Bai Xiaofei was about to step forward to open the fruit, suddenly, boom, with a violent roar, the fruit cracked suddenly, and an object **** came out, and in the deafening roar, it flew straight into the sky!

It's the Iron Tree!

No, now it's not called an iron tree, but a fighter!

After the evolution of the parent tree, the Iron Tree has now formed the most common twin-engine jet fighter on the earth, with a pointed nose, a streamlined fuselage, a delta wing, and a vertical tail - there is a cockpit in the nose, who is not Xiaohui sitting in it?

Iron Tree circled the air a few times, and landed towards the island, and when he was about to land, the delta wing wings suddenly retracted, clicked, and deformed for a while, turning into the appearance of a machine qì - Transformers?! Decepticons?!

The parent tree seemed to guess what Bai Xiaofei was thinking: "That's right, when I evolved the Iron Tree, it was based on the anime Transformers on the earth, and today's Iron Tree can be transformed into a vehicle to drive on land, or it can be transformed into a fighter jet to fight in the air." ”

Bai Xiaofei looked at the iron tree, which was about 4 or 5 meters tall, and stepped forward to pat the angular body: "Xiaohui, are you okay inside?" ”

Xiaohui waved his hand to Bai Xiaofei through the glass hatch: "I'm fine, it's very comfortable inside, this cabin has a constant temperature and humidity, and there is plenty of oxygen." ”

Bai Xiaofei looked at Tieshu again--well, it should be called Tieshu's battle mecha now--and saw that there were missiles and cannons hanging on it, and a sword with an ancient shape on his back, he pointed to these weapons: "Can these weapons be used?" ”

Tetsuki replied voluntarily: "Yes, missiles and shells are automatically produced by a part of my body, and if they are consumed, I can also make up for them automatically by swallowing metal substances." ”

Xiao Wei next to her sighed and gently pulled Bai Xiaofei: "Bai Xiaofei, I think Tie Shu's attitude is a little strange - it's not my delusion." ”

Bai Xiaofei also felt that Tie Shu was a little weird, but where the weirdness was, he couldn't say it--wait, it was the tone! Tieshu's tone when he answered his question just now was different from before! Although the feeling is subtle, it does exist!

Tie Shu's attitude towards Bai Xiaofei can be called respectful.

At this time, the mother tree said calmly: "No, this is not your illusion, the iron tree has been made by me in the process of evolution, and now, like the corpse brother, it consciously obeys the orders of the master mother as soon as it is born. ”

Bai Xiaofei was stunned, but immediately understood, the evolution of the Iron Tree through the Mother Tree is like a rebirth, its appearance and functions have been reshaped, and even with it, even the mood and feelings, have also been moved by the Mother Tree - what a magical Mother Tree!

The mother tree shook its branches and leaves: "The master mother Xiaohui is an ordinary person, in this other world needs the protection of the iron tree, I don't allow it to have any other thoughts, so, when I evolved, by the way, it evolved and reshaped, although it still has its own consciousness and can think for itself, but loyalty to the master mother Xiaohui has become the first rule in its mind." Bai Xiaofei and Xiaowei, you are Xiaohui's closest friends, and naturally Tieshu also respects you, truly from the heart. ”

This is an unexpected joy, Bai Xiaofei was originally haunted by Xiaohui's unavoidable entry into the iron tree, and the situation was like imprisonment, but now after the mother tree, the iron tree has completely turned into his own, which is a great thing.

Tieshu hummed, "It's my honor to serve my mother, Xiaohui, and her friends. ”

Yes, yes, this iron tree is like a mecha with artificial intelligence, usual activities and battles, without Xiaohui's every move to be controlled, but it is extremely loyal, it is really wonderful, don't jump.

Bai Xiaofei looked at the Iron Tree carefully, and felt that it was more suitable for small battles than the huge Giant Spirit God, the Giant Spirit God was too big, its movements were relatively much more clumsy, and the independent energy supply was a big problem that could not be solved.

