I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

A researcher beside sighed, "A milestone reward for more than a hundred people is never perfect if it's not the first place; there are always some defects..."

"Captain Li, keep your voice down, don't let this thing hear you, it seems to sense human emotions."

General Li grew even angrier, "No, we must resist; appeasement is meaningless!"

"Dream Energy is contributed by the whole city, ten million people! It should at least share half with us!"

"Moreover, it has become more arrogant over these months."

"If this continues, will it truly think that it is the master of humans?"

When the Twin Ginkgo Tree was weaker at first, it had been more willing to share its energy.

It allowed Dream Ability Users to enter here, and together everyone wove this dream that was close to reality.

Now, it's like a tightwad, barely even caring about the Favored Persons anymore!

It's purely using people and then kicking them aside once done!

Everyone was indignant, discussing how to threaten it in reality.

After all, in the dream, this 300-meter tree was extremely powerful.

But in reality, it was just a tree no more than ten meters tall.

Seemingly detecting the resentment of the people, the Parasol Tree rustled and once again emitted a terrifying aura.

The temperature around plummeted suddenly.

The sunlight disappeared, and darkness fell.

The crowd was instantly suppressed, unable to move.

The shadow-casting Parasol Tree looked particularly ferocious at that moment.

A profound fear surged from within Lu Qingqing. At that moment, she perceived the Parasol Tree's intent and almost lost consciousness.

She hastily used her "Dream Sensing" ability to communicate with the Parasol Tree, "Don't... don't eat people!"

"Once you eat people, no one will tolerate you."

"What do you want to do?!" General Li roared.

The shadow of the Parasol Tree formed a giant shadow hand that reached for General Li's neck.

A fierce struggle ensued.

But soon, General Li was no match and was brutally thrown out of the dream.

"Captain Li!!"

That chilling force enveloped everyone.

Lu Qingqing kept begging, her face pale, about to cry.

After a long time, that eerie force gradually faded away.

Everyone was drenched in cold sweat, still in shock.

Lu Qingqing clenched her small fists, "Don't provoke it anymore, let it be for now. We'll talk about anything else outside."

The soldiers' faces were flushed, furious but dared not speak.

Being directly thrown out of the dream can severely damage the psyche.

Just recovering would take several months...

Yunhai City's strongest, General Li, idly delayed by several months—this loss was indeed tremendous.

Seemingly sensing their fear, the Parasol Tree appeared satisfied, rustling again before gradually calming down.

The bright sunlight appeared once again.

As if the previous scene had never happened.

"Ms. Lu Qingqing, we now need to assess its risk level..."

"Please tell us the truth, did it just have the intent to kill?" a middle-aged researcher squinted his eyes.

"Yes." Lu Qingqing's pale face tightened, "I calmed it down for a long time, otherwise, it might have eaten Captain Li."

The researcher also sighed, "Ah, it's normal for this kind of extraordinary plant to have a desire to kill."

"General Li's Level is Level Three, and he has a full 10 Points of God..."

"Had humans not continually provided Dream Energy, it might have gone on a killing spree long ago."

Another older researcher also looked grim, "With its increasing strength, it might really lose control... at that time, you might not be able to calm it down."

Lu Qingqing remained silent, not speaking.

The Ideal Energy obtained from eating humans could be a hundred thousand times more than Dream Energy!

The dreams of ten million people can't compare to eating the souls of a hundred ordinary humans!

Under these conditions, the Parasol Tree really might mutate, bringing about a huge crisis.

"Ah, it hasn't done so because it isn't strong enough yet," the researcher sighed, "After all, in reality, we still have it in our grasp..."

"I'll go write a report. If we ultimately can't control it, things could really turn… bleak."

As they discussed up to this point, they couldn't help feeling somewhat desperate.

In reality, it would indeed be easy to destroy this tree with bombs.

But just when they could finally alleviate the shortage of extraordinary resources, it all turned into nothing more than a mirage...

Home were already impoverished just got even worse.

The young faces all drooped down.

"Are you guys alright?"

After a while, General Li actually reconnected.

It was evident that his mental state was poor—his face devoid of any color, constantly covered in cold sweat.

"Nothing for now, but as for the future, it's hard to say..."

After hearing everyone's opinions, General Li felt somewhat responsible, "I was too reckless, just having leveled up and wanting to challenge it, I directly angered it..."

Li Ran comforted him, "No, it's not your fault, it may have this tendency inherently."

"It might also be that we haven't found the right way to tame it yet..."

