Chapter 23 A Tree Inside His Body
Chapter 23 A Tree Inside His Body
“I give you my bag and you offer me foods, you also need to take me out, what do you say?” She takes her bag from her back and asks.
Gao Ge’s eyes light up. He quickly takes two fruits out of his pocket and hands them over to her. Then he picks up the bag, feeling contented. Although the girl’s bag is not large, it is much better than his pocket.
“Right, when did you lose your way?” Gao Ge asks.
“Yesterday morning. I came and couldn’t find the right way.” Looking at him curiously, she replies.
Gao Ge heaves a sigh of relief.
The secret realm lasts for two days. That is to say, this place will not disappear until tomorrow morning. So, at present, he will still have the opportunity to continue to hunt for treasures. Perhaps he would meet Yue Xincheng and Xia Lu again, but nobody can suspect him of killing Lyu You with the thunder tiger’s help. He just has to come up with some pretexts in advance. However, the cultivators from Thunder Sect are generally unreasonable, so he still has to improve his strength as soon as possible.
What Gao Ge doesn’t know is that at the foot of Mount Duanlong, police cars are now parked everywhere.
The incident happened here has already set off an uproar in Huaxia.
At the foot of the mountain, there are dozens of tents around. Among them, a military green tent is the most conspicuous. In the tent, there is a long table with a map on it. A group of people are standing around the table and one man in white gown points at the map and says with a serious voice: “The terrain of Mount Duanlong has changed a lot, and there is a layer of fog outside, which covers the whole mountain. We can’t come in and guys inside can’t come out.”
Only one man who is about 40 still sits in a chair now. He is wearing a grey Chinese tunic suit. Although quite rare, the suit suits him perfectly well, making him look more powerful.
The man in white gown looks at him after delivering his speech.
“What’s your opinion, Tianlong?”
“Just relax and go with the flow.” He leaves the chair slowly and replies with a smile.
“And if someone comes out...”
“Then just take them from here. You know, every one of them is their parents’ treasure.” Says the man in the chair before the white-gown guy finishes his words.
“Well... Yeah, but what if someone evil is hiding among them?” the man asks in white seriously.
“Bad guys?” The man in Chinese tunic suit laughs. “Do you think we guys are heroes? As long as he doesn’t impair Huaxia’s benefits, we don’t care whether he is good or bad.”
The man in white gown smiles and agrees.
All men get up and walk outside the tent, watching Mount Duanlong shrouded in thick fog, their eyes twinkling with alertness.
“Do you think this is a variable, or a starting point?” Asks seriously the man in Chinese tunic suit.
No one replies.
“Actually, we can do nothing but wait.” He takes a deep breath, feeling resigned.
The night here among these hills is extremely appealing.
Especially when Gao Ge is lying on a rock and watching the stars. With a fruit in his hand, he is nibbling on it pleasingly. And he feels indescribably joyous when a gust of mountain breeze comes, although it’s a little cold.
However, Rui isn’t pleased at all. She is crouching on the edge of the stone with two hands constantly rubbing on her shoulders, hoping to use such a way to bring some warmth.
“Why not hide inside a cave?” Rui asks unpleasantly.
“Because the sky is about to vanish, I want to appreciate it more.” Gao Ge replies.
Rui sighs while shaking her head.
I can’t understand the world of you cranky teenagers.
Suddenly, Gao Ge jumps up and stands on a huge rock, and it seems that he just sensed something special. And now Gao Ge stands straight just like a proud powerful lion.
With her mind wandering, Rui looks at him.
She could see his face from her position, which looks extremely shocked. It seems that he just saw a God.
“No, it’s diffident, quite different...” Gao Ge whispers.
“What’s different?” Rui asks, standing underneath the rock.
Gao Ge stretches out his fingers and makes several gestures, as if he were drawing lines.
Stars in the sky look different.
“Can you see those? There are many lines, quite intricate, like chessboards and maps.”
She is a little surprised and follows his eyes to look towards the sky. Yet Rui could see nothing even her eyes become sore. She rubs her eyes and asks.
“Not at all, what are you talking about?”
Glancing at her, Gao Ge feels even more surprised.
Am I the only one who can see this?
But if so, why? Does the tree he saw before has anything to do with this condition?
He feels excited and worried after discovering this.
“Hey?” Gao Ge suddenly stares at the sky surprisingly, “Such a big nebula!”
“Where?” Rui looks at the sky with her chin up for a long time, but still can’t see anything, and she only feels that the stars here are brighter.
She turns around and looks at Gao Ge, feeling worried and annoyed.
Then rubs her feet and mutters to herself: “Totally! The wild fruit on the mountain is not edible, look, is he poisoned?” When she was at school, her biology teacher told her there’s a kind of mushroom which can make people have various illusions. Seeing Gao Ge eating those fruits up before, she thinks he is definitely having illusions now!
He is ill because of those fruits!
Yet Gao Ge suddenly sits down with his legs crossed.
He can feel the energy in his body flowing with the nebula in the sky.
However, when he slowly closes his eyes and tries to communicate with the energy flowing slowly inside, he sees a totally different situation.
It seems to be a mysterious space. Standing there, he could see a heart beating, it’s connected with countless blood vessels, and blood is flowing like a river.
“Is this my heart?” He thinks curiously.
Below his heart a flash of blue light shines.
Looking down at it, Gao Ge feels shocked again.
“Is that a tree? Seriously?”
Numerous stars are still hanging around in the tree now, looking spectacular.
However, Gao Ge is so surprised that he couldn’t think about anything.
After a long period of time, he finally realizes.
“Am I going to become rich and powerful?”
This is his first action.
When he looks again at the beautiful sky, he subconsciously reaches out his hand, he feels he just grabbed a star. And then he slowly incorporates it into his body and feels immensely haughty. The energy is crazily surging in his body as if by a certain sense of excitement, and then pushes his martial meridians bit by bit.
“With the stars inside my heart, any cultivators can be slaughtered by me!”
He reads slowly.
