Chapter 657: Growing Babies in the Trees
Chapter 657 Baby Tree
Falling rapidly, the speed is getting faster and faster, if you don't want to find a way, Xiao Zhan and I are afraid that we will have to explain directly here.
At that time, seeing that the situation was critical, I could only quickly draw the merciful sword and slash around aimlessly.
Not to mention, I found a solution by mistake, I extended the blade of the merciless sword, the blade pierced into the trunk of the ancient tree, and then I held the hilt tightly, and pressed the long sword down, so that as the blade of the sword slashed down along the trunk of the ancient tree, it also cushioned the force of our fall, and finally we were able to land safely, although there was still a great impact, and we were smashed, but it was much better than being directly smashed into a meatloaf.
After rolling on the ground several times in a row, when we recovered and got up from the ground, we couldn't help but be shocked by the scene around us.
Before that, we had no idea that the interior of this stone mountain would be such a scene, everything here can only be described as strange, everything is beyond our imagination.
First of all, what we see is a fluorescent and colorful world, which is like an elven world, where every grass and tree spontaneously emits a crystal clear light, which makes the whole world clear and bright, and there is no dull feeling.
Then, when we looked closer, we saw that we were surrounded by a crystalline glowing meadow, and the soil beneath it was moist and soft, and the dirt was full of roots like fishing nets, all of which came from the big tree in the center.
At this time, we fell to the ground, and when we looked up, we realized that the ancient tree was so huge, and it was not hanging in the air, it was just that the roots were growing relatively high, and some of the roots were already hanging on the ground.
The diameter of the ancient tree is more than two zhang, and this is only the main stem part above the roots, and further down, how thick the trunk is, it is impossible to visually detect, because it is all obscured by the roots.
The thick roots, like a huge and bloated python, and like a long bridge across the sky, grow obliquely from the trunk of the tree, extending horizontally, and in the process of extension, many small roots grow on the roots and burrow into the soil, and then the main body of the root whiskers extends all the way forward, and finally leads to the edge of the stone wall, and burrows into the stone wall.
Of course, more of the roots burrow into the dirt diagonally halfway through, creating a natural sloping wooden slide.
The ancient tree also emitted fluorescence all over its body, including the roots, but these fluorescences were not dazzling, and they were very soft, so we could clearly see the whole picture of the ancient tree.
And then in this process, the most shocking thing for us was that we found that there were milky white cysts hanging on the roots of the ancient tree, as well as on the trunk and branches of the tree, and then, at the beginning, because we were too far away, and the matter was urgent, so we couldn't see what was in those cysts, and now we fell to the ground, and then we leaned over to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that the milky white cysts on the roots of the tree were translucent, filled with water, and then in the water, there were quietly curled up with a big head and a small tail, like a small chick, unformed fetus, the fetus had an umbilical cord on its belly, and the air fetus was connected to the roots of the cysts, and finally connected to the roots of the ancient book, absorbing nutrients from it.
These are still close to the ground cysts, the fetus in them are relatively primitive, just grown not long ago, along the roots to climb up, found that the fetus in the cyst is more and more complete, and finally to the top of the roots, to the main body of the trunk, found that the cyst is already a fully formed baby, that look, as long as the cyst will come back to life.
This situation shocked me beyond measure, at this time I was even stupid enough to see that this ancient tree is actually a baby tree, it is specially used to produce babies, and the entire Jiuli tribe is actually made by this big tree, including Jiuli Xiaozhan.
Anyway, Xiao Zhan herself was a little stunned when she saw this scene, she looked at all this in a daze, reached out and gently touched the baby's cyst, and asked me after a long time: "This, this is actually our mother?" ”
I looked at her with some sympathy, nodded and said, "This tree can be called the mother tree, in fact, the people of your tribe were born from it, not from the love of the husband and wife. ”
But how is this possible? Trees, why do they give birth to so many human children? Xiao Zhan was confused.
"I don't know," I said, shaking my head, walking to the side, looking down at the thick trunk from above, lost in confusion.
"What are you thinking? Did you find something? Seeing this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but come over and ask.
I thought about it for a moment, and then said to her: "This tree is about the same as the peanut in my original world, only much bigger, I don't know why it can produce human babies, but according to my observation, these children are formed at the roots first, and then slowly move to the vicinity of the main trunk, but near the main trunk is still a hundred meters away from the canopy, how did these children get to the canopy?" According to my previous observations, it was the trunks on the top, not the roots, that gave the couple their children. ”
"There seem to be some babies in the canopy, too," Xiao Zhan looked up at the canopy, and couldn't help but frown.
"Just go up and have a look," I said, pulling the little bowl to her and motioning for her to lie on my back.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhan was a little embarrassed, after all, she had been letting me carry it, she felt like a burden, but there was no way to do it, who made her strength limited?
So at that moment, she obediently climbed onto my back, wrapped her delicate arms around my neck, and whispered in my ear: "Yiji, will you always be good to me?" ”
"What do you say, fool?" I laughed, said no more, and stabbed my sword into the trunk of the tree, using my hands and feet, and climbed upward.
Then, after I climbed up for a while, I suddenly felt a burst of heat fall down, and I shivered all over, and I couldn't help but jump back and jump down from the trunk, and then when I came down, I looked at the trunk again, and I was a little shocked, because I found that there was a big mouth on the trunk, and some hot red liquid was flowing out of the mouth, like blood, and then from the hole I had pierced to climb up, and such blood also flowed.
"Wouldn't it? Could this tree be flesh and blood, not a wooden structure? "This situation completely subverted my concept of living things, and I couldn't help but jump to the ground, raise my sword and cut off an arm-thick root, and then after the root broke, some blood-red liquid immediately flowed out of it, and at the same time, I touched the core of the root again, and I found that the core was soft, and it was indeed flesh and blood, not wood.
