Chapter 168: The Strange Tree of Life
It's just that the light is extremely weak, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er are both monks, and the lowest is also a Jindan-level monk, they wouldn't be able to see it at all.
In fact, the most important thing is the mountain wall of the Grand Canyon, which is almost closed here, and the gap is barely the thickness of a person's fingers, if it is not in this completely dark deep valley, put it outside, this bit of light even Zhang Xiaohu can't find it.
This is also the reason why for so many years, no one has been able to detect the strange light below, it is too narrow, and before it can get here, people are stuck.
The bottom is getting narrower and narrower, and if the explorer wants to continue, he can't do it at all, unless he can chisel this solid mountain wall, but this is not a problem for Zhang Xiaohu at all, and before he can make a move, Xiang'er pointed his hand, and the flying sword swished down, and a few clicks cut a big hole in the rock wall where two people passed.
The light came out, and it was like a fantasy below.
"It's so beautiful."
Xiang'er was almost stupid, looking at everything in front of her in a daze, and let Zhang Xiaohu take her to the ground slowly.
Breaking through the rock wall, there is a huge cave below, and there is a big tree in the cave, which is as thick as two people hugging each other, up to 100 meters, forming an umbrella shape.
The big tree is not like other trees, the branches are covered with leaves, but each branch hangs a soft branch, just like the willow tree, except that there are no green leaves, but it is full of colorful leaves.
The body, branches, and leaves of the trees all glow with a faint fluorescence, and the entire cave is reflected in a variety of colors.
The cave was warm and humid, and from time to time the breeze blew, and the soft branches swayed gently with the breeze, and the brilliance reflected on the mountain wall seemed to come alive, constantly flowing.
Xiang'er took a breath gently, and a fragrance went straight into her heart, and the whole person seemed to be light, with a feeling of fluttering immortals.
"What kind of tree is this?"
Zhang Xiaohu was a little stunned, he had walked a lot in the deep mountains and old forests, but this was the first time he had seen this strange tree.
Xiang'er put her arms around Zhang Xiaohu, rested her head on her shoulders, half-squinted her eyes, and said softly, "This should be the Tree of Life, but the ones on the ground are not so big, and they don't fluoresce, I don't know if it's mutated or the mutated on the ground."
It's a bit complicated to say, but it's not surprising to see this big tree, because it looks like this tree of life is much older than the ones on the ground.
Even the few life trees that are treasures in the Star Lord's Mansion are only more than thirty meters high, and the trees are less than one person to hug them, compared to them, this tree of life is like their ancestors, perhaps, those on the ground are really bred by this seed that inadvertently flowed out, Xiang'er thought.
Zhang Xiaohu took a breath, feeling light, but there seemed to be a special attraction that made people can't help but move forward.
Taking a step, there was a soft feeling under his feet, and there was a slight elasticity, Zhang Xiaohu looked down, the black and swarthy soil, as if he could step on the oil.
There were a lot of leaves scattered on the ground, and even if they fell, they still glowed slightly, and small insects burrowed in the black dirt.
Holding Xiang'er, Zhang Xiaohu walked forward, at this time Xiang'er was completely intoxicated by the beautiful scenery, raising her head and opening her small mouth, looking around in a daze.
The little rabbit jumped out of Xiang'er's arms, raised his head to look at Zhang Xiaohu and chirped twice, and led the way forward.
Chirping, the little rabbit stopped under the big tree, pointing to a puddle next to the root of the tree and barking.
"This is, this is the original liquid of the Tree of Life?"
Xiang'er came back to her senses, squatted down, reached out and dipped a little in the puddle and sniffed it under her nose, a little incredulous.
The original solution is actually the sap of the tree of life, and it needs to be opened in the tree of life, collected drop by drop, and not much can be collected each time, so the original solution of the tree of life is so precious, but this puddle is almost a meter in size, although I don't know how deep it is, but this has shocked Xiang'er.
Zhang Xiaohu tasted a little, as soon as he entered, he felt that his whole body was trembling, there was a cloud and mist floating in the crystal space, and the phantom was breathing heavily, just this small drop made the phantom solidify a lot.
"Good things, at least more than 100,000 years old"
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes lit up, such a big puddle, not only himself, but even Xiang'er's future cultivation did not have to worry.
It's just that there are so many stock liquids, where to put them? Zhang Xiaohu was worried.
There are a lot of storage bags, but it is not convenient to store liquids directly, there are some bottles and cans, but there are so many original liquids, even if they are all emptied, they can't be put down.
"I'll come"
Xiang'er squinted her eyes and smiled, she had never been able to help Brother Xiaohu, but she didn't expect it to come in handy today.
"Are you okay?"
Zhang Xiaohu asked suspiciously, it seems that he has not heard that Xiang'er has this ability, talisman making is good, but this is a refining weapon, not the same thing.
"Don't get in the way"
Xiang'er snorted, wrinkled her little nose dissatisfiedly, and hit her shoulder, pushing Zhang Xiaohu to the side.
