Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sycamore Sacred Tree
The speed of the blue bird is very fast, Xiao Du and Liu Yi tried their best to keep up, and it is also the result of the blue bird deliberately slowing down, Xiao Du and the others are not weak in cultivation, and the speed is not slow, but it is obviously too much worse than the blue bird.
The blue bird has been flying forward, Xiao Du and the others have been running, and gradually, the three of them have lost their direction, but the trees are getting thicker and taller, and the primeval forest is becoming denser and denser.
The forest on the Magic Island is luxuriant, because it is sealed, the vitality of heaven and earth is very strong, thousands of years of trees are everywhere, covering the sky and the sun, in the dense forest bottom, except for some mushrooms and lichens, no other plants survive.
At first, there would still be sunlight shining through the leaves in the forest that the three of them passed, but later they entered the deepest part of the magic island in a primitive old forest composed of all thousand-year-old trees, and the trees directly blocked the sunlight, which looked very gloomy.
Along the way, Xiao Du and the others were surprisingly smooth, although there was often the roar of powerful beasts in their ears, but Xiao Du and they all avoided it, and did not directly face it, obviously the blue bird was too familiar with the magic island, just like his own back garden, and he was very clear about the habitat of the fierce beasts.
Finally, leaving the oppressive forest, the golden sunlight reappeared, and at this moment the three of them had reached the bottom of a cliff.
The cliff is extremely high, and the top cannot be seen at a glance, and the cliff wall is steep, like a broadsword plunged straight into the magic island.
Looking straight up at the daylight, it was already noon, and the cliff gave people a feeling of unattainable.
In the middle of the cliff, a two-meter-thick black tree root is embedded in it, straight up the cliff wall, until it is halfway through, hundreds of meters up, and the branches grow out of the cliff.
However, this earth-shattering divine tree does not have a lush canopy, it is completely composed of very few branches, and when viewed from below, it towers into the sky, and its black body is covered with complex and incomprehensible lines, as if it is cast in molten iron.
Xiao Du was puzzled, when he entered the Magic Island, he had paid attention to the terrain of the Magic Island, maybe it was too far away, and he didn't see this towering cliff at that time.
Looking at this scene, there is no doubt that it is shocking, this is a kind of "potential" deterrence, no matter who faces such a cliff, they will feel powerless.
"Could it be...... This is...... How can this be so tall, this ...... I'm afraid there are already tens of thousands...... No, hundreds of thousands of years...... Could it be...... Sycamore Ancestral Tree?" Solo couldn't speak, his eyes widened, his mouth could have stuffed an egg, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Liu Yi was also shocked, he remembered some ancient classics in the Void Heaven Realm.
"Yes, this is sycamore wood, I have seen the description in the family classics, the body is covered with chaotic patterns, black branches, and the texture of the knife and axe is difficult to hurt......"
"Legend has it that the Sycamore Ancestral Tree has been eliminated in the ancient war, how can there be a Sycamore Ancestral Tree here?" Liu Yi muttered distractedly.
"The sycamore tree has a branch every ten thousand years, and when it is accompanied, there is a phoenix to inhabit ......"
"If it weren't for the Sycamore Ancestral Tree, how would it grow into this situation?"
"Could it be that this is the rebirth of the Wutong Ancestral Tree's Nirvana, or is it the stump left by the Ancestral Tree?"
Stump ?......
Xiao Du lost his mind, and the tree in front of him was actually related to the legendary Wutong ancestral tree.
According to legend, Pangu opened the world and ten thousand beasts were derived, but then I don't know what happened, the earth suffered a catastrophe, and the living beings were extinct.
The Wutong ancestral tree, according to legend, is a century-old creature with Nuwa, accompanied by a phoenix, carrying the atmospheric luck of the human race.
Of course, these are already ethereal legends, no less unreliable than gods and demons, but the influence of the Sycamore Ancestral Tree is needless to say, and it is the most ancient tree in heaven and earth.
Soon, the three of them came to their senses, and there was no doubt that the giant tree in front of them was a sycamore tree, but it would not be a sycamore ancestral tree, because the legend of the sycamore ancestral tree was too long, and it was doubtful whether it existed.
