Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 514 Conjectures of Life and Death
The foundation of the giant tree hanging in the void was at least two meters above the high platform.
In addition, there is a high platform of nearly two meters below, so the thick roots that extend into the surrounding cave walls and droop slightly to form the lowest end of the arc, more than three meters from the ground where Poplar and the others are standing.
However, this height is not a problem for Poplar and the others, the problem is that if they want to climb the trunk of the giant tree, they must first climb these roots, and then climb up the roots.
But everyone had seen how strange and terrible the root was just now, and no one would have thought that when they climbed the root, they would not be attacked by the ferocity of these roots.
Therefore, Bai Yang did not answer Sun Hao's question immediately, but turned his eyes and looked around.
This large cave is surrounded by steep cave walls, and the cave walls are also inlaid with bluestone bricks.
And those thick tree roots that are rooted in the cave wall go directly through the bluestone bricks, and completely merge with the bluestone bricks, as if the bluestone bricks originally grew on these tree roots.
Bai Yang really couldn't think of any tricks in his heart, so he could only turn his face and ask the Red Door Master: "Red Door Master, do you have any good ideas?"
The Red Gate Lord shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't think of any good way! But I'm a little strange, when we didn't come in here before, the root of the tree was already attacking us, but now that we have come to this strange tree, why hasn't this big tree moved?"
Bai Yang actually felt a little strange in his heart, but he didn't answer immediately, but thought quickly in his heart.
Sun Hao opened his mouth and asked, "What does the Red Gate Lord mean, could it be that he suspects that the terrible tree root that attacked us is not from this tree?"
"No, I think the roots must have gone out of this tree, but I think since this tree is quiet and there is no movement at all, then we must find a way to get out of here as soon as possible!
"The Red Door is good, but ...... What can we do?" Sun Hao said, naturally joining the others and setting his sights on Poplar again.
Bai Yang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said: "With the ability of the Red Gate Master, it is not difficult to fly up through the gap between the roots of this tree, and then I and Tie Niu will go up to the Red Gate Master with all our might, and the Red Gate Master should be able to climb the trunk of this big tree directly without touching these roots! But the problem is that we don't know what will happen after climbing the trunk of the big tree, and it is likely that more terrifying things will happen when climbing the trunk, so ......"
He frowned and didn't finish his words, and the Red Door Lord immediately spoke, saying, "Baiyang, you don't have to worry about me, although I am not as good as your kung fu, but I can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, so ...... I'm willing to take a risk!"
Poplar looked at Tie Niu, although Tie Niu, although he didn't like to use his brains very much, but he knew Poplar's temperament the most, and immediately said: "Lao Bai, if you are worried about the Red Gate Master, then why don't I entrust you, you can fly up between these roots first, and see what happens! With your ability, naturally you can deal with anything!"
"I think so too!" Poplar nodded, but his frowning brows did not stretch, "But what the Red Gate Master said is right, taking advantage of the fact that there is no movement in these trees now, it is the most favorable opportunity for us to escape!
When Tie Niu heard this, it made sense, so he could only scratch his scalp and look at the Red Door Master, and then turn around and look at the poplar.
"Let me go up first, I'm willing to take this risk!" the Red Gate Lord said, "If you go up first, you will have to jump down to save us, if I go up first, even if something more terrible will happen up there, I think it will not be difficult for me to jump down from the top again!"
Poplar carefully considered it, and finally felt that it was more reasonable and advantageous to let the Red Gate Lord jump up first, and was about to open his mouth to say his thoughts, Zheng Xiangtai, who had been silent, suddenly said: "We have all arrived here, the coffin on the high platform in front of us must be Yuan Tiangang's coffin, why don't we take advantage of the fact that there is no movement in this big tree and climb up to the high platform to have a look?"
As soon as he said this, Sun Hao and Li Da and Li Er did not object immediately, but glanced at each other.
Bai Yang knew that they actually wanted to see Yuan Tiangang's coffin in their hearts, after all, Yuan Tiangang's underground palace was one of the few earth palaces that attracted the inverted dou world the most for thousands of years.
And with Yuan Tiangang's legendary magical skills, in fact, even Poplar is full of curiosity about his coffin.
But at this moment, after all, it is important to save your life, so Poplar frowned and said: "The most important thing for us now is to escape from the tomb quickly, once it is delayed, when this big tree has moved, it will be difficult for you to survive!"
"But what if it's not this big tree at all, but those roots? Those roots are very powerful, except for Bai Xiaoge and Tie Xiaoge, none of us can resist it! But after all, there are Bai Xiaoge and Tie Xiaoge, Bai Xiaoge can easily cut off those roots, maybe those roots are afraid of Bai Xiaoge, so they don't dare to show their heads?"
