103: The second sacred tree?
Having been teammates with Ge Xiaobao for three years, everyone in the Qinglong Battle Team was more than familiar with his Sun True Fire.
As soon as Zhang Fan used it, Li Yu and the other two recognized it.
Then they were shocked; why did Zhang Fan have Sun True Fire? Wasn't his Talent Divine Power a space-type ability?
Although they had countless questions, they weren't familiar with Zhang Fan, so they could only suppress their doubts.
Hua Xia knew the inside story, but she was equally surprised.
Zhang Fan and Ge Xiaobao's battle was brief; in less than three minutes, Zhang Fan obtained Ge Xiaobao's transformation!
He even obtained the Talent Divine Power of Sun True Fire!
It was too miraculous!
Hua Xia finally understood why the two Demigod Laoyezi valued Zhang Fan so much!
The group continued to advance.
Zaglama Mountain indeed harbored an astonishing number of Black Scaled Pythons.
As they delved deeper, more and more Black Scaled Pythons appeared.
At first, there were only one or two, slowly increasing to three to five.
By the end, the number of Black Scaled Pythons reached an absurd level.
Often, dozens or even hundreds would appear at once, densely packed, making those with trypophobia feel sick!
Fortunately, these Black Scaled Pythons were all low-level Titan Monsters; although numerous, they posed no threat to the group.
However, as they continued forward, Foundation Establishment Realm Black Scaled Pythons began to appear, and their numbers also grew.
“Something’s not right!”
Hua Xia’s expression was solemn: “The Black Scaled Pythons we’ve encountered today, both in quantity and level, are not right!”
“What’s wrong?”
Zhang Fan was a little confused.
Hua Xia explained: “When we first came here three years ago, Foundation Establishment Realm Black Scaled Pythons were extremely rare!”
“Foundation Establishment Realm Black Scaled Pythons only appeared when we were almost at the Bottomless Abyss; there were none before that!”
“But this time!”
Hua Xia looked at the dark Zaglama Mountain: “We’ve only gone halfway, yet we’ve encountered so many Foundation Establishment Realm Black Scaled Pythons. This is very abnormal!”
Li Yu, Li Qian, and Chu Jian all nodded, also feeling that something was amiss.
“It’s indeed not quite normal!”
“Also, the number of Black Scaled Pythons is much higher than last time!”
“Could it be that these Black Scaled Pythons have all evolved over the past three years?”
Zhang Fan thought of a possibility.
“Not very likely!”
Hua Xia shook her head: “The Taklamakan Desert is far from the Divine Tree, and the Congenital One Qi is thin, making it extremely difficult for monsters to evolve!”
“Hmm?”
As Hua Xia spoke, she suddenly let out a soft exclamation, her face full of surprise: “Wait! The Congenital One Qi in this place…”
Hua Xia seemed to have discovered something incredible, saying in disbelief: “You all carefully sense the Congenital One Qi here!”
The group didn’t understand why, but they still focused their minds and sensed carefully.
Then, they were shocked!
“Such dense Congenital One Qi! It’s even denser than in Beijing!”
“How is this possible?”
“What’s going on?”
“Isn’t this the heart of the Taklamakan Desert?”
Zhang Fan and the others looked at each other, all stunned by this discovery.
The Divine Tree grows in the center of the Pacific Ocean; the closer one is to the Divine Tree, the denser the Congenital One Qi, and vice versa.
The Taklamakan Desert is far from the Pacific Ocean, so the Congenital One Qi should be very thin.
But the reality was completely opposite.
The density of Congenital One Qi here far surpassed that of Chang’an, Beijing, and other places, comparable to many coastal cities!
This was too abnormal!
“Captain, what do you think is the cause?” Chu Jian asked.
Hua Xia had the highest cultivation and had been trained by Grandpa Hua since childhood; her knowledge and experience were undoubtedly the broadest.
Hua Xia pondered for a moment, then slowly said: “All the Congenital One Qi on our Earth comes from the Divine Tree!”
“Other than that, there is nothing else that can produce Congenital One Qi!”
“The abnormal Congenital One Qi here can only be due to two possibilities!”
“First!”
“There is something here that can gather Congenital One Qi!”
“Very possible!”
Chu Jian nodded repeatedly: “Although the Congenital One Qi in the Taklamakan Desert is thin, it does exist!”
“If there truly is something that gathers Congenital One Qi, prolonged collection and accumulation would certainly increase its density!”
“Captain, what’s the second possibility?” Li Qian pressed.
“Second…”
Hua Xia fell silent, seemingly unwilling to believe this possibility.
“Second, a second Divine Tree has appeared here, or something similar to a Divine Tree, something that can produce Congenital One Qi!” Zhang Fan stated the answer.
“Yes!”
Hua Xia glanced at Zhang Fan, then nodded: “Only something that can produce Congenital One Qi would make the Congenital One Qi here so dense!”
The twin sisters and Chu Jian were all shocked by this answer.
They looked at Hua Xia, then at Zhang Fan, remaining silent for a long time.
There was only one Divine Tree in the world, the one in the Pacific Ocean!
Other than that, there were no others, at least publicly acknowledged only this one!
Once a new Divine Tree was discovered, the impact on the entire world would undoubtedly be beyond imagination!
One could imagine that it would definitely cause a huge uproar!
“Let’s continue forward!”
Zhang Fan said: “Our baseless conjectures here are just that, conjectures. It’s better to go in and find out for ourselves!”
“Right, right!”
“We’ll know once we go in and explore!”
“Then let’s hurry, I’m already a bit impatient!”
The suspected existence of a second Divine Tree made everyone’s desire to investigate intensely strong.
So they continued on their journey.
The sky had completely darkened, and night shrouded Zaglama Mountain, making this already dark magnetic mountain even darker.
It was like a giant dark beast, prostrate on the vast land.
As they continued to advance, the level of Black Scaled Pythons appearing grew higher and higher.
By the time they had covered two-thirds of the journey, even Core Formation Realm Black Scaled Pythons had appeared, and critically, their numbers were increasing.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle—”
Sand rolled, and Black Scaled Pythons, each over 50 meters long and with waists thicker than a minivan, crawled out.
They held their heads high, flicked their tongues, emitted chilling hissing sounds, and rapidly approached.
“Void Imprisonment!”
Zhang Fan snapped his fingers.
Spatial fluctuations spread out, covering an area of 300 meters.
The rapidly approaching Black Scaled Pythons were immediately immobilized.
“Thunderous Strike!”
Chu Jian low-roared, his hands spread open, and streaks of lightning shot from his fingertips, striking the Black Scaled Pythons.
“Crackle, crackle, crackle—”
The Black Scaled Pythons twitched all over, their bodies charred, and then stopped moving.
“Beautiful!”
Zhang Fan praised.
Birds of a feather flock together.
These members of the Qinglong Battle Team were all excellent, one more so than the other!
Chu Jian, though from an ordinary family, possessed the Kui Niu Transformation, and his lightning divine power was incredibly formidable!
In terms of destructive power alone, it was no less than Ge Xiaobao’s Sun True Fire!
Chu Jian scratched his head: “It’s your Void Imprisonment, Zhang Fan, it’s too powerful; they all became live targets!”
Zhang Fan smiled.
The group continued their advance, and after more than an hour of travel, they finally passed through Zaglama Mountain and reached their destination.
Before them appeared a city buried in yellow sand and ruins.
By the light, they could vaguely see crumbling mud walls, mud houses, broken walls, and yellow sand everywhere.
Although the city had become a ruin, its scale still vaguely showed that it must have been very prosperous once!
