"Listen, it's the sound of the sea crying." A child said.

"yes, the reef has shattered the water." Another child also said.

"Sit tight, we're almost there."

Alan Bu drove the dinghy across the sea as fast as he could, and it took less than twenty minutes to reach the island. The rocking yacht rushed diagonally to the shore and plunged into the pile of sand and gravel, and Kazi, who was not fully prepared, was thrown out.

"It hurts, drive so quickly to reincarnate."

Polomo untied his belt and ran over to pick him up, his bare hands and feet pricked by the sand. Alain Bu grinned and walked over to help him clean the wounds on his body, but fortunately only the epidermis was bruised.

"I'm sorry, I forgot you were behind your back."

"It's over, I'm a work-related injury, and you have to pay for the medical expenses." Kazi said, stretching his neck.

"Okay, well, I'll let you lie comfortably in the hospital for a month when you go back."

The three of them took a moment to observe the island, which looked small from the outside, but after landing on the island, they found that it was quite large. Especially in front of this big forest, the trees are big and windy, the cortex is dark brown, unfathomable, can you still go out if you go in?

"Lange, look, these trees are so strange, what kind of trees are they?"

"How do I know? You go back and ask your Uncle Nan. ”

"There's a voice in there?"

It stands to reason that a forest of this size should have abundant vegetation, but here the trees are bare, and some of them are just yellow grass roots. The surface of the earth is covered with dark red fluids of all sizes, and surprising temperatures rise from the flowing liquids.

Kazi stretched out his hand and put it flat, exclaiming, "Wow, it's burned, it's at least a thousand degrees, right?" ”

"Then don't touch it."

"Lava flow, this is a lava flow." "There must be a volcano around," he said. ”

"How do you know?"

"I read it in a book."

"What weird books have you read again?" Fearing that she would step on a lava flow, Alain Bu simply carried her on his back. He then threw the rucksack to Kazi, who was met with contempt.

Kazi kicked the trunk of the tree, hard, like a piece of metal. Puzzled by his hatred, he picked up another stone and threw it at the tree, and the bark was not broken, but the stone cracked.

Alain Bu, who was walking in front, said to him, "Don't make a fuss, go quickly." ”

Gradually, the lava flow became much thicker and branched, and some of the surrounding trees showed signs of withering, and they could not stand such strong heat. I guess it's not far from the volcano, right? However, along the way, not even a single demon clan could be touched.

"Abu, Abu."

"Huh?"

"Don't go any further, turn back." It was already very hot here, and both of them were about to collapse, so Polomo turned his head to look behind him, "Huh? What about Kazi? ”

"Cut, that guy is always a concern."

There seemed to be a leaf falling from the head, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was a pale pink petal. The sunlight penetrated the layers of branches and leaves, and among the green trees, a person sat in the branches and looked down at them.

"How did you get there?" Alain Bu and Poromo were shocked.

"Come on, the Iron Tree is blooming."

The trees here are all straight, like iron generals with a standard standing posture. Although the bark was not rough, it was difficult to catch it in the absence of a place, and Arambu immediately decided that the tree was of an unclimbable type.

But Kazi climbed up, using an iron pestle stuck in the trunk of the tree, and he could easily step on it to reach the top of the tree. And what's on top of the tree? There is a stone house made of stones, because this kind of stone is relatively light, and it will not fall if it is pressed against the branches.

Strangely, these stone houses do not look like they are inhabited, only one floor is made, connected together, and the top of their heads are thousands of green leaves. It is sheltered from lava flows on the ground, protected from rain from the sky, and sometimes has a cool breeze to blow.

Seeing that he was happy to blossom in the tree, Alain Bu wanted to climb up, but Poram didn't want him to carry it anyway. Climbing a tree is a physical task, and climbing more than ten meters high is even more physically demanding, and even though Alain Bu reassures her that she will be fine, she still shakes her head vigorously.

As a last resort, Alain Bu had no choice but to let her climb first, and she was behind herself. At first she was able to climb quite quickly, but by the middle she was struggling, her fingers were shaking, and he didn't dare to urge.

Standing on the stone floor, Kazi was gloating, but seeing them move so slowly, he couldn't bear it. He threw down a thick hemp rope and pulled Polomo up little by little, and several load-bearing branches swayed, but fortunately they did not fall.

"Are you thirsty? Drink some water. He put away the rope and looked at Arambu below, "Old turtle, climb faster." ”

Coming to the middle and upper sections, Alain Bu used his hands and feet together, grabbed the bar and pulled himself up, stepping on the thin branches and jumping to the nearest floor. The suspended stone floor shook violently several times, and it was not only the sturdy branches that could withstand the weight, but also the ropes that could be found everywhere.

The three were unsteady on their feet, and all of them were lying on the ground.

"How did you do that?"

"At least not people." Alain Bu took a deep breath, "To be able to nail an iron pestle to such a hard bark, only the demons can do it. ”

"So where did they all go? Is it going to be dead? ”

"If you don't live in a tree, you can live by the sea, and the pulleys that Kazi just used and the traces of smoke on the ground indicate that they used to be here."

"That makes sense, then we'll follow the traces of their activities and go around the mountain ahead."

The two acquiesced to Alainbu's instructions and proceeded cautiously among the blackened stone slabs. The buckets they saw hanging from the branches, the rough clothes made of blades of grass, and the ornaments made of pale petals all proved that there was a real place to live.

The stone slabs were not very tightly linked, some were nearly half a meter away, and some even had a large hole in the ground, which caused a lot of obstacles for the three of them to advance. It's just that the rocks of this texture have few cracks and are all well fixed, and they are not worried that it will crack suddenly. In fact, they can also avoid this risk by holding on to twine tied to tree branches.

The area of the slate is not large, and you can see the end at a glance.

Another set of iron pestles appeared on the trunk of another thick tree, and unlike the previous ones, this set of iron pestles had become loose due to frequent use, and it was more difficult to go down than to go up. It would be convenient to land on a soft rope, but Alain Bu was worried about their quality.

"It's okay, it's okay, just tie the two ropes together, and find another one to connect them...... You see. Kazi said, holding each rope together and pulling it hard.

The rope is broken.