Thinking of energy, Bai Xiaofei hurriedly asked, "How to solve the energy problem of this iron tree?" ”

The mother tree said: "The iron tree hunts other creatures, and it can be converted into energy, and at the same time, I also let it evolve a part of the function of absorbing solar energy, but the sunrise and sunset in this other world are extremely abnormal, otherwise, this iron tree can take the master mother and Bai Xiaofei and you fly directly away from the acid lake." ”

Bai Xiaofei really had this plan, and he asked in frustration, "How long can the Iron Tree continue to fly?" ”

The mother tree said: "The time to stay in the air is 30 minutes at a time, but this requires a lot of supplementary food, and if you are hungry, you can only fight on land." ”

Bai Xiaofei scratched his head: "Sure enough, it won't work to fly directly away from the acid lake." Mother tree, since Xiaohui and Xiaowei have already evolved, then we don't need to delay much, let's set sail directly and leave the sour lake. But you, Mother Tree, are so big in size, how can you leave this sour lake with us? ”

The Mother Tree said, "Wait a minute. ”

I saw that the male face on the trunk of the mother tree closed his eyes, and slowly disappeared into the trunk, and after a while, there was a sound of swish, and the mother tree first bloomed a lot of flowers, and then as a result, these fruits did not give birth to a corpse brother, but fell to the ground, and the mother tree said: "Master mother, this is the food prepared for you."

Then, the branches and roots of the parent tree all shrank back into the body, and the body of the tree turned into a trunk that looked like it had been cut down by hand, and a hole slowly cracked in the center of the trunk, and inside was a small sapling that did not grow much longer than a chopstick.

The sapling made a soft voice: "I am the body of the mother tree, if I can return to the earth, to the lord, I can grow into a towering tree again." I have now exhausted all my energy, and I have fallen into a long sleep, in which I am weakest and weaker, as vulnerable as a real sapling. ”

Click, the hatch of the iron tree opened, Xiao Hui stretched out his hand, picked up the little sapling, and said softly: "Mother tree, thank you for helping us, don't worry, I will protect you." With that, he took the seedlings of the mother tree and returned to the iron tree.

The mother tree seedling finally said to Bai Xiaofei: "I will leave you a final gift, which will be padded outside the iron ship wall, which can alleviate the corrosion of the acid lake." Then, pulling down the leaves, no longer moving, the mother tree fell into a long sleep, in fact, because it had exhausted its internal breath and entered a state of turtle breath.

In an uproar, the trunk left by the mother tree suddenly cracked from it, automatically forming plates of different sizes and lengths, which was the last gift that the mother tree had said, at this time, the island that originally relied on the root system of the mother tree was collapsing, and Bai Xiaofei, Xiaowei, and Xiaohui hurriedly jumped on the iron boat.

Bai Xiaofei put the board that the torso of the mother tree was broken down into and put it on the outer wall of the ship, without the help of any tools, it was tightly sealed, among them, there were two wooden oars, Bai Xiaofei raised the oars, and waved his hand in the direction that the mother tree had sent to reconnoiter the flying corpse brother before: "Go!" We'll find the other side! ”

Xiao Hui also commanded Tie Shu to raise another oar: "We must not live up to the sacrifice of the Mother Tree, we will definitely be able to leave this damn sour lake, leave this damn other world!" ”

Xiao Wei fluttered her huge wings and flew into the air, tied the iron boat with a cable, and dragged the iron boat forward in the air, while Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Wei paddled hard at the stern.

Iron ship, set off steadily.

Day after day, no, there is no clear time to measure in another world, Bai Xiaofei can only estimate the time by himself, if according to the time on the earth, the three of them have been floating in the sour lake for more than 20 days on an iron boat, and until now, they still haven't found the shadow of the land.

There was a thud, and Bai Xiaofei looked sideways, but it was a piece of handguard on the starboard side of the iron ship, which could not withstand the continuous corrosion of the acid lake, and finally rotted and fell off.

