Chen Qiubai and Ma Ningyuan went all the way forward, and basically did not encounter any obstacles, but occasionally encountered some small beasts that did not have long eyes, and it basically took no effort

Killed.

Finally, when the two of them almost reached the top of the mountain, they suddenly found a very huge towering tree. I saw that the main trunk of this tree was almost ten meters long in diameter and the height of the tree

It's definitely more than a hundred meters, and maybe even taller. I saw that this tree was standing on the top of the mountain, which made it dark within a radius of dozens of meters

The light makes people look strangely scary. It's like a devil-infested Black Forest, it's very scary, and there is some darkness in the trees from time to time

The shadows flickered, and it looked like demons were wandering around.

Chen Qiubai and Ma Ningyuan looked at this big tree and felt that this big tree was definitely worthy of the title of a thousand-year-old tree. This big tree must have grown for more than one year

It's been a thousand years, doesn't that mean that the two of them only need to cut off a branch from this tree, and that is exactly the thousand-year-old branch that the mission needs?

So Chen Qiubai said: "I think we should try to see if we can cut off a branch, and if we can cut it down, then we don't need to take the shepherd boy piccolo."

If you exchange it, you may be able to get a lot of benefits in this way. ”

Although Ma Ningyuan felt that he was so greedy, it was a little inappropriate to pick up such a small bargain. But if you don't take advantage of it, it's just a bastard, so you can only nod and agree

Chen Qiubai's opinion.

So Chen Qiubai and Ma Ningyuan each took out their swords and daggers, and then they each climbed the big tree and faced the branches one by one, and began to cut and chop.

I saw Chen Qiubai chopping down on a branch, only to hear a "whoop", but it turned out that the branch was not moving at all, but Chen Qiubai's hand holding the sword was bursting

Aches. The sword was as if it had been slashed at a stone, and it had no effect at all.

Looking at Ma Ningyuan's side again, it is a similar situation. Ma Ningyuan took out the dagger, and then cut down a branch with all his might, but he only heard a burst of "snort!" ”

The sound of rubbing, and then a closer look at the surface of the branch, there was not even a single mark of being cut.

Chen Qiubai was also a little anxious at this time, and shouted: "Ma Ningyuan, I am out of this branch, I don't know if you can cut it down?" ”

Ma Ningyuan shouted helplessly: "Don't mention it, I've been cutting for a long time, and I haven't even cut off a layer of skin, and now it seems that we want to get the branches by our own strength, that's also."

The only way to think of this is to exchange the flute. ”

Chen Qiubai still felt a little unwilling, but he couldn't think of any better way. So as soon as he was in a hurry, he slashed at the branch in three sections

He slashed it over, trying in vain to use the impact of the three-stage slash to cut off the branch.

However, this result disappointed Chen Qiubai again, only to hear another "boom", not only did the branches not be damaged at all, but gave birth to a more huge reaction

The power of the bullet. This huge rebound force was shocked to Chen Qiubai through the silver sword, and Chen Qiubai's center of gravity was originally unstable, plus he was subjected to such a large rebound force. So he

The whole body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell to the ground with a loud "pop", and the whole person fell top-heavy.

At this time, Ma Ningyuan, who was trying to cut the branches, heard that Chen Qiubai actually made such a big noise, and he also felt a little incredible, so he asked loudly: "Chen Qiu."

How about Bai, are you okay, are you hurt? ”

Chen Qiubai was already depressed to the extreme at this time, and said dejectedly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that people are old and useless!" Now even a tree branch is there

Chop constantly. ”

"This little brother, don't say that, you said that you are old at such a young age, and you are useless, so how can you make me an old man?" Chen Qiu's vernacular

After speaking, he only heard an old voice not far away, and then Chen Qiubai raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

I saw an old man who was only a little more than 1.5 meters long, wearing a sloppy and sloppy body, his clothes were also tattered, and he was holding a strange shape in his hand, which was extremely twisted

Curved crutches. The cane looked like an extremely twisted but still alive old tree root, and the man had a lot of wooden ornaments, if you looked closely

Including the hairpin on the head, the buttons on the clothes, the belt that ties the clothes, and the wooden shoes worn are all made of wood.

All these things added up, giving Chen Qiubai a strong hint, as if the old man's whole person was made of wood. But this old man is weird

Strange at all, his whole person's momentum is absolutely extraordinary. made Chen Qiubai feel that this old man who was about to do anything looked like a monster and a fairy. As for strength, that

It is definitely very powerful, even if Chen Qiubai and Ma Ningyuan join forces, I am afraid they are far from his opponents.

So Chen Qiubai smiled and said to the old man: "Hello old man, may I ask what is your name, old man?" What are you doing here? ”

The old man frowned and thought for a while, then said, "What is my name?" Well, I really can't remember this, I'm afraid I've already had the name

I forgot, but if you want, you can call me Aoki. As for why I'm here, it's because it's my home, so of course I'm here, you guys

Still have questions? ”

Chen Qiubai hurriedly got up from the ground and made a gesture to Aoki and said: "It turned out to be Mr. Aoki, who has been admired for a long time, and the old man is famous all over the world, and no one in the world knows who is not."

Xiao, I really admired the name for a long time, I was fortunate to see it today, I was really fortunate to have three lives, and you said that this is the old gentleman's home, and the old gentleman is naturally reasonable here, old man

It's no problem if you want to stay here for as long as you want, hehehehe......" Chen Qiubai was also afraid of angering this old man, so he tried his best to say something good and pat his ass, which is the so-called thousand

It's definitely not wrong to say more nice things.

"Yes!" The old man was indeed shameless, when Chen Qiubai patted his fart, he actually showed an expression of enjoyment, and after Chen Qiubai's farts were finished, he spoke

said: "Where, where, I am just a little famous, and I can let everyone in the world hear about it, so I really have to thank everyone in the world for looking down on me." ”
