Five Realms of Reincarnation Chapter 12 Airroot Forest
When I went to Bangladesh to conduct archaeology with a high-tech archaeological company, I saw with my own eyes the big banyan tree in the rainforest, which is said to have housed an army of thousands to shelter from the sun. In addition to the corrosive liquid under the stone platform, which is a stone, and there is no sunlight all year round, it is possible to grow a banyan tree with such a large crown I don't believe it myself.
The banyan tree and the aerial root have completely divided the stone platform into two parts, and there is no other way to get to the opposite side than to pass through the aerial root. The whole stone cave is only under the banyan tree and the opposite side can not be seen clearly, if there is an exit, it is very possible only in these two places, we have been down for a lot of time, we haven't eaten much in the morning, plus this way of consumption, the stomach has long been empty, if you wait until you are hungry and have no strength, I am afraid that it is more dangerous than going in now.
Hearing that he was going to enter, Wang Chuan took the lead in approaching the air roots on the periphery of the banyan tree, and Shen Muhan's physical strength also recovered almost not far behind Wang Chuan. I thought about it for a moment, and still held the diving dagger in my hand, although the blade had broken out a lot of small chips, but there was only such a tool around my body that could barely defend myself.
There are a large number of aerial roots, and the distance between the two is very close, and they can only move forward by picking them up one by one. As they got closer to the trunk, the surrounding aerial roots became denser, and no more than an arm's length apart from each other could now only be seen in a rough outline.
After walking out of the airroot forest, I found that the blue light emitted from the canopy of the tree actually cast a faint halo on my body, and the skin on my hands gradually became transparent after taking off the gloves, and when I walked to the trunk, I could clearly see the veins on the back of my hand.
"Girl, look ......" I looked at my hand and turned around, but there was no shadow of Shen Muhan beside me.
I distinctly remember that she had just walked in with her not far from the left-hand side, and when she walked to the middle, she could still see a vague shadow through the gap in the air root, and according to the time, she should have walked over by now.
"Girl!" I shouted again in a louder voice, but there was still no response, and suddenly a sense of foreboding came to my heart, even if I couldn't see the direction because the air roots were too dense, the whole space was so big, I just shouted that the voice should have been heard no matter how far away, could it be that I encountered some danger?
"Chuanzi!" I tried to call Wang Chuan again, but there was no response either. According to memory, Wang Chuan should have walked on the far left just now, and Shen Muhan was in the middle of us, although they were separated by dense air roots, the distance between them was not far, and there was no reason why I couldn't hear my voice.
Thinking of this, I was a little flustered in my heart, and with the help of my memory, I turned around and walked in the direction that Shen Muhan walked in, shouting as I walked, and I didn't see Shen Muhan until I walked out of the range shrouded by the air root.
"Could it be that the two of them just disappeared in the air root so inexplicably?"
Looking at the cage-like air root in front of me, I muttered in my heart, and I didn't dare to walk in rashly, so I had to stand in place and shout the names of the two of them, but there was no response from the air root.
There was a dead silence in the airroot forest, and I clenched the diving dagger in my hand a little tighter, and my heart sank, ready to enter again. Wang Chuan aside, Shen Muhan and I definitely can't leave it alone, not to mention that there is any unknown danger in the qi root, even if there is no danger to throw her inside, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any danger.
After thinking about it, I walked in front of the qi root, took a deep breath, raised my feet and walked in, this time I followed the route that Shen Muhan had just taken, if there was something wrong in it just now, I should have left traces along the way. As he went deeper and deeper, the qi roots around him became dense again, and there was still no trace of Shen Muhan, and even until now, there was no trace of anyone passing by, as if no one had ever come.
I don't have the patience to pick up the air roots one by one, raise the diving diving dagger in my hand to cut off the air roots in front of me, the intact diving diving dagger can cut five centimeters of wooden sticks, although the air roots are thicker, but the texture is much softer than the wooden sticks, even if the blade has been damaged, it is effortless to cut the air roots, with the fall of the diving diving dagger, the air roots have broken and landed.
I slashed all the way forward, after these air roots were cut off, there would be a light blue liquid flowing out, accidentally a few drops on my hand, it slowly seeped through the skin, and finally passed through the palm of my hand and dripped on the ground, as the blue liquid passed through, the skin of the whole hand became completely transparent.
When he walked under the tree after cutting the last piece of air root in front of him, Shen Muhan was anxiously picking up the air root and looking inside. As soon as he saw me coming out of the air root, he hurriedly walked over: "Wood, are you okay, why are you so slow?" ”
The skin on Shen Muhan's face has also become translucent, and every blood vessel can be seen clearly.
"Girl, where did you just go?"
Shen Muhan reached out and touched my hand that seemed to have no skin: "I don't know, I couldn't see you when I walked in the air root just now, and when I walked out, I saw that my hand became translucent, but I didn't expect your hand to be more serious." ”
Listening to Shen Muhan's words, I realized that there were only two of us under the tree, and Wang Chuan didn't even come out.
Since Shen Muhan has no problem, then Wang Chuan must have no problem either. I calmed down and remembered what had just happened, at least now I can probably know two things.
The first is that all the surrounding air roots can block the sound, as long as two people are one inside the air root and the other outside the air root, no matter how loud you shout, you can't hear each other. Secondly, it was a matter of time, at first we walked into the air roots at the same time, and we could still see each other faintly in the first half, but in the end it was only me who walked under the tree. When I walked out and came in for the second time, Shen Muhan appeared under the tree, even if Shen Muhan walked slowly, there would not be such a big time difference, not to mention that Wang Chuan had not come out until now. There is a deviation in the time inside this air root, but I am not sure what the key to triggering is, so I can only try it now.
Thinking of this, I took Shen Muhan's hand: "Girl, follow up, don't let go." ”
Now the only way to find Wang Chuan is to find this trigger point, I want to verify my thoughts, but I don't dare to guarantee that Shen Muhan is still under the tree once I come, I can only use this method, only by taking it with me is the safest, I can't hold it in my hand and disappear mysteriously.
I pulled Shen Muhan back and forth from the air root again, and when I returned to the tree again, Wang Chuan was sitting alone under the tree, and when he saw us, he quickly stood up: "Are you all okay?" How did the skin become transparent when it came here? ”
This Qi Root Forest is really the same as I thought, only one person can come in at a time, so the first time the three of us came in together, only I walked out, the second time it became me and Shen Muhan, and the last time Wang Chuan came out.
I told me all the experiences and inferences just now, and Wang Chuan didn't seem to understand it at once, and nodded very perfunctorily.
I didn't explain again, after all, even I don't know what the reason is, the main thing at the moment is to see if there is a place to go out near the banyan tree, and I will have to come back after a while.
There was no air root near the trunk, and the trunk of the tree that the three of them hugged together was in front of them, covered with ravines formed by vicissitudes, like unhealed wounds, and there was a ring of protrusions near the canopy, like a tree nodule formed by circumcision. The entire canopy stretches outward, glowing faintly blue, and the gap between the leaves is too small to see where the light comes from.
I looked up at the canopy for a while, and I couldn't see that she was ugly, Shen Muhan was squatting not far away at this time, as if she was looking at something, that position was exactly where the curvature of the surface of the trunk turned to the back, and I couldn't see what was in front of her from my position.