This is not the first handguard that the iron ship has fallen off, although the handguard formed by the mother tree before it sleeps has the ability to resist corrosion, it is not forever impervious - the previous trunk of the mother tree can remain uncorroded for a long time, and that is because the mother tree is constantly using its own qi to maintain and repair the corroded parts of the acid lake.

Now that the mother tree body has been held by Xiao Hui, sleeping in the Iron Tree Mecha, the handguard is just a dead wood that has lost its vitality, and under the continuous corrosion of the acid lake, it has been able to hold on to it until now, which is quite remarkable.

As soon as the handguard was gone, the iron boat was directly exposed to the acid lake, and Bai Xiaofei's sharp vision had already seen that under the continuous corrosion of the acid lake, many micropores had appeared on the originally smooth outer wall of the iron boat.

Bai Xiaofei was worried for a while, as long as the iron ship was corroded out of a small hole, the whole boat would sink to the bottom of the lake!

However, until now, there is still no shadow of the land.

In the air, a small black dot staggered over, it was Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei fluttered her wings and landed on the bow of the boat, her steps staggered a little, Xiao Hui hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "Have you found land?" ”

Xiaowei shook her head in frustration: "No, at a glance, except that the sour lake is the sour lake, no, this is not the sour lake, this is the sour sea!" We rowed for so long, but we still couldn't find land, and the sour sea was too big. ”

Bai Xiaofei smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's not that the sea of acid is too big, but that we have lost our way." Bai Xiaofei pointed to the sky: "The sun and starry sky in this world are completely chaotic, without any fixed trajectory, and the rotation is extremely abnormal. Previously, I had been using the method of inducing magnetic fields to determine the direction - speaking of which, I still learned this method from Linglong - but now it seems that even the geomagnetic field of this world is chaotic, and we have long lost our way. In fact, the faster we row, the farther we deviate. ”

Xiao Hui slammed the ship's slammed slammed into the boat: "This damn place! She looked at the fruit left by the mother tree in her arms - a pile of fruits is now only a dozen or so, fortunately the fruit grown by the mother tree is very magical, more than 20 days later, still bright and watery, a bite down, is a bag of sweet juice, eat a fruit immediately refreshed.

Xiao Hui opened the hatch and handed the two fruits to Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Wei respectively: "Eat it." Seeing that both of them shook her head, she hurriedly said: "Most of these fruits are eaten by me, who made me useless, I am still an ordinary person's body, you two just eat a little bit." However, looking for land and rowing iron boats, the main thing is to get close to the two of you, if you don't replenish your feet, will I and I be able to escape from this sour sea alone?! ”

Bai Xiaofei bit down and glanced at the few remaining fruits - alas, Xiaohui was right, even if these fruits were saved, everyone would die when the iron ship was eroded.

He reached out and took a fruit and handed it to Xiaowei: "Eat, eat to have the strength, and then go to explore the way." ”

Xiaowei took the fruit, swallowed it in a big gulp, and asked vaguely, "How to solve the direction problem?" If we don't find the right direction, no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain. ”

Bai Xiaofei suddenly turned around and asked Xiaohui: "Which direction do you think the land is?" ”

Xiaohui was stunned: "What--Bai Xiaofei, what are you messing around?!" How can you possibly find the right direction if you ask me like that? ”

Bai Xiaofei touched his chin: "I'm not messing around, I just want to use your intuition - doesn't it mean that women's intuition is extraordinarily supernatural?" ”

He raised his hand and interrupted Xiao Hui's question, which was about to erupt: "I'm not fooling around—because of the weirdness of this world, the methods we use to determine direction on Earth are ineffective, so the only thing we can rely on is 'luck'!" Don't underestimate luck, in fact, luck is also the external manifestation of a special law of the operation of the universe. The ancient Chinese said 'luck', that's it, the country has the fortune of the country, the people have the luck, when the luck comes, the mountains can't stop it, once the luck is lost, no matter how strong you are, how great the country, will be in a mess. ”

"Xiaohui, I have always felt that your luck is indeed good, and you are very protagonist, so you use your woman's unique intuition and luck to help us find the right direction to escape."

