Chapter 118 Green vines, boundless fear!

The night is getting darker.

Qi Sui, who had adjusted his energy and spirit to its peak state, summoned the statue of the goddess.

Strange waves arose in the dormitory.

Seven seconds later!
Qi Sui once again stepped on the soft and fertile soil, and rich spiritual energy came to his face, like a sweet breeze, making every cell in his body groan in comfort.

Compared to the desolate island when he first entered the secret realm, the island had changed drastically after he triggered the [Spirit of Plants and Trees] profession.

Five large trees with lush branches and leaves are planted on the northernmost side. They are more than tens of meters tall and look like old trees that have grown for more than a hundred years. They are full of bright red apples.

Those light purple veins on the apples' skin indicate they are of exceptional quality.

Going further in, there are radish gardens, rice gardens, orange gardens, Lingyi white lotus gardens, cabbage gardens, etc., with a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, all of which are managed in an orderly manner by him.

Moreover, their quality and size are far superior to those ordinary spiritual plants in the outside world.

"It's so comfortable to look at all these delicious foods. At least I don't have to worry about starving to death someday!"

The sight of the abundant harvest made Qi Sui squint his eyes unconsciously.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you will not be worried.

Even if a god really returns one day and humans cannot resist him, the worst that can happen is that he can just take some important relatives back to the secret realm and live happily.

It took a full half hour.

Qi Sui completed a harvesting task and then started planting again.

A large amount of experience appears on the career panel.

"Professional [Spirit of Plants and Trees] Experience Points +368"

"Professional Advanced Skill [Spiritual Plant] Experience Value +289"

"Professional Basic Skills [Cultivation] Experience Value +276"

A dazzling light flashed.

The panel gives a prompt.

"【Cultivation】Advances to 【Spiritual Cultivation】"

Spiritual Cultivation: As the spirit of plants and trees, the chances of spiritualization or advanced mutation of plant crops when you grow them are greatly increased.

"It's ok!"

Qi Sui nodded in approval of this skill.

After all, it was just an auxiliary professional skill, so he couldn't ask for too much.

The probability of triggering the previous basic skill [Cultivation] was too low. Although he had been planting it for almost half a year, it had only been triggered once, which was with the Flame Frost Fruit.

I hope that after his skills are advanced, he can get more surprises.

Afterwards, in order to avoid occupying the farming space on the isolated island, Qi Sui moved all the harvested crops to a martial arts field floating on the sea not far away.

As a tool for gaining experience in the early days, it has been idle for a long time since he cultivated his internal strength. The wanted criminals who were previously detained in it were all knocked out by him and sent to the National Security Bureau. Now it is used more as a storage warehouse.

Looking at the almost full space, Qi Sui felt a headache again and covered his forehead with his hands.

There is no need to worry about spoilage in the secret realm, and it can be stored for a long time, but you still need to find a sales channel as soon as possible.

He also hoped to use these spiritual objects to trade for extraordinary things in order to trigger more powerful hidden professions.

All preparations are completed.

Qi Sui stretched his muscles while walking towards the towering vine that was emitting a bright green light.

The vines are quietly rooted here, as if unmoved by the passage of time, standing for tens of millions of epochs.

This time, Qi Sui was fully prepared.

He first put on professional anti-slip climbing gloves, and then tied a special anti-fall protection rope around his waist. This rope will promptly hold the user in place when he falls at an angle due to exhaustion. Finally, he installed a height tester on his wrist.

Looking up at the gray and foggy space, the end where the vines disappear.

Suddenly there was a loud shout.

The leg muscles contract rapidly, and the power bursts out in an instant.

Two deep pits were stepped on under his feet. He climbed to a height of more than 100 meters in the blink of an eye like a nimble monkey. Then he used his hands and feet to continue climbing up at an extremely fast speed.

"Hu, hu, hu!"

Qi Sui didn't try too hard. He kept adjusting the rhythm of his body muscles and breathing to reduce consumption as much as possible.

His goal today is to get to the end of the vine.

A few minutes later, he easily reached an altitude of 20,000 meters.

This is where it failed last time.

at this time.

Looking up, there was still no sign of the vines ending; looking down, the sea water including the isolated island below had been swallowed up by the gray mist.

I was alone between heaven and earth, surrounded only by grey mist, as if I had been abandoned by everything.

"And then on!"

Qi Sui calmed his mind and his eyes became sharp.

He exerted force on his body muscles again and continued to explore the unknown area.

Time passes little by little.

The higher you go, the more terrifying the gravity in the space becomes, and the thicker the gray fog becomes.

