Chapter 98 Strange Tree
The demon king walked in first and turned back to wait for Lin Shi.
Before the cave was frozen, it was hidden by a waterfall. After it was frozen, it was blocked by the ice that froze very quickly. It was very well hidden.
Lin Shi walked to the cave entrance and looked at the demon king with a strange face:
"How did you find this place?"
What is this guy doing in the mountains every day?
The demon king held his head high and looked very proud, motioning Lin Shi to follow him in.
Because it was getting dark, the cave was already dark.
Lin Shi took out a headlamp and put it on his head, and followed carefully.
There was no snow on the ground, but some frozen stones, which were very slippery.
However, the cave was not deep. After walking more than ten meters, light appeared in front.
Lin Shi followed the demon king to a cave.
Seeing the scene in the cave clearly, Lin Shi's eyes flashed with surprise.
The cave was very high, with rock walls on both sides, and there was a cave entrance at the top. A huge stone was lying on the top, and there was a faint light shining from the cracks in the stones above.
There is a pool of water under the cave, but the pool has frozen.
In the middle of the pool, there is a pile of stones protruding from the water.
A strangely shaped tree grows on the pile of stones in the middle of the pool, and the scattered light falls on the tree.
This picture looks very strange, and Lin Shi feels as if he has strayed into some fairy scene.
The trunk of the tree is bent, and the trunk is as thick as a bucket and gray-black.
The roots are inserted into the gaps between the stones, intertwined.
The numerous branches and dense purple leaves form a huge purple crown.
The whole tree is five or six meters high.
Just looking at it, there is a feeling of extremely strong vitality.
There are green fruits hanging on the tree, which are exactly the kind that the demon king brought back.
And under the tree, a giant snake that has been disemboweled is lying there with its belly turned upside down, motionless.
The demon king saw the snake's body and slapped it to the pool with one claw, and stretched out his claw to point at the tree.
Lin Shi first walked over to check the snake.
The snake was about three meters long, as thick as an adult's calf, and had the same purple-blue pattern as the tree.
The snake's body was almost broken in the middle, and the snake's gallbladder had disappeared.
Looking at the tooth marks on the snake's body, Lin Shi knew without thinking that the demon king had bitten it to death.
"Did you bite it?"
He glanced at the demon king, who licked his mouth and barked.
"Don't eat everything next time."
Lin Shi's old father sighed, what if this thing is poisonous?
Seeing the demon king jumping around proved that at least the surface of the snake was non-toxic.
Lin Shi judged from the snake's body shape and the color he had never seen before that the snake had been alienated, and it would be difficult for ordinary cold-blooded animals to survive at this temperature.
Perhaps the tree also contributed.
But when he walked to the snake, the cornucopia did not indicate that there was no master source nearby.
Lin Shi tried to put his hand on the snake, but still did not give any prompt.
Could it be that the source power of this snake was in the snake gall, and the demon king had eaten the gall, so the source power in the snake disappeared?
Or did the source beast die for too long and dissipate?
Lin Shi pondered secretly.
In fact, he always had a question in his heart, that is, humans and beasts are both animals, why do they evolve in different directions.
In the previous life, researchers proved that humans can hardly absorb source power autonomously like plants and animals.
It's like...
Humans are not native animals on this planet.
There has always been controversy in the history of science about how humans appeared.
There is no evidence that humans evolved from apes.
Darwin's theory of evolution is just a hypothesis.
Putting away the bold speculation in his heart, Lin Shi calmed down and walked towards the tree.
The demon king was walking back and forth under the tree, and it seemed that he couldn't wait.
When he approached, Lin Shi found that there were teeth marks of the demon king on the trunk.
With the demon king's temper, it wouldn't be surprising for him to bring the tree back.
Now it just brought back the fruit for him to pick, which shows how hard this tree is.
He reached out and picked a fruit and handed it to the Demon King.
The Demon King took it happily, shaking his tail, and then put it on the ground and continued to look at Lin Shi.
"You are getting smarter and smarter."
Lin Shi patted the guy's head and climbed up the tree neatly.
When his body touched the trunk,
the cornucopia showed a prompt:
It was detected that the plant contains a lot of source power. Do you want to absorb it? Yes/No
Lin Shi raised his eyebrows, and there was not much surprise in his heart.
The cornucopia has been able to absorb source power for a long time.
Lin Shi continued to pick fruits.
After a while, when he fell down, there were more than a dozen green fruits in the space.
After confirming that there was no more fruit on the tree, Lin Shi said to the Demon King beside him:
"Don't let anything disturb me."
The Demon King immediately became energetic and walked back and forth in the cave.
Lin Shi put his hand on the trunk, looked at the cornucopia interface and said silently:
"Yes, absorb."
......
Haishi.
Shen Family Manor.
Shen Fanren, who was preparing to rest, sat by the bed, frowning as he listened to his subordinate Wang Zhi's report.
"Boss, those cops still refuse to cooperate with us. Should we?"
Wang Zhi tentatively made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Shen Fanren stood up and paced around the room.
The confrontation with the official power of the Public Security Bureau began when Lin Shi killed Shen Jinbin and three bodyguards in the hospital.
When Lin Shi killed Shen Jinbin's bodyguard, he did not take the gun from the bodyguard, just to cause some trouble to Shen Fanren.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
But Lin Shi did not expect that.
This incident caused Shen Fanren not just a little trouble, but a lot of trouble.
After the end of the world in the previous life, Shen Fanren relied on the network of relationships and good reputation he had built in Hai City for many years.
At the beginning of the end of the world, he established a cooperative relationship with the official.
And took out countless materials and manpower.
This established the position of the Shen family in Hai City, until later it slowly disintegrated and annexed the official forces of Hai City, becoming the uncrowned king of Hai City.
And in this life, because of Lin Shi's casual move, the police found a gun from Shen Fanren's bodyguard.
Shen Fanren was listed as a key investigation target by the Hai City Public Security Bureau before the end of the world began.
After the subsequent contact was cut off, Shen Fanren found that his manor was surrounded by a group of special police without receiving any news, and a lot of contraband was found in it.
Shen Fanren was taken away from the manor by the special police directly.
Fortunately, the end of the world has come, otherwise it would be enough for Shen Fanren to eat peanuts.
Then there were incidents of burning, killing and looting everywhere in Hai City.
Shen Fanren's men took advantage of the chaos to rescue him from the cell.
He returned to the manor to gather people again and confronted the official forces.
Later, the manor was transformed to accommodate refugees, and crimes occurred every day under the collapse of order.
Only then did the official forces of Hai City temporarily let him go.
The official forces of Hai City are headed by the chief of the Hai City Public Security Bureau, and have gathered a group of public security officers, special police, firefighters and other civil servants who were originally affiliated with the official.
These days, Shen Fanren has been trying to negotiate cooperation with the Hai City officials, but has repeatedly failed.
His strongest helper in the previous life has now become the biggest obstacle for Shen Fanren to rule Hai City.
Shen Fanren frowned and did not answer Wang Zhi immediately, but asked:
"How is the other thing I asked you to investigate?"
