Chapter 16 The Second Deduction

The familiar feeling came again, the ancestral hall in front of him disappeared, and a strange environment came instead.

Ji Yang, who had already had the experience of deduction, was not panicked, but just looked around and observed the environment.

This was a barren sandy land, empty and lifeless.

There was only a young sapling.

Ji Yang thought it was a pity, in fact, he wanted to go back to the place last time. If he could meet the spring and autumn cicada again, maybe he could get another kind of practice different from the lunar eclipse!

Now it seems that there is little hope.

Before Ji Yang regretted for too long, a line of subtitles slowly appeared in front of Ji Yang.

[You were born in a desert! In order to resist the scorching sun, you began to grow hard! ]

As the subtitles disappeared, time began to accelerate again.

And this time Ji Yang was no longer at a loss, but began to carefully experience the process and observe the surrounding environment.

At this moment, he felt the scorching sun above him and the invasion of the heat waves around him.

The high temperature made his roots instinctively extend underground, looking for the few moisture in the moist soil deep underground.

Maybe it was just a moment, or maybe it was a long time.

The passage of time allowed Ji Yang to gradually grow from a small sapling to a small tree as thick as a thumb.

But looking at the scorched yellow leaves, the situation did not seem very good.

When time pressed the pause button, another line of subtitles appeared.

[The temperature in the desert rises, and the evaporation rate of water becomes faster. In order to absorb more water, what do you choose? ]

[Roots grow downwards] [Roots grow around]

Ji Yang smiled knowingly when he saw this. He knows this question!

Even though it is an endless desert, the structure deep underground is no different from other places, except that there is an extra layer of sand outside the surface of the soil.

In other words, as long as the roots are inserted deep enough, there will be water!

Ji Yang decisively chose to grow the roots downwards!

He firmly believed in his choice!

When the subtitles disappeared, the world began to move again.

But before Ji Yang's smile faded, he saw the few yellow leaves on his branches gradually turn black and then slowly fall off.

At the same time, new subtitles reappeared.

[Your roots grow downwards and touch the dusty ancient ruins. Under the scorching sun, you die! ]

Ji Yang fell silent as he looked at the subtitles in front of him.

He had calculated everything, but he had not expected this.

When the desert world in front of him began to collapse, Ji Yang returned to the familiar ancestral hall.

[The deduction is over! ]

[You have learned a new ability in this deduction: root strengthening]

[You have learned a new ability in this deduction: high temperature resistance]

Root strengthening: You can use a certain amount of vitality to strengthen the roots and make them more sensitive.

High temperature resistance: You can grow in extremely high temperatures.

Sure enough, this time he died too quickly, and did not get any skills or magical powers, but two new abilities.

Ji Yang opened the panel and didn't even see the two new abilities displayed, but Ji Yang could feel the changes in his branches.

It seems that these two abilities have been integrated into his branches.

The ancestral hall is now empty, and Chen Xingzhen and the other two have already left.

Ji Yang immediately prepared to try the root strengthening ability!

Although his trunk is not thick, there are several roots growing under the ground. These roots are spread all over the ancestral hall, just like his eyes, and even more sensitive than his eyes.

However, he can't actively control these roots. Before, these roots began to slowly expand around when his vitality increased.

Ji Yang picked the longest root and then silently used the root strengthening.

As Ji Yang moved his mind, the roots underground gradually began to change.

As the roots changed, Ji Yang saw that his few vitality were rapidly decreasing.

3.4, 3.3, 3.2...

When the vitality fell all the way to 2.9, Ji Yang panicked.

He thought that strengthening the root would not take much time, but in the blink of an eye, 0.5 of his vitality had been consumed.

Fortunately, it stopped when the vitality reached 2.9.

When Ji Yang sensed the root he strengthened again, his heart moved.

Under the control of Ji Yang's consciousness, a thumb-sized root rose from the ground below.

This root was about several meters long, several times longer than Ji Yang's current torso.

When Ji Yang's mind was flowing, this root could also respond in time, like an arm.

After some experiments, Ji Yang silently retracted the strengthened root.

Although the gains from this deduction were not as good as the last time, it was not without gains. At least the ability of this root strengthening was still very useful. Now he finally had some self-protection power and would not be slaughtered by others.

I just don't know how strong this strengthened root is, whether it can fight against a blood coagulation warrior.

This point can only be known after he has seen the strength of a blood coagulation warrior.

As for the other new ability, high temperature resistance.

Well, it's better to have it than not.

In general, there are gains this time, but the gains are not big.

And the most important thing is that the gains this time can't help the Chen family get out of trouble.

Ji Yang was a little unwilling, and opened the panel to check the remaining blood and spiritual power points, wanting to try again.

[Qi and blood: 9 (can be converted into vitality)]

[Spiritual power: 0]

[Deduction points: 20]

Unfortunately, except for the deduction points, the other two are not enough, especially the spiritual power, which has returned to zero. He can only wait for the next sacrifice of the Chen family, and perhaps one time may not be enough.

Ji Yang sighed in his heart and could only give up helplessly.

When Ji Yang saw that he only had 2.9 vitality left, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Obviously, with the sacrifice of the Chen family and his own lunar eclipse technique, why did he feel that he was a little out of money?

The decline in vitality weakened Ji Yang in all aspects, and this feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at the remaining qi and blood, Ji Yang made up his mind and simply converted it directly into vitality.

During the conversion, Ji Yang found that he could control the specific amount of qi and blood converted, which meant that he could freely choose how much to convert, so as to keep the qi and blood needed for deduction.

However, this time Ji Yang did not hesitate and directly converted all 9 points of qi and blood into vitality.

As his vitality increased rapidly, Ji Yang suddenly felt a strong vitality flowing through his trunk.

This vitality quickly gathered on one side of his trunk, and a new bud began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the bud had turned into a cluster of new locust branches, standing on the trunk.

With two new branches growing green leaves, Ji Yang's trunk finally looked a little thicker.

But the overall appearance was still a little thin.

The improvement of vitality was far more than that. Underground, several roots were spreading rapidly along the bottom of the bluestone slab.

It did not stop until it spread to the entire ancestral hall and slightly exceeded a distance.

During the spread, a root went straight through the family secret passage. Ji Yang sensed the family spirit tablet in the room above the secret passage, and the family ancestor lying in the coffin.
