Chapter 618: Giant Tree and Giant Fruit
The heavy rain was still falling, and although it soaked everyone's clothes, it did not extinguish everyone's hearts.
Leaving the Giant Palm Clan, the Black-clothed Army did not continue to follow the Thorn Clan to the west of the Stone Forest, but headed further south of the 100,000 Great Mountain.
"Commander, there will inevitably be a war between the Thorn Clan and the Giant Palm Clan where Gu Li is located, why don't we go and take a look?" The old man was running on the stone forest while looking at Yan Yin, who was riding the Ghost Wolf King with Su Yanying, and said, "We can actually take this opportunity to strangle some of the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains, lest they go outside again and disturb the peace of southern Xinjiang when they fall." β
Shaking his head, Yan Yin said, "No need, I said that I was going to disturb the 100,000 mountains, but I just hoped that I could use their power to contain Fengyun Xiao and then help General Zhennan." But now Feng Yunxiao has led the army back to southern Xinjiang, and General Zhennan's army also knows the general direction, as for the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains, let them go. β
"It's a pity. Ah Er also jumped on the stone forest and said, "If you teach the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains a hard lesson, although they can't be wiped out, they can also be obediently settled for a while." The battle between the Thorn Clan and the Giant Palm Clan must be wonderful, and it would be wonderful if we came to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits of the fisherman. β
"Ah Er, I agree with this, we just need to come to a siege after their battle to wipe them all out. Although it can't destroy the entire Giant Palm Clan, it is also a group that can exterminate the Giant Palm Clan. Hou Chi said, "This barbarian race is the same as the alien beasts, if you don't restrain them at this time, when they become stronger and stronger in the future, it will definitely be a big disaster." Otherwise, General Zhennan would not have led his army to guard the side of the 100,000 mountains all year round. β
Looking at everyone, Yan Yin shook her head and smiled, "You are wrong, although you said so, but it is not the truth. Do you think that for the people of the world, the existence of strange beasts is good or bad?"
"This must be bad!" said the old man without hesitation, "Otherwise, why do we have to deal with foreign beasts in the northern frontier, it is not because they bring not peace, but disaster." β
Smiling, Yan Yin looked at Hou Chi and said, "General Hou Chi, what about you?"
While running, Hou Chi muttered for a moment and said, "This is not good or bad, in our eyes, the alien beast is not a good kind, but in the eyes of others, the alien beast is their treasure." The fur of the beast, the flesh of the beast, the bones of the beast, etc., are all things that they make money and make a living. Because of the existence of alien beasts, there will be warriors. And the strength of the warrior is to seek space for his own survival. β
At this time, Zhang Tian also spoke, "I heard Mrs. Bang Qing say before, she said that if there are no strange beasts in the world, then there will be no warriors. Without martial artists, then we humans would not have such a large living space. It can be said that because of the alien beasts, warriors were produced, and because of warriors, human beings became stronger and stronger. The beast is not good, but it is not bad. Under normal circumstances, as long as we don't provoke them, they won't take the initiative to deal with us. β
Nodding, Yan Yin said, "Yes, that's what I want to express." Barbarians are the same as foreign beasts, since they can live in the 100,000 mountains, they must have their way of survival. Maybe in our eyes they are savages, but maybe in their eyes, why are we not savages?"
"Every race has its raison d'Γͺtre. Extermination is never the best way. Wouldn't it be better to coexist peacefully?" At this time, Su Yanying spoke, "Killing the Giant Palm Clan will only provoke their revenge, which in turn will affect the opinion of all the 100,000 barbarians in the Great Mountains towards us humans. In our eyes, the barbarians are monsters, and in their eyes we are the wicked who destroy their lives. In the end, if you kill me and I kill you, it will only get worse and worse. There are 100,000 mountains and countless barbarians. We may be able to exterminate one barbarian, but we can't kill all of them. Instead of fighting them, why not let them live their lives while we do our thing?"