The altimeter shows "50000"

The extremely oppressive gravity is like being in a gravity chamber with 10 times the gravity. The gray fog blinds your eyes, making it almost pitch dark.

"Keep rushing!"

Qi Sui took a deep breath.

Magnificent light and shadow belonging to internal energy emerged from beneath the skin.

The slightly exhausted body, like a rocket whose fuel was about to run out, activated the backup energy source, instantly exerted full power, and directly tore through the fog and pressure, shooting upward like a sharp arrow.

60000 meters,
70000 meters,
80000 meters,
90000 meter

……

The altitude is still rising.

However, the terrifying gravity was like an overturned ocean, trying to knock this man who dared to challenge the power of heaven back to the mortal world again.

Beads of sweat slid down the torn and red skin.

As if he had just been fished out of the water, Qi Sui's eyes were glaring, he was breathing heavily, dark veins bulged out from beneath his muscles, and his heart was beating as if it was about to explode.

"Damn, it should be 20 times stronger than a gravity room!"

He gritted his teeth and had to admit that he had underestimated the vine.

Who would dare to believe that the vines are nearly 100,000 meters long?

"Hold on for another 1000 meters, and climb to 10 meters. If that doesn't work, retreat and come back when you're stronger!"

Qi Sui made a decision.

His muscles were already tired, but he dared to challenge the last 1000 meters because he carried a special-grade fall-proof safety rope.

From this moment on, every 100 meters of climbing will be an extremely difficult challenge.

99800
99900
99920
……

100000!

The altimeter could no longer withstand the horrific pressure.

Just after the announcement of "one hundred thousand meters", it exploded with a loud bang.

Qi Sui resisted the pressure and looked up with all his strength, but a disappointing situation occurred.

In the gray world, the bright green light extends to the end of the sight.

Sure enough, one hundred thousand meters is far from the end of this vine.

"withdraw!"

Qi Sui no longer forced it.

His mental strength was also on the verge of exhaustion.

However, just as he was about to fall, a faint bright light suddenly attracted his attention.

That is……

Deep in the gray air flow, he saw a mirror-like fragment emitting silver light, floating towards him in a disorderly trajectory.

After a few seconds.

This fragment of silver light floated past him.

Qi Sui stretched out his hand to grab it, but failed to reach it. The scene reflected in the fragments made the expression on his face freeze.

……

A towering city tower stands in the wilderness.

The bluestone brick walls were covered with dark red traces of dried blood, and the scars from knife blades and swords in the wind and sand told of the long years.

The drums of war rumbled, deafening the ears. War horses neighed, and swords clashed!
The black masses of armored soldiers guarding in front of the city wall collided with the tall barbarians rushing in from the depths of the wilderness like a tide, turning into a storm of blood and flesh.

Swords flashing and sabers flying, and broken limbs and arms.

In just a moment, large groups of soldiers fell down, and then large groups of soldiers came forward one after another, their eyes wide open and they let out unyielding battle roars.

Blood mixed with minced meat dyed the ground red.

However, even though the fighting was so brutal, the situation was still one-sided.

Because their opponents are too strong.

Those burly barbarians, who were generally over two meters tall, simply wore some animal leather and held weapons made of unknown animal bones, and they could start a massacre among a group of soldiers.

They are extremely powerful and fearless, with strange red lines flashing on their cheeks, making them look even more ferocious.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

A bestial roar gurgled in the barbarian's throat.

When they were hungry, they tore flesh from the corpses and stuffed it into their mouths. When they were thirsty, they simply grabbed a living soldier and bit his neck to drink his blood.

Fight and make them crazy!

Soon, the battle came to an end.

About 1000 heavily armored soldiers were slaughtered by about barbarians in less than half an hour.

On the city floor.

A tall figure bathed in the golden sunset.

She stared at the defeated battlefield with a look of sadness on her face, her waist-length black hair dancing in the biting cold wind.

Yellow sand blew across the sky, erasing all traces of the city walls, the girls, and the soldiers.

The world returned to desolation.

……

"What the hell is this?"

Qi Sui was shocked and broke free from some mysterious magnetic field force.

The scenes I just saw were like a movie playing in front of my eyes, and they were as real as if I was there.

His mind was in a mess and he wanted to reach out and grasp the glowing fragment again.

But endless cracks appeared on the surface of the fragments.

Finally, with a "pop" sound, it completely shattered into brilliant light spots all over the sky, and then merged into the green vine.

Qi Sui's outstretched hand froze in the air. The scene before his eyes was far beyond his imagination.

He calmed down and looked around, trying to see if he could find this strange fragment shining with silver light again.

