Chapter 358: Sacred Tree

A multi-origin beast deep in the mountains.

Coupled with the fact that it is far away from the existing urban buildings and lacks materials, developing the base will definitely be more difficult than in the city.

Lin Shi didn't know how the leader of the base came up with the idea of ​​building the base in the deep mountains and old forests.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Although he was still following Little Brother Zhou, Lin Shi was already extremely vigilant.

"Speaking of the location of our base, I have to thank Master Yun Yi again."

Zhou Xiaodi became a little excited when he mentioned Yun Yi, with a look of admiration on his face.

"In the beginning, we had a small base in the city. At that time, we didn't have enough food or clothing. Many people died every day just to get some food."

"Then one day, Lord Yunyi suddenly told us that there was a lot of food in this mountain. We were still skeptical at first, but we didn't expect it to be true!

Since then, we have built the base here, and then gathered survivors from the entire Yun Province into the base. "

"How many people are there in your base? Is there enough food for so many people?"

Lin Shiqi said.

"Of course it's enough. Not only is it enough, I can't finish it!"

"If we didn't have a car and food couldn't be transported out, Master Yun Yi also said that he would help others resist the apocalypse.

"It might scare you to death. There are more than 50,000 people in our base! It occupies an entire mountain!"

Having said this, Little Brother Zhou turned around and smiled mysteriously at Lin Shi.

"Hehehe, when you get to our base, you will understand what a miracle is!"

After saying that, he continued to lead the way.

Lin Shi fell into deep thought.

More than 50,000 people.

Quite a lot indeed.

How come a base is still related to miracles?

He guessed that maybe the person named Yun Yi discovered a large area of ​​mutated plants in the mountains.

After all, Yun Province had lush vegetation before the end of the world, although now the mountains and plains are covered in white, no different from other places.

But with more bases, the probability of mutant plants appearing will be greater.

Maybe there are mutated plants under the snow under his feet.

If they found a large area of ​​edible, self-growing mutant plants, it wouldn't be surprising to build a base around the mutant plants.

However, Lin Shi always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Why did the man named Yun Yi still engage in feudal superstition after becoming the leader of the base?

Is it to relieve the survivors' pressure to survive in the apocalypse?

After the two continued walking for more than half an hour, they climbed over a relatively high mountain again.

The scene in the distance shocked Lin Shi!

On the third hill in front, there is an extremely huge tree standing.

Even without the use of mental power, the giant tree could still be seen clearly in Lin Shi's eyes.

Because it is so big, I don’t even know how many meters high it is by visual inspection.

Viewed from afar from Lin Shi, it looked like a huge mushroom growing out of the side of the mountain.

The "mushroom" grew almost bigger than the mountain.

But Lin Shi could tell at a glance that it was not a mushroom.

He subconsciously swept his mental energy towards the giant tree.

Unexpectedly, when the invincible mental power swept past the giant tree again, it seemed to be blocked by some barrier.

Not only did the mental power fail to reach the tree, but it was bounced back.

The rebounded mental power made Lin Shi's mind go blank for a moment, and there was a buzzing in his ears.

This was a mental backlash.

He was shocked and quickly recovered his mental power.

Although he didn't show anything on his face, there was already a huge wave in his heart.

Little Brother Zhou didn't seem to notice anything unusual about Lin Shi. Seeing Lin Shi motionless, he thought Lin Shi was stunned and said:

"Did you see it? That is our sacred tree."

"Sacred tree?"

Lin Shi looked at the giant tree without blinking an eye.

"Has this tree always been there? Has it always been this big?"

“This sacred tree was found by Master Yun Yi, and it will bear countless fruits.

When I joined the base, it was already so big... Hey, it seems to have grown a little bit? "

Lin Shi looked solemn.

This tree definitely appeared after the end of the world.

The modern Internet is so developed.

There is no way that such a huge tree would not be discovered by anyone before the end of the world.

The moment he saw the tree, the giant mutated plant that Lin Tianrui once mentioned to him flashed through his mind.

It turned out to be here.

Although he found the giant mutant plant he wanted to find, Lin Shi didn't look happy on his face.

If it were the current situation, he wouldn't be able to absorb this mutant plant.

Otherwise, the entire base of more than 50,000 people will fall apart because of the loss of this "sacred tree".

In order to increase his strength and deprive more than 50,000 people of their livelihood, he couldn't do such a thing.

Seeing that Lin Shi was not speaking, Zhou Xiaodi urged:

"Let's walk faster and reach the base before dark, otherwise it will be difficult to walk at night. We will be safe when we reach the base."

After that, he continued walking towards the giant tree.

Lin Shi took steps to follow.

Now that you've come, make peace with it. Now that you've come, you have to investigate anyway.

Even if you can't absorb it, you can always observe and gain insights.

"Aren't there a lot of source beasts in the mountains at night? If you build a base here, you won't be attacked by the source beasts at night?"

As the sky gradually darkened, Lin Shi suddenly asked.

Even if they could clear all the source beasts, it would not take long for more source beasts to appear in the surrounding area.

Zhou Xiaodi said without turning his head:

"Of course not, the sacred tree will protect us. It will not let the source beasts attack us."

After hearing this, Lin Shi was basically able to determine that this sacred tree should be a huge mutant plant of a very high level.

Only in this way can it explain why other source beasts dare not approach.

It also makes sense why Lin Shi's mental power cannot detect it.

What Lin Shi is more concerned about is whether plants will have self-awareness after evolving to a high level?

Can plants without consciousness evolve mental power?

......

As the two gradually approached the sacred tree, Lin Shi also found more and more traces of human activities nearby.

A dead horse will die if it runs to the mountain.

In the end, Lin Shi followed Zhou Xiaodi and hurried, and after dark, he walked outside the base that Zhou Xiaodi mentioned.

It was also at the foot of the mountain where the sacred tree grew.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Open the door, open the door! I'm back!"

Zhou Xiaodi panted and slammed the wooden door in front of him.

The wooden door was about three meters high and was made of rough tree trunks.

The entire base was also surrounded by a wall made of tree trunks.

These woods surrounded the entire mountain.
