Volume 1 Land of Rain 055 Climbing Trees
The forests of the Land of Rain are actually beautiful.
Because of the year-round rains, most of the trees here are needle pines. Covered with stone pines, mosses, and drooping lichens, towering pine trees, epiphytes use their roots to absorb nutrients from the humid air.
There are also many other types of trees and shrubs, whose branches and leaves have been washed clean by the rain, and even when the sun does not shine through the thick clouds, they can emit a faint light and show their unique charm.
When the four of them came, what they saw was the dense woods with thick curtains woven of moss, wrapped in translucent gauze made of mist, ethereal and deep.
Suddenly, the soil under the trees not far away loosened a few times.
"Woo...... "Woo" Little Little's ears stood up, its forelimbs fell to the ground, its nose swayed, and its tail hung down quietly.
The three little ones understood that this was the discovery of prey.
This rainforest has quite a few plump woodrats, which are the favorite of the little ones in this forest, but generally ...... Can't catch it.
Shen Qi saw it in his eyes, and he hit a big stone in the near future.
Big Stone: !!
What are you doing? Don't come here!
"Bang ......"
"What's wrong?"
"What's going on?"
"What sound?"
The three little ones who were concentrating on watching the little ones were startled and hurriedly looked at Shen Qi.
At this time, Shen Qi had already put the small blanket and food into the stone cave.
Seeing Sanxiao looking over, she calmly hooked her hand: "Come here, put things in." ”
Three small ones: ......
The big sister is still as good (violent) as ever.
"Aren't you going inside?" Xiao Nan asked, "The tree here is not very big." ”
"No, you don't." Shen Qi shook his head, "It's okay here, so that the dog can catch the forest mouse." ”
Oh......
The three little ones only understood, so they went to see the little ones who were treated preferentially.
But Xiao Budian didn't wag his tail as excitedly as Sanxiao wanted, he was staring blankly at the empty rat nest, wanting to cry without tears.
Three small ones: ......
Apparently, the woodrat had been scared away.
The things were placed, the dogs and rabbits were placed, and the three little ones stood one by one tree.
"I've already talked about what I need to talk about yesterday, so remember for yourselves what you should do. If it goes well, you can climb a meter or two! Shen Qi sat comfortably in the cave and set up a simple snack table in front of him.
"Got it, teacher." The three little ones nodded.
First, there is the "not" handprint.
The three little ones began to sense the chakra under their feet.
"Well, that's good." Shen Qi felt the special fluctuations in the air and nodded secretly.
The next step is to go up the tree.
After adjusting the state of the chakra, the three small ones rushed towards the big tree at the same time.
"I wonder how high they can climb for the first time?" Shen Qi took a leisurely bite of the apple.
"Woohoo!"
"Bang!"
"Oops!"
I saw that the three little ones were full of confidence, and they had just taken their first step towards the big tree, but they didn't want to slip under their feet and fell directly to the ground.
"Uh......" Shen Qi couldn't believe it, "You haven't gone up a single step?" ”
"Pain, pain, pain......" Yahiko got up with a frown, and looked innocently at the place where he had stepped on.
In the middle of the green moss, there is an extremely abrupt indentation half a meter high.
"Can this tree really be climbed?" Xiao Nan rubbed his ass and got up.
"There's a bit of moss over here." Nagato was also a little confused.
Shen Qi was a little weak-hearted.
Ah...... It seems that this is not taken into account.
Look around, it's all mossy trees...... That's a bit tricky.
 ̄ω ̄=
Fortunately, the three little ones are all relatively worry-free children.
They themselves comprehended Shen Qi's "good intentions".
"Definitely you can climb it!" The first to speak out was Yahiko, "There are many moss-free trees in it, and the big sister stopped at this place without any reason." It's said that it's for the little one to catch woodrats, but in fact, it's just to see how much moss there is! ”
"That's right, forest rats are everywhere......" Xiao Nan thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"That's how it should be." Nagato also figured it out, "Ninjas can jump from tree to tree, and the trees in the Land of Rain are more or less moss-grown, so they still have to walk on the trees." ”
"That's right! Later, we learned to jump from branch to branch, so we couldn't just pick a tree without moss! Yahiko clapped his hands, his face determined.
"Makes sense......" Xiao Nan recognized the speculation of his friends and sealed it again.
"Wow! Xiao Nan, you started secretly! Yahiko shouted when he saw it, and hurriedly kept up with the progress.
Nagato stopped talking and ran towards the tree first.
Shen Qi, who listened to it word for word, looked up at the sky: It turns out that they all understand my intentions...... I don't even understand it myself.
"Woohoo!"
"Bang!"
"Woohoo!"
"Bang!"
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Budian had already started to eat dinner.
The three little ones are still working hard at a height of half a meter.
Not to mention, this moss just saved them the step of scratching marks with a dagger......
Shen Qi couldn't stand it anymore.
"Stop, don't run."
"Teacher, I'm okay!" Yahiko, who was seriously climbing the tree, was startled, rubbed his buttocks, and said loudly.
"I ...... You can also ......" Xiao Nan turned around and looked at Shen Qi with a serious face.
Nagato gasped and looked at Shen Qi quietly.
Shen Qi held his forehead, are these three little guys still addicted to climbing trees?
"Eat first, go home, and come back tomorrow."
"Don't!" Yahiko immediately objected, he was indeed a little overhead, "I think if I work hard for a while, I can go beyond the height of half a meter and work hard towards one meter!" ”
Xiao Nan and Yahiko didn't speak, but the unyielding in their eyes was exactly the same as Yahiko.
"You need to fill your stomach first." Shen Qi frowned.
"Don't complete the task, don't eat." Yahiko is as stubborn as a donkey.
"Obedient!" Shen Qi also became serious.
The three little ones didn't dare to speak, but they told Shen Qi with their eyes that if they didn't complete the task, they wouldn't eat.
Shen Qi was a little angry now.
"I know, you're all working hard. After practicing all afternoon without progress, do you feel unwilling? Do you think you can succeed next time? But if you want me to say, even if you practice for another week, a month, or a year, you won't be able to practice well! ”
The three little ones bowed their heads in a blow.
"Do you know that if you want to hurry, you can't get there?"
Shen Qi's voice softened a little.
Actually, I don't blame them.
The trio of Naruto Sasuke Sakura only began to learn to climb trees and walk on water after graduating from the sixth grade. And they have ample theoretical knowledge and rich experience in ninjutsu.
So Sakura can learn to climb trees in the first place, and Naruto and Sasuke can learn to climb trees in two days.
But the three little ones are different, they have just turned seven years old now, and they are normally only in the second grade. It's hard for them to be as productive as the trio from the first day of their approach to tree climbing – and of course, heavy rain and moss are also a big factor.