Take out all kinds of materials from the storage bag, put them beside you, look up at Zhang Xiaohu and look at it attentively, Xiang'er raised her little head, looked proud, and made all kinds of preparations with her hands and feet, Zhang Xiaohu smiled awkwardly, and squeezed beside Xiang'er cheekily.
After the preparation was completed, Xiang'er put away her smug expression, and the whole person became serious, you must know that Xiang'er has learned a lot in the Jiuhua School, but they are all primary refining weapons, like this kind of mustard seed items, Xiang'er has only seen it in the library in Zhongzhou, and this is the first time to refine.
Carefully controlling the Danhuo, various materials continued to melt and deform, and finally formed a white jade bottle-like thing in Xiang'er's hand.
The jade bottle hung in the air, and Xiang'er kept pinching the law and punching it into the jade bottle one by one.
The jade bottle, which was more than a foot long, slowly became smaller after the law was entered, and finally became a small jade bottle that was only an inch.
"It's done, Brother Little Tiger"
Xiang'er offered treasure and held the jade bottle and dangled it in front of Zhang Xiaohu.
"That's amazing, Xiang'er"
Zhang Xiaohu stretched out his thumb and praised sincerely, and helped Xiang'er wipe the sweat on his forehead.
"Hee-hee, Brother Little Tiger, try it"
Xiang'er was very happy, her little face flushed, and she had long forgotten the distrust of the first Zhang Xiaohu.
Zhang Xiaohu tried to input his strength into the jade bottle, and a thin stream of water flew out of the puddle and threw it directly into the jade bottle.
As the strength increased, the water flow became larger and larger, but when it reached the mouth of the small jade bottle, it became extremely small, and after a while, the entire pit of water was sucked clean.
"Really, really, it's amazing"
Zhang Xiaohu exclaimed, playing with the small jade bottle in his hand, he couldn't put it down, he just sucked so much of the original liquid into it, but the weight of this jade bottle was not much, and it seemed that it was far from being full.
Xiang'er squinted her eyes, her eight teeth were exposed, and she stopped nodding her head in agreement with Zhang Xiaohu's praise, not modest at all.
By the time the two of them came out of the Grand Canyon again, it was already starlight.
The little rabbit fell asleep in Xiang'er's arms, and it had just drunk a few more sips of the original solution, at this time it looked drunk, its white hair revealed the pink color inside, and its whole body curled up into a ball, blowing saliva bubbles from time to time.
The little steward was so anxious that after the battleship stopped shelling, he sent all the mechs to look for it.
You must know that everything he does comes from the support of these two, and it doesn't matter if he gains a firm foothold in the future, but now he suddenly has no backer, and he is in danger of stepping down at any time.
Fortunately, they didn't wait too long, and before the sky dawned, the two returned to the Star Lord's Mansion.
The little steward stepped forward to express his sincerity, and after receiving Xiang'er's praise, he rushed out to deal with things as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, as if he didn't know fatigue.
The backer is back, and the position is stable, but there are many, many things to come.
Comfort the wounded, tidy up the grounds, and discuss with everyone how to prevent the arrival of the next fleet.
Amidst the noisy controversy of everyone, the little steward propped his chin and pondered whether he could talk to the alliance and replace the star lord with a legitimate replacement for the Fang family.
Glancing at the direction of the Star Lord's Mansion from afar, the thought of the little steward became more and more unstoppable.
There were two monks standing behind him, and from the information he had, even the most powerful monks in the alliance didn't seem to be so stakesome.
How do you know if you don't give it a try, the little steward finally made up his mind, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter much anyway, but if it does, maybe he will really become the new star lord of Andromeda.
As far as these two are concerned, they don't have the slightest intention of having anything to do with the star master, and the only requirement is the scanning equipment.
Well, you should get their consent, and I think they should agree, after all, if you succeed, you are much more likely to get the equipment.
......
The battleship staggered to a halt in the dock, the hatch opened, and Fang Yuntian took the lead and walked out, followed by a large group of senior commanders.
The temptation along the way was very successful, except for a few diehards, and before he could speak, the rest offered to flee the alliance.
After all, it is his own lineage, and most of the officers here were brought up by him, besides, such a big loss, it is not that Fang Yuntian can bear it alone, if he does not escape from the alliance, he doesn't know how many people will be cleaned up in the end.
Looking back at the tattered battleship behind him, Fang Yuntian had a gloomy face and was silent for a long time before walking towards the base.
"What's going on at base these days?"
"Report to the Commander, everything is fine"
Several officers who stayed behind talked about all kinds of trivial things all the way, and at the same time took out a large stack of documents for Fang Yuntian to sign.
After leaving for more than two months, many things could not be handled without his signature, which had been squeezed for a long time, and it would be a big trouble if he didn't sign again, and the officer pretended not to see the fatigue of the commander and handed over the documents vigorously.
Fang Yuntian, who was signing documents while walking, had just walked into the conference room, suddenly stopped, was stunned for a moment, and wanted to walk out.
"What, you can still go?"
