Chapter 115

Xiao Tangqiu’s original plan was to climb onto the Sacred Tree via retracting vine that finished eating. Although there were some twists and turns, they managed to land safely. But just as they landed, they were attacked by that vine.

When they were on the vine, the vine could not turn around and attack, so they were brought up together. Now they come down on their own, the vine would naturally get away.

Xue Junli pulled out his gun without hesitation, converted it into the most lethal weapon, and fired a quick shot at the vine.

Boom!

The vine was instantly blown up, its pieces and juice splashed all over the ground. The color was very similar to human flesh and blood, and even the taste was very similar. Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help frowning.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the fragments quickly regrouped and turned into a new vine to attack them again. Duan Hongzhen immediately took a step forward and cut off half of the vine.

But even chopping off half of it was still of no use. The vine’s broken part quickly regrew. No matter how they attacked, the vine would automatically regenerate and heal and then attack even more ferociously.

Xiao Tangqiu took out his crossbow and shot. When the crossbow bolt pierced the vine, the vine suddenly reeled with pain!

Miraculously, this time the vine failed to heal and bloody liquid bled out from the wound.

Xue Junli reacted instantly, “It’s magic. Only attacks that contain magic are effective! Continue! Don’t stop!”

Xiao Tangqiu’s heart leaped, and he couldn’t help getting excited despite trying to stay calm. Although his attack was effective, if he didn’t take it seriously, he would still be pitted.

He secretly observed the surroundings while attacking the vine non-stop. The big hole in the center of the Sacred Tree trunk seemed to be where the Sacred Tree ate, it could be roughly considered as a human mouth. As for the vine… maybe a tongue?

But unlike his imagination, although this cave was dark and deep, it didn’t have much of a bloody or otherwise disgusting scent. On the contrary, it was very clean, just like an ordinary tree hole.

The vine fought as it retreated, and they all moved forward towards it. The structure around the Sacred Tree’s hole was not complicated, and they soon reached the center of the tree hole.

“Fuck, what is that!” Tang Mianmian yelled.

There was a huge flower bud hanging in the center of the tree hole. This huge flower bud was not beautiful, it was even a bit hideous and terrible looking. It was two to three meters wide with tightly closed flesh-colored petals and an outer layer full of jagged barbs.

There were dozens of vines surrounding the flower bud. The thickest vine which was attacking them protruded from the bottom of the flower bud. It seemed to also be what fed the flower.

“Is this the final boss?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Tang Mianmian realized, “Why isn’t it attacking us?”

That vine knew to be a loyal guard, but why didn’t this final boss-looking flower do anything?

“Because&#k2026; I already had a fight with it&#k2026;” Suddenly, an extremely weak voice rang out.

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned to see Bai Yushan suddenly appear in front of them. Her appearance was particularly wretched. No, not only wretched, it was completely miserable.

Bai Yushan was covered in blood and all the clothes on her body were torn. That was nothing. Not only did she lose half of her arm, but even the most important feature for a girl was ruined — she only had half of her face left.

Her face looked like it had been licked by a blind bear’s barbed tongue, only half of her face remained intact while the other half of her face was minced.

“Your…” Xiao Tangqiu hesitated, but couldn’t bear to say it. After all, the face was the most important thing for a girl, especially a beautiful girl like Bai Yushan.

Yu Fuling and Sai Lulu unbearably turned their heads away at the same time.

Bai Yushan’s expression was calm and wooden, “I already fought with it and tamed it…”

Xue Junli frowned slightly, “When did you come up here?”

“Before the Sacred Tree was fully grown,” Bai Yushan smiled coldly, “When everyone was kneeling and worshiping the Sacred Tree, I climbed up directly with the climbing rope.”

“I see, no wonder you’re so much faster than us,” Xiao Tangqiu realized. It turned out that this was another unconventional action from Bai Yushan. But it seemed to have turned out perfectly this time, “Did you find anything?”

Bai Yushan licked the corners of her lips. She only had half of her face left, so she could only wiggle half of her lips, her smile ironic and distorted, “…We were deceived.”

“Deceived? What do you mean?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned.

“There is nothing here,” Bai Yushan said coldly, “there is nothing we are looking for at all, only this huge flower, which deceived people to worship it religiously in order to eat them… Those stupid and ignorant people actually think it is some sort of a divine tree!”

