Chapter 380: Exploration
The East China Sea is vast and boundless, and there are many islands in the East China Sea, the most famous of which is located in the northeast, more than 6,000 miles away from the mainland, but has always been extremely active in the mainland Xingchen Island and its surrounding islands, as well as the southeast, not so far away from the mainland, but rarely involved in the mainland's mundane affairs, of course, it is more accustomed to use the sect Canghai Pavilion located on it to refer to this nameless fairy island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
These two overseas sects were established more than 30,000 years ago and have lasted for tens of thousands of years, and they are still so powerful that no one dares to underestimate them.
Of course, Chu Feng and Chu Zi'er's destination was naturally not Xingchen Island or Canghai Pavilion, but several islands located due east, extending from the continental shelf, and finally suddenly towering out more than seven hundred miles from the coast.
It's so far away from the mainland that ordinary fishermen don't go out to sea at all, but there are some big boats that go deep into the ocean to catch whale sharks and the like, which is why they found these islands that suddenly appeared in the East China Sea.
After finding a homestay in a small fishing village in the East China Sea and temporarily entrusting Xiaoya to the fishermen's care, Chu Feng and Chu Zi'er headed towards the island that Chu Zi'er said.
Chu Zi'er hugged Chu Feng from behind, and the two of them came to the sky over this archipelago in an extremely strange posture.
There are six islands in this archipelago, and the five smaller islands are clustered like petals on the periphery of the main island with the largest area in the center, and the Nalinggen that Chu Zi'er said is about to bloom, is on top of the central main island.
What made Chu Feng feel even more shocked was that if there really was such a flower, this island with a radius of only twenty or thirty miles would have been sucked by Nalinggen and only a piece of wasteland would remain, but at this moment, this island was still covered by dense vegetation, looking at those trees, they were all thick and incomparable, I was afraid that these trees had grown here for more than hundreds of years.
This made Chu Feng even more surprised - if these islands had just surfaced in the sea, how did these big trees grow?
This...... Is it a small world exposed in the world?
Chu Feng frowned, but he couldn't make a judgment for a while.
Chu Zi'er landed at the height and blew lightly after Chu Feng, which made Chu Feng tremble for a while, before she smiled and said, "I never thought that there would be a Naling root growing here?"
Chu Feng also nodded, if there was a Naling root growing here, then it was no wonder that no one had discovered it, who would have thought that there would be so much vegetation in the place where the Naling root grows?
As Chu Zi'er's height decreased, Chu Feng became more and more surprised, because he saw that in the center of the island, an ancient tree stood tall in the sky, and the verdant canopy almost covered the entire main island.
Originally, the woods that Chu Feng thought were just intertwined branches stretching out from this ancient tree.
The branches of this ancient tree are bent and vigorous, and the dark bark is carved with traces of the knife years, and cracks spread along the texture of the bark of this ancient tree, as if the ancient tree has died.
However, this ancient tree is still living tenaciously, its intertwined root system overlaps each other, some of which are rooted in the soil of the main island, some of which hang down into the sea, and some even cross the sea between the islands, extending for more than ten miles, spreading to the surrounding five small islands, drawing nutrients from the soil of the five affiliated islands.
Chu Feng took a deep breath, and as Chu Zi'er shuttled through the dense canopy, the sunlight suddenly became dappled and dimmed, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of earth and plants, mixed with the salty and wet smell of seawater, emanating from all parts of this ancient tree.
Chu Feng was extremely shocked, because this ancient tree was almost the only one on this island, although there were other trees, but they all grew out of the cracks in the root system of this ancient tree, the cracks in the bark, some had grown into towering trees, and some were still just a few wisps of buds, as if all the plants on this island were parasitic on this ancient tree.
Chu Feng was so shocked that he couldn't speak, how did this ancient tree take root here, and how did it grow, so that it has reached such a spectacular scene today?
Chu Zi'er seemed to sense Chu Feng's thoughts from Chu Feng's stiff body, and while carefully shuttling to avoid being bruised, she said, "After I left here, I also went here to inquire about the news about these islands, and I also found a fisherman who witnessed the rise of this island. ”
Chu Feng frowned slightly and asked, "What did he say?"
He only said that their ship happened to pass by that day, and they saw a beam of light suddenly rise into the sky, and then the sea rolled like boiling water, and the islands came to the surface of the sea-which frightened them, and they even thought that they had angered the sea god, and feared that the sea god would punish them, so they did not dare to stay long, and left the place quickly. Zi'er paused before continuing, "Other than that, they don't know anything else. ”
Chu Feng nodded, knowing that these mortals naturally had no more information.
