Volume 6 Ancient Doubts Chapter 517 The Ancient Tree Has a Spirit
It turned out that when Bai Yang saw Sun Hao slashing several times, he actually angered a tree root.
The tree root not only threw Sun Hao into the air, but then whipped Sun Hao hard, and pulled Sun Hao to fall to death quickly.
It suddenly occurred to Bai Yang that if there was no other monster behind this giant tree, then the giant tree itself would really be like the legendary tree demon, with an autonomous consciousness and even emotions similar to that of a human being.
And the reason why this giant tree exists is to protect the tomb and the black jade coffin on this high platform, if he destroys this coffin, what kind of results will it cause?
He had the idea of giving it a try, so he used the hilt of his sword to knock the coffin lid, but he didn't expect it to be so effective, those tree roots were really attracted by him and left Li Da Li Er and Tie Niu, and they all gathered on top of his head.
Poplar's confidence increased greatly, and while the iron bull also jumped on the high platform, he still talked to the big tree about the conditions with the idea of trying it.
Talking to the big tree about the conditions, I was afraid that I would be laughed out of my big teeth when I said it, but at this moment, Li Da Li Er, who fell from the air, staggered together, not only did not feel the slightest funny, but looked at the poplar standing tall on the coffin on the high platform, and the dozen or so tree roots that shrouded the top of the poplar's head as if they were about to tear the poplar to pieces at any time, hoping that these roots were really spiritual, able to understand the poplar's words, and agreed to the poplar's conditions.
They looked up and saw that the trees were already pressed on top of the poplars and the iron ox, but after the poplars finished speaking, the roots of the trees suddenly rose upwards and circled in mid-air for a minute or two, as if they were considering the poplar's proposal.
And immediately after, a miracle happened in front of the eyes of several people.
The roots stretched out in all directions, pinpointing into the deep holes they had left in the bricks of the cave walls by breaking out of the walls.
There were only two tree roots left, which slowly circled and sank until they reached Li Da and Li Er's side.
Frightened, Li Da and Li Er retreated at the same time, and Li Da screamed loudly: "Little Brother Bai, this and this...... What does that mean?"
"You stand still, they shouldn't hurt you!" Bai Yang said, jumping off the black jade coffin and shouting again, "I said that as long as the four of us can survive, we will not touch this coffin, we will do what we say!"
Looking at the two tree roots again, with a slight flicker, they had already wrapped up Li Da and Li Er respectively, and flew up in the air.
Li Da Li Er was so frightened that he screamed, and Bai Yang suddenly understood what these two tree roots were going to do, and hurriedly shouted: "Li Da Li Er, don't struggle, they are going to send you to the big tree trunk!"
Li Da and Li Er suddenly retracted, barely holding back and not moving, nor shouting.
I saw that the two tree roots really flew up with Li Da and Li Er, and soon reached above the roots stretched out on all sides.
The poplar iron ox was at the bottom of the base of the big tree, so naturally it was impossible to see Li Da Li Er's figure anymore.
Tie Niu opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, and only after a long time did he take a breath and said, "This is amazing, isn't it? These tree roots are obviously ignorant plants and trees, how can they ...... Can I understand your words and accept your terms?"
"If it was really ignorant, it wouldn't have attacked us!" said Poplar.
But I saw the shadow swaying, and the two roots fell from above, and soon came to the poplar iron bull again.
Tie Niu was a little worried in his heart, and asked: "Lao Bai, if we honestly let these two tree roots wrap around us, and when they roll us into the air and suddenly turn their faces, then wouldn't we let them be slaughtered?"
"How can you let them slaughter?" Poplar sneered, "As long as it dares to make the slightest move, let's immediately swing our sword and slash it!"
Poplar said this very confidently, but in fact, there was a fear in his heart.
In case this tree root caught him and Tie Niu, he threw the two of them into the air more than ten meters high like he did against Sun Hao, and when they fell, he would whip them hard, no matter how great his ability and Tie Niu were, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape death.
However, this thought only wandered around in his heart, and he never dared to say it.
Seeing the two tree roots fluttering in front of him and Tie Niu, it seemed to ask him and Tie Niu's opinion, whether they were willing to be caught by them and sent into the air.
Bai Yang shouted first: "Li Da Li Er, are you all right?"
"We're fine, they've sent us to the trunk!" replied in unison.
Poplar breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that he and Iron Bull's backpacks were both thrown on the ground, he shouted, "We're going to take our backpacks with us, isn't that too much to ask?"
The two trees had already arrived in front of Poplar and Iron Bull, and as Poplar shouted, the two roots suddenly shook and quickly rolled up his and Iron Bull's backpacks.
The strange thing is that the root of the tree that wrapped up the iron bull's backpack actually stretched the top into the backpack, only to hear a "bang" sound, the iron bull's backpack was opened a big hole, but the top of the tree root, but actually rolled out the small and delicate camera in the iron bull's backpack.
