Peerless Insect Deity

Chapter 1040: Giant Banyan Tree



According to the old man Mu Lei, the entire Swamp Sea is boundless and its breadth is unimaginable. There is more than one human tribe living in the Zehai Tribe, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized tribe.

As for the Shenshu Sect that rules the Zehai Tribe, it is one of the three top forces in the Swamp Sea. The other two forces are the Wanfa Sect and the Feixian Sect.

Among them, the Shenshu Sect is the oldest force in the entire Swamp Sea, while the Wanfa Sect and the Feixian Sect are new forces. The three forces often have small frictions and conflicts. It is said that a big war took place thousands of years ago. What the result of the war was is not something that low-level cultivators like them can know.

Mu Lei's family is a freight family that makes a living by transporting goods. In the Swamp Sea, space treasures are extremely precious. The storage rings they carry with them can only hold some daily necessities and elixirs. The daily necessities of ordinary cultivators all rely on monsters to transport and circulate between various banyan trees.

The cargo on the back of the two-winged strange bird sitting down included edible salt, spices, and some strange spiritual herbs. Ye Lin was quite interested in these low-level spiritual herbs. He picked up a few and carefully sensed them and found that these spiritual herbs contained the same ingredients as the fruit of the sacred tree.

That is to say, ordinary people can also prevent the elixir made from these spiritual herbs from rotting.

After studying the spiritual herbs for a while, Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the large box for transporting goods and tried to enter a state of meditation. It would have been better if he hadn't tried it. Just as Ye Lin wanted to absorb the luck of the spiritual world into the dantian and transform it into mana, he felt pain all over his body. A large number of meridians were broken and shattered, and now they have not been repaired.

With Ye Lin's physical strength in the past, this injury could be healed in a few breaths, but now, his soul and spirit have suffered severe damage, and his physical body has been crushed by the mana of that powerful being and almost turned into powder. The mana in his body has been exhausted, and it is extremely difficult to restore his physical body to its heyday.

Sweat beads kept coming out of Ye Lin's forehead. Ye Lin gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and began to slowly absorb the heaven and earth's vitality to open up the blocked meridians bit by bit...

Two days later, Ye Lin's face was pale and his breath was weak, but he showed a smile. He finally repaired a meridian, but it was a pity that his Yuanshen's origin was greatly damaged and full of holes, and the same was true for Dantian, so he couldn't store mana.

In other words, Ye Lin is now like a big funnel. No matter how much energy and mana enter his body, it will soon be gone. He can't use powerful spells. Fortunately, he absorbs energy and converts mana into mana at the same speed. As long as there is a little mana in his body, he can use it to speed up the repair of meridians.

The young man named Mu Yidao came to Ye Lin and handed him a fragrant roast chicken.

"Brother Ye, you haven't eaten for many days. People are iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat for three days, you will be hungry. Even monks are no exception."

Ye Lin looked at the roast chicken with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why aren't these chickens rotten?"

Mu Yidao said with some distress: "When roasting, some juice of the fruit of the sacred tree was applied..."

Ye Lin suddenly realized, and then grabbed the fragrant roast chicken and ate it with relish. He even chewed and swallowed the bones, and soon he ate the plump roast chicken clean.

Now he can't store magic power in his body, and can only rely on food to replenish his physical strength and the consumption of various activities.

On the top of the double-winged strange bird, the old man Mu Lei pointed to a medium-sized, huge banyan tree about ten thousand feet high in the distance and laughed.

"Brother Ye, that is our hometown, called Qingshan Town, with a total population of about 200,000. The mayor is a Yuanying stage strongman with unfathomable strength."

Ye Lin looked in the direction of Mu Lei's finger, and saw a banyan tree as big as a mountain rising from the ground in the boundless purple-black miasma. On the main trunk of the banyan tree, there were magnificent mansions built, and on the smaller branches, there were simple stone houses built.

The trunk of the giant tree is like a busy street in the Wan Guo Continent, with people coming and going, and traffic, and colorful clothes hanging on the branches.

In addition to the buildings, some trunks and branches that are hundreds of feet wide even have clear rivers flowing into the poisonous fog swamp.

This scene reminded Ye Lin of the safe island in the Galaxy Secret Realm where there were also big trees for the secret explorers to live in, but the scale was far less exaggerated and huge than these banyan trees.

Gaga Gaga...

One after another, two-winged strange birds were circling around the giant banyan tree, and there were also merchants like Mu Lei who were loaded with goods coming in and out.

As Ye Lin got closer to the big banyan tree, he felt that the giant banyan tree was covering the sky and the sun, and a huge shadow area appeared on the swamp poisonous fog.

Mu Lei smiled excitedly and introduced it to Ye Lin.

"The living area of ​​the sacred tree in our Qingshan Town is divided into four layers. The first layer is the trunk, with the most branches and the densest crown. Most of the people living here are lower-class civilians, who are in the Qi Refining Stage. Living here is most vulnerable to the invasion of miasma tides."

"The second layer is a slightly higher area, where most of the residents are foundation-building cultivators with a slightly higher status. Our family is on the second layer."

"The third layer is for the children of some powerful families. There are usually Jindan cultivators in their families, or relatives who have entered the Sacred Tree Sect as inner disciples. They are all very rich and enjoy the right to share the fruits of the sacred tree every year."

"This fourth floor, which is the top of the sacred tree, is naturally the residence of the town's power holders and the mayor's family. According to the rules of the sacred tree sect, 60% of the fruit of the entire sacred tree belongs to the mayor. Ordinary people have to pay a price to obtain the fruit of the sacred tree."

"Of course, the mayor is also responsible for protecting the entire town, fighting against individual powerful rotten monsters, and organizing manpower to fight against the endless rotten monsters hidden in the miasma tide."

Ye Lin nodded as he listened.

"I don't know what the swamp tide is?"

Mu Lei's face was slightly solemn, and Mu Yidao, who was standing next to him, was holding the handle of the knife, his face was a little pale.

"The swamp tides will invade the entire swamp sea every few decades or hundreds of years. When the tide rises, the water of the Yellow Spring surges like a tsunami and rolls up hundreds or even thousands of feet high. At the same time, it will also push up the coverage of these poisonous miasma. Ordinary cultivators who fall into the Yellow Spring water will be corroded into bones in a moment. Even Jindan cultivators who fall into it will be in danger of death."

"And those rotten monsters living in the swamp sea and the swamp poison will take the opportunity to attack all living creatures. Every swamp tide is a disaster for all living creatures in our entire swamp sea!"
