Chapter 09: The Trial of Food (1)
In the depths of the Oasis Secret Realm, a giant tree rises from the sky, making it difficult to see the height. It's a giant tree that even several people can't hug together. The lush foliage allows the trees to scatter freely, and from below, only a simple outline can be seen clearly. This was the first time Ai Xiang had seen a tree of this size, in front of it. I'm as small as an ant.
"This size should be the size of the World Tree!" Looking at the trees in front of him, Ai Xiang let out such an emotion. As the largest tree in the human world, the World Tree is watched by many people every year. Come to travel, of course, Ai Xiang has not seen it. As for the news of the World Tree, Ai wants to see more on TV. Of course, it's one thing to see it on TV, but it's another thing to actually see it. Standing in front of the trees, Ai Xiang's eyes sparkled.
The palm of his hand lightly pressed against the tree, and Ai Xiang closed his eyes. Feel the pulse of nature. Of course, this is just a fantasy of Ai's imagination. Although I didn't feel any pulsations, the huge trees still brought Ai Xiang an unimaginable sense of tranquility and a very unique sense of comfort.
"Okay, is this the true treasure of the Oasis Secret Realm?" Looking away from the huge trees, Ai wanted to focus on the huge hall behind him.
The ornate palace has become dilapidated with the passage of time, and the mottled walls have long been quietly covered with vegetation. Looking at this dilapidated silhouette, you can vaguely feel how large and splendid the palace once was. But all this can't resist the passage of time after all. At the gates of the palace, it was very dark and terrible. The deep doorway is as terrifying as a beast with its bloody mouth open.
"Did you finally find it?" Ai Xiang's face showed a hint of excitement. Everything went very smoothly, and it made Ai want to doubt life. Of course, even so, Ai Xiang was ready to enter this palace. Ancient palaces often represent treasures. And treasures, like food, are unimaginably attractive to Ai Xiang.
Without hesitating for long, Ai Xiang entered the palace directly. The pitch-black environment made it impossible to see the depths, and when Ai Xiang stepped into the darkness, countless bats rushed out in an instant. Hold your head until all the bats are gone. Ai Xiang slowly put it down.
"It's really dark enough!" Slightly relieved, Ai Xiang's eyes were covered with thoughts. In this dark environment, Ai Xiang didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Because no one knows how many unknown dangers will emerge in the dark. There will be many unforeseen dangers.
I don't know how long I walked, but in the darkness, Ai Xiang could only rely on his intuition to keep moving forward.
With the sound of "instigation", Ai Xiang had been vigilant enough. But in the end, Ai Xiang still got hit. Faced with the unknown darkness, Ai Xiang just looked at the beasts in the darkness. Paying attention to the path ahead, but forgetting that he was in this kind of palace. Traps are the most common thing.
The constant decline of the body and the strong sense of weightlessness made Ai Xiang very uncomfortable. Ai Xiang didn't know what he would encounter when he landed. The only thing Ai Xiang can do is to keep tensing his muscles and constantly let his thoughts surge all over his body. Protect yourself as much as possible.
"Smack"
This is the sound of things falling to the ground, and it is also the sound of Ai wanting to land. Suddenly falling from the sky, Ai Xiang looked very embarrassed. However, Ai Xiang feels fortunate that there is no trap of lack of virtue below. This also made Ai Xiang not receive any serious injuries. This is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing.
"That's a lot of carelessness." Rubbing his buttocks, which hurt a little, Ai wanted to have a chance to observe his surroundings. Unlike the pitch-black environment at the beginning, Ai Xiang looked at a passage lit by candles. Two rows of candles lit up the road in front of him, and Ai Xiang vaguely saw that at the end of the road, there was something similar to a statue. At this time, Ai Xiang naturally wouldn't be naïve to think that it was just a statue. For Ai Xiang, it will be more of an opponent, a statue-like guardian.
When Ai wanted to be trapped in the palace, Nobunaga and the others who came in from another road were not so easy.
With a "bang", the knife flashed, and a huge python instantly turned into a corpse.
"What a nuisance! Sure enough, I hate this kind of forest the most. "As they walked through the forest, Nobunaga and March were constantly being harassed by a constant stream of wild beasts and bugs. Like this python on the ground, Nobunaga's knife doesn't know how many times he has killed. Among them, Nobunaga found the most troublesome are the mosquitoes that are small in size but have a large number of mosquitoes. It was precisely because of the presence of these mosquitoes that the speed of the two of them was so much slower.
Faced with Nobunaga's apologies, March still didn't say anything. It's just that the fingers keep beating, indicating that March is not idle. Frowning slightly, there was nothing Marchy could do about these endless insects. The only thing I can think of is to get to my destination as soon as possible.