However, even if it is not a Sycamore Ancestral Tree, this tree is definitely shocking, even if it is a sect leader level figure in the Void Heaven Realm, I am afraid that when he sees this wood, he will probably lose his mind and be shocked.
Soon, the shock of the three turned into surprise, and they all thought of Phoenix!
It is rumored that the monk Sanxiu found the trace of the phoenix a few days ago, which is on a cliff, is it the cliff in front of him?
If there is really a phoenix on the magic island, then it must be nesting here, the phoenix bird, non-sycamore wood does not nest, even if there are other sycamore trees, there is absolutely no such stout and old, here is the best choice for phoenix nesting.
Xiao Du looked at the blue bird with even more doubts in his eyes, what is the origin of the blue bird, how can he be so clear about these things, is the blue bird and the phoenix related?
Putting aside their doubts, the three of them began to worry, because this cliff was too high and steep to climb at all, and the three of them walked around the cliff and found that it was a lonely cliff, really like a sword, and there was no gentle road to go up at all.
The daylight shifted, and seeing that the opportunity was ahead, but there was nothing to be done, the three of them sat down in despair.
Salo was unwilling, he ran to the bottom of the cliff, clinging to the iron-like roots of the divine wood, running the cultivation methods of their forest clan, his face was red, and he tried his best, but unfortunately he didn't feel anything.
The forest clan has a special talent, can perceive the laws of plants, and is innate and close to nature, but the sycamore wood is too special, although there are also vicissitudes of life on the root that are enough to form for thousands of years, but they can't understand it at all.
"Bell!"
Saro was angry and punched the root of the divine wood, but the divine wood was harder than iron, and Saro grinned in pain and could not do anything.
"Damn!," Salo shouted.
The blue bird flew to Xiao Du's shoulder, and glanced at the three of them suspiciously, Xiao Du smiled and stroked the blue bird's head, and said, "It's a pity, there may be a big chance on this tree, but we can't go up at all." ”
The blue bird's eyes showed a sudden realization, and suddenly flapped its wings and flew high, rushing towards the top of the cliff.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Du hadn't asked clearly, the speed of the blue bird was unimaginably fast, and in an instant, it had disappeared into the eyes of the three of them like an arrow.
Liu Yi watched the blue bird fly away and smiled: "Maybe this bird can give us some surprises." ”
When the blue bird left, Salo smiled weakly, and suddenly remembered that if the phoenix land discovered by Sanxiu would not be able to go up at all, and he couldn't help but be relieved.
It is already an opportunity to see the Sycamore Sacred Tree, which is ancient in vicissitudes of life, giving people a sense of the heaviness of time.
Xiao Du and the three of them waited in place, and after a while, a shadow cast down, obscuring the daylight.
"It's changed?" The hot sunlight suddenly disappeared, and Solo looked up in confusion.
In fact, Xiao Du and Liu Yi had already stood up with solemn expressions and looked into the sky, only to see two black objects swooping towards the place where the three of them were.
It should be two huge birds, the birds swooped down quickly, and their bodies were also reflected in the eyes of the three people, and their wings alone were several meters wide, although they were not close, but their huge claws could be seen.
The three of them reacted quickly and were ready to fight, but at this time, the speed of the bird slowed down and slowly landed.
Xiao Du and the others didn't let down their guard, but just watched the raptor slow down and no longer be so nervous.
Two huge birds landed in front of Xiao Du and the three of them, these two birds are two eagle eagles, their body size is several times larger than that of ordinary eagles, the feathers of their bodies are all golden, and their eyes are full of divine light, which is obviously very powerful.
One of the eagle eagles jumped down a cyan bird on his back, it was the blue bird coming back, and the eyes of the two eagle eagles looking at the blue bird were all respectful.
The blue bird beckoned its wings to Xiao Du and motioned for him to come over.
Xiao Du was shocked, obviously, this was the "porter" "invited" by the blue bird.
Xiao Du cautiously stepped on the eagle's back, and when Salo saw this, he was full of joy and wanted to climb it, but was driven to the back of another eagle by the blue bird.
The bluebird chirped to the sky, and the two eagles swayed upward, slowly vibrating their huge wings.
