I immediately broke off a branch and licked it lightly with my tongue, it really tasted sweet, on such a desert island, I didn't expect such a bizarre thing to happen.

"What kind of tree is this?" I asked.

But the one-eyed dragon shook his head, he had never seen such a tree, and judging by the appearance of the tree, it might be an alien species.

"It may be that the seabirds ate the fruit of this tree somewhere else and then came to the island, and the flesh was digested and the seeds were left on the island with the bird's droppings, and then the seeds slowly germinated and grew into what they are now." "A lot of woods are formed like this. ”

I looked again, and the trees were not straight, but curved, and at first glance I thought they were huge shrubs, but from the trunk I could see that the trees had grown for more than a thousand years.

The brown bark was solid and hard, the trunk was three or four meters long, the leaves were so lush that there was hardly sunlight here, and some of the roots were already exposed to the ground, crawling on the ground like pythons.

"These trees are more than a thousand years old, and you see, except for this tree, which grows very luxuriantly, the other trees here are so small and thin, it seems that this tree has almost taken all the nutrients in the soil." I said, pointing to the trees.

"Whatever, it's sweet anyway, and it's definitely not going to taste like this." Shanzi was bold, he still tore off a piece of tender bark and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

"That's right, sweet!" I immediately remembered what Zheng Hongyang said to Chun Nier, "Half sweet, half salty, sacrifice the altar under the canopy!" ”

"What's going on here." Shanzi smacked his lips and said, "I don't think it refers to these trees, is it possible that these trees still have a salty taste?" With that, he spat out the bark of the tree, which was only a fiber in his mouth.

"Don't say it, it's really possible." I looked around and said to them, "Let's not let go of any tree, and when we see one, we will taste what the bark tastes like, and if there is anything salty, then we will almost find the entrance." ”

"What entrance?" The old man Gong is quite tall, and when I said this, I immediately became interested, "I just said that you are definitely not ordinary people passing by this Ghost Gate Island, what are you looking for?" ”

I regretted my abruptness, they all looked at the old man Gong, and I quickly interrupted, "Say whatever you want, you can stay here if it's okay, and I'll use the radio transmitter to help you contact a boat, and you get out of here quickly." ”

When the old man heard me say this, he immediately begged: "Don't, I'm all such a handful of bones, it's better to follow you, I don't say anything and don't ask anything, don't let me stay here by myself, if you don't make it happen, something evil will happen to you on the front foot and back foot, it looks pretty crazy here!" With that, he looked around nervously.

"If you want to follow, don't talk too much!" Qin Wu didn't like him very much, he glared at him angrily and walked forward, we didn't have time to grind with the old man of the palace, he would follow him if he wanted to, anyway, he was at best just a person we saved casually.

We walked slowly into the sheltered woods, which were so damp that we were already sweating before we had gone far, but we had to use a stupid way to find the entrance.

When we see a tree, we go up and cut a piece of fresh bark and lick it, sometimes we don't feel at ease, for fear that if we miss a tree, a tree will be checked by several people.

"Lai, was that what you did when you came?" Shanzi was a little impatient, and he asked Qin Wu.

Qin Wu said: "Don't call me an old lai! My name is Qin Wu! Sue you, I can't remember it at all, it was also such a desert island at that time, we were brought up by the three artillery at that time, and then the specific location is really not remembered, it's been twenty-five years! ”

Shanzi pursed his lips after hearing this, "If you don't remember, you can't remember, if you change your name, you feel different, and you're not a barefoot doctor!" ”

Qin Wu glanced at him, didn't bother to pay attention to him, he didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward.

We searched for tree after tree, but as we walked through the woods, we didn't find a single tree that was salty.

"Did we drop any of them?" Qin Wu said, "Can't you go back again?" ”

"I'm tired, go back?!" Shanzi's injury was just right, and the consumption of his body just now was very large, so he sat on the ground with his ass, "Lao Tzu can't do it, I have to rest for a while." ”

He didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, sat on the ground with his butt, and then leaned against a stone, and when he raised his eyes to look casually, he found that there was a tree in the distance.

"Look, there's another one over there! It's so big! Shanzi shouted.

We looked in the direction he was pointing, and there was a huge tree growing on the shore of the sea, and it was so lush that it was almost ten times the size of this tree here!

"Hurry up and check it out!" Before I could finish my sentence, I ran towards the tree, and its canopy was so large that it looked like a canopy from afar!

That's right, it's the canopy! Altar under the canopy!

The more I looked, the more excited I became, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace, "Hurry up, everyone!" ”

We rushed to the shore and found that this tree was really so big, and unlike other trees, it was quite straight.

Without saying a word, Shanzi stepped forward and got a piece of bark and tasted it, "Damn, it's still sweet!" ”

I was immediately a little disappointed after hearing this, could it be that the three artillery members were wrong when they heard those archaeological team members? No, something must have gone wrong.

The tree that grows on the shore is sweet, so what is salty? I kept pondering, and in an instant, it dawned on me, by the way, the sea is salty!

"This is it, absolutely here!" I began to get excited, there was a huge stone next to this tree, but it had been blown away by the external force, so this must be the hole that my grandfather led people to destroy.

"Half sweet refers to this tree, half salty refers to seawater, and canopy refers to this canopy, this must be the entrance!" I said excitedly.

"Well, I'm kind of impressed, it should be here." Qin Wu also looked up at his surroundings, and he slowly became familiar with it.

"But where is the entrance, and I remember that Chuniel said that there is another altar, and where is the altar?" Shanzi said.

Then the one-eyed dragon cried out, "What sound?!" ”

Immediately we heard some small rattling sounds, like the sound of a snake as it walked through the fallen leaves.

Before we could figure out what it was, Old Man Gong was tightly wrapped around his ankle by a vine-like branch and thrown into the air!
