The valley where ancient humans once lived was only about 30 minutes away from the World Tree. Of course, that was taking into account the flying speed of the Firetree Silverflower.
From leaving the valley to seeing the towering figure of the World Tree in the distance, it only took 20 minutes.
This time, there were no demonic beasts like the Nine-Headed Bird that rushed towards the Firetree Silverflower, but the scene that appeared in front of them shocked everyone.
Corpses were everywhere!
All kinds of creatures fell around the bottom of the World Tree. Whether it was at the top of the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain, the corpses of creatures were everywhere.
In sharp contrast to the mountain of corpses, the powerful creatures on the tree were safe and sound. They did not seem to see the tragic hellish scene under the tree. They leaned comfortably on the tree and kept absorbing the vitality from the World Tree.
On the rocky ground further away, the group of [Travellers] that were attracted by the vitality of the World Tree were not frightened by the mountain of corpses. They still bravely rushed towards the World Tree.
During the charge, this group of [Travellers] would inevitably be eaten by [Prey] or [Predator], but because the base number of [Travellers] was huge, there would always be fish that escaped the net and escaped the attack of [Prey] and [Predator].
The [Travellers] that crossed this dead line finally climbed the mountain where the World Tree was rooted. What greeted them was the mountain of corpses, which was both a warning and a tempting and delicious food.
However, it seemed that because of the [Sweet Scent] of the World Tree, the group of [Travellers] who had been lured here seemed to have forgotten their fear. They ignored the warning of the mountain full of corpses and ran straight to the root of the World Tree.
But the huge amount of exercise would eventually make them hungry, and food was everywhere. They only needed to lower their heads to tear off a large piece of flesh.
Then, they, who had come here with great difficulty, did not even taste a trace of vitality from the root of the World Tree and became one of the corpses on the mountain.
"What happened?"
In the central control room, looking at the pile of corpses at the bottom of the World Tree, the members of the gatekeeper clan were stunned.
When they passed by the World Tree in order to get rid of the Nine-Headed Bird, what they saw was not a mountain full of corpses, but a lively scene of various creatures that occupied the land fighting each other.
But how many days have passed? How did it become like this?
The gatekeepers didn't think much about it, but Law quickly guessed the reason – it was the Sambika virus!
Everyone suppressed the shock in their hearts and looked at Sambica. They could clearly see the shock in Sambica's eyes that was not inferior to theirs.
The concerns he had when he saw the Nine-headed Bird being eaten by many creatures had now been realized.
"Sambica, are these corpses caused by the virus?" Lao Bai asked.
"Yes."
Sambica looked at the bleeding symptoms of the corpses on the screen and nodded silently.
That was a hemorrhagic virus. The final symptom of a creature's death was bleeding from the seven orifices. It matched the state of the corpses on the ground.
"That virus … is so violent? If we allow this to continue, will it … "
The World Tree, the mountains, and the rocky lands. There were countless powerful creatures in the ecosystem that connected the three points. If they were all wiped out by a tiny virus that could not be seen with the naked eye, it would be indescribably absurd.
"I can't imagine the outcome at all."
Everyone looked at the [River of Creatures] that was running on the rocky ground, and their eyes flashed slightly.
Here, the relationship between predator and prey was always playing out. However, no matter how many lives were lost every second, new creatures would come from all directions to fill in the gaps.
The red shadow controlled the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree to hover over the mountains and glanced at Sambica vaguely.
Before seeing the corpses on the mountain, who would have thought that this weak human, who he could kill with one punch, actually had such a terrifying ability?
If he used conventional means, it was basically impossible to make so many powerful creatures bow down and die. Even the [Predator] level creatures that were currently wandering on the rocky ground could not do it.
Ants could kill an elephant with enough strength. This sentence did not apply to humans, but it applied to these [Travellers] that came from all directions.
If it were not for the tempting aura of the World Tree that blinded them, it would not be surprising for them to swarm up and bite a [Predator] to death.
"Law, do we go up directly?"
The red shadow stopped thinking and looked at the World Tree displayed on the screen, as well as the powerful creatures that stayed safely on the tree.
"Yes, let's go up."
Law was also looking at the screen, but he was not looking at the creatures on the tree, but at the pile of corpses under the tree.
As long as you stare at a corpse, you will find that the corpse is drying up at a slow rate.
It's not rotting, but more like being swallowed.
However, at a glance, there were only corpses on the mountain, and no other living creatures.
Although it is not ruled out that it may be the work of some small creatures hidden in the pile of corpses, Law believes that the thing that is sucking the corpses is most likely the roots of the World Tree.
However, these things that happened on the ground will not affect them from climbing the World Tree.
After the red shadow received the order, he immediately controlled the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree to rise into the sky.
He wanted to complete the cooperation as soon as possible, and then lead the remaining members of the same race to find a suitable place to settle down. For example, the valley where ancient humans once lived, there are ready-made houses, and there are few creatures that visit it. It is a good place to live.
The Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree soared into the sky, which naturally attracted the attention of the creatures that treated the tree as their territory.
They coldly looked at the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree that rushed to a higher place, but they did not make any excessive movements, because they are not nine-headed birds, and they do not have any physical or mental needs for the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree.
There is another reason why they can occupy a [Seat] of the World Tree is because they believe in the principle that only the strong can occupy it.
In their world, strength is the only standard to measure the [Seat]. The stronger the person, the higher the seat. This is a matter of course, and the weak person is not worthy of the seat. This is also a matter of course.
For example, the group of corpses under the tree is a true portrayal of insufficient strength.
The kind of strength one should have, the kind of seat one should have.
This kind of understanding is rooted in their minds.
Therefore, as long as the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree does not come for their seat, then what does the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree want to do with them?
The most important thing is that they feel that the Silver Flower of the Flaming Tree did not test them one by one, and instead rushed to the clouds in a rush, which is purely an act of seeking death.
Because, above the clouds and below the clouds are two completely different worlds.