"Indeed, it is best to live in peace. "We are human beings, and the barbarians are also human beings." Perhaps, this is also the reason why General Zhennan was named General Zhennan instead of General Dingnan. β
Nodding, Yan Yin said, "The best way to deter the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains is the best way, at least in the years that General Zhennan has been guarding the southern Xinjiang, there has never been an invasion of the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains." If you stop killing by killing, you will only lose money and money in the end. Our northern Xinjiang is the best example. Although I am now the Marquis of Dingbei, this fixed word was killed by 100,000 Yanjia soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Northern Xinjiang soldiers who spent decades with their lives. Although the northern Xinjiang is stable, such stability is paved with blood. β
Speaking of this, Yan Yin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Forget it, don't mention this." Let everyone speed up and get to the southernmost part of the Stone Forest as soon as possible. β
After receiving Yan Yin's order, Hou Chi and the others immediately ordered their subordinates to speed up.
In the heavy rain, a man dressed in black riding a ghost wolf rushed into the distance on the stone forest.
Three days later, the army reached the southernmost edge of the Stone Forest.
At this time, the heavy rain that had been falling for several days seemed to show some signs of easing.
The southernmost part of the stone forest is not a mountain or a swamp, but a world of white mist.
Looking at everything in front of her, Su Yanying said to Yan Yin, "According to the news from the mouth of the patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan, more than two months ago, his clansmen discovered a large army passing through the Lonetooth Swamp while hunting. At that time, the army was heading for the deepest part of the Lonetooth Swamp, that is, to the south. According to the news from the patriarch of the Giant Palm Clan, the southernmost part of the Lone Tooth Swamp is where the Giant Clan lives. β
The "Giant Clan" looked at the white world in front of him, and Yan Yin muttered, "Uncle Nangong has been guarding Southern Xinjiang for so many years, it is impossible not to know what place this is. He shouldn't be unclear about what it means to enter here. With the status of the Giant Clan as the king of the 100,000 Great Mountain Barbarian Clan, it is absolutely impossible to allow outsiders to invade. But why did he lead his army into here?"
Su Yanying said, "The white mist here seems to be the same thing as the white mist in the sword mound on Qingyun Peak, which can prevent my spiritual sense from sweeping in. This means that if we are inside today, we can only see with our own eyes. Danger will come in an unpredictable way. β
At this time, Hou Chi walked over and said, "Commander, do you think everyone is going to go in?"
Nodding, Yan Yin said, "Let's go in!" let everyone be careful, and if there is any danger, speak out in time." β
The white mist blurred everyone's vision.
However, the feeling of stepping on the thick ground made everyone feel happy.
Yan Yin let Su Yanying ride the Ghost Wolf King by himself, while he, together with Hou Chi and the others, opened the way in front.
The further you go inside, the thicker the white fog becomes, and the blurred vision becomes.
This journey is very long, and everyone seems to have walked through a long number of decades, and I don't know how long it took before the white fog in front of them gradually faded. And the line of sight gradually became clearer.
However, when everyone saw everything in front of them, they were stunned.
The giant trees were like umbrellas, and they were almost a thousand feet tall and extremely thick, holding a crown like a cloak, and bearing white fruits the size of a house.
The giant tree is very thick and very tall, even Yan Yin, who has been to the Yanyun Mountain Range, the Fengyun Mountain Range and the Broken Heaven Mountains, has never seen such a big tree or such a big fruit.
Suddenly, the huge fruit of a tree fell from the sky and smashed towards the ground.
With a loud bang, the house-sized fruit exploded and turned into a white mist that drifted around.
