been changed to Zhou Wen. There's no way to change it." Ouyang Lan stopped An Tianzuo from continuing.
An Tianzuo fell silent. Although he didn't agree with Ouyang Lan's decision, he wouldn't go against her wishes. He had always been a very filial son.
Ouyang Lan sighed softly. "Besides, Zhou Wen might not be willing to go. He doesn't have any blood relationship with the two of you, but his temper is surprisingly similar. He's so stubborn."
"It's different. He's stubborn, but we are confident," An Tianzuo said with his head held high.
Ouyang Lan only looked at An Tianzuo with a smile without a word.
