Chapter 135: Comprehend the rhythm of the tree
These dwarven contestants who participated were very polite and cooperative with each other, and climbed up one after another, faster than me.
I didn't have time to think about it, so I jumped up to the tree, clasping my hands tightly on the mottled lines of the bark.
At first, I could still rely on my true qi to climb, but I didn't climb out for five or six meters, and the power in my body was like a dam bursting, and it surged towards the Wind Demon Ancient Tree, and my palm was soft, and with the slippery resin flowing on the surface of the tree, I almost fell.
What a strange ancient tree, such a difficult challenge.
I took a deep breath, blistered together, and relied on the strength of my muscles to climb upwards with difficulty.
For cultivators, the most terrifying thing is the loss of the true qi in the body, many actions that seemed simple before, but at this moment, I gritted my teeth and almost climbed upwards at a turtle speed.
The only thing that can be relied on on is the uneven lines, but these lines are irregular, and every time you move, you have to consider how to travel on the road five or six meters ahead, which tests a person's overall situation and judgment.
As Shui Nian said before, these dwarves have a much greater advantage in climbing trees than me, their palms are thick, their stature is short, and they are as agile as monkeys, and at this time, their short weakness becomes their strength.
I know in my heart that nothing in the world is static, for example, a person's beauty and ugliness, in the world I am a handsome man, but in the eyes of the dwarves I am an ugly monster, they are short in stature, they suffer from the enemy, but when they climb trees, they have an advantage.
Looking at any problem, we must use a dialectical method to see his two-facedness, just like the current war between the Decent Alliance and the Dark Temple, on the surface, it seems that the Dark Temple has an absolute advantage, but who knows when a small opportunity will appear, which will allow the Decent Alliance to seize the opportunity and completely turn the tide of the war.
"I said Ye Fan, you are already very ugly, don't be ugly, you see that your speed is slower than a turtle, what chance do you have to win, it's better to give up quickly, I'll help you!" Guo Xiaosi quickly climbed up beside me with a smile, and stepped on my face coldly, almost kicking me down.
This action caused a lot of laughter from the onlookers below, who despised and ridiculed me in the language of the dwarves.
I turned a blind eye and immersed myself in my mind, with only a goal ahead of me.
After a while, I was getting farther and farther away from the contestants above, Hu Sanjo was worthy of being the first warrior, and his muscle strength was also exceptionally strong, and he had a unique advantage in climbing trees, with three whips on his waist.
Although his True Qi could not be used, the three whips were still very useful, wrapped around the surface of the tree, and were the best tools for climbing.
I was a little anxious, and I moved faster to catch up, and after half an hour, the gap did not narrow, but widened little by little.
I turned my head to look at the onlookers below, their shadows were getting smaller and smaller, and my father sat on a large blade, quietly smashing the bag under his eyes, and looked at me intently, as if he had a deep expectation in his heart.
I frowned, and suddenly it occurred to me that since my father dared to challenge me in this way, he just felt that I had a chance to win.
Previously, Guo Xiaosi also said that the height of the Wind Demon Ancient Tree cannot be measured with the naked eye, but needs to be perceived with the heart.
I looked up at the Xuanyuan Sword above, straight to the top of the canopy, standing quietly, I had climbed more than a hundred meters, but the distance between me and it didn't seem to be close at all.
I continued to climb without hurry, and after about two hours, I advanced three hundred meters upward, my body was completely soaked, flowing with fine sweat, and the distance between me and Hu Santiao and others had been stretched to more than two hundred meters, according to the height of observation on the ground, they and Xuanyuan Sword were already close at hand.
But I found that the distance between me and them was clearly visible, and the distance from Xuanyuan Sword never seemed to change.
Is this a visual error, or is it the tree itself with a wonderful ability that one can never touch the top of it?
My limbs, especially my fingers, were sore, and my body was almost out of strength, but I didn't give up by willpower.
After climbing for so long, the distance has not been narrowed at all, and my mood is desperate and difficult at the same time.