Time passes slowly.

Qi Sui remained patient enough that he didn't even know how much time had passed before another mysterious fragment shining with light floated out from the fog.

Qi Sui reached out to grab it while trying to peek at the scene reflected in the fragments.

……

It was a small room dimly lit by candlelight.

A burly man, as big as a bear, was leaning over the table, reading a book carefully by candlelight.

The cold wind blew and the candlelight flickered.

It made his stern profile look even more resolute.

"This is……"

Qi Sui's eyes widened as if he had seen something incredible.

Because he was too shocked, his hands unconsciously released the force, and his body fell downwards, but was then firmly caught by the safety rope.

The man in the picture seemed to realize something and turned his head to look into the void behind him.

That extremely familiar face appeared completely in front of Qi Sui.

Deep black eyes and sword-like eyebrows.

Isn't this the same look he has when he looks in the mirror every day?

The only difference is probably the beard on his chin and his brows, which are less youthful and vigorous and more vicissitudes and tired.

The picture only stayed on for a dozen seconds before breaking again.

It also transformed into brilliant light all over the sky and gathered into the vines.

Before Qi Sui could come to his senses, another piece of light and shadow fragment floated over.

This time the position was just right, floating right in front.

He instinctively reached out to touch it, and his fingertips touched the fragmented light curtain. It was like ripples on a lake, and then an irresistible suction force came, swallowing him whole.

……

After a strong feeling of dizziness.

Qi Sui felt like he was stepping on hard ground.

He directly entered the [Concentration] state, quickly eliminated the dizziness, and looked around with a vigilant eye.

High-rise buildings, concrete floors, speeding cars, and hurried pedestrians...

Everything is normal.

A similar environment could occur in any small town in Xia Country.

Qi Sui turned his attention to the flashing prompts on the career panel.

"Entering a special state, mental power is continuously draining away at 1 points/min. When mental power is less than 20 points, you will be forcibly teleported away."

"Triggering the hidden career awakening condition, the fourth dimension - the spiritual attribute is insufficient, unable to awaken!"

Special status?
Hidden profession?

Qi Sui frowned and glanced at the panel.

【Spirit: 53】

[Mental power: 98/530]

After climbing the vines before, his mental strength was almost exhausted. He could only stay here for a little more than an hour.

What interested him most was the hidden profession in the prompts.

"Does it require the spiritual attributes to meet the requirements? Is it because this profession is more spiritual?"

"This is the first time I've encountered such a situation. Hidden professions are probably not simple!"

Qi Sui was a little excited.

Just like the Berserker Tyrant, he absorbed the energy essence of an entire spine of the God of Flesh and Blood.

The strength of a profession is linked to the difficulty of obtaining it.

Thinking of this, he immediately added the eight attribute points gained from upgrading Berserker Tyrant twice and [Chemical Researcher] to "Spirit".

【Spirit: 61】

[Mental power: 178/610]

The improvement of 8 points in four-dimensional attributes made Qi Sui's spiritual perception seem to have entered a whole new realm.

The world is like a mirror covered with dirt, which is gradually being wiped clean.

He could even vaguely sense the various rich elements such as C, H, O, N, etc. floating in the air, and glimpse their movement trajectories.

This feeling is like peeking into the essence of the world bit by bit.

Just when he was about to experience the power brought by the "61" points of spirit, a hurried voice came from the alley next to him.

"Hey, big stupid bear, what are you doing standing there? Do you want to die?"

At the same time, a thin figure jumped out of the darkness, grabbed his arm, and tried to forcibly drag him into the alley.

Qi Sui had already noticed her presence. She was just a frail, ordinary girl, so he simply followed her wishes and walked into the alley with her.

"Beauty, how does my standing there bother you? Why do you want to curse me to death?" Qi Sui asked curiously.

The thin girl with short red hair looked up. Her face was covered with dirt and her features could not be seen clearly. She pointed to the sky in annoyance and said, "You idiot, are you stupid? You are so lucky to be alive today!"

"Ok?"

Qi Sui looked puzzled and looked up at the sky in the direction the girl pointed.

Just one glance made his expression freeze, his body stiffened and he stood there, his hands and feet shaking uncontrollably.

All I saw was the starry night.

There is an unimaginably huge human-shaped shadow quietly floating above the city.

It exudes brilliant white light all over its body, its face is an unreal nothingness, it is clad in gorgeous silver armor, and behind it are eight white wings that cover the sky and the sun. Its palms are facing downwards, holding a huge holy sword that seems to be able to wipe out all the filth in the world.

Fear like a tide spread in his heart, threatening to drown Qi Sui.
