208: Chapter 208 What a big tree!

Are there other things in this Dungeon?

Having grown accustomed to the earthen yellow, when Xiao Niao's gaze caught this splash of green, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. Green is the symbol of nature and vitality. For someone like Xiao Niao, who lives in a city of reinforced concrete, seeing green always brings involuntary delight. Furthermore, the BOSS in this Dungeon had already been killed by them, so there was almost no danger to speak of. If he could explore further and find some unusual items, that would be truly wonderful!

Xiao Niao suppressed the slight excitement in his heart, moved his feet to the open front of the compartment, and upon looking inside, he immediately opened his mouth in surprise.

He saw that inside this compartment grew an incredibly huge tree. The deep green leaves were unbelievably lush, densely packed one after another, covering every bit of space inside the compartment. Xiao Niao's gaze couldn't even penetrate these leaves to see the trunk inside.

'Holy crap!'

Even as refined an intellectual as Xiao Niao was stunned on the spot the moment he saw this big tree. After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Because this tree was simply too big!

According to Xiao Niao's observations, every protruding compartment along the edge of the Dungeon wall was the same size. He had observed it when he entered the compartment to change his pants earlier; a compartment was about ten square meters, and squeezing in more than a dozen Hu Gualings would be no problem at all.

But now, the compartment in front of him was packed full by this big tree.

In other words, the cross-section of this big tree was as thick as more than a dozen Hu Gualings squeezed together!

Moreover, looking at the countless densely packed deep green leaves of this tree, it was clearly not a dead tree. On the contrary, its vitality was to an unbelievable degree!

In such a desolate scene with no vitality to speak of, how could such a vibrant big tree be hidden here?

Xiao Niao felt that something was wrong.

A flash of the deep green parts on the Mutated White Wild Boar suddenly crossed his mind. How similar were they to the color of the leaves on the tree in front of him? And what was the full name of that Mutated White Wild Boar again? 'Vibrant Mutant White Boar'?

In a split second, a bad premonition suddenly arose in Xiao Niao's heart. Before he could think more, the yellow earth under his feet scattered into sand without warning. Xiao Niao's feet went soft, he couldn't steady himself, and he stumbled. In his terrified eyes, he saw an Earth Spike forming from the sand, rising from the ground and stabbing ruthlessly toward him.

Xiao Niao was so scared by this sudden turn of events that he nearly lost his soul. He wanted to use his talent for running away, but having just lost his footing, he couldn't avoid being ruthlessly stabbed by this Earth Spike. -71! A critical hit damage appeared on his health bar, and his total health of barely 100 dropped by more than half in an instant. The threat of death spurred Xiao Niao to unleash his potential. Rolling and crawling, he ran a dozen zhang before collapsing powerlessly on the ground, gasping for air. He focused his attention on the 'Recovery Spell' icon in his action bar, which he had just learned but hadn't had a chance to use. With a flash of green light, Xiao Niao nearly peed himself, thinking that the weird thing had chased after him. The next second, he realized it was the successful use of 'Recovery Spell', and his health points instantly recovered by 19.

Looking again, the 'Recovery Spell' icon was still in a usable state. It seemed this skill had no cooldown time. Xiao Niao was overjoyed and cast 'Recovery Spell' several times in a row. Green light flashed repeatedly, and his health points were soon fully restored.

Only then did Xiao Niao barely heave a sigh of relief. Still shaken, he turned his head to see what exactly had attacked him just now.

'Hmm? There's nothing here.' Xiao Niao frowned and looked for a while, but didn't see anything strange. The place where he had lost his footing earlier had no abnormalities either; it was still a perfectly flat, yellow earthen ground.

'Could it be that my eyes deceived me? That's impossible, I'm still in pain, damn it!'

Xiao Niao touched his chest. Fortunately, although the Earth Spike had come quickly and fiercely, it wasn't sharp enough to pierce through his chest. Otherwise, even if he had unleashed his potential again, it would have been impossible to run away. Feeling the pain in his chest that hadn't completely dissipated even though his health was fully restored, Xiao Niao was sure and certain that the terrifying scene just now was definitely not his hallucination! It was something that had actually happened!

But what on earth was it?

"Why are you lying on the ground? Did you crap your pants?"

While Xiao Niao was still in a state of shock and uncertainty, Hu Gualing's boisterous voice reached his ears.

It turned out that Hu Gualing and Tang Yao had seen the commotion on his side and rushed over with some concern. However, upon arriving, they only saw Xiao Niao, who was at full health, lying on the ground as if he had seen something terrifying, with nothing around him. That was why Hu Gualing had such a thought.

"I was wondering why you wouldn't change your pants behind that rock; turns out you wanted to find a place further away to go to the bathroom." Hu Gualing laughed heartlessly for a while, but seeing Xiao Niao lying on the ground now, a look of confusion appeared on his face again. "But why did you crap your pants again? Was it not a clean dump just now?"

Hu Gualing said, then felt something was a bit off. He rubbed his jaw and thought for a moment, "But this game doesn't seem to have a poop function, right? At least I haven't used the bathroom once in all the days I've been playing. What are you doing? ..."

Hu Gualing asked to himself, but only now did he notice that Xiao Niao's eyes looked like he wanted to kill him.

"You're the one who crapped your pants." Xiao Niao propped himself up with his hands and climbed up, muttering unhappily at Hu Gualing.

But it was precisely this heartless joke from Hu Gualing that allowed his tense heartstrings to relax a little. He clapped his hands and pointed at the big tree in the distance, saying: "See that big tree? That's where I was attacked by a spike that sprouted from the ground just now. It took away seventy points of my health in one hit. If I hadn't run fast, we would have lost another two fantasy points, hmph." Since they had already agreed that the game points consumed for Resurrection while in a party would be shared equally among the three of them, if Xiao Niao had died and resurrected just now, Hu Gualing and Tang Yao would also have had a share in the consumed fantasy points. Therefore, Xiao Niao felt a bit proud that he had saved them an expense by saving his own life.

However, Hu Gualing and Tang Yao completely ignored Xiao Niao's pride and had no spare time to praise him. All their attention had already been attracted by that big tree in the distance.

Tang Yao exclaimed: "Such a huge tree!"

Hu Gualing exclaimed: "It's fucking huge!"
