In the boundless wilderness, lonely travelers always walk alone.

There were dry gravel and gravel everywhere, and there was no sign of life, but Yan Hua was unaware, and still walked forward step by step, as if he was going to rush to an agreement that had to be fulfilled.

Time passed little by little, Yan Hua never stopped, but the surrounding scenery was always monotonous, and people couldn't help but get lost in it.

He didn't know when he had set out, and he couldn't remember where he was going, so he wandered aimlessly through the desolate world.

The sky suddenly darkened completely, Yan Hua subconsciously looked up, and found that he had unconsciously come to a wall.

It's like you've come to the end of the world, and the whole world ends here, separated by a continuous wall.

"What is this?" Yan Hua's eyes went from numb to vivid, looking at the scene in front of him with a stunned look.

If he's not mistaken, it's a wooden wall!

It's just that the scale of this wooden wall is really intimidating.

Yan Hua stood at the base of the wall, first looked up, but only saw that the wall extended to the sky until the end of the field of vision; Looking left and right, it is also the same rambling, I don't know where it leads.

The rough texture of the trees, the hard and slightly cracked, the wooden walls rising from the depths of the earth, like mountains, stretched between heaven and earth, and then stretched out on both sides, forming an impassable mountain range.

Yan Hua looked at it in a daze, motionless as he looked at the mountain range in front of him, and then slowly reached out and stroked it.

The moment I touched it, I felt a mild and rough feeling, and it was indeed the texture of the bark.

Yan Hua faintly thought of something in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, he withdrew his hand and slowly stepped back.

Yan Hua's speed of retreat was not fast, but in such an ordinary retreat, the surrounding scenery changed wildly, like a battle turning stars, and like the sun and moon reversing.

Just took about seven steps back, and the whole picture of the mountain range was completely displayed in front of Yan Hua's eyes.

Yan Hua gasped, and finally affirmed the incredible conjecture in his heart.

The mountain range, which was so high that it covered the sky, turned out to be just a tree root......

He breathed deeply, but he still couldn't calm his mind, and in the midst of an irrepressible heartbeat, his eyes looked up along the dragon-like mountains and tree roots, and finally saw the source of these roots.

It was a cloud that enveloped the whole world, and in the depths of the cloud, an even greater black shadow was projected.

Yan Hua held his breath and stared at the silhouette in the clouds, waiting patiently, although he didn't know what he was waiting for now.

Layers of clouds and mist, like real and illusory, just when he couldn't help but gasp slightly, he suddenly felt a sense in his heart, Huo Ran's eyes widened, his gaze was like electricity, and he instantly saw what was hidden through the gap in the clouds.

It was as if a lightning bolt fell in the silence, and in the roar, the whole world trembled, perhaps not only the world, but the entire universe trembled.

The gray-white clouds in the sky gradually dissipated, and Yan Hua felt that he was about to go crazy.

What appeared in front of him was a huge tree that completely surpassed his imagination, the roots of which were shocking enough, but the trunk was even thicker, bringing no less impact than before.

Towering like a cloud? Meteorological majestic?

No! None of these descriptions are true!

Because those grand descriptions are not enough to describe the one-ten-thousandth of the giant tree in front of us, the galaxy rises and falls between the canopy, time wanders in the branches and leaves, space coincides on the trunk, and matter is born and dies on the roots.

This is a giant tree that encompasses the whole world!

Or rather, the tree is the world itself!

Yan Hua and the earth under his feet were so insignificant in front of this existence, smaller than the dust in the Hanhai, and even more humble than mustard seeds and Sumeru.

Some existences do not need to be touched, there is no need to communicate, they just exist quietly there, and a glance at them will make people break down without knowing it.

And Yan Hua's current cognition and mind are on the verge of collapse.

"Suzu~"

A breeze blows in the dead world, bringing with it the crisp sound of wind chimes.

I don't know when Yan Hua, who was already in tears, followed the prestige and found a string of wind chimes hanging on a branch of the giant tree!

The wind chimes were so small, but Yan Hua still spotted the other party at a glance.

Stretching out his hand in a daze, Yan Hua found that the big tree that originally contained the entire universe was actually held in the palm of his hand, like a beautifully shaped handicraft.

Yan Hua didn't notice these changes, but slowly put his face close to the sapling in the palm of his hand, staring at the wind chimes on the branches in a daze.

"Cloud ...... Bell......? Yan Hua muttered unconsciously, and then his pupils shrank suddenly.

Even if it was as light as nothing, Yan Hua still noticed a small person lying on his back for the first time, and he was stunned in place.

"Big brother! You've finally come to see Yunling! The voice of joy came from behind itself, and it was indeed the voice of Yunling.

"Yunling, why are you here?"

Yan Hua looked back slightly, saw the familiar and thin smiling face and the eyes as clear as a fawn, his heart relaxed inexplicably, and asked with a little curiosity.

Yun Ling blinked, stretched out his hand to point to the sapling in Yan Hua's hand, and said with a little anger: "Of course this guy is harmful." ”

"This?" Yan Hua's face was full of doubts.