"What is this for?"
Tie Niu Fang asked, and the root of the tree suddenly shook to the ground, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the camera was suddenly smashed into several petals on the ground.
Iron Bull was taken aback and was about to jump off the high platform, but Poplar hurriedly reached out and grabbed him.
"Why did it destroy my camera?" Iron Bull asked angrily.
"Naturally, it's because your camera has captured too many things in this dungeon!" replied Poplar calmly.
"But...... This big tree has been in the ground for more than a thousand years, how could it have known that there was such a thing as a camera in this world, and how could it find and destroy my camera? Is it...... Could it be that Yuan Tiangang really has such a miracle, and he could have known more than a thousand years ago that there would be such a magical thing as a camera in this world?"
Iron Bull's question, where can Bai Yang answer, he can only shake his head slightly to say that he can't explain it.
Seeing that the two tree roots were wrapped in his two backpacks and handed them to him, Poplar first reached out and took his backpack and put it on his back, followed by Tie Niu, who also took his backpack and put it on his back.
After that, Poplar stretched out his arms, naturally holding the black sword in his hand. Iron Bull followed him in the same move.
The two roots immediately stretched out and silently wrapped around the waists of the two of them.
The two of them only felt a tightness in their waists, followed by a light foot, and the two tree roots had already rolled up and flew upwards around the two of them.
Poplar had been caught in the roots of the tree before, and as soon as the roots of the tree wrapped around his waist, they immediately tightened violently. But the root of the tree only wrapped around his waist and didn't make him feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Poplar felt even more relieved, and hurriedly shouted to the Iron Bull: "It seems that they are really going to send us away, and they are obviously not hostile to us!"
"Yes, I feel it too!" replied Iron Bull in a loud voice.
In just like that, the two tree roots had already swept up with the two of them and flew up to the other tree roots that stretched out on all sides, and the vision really made the poplar iron bull breathtaking.
I still don't know how high it is overhead, but I see a bright white light at the top, which makes it difficult to open people's eyes.
There was a huge tree in front of him, and the trunk was so thick that it required at least three people to hug him.
The trunk of the tree was black, and it seemed to be hardened with steel. Moreover, the skin of the trunk is very smooth, and if it were not for the fact that there are many sharp protrusions of one or two meters long on the trunk - or it is a special branch on the surface of this trunk - with such a thickness and such a smooth surface, even the aspen iron ox would not be able to climb it.
As for the height of the tree, it was still impossible to judge, for the trunk rose upwards into the white light overhead.
"Little Brother Bai, Little Brother Tie!" Li Da and Li Er shouted in unison.
Poplar Iron Bull looked carefully, but saw that his two brothers were each stepping on a sharp bulge on their feet, and then holding another sharp bulge on their hands.
And as the two thick roots of the tree sent the Poplar Iron Ox to a sharp protrusion, the Poplar Iron Ox stood still on its feet and hurriedly climbed the other bulge above its head with his hands.
In a flash, the two tree roots had loosened the waists of the two of them, and they circled twice in front of their eyes.
Until Bai Yang said loudly: "Don't worry, we will immediately climb up along the trunk of the big tree, and we will never dare to come down here again in the future to disturb Yuan Tianshi's sleep!"
The two roots seemed to be waiting for his assurance, and as the shadow of the roots shook in front of them, the two roots stretched out from one left and one to the right, and the tops were pulled into the two remaining holes in the surrounding cave walls.
Poplar couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and smiled back at Tie Niu.
Li choked up loudly and said, "Thanks to the two little brothers who saved their lives, otherwise we two brothers would have died without bones! It's a pity that Brother Sun ......."
He couldn't help but cry, Bai Yang's heart was also very uncomfortable, he had a good impression of Li Da Li Er and Sun Hao, and if it weren't for Sun Hao's anger at the root of the tree and being killed by the root, he wouldn't have had a flash of inspiration, thinking that this big tree has an autonomous consciousness and can understand human language.
But is it true that this tree already has a human mind and understands human language?
If so, then shouldn't the legendary mountain demons and tree monsters and heavenly immortal Arhats all be real?
Poplar sighed secretly in his heart, he never believed that a big tree could have human consciousness and understand human language, but the facts in front of him made it difficult for him to justify.
"Old Bai, what do you say about the Red Door Master?" Iron Bull asked, keeping his head tilted and looking up, "If the Red Gate Master found the passage, why didn't she come down to pick us up?"
Bai Yang shook his head and said, "How can I know this! Let's climb up quickly, don't let the Red Gate Master run into any trouble on the upper side!"
"Yes, hurry up and climb up!" Li Dadao suddenly added, "Why do I think that this big tree is like a ladder to the fairy world, and the white and bright light at the top is like the gate of the fairy world?"
