Chapter 536: Bloodworm King
James didn’t expect Klein to return so soon.
Seeing Klein’s delighted expression, James’s worried heart finally relaxed.
He knew that Klein must have thought of a way to come back and save him!
James patted the tree that Klein was carrying and frowned slightly.
“Where did you get this tree? Can this thing replace me on the high platform? Its weight doesn’t match the size, right?”
Klein patted James on the shoulder.
“Try the weight of this tree first!”
With James’ common sense, even a Hercules would find it difficult to lift a thick tree.
But the amazing thing was that he could easily lift the thick tree trunk!
A surprised expression appeared on James’ face.
“Why is this tree trunk so light? There’s actually such a tree in this world?”
Klein nodded. “Of course there is. Let me give you some information. This type of book is called Poplar, and it’s very rare and rare. There are dozens of varieties of this subject. They all live in hot and dry areas. They usually appear in a dry state in front of people, as though they have withered and died.”
In fact, it was like a cactus trying to reduce the evaporation of its own water in order to survive in a hot place.
James licked his dry lips. It seemed like Klein had found another treasure trove. He had to take a good look after he went out.
But even if he found a tree trunk that was about the same weight as a human body, its shape wouldn’t be the same.
Klein even waved his finger in front of James.
There was nothing in this world that could stop him.
Klein took out a knife from his pocket and really began to sculpt the tree trunk.
A military knife was very sharp. It was usually used for offense and defense.
To sculpt using it, it was like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken.
Seeing Klein skillfully carve the tree trunk, James widened his eyes in shock.
“Klein, you really know everything. You actually know wood carving!”
Klein sniffed first, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. He knew a thing or two..
The carving wasn’t exactly lifelike, but it was still very easy to trick the platform’s mechanisms.
As expected, not long after, a wooden carving that was about the same size as a human appeared in front of the two of them!
Klein also used a few dried tree branches as the legs and feet of the human-shaped wooden carving.
After the work was completed, Klein patted his clothes that were covered in dust.
It was a success. His body size and quality should be about the same as an ordinary adult, right?
James blinked his eyes and picked up the human-shaped wooden carving.
“It’s about 150 kilograms. It’s about the same weight as me.”
Then, he climbed up the high platform and placed the completed wooden sculpture on it.
Both of their hearts were in their throats. After spending so much effort, if the restriction on the mechanism wasn’t lifted, all their efforts would be in vain.
Klein’s gaze stopped on the tightly shut door. His eyes were wide open, and he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
The moment James set his target down, there was a loud rumble as the door actually opened.
At that moment, Klein and James’s hearts were in their throats as they finally settled down.
James clapped his hands, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
He jumped down and patted Klein on the shoulder.
“Good for you. Only you would be able to guess such a wonderful idea. The door actually opened. Let’s hurry over!”
Klein nodded and brought the space that James had previously fought in.
Seeing the world of ice and snow in front of him, James was somewhat surprised and asked what was going on.
“Why does this space look so strange?”
In James’s eyes, not only was the world completely frozen, it was also completely distorted.
In particular, the gigantic spider in front of him looked extremely terrifying.
Klein sighed lightly and briefly recounted what had happened, leaving James in awe.
Then, the two of them entered the next dimension through the hole Klein had dug previously.
At that moment, James finally saw what was called a sea of plants. That’s right, it was like a tropical botanical garden.
All flowers and trees could be found here. Klein pointed to a dense forest on the right.
“I found that tree over there. At the time, I was very surprised, but later on, I realized that you can think of all kinds of trees that can be found here!”
If James was a botanist, he would have fallen into the arms of this wonderful world.
At this moment, Klein brought him to the foot of a towering tree and explained that this tree was the legendary Xanthium.
James was even more surprised. Even if he wasn’t as knowledgeable as Klein, he had heard of some legends.
There were many different versions of the legend regarding Xanthium. The most popular version was that the tree itself had a powerful grievance.
That was why it could grow so thick without any nutrients.
James touched his nose. It was said that Xanthium was filled with treasures. Since he was here, should he bring some back?
At that moment, Klein had already begun picking the leaves on the Xanthium’s branches.
It was said that these leaves had the effect of beautifying one’s appearance after soaking in water. Not only could they stop coughing and reduce phlegm, they could also slow down aging.
Although Klein and James were two grown men, they didn’t have high requirements for looks.
However, it was desirable to be a little younger and be liked by the little girls.
After that was the bark. The bark of Xanthium could secrete a golden-yellow mucus. This mucus was one of the raw materials used to refine the Immortal Divine Medicine.
This mucus could also be called Xanthium, and it was also known as honey water.
It probably looked similar to what honey would look like after it melted.
Klein took out a small bottle and poured the honey water into it.
He placed the bottle under his nose and took a whiff. A sweet fragrance wafted through the air.
This honey water could be eaten directly, and it also had the effect of strengthening one’s body.
At this moment, James found it strange. This Xanthium was originally a strange tree from the legends. Why was the ancient tree itself a life-saving raw material?
Klein sighed and shook his head. “I don’t know about that, but there’s another legend. It’s said that this ancient spell does contain a vengeful spirit. Don’t summon it, or the consequences will be unimaginable…”
James was a little curious when Klein said that.
What kind of form was a vengeful spirit sealed by an ancient tree?
As he spoke, he walked up to the tree and patted its trunk with his right hand.
