Global World Creation: I Tame Dragons in Another World - Chapter 25

Following the direction of the dragon egg, Gray deviated from his original direction and began to approach the strange place where mana was gathering.
Along the way, Gray found that this area seemed to have been affected by the morning earthquake quite a lot. There were collapsed trees and new soil that had been overturned from the ground.
The trees that had collapsed at the beginning were still of normal size. What was most strange was that the closer Gray got to the magic gathering place, the taller the fallen trees seemed to be, and the deeper the soil that emerged.
These trees, which were obviously much taller than those in other places, seemed to have been stimulated by some kind of power.
Gray stopped in front of one of the giant fallen trees to observe, and discovered another strange phenomenon.
Although the roots of these giant trees were huge, they were abnormally thin and fragile, just like a burly man with the legs of a child. They looked very out of place.
Gray looked at several other trees that had collapsed as well. In the end, regardless of the species, every one of them had the same problem.
This also answered some of Gray’s doubts. Logically speaking, the taller and more developed the roots of the giant trees, the less likely they would collapse due to an earthquake. Now, there were so many trees that had collapsed along the way. It turned out that they were a bunch of plants with uneven growth!
They were both prosperous and fragile. Such a strange contradiction actually appeared on so many trees.
As Gray watched, he gradually had a guess in his heart.
The existence of these strange trees probably had something to do with that mana gathering place.
To be able to affect such a huge area and so many trees, no matter what was at the mana gathering place, it was not that simple.
With many questions and increasing caution, Gray’s footsteps did not stop.
Finally, after a long journey, the dragon egg hinted that Gray had arrived.
Actually, without the dragon egg’s reminder, Gray already had a premonition that this was the place they were looking for.
This place was too strange.
In other words, the trees that once existed in this place were too strange.
There was a huge pit, and the pit was created because a ‘giant tree’ had fallen.
That was a real giant tree. Gray roughly estimated that the radius of this giant tree was about thirty meters, and its height was about two hundred to three hundred meters. Compared to it, the other trees in this jungle were like grains of sand.
It must be said that Gray was shocked when he first saw the giant tree.
He had only seen the roots of the tree when he was checking the trees by the roadside.
The twisted and slender roots stretched into the sky. At that time, he thought it was the branches of some tall tree. Because it was so big, Gray didn’t think much of it.
However, as he walked closer, he found that the branches of the trees had no leaves and were covered with soil. He felt that something was wrong.
Only when he got close enough did he realize that they weren’t tree branches at all. They were just the roots of a huge tree!
The main body of the huge roots was even stranger. The twisted prosperity and fragility were vividly displayed on its body.
From a distance, although the huge tree was exceptionally huge, its lush branches did not have a single leaf on them. In this forest of exceptionally lush plants, this was the first time Gray had seen a tree without leaves.
Moreover, the bark of this tree seemed to have been sucked dry of water and nutrients, appearing to be unnaturally dry. However, its root system was clearly very healthy. At least when it turned over the soil, it was very moist and full.
Prosperity and death appeared to be a strange coexistence on the big tree.
If it was not for the strange earthquake in the morning, this strange coexistence might have lasted for a long time.
There was not much time left for Gray to observe the appearance of the giant tree.
The dragon egg reminded Gray that at this time, the magic accumulation was in the giant pit that the giant tree had fallen over and formed.
Gray replied that he knew it, and then he prepared to go down.
From the last time when he hunted the lightning rat, Gray had noticed that the mana sensitivity of the dragon egg did not seem to be that sensitive to things underground.
Or it could be said that the mana sensitivity could sense the mana gathering underground, but it could not flexibly distinguish its depth.
The dragon egg clearly knew this. Although it did not say it out loud, Gray could feel it. It was still fearful from almost letting Gray get injured last time. This time, the precision of sensing the gathering of magic energy was obviously improved.
The pit caused by the fall of the giant tree was very deep. Gray slowly climbed down the edge of the pit. With the help of the broken roots around him, Gray arrived at the bottom of the tunnel safely.
At this time, the dragon egg suddenly became excited again, urging Gray to get closer to the center of the pit.
Gray did not understand why the dragon egg’s mood had changed so much. Wasn’t the dragon egg still confused by the mana accumulation?
As if seeing Gray’s reaction was half a beat slow, the dragon egg directly transmitted its feelings to him.
It was a wonderful feeling of ‘familiarity.’
It was like the lights in the house, the food in the kitchen, parents’ old clothes… Gray couldn’t describe exactly what it was like, but there was no doubt that the dragon egg felt something that caused it to have a strange feeling of ‘nostalgia.’
This was obviously incredible. After all, it was only an egg.
It had not really seen this world, so how could it miss this world?
The dragon egg kept urging him, and with many questions, Gray walked step by step to the center of the pit.
It was full of gravel and soil. Under the instructions of the dragon egg, Gray moved the debris away, and a half-buried object was revealed.
Gray was surprised to see what it looked like.
In front of Gray was an arrow shaft, a metal arrow shaft..
