242 Lonely Tree

"It's done, it's done... Xiaoyu grabbed Zhang Heng and said tremblingly.

"Heh, hehe, it's okay, it's okay." The queen did not warn, indicating that the tree was not malicious, this was Zhang Heng's first reaction after hearing the voice trembling, but this body just couldn't stop.

Zhang Heng rode the car and slowly approached, and when he got closer, a golden beetle on a branch crawled away, and the branch slowly stretched to the surface of the water.

Zhang Heng saw that the branch stretched to the side, so he asked Xiaoyu to go up first, and then took the car and grabbed the branch and climbed on it.

The branches slowly stretched back again, sending the two of them to the thicker branches.

Zhang Heng and Xiaoyu stood on the big branch and looked at it, it was very wide and flat, but they didn't find anything, such as the face of the legendary tree man.

As if sensing something, the voice spoke again: "I don't know what you think the tree man looks like, but I don't have what you call a face, you go to the tree trunk on the left, and that's where I make my voice." ”

Zhang Heng pulled Xiaoyu and walked in the direction he was pointing, and then found a tree hole.

"Is this your mouth?" Xiaoyu looked at the tree hole and asked.

"Probably so." The hollow of the tree shook again.

Zhang Heng raised a flashlight and looked into the cave, the hole is not big, it is about a columnar tree hole about 2 meters wide and about 3 meters deep, but the inside is oblique downward.

Zhang Heng saw that there seemed to be a reflection at the bottom of the cave, so he asked, "Is the juice you secreted at the bottom?" ”

"No, I don't know what those things are."

Zhang Heng was stunned, this tree didn't even know what was in his cave, "Can I go down and take a look?" ”

The tree paused for a moment, "I can get some for you to see." ”

A small branch reached out to the bottom of the cave, and then came out again.

Zhang Heng looked carefully, and there was a pit at the front of the branch, and there was a small bowl of liquid in it.

"Queen, what kind of liquid is this?" Zhang Heng didn't know it, and he didn't dare to reach out rashly to touch it, so he asked.

"This is the essence of the center of the earth."

Zhang Heng was taken aback, he didn't expect this thing to be in this tree hole.

"Was this liquid all in this hollow before?" Zhang Heng asked.

"You seem to know these liquids, don't you want to taste them?" Big Tree asked.

Zhang Heng hurriedly shook his hand, this thing is too strong, and he hung up accidentally.

Seeing that Zhang Heng didn't seem to want to drink, Da Shu carefully poured the liquid back into the tree hole.

Seeing this person, Yishu seemed to attach great importance to this waterside and asked, "Can't you drink this water?" ”

"Yes, but we can't drink it directly." Zhang Heng replied, and then asked, "Big tree, did you have all these liquids in this tree hole before?" ”

"No, I've only collected half a tree hole."

Half a tree hole? That's a lot, "So how long have you been here?" ”

"How long?" The big tree paused for a moment and continued, "I don't know how long I've been here. ”

"Can you tell us where you're from?" Xiaoyu found a place to sit down, ready to listen to the story of the big tree.

"If you want to hear, I can tell you."

"I can't remember exactly when it was a long time ago.

I was a small tree back then, well, probably about the same size as you are now.

I could still see a glowing thing above my head, like these little golden creatures on my body. ”

"The sun?" Xiaoyu immediately said.

"The sun? You call it the glowing thing, the sun.

At that time, I was only a little conscious, and I didn't know what it meant, but I could feel that there were a lot of creatures like me, and some different creatures around me. ”

"Do your kind have the same consciousness as you? And what do those different creatures look like? Zhang Heng sat down next to Xiaoyu and asked in a comfortable posture.

"Probably not."

"Oh? Wow, you're the only one in your tree? Xiaoyu asked.

"Probably, I don't know why I changed this way, maybe it's because I have a pond of liquid like this in a tree hole next to me."

Zhang Heng gasped when he heard this, the essence of a pond, I rub it, is it so much?

"You've absorbed all the liquid?"

"No, I just had one root that touched the pool, and I don't know what the other creatures were called, but they were big and small, some of them would eat our leaves, and some of them would eat those that ate leaves."

Zhang Heng paused, quickly took out a dinosaur album and opened it and asked, "Like this?" ”

"Uh, yes, is it true that such animals still live in the outside world?"

"No, it's been extinct for tens of millions of years."

"Well, it's been tens of millions of years. I don't know how long it is in the tens of millions of years, but it sounds like a long way off. ”

"Sss Zhang Heng and Xiaoyu suddenly reacted, and immediately gasped, Damn, this big tree has lived for tens of millions of years, your sister, this is a living fossil.

"Then do you know why you ended up here?" Zhang Heng asked, if there are living fossils, of course, you have to ask what happened back then.

"Back then?" The big tree was silent for a moment, as if remembering something.

After a long time, Zhang Heng and the others heard the words of the big tree again: "I only remember that one day, two suns appeared in the sky, one sun fell and hit the ground, and then there was a shaking, and the ground cracked.

There was a huge crack around me, I fell, and the liquid poured down, and then I couldn't see the sun again. ”

"I thought I was going to die because I felt myself slowly starting to weaken and I felt hungry, like the kind of eating you have in your consciousness. But luckily, one of my branches seemed to suck something, and then slowly reached over, and I think it was the liquid that I was sucking at that time. ”

"I survived for a long time by absorbing these liquids, until one day, it seemed to light up all around, yes, those little golden creatures around you."

Zhang Heng and Xiaoyu glanced at each other again, their eyes were full of shock, is this golden beetle also a living fossil, I went, and it is of great research value to take it out casually.

"I slowly started to grow and grow, and my roots started to stretch out in all directions, and then I found a few more little pools like this.

I collected all the liquid and stored it in my tree hollow.

Then one day, as if there was a leak all around, it began to pour water into it. ”

"I was scared at first, but eventually the water stopped, probably below the current hole, and then slowly receded."

"Brother Heng, why didn't this water fill this cave passage?" Xiaoyu turned her head and asked when she heard this.

Zhang Heng thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's because of the gas, you know the bubbles, if the gas is not soluble in water, it will always exist like this, and then the big tree may have photosynthesis, and there may be other things mixed in the water, I just guess casually, just listen to it." ”

Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, yes, you didn't know you could talk so much.
