Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Tree Man

Ye Zhifan looked closely, the human shape shown by this tree was not comparable to the thorns outside, it was more three-dimensional, as if it could come back to life at any time, and when he got closer, he could even see the eyeballs in his eyes. said that it was nature's miraculous workmanship, and Ye Zhifan didn't believe it even if he was killed. The appearance of natural species is mostly inherited from genes, and if you want trees to grow like this, you can't do it unless you change the genetic factors at the genetic level.

Ye Zhifan didn't dare to get too close, everything seemed too weird. This is just a shape, not a god, as if it is carefully carved by a skilled craftsman. The mayfly sword floated away cautiously, touched the face, and there was no reaction, Ye Zhifan's mind moved, and the mayfly sword stabbed in hard, the silence was still silent, and the grasshopper sword pulled out to expose the trunk tissue inside.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and I didn't pay attention to it at the moment, and continued to walk inside, not every lesson tree is so abnormal, just when the surprise just now is disappearing, a humanoid tree appeared in front of me, this tree is more realistic than the previous one, not only the limbs and five senses, but also began to have an expression, Mu Ran's expression, as if in a daze. Ye Zhifan felt stunned in his heart, this made him panic more than any monster. Even if the skeletons become essence, after all, they were also human beings in their lifetime, but these trees must become essence, which is really unreasonable.

Ye Zhifan was farther away, it seemed to be an illusion or an angle problem, he saw the eyes of the trees move, was he searching for his figure? frowning slightly, Ye Zhifan stood to the side, staring at the bulging eyes, two minutes later, Ye Zhifan really saw it move towards him, although it was very slow, but it was indeed moving.

Gasped, is there really consciousness? The mayfly sword suddenly stabbed out but stopped an inch from the eyeball, and the eyeball on the tree did not move and did not react. A little further on, there was still no response. Ye Zhifan wondered if he was wrong, and saw those eyes suddenly blink.

Ye Zhifan hurriedly withdrew the mayfly sword, this guy was conscious, but it was much slower than ordinary people.

"Say aloud to me, there is a goose on the slope, and a river is at the bottom of the slope. The river is wide and wide, the fat goose, the goose wants to cross the river, the river wants to cross the goose, I don't know if the goose crosses the river, or the river crosses the goose?"

There was no response, and about two minutes later, Ye Zhifan saw that the mouth on the tree began to move, but there was no sound.

"Haven't you evolved your voice yet?" stepped back, Ye Zhifan continued to walk inside, during this time he also saw a few trees with human shapes, but none of them were more vivid than the second encounter, some were only rudiments with limbs, and others were just trees.

It was rather eerie, with no insects chirping or birdsong, only the occasional rustle of leaves, and the sound of his footsteps.

Ye Zhifan found a vacant space, rested for the time being, took out bread to deal with his stomach, and didn't dare to get too close to the tree. The crumbs fell to the ground, and a vine crawled like a snake, Ye Zhifan took a few steps back, but saw that the vine rolled up the crumbs and slowly retracted. Ye Zhifan hurriedly followed, and the vine came to a big tree, this tree had lush branches and leaves, the trunk was more than two people thick, and there were many vines hanging on the branches, like a blue-green snake hanging upside down, which made people's scalp numb.

The vine that rolled up the crumbs of bread stood up and climbed up the tree, and a huge face was looking at it, and it had grown its mouth, and the vine threw the crumbs into its mouth, and the mouth moved slowly and chewed, and after a while it regained its composure.

Ye Zhifan looked at this face carefully, except that it was very huge, it was not very different from that of ordinary people. The giant face noticed the presence of someone else, and the brass bell-like eyes looked at him, full of doubt, yes, doubt. Ye Zhifan could see the expression of this emotion, indicating that this tree had a stronger consciousness.

After trying to move from side to side a few times, the eyes also moved, and they stopped, staring at him.

Ye Zhifan pointed to his mouth and shouted, "Come to the left, draw a dragon with me, and draw a rainbow on your right。。。。。。 "Twisting your waist at your own leisure, it's quite hi... "In that late-night bar, whether it's true or not, please swing to your heart's content, forget about him... ”

The huge face looked at this scene from a puzzled expression to a bewildered expression, and looked at a moving creature singing and dancing, and I really couldn't understand what it meant.

Ye Zhifan stopped, "Will it be?" I feel like vomiting lately, do you have this kind of thought?"

The mouth of the giant face was wide open, but it could only make a "ahhh

The giant face's expression became angry, and the vines on the trunk began to spread in all directions. The next moment, the giant face showed a surprised expression again, because the creature that could sing and dance just now suddenly disappeared, and the giant face began to be confused again, and the vines shrank back again.