Xiao Tangqiu was instantly disappointed, “There is no special item to revive Shen Yuan here?”

“If there is, I would have resurrected Yuru,” Bai Yushan glared at Xiao Tangqiu, “Do you think I don’t want to resurrect my sister? I have worked so hard for so long just to resurrect her!”

She became agitated, “I did so much! It’s all to bring her back! But I always fail again and again! Disappointed again and again! Do you think I don’t want to resurrect her? I want to resurrect her more than anything else in the world! More than anyone else in the world! I only have her left! I have only one loved one!”

After so much time and effort to gain nothing, Xiao Tangqiu felt his hopes turn to ash, but still sighed and comforted Bai Yushan, “Next time… next time we will definitely find it! We will definitely… definitely be able to revive the people we want to bring back…”

Bai Yushan calmed down. She looked at Xiao Tangqiu and then the others coldly before continuing to speak, “Although this Sacred Tree is not a real divine tree, it pretends to be one in order to eat the people it kidnapped. So it should have special abilities related to space.”

“What kind of space ability? What do you mean?” Xiao Tangqiu frowned, “Do you mean… something like the ability to travel through different spaces?”

“Yes. I think that those who were in shipwrecks were brought here by the Sacred Tree using its spatial ability that can travel thousands of miles, and then kept in captivity by the Sacred Tree on this island. That’s why they would appear under the Sacred Tree as soon as they woke up. “Bai Yushan said.

Xiao Tangqiu didn’t quite understand, “Since the Sacred Tree’s goal is to eat people, why not eat them right at the beginning instead of raising them in captivity on this small island?”

Xue Junli indifferently spoke up, “It’s probably the same as primitives who tamed wild beasts to raise them into domestic animals. The Sacred Tree is constantly stealing the vitality of those people. When it is almost finished, it will fully consume those humans. This way, there’s no waste.”

Tang Mianmian did not understand, “Then why is this island called Revival Island? What does Eternal Revival Island mean?”

Xiao Tangqiu pondered for a while, then suddenly said, “…After those people are eaten by the Sacred Tree, they become real trees. Isn’t this resurrection? If the Sacred Tree can keep mankind in captivity and steal their vitality, Isn’t this eternal life?”

Tang Mianmian blurted out, “Damn! It has nothing to do with humans!”

Bai Yushan said coldly, “If I guessed right, the space passage should be in the bud. I have looked everywhere else and there’s nothing.”

Xiao Tangqiu paused, “As long as we go through the space passage, we can leave the instance?”

“It should be so. There is no other way to escape. You can either try it or find another way,” Bai Yushan wearily closed her eyes, “I’m already very tired, I want to take a rest first …”

Upon seeing this, Yu Fuling took a step forward, “You have lost too much blood. Let me take care of it for you.”

Bai Yushan gave Yu Fuling a cold glance, then nodded.

Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other before looking at Xue Junli, “Let’s try? Maybe the space passage is really in that bud.”

Xue Junli thought for a while, then nodded, “Alright, let’s give it a try…”

At this moment, the only newbie who followed them up suddenly said, “Can this bud transport so many of us at once? What if we can only go one at a time?”

Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback for a moment, “This…”

The newbie suddenly became excited, “I want to be the first to go up and see!”

As soon as he had finished speaking, before anyone could react, he climbed up the vine towards the bud.

“Hey! You’re crazy! If there is any danger…”

Before Xiao Tangqiu finished his words, the newbie already rushed up to the closed bud and shouted, “Send me home now! I want to go home! Mom, I want to go home!”

In the next moment, the tightly closed flower bud suddenly split open and swallowed the newbie. The newbie exclaimed, “I’ll be home soon! I’ll be able to…”

But before he could finish speaking his voice turned into a heart-piercing scream.

“Ahhhhh!”

Within that big opening was not a space passage at all, but a flower full of transparent liquid. The crystal clear flower nectar seemed to be extremely corrosive, and it corroded most of the newbie’s body in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, only half of his body remained intact while the other half was completely bloody.

In another blink of an eye, his whole body was corroded to the point that there was only a skeleton left.

At this time, his screams were still reverberating throughout the tree hole… And in an instant, even the bones were gone.