She knew the situation wasn't good, but tried her best to boost morale.

"Let's talk more outside..."

However, just then, the Parasol Tree once again turned ferocious!

Even more formidable than before by several times!

It was simply a stress response when facing a huge crisis, directly mobilizing all its strength!

The overbearing branches and leaves writhed wildly, making a "rustling" noise.

Just like the battle intimidation of an animal, the parasol tree did its best to make itself look bigger!

The sun disappeared in an instant, and the weeds on the ground began to wither and decay as if decades had passed in the blink of an eye.

A thick darkness, like mercury, poured down from the sky, a sign that the dream was about to collapse!

Everyone was taken aback, could the parasol tree be starting to consume people so soon?!

"What's going on?"

"Let's go, let's hold hands and leave the dream together. Be aware of your surroundings and make sure no one gets left behind."

General Li was ultimately the strongest here and quickly assumed responsibility, walking at the end of the team.@@novelbin@@

If the parasol tree decided to eat someone, it would have to eat him first. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

The fog thickened, and night fell.

But halfway through, they stopped again.

"Qingqing... keep moving forward!"

Lu Qingqing, as a "Dream Sensing" ability user, had the best vision here.

Her eyes stared straight out at the fog, her whole body breaking out in goosebumps in fright.

At the edge of the dream, an unimaginably huge dark shadow blocked the view, as if something was trying to forcefully break through!

This level of power was countless times stronger than that of the Twin Ginkgo Tree!

She wasn't a complete novice, as a cold sweat broke out all over her body: "It seems like an external presence is attacking the parasol tree in the dream. We... should retreat a bit."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked, and the team quickly changed direction, trying to sneak out.

But stimulated by a formidable enemy, the Twin Ginkgo Tree immediately tightened the dream.

The edge was like a wall of air, impenetrable no matter what.

"This is bad... it seems like we can't get out!" Lu Qingqing was both angry and anxious, "The opponent has broken through."

"Can it hold up?"

The air became more and more suffocating.

An invisible confrontation created whirlwinds.

They could only silently pray that the "Twin Ginkgo Tree" could win this battle.

At least at this moment, the parasol tree had not yet revealed its ferocious fangs; it was still a reliable teammate...

But the external force released bursts of green light, invading the dream's protective layer effortlessly.

The essence of life from both sides seemed to have a great disparity.

Wave after wave of spirit storms made people dizzy.

The people trapped here were like little chicks, watching the tornado-like spirit storm grow stronger and stronger.

"No..."

Lu Qingqing couldn't help but close her eyes, a pained expression on her face.

The intense spirit storm lifted everyone from the ground, virtually tearing their bodies apart.

Suddenly—

"Crash!"

The Twin Ginkgo Tree shook violently.

Its brilliance completely faded.

It had submitted!

...

...

"Damn it, is this the place?"

For a moment, Lu Yuan thought that the opium poppy had found the wrong place.

He had controlled the opium poppy, using a lot of effort, to finally find this damned dream using the parasol leaf.

And what he found was a parasol tree resisting desperately?

This guy looked very arrogant.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Where's my sister?"

"Did you eat her?" He unceremoniously made the opium poppy emit mental fluctuations.

The power from the "Demon" made the parasol tree tremble in extreme fear, shaking vigorously.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and sunlight penetrated the fog, spreading over the land.

Lu Yuan finally saw those few "little ants" at the edge of the dream, lying on the ground in disarray.

"Damn, it seems I've made a big mistake…" Lu Yuan felt embarrassed and blamed the parasol tree, "What's wrong with you, daring to bully my sister?!"

...

People's eyes widened as they watched—a much larger, blurry tree shadow forcefully intruded into this peculiar dream!

This shadow soared into the clouds, practically a pillar reaching the heavens.

In comparison, the 300-meter "Twin Ginkgo Tree" looked like a little chick.

"The parasol tree has lost; let's take this chance to escape!" Li Ran pushed on through sheer willpower, grabbing Lu Qingqing's hand, "Qingqing, do you still have the strength? We must escape, otherwise, we'll all die here."

"Slowly retreat to the edge of the dream… It seems like they haven't noticed us."

"The main target is the parasol tree."

"Make sure your movements are gentle…"

A group of people imitated each other and slowly crawled on the ground.

The parasol tree shook vigorously again, tightening the dream once more, trapping them all.

Then, a gentle breeze blew, and the parasol tree lifted them onto its branches.