In the distance, Ye Zhifan took back the invisible gauze and saw that the vines did not catch up, so he slowed down.

The tree already had human emotions, and if it could move, it should be considered human to some extent? Fortunately, the attack power was not high, and it couldn't move, so it could only rely on vines. How many such trees are there in this forest, and how can there be such a thing.

There was a smell of burning, Ye Zhifan frowned, and this picture flashed in his mind, two tree people were holding their branches to roast the fire, and one of them said: "Big brother, it's been a little cold recently, use your branches to burn more." ”

The other said, "Pull it down, I'll burn it to the point where there is only one trunk left, and the roots will be gone." ”

The source of the burnt smell was found, the wreckage of the helicopter, which had burned to the point that only the shell remained.

Ye Zhifan went to look for it inside, there were no remains inside, even if it was burned, the remains should not be found, could it be...

There were really traces of drag around the area, and the drag was very violent, leaving behind some flesh and blood residues. Ye Zhifan held the mayfly sword, his aura was concentrated, his wrist flicked, and the three-foot long sword took shape.

The trail of drag was very long, which made him even more vigilant, who had nothing to do with two corpses, and was so violent, it was definitely not from his own side.

A huge tree is displayed in front of you, the lush branches cover the sky and stretch for more than 100 meters, and the green branches and leaves are not affected by the cold and cold in the slightest, showing strong vitality. What is a towering tree, it really wants to grow to the sky. A large face appeared on the trunk of the tree that dozens of people could hug, and there was skin on this face, very fair and delicate, like the cheeks of a woman who paid attention to maintenance.

Ye Zhifan found the two remains, which were adsorbed at the roots of the trees, many of the roots were entwined and knotted, and the remains that had been burned black showed a state of melting and distortion, in addition to these two corpses, there were other corpses, which should have been wrapped in these days, and there were many white bones.

Noticing the arrival of outsiders, the face shot a happy gaze, "Who are you?"

Ye Zhifan was a little surprised that he could speak, this tree man was really different, not only consciously, but also able to speak. He had thought that there might be a Tree Man who would develop into language, but it was really weird to be alive in front of him.

"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and wanted to go to the west to learn the scriptures, passing through your land... ”

Before Ye Zhifan finished speaking, he heard the tree man say, "Tang Sanzang is it?"

Ye Zhifan was stunned for a moment, you still know Tang Seng, you have also taken the scriptures?

"It's a very good story, along the way, the demons and monsters have not changed Tang Sanzang's heart to learn scriptures from the West, which is very admirable. The Treant smacked his lips, "Don't be surprised, this knowledge is all learned from these human brains." ”

These human beings, Ye Zhifan looked at those people at the root of the tree, it turned out that absorbing them could actually read the memory?

"They're like a book to me, some of them are wonderful, some of them are mediocre, but for me they're all hard-earned books, and I'll turn them over from time to time when I'm not doing anything, and there's a lot of unexpected fun. The big face made a smiling expression, and there were dimples on the delicate skin, and there was really a kind of evil taste in it.

"Who created you, and how long have you been here?" Ye Zhifan asked the doubt in his heart, he wanted to know the answer to this question, who could actually create something like a tree man that did not conform to the laws of nature.

"I don't know, but when I became conscious, I would live in this wood, and occasionally humans would break in, and if I died here, I would be lucky enough to find their corpses and use them as my fertilizer, so that I could grow stronger and smarter. As he spoke, the roots of the tree tightened a little, as if he was afraid that others would snatch these corpses away, "The leaves in the woods fell and grew and fell, I don't know how many times, at first I still remembered by heart, but then I couldn't remember clearly, and I didn't bother to remember." After I became conscious, at first I thought I would be happy, but after I don't know how long, I felt lonely, although all around me were my kind, I couldn't communicate with them, then I understood that I was an anomaly, once I also heard the same kind of conscious roar as me, and after roaring for a long time, I also learned to roar, I finally knew what it means to be happy, and finally found the feeling of being truly the same kind. Although we didn't understand each other's meaning, it was a good feeling to have the company of the same kind, and I thought that I could grow eyes, nose, ears, and legs. Then I can go to my fellow citizens and see him. ”

The Treant began to revel in his past, a smile indicating that the memory was precious, and then the smile became lost again, "One day, I suddenly didn't hear his roar, no matter what I said, there was no response. I don't know what happened to him, but then I got a human corpse, which took my consciousness to a new level, and I understood the meaning of a word. ”

"Death. The Treant sighed, "It's death, my companion is dead, so he can't answer my call." Trees can live for a long, long time, but they still can't escape death, and no one can do it. ”