Yun Ling looked at Yan Hua's ignorant expression, and suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said, "Hehe! Big brother is so stupid, he has been parasitized by this bad guy for so long without finding out! ”

"This tree? Parasitism? What the hell is all this going on? Yan Hua was finally completely confused, "Isn't this my dream?" ”

Yun Ling stuck out her tongue and grimaced, "It's not a dream!" Now these are all real things that are happening in your brain, big brother. ”

Yan Hua was shocked: "It's not a dream!" Could it be mental manipulation? ”

"That's right!" Yun Ling jumped off Yan Hua's back, came to the front, glared at the beautifully shaped little sapling, and said, "This guy is parasitic on the big brother, and has been trying to manipulate your mind and turn you into his puppet, and the illusion of the giant tree just now is also a ghost it is making. ”

Yan Hua was sure that he was not mistaken, the sapling obviously trembled twice when he was stared at by Yun Ling, as if he was afraid.

"This guy is alive!" Yan Hua was slightly shocked in his heart, and the more he looked at the sapling in his hand, the more familiar he became, and finally recognized what it was, "Memory Mangrove?" ”

The sapling in front of him is a juvenile version of the Memory Mangrove! After thinking of the ability to remember the mangrove, Yan Hua couldn't help but feel creepy.

If you don't have Yunling, it is estimated that even if you don't become a puppet of the memory mangrove or something, it is estimated that you will fall into the illusion of battle because of the ability of the memory mangrove and be driven crazy.

Yun Ling nodded and said, "Well, I originally thought it was just a special hair for me to live in, but I didn't expect him to have spiritual abilities, and it was a real illusion that was diametrically opposed to my abilities." ”

Yan Hua came back to his senses and asked, "Wait! Are you saying that the reason why you are able to appear in my spiritual world now is also because of me? And not because of the remnants of your previous impact on my spirit. ”

"Huh? Didn't Yunling tell the big brother? Yun Ling rolled her eyes, "This is a means that I have learned from others and then improved myself, so that I can copy my own spirit and memory into another container that can be accommodated, and this hair of my big brother is my container." ”

Yan Hua replied: "You really didn't tell me. ”

"I'm sorry, Yunling just doesn't want to be alone anymore, so she is good at following her big brother." Yun Ling's eyes became pitiful, "Yun Ling likes big brother, so I want to be with big brother forever." If the big brother dislikes Yun Ling, Yun Ling can leave now, and promise not to pester the big brother again. ”

"No, it's okay." Yan Hua saw the light in Yun Ling's eyes, and hurriedly said, "I don't dislike Yun Ling. “

"That'...... Can Yunling continue to stay with her big brother? Yun Ling asked cautiously while sobbing.

"It should ...... Well...... OK. Yan Hua finally couldn't bear to refuse and nodded.

Yun Ling burst into tears and laughed, jumped and hugged Yan Hua's waist and cheered: "Great! Yunling can finally be with her big brother! Yunling is finally not alone! ”

Yan Hua looked at the cheering Yunling, the corners of his mouth showed a heartfelt arc, and the last trace of unhappiness that Yunling ran to him without permission also disappeared.

And thinking that Yunling had just helped him solve the crisis from the memory mangrove larvae, he was grateful to his younger sister.

He didn't doubt what Yun Ling said, and he had already guessed when the memory mangrove was placed on him, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, and then he felt a little itchy on his head.

After Yun Ling calmed down, Yan Hua touched his hair and asked, "Yun Ling, can you tell me where this guy is on my head now?" ”

This guy naturally refers to the memory mangrove larvae that was sent to him by Yan Hua when he inadvertently opened the cultivation chamber in the combat training room, and disguised as the hair in Yun Ling's mouth.

Yan Hua felt that it was better to clear a threat like the memory mangrove as soon as possible, otherwise his heart would always be unsteady, not to mention that the other party was on his body now, which would make it even more difficult for people to sleep.

"Big brother, are you trying to pull him out?" Yunling guessed Yan Hua's thoughts, shook his head and said, "It's too late!" Now the roots of this little tree have spread all over the surface of Big Brother's brain and are connected to the nerves on the surface of your brain, if you forcibly pull it out, it is easy to hurt your brain, and then Big Brother will become an idiot. ”

Yan Hua was grabbing his head for a moment, and slowly relaxed, for fear that he would become an idiot if he accidentally pulled out a hair.

Yun Ling saw Yan Hua's reaction, patted his chest and said, "But don't worry, big brother, as long as Yun Ling is here, he won't hurt you, big brother." ”

Yan Hua looked at Yun Ling with a confident face, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "Then please." ”

"Hmmm! Wrap it up on me! Yunling raised his head proudly, "Big brother is Yunling's closest person, I will definitely protect big brother!" ”

Yan Hua smiled and reached out to touch Yun Ling's head, and then his heart moved, and he asked Yun Ling who showed a look of enjoyment: "By the way, how much strength Yun Ling has now, can you tell me?" ”

Yun Ling showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Because it's just a spirit body, Yun Ling's spiritual strength is only a little bit left, and now it is estimated that it is only about three stars, and it can't help except for helping the big brother to watch the memory mangrove." ”

Yan Hua was not disappointed, and in turn comforted Yun Ling, who looked depressed, and said, "It's okay, you can protect the eldest brother from the interference of the memory mangrove, you have already done me a great favor!" ”

"Really?" Yun Ling asked with excitement, her eyes shining.

"Of course!" Yan Hua said seriously, "Yunling is the patron saint of the eldest brother!" ”

Yunling jumped up excitedly: "Yay! Yunling is the patron saint of the big brother! In the future, the spiritual aspect of the big brother will be handed over to me to protect! ”

Yan Hua smiled and nodded Yunling's nose and said, "Okay!" In the future, the spiritual defense of the big brother will depend on Yunling. ”

After that, he added another sentence in his heart: "As for the other dangers, let me bear them, I will never let you experience those loneliness again." ”