"Don't climb, don't climb, I'm tired, this tree is too tall, I don't want to fall to death!" Guo Xiaosi shouted dozens of meters above me, and then his body began to fall little by little.
"Ugly monster, you still want to hold on to your small appearance, if you don't have the strength for a while, you will have to fall to your death if you fall!" Guo Xiaosi scolded disdainfully as he passed by me.
I looked up and saw that there were two players in the front, who also stopped moving upward, their speed was very fast, and the physical strength consumed was also amazing, they not only had to consider their own physical strength, but also had to consider whether they would fall from here, a height of several hundred meters, without the premise of true qi protection, the consequences of falling would be extremely painful.
My brain has begun to appear in a trance, my body functions are declining rapidly, I can only hear the sound of thumping heartbeat, I have never been so tired, so tormented, the highest belief of the dwarf race, the Wind Demon Ancient Tree is really extraordinary.
I think blindly upward, is not the best way to climb to the end, since this tree can absorb people's true qi, why can't the surface feel at all, not emitted?
My fingers were firmly clasped on it, feeling the rough and uneven lines on the surface, before, my father taught me the way to breathe in the soil, so that I felt the majesty and gentleness of the earth, so that I had a deeper understanding of the properties of the earth, and even in the true qi, there was a faint yellow color.
So the Wind Demon Ancient Tree, can you also make me feel the vitality of your wood attribute and nourish all things?
Thinking of this, I made a bold decision, I took out a hand, tore and pulled off a piece of cloth from my body, and blindfolded it, since its height cannot be measured with the naked eye, then I will feel it with my heart.
I ignored how far away the people in front of me were, ignoring the scene at this moment, as if there were only me and the ancient tree beside me in heaven and earth.
I felt the veins on the surface of the tree, uneven and disorganized, and I climbed along the lines.
There was a shout from the crowd below, and Guo Xiaosi laughed and said, "Look, this ugly monster must be tired and dizzy, and he actually climbed down, haha, is he going to give up?"
Hearing this, my heart trembled violently, downward?
How is it possible, I obviously feel that I am very tired from the movement at this time, resisting the gravitational pull of the center of the earth, all the way up, how can it be that in their opinion, I am down?
Could it be that what I feel in my heart is different from what they see with their naked eyes?
I seem to have discovered some mystery, the curvature of my fingers touching the tree is a little lighter, but the perception of the surface texture is clearer, since it is downward, then the strength I need is not as strong as before.
Gradually, I seemed to notice that there was a liquid flowing in the tree, just like the veins and veins of a human being, flowing in an inherent direction.
Blood flows in a fixed direction in the human body, forming a circulation, so the flow of ancient tree sap must be similar.
If I can find a direction and keep moving forward, I don't need to look with my eyes, and I will definitely reach the end.
I was a little excited, but I wasn't impetuous, my exhausted physical strength had not been restored, and my movements were still very slow.
It was a test of willpower and potential, I don't know how long I climbed, I felt that one after another people passed by me, it should be those dwarven players who had surpassed me before, and my physical strength was almost on the verge of collapse, and in the end, I had to stop moving forward and hold the tree tightly.
At this point, I want to let go of my hand and rest for a while, or, turn into a lump of mud and stick tightly to the surface of the tree.
Thinking about it, my breath came to a halt for a moment, a breeze swept by, and I seemed to hear a slight wheezing sound in my ears, to be precise, a creature exchanging energy with nature, is this the breath of a tree?
I pressed my face against the surface of the tree, holding my breath and trying to control the beating of my heart, and for a moment, I felt as if the tree was breathing at some wonderful frequency.
Since it is a living being, of course it also breathes, and I can breathe with the rhythm of the earth in the soil, so why can't I be wrapped in a tree and breathe with the rhythm of the tree?
I realized that I no longer pursued speed and height, but lay there quietly, like a part of an ancient tree, listening to its sound and rhythm.
In heaven and earth, there is no self and no other, and the next second my heart starts beating again, but the rhythm of the strange shock shocks me, but the familiarity makes me kind, this is the rhythm of the beating of the Wind Demon Ancient Tree.