Zheng Xiangtai's words were actually quite inflammatory, Sun Hao and Li Da Li Er looked at each other, Sun Hao asked the Red Gate Master with a smiling face: "Red Gate Master, do you think Brother Zheng's idea is reasonable?"
"I don't know if it's reasonable!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head lightly, "But what I know is that several of Master Zheng's junior brothers have not been able to get out of this underground palace!"
"Here's the problem!" Zheng Xiangtai immediately said, "We all think that my senior brothers were killed by the root monster in this underground palace, but so far, we haven't found even a single skeleton of my senior brother! Could it be that my senior brother escaped with Gongsun Xia after all, but was killed by Gongsun Xia outside the tomb?"
"That...... It seems to make some sense!" Sun Hao then spoke, "After all, we ...... It is true that no bones have been found, will it be ...... Several of Master Zheng's brothers were killed by Gongsun Xia after they really got out of the tomb?"
He looked at Poplar with two eyes, waiting for Poplar to make up his mind.
Bai Yang sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed at the coffin on the high platform, and said, "That coffin is on the high platform! If it is really as Master Zheng said, your senior brothers escaped from the tomb with Gongsun Xia, and they can leave this coffin completely unmoving? Since they didn't even move Yuan Tiangang's coffin, why did Gongsun Xia kill all your senior brothers after he escaped?"
"It's not necessarily that this coffin hasn't been touched by my senior brothers, right?" Zheng Xiangtai opened his mouth to defend, "After all, we are standing here and can't see the true situation of the coffin, maybe the coffin has been opened, but when my senior brothers left, the coffin lid was properly closed?"
Baiyang really didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he could only turn his face to look at the Red Gate Master.
Before the Red Gate Master could speak, Sun Hao said with a smile on his face: "Otherwise, Little Brother Bai, you and Little Brother Tie will first throw the Red Gate Master on the trunk of this big tree to see if anything strange will happen, if there is, then it is important for us to naturally escape, if not, how about we go up to the high platform to investigate Yuan Tiangang's coffin?"
Poplar was silent, just looking at the Red Door Lord.
The Red Door Lord smiled slightly, and said: "I think what Master Sun said is also true, after all, we have already come in, and we have seen this coffin with our own eyes, which is likely to be Yuan Tiangang's coffin, if you don't investigate, even the two of you may be unwilling, right?"
She did say this to the heart of Poplar.
Poplar had nothing to say for a while, so he could only turn his head to look at the iron bull.
Tie Niu immediately said: "You don't have to look at me, I will listen to you!"
Li Da struck while the iron was hot, and also said with a smile: "Why don't you ...... Let's try what Brother Sun said?"
Bai Yang thought about it again, and finally made up his mind and nodded: "Okay, let's do it! But if you want to survive, if something unusual happens later, you must strictly follow my instructions!"
"This is no problem!" Sun Hao and Li Da said in unison.
After that, Li Da paused, and Sun Hao smiled and said: "Don't worry, little brother Bai, we all have to rely on little brother Bai to save our lives, naturally only Little Brother Bai's orders are obeyed!"
Bai Yang nodded at this time, and said to the Red Gate Master: "Red Gate Master, you can see which direction it is more appropriate to jump up, and then I and Tie Niu will support you!"
The Lord of the Red Gate nodded, raised his head and looked upwards carefully, and quickly stretched out his hand to the upper right, and said, "You see that there is a large gap between the two roots, so you two will throw me up from there, as close to the base of the tree as possible, so that I can climb the trunk more easily!"
The base of the tree was extremely large, and the roots immediately adjacent to the base were relatively dense.
In other words, it was necessary to be far away from the base of the tree to be able to throw the Red Gate Master through the gap between the roots without touching the large roots that stretched out in the air.
However, if it is too far away from the base of the tree, even if the Poplar Iron Ox throws the Red Gate Lord into the air, the Red Gate Lord has no way to borrow his strength in mid-air, and no matter how high the light skill is, it will be difficult to fly in the air and climb to the top of the tree trunk.
Therefore, the Poplar Iron Ox could only move slowly with its face up, as close as possible to the underside of the extremely huge tree roots.
It wasn't until the gap between the two roots was so narrow that it could barely allow the human body to pass through that the Red Gate Master shouted "Stop".
Poplar Iron Bull immediately stood on his heels, each stretching out his hands and clasping them together.
The Red Gate Lord took a breath, suddenly flew up, and gently kicked his feet towards the hands of the Poplar Iron Bull, and the Poplar Iron Bull threw up at the same time.
The slender body of the Red Gate Lord immediately flew up into the air.
