Chapter 179: Ginseng
Shen Luo’s eyes narrowed as he closely examined the unusual tree.
The tree was entirely crimson in color and its surface was covered in convoluted patterns, While there were three to four branches at the top, not a single leaf could be found. Even from a distance of several feet away, one could sense a heatwave emanating from the tree.
As Shen Luo approached it further, he distinctly felt a searing wave of heat coalesce into a solid wall. This wall of heat prevented anyone from getting too close.
Shen Luo frowned, intrigued by the phenomenon. He formed a blue water wave by manipulating the surrounding water vapor with a wave of his hands. The water wave, like a water python, began to coil around the wall of heat.
As the water wave made contact with the heat wall, a “hissing” sound was heard, and a flurry of white steam began to rise from within. The surrounding temperature also started to fall.
Seeing this, Shen Luo performed the Water Repelling Technique, covering his body with a layer of turquoise radiance. With one stride, he stepped into the heat wall. The scorching heatwaves immediately swept over him, causing the blue radiance on him to tremble slightly.
... However, after a brief moment of perception, he found that while the heat was intense, it was not enough to harm him. His mind at ease, he steadily approached the mysterious tree.
The closer he got to the tree, the stronger he felt a dense concentration of spiritual energy emanating from the tree.
“This appears to be an uncommon Spirit Tree, but I wonder what power lies within it?” Shen Luo speculated silently.