"Although I have seen fruit trees, I have also seen ripe fruit fall from the trees. However, I have never seen such a big tree, such a big fruit. The old man looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and said, "What kind of place is this, how can there be such a big tree and such a big fruit." β
"These white mist should have been formed after the fruits of these trees fell. Su Yanying rode the Ghost Wolf King to Yan Yin's side and said, "Everything here is really incredible. β
Nodding, Yan Yin said in a deep voice, "Tell me to go down, let everyone not act rashly, and everyone continue to move forward." β
The giant trees here are not very dense, but they are not loose either. Every ten miles, there will be a giant tree.
Some giant trees bear fruit, while others do not.
Even, Yan Yin also saw that the branches of some giant trees seemed to have been torn off by brute force, and the openings on them were dripping with drops of white sap.
However, a drop here is equivalent to a cylinder outside.
Su Yanying flew up and took some back, handed it to Yan Yin, and said, "These things contain incomparably powerful life force, and when you take a sip, you will feel energetic." β
Yan Yin tasted it, it was a little sweet and a little astringent. However, it is true that as Su Yanying said, after drinking it, his whole body was full of strength, and even the true qi in his body was a little stronger.
In line with the principle that good things cannot be missed, Yan Yin personally went to get more than ten drops of the giant tree's RU liquid, and asked Hou Chi to share them one by one for the soldiers to drink.
Even the ghost wolves tasted some of each.
The White Lady turned into a giant bird, looking for fruit on the giant tree.
Watching it swallow a white fruit the size of a house in one gulp, Hou Chi and the others were very envious.
Smiling, Yan Yin said, "You wait, I'll help you pick two to eat." β
As he spoke, Yan Yin flew up.
I found a giant tree, found a large fruit, and then found its roots to bear fruit, and violently broke the roots that looked like barrels.
Hurriedly grabbed the root of the fallen fruit, Yan Yin brought the fruit to Hou Chi and put it down, and said, "Eat it!"
However, as soon as Yan Yin's words were finished, he saw that the huge white fruit exploded, turning into a rolling white mist that enveloped everyone.
When the white mist cleared, the fruit was gone.
"Eh" Yan Yin was stunned for a moment and said, "What's going on?"
Su Yanying chuckled lightly and said, "I see, this fruit can't fall to the ground." As soon as it touches the ground, it will turn into white mist. β
Yan Yin went to pick another fruit, but this time he didn't put it on the ground, but carried the root in the air himself for Hou Chi and the others to eat.
However, this time the fruit did not burst into a white mist, but it almost shattered the anxious old man's teeth.
"Ouch...... Oh my goodness, my teeth are gone. The old man covered his mouth and kept rubbing it, and said innocently, "What kind of thing is this, it doesn't matter if you can't land, my teeth almost collapsed when I bite into this bite." β
Hou Chi and the others also tilted their heads and bit on the fruit, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't bite at all.
A ghost wolf leaped forward and slashed the fruit with its sharp claws.
This time, it was a little bit of skin.
However, the skin is broken, but the fruit is also broken.
Looking at the fruit that turned into white mist again, Hou Chi said helplessly, "Yes, this thing is not for us at all." It seems that we are not blessed with this. β
As he spoke, Hou Chi looked at the white lady who was standing on the giant tree and swallowing the fruit one by one, and sighed, "Tsk, if we also have such a big body, we will also have one mouthful." β
Hearing Hou Chi's words, Su Yanying's shadow lit up, looked at Yan Yin and said, "I understand, this fruit has to be swallowed in one bite, otherwise it will disappear." β
"Swallow it in one bite!" Yan Yin looked at the huge fruits hanging from the giant tree above, opened her mouth, and said, "I want to eat this, but I don't have that mouth." β
With a smile, Su Yanying said, "You don't have it, but you have something in your body." β
After being stunned for a moment, Yan Yin's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I can't eat it myself, but it must work." β
(I've been reading "Gulliver's Travels" recently, and if anyone who has read this book, they will know that this book is written about the kingdom of adults and the kingdom of Lilliputia.) And the Giants, I borrowed the idea of writing about the kingdom of adults in the author of "Gulliver's Travels". οΌ
