Chapter 95 Zhang Chulan's First Battle
Chapter 95 Zhang Chulan's First Battle
The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley, a chaotic battlefield.
"If Heaven hadn't given birth to Zhang Chulan, the world of extraordinary beings would have remained in perpetual darkness! I've emerged from seclusion! I'm invincible!"
A golden light accompanied Zhang Chulan's voice as it emanated from the cave entrance.
next second.
When Zhang Chulan came out and saw what was going on, he was like, "What the hell is going on?"
"What is this thing? A bronze tree?"
"Where is everyone?" Zhang Chulan looked at the other side in confusion.
I was fine when I went in, but when I came out it was like I had lost my memory.
"Isn't that the foreigner? What's he doing here again?"
"Master! Where is my master? Where has my most important master gone?"
"Old Zhang, stop howling. Several big shots have been sent away by this Qinling Divine Tree, and now it's just the few of us."
The sudden sound of Wang Ye's voice from behind startled Zhang Chulan so much that he almost jumped up.
Before the two could exchange information...
next second.
Without the old Celestial Master's golden light shield.
The golden dust filled the sky like a magnificent snowfall, seeping into everyone's pores and nasal cavity.
"Cough cough... Old Zhang, quickly circulate your Qi to your nose and mouth!"
Wang Ye covered his mouth and nose, feeling his head begin to spin, his thoughts running wild and completely out of control:
"Don't overthink it! Stay calm!"
"What do you mean? What do you mean 'don't overthink'? What do you mean 'stay calm'? What are you doing?!"
Zhang Chulan said he was confused, but his body language betrayed him as he did it.
The surviving foreign mercenaries around them began to scream.
"God... Help me..."
"Hiss—"
Hundreds of colorful venomous snakes emerged from beneath the feet of a mercenary who was afraid of snakes, instantly engulfing him.
"Fire! Burn it!"
A fire-wielding individual, out of fear of losing control of the flames, found himself surrounded by an uncontrollable sea of fire that instantly engulfed him.
Everyone is facing what they fear most deep down.
"This is the power of the Qinling Divine Tree! It can materialize your thoughts!"
Wang Ye shouted, but he couldn't control himself.
"This is...concretization?"
Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, his face filled with shock.
"This is a concrete manifestation of being out of control."
Wang Ye's face was deathly pale, and he leaned against a rock, cold sweat pouring down his back.
"This tree is drawing our vital energy and reading our subconscious."
"In such a desperate situation, all a person can think about is fear and death."
"So... what it manifests as are all things that are deadly to us!"
next second.
"Old Wang! Don't overthink it! Clear your mind!"
Zhang Chulan shouted, but he couldn't control himself.
"I freaking know!" Wang Ye said, holding his breath.
The more you tell yourself "don't think about elephants," the more your mind is filled with "elephants."
A thought flashed through his mind instinctively: Oh no, what if a zombie comes along now...?
puff!
From the soil in front, a rotting hand reached out.
Immediately afterwards, a zombie dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes jumped out and pounced on Zhang Chulan!
"Go to hell! I actually did want to?!"
Zhang Chulan let out a strange cry and unleashed a thunderbolt from his palm.
But this zombie was a manifestation of the divine tree's energy, so it was not afraid of being struck by lightning. It was blasted away but got back up and even split into two!
They're practically indestructible!
Su Duo also found herself in a tough battle.
A group of people holding kitchen knives appeared in front of her... Liao Zhong?
That was a manifestation of the deep-seated fear she felt when Liao Zhong died.
"Chen Duo! Chen Duo!!"
A group of "Liao Zhong" wielded cleavers and attacked, causing Su Duo to dodge while simultaneously breaking down in fear.
"I am Su Duo, not Chen Duo! Chen Duo is dead, don't come any closer!!!"
The situation was completely out of control.
The power of the Qinling Divine Tree is recklessly toying with everyone.
Zhang Chulan swam wildly in the arena.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that there was nothing there on Feng Baobao's side.
"Sister Bao'er! Help!" Zhang Chulan could only turn to his thigh for help.
however.
Feng Baobao stood in the center of the battlefield, holding a shovel, staring blankly at her surroundings.
Strangely, no monsters attacked her.
Nothing materialized around her.
Because she... has no brains (not really), because she has no distracting thoughts.
She was afraid of nothing and wanted nothing.
The divine tree could not sense her fear, and therefore could not generate monsters.
"Zhang Chulan, are you dancing?"
Feng Baobao looked at Zhang Chulan, who was being chased and crawling all over the ground by zombies, and asked in confusion.
"Shut up! Bao'er, help me kill this thing!"
Zhang Chulan dodged the zombie's claws with a sliding tackle.
Feng Baobao walked over and slammed a shovel into the zombie's forehead.
"Bang!"
The zombie shattered, turning into a pile of withered branches and rotten leaves.
"It works! It works, Sister Bao'er!" Zhang Chulan was overjoyed.
But the next second, even more monsters surged in from all directions, and Bao'er couldn't protect so many people by herself.
"No...we'll be worn down if this continues."
Wang Ye was panting heavily; his chaotic clapper was ineffective against these concrete things.
"We have to find a way... to sever the connection between this tree and our consciousness!"
"Cut off?"
As Zhang Chulan ran, he kept looking at the enormous bronze divine tree.
He suddenly remembered what Su Wuxian had said to him in the cave:
"Your old farmer's skills can not only break down all things, but also... nurture all things."
"When you encounter a problem, don't rush to block it; try taking a bite first."
Ultimately, the power of this divine tree is also a manifestation of Qi.
Since it's Qi...
Is it possible to... restore it?
"Let's give it our all!"
Zhang Chulan suddenly stopped in his tracks, ceasing his escape.
Facing the oncoming horde of zombies, mud men, and monsters, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"Old Wang! Sister Duo'er! Sister Bao'er! Step back!"
Zhang Chulan roared.
"What are you doing? Self-destructing?" Wang Ye exclaimed in surprise, sensing that Zhang Chulan was channeling an astonishing amount of Qi.
"I'm... time to eat!"
boom!!!
A transparent, extremely pure wave of Qi erupted from Zhang Chulan's lower abdomen.
That was his newly awakened Nascent Soul.
The baby inside him opened its eyes, opened its little mouth, and took a deep breath at the outside world!
"Give it to me!"
hum...
A miracle happened.
Those originally hideous and terrifying materialized monsters, upon contact with this transparent wave, were like ice and snow meeting the sun.
Their bodies began to disintegrate and melt.
The soil turned back into soil, and the flames turned back into air.
The divine tree energy contained within transformed into streams of golden light, flowing into Zhang Chulan's body!
"Ughhhhh!!"
Zhang Chulan let out a painful roar.
Too much!
This energy was enormous! It caused him excruciating pain in his meridians!
It looked like he was about to burst from the swell!
