Mortal Cultivation

48 At The Center Of The Cave

From a distance, he saw that there seemed to be a dark shadow at the center of the cave, standing there upright. From the vague outline, Wang Wei felt that it should be a giant tree. But how could a tree grow in a dark hole? Even if a tree happened to grow there, It couldn’t be this big.

With the faint green light, Wang Wei carefully climbed to the bottom of the cave along the stone wall. While crawling down, he carefully remove the bugs laying on the stone wall. Fortunately, these bugs were just clinging to the stone wall and were not aggressive, otherwise, Wang Wei would have been embattled on all sides.

Coming to the bottom of the cave, it brought another feeling to Wang Wei. On the stone wall just now, he only felt that he was standing at the centre of the universe, and there were shining stars all around his body.

And now, standing at the bottom of the cave at this time, he couldn’t help but think of the night sky in his previous life. There were few such glowing bugs on the ground at the bottom of the cave. Hence, it was as if he was on the ground, looking up at the starry sky.

Looking at the huge black shadow in the distance, Wang Wei couldn’t help but slowly walk towards it carefully. Through the faint light, he found that, strips of root-like things were beginning to gradually appear on the ground, densely packed, from thin to thick, gathering little by little.

He couldn’t help but wonder. What was this? Could it really be the root?

Crouching down, Wang Wei studied it carefully. He discovered that this protruding thing was not a rock, but it was not like a tree root either, it was much harder than ordinary trees. Wang Wei slashed hard with the dagger a few times, and only left a few traces.

He couldn’t figure out what it was, and with doubts, he walked towards the huge black shadow in front of him. The root-like protrusions also became larger, and eventually reached a height of two or three meters. Moreover, the thickness was different, and they overlapped one another, but the overall trend was still converging towards the huge black shadow in the middle.

Wang Wei climbed to a higher place along the knotted roots to observe carefully. As it got closer, he couldn’t help but realize that he had guessed it right. It really looked like a big tree, with a huge trunk standing hundred meters high.

.....

Roots under the tree extended radially around the cave. Looking up through the huge black canopy, he couldn’t see anything. All he could see was darkness, blocking the faint blue light at the top of the cave.

Wang Wei couldn’t help but use his spiritual power to concentrate his eyes, so that he could see more clearly in this dark cave. Then slowly walked towards the direction of the trunk.

The so-called high-rise looked quite far. Although the light here was not good, he could always see it from a high place. And here was exactly the center of the cave, climbing up, he should be able to see everything around. Wang Wei thought as he walked towards the tree trunk.

When he came under the tree, Wang Wei couldn’t help being shocked again. This tree was too thick in dameter, it was actually forty or fifty meters in length. Since the texture on the trunk was very rough, Wang Wei felt that it should be easy to climb up.

He looked around again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he began to climb up the tree.

After climbing up the tree for a while, Wang Wei couldn’t help but feel as though something wasn’t quite right. Was it because his eyes was adapting to the darkness or what? How come his eyes could only see the blurred outline of the big tree before, but now they could see more and more clearly?

Wang Wei suddenly stopped and looked around. That was true, the surroundings were much brighter now, what happened? As soon as Wang Wei raised his head, he was completely shocked.

He saw a huge canopy above the head that was originally pitch-black, but at this moment, a little green light began to drift out. Green, the color of the light emitted by the glowing insects was the same, but the light was weaker.

Could it be that this kind of bug fell from the tree? The thought was just a flashing guess, but it was straightly rejected by Wang Wei. Because these green lights were falling gently like snowflakes, not in a straight line. In just a moment, he couldn’t help but find that the green light wafting from the canopy of the tree had changed from the stars to the sky.

What was this? Wang Wei was shocked, and immediately leaned his body against the gap in the bark, not daring to let the green light touch his body. The dagger was tightly held in front of his chest for defense. But the green light around him was changing more and more.

Countless green lights fell from the canopy to the ground, forming a huge pillar of light. Not long after, this huge beam of light began to slowly rotate around the tree. With the rotation, the green light in the beam of light gradually spread out to the outside of the cave.

After a while, the entire cave had turned into a green ocean, and there are faint green light spots outside, illuminating the entire cave.

As for the bugs laying on the stone wall, the green light on their bodies was even more radiant at this time, and the green light spots floating in the air were constantly sucked up by these bugs, and then assimilated into their bodies.

Wang Wei couldn’t help but be shocked. What’s the situation? Were these bugs absorbing the green light? Because Wang Wei was far away, he couldn’t see it very clearly, but he could feel that these insects were indeed absorbing the green light in the air.