"But he said......" Chu Zi'er said, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "When they left this place, he seemed to see the shadows of some human-like creatures under the sea, and followed the ship for some distance before leaving. ”
"Demon Clan?" Chu Feng couldn't help frowning and muttering to himself.
"Then I don't know, I don't think it had anything to do with the noises I heard. Chu Zi'er said, paused, and then asked, "What are you going to do, take it by force?"
Chu Feng smiled helplessly and said, "Let's see the situation." ”
Chu Zi'er took Chu Feng and approached the main part of the big tree while landing, and after about a stick of incense, he finally landed on the ground, and a cave that was bulging due to the twisting of the roots of the tree just enough for a person to enter with a slight bow appeared in front of everyone.
The ground in the cave is covered with leaves that have begun to decay, and it is soaked in stagnant water, and you can feel a burst of chill from time to time when you step on the ground, and sometimes there is the sound of water droplets dripping into the pool, echoing in this cave, which seems ethereal and secluded.
Under the light of the light, Chu Feng tried his best to choose a dry ground to settle on, but his clothes were still quickly wet, including the moisture condensed in the air was too thick to resist at all.
The punishment took a breath with some annoyance, Chu Zi'er squinted and laughed very narrowly, and gently moved the lotus step closer to Chu Feng for a few minutes, and then released the true qi, expelling the moisture in the nearby air, and at the same time helping Chu Feng to dry his clothes.
Chu Feng bowed slightly to Chu Zi'er and continued to move towards the depths of the tree hole.
The cave grew wider and darker the further you went, and even the roots of the trees had turned into solid rock because of their age.
The space under the big tree seemed to be huge, Chu Feng and the others had advanced for four or five miles, and still hadn't seen the Naling root, even Chu Zi'er frowned slightly, and said to herself, "When you came in last time...... I don't remember going far before I saw Naringen, how did I ...... this time?"
Of course, Chu Feng would not think that Chu Zi'er had a problem in judging the distance, not to mention Chu Zi'er's cultivation, even with Chu Zi'er's demon instinct, he should not judge the wrong distance in such a dark cave.
But now that this situation has appeared, rather than reluctantly thinking that you are Chu Zi'er misjudged the distance, Chu Feng believes that the environment here has changed.
"The sight here...... Have you seen it before?" Chu Feng and Chu Zi'er looked at each other, and Chu Feng asked in a deep voice.
Chu Zi'er frowned and thought about it carefully, then nodded very firmly and said: "I'm pretty sure these scenes are the same as the ones I have seen, so I will continue to move forward......" Saying that, Chu Zi'er looked slightly on the root of the tree, took out a silver filament, and said, "Look, this is the spider silk I left behind to recognize the way......"
Chu Fengxuan fell into silence and thought for a long time before saying, "Our sense of distance has been changed......
To change the sense of distance, the easiest way is to blind people's vision, but even if Chu Zi'er's vision at the peak of the sixth order is blinded, he can also distinguish the distance with his divine sense, and if he wants to be blinded by even his divine sense, the most appropriate way is to change the space.
It's like a ball of dough, when kneaded together, it can be a very small ball, but once it is stretched into noodles, it can spread a long distance, and the space they are in now should be the dough that has been forcibly stretched - or when Chu Zi'er entered, she happened to encounter the dough being kneaded together.
Chu Feng couldn't confirm what kind of situation it was, so Chu Feng didn't have any countermeasures. Chu Feng stood in place, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Let's go back." ”
"Good. Chu Zi'er also nodded, without any objection to Chu Feng's decision.
For the current Chu Feng, Chu Zi'er is used to trust, and she won't question anything too much.
Although she felt unwilling to miss a legendary-level Nalinggen like this, if she moved forward, she might encounter something bad, and now, the best way to do this was to retreat.
The speed at which they returned was not fast, but unexpectedly, it felt that they had only walked a few steps, and the entrance of the cave appeared in front of the two of them, which made Chu Zi'er feel surprised.
"Something is guarding that Nalinggen, it'...... There seemed to be some reluctance to let us get close to the Nalinggen. Chu Feng walked out of the cave, looked back at the cave, and frowned.
Why didn't Chu Zi'er meet it, maybe it was just Chu Zi'er's luck, it just so happened that the thing that guarded the Na Linggen was not here, so it gave Chu Zi'er the opportunity to get close to it, or was it ...... What are the other reasons.