Xiao Hui stared, as if she wanted to give Bai Xiaofei a fried corn with sugar so that he could sober up, but after staring for a long time, she burst out laughing: "What nonsense - why don't you find Xiaowei and let her feel intuition?" ”

Before Bai Xiaofei could say anything, Xiaowei said lightly: "Because I am the body of a corpse brother, Xiaohui, you are the one who retains the identity of an ordinary person, whether it is intuition or luck, it must be the purest, and you will definitely be able to help us find the direction." ”

Xiao Hui spread his hands: "I was defeated by the two of you, okay, if you want me to say, land, in that direction." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed to the west.

Bai Xiaofei scratched his head: "Is it the West--we've been rowing south--Forget it, I said, just use Xiaohui's intuition and luck to fight." Xiaowei, let's go west. ”

Another day passed, during which Bai Xiaofei asked Xiaohui to guide the direction with her intuition from time to time, however, she still didn't see the land, and Xiaohui was about to collapse - she was worried that her "intuition" was actually pointing everyone to a point of no return, but Bai Xiaofei's encouraging eyes made her muster up the courage to point out directions that even she didn't understand again and again.

On this day, there was only the last fruit left in Xiaohui's arms, but everyone didn't care that the food was about to run out, the three of them were staring at the iron ship, on the starboard side, there was a pit corroded by the acid sea, the size of a palm, and there were many similar pits on the hull, but this was the largest one - the plates outside the current iron ship had already been completely corroded, and the iron ship itself was also in danger, large and small pits were all over the hull.

No one knows when the sea of acid will erode through the remaining thin layer of iron plates.

Xiao Hui suddenly handed the last remaining fruit to Xiao Wei: "Eat it, and then fly with Bai Xiaofei." ”

Bai Xiaofei shook his head: "No, Xiaowei, Xiaohui, both of you can fly, leave this iron ship, leave me, fly, you will definitely find land." ”

Xiaowei gritted her teeth and said, "I won't go-if you want to die, you will die together, Bai Xiaofei, do you think that we can live in this hellish world without you?" It's just early death and late death, just death together! ”

Bai Xiaofei said angrily: "Fart! To be able to live one is one! Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes, who are you two of mine, and you two want to die for me?! His tone softened: "Xiaowei, Xiaohui, you all have the ability to fly, do your best to fly, maybe, you can find land, and when the time comes, it will be too late to turn back and save me." After you leave the iron ship, the buoyancy increases, and I can row a little faster and hold on to this sour sea longer--"

The three of them were arguing, and suddenly, a huge black shadow swept from the bottom of the boat, and Tie Shu, unaffected by his feelings, immediately warned: "Be careful! There is danger approaching! ”

As soon as the Iron Tree's warning fell, with a bang, a huge silver glittering snake monster burst out of the sea of acid and smashed down on the iron ship!

Xiao Hui and Xiao Wei were taken aback, and they both took off into the air, among which Bai Xiaofei hugged Tie Shu, who had turned into a fighter, and also flew into the air.

There was a piercing sound of metal cracking, and under the weight of the serpentine monster, the iron boat that carried Bai Xiaofei and the other three people who had been rowing in the acid sea for more than a month was completely shattered, and it sank to the bottom of the acid sea without even a bubble.

Bai Xiaofei shouted: "Kill this snake-shaped monster!" Skinned it to make a raft! Its skin is resistant to the corrosion of the sea of acid! ”

Xiaowei and Xiaohui also came to their senses - by killing this basilisk, everyone had any hope of surviving in the acid sea.

Xiao Hui commanded Tie Shu to make a sharp turn in the air, with two snorts, the two missiles under the wings had **** out, and the serpentine monster missed a blow and was frustrated - there are rare creatures in this sour sea, and now he finally ran into three fat meals, and he was about to sink their ships to have a big meal, but he didn't expect that two of them could actually fly. Seeing that the meal was about to escape, it was pleasantly surprised that the food turned around and killed it again—and the serpentine monster stood up high and pounced on the three of them.
