Jiang Che saw the dark branches approaching like a ferocious python, wrapping around him madly.
The branches twisted and whistled, as if they were going to swallow him up in an instant.
This time, he did not ask Ding Ning again, but nodded without hesitation, "I agree to cooperate with you."
He thought very clearly that this secret was only known by a few people, but the Dark Tree knew it clearly.
There are two possibilities: One, someone informed on the matter.
Second, it tells the truth.
After hearing this, the Darkwood retracted its vine, and the sound became weaker and different.
At this moment, there was no trace of the previous madness and cruelty.
"I have occupied this passage for a long time. Now that all the cities have been devoured, there is no benefit for me to guard it any longer."
"It has been attacked continuously and the mother body is still being damaged." It shook its head and sighed.
Its mother body cannot actively move its position. Once it bears fruit, the dark tree here will wither, the seeds will not take root immediately, and it has no way to move autonomously.
If we stay here and wait for those lords to come out, the only result will be destruction.
"I will give way, but you must take my seeds back to your territory and plant them."
Jiang Che frowned, his heart full of vigilance, staring coldly at the dark wood.
The dark forest devours all life, and taking the seeds back would only become a huge hidden danger.
Darkwood continued, "But I will keep you updated with all the news I hear."
As it said before, it could hear all the sounds within the range and know everyone's plans. Jiang Che hesitated. What he lacked most now was information. Black Crow's actions made him realize the importance of information.
Jiang Che: "First, what is Black Crow's purpose?"
The dark forest chuckled, and that laughter seemed particularly eerie in the silence.
"I want to wait for you to succeed and reap the benefits."
Jiang Che frowned. He had thought about it, but he felt that it was not that simple, because he would be stronger in the future, and dying in his own copy would be a waste of life.
Seeing it directly reveal the Black Crow's plan, Jiang Che realized that this Dark Mother Tree would not keep any secrets.
He frowned and continued to think about whether it was worth it. He knew that there was more than one dark mother tree, and this was just one of them.
Jiang Che didn't think it would have any impact on him whether it lived or died.
Just when it finished speaking, seeing that Jiang Che still did not move, it continued to offer his conditions.
"Put my seeds in your territory. I can allow everyone in your territory to move freely in the Dark Forest, and it won't devour them."
After hearing this, Jiang Che realized that he had no idea where the Black Crow’s people were hiding.
He knew that the Black Crow must not be the only Gray Crow.
"Then did you also promise Black Crow to let his people move freely?"
Dark Tree was not ashamed of this and said confidently: "Of course!"
Jiang Che then remembered that the Dark Tree seeds would not be placed in the passage for no reason. According to its special design that required help from others to move to other places, it must have been arranged by Black Crow to take root here before. As if seeing the confusion in Jiang Che's eyes, the Dark Tree continued, "These are all biological migration techniques. I provide what you want, and you put me where you want."
The dark tree is very powerful. It only needs a little life to continue to devour, reproduce and grow.
Its twisted branches stretch out in all directions like the devil's claws.
Wherever it went, all life was destroyed and the place became a wasteland.
Even the slightest breath of life can become nutrients for its crazy expansion.
Jiang Che turned on his phone and looked solemnly at the map with gray and mottled markings. The city destroyed by the dark tree was marked on it.
Those cities that were once prosperous, bustling and full of vitality have now disappeared from this map.
The locations of these cities on the map are now marked with granary symbols, which are particularly eye-catching.
The places where people once lived are now just granaries for storage. Since the food cannot be transported all at once, the map shows how much food is still stored in these places.
This information is just marked.
These cities seem to have been wiped out from the world by an invisible hand, and no longer have the hustle and bustle and breath of life of the past.
Jiang Che frowned, his heart full of doubts.
The Black Crows had disappeared everywhere. He stared at the markings and couldn't help but suspect that the Black Crows might be hiding in this destroyed city.
"Deal!" Jiang Che raised the corner of his mouth. Since others can trade, he can do it too.
Upon hearing Jiang Che's agreement, the Dark Tree immediately turned into a stream of light. It began to shrink rapidly. Its originally huge and ferocious body shrank rapidly, and its originally thick branches became as thin as silk, and its dense branches and leaves also withered rapidly.
Then, it turned into a tiny seed and pierced into Jiang Che's wrist with lightning speed and precision.
At that moment, Jiang Che only felt a slight numbness in his wrist, as if he was bitten lightly by a small insect.
The seed seemed to have begun hibernation. Jiang Che tried to sense its presence, but could not feel any breath of it at all.
However, an indescribable intuition made Jiang Che clearly understand that there was some subtle connection between himself and this seed.
Jiang Che felt that if he did not bring the seeds back within the specified time, it would be like a beast hiding in the dark, quietly using the energy of his body to take root, sprout, and relocate.
The rooting power seemed to be able to forcibly penetrate his flesh and blood, wantonly plundering his vitality and making him the nutrient for the growth of this evil seed.
Jiang Che looked solemnly at the rapidly withering passage in front of him. The passage that was originally shrouded and bound by the power of the dark forest was now undergoing astonishing changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The scenes in the passage that symbolized darkness and oppression gradually faded away, and the originally twisted and intertwined branches and vines quickly shriveled and withered, as if the source of life had been drained away.
As the constraints of the dark forest disappeared, the passage began to expand continuously.
The originally narrow and cramped space was now extending in all directions as if it was being pulled forcefully by an invisible giant hand.
The walls of the passage made crackling sounds, the space shattered, and air waves flew everywhere.
This was the first time that a channel between the two worlds was truly opened, and the barrier separating the world of evil spirits and the world of humans was finally broken.
A mysterious and powerful force surged out from the depths of the passage, carrying with it an aura of the unknown and danger.
Two completely different worlds begin to open up at this moment!
At the same time, Jiang Che sensed a figure in the passage, rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. (End of this chapter)
