"Not a mountain?"

"What weird thing are you kid talking about?"

When Lindsay's reminder was heard, Qingqi was clearing the ground.

She found this statement a little inexplicable, but out of the caution and seriousness of a scholar, she still probed her perception into the ground.

"This ...... Isn't it just an ordinary mountain? ”

Qing Qi didn't notice even the slightest abnormality.

In her eyes, the mountain peaks at her feet, like the surrounding earth, have been sitting calmly on the land for thousands of years.

No matter how closely she tried to find out.

Except for the direction of the forest leylines, nothing else has been found.

Qing Qi then threw his questioning eyes at Lindsay:

"What's wrong with your [gamer] skills? I didn't feel anything wrong. ”

Lindsey immediately explained:

"Ms. Qingqi, I can explore a certain range of terrain formations."

"The mountain below isn't solid, it's filled with ...... Something like wood? ”

Lindsay replied.

At the same time, he also continues to control the [Map] skill.

At this moment, the position of him and Qing Qi is located on the edge of this mountain.

However, as the area covered by the map expanded, the reconnaissance range extended beyond the peaks, and the objects filled in the mountains disappeared.

But this situation has led to even greater problems!

Even if the reconnaissance range crosses the mountains, the green color covering the [map] still does not disappear.

Instead, it continued to stretch into the distance, with a faint arc.

It wasn't until Lindsay expanded the map to the maximum extent that it was currently acceptable, and all she could see was a seemingly endless patch of green.

“……”

Let's face it.

Lindsay was at a loss for a moment.

But soon, an exaggerated hypothesis came to his mind.

There are only two things that will be displayed on the [Map] skill, the first is the terrain itself that has been detected, and the second is the markings of various targets.

At the moment, the former does not correspond to the actual detection situation.

Then it can only be the second one.

"Boom-"

Lindsay's throat was dry, her left eyelid twitched, and the expression on her face became nervous.

Green, which means that the massive creature is an allied unit.

But judging by the area covered......

"How big is this?"

Lindsey remembered what had happened before.

If we talk about underground mycelium, it can be called a behemoth covering an area of several kilometers.

Then compare it to the target that Lindsay has detected at the moment.

The two sides are like the gap between ants and elephants!

In this world with essentia power, a life with such a huge body, I am afraid that even the power of the seven stages is not enough to describe.

“……”

"Wood underground, what's so surprising about that?"

When Lindsay was surprised in his heart, Qingqi on the side also took action.

She used her skills, and her powerful power seeped into the ground around her like a spring rain, and the soil beneath their feet began to churn.

The cold inorganic matter seems to have life.

The soil flipped and shifted, making a huge gap in front of Lindsay and Qingqi. There's even a downhill slope in a very user-friendly way for them to walk down and look around.

Whew-

At this time, a gust of night wind happened to blow through the restless woods.

At the same time, it also dispelled the dark clouds, revealing the bright moonlight in the sky, and the silver light sprinkled on this huge gap more than ten meters deep.

The brown-yellow wood buried deep in the ground was exposed to the two of them.

Both Lindsey and Qing Qi had knowledge of botany, and they could tell at a glance that it was the root of a certain plant.

But compared to normal plants.

The roots of this tree are so thick that the volume is unimaginable, and the cracks in the ground that are several meters wide are so wide that it is difficult to even show its full picture and trend!

Qingqi didn't even go down the path he had carved out.

She turned around and looked at Lindsay with an incredulous gaze:

"The mountain peaks under our feet are full of these roots?"

Lindsey nodded:

"At least in my reconnaissance range."

“……”

Qing Qi was dumbfounded.

In addition to being shocked by the sheer size of the roots, she was even more surprised by the failure of her own perception.

The essentia type of Cinnamomum is the essentia of life.

The skills are inherited from the life school of [Volcano City], and they follow the path of unification under the scholar system. This technique has developed to the depths of the world, and it is even possible to encompass everything under the same concept of life.

On the basis of this ability.

Qingqi's perception of life is extremely accurate.

But today, without Lindsay's reminder, she wouldn't even have had a chance to realize that there was such an exaggerated behemoth buried in the mountain peak under her feet!

To put it bluntly, it's just a joke about Qing Yu's ability.

The only possible explanation.

It was the life represented by this tree root that was far beyond Qingqi's realm, which caused her to be unable to perceive the existence of the other party.

Qing Qi cleared his mind and asked himself in his heart:

"This kind of thing, can the existence of the seventh stage do it?"

“……”

She had an answer right away.

- Impossible.

If the strength goes up further, it can only be the eighth stage......

The life scholar stood still, frowning.

Lindsay broke the silence at the right time:

"Lady Qingqi, what do you think of this thing?"

Out of his knowledge of the Awakened and Essentia, Qing Qi was shocked at what was meant by what was in front of him.

But Lindsay's inquiry was heard.

However, out of the instinct of a scholar, she made a more realistic theoretical analysis:

"The volume of the roots of plants often corresponds to the surface part."

"Since its roots can reach the size of a mountain, the volume on the ground is definitely ......"

Qing Qi's tone paused.

She realized what she had speculated on, and her rational reasoning contradicted the actual results.

"It can't be!"

"It's true that our exploration of the forest courtyard is not detailed enough, but it is not enough to miss such a huge life!"

People who have pioneered the world of forest gardens.

With the road that crosses the whole world as the central axis, three great cities were built.

At the same time, there are hundreds of small villages or towns, spread out around the three cities and spread out throughout the world.

There is a lot of exploration and adventure to explore.

Even if it is relatively preliminary and rough, the map of the whole world has been roughly summarized.

In the midst of so much exploration and discovery.

There is absolutely no life that is so large!

It can't be that exploring the world is also a problem, right?

All kinds of suspicions came to his mind, and Qing Qi had already clenched his hands, and even considered sending a message to Volcano City.

That's when it happened.

Lindsey asked, half reminded, half confused:

"Do you think it might have something to do with the leylines of the forest?"

“……”

"I'll give it a try."

Qing Qi closed his eyes and opened his perception to the maximum.

The result was exactly what Lindsay had speculated.

The movement of the mountain peaks grows in the direction of the leylines, and at the same time, it overlaps perfectly with the huge roots!
