As soon as I smelled the rancid smell, I wondered to the extreme, why did the bark of the tree emit such a smell when the pine branches and leaves of the millennium were lush and did not wither?

That Wang Chuyao saw me stunned next to the tree, and said excitedly: "Brother Jiu, have you thought it through?" ”

I turned my head and glanced at her, but I didn't speak, I hugged the thousand-year-old pine on all fours, kicked my feet together, and slowly climbed up, about two or three meters away, the doubts in my heart became heavier and heavier, this tree body is strange, because I found that where I was, there was a faint fragrance, and there was no rancid smell at all, what is the reason for this?

As we all know, some old trees will emit a smell themselves, some are the erosive smell of sewage, and some are a fragrance, and this thousand-year-old pine actually presents two smells, right?

Thinking of this, I sniffed at the bark, and the rancid smell was particularly faint, but on the contrary, the fragrance was getting stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but take a few more breaths.

Is my guess true? What's in this tree?

I pressed the bark hard, it was a little hard, and it didn't feel sticky.

At that moment, I shouted to Wang Chuyao: "Chuyao, shine the flashlight on the left side." ”

She hummed and shone the light of the torch on the left, and I saw that the tree was in two colors, the right side was close to brown, and the left side was darker, close to dark red.

This discovery made me more and more convinced that there should be something in the tree, and I knocked on the body of the tree with my hand, and there was a sound of 'dong, dong' sound of solid wood. What's going on? How can it be this kind of sound, if there is something in the tree, this position should be hollow, and the sound coming out should also be hollow.

I was stunned for a while, and then knocked on the other side, which was also the sound of solid wood, which made me really can't understand what's going on, and I can't help but think, am I suspicious?

In desperation, I suppressed the doubts in my heart and continued to climb up, I don't know if it was the low temperature at night or what's going on, the more I climbed, the lower the temperature, so I couldn't help but shiver several times.

Soon, I climbed to a position of eight or nine meters, where there were several arm-thick branches, the red cloth hung on the left side, and below was a thick branch, and I looked at it roughly, which should be able to bear my weight.

So, I climbed in that direction, and when I saw that I was going to get to that position, I was happy in my heart, and I said that this thousand-year-old pine can't be climbed, and now I climb to this position, isn't it okay?

While I was secretly rejoicing, I suddenly heard the cry of an old eagle (gua), 'Gou, chop, chop' several times in succession. My heart sank, there is a saying on our side, the old eagle screams, and a life is lost, where does this old eagle cry for no reason? Besides, the pine nut said that there were swallows on the tree, how could there be an old eagle?

I was stunned for a moment, and then looked around, because it was a little far from the ground, the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker, and I could only see some branches vaguely, and as for the bird's nest and the old owl, I didn't see it at all.

"No matter, take off the red cloth first." I muttered a word and crawled towards the branch on the left.

When I climbed to that position, I looked at it, and the branches of the tree were very strange, a bit like the bend of the plough that we ploughed over there, and it was in a semicircle, and the red cloth was just at the bend, and if you wanted to take the red cloth off, you had to stand in that place.

I thought about it, climbed a little more distance, clinging to the tree with both hands, and stepping tentatively on the branch, which was very sturdy and should be fine.

"Brother Nine, be careful, don't fall down." That Wang Chuyao shouted on the ground.

I yelled at her, got it. The other foot also stepped down, and I kicked hard, but the branch did not shake, which made me completely relieved, and slowly let go of my hand and put my feet on the branch.

Frankly, standing on the branch, I broke out in a cold sweat, one is that there are no branches and leaves around the branch, not even a place to grasp it, and the other is that the branch is semicircular, and I am worried about slipping down. If I do slide, I will be here to tell, you must know that I am now about eight or nine meters above the ground, and I am two and a half stories high.

I took a cautious step forward, the branches were well balanced, and they didn't shake as I stepped on them, which loosened my nerves a little, and slowly walked towards the red cloth.

After walking about seven or eight steps, the red cloth was getting closer and closer, and I saw two red ropes above the red cloth, one on the left and one on the left and right, hanging the red cloth on the branch at my feet.

"Chu Yao, shine the flashlight on that red cloth." I bowed my head and shouted at Wang Chuyao.

"Good!" As she spoke, she shone her flashlight on the red cloth.

I took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves and walked in that direction again. Since the red cloth hung in the bend, I was afraid that the place would slip, so I didn't dare to rush over, so I could only squat down and sit on the branch with my feet apart, intending to move slowly with my buttocks, so that it would be safer, after all, safety first.

Not to mention, this method is very easy to use, although it is a little slower, but it is very safe.

Soon, I moved my body to the position of the red cloth, and I saw that the rope tied with the red cloth was as thick as a thumb, which was compared with the dragon rope that tied the coffin, and I reached out and pulled the rope, which was very tight, and I looked at the interface, it was a dead knot, and if I wanted to untie it, it would take some time.

Seeing this, I regretted it for a while, I knew that if I wanted to take off the red cloth, I should have brought the dagger on Chen Tiannan's body, as long as the rope was cut, I could take off the red cloth, where did I need to untie the rope.

I sighed, and stretched my hands towards the rope, which felt a little wet and sticky, and I didn't think about it so much, and after tinkering with the rope for a while, it was so hard to solve it, and several times because of the excessive force, I almost fell down, and I was so scared that I grabbed the rope to death.

Now, I was a little troubled, the knot of this rope was very tight, and it took me half a day to untie it by hand. If it was normal, it would be fine, but now the situation is different, the Songzi bodyguards are still waiting for my news, if I waste too much time here, I'm afraid we won't be able to get to the tent before the ugly time.

What to do? What to do? I was a little anxious, and I couldn't help but break the knot with all my strength, but it was still like that, and I couldn't untie it.

I was stunned for a moment, and hit the idea on the red cloth, which one end could not be untied, and the other end of the red cloth might be untied, no matter which end I untied, just take off the red cloth.

So, I pulled the rope up and prepared to untie the interface on the other end of the red cloth.

At this moment, the old eagle in the sky screamed even more fiercely, 'chop, chop, chop', which was particularly poignant, as if it was heralding something.

"Brother Nine, be careful of your head." That Wang Chuyao screamed on the ground.
