Strange to say, as soon as this branch was broken, the multicolored mushrooms attached to the surface seemed to have lost some kind of life essence, quickly lost their multicolored luster, became dull, dried up and shrunk, and fell from the branch one after another.

Song Jifu looked at this scene, the pupils of his eyes dilated, as if he thought of something, and then looked at the broken branch that was broken by him, and slowly new green shoots emerged, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, according to this speed, it was obvious that it would not be long before new branches would grow.

"I see, I see, it's incredible, I can't imagine that the legend is true." Song Jifu's face as round as the full moon showed a look of surprise and joy.

Wang Lei is holding a pipe in his hand, he is a big smoker, he is used to smoking special tobacco with a pipe, but he has been busy fleeing, he can't take care of smoking, he can only hold a pipe in his hand to get over the addiction, seeing Song Jifu's expression, he couldn't help but say: "Old Song, what did you find so happy, do you know the origin of this big tree?" ”

For example, Li Zhibao is a professor who studies ancient writing and ancient civilization, Hu Shengzhe is a geologist, Wang Weiguo is an archaeological expert, Wang Lei is a zoologist, and Song Jifu is an expert in plants who has studied plants all his life.

Song Jifu heard Wang Lei's question, so he spoke: "I finally understand what these colorful plants that look like mushrooms are, and finally understand why they can grow luxuriantly, the real name of these colorful mushrooms should be called immortal mushrooms, their death is just the reincarnation of a life form, not death in our traditional sense, they can live endlessly, so they are called immortal mushrooms." ”

Wang Lei held the pipe in his left hand, tapped it lightly on his right hand, frowned, and said, "Old Song, can you explain it clearly." ”

Song Jifu said: "I say this, maybe it is difficult for you to understand, in fact, we can see this endless immortal mushroom, they are all part of a whole life, these countless immortal mushrooms, each immortal mushroom, is like a cell that constitutes our human body, so explained, do you understand?" ”

Song Jifu's words attracted the attention of everyone around, and Wang Lei also showed a look of surprise, and said, "What do you mean, all these immortal mushrooms constitute a huge life form?" ”

Song Jifu's round face always looked like he was smiling, but his eyes were full of surprise, making his whole face look a little weird: "Do you know what this tree is that we see now?" He stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, his expression becoming more and more excited: "This is the immortal tree recorded in the ancient book Yizhilu, in the record of Yizhilu, there was an immortal country in the west in ancient times, and everything in the country can live forever, as for the reason, it is because there is an immortal tree in this country, as long as this immortal tree exists, everything in this country will not die." ”

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on the unimaginably large mushroom tree in front of them.

The tree rises from the abyss of the underground cliff, the development of the canopy almost fills the entire space, and the colorful mushrooms are shining with a faint multicolored light under the illumination of the beams of light, making this space become a dream-like world, and everyone is in it, like entering the dream realm of a fairy tale.

At this moment, listening to Song Jifu's introduction, I realized that what everyone in front of me saw was the ancient strange tree recorded in the ancient books, the immortal tree.

This endless immortal mushroom all comes from this immortal tree.

"So, these colorful mushrooms we saw along the way, as well as the big tree in front of us, all these plants, actually share the same life? There are such amazing plants in the world. Zhang Shuang couldn't help but sigh.

Song Jifu nodded and said: "Yes, this life form is very wonderful, this big tree, and the countless immortal mushrooms that have been born here, are all one of the manifestations of this life, this is another life that is completely beyond our human imagination, and even it has an autonomous consciousness." ”

Song Jifu's words made everyone's hearts move, and they had a strange feeling.

The undead tree in front of you, which is so huge that you can't see the whole picture, and these countless undead mushrooms, is actually a super life? And, it also has self-awareness.

"It has been here for thousands of years, maybe it has existed since the beginning of the earth's formation, it is self-sufficient, and it is even a part of life on earth." Song Jifu couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity, in five or six days, the underground magma will erupt, maybe it will be destroyed." ”

Song Jifu's tone was full of regret.

It was an unimaginable form of life, a life form that had lived for so many years, perhaps in 10,000 years, that it was about to be destroyed, and that made him feel an indescribable emotion.

Although it is known as the Immortal Tree, it is not truly immortal, and once the underground magma erupts, it may be the moment of its life.

"Let's go." Zhou Kesheng's eyes suddenly widened, suppressed his heart, and pointed to the bottom of the immortal tree in front of him.

Li Zhibao looked at him and said, "Just below?" ”

Zhou Kesheng snorted and said, "It's just below, it's not far from us, we can climb down the immortal tree with the help of this canopy, and we should be able to find it soon." ”

Hearing Zhou Kesheng's words, Li Zhibao's old face showed a hint of brilliance, and the tiredness on his original face was swept away, and he said, "Since this is the case, let's go down immediately." ”

Xiao Ling listened to their conversation on the side, and understood that what they were talking about should be the Pisces Jade Pendant, this mysterious device, is it just below this immortal tree? The cliff below is unfathomable and dark, and the only way is to climb the immortal tree down.

"Everyone, work hard, the goal is not far away." Zhou Kesheng glanced at the people around him, boosted his morale, and said, "As long as we find the target and complete the task, we can return and leave here." ”

Everyone was excited when they heard this, especially the members of the scientific expedition team, and many people showed excitement in their eyes.

It was still Sun Tao who took the lead with three team members and began to explore the way.

Although there is a bottomless cliff abyss ahead, no one knows how deep it is, but fortunately, a prehistoric immortal tree grows from this cliff abyss.

This immortal tree has gone through many tens of thousands or even hundreds of millions of years, and it has grown to fill the entire abyssal space, from the bottom of the abyss to here, countless branches and leaves are intertwined, tangled together, forming a huge canopy.
