Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Ooze Tree
By midday, the team had left the outer jungle and entered the depths of the sea.
Nearby, the sharp iron grass gradually decreased, and the gray-white trees with withered and twisted trees began to dominate everyone's view.
These trees are very peculiar. The large trees are more than one meter in diameter, while the small trees have no chance to bud at all, and they die in the shade of the greenery and become rotten wood.
The mature trees looked twisted and shriveled, stretching their branches into the air with all their might, like a dying sick man crawling to the last bit of sun.
The branches of the trees in the high places are entangled and tilted with each other, like a layer of impermeable dark green umbrellas, competing for sunlight and firmly blocking the light.
The people who entered the woods were like going from day to night.
There was cold and silence all around.
The soldiers of the Marine Corps already clearly felt that the situation had begun to deteriorate.
The temperature becomes lower due to the dimming of the light. Zhang Wei had a whim, tried to turn down the thermal imager to check, and made a major discovery.
"Hey! You guys! ”
Zhang Wei hurriedly informed the others: "Imager, open it and take a look." ”
Marines pulled out their imagers to look around.
In the imager, you can see some large trees in a strange state. These trees are scattered and shaped exactly like other trees, but the problem is:
Exudes high temperatures.
In this forest, every few kilometers, there are one or two trees that exude high temperatures.
These unusual trees are especially conspicuous in the thermal imager.
"Wori, it's disgusting...... There's something wriggling in this tree...... It seems dangerous, so don't go near it yet. ”
Wu Di ordered the soldiers not to move, and then found Fan Ji: "Staff Officer Fan, take a look, what's going on......"
Fan Jian picked up the thermal image and looked at it, immediately raised his head, and asked with a surprised face: "Master!" This ...... you gave me What kind of artifact is this? ”
"A thermal imager, you can see objects that emit high temperatures."
Fan Yu was surprised, then looked at the people in Lingxiao Pavilion around him, and said to Wu Di carefully: "This is [Yan Flowing Pulp]"
Wu Di was incomprehensible: "Rock ...... Slurry? ”
"Shh......h Don't make a statement. Fan Yu lowered his voice: "Elixir, this is the high-level elixir of Zhuji Dan, the refining material of Spring and Autumn Dan......"
[Tsukidan] This kind of elixir is actually not worthy of its name. Its effect is to increase the cultivation progress of 100 days, and only in the most ideal situation will people reach the foundation building period.
And the medicinal effect of [Spring and Autumn Pill] is a real Spring and Autumn Pill. Increases the progress of cultivation by one year at a time, and the effect is very stable!
When Wu Di heard that it was Zhujidan's superior substitute, he was silent for a moment, and reminded Hu Xiaokai with gestures: Let the others not be quiet.
Hu Xiaokai nodded and gestured to the others: Everyone! Be quiet!
Warriors: Understood!
The people of Ling Xiao Pavilion only saw the group of people behind them scribbling, completely unaware that the fighters were on an encrypted call.
Zhang Peng: "Senior Brother He, look at the people in the back, are they crazy?" ”
"Leave them alone, bunch of trash." Crane Island stopped and came to the front of the team: "[Green Jungle] has arrived, stop here and collect sap!" ”
The people of Lingxiao Pavilion scattered one after another, except for the Jindan period monk who was in charge of guarding, the other medicine boys all took out short knives and cut through the nearby whitebark trees.
The nutrients absorbed by these trees can be poisonous, and the sap that flows from the bark is actually black. It slowly falls on the white bark and looks very dirty.
Wu Di asked Fan Ji in a low voice: "Can this thing practice the Spring and Autumn Pill?" ”
Fan Jian shook his head: "The white ape sap is fiercely poisonous, this thing can only be used to make poison, and there is no way to use it in medicine." The Ooze Tree just likes to hide in the middle of this poisonous tree to avoid being discovered and gnawed by spirit beasts. ”
The land is barren, but the aura is abundant, and the creatures are strange and abnormal, but they are full of spirituality. Exuding resilience to survive everywhere, even a tree knows how to burrow into the poison to ensure survival.
"Actually, the people of Lingxiao Pavilion are also looking for the Ootar Tree, so we'd better not act with them." Fan Jian suggested in a low voice.
Of course, this Wu Di knows that they are outnumbered, even if you say that you want to divide them equally, they will not agree.
It's better to swallow it quietly, at least not to turn around.
Wu Di came to the back of Ling Zhiyu: "Team Leader Ling, I also led people to search for the medicinal materials of Zhuji Dan, there should be a lot of Zizhi around here." ”
Ling Zhiyu nodded: "Okay, the spirit beasts in the green dense forest, even if they are Jindan stage cultivators, it is difficult to deal with." Be careful not to get too far away from us. ”
Xu Xianchun also advised: "Master, ...... Come back early, I'll be waiting for you here. ”
Bursting her head, Wu Di teased: "You take care of yourself, big man." ”
Xu Xianchun said aggrievedly: "Oh......"
"This ......" Looking at this scene, Ling Zhiyu fell into deep contemplation:
"Could it be?"
It was love at first sight???
Ling Zhiyu didn't ask, because the positioning of love at first sight on the rivers and lakes is probably similar to Santa Claus.
In public, I believe that love at first sight is as shameful as my belief in Santa Claus.
…………
After Wu Di returned to the army, he immediately led people away from the people of Lingxiao Pavilion.
Following the instructions of the thermal imager, the troops first found the nearest flowberry tree.
This tree is exactly the same as the white ape tree next to it, from the roots to the leaves, it is almost a replica, and it is hard to believe that this is a tree of two varieties.
The soldiers scattered their guards, while Hu Xiaokai, Wu Di, Fan Wei, and Zhang Wei gathered next to the tree.
"It's really this tree." Wu Di checked it with an imager: "It looks like it's forty or fifty degrees, and it's warm to the touch." ”
"What now? Chop? Hu Xiaokai asked.
Zhang Wei was speechless: "Lao Hu, you have a little common sense, how do you catch the sap after cutting it?" ”
Fan Jian held a knife in his mouth and patted around the tree, as if he was holding a needle and looking for an old doctor in a vein.
Then he found the right place, and the horizontal and vertical knives were clean and neat, and a embedded "T" scar was directly cut.
The hot golden sap flowed out at once, and it surged one by one, like an animal whose arteries had been cut.
Fan Ji looked at Wu Di: "Master, take it now." ”
Wu Di unscrewed his kettle, drained the water inside, and used it to catch the sap.
Through the outer wall of the kettle, you can feel that the sap is slightly hot.
About a third of the way through the pot, the flow of the sap began to weaken.
Fan Yu stopped: "At this time, you can't pick it up anymore, and you can't catch it much if it flows down, and this tree will die." We don't have to snatch the tree from anyone, so don't kill it. ”
If anyone is fighting, it is estimated that it will drain the sap directly. But if no one is robbing, try to be sustainable.
Fan Yu picked up a wet ball of mud and slapped it on the wound of the tree. Since he was very skilled in cutting trees, the wound was slightly blocked, and the sap immediately stopped gushing.
"In this way, the tree will still live. Come back this winter, and you can pick up a small half pot. Fan Jian patted the trunk: "Offended." ”
Fan Ji left a mark on the tree next to the tree so that he could come back next time, and then the team moved on to the next Yanliu Pulp Tree.
