Chapter 226: The Tree of Heaven
It was getting brighter.
The rain ceased, and the first rays of light of the morning fell through the thick clouds in the sky and the mist wafting in the dead waters.
In the forest, there was silence everywhere, but slowly, with the glimmer of light, gradually began to make noise. In an unknown place, the first birdsong sounded. Suddenly, with the light sprinkled between the branches and leaves, the whole forest seemed to wake up from the slumber of the night, far and near, and everywhere was the sound of early morning cheers, welcoming the new day.
At this moment, in the forest, there is a mist as thin as a white veil wafting everywhere, and people walk in it, and their faces are faintly moist. Coupled with the particularly fresh air in the forest, inhaling the body really has the taste of open-mindedness.
Li Qingyun and the others woke up again, refreshed their spirits, and looked ahead after a while.
Dozens of zhang ahead, in the direction of the golden pillar of light yesterday, the fog suddenly became thicker, confused, and unreal. It's just that this mist is different from the miasma on the edge of Nesawa, the color is not gray, it is already pure white. Looking from afar, I saw the mist gently drifting in the forest, wisps and layers.
There, perhaps, is where the treasure is!
Li Qingyun stared at the fog in front of him, there were only Qingyunmen disciples around, Fa Xiang had already found the same disciple yesterday, and then he didn't delay Li Qingyun and them anymore, and parted ways.
"Let's go." Li Qingyun gave an order, and more than a dozen disciples of Qingyun Sect followed.
The sky was bright, but the feeling of walking in the fog was still dim. The fog in this part of the place is far thicker than in other places, and you can't look too far away.
As they walked through the forest, they found that in addition to the mist, although it was also a forest, it was very different from the outside. Except for the tall trees that still stand in the mist, there are few bushes and thorns in the forest outside on the ground, I wonder if it is because the fog here is too thick to see the sun.
But the most surprising thing is that the countless poisonous insects, beasts, and exotic flowers and plants that once roamed the Dead Plain Forest suddenly disappeared.
"It's such a weird place, it seems to be a forbidden area for life, and there isn't even a single bug." Zeng Shu Shudao.
"Hehe, you're afraid of bugs, and you're afraid of bugs, what do you want?" Acquaintance, Du Bishu laughed and teased.
"Be careful, there must be a demon when things go wrong." Xiao Yicai, who rarely spoke when he entered the dead Ze, said in a deep voice.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, and this walk, it was another half an hour, and the trees in the forest became thicker and thicker, until the back was almost everywhere with huge trees more than two people hugging.
At first, everyone didn't realize it, and as they walked, Xiaohuan suddenly said: "Hey, it's so strange, why are the trees here so big, I obviously remember that the ones outside are not so big?" ”
She pointed to a stout cypress tree.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, it is also strange, there are no strange trees in this fog, most of them are oaks, maples, locust trees, etc., and they are in the ordinary mountains outside the dead river, and there are many of them.
The strange variety of trees here is so huge that it is already astonishing to be half the size of them, not to mention that there are so many trees all gathered together.
What's even stranger is that the place where these giant trees are located should be full of life, but under this thick fog, not only is not a single animal in sight, but even the thorny shrubs that I occasionally saw when I first entered are gone. Even on the ground, except for the roots of the giant trees that occasionally emerge from the ground, there is only a sturdy and yellowish soil, and there is not even grass.
Under the cold mist, there was a sense of slaughter.
Everyone stopped and looked at Li Qingyun.
And Li Qingyun pondered for a long time, looked around, and saw that the huge trees were towering to the sky, straight and towering, and everyone was walking in the forest, as if they had fallen into a huge labyrinth.
"We use flying ones."
The Heavenly Punishment Sword was sacrificed, bringing Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan with him, Li Qingyun flew six feet from the ground, he did not fly out of the forest, the forest was full of fog, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction.
The crowd rose with Edgeworth, flying quickly and carefully searching the ground.
Time passed quietly, and there was still silence in the woods, only the sound of breaking the sky echoed in the forest. The trees in the woods, as Li Qingyun and them gradually deepened, the torso became more and more huge, and most of the trees that caught his eyes at this moment were already incredibly thick ancient trees that required six or seven stout men to hug them, and if you didn't want to, you could know that the trees here had a lifespan of hundreds or even thousands of years!
In a strange atmosphere that was getting thicker and thicker, Li Qingyun's figure in front of him suddenly stopped.
It's been dawn for a long time, but the fog here doesn't seem to have dissipated at all, as if this layer of fog has coexisted with this forest since ancient times.
It was in the deepest part of this forest that Li Qingyun stood in the air with Zhou Zhou Xian and Xiaohuan, standing in mid-air, looking forward.
In front of them, there was a wall towering!
Wooden walls!
The rough texture of the trees, hard and slightly cracked, suddenly protruded from the depths of the mist, and a wooden wall as high as three feet high, as strong and powerful as a dragon, lay deep in the earth.
"Fence?" Behind them, Lu Xueqi and the others looked at the wooden wall in front of them suspiciously.
Li Qingyun frowned, stepped forward to touch, only to feel a gentle and rough feeling coming from the wooden wall, he faintly thought of something in his heart, and there was surprise on his face.
"We should arrive, go."
As he spoke, he began to fly straight up the wooden wall.
The white mist gradually dispersed in front of him, and then slowly condensed behind him, and the wooden wall in front of him became taller and thicker, gradually turning into a circular shape, and the height was slowly rising.
Finally, when the height was almost six zhang, at the end of this wooden wall, Li Qingyun's body stopped.
He took a deep breath, his sharp eyes piercing through the mist, and the 'wooden wall' finally appeared before his eyes.
The massive wooden wall, at the end of the mist, blends harmoniously into a much larger object.
In the sky, suddenly a ray of sunlight shone through the mist, and then disappeared again, obscured by the mist.
"Is this a tree root?"
Exclamations came from the mouth of the small ring.
Zhou Zhou Xian couldn't help but shake his head, and said: "The world is so big, there are no surprises, and the roots of this tree are about to become fine." ”
Behind them, Lu Xueqi and the others also widened their eyes, and Du Bishu flew to the interface in disbelief, carefully inspected it for a long time, and said to himself: "The roots of the tree are so thick, can this tree reach the sky?" But that's weird, isn't it? ”
"What's so strange?" Li Qingyun asked curiously.
Du Bishu looked at everyone and pointed to the thick and strong tree that could not be seen: "According to the scope of this trunk, this tree must be extremely tall and has the appearance of reaching to the sky, but have we seen any giant trees in our previous searches?" ”
No one could answer this question, Li Qingyun smiled and said, "Let's go up and take a look, won't we know what's going on?" ”
The Heavenly Punishment Sword bloomed with dazzling thunder light, and galloped up with Zhou Zhou Immortal and Xiaohuan.
The wind was blowing, and it was a little sharp because of its speed. In this mist, it is a bit like the situation in the wall of miasma when he first entered the inner ze, but after all, it is different, first, there is no poisonous gas, and second, it can be seen farther.
It's just that this layer of fog actually condensed to an extremely high place, Li Qingyun and the others flew up along the incredible huge tree in front of them, and now they have been flying for half an hour, and this fog has not yet dissipated, making people wonder if this tree is really a tree of heaven.
