Chapter 173: Millennial Trees
The desert is lonely, the sun sets over the long river, and Wang Wei's two poems perfectly describe the scenery of the desert.
Looking at the vast surroundings composed of monotonous yellow, Liu Tianyou felt that the scenery of the desert had a different taste, unlike the little dragon girl's chatter about the desert, Liu Tianyou preferred this rugged style, but even if Liu Tianyou loved the scenery here, the first task now is to get out of here.
The desert is worthy of being described as a place of death, not to mention the fact that in this era, even in later generations, there are often dead travelers who go to the desert to explore, and then sleep in the desert for a long time.
Feeling the scorching heat from the yellow sand, several people in the group of martial arts were sweating, Liu Tianyou even ignored Mo Chou and Huang Rong's obstruction, stripped off his shirt and went into battle shirtless, even the old naughty boy took off his clothes outside, and only wore a single coat to move forward, if it wasn't for Xiaolongnu Cunzài, Liu Tianyou wanted to change his trousers into shorts.
The old naughty boy who followed Liu Tianyou wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, opened the water bladder and poured it into a mouthful, put the water bladder back on, and gasped and said to Liu Tianyou: "Brother Liu, this time the old naughty boy is about to become a dead naughty boy, I knew that I would come to this kind of place with you, and I would not come to anything." ”
"Cut! No one forced you here, you came with you, everyone here has the right to complain, but you don't. Liu Tianyou mercilessly responded to the accusations of the old naughty boy.
The old naughty boy who was choked by Liu Tianyou stopped talking, he did hear Liu Tianyou say that he was coming to the Western Regions, so he wanted to follow, according to the old naughty boy's thoughts, Ouyang Feng is not from the Western Regions, Ouyang Feng didn't hear him complain about how difficult the road was every time he came to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, and remembered that when he first met Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Feng also praised his hometown scenery for having a unique flavor, and the old naughty boy who had never been to the Western Regions heard Liu Tianyou say that he would come to the Western Regions to see, so he stuck to it like a dog skin plaster, but he forgot one thing, that is, Ouyang Feng was born in the Western Regions, and he can be said to know the situation in the desert well, and every time they cross the desert, they are fully prepared, like Liu Tianyou and their group, except for bringing some food and water, they have no other preparations, and Liu Tianyou is also crossing the desert for the first time, and he has no experience at all.
"Okay, take a break here, eat something and then go. Liu Tianyou saw that Mo Chou and Huang Rongqiao's faces were full of sweat, and the look of exhaustion was obvious, so he took out some food prepared in advance from the storage ring and distributed it to everyone.
For Liu Tianyou to take things out of the ring, the old naughty boy has seen many times and is accustomed to it, I still remember the first time Liu Tianyou took out the food, the old naughty boy thought that this was some kind of magic power of Liu Tianyou, so he wanted to kowtow to Liu Tianyou on the spot, worship Liu Tianyou as a teacher so that he can teach himself this method of taking things out of thin air, Liu Tianyou repeatedly explained for the old naughty boy, this is not a magical means, all because of this ring, and tell the old naughty boy, this ring is Liu Tianyou found in a ruins with the electromagnetic gun, the old naughty boy had seen Liu Tianyou's electromagnetic gun, and his nerves are relatively large, so he accepted the storage ring very lightly, but he was interested in the ruins that Liu Tianyou said, and he planned to go and see it after returning from the Western Regions.
In desperation, Liu Tianyou had no choice but to tell the old naughty boy about his route to Kunlun Mountain in the Tianlong World, and stated in advance that even Liu Tianyou himself could not find that ruin, so let the old naughty boy not have too much hope, but looking at the appearance of the old naughty, Liu Tianyou's words he didn't pay much attention to at all, Liu Tianyou saw that the old naughty boy didn't believe much in his words, so he let it go, anyway, Kunlun Mountain is not dangerous to the old naughty boy, and the old naughty boy is afraid that there is time left at most, so he will go if he wants to。
"Oops!" Just after Liu Tianyou announced that he would stop resting, the old urchin sat on the ground with his buttocks, but then jumped up with grinning.
The little dragon girl smiled on the side: "Old naughty boy, you are really bold enough, you dare to sit on such hot sand directly, I'm afraid you will be burned." ”
Hearing Xiaolongnu's words, after seeing the funny appearance of the old naughty boy, Mo Chou and Huang Rong also covered their mouths and chuckled.
"It's not sand, there's something down here!" the old urchin rubbed his ass and kicked where he had been sitting.
"Bang!"
There was a clear sound, and the old urchin said, "Look, my old naughty boy didn't lie to you, there is really something here." ”
Several people gathered around the position where the old urchin had just kicked him, Liu Tianyou squatted down, and he didn't care about the hot hands, and hurriedly picked up the sand, and everyone stared at his movements intently, especially Xiaolongnu, her already big eyes were round, and she looked at Liu Tianyou's movements without blinking.
The layer of yellow sand was pushed away layer by layer, and a shriveled stump appeared in front of everyone's eyes, this stump was probably very thick, but it gradually withered due to the loss of water, and shrunk to the thickness of an adult's thigh.
"Cut, it turned out to be a tree, I thought it was something good. Not seeing what she expected, the little dragon girl pouted and walked over.
"What kind of tree is this? Can you live in the desert?" Mo Chou slowly squatted down, side by side with Liu Tianyou, stretched out his hand, groped the old trunk and asked.
"I don't know, I guess it's a drought-resistant species. Liu Tianyou said on the side.
"Populus euphratica, if I'm not mistaken, this tree is Populus euphratica, I once read it in a book. Huang Rong walked to Mo Chou's side and said.
Listening to Huang Rong talk about poplar, Liu Tianyou also faintly had some impressions, this kind of tree seems to be the strongest tree species in the world, I remember that someone once praised this kind of tree, alive, three thousand years of immortality, dead, three thousand years of immortality! Thinking of this, Liu Tianyou told everyone what he knew about Populus euphratica, and Liu Tianyou once read a book called the world's best information, and now he just moved out to show off.
"The most tenacious tree?" Huang Rong also squatted down, rubbed the withered trunk with her hand, shook her head and sighed: "Life but not death, death but not fall, fall but not wither, nearly 10,000 years of life, but it is no match for this vast sea of sand, pitiful, lamentable."
