Chapter 44: The Hexagonal Tree
The one-eyed man-bear did not chase after him, and Liu Zhi did not rush back to the camp, he drove all the way to the top of the mountain at a higher altitude.
He remembered that in the Guifu Mountains, at higher altitudes and near streams or springs, a very dense tree would grow, known to the Easterners as the "Hexagonal Tree" and the Westerners as the "Lonsdale Tree".
These two names are so called because the tree is so hard that it is even harder than diamond, and is comparable to the legendary "Hexagonal Carbon", also known as Lonsdale Stone, which is extremely rare and the second hardest natural substance known on Earth.
If he can find the Hexagonal Tree, Liu Zhi can make a big gun out, with his current arm strength, Bao Zhun is a hole, and there is no problem with fighting ordinary second-level demon beasts, and although this wood is extremely hard, the elasticity is excellent, with a demon beast tendon, it can also be made into a super strong bow, the more powerful the awakened person, the more terrifying the power of this strong bow.
Hexagonal trees are not common in the Guifu Mountains, but they are not too rare, and Liu Zhi was lucky, and at noon the next day, he found a Hexagonal Forest by a spring, and by this time, he was at least a thousand kilometers away from the camp.
These trees are usually only the thickness of the mouth of the bowl, and the seedlings are only the size of an ordinary person's arm, and Liu Zhi compared them in the woods for a while before selecting a suitable hexagonal tree, the color is silver-white, the branches and leaves are scarce, and the diameter of the trunk is about ten centimeters, which only needs to be polished a little, and should be able to hold it.
Climbing to the top of a large tree not far away, Liu Zhi looked at the direction and aimed at the target, and then jumped up, taking advantage of the falling momentum of his body, and stepped heavily on one of the branches of this hexagonal tree.
With a squeak, the branch bent slightly, and then rebounded back at a very fast speed, and he hurriedly kicked it with his strength, jumped up to a hexagonal tree next to it, and looked back, only to see that the branch was only slightly tilted down a few degrees, far from enough to break.
"No, we need to find something heavy."
Liu Zhi was not surprised at all, looked nearby, and soon moved a two-ton boulder, carried it on his shoulder, climbed to the top of a taller tree, he took a deep breath, and then tried his best to jump up, it was actually raised to a distance of forty or fifty meters from the ground, and when it fell, it was like a meteorite coming from the sky, he held the boulder high, recovered it on one leg, and stepped heavily on the branch with one foot.
Click.
The branches were finally overwhelmed and snapped.
After landing on the ground, Liu Zhi threw away the boulder, only to feel that his right leg was extremely sore, accompanied by the pain in the heart, and hurriedly penetrated the vitality to check it, until he was sure that there was no major problem, and then he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He picked up the branch and took a closer look, and couldn't help but be very satisfied, this is the same as the branch is two meters long, about five centimeters in diameter, Fang Cai's "high-altitude meat bullet" did not bend it in the slightest, it is still as straight as a line, just suitable for making a longbow.
Sticking the branch aside, Liu Zhiqiang endured the pain in his right leg, limped to the hexagonal tree, made a very wide horse step, grasped the trunk with both hands, adjusted the position, he shouted violently, his arms, neck, and forehead burst out at the same time, the soil turned, the branches rattled, and the next moment, the entire hexagonal tree had been uprooted by it.
"Hmm...... It's a bit heavy. ”
Liu Zhi weighed it slightly, and couldn't help but show a satisfied look on his face, this small tree that is only three or four meters long is at least more than 1,000 kilograms, even if the tip is cut off to make a big gun, it should be able to retain about 500 kilograms of weight.
With a branch in his left hand and a tree trunk in his right, Liu Zhi drove at full speed towards the camp, and he couldn't wait to make a big gun.
…………
The dense forest in the evening seems a little dim, the twilight is like a glow, reflecting a little colorful, although the four fields are silent, but it contains an inexplicable restless atmosphere, even the cool breeze caressing by, it seems to bring a bit of blood.
Under the dense forest, in front of a mountain slope seven or eight meters high, three men and one woman were forced into the gap by a monster with a dog's head and a human body, and a corpse lay down not far from them, with a hole in the chest, and the heart in the chest cavity was now held in the hands of the dog demon with a crooked head.
Like gnawing on fruit, the dog demon bit off half of its heart, and suddenly showed excitement, blood slowly flowed down the corners of its mouth, outlining its expression even more terrifying, three men and one woman pulled each other and squeezed backwards, as if they were afraid of becoming the next target of torture and killing.
After eating the heart, the long tongue licked his blood-covered right hand, and his eyes swept over the four of them.
The four of them trembled at the same time, and couldn't help but crowd more frantically, as if they all wanted to occupy the innermost position, and seemed to hold the mentality that the dog demon would kill one or two more people, and leave when they were full of food and drink.
"Brother!" She turned her head to ask for help, and suddenly felt someone push her back hard, and her weak body suddenly rushed forward uncontrollably, and she suddenly raised her head, and it was a terrifying dog demon two meters high in front of her.
"Little sister!" A thin young man was so frightened that he was about to rush out to save someone, when a person next to him hurriedly grabbed him.
"You're crazy, when have you been going to die? Run, take advantage of this monster's distraction, let's scatter and run, it can't chase three people at the same time. ”
"Yes, your sister can't escape, it's better to sacrifice her, so maybe we can escape." Another stocky man chimed in.
"You bastard, I'll grass you!" The young man roared angrily, kicked the stocky man in the abdomen, and pointed at him with his eyes breathing fire: "It's you, you must have pushed my little sister out, in vain Lao Tzu usually treats you like a brother, I didn't expect you to be such a brute, even if Lao Tzu can't survive today, he will drag you to be buried with him!" He shouted and cursed as he pounced.
"Get out!"
The stocky man shouted, a hard and fast hook, directly hit the young man's cheek, the huge force hit it in the air, the head hit the mountain wall, the blood suddenly rolled down, the stocky man was still not relieved, rushed up and kicked a few times, and scolded angrily: "I'll fuck your mother, beat Lao Tzu, do you think you are who?" Think you're still the big young master of the group? A rich second generation that everyone flatters? Yes? Grass mud horse, what kind of world do you not understand now? Which of your little sister's lives is more expensive than Lao Tzu Jin? Lao Tzu said a long time ago that you should not take her, you idiot wants to take her, the big deal to stay in the camp is to be slept by someone for a few nights, at least you can still have a life, now what? What's the use of her other than sending her to death? ”
After kicking, the stocky man grabbed the young man's hair again, slapped him hard, and then spat on his blood-covered face, and said hatefully: "Since you want to save you and her so much, okay, Lao Tzu will let you save it now!" With that, he raised his arms high, directly lifted the young man upside down, and threw it towards the dog demon with all his might.
"Brother! No! The girl cried out in a terrible voice, her face full of despair.
