2892 The devil’s egg (1)
The street in front of the blacksmith shop started to become deserted.
As the buildings in the demon Eater city were cleaned up and the buildings around the city wall were completed, the neighbors had moved away.
The nature of the blacksmith shop was special, so no one dared to touch it, and they absolutely could not touch it.
It was Tang Zhen’s shop, the residence of the two ghost kings, and the passage that connected the ancient God continent.
No matter what the reason was, the blacksmith shop had to be preserved, and it had to exist alone in the large field.
The houses along the street were also preserved and used as warehouses to store items or to make it convenient for the craftsmen to rest.
Now, only the blacksmiths stayed there. They were instructed by the blacksmiths to forge some special weapons.
The blacksmiths wanted to take the blacksmith as their master and learn the technique of forging spirit weapons, but they didn’t get the blacksmith’s approval.
In the blacksmith’s words, the blacksmiths could learn from him, but they were not qualified to be his disciples.
Be it aptitude or comprehension, they were not up to standard.
The blacksmiths were disappointed, but they weren’t discouraged. Instead, they studied the contents of the blacksmith’s teaching seriously.
Even if they couldn’t become master and disciple, being able to learn skills from a blacksmith was definitely an opportunity that they couldn’t ask for.
Liu Qing was still the same as before. He would come back at a fixed time to cook, and the rest of the time, he would defend the city and kill the enemies. It seemed that he was enjoying it.
From time to time, he would enter the illusory formation to kill the demons and cultivators of the evil Dao Alliance in search of the purple-bearded Demon King.
Up until now, she had not taken her revenge, so she had been holding in her anger.
Li cangfeng, King Jingnan, and the cultivators of the discipline Commission were busy every day.
There was only one person who was free and idle, and that was the boss of the blacksmith shop, Tang Zhen.
In the eyes of outsiders, Tang Zhen was extremely carefree every day. He had an appearance that he would not panic even if the sky collapsed.
Just this state of mind alone was enough to surpass others.
Tang Zhen pushed open the door of the smithy. After greeting The Smiths, he slowly walked to the end of the street.
The original Street had been preserved, but the buildings at the end of the street had disappeared without a trace, replaced by fields.
Now that the seedlings were green, it was a scene of spring as far as the eye could see, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
After walking for another kilometer or so, they came to the tree of disaster. A group of residents of Demon Eater city were gathering fruits.
After this period of time, the tree of disaster had grown another few hundred meters, becoming a truly towering tree.
The number of branches hanging down from the trees had increased by more than ten times, and they needed the cooperation of many people to complete the harvest.
In the beginning, some people were worried that the fruits of the tree of disaster would not be enough, but now they obediently shut their mouths.
If the fruit continued to grow at this rate, it would only take a few years for the fruit to be so abundant that they could not be finished.
When that day came, it would be the real headache.
Regardless of whether it could be eaten or not, the fruit had to be plucked, or it would bring endless disaster.
If it could not be controlled in time, the disaster would become more and more serious until it destroyed the entire world.
It was precisely because they understood how terrifying the tree of disaster was that the residents of Demon Eater city could not understand why Tang Zhen would sow such a terrifying thing.
Tang Zhen did not explain. No one would believe him even if he were to tell the truth.
This tree of disaster actually came from the divine Kingdom in Tang Zhen’s mind. It was created and condensed by Tang Zhen’s thoughts.
Under normal circumstances, this destructive plant would have to evolve countless times in the divine Kingdom of the mind before it could form.
Even if this step was completed, they would still be unable to adapt to the outside environment. Once they left the divine Kingdom in their minds, it would not take long for them to wither.
Although it was a short time, it was enough to be a terrifying disaster for any plane.
This tree of disaster was different. From the time it was sown until now, it had been growing normally and did not show any signs of withering or death.
The reason for this was that the tree of disaster could purify negative energy and provide a large amount of food.
After putting aside its own disadvantages, the tree of disaster was definitely a rare treasure that everyone wanted, and it was beneficial to all living beings in the world.
The Origin’s consciousness had a vague sense of judgment. When an item’s benefits outweighed its disadvantages, it could possibly retain it.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, Tang Zhen had never said that the tree of disaster could not be uprooted.
As long as he could abandon the benefits of the tree of disaster, he could eradicate it as soon as possible. The longer he delayed, the more difficult it would be to eradicate it.
As long as the tree of disaster was cut down and its roots were completely destroyed, the tree of disaster would die completely.
It was just a tree with extraordinary abilities, but it was not a God.
There was also another reason for the tree of disaster’s abnormal growth.
The illusory realm outside the demon Eater city had completely isolated the city from the rest of the world, creating its own world.
The demon eating city was affected as well, but the residents had no idea what had happened because their cultivation levels were too low.
Only those high-level cultivators could sense the aura of other worlds, which further confirmed the rumors.
Most of the cultivators had made the wrong analysis. They had connected this unknown aura from another world with the ancient God continent.
It made sense that the teleportation channel in the demon eating city leaked the aura of the other world.
The truth was also a secret. Perhaps only Tang Zhen knew the answer.
Under the tree of disaster, a group of residents were busy.
They cut the branches with knives, picked the fruits the size of a human head, and then cut them open with knives.
“Meatball!”
“Melon!”
“Guogua!”
“Eggface!”
The materials of the fruits were reported continuously by the residents of Demon Eater city, and then they were distributed to different cars.
After the fruits were picked, they would be sent to the market and sold to the residents of stone kiln city who needed them.
The step of splitting the fruit was very important. It could identify the material of the fruit and also prevent the breeding of a disaster.
To put it simply, all the fruits of the tree of disaster were demon eggs that were being nurtured.
If it was split open on the spot, the fruit would become food, and the breeding process would be interrupted.
However, in another day’s time, the demon’s egg would mature, and a disaster would break out at any time.
The fruit would either explode and spread the disaster, or it would continue to accumulate power and brew an even more terrifying disaster.
It might sound terrifying, but as long as they were harvested at a fixed time, disaster would never happen.
After seeing Tang Zhen on the road, the residents bowed and greeted him enthusiastically.
“Sir Tang Zhen, what are you trying to do?”
A resident asked with a smile. He used to live on this Street and had once chatted with Tang Zhen.
“It’s nothing much, I’m just going to take a stroll outside the city.”
Tang Zhen smiled as he replied. His tone was extremely casual.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Ever since the demon Eater city was besieged, Tang Zhen had never taken a step out of the street.
Now, not only did he walk out of the streets, he even wanted to leave the city. This matter was indeed very abnormal.
“Sir Tang Zhen, are you preparing to go out of the city to hunt for magical beasts?”
The resident asked, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
If that was the case, he must inform his friends and family and think of a way to leave the city with Tang Zhen.
At that time, if he followed behind Tang Zhen, he would definitely be able to obtain sufficient benefits. It was not impossible for him to become rich overnight.
Tang Zhen smiled and shook his head in the face of everyone’s enthusiastic eyes.
“I have nothing else to do, just taking a walk.”
Ignoring the disappointed faces of the residents, Tang Zhen leisurely walked toward the city gate.
