From a distance, Lynn saw what seemed to be a dark shadow at the center of the cave, standing there upright. From the vague outline, he felt that it should be a giant tree. But how could a tree grow in a dark hole? Even if a tree happened to grow there, It couldn't be this big, could it?

With the luminescence faint green light, he carefully climbed to the bottom of the cave along the stone wall. While crawling down, he carefully remove the bugs laying on the stone wall. Fortunately, these bugs were just clinging to the stone wall and were not aggressive, otherwise, he would have been assailed from all sides.

Coming to the bottom of the cave, it brought another feeling to him. On the stone wall just now, he only felt as if he was standing at the centre of the universe, and there were shining stars all around his body.

And now, standing at the bottom of the cave, he couldn't help but think of the night sky in his previous life. There were few such glowing bugs at the bottom of the cave, making it look as if he was on the ground, looking up at the starry sky.

Looking at the huge black shadow in the distance, he slowly walked towards it carefully. Through the faint light, he found that, strips of root-like things were beginning to gradually appear on the ground, densely packed, from thin to thick, gathering little by little.

He began to wonder if it really could be a strangely shaped rock? Crouching down, he studied it carefully. He discovered that this protruding thing was not a rock, but something like a tree root, albeit different. It was much harder than ordinary trees. He slashed hard with his dagger a few times, but only left a few scratch marks on it.

He couldn't figure out what it was, and with doubts, he walked towards the huge black shadow in front of him. The root-like protrusions also became larger, and eventually reached a height of two or three meters. Moreover, the thickness was different, and they overlapped one another, but the overall trend was still converging towards the huge black shadow in the middle.

Lynn climbed to a higher place along the knotted roots to observe carefully. As he got closer, he realized he had guessed right. It really looked like a big tree, with a huge trunk standing hundred meters high. Roots under the tree extended radially around the cave.

Looking up through the huge black canopy, he couldn't see anything. All he could see was darkness, blocking the faint green light at the top of the cave. So he used all his power to focus his eyes, so that he could see more clearly in the dark cave. Then slowly, he walked towards the direction of the trunk.

The so-called high-rise looked quite far. Although the light here was not good, he could always see it from a high place, and here was exactly the center of the cave. Climbing up, he should be able to see everything around. Lynn thought as he walked towards the tree trunk.

When he came under the tree, he was completely shocked again. This tree was too thick in diameter, and it was actually forty or fifty meters in length. Nevertheless, since the texture on the trunk was very rough, he concluded that it should be easy to climb up. He looked around again, and after confirming that there was no danger, he began to climb up the tree.

After climbing up the tree for a while, he had a feeling as though something wasn't quite right. Was it because his eyes was adapting to the darkness or what? How come that, before, his eyes could only see the blurred outline of the big tree, but now he could it see more and more clearly?

He suddenly stopped and looked around. His surroundings were much brighter now. What happened? As soon as he raised his head, he was completely shocked.

Above his head, what appeared to be originally pitch-black, was now emitting a little green light. The color of the light emitted by the glowing insects was the same, but the light was weaker.

Could it be that those bug fell from this tree? The thought was just a flashing guess, but it was straight discarded. These green lights were falling gently like snowflakes, not in a straight line. A few seconds later, he found that the green light wafting from the canopy of the tree had changed in intensity.

What was happening? Lynn was shocked, and immediately leaned his body against the gap in the bark, not daring to let the green light touch his body. The dagger was tightly held in front of his chest for defense. But the green light around him was getting more and more brighter.

Countless green lights fell from the canopy to the ground, forming a huge pillar of light. Not long after, this huge beam of light began to slowly rotate around the tree. With the rotation, the green fluorescence in the beam of light gradually spread out to the outside of the cave.

After a while, the entire cave had turned into a green ocean, and there were faint green light spots coming from the outside, illuminating the entire cave.

As for the bugs on the stone wall, the green light from their bodies was even more radiant at this time. The green light spots floating in the air were constantly sucked up by these bugs, and then assimilated into their bodies.

Lynn was even more shocked at this moment. What was going on here? Were these bugs absorbing the green light? Because he was far away, he couldn't see it very clearly, but he could sense that these insects were indeed absorbing the green light floating in the air.

Suddenly, he realized that there were some glowing bugs in his storage bag. So he decided to get the bugs out right away.

Out of the storage bag, the green light on their bodies flashed instantly, and their brightness was even greater than before. The nearby green light was attracted by the light orbs inside these insects, and suddenly floated over, and disappeared into these insects in a blink of an eye. And after these insects absorbed the green light, the light in their bodies became brighter.

Holy cow? Lynn couldn't believe it. The insects were really absorbing these orbs of light. Could the green orbs of light be food for these worms? He pondered for a moment, and couldn't help thinking this way. Since these insects could absorb this light without any bad effect, it shouldn't be harmful to his own body too, could it?

With his thought collected, he immediately stretched out the dagger in his hand and caught a small spot of light with the tip of the knife.

He carefully stretched out his finger, and when his finger approached the light spot on the dagger, the light spot flickered, and it immediately disappeared into his finger. Apart from the initial fright, he felt that the essence in his body seemed to resonate slightly. With the disappearance of the light spot, a trace of ether flowed into his body along the palm of his hand.

Lynn took a closer look and found that his body did not developed any strange appearance, but the essence resonance inside his body must be as a result of the orbs of light. So, he picked up two more light orbs in his hand, and sure enough, he felt a trace ether melting into his body.
