Chapter 11: The Treasure

Zitong, who finished reading the content on the bamboo slip, couldn't help but smile bitterly, this senior is really interesting, he kept saying how great the things he left behind, but he only said it in the tree, however, this clue is not too extensive.

Although Zitong doesn't know what this tree looked like when his predecessors were alive, for now, the giant tree behind him has been found.

"Let's look for it slowly, there is hope after all, if I practice martial arts, I should be able to kill the giant python, and at that time, I can finally go out." Thinking of it in his heart, Zitong was in high spirits.

Slowly walking to the side of the giant tree, Zitong followed the trunk and observed, trying in vain to find any clues, but it was obvious that the bottom of the giant tree had been captured by the demon beast, and there was basically no tree appearance, and there would be no trace of enlightening himself at all.

Looking at the big tree that was similar to the stone pillar, Zitong immediately dispelled the idea of looking for it, and with his current leg injury, he couldn't climb the giant tree at all, so he should wait until his injury was healed and then look for it carefully.

Dispelling this idea, Zitong retreated to the side of the stone platform and tried to recover from his injuries.

After two days, the wound had basically healed, but it was not possible to perform significant movements. During these two days, the hungry child cut open the bark of the giant tree and wrapped his stomach in the dripping sap, just like that, waiting for the recovery of his injuries and the return of his physical strength.

Such a day, when the fourth day came, Qiuqiu woke up, which is a happier thing for Zitong than his own escape, waking up Qiuqiu, seems to have grown up a lot, after a while, it is even more alive, as if this injury coma not only did not leave him with sequelae, but his strength has improved, looking at the ball running around, Zitong was jealous:

"This man and beast can't be compared in some ways!"

Although he thought so in his heart, Zitong was still very happy.

After Qiuqiu woke up, the python that had been quiet ushered in his miserable life, I don't know if Qiuqiu remembered that it was the big guy in front of him who woke up and remembered that he was unconscious, with his speed to the next level, the most exciting thing every day was to harass the python, although he couldn't bring harm to the python, but he was still happy.

Of course, after Qiuqiu woke up, the two of them had a problem with their diet, because Qiuqiu relied on his speed and would return to the cave every day to retrieve the saliva for the two of them to drink.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and the wound on Zitong's leg has finally healed, this is still his body that has been transformed by the saliva of life and death.

On this day, the child, who had recovered from his injuries, once again stood under the giant tree, observing the big tree.

Except for the giant tree that was grabbed by those demon beasts near the ground, and further up, the bark and trunk of Haode were preserved. Looking at this big tree, Zitong estimated that it was almost a thousand years old, and the general half-year-old tree, Zitong had seen it, and he couldn't do it at all, and even when Zitong touched the trunk, he would feel a breath of vicissitudes.

Suppressing the look of emotion and amazement, Zitong jumped and climbed up, only the part of the tree trunk below, there was no point of focus, Zitong had to take the dagger and embed it to support his body. Quickly came to the part where the growth was completed, and the bark part that was not destroyed did not need to be borrowed by the dagger at all, and the surface was full of spiraling tendons, and the deepest ravine could even be put into one of the children's feet, which was almost a suspenseless climb.

Like a gecko, Zitong clinged to the bark of the tree, carefully searching for the so-called "mark" in the mouth of his predecessors, and a little time passed, Zitong jumped down sweating profusely, looking at his disappointed expression, and he knew the result.

"Now, it's just the expectation, senior, if you don't leave the mark in that place that was destroyed by the demon beast, then I really admire my fate!" Zitong smiled bitterly after landing.

Half a day passed, Zitong checked a range of his height and height, it seems that this job cannot be completed every ten days.

In fact, it's not that Zitong is too slow, but he thinks that which mark must be very hidden, almost inch by inch, such a huge tree trunk, ten people are barely hugging, and he already feels very amazing after completing this part.

Zitong, who had just landed and was about to go back to rest, heard a hissing sound in the distance, and the corners of his mouth curled. This voice is too familiar to me, since Qiuqiu woke up, there will be four or five similar roars every day, originally at the beginning, the roar was the most powerful, but the next day, the python also realized that there was nothing to do about the little thing that provoked him, and for a while, no matter how angry Qiuqiu was, he simply buried his head in his body and resisted with scale armor.

However, the python's turtle behavior was broken by Qiuqiu after insisting for an hour, the reason is that Qiuqiu saw that it did not resist, and boldly ran to the back of the giant belly, and stabbed the contact between the iron ring that tied the giant python and the skin with his claws, and the giant python who was in pain couldn't bear it anymore, and angrily hit the ball directly, but fortunately, the ball was fast and escaped.

After that, the python didn't dare to bury his head in his body, he had to keep an eye on the little thing, so in the last few days, there was the roar of the python and the rumbling of gravel almost every day.

Zitong shook his head, originally he was still a little worried about Qiuqiu's injury, but since the speed of Qiuqiu improved, he was also relieved, and he went with them, after all, if Qiuqiu could really toss the evil python to death, it would definitely be a great joy.

Returning to the stone platform, sitting down cross-legged, a white shadow lightning came, lying in his arms, looking at this little guy, his body was still lying down because of the violent wheezing, "It seems that you make it like this, and it is not easy for yourself!" Zitong smiled and said to Qiuqiu.

I don't know if Qiuqiu understood or it was a coincidence, "Huh!", Qiuqiu jumped to the ground, stared at Zitong, and drew a cross on the ground with his claws.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing this long-lost action, Zitong is hahadaxiao at this time, the kind of daxiao who forgets everything, at this moment, Qiuqiu brings himself an absolute release of pressure, and his heart suddenly lightens up.

"Haha, yes, it's a monster we can't deal with!" Zitong said with a smile as he picked up Qiuqiu.

After Daxiao, Zitong didn't waste too much time, he was meditating and pranayama, and if he wanted to go out, he had to improve his strength, kill the evil python, and take off and go out through that high exit.

After the time of the incense stick, the child finished his breathing, and then came to the big tree again, climbed the giant tree in the same way, and expanded the search field again.

Time passed slowly, and when Zitong crawled to the other side, Zitong's eyes lit up.

Normal bark, except for brown, is gray, but in this area, children can clearly see white, so the color is not used, it is very clear.

Zitong quickly climbed over, and when he got to the place, it turned out that there were four white beast teeth embedded in it, Zitong was excited, it turned out to be so, no wonder the predecessors didn't explain what the mark was, it was really obvious, although these four teeth were not very regular, but they could also play a role in marking.

Thinking of this, Zitong decisively stabilized his body, held the dagger in his right hand, focused the internal force on his right hand, and began to dig at the teeth.

"Bang!"

Pieces of bark fell, and a moment later, Zitong had dug out four animal teeth, but there was still no trace of the treasure in his heart. The child, who was not discouraged, dug hard for about half an hour, and had already dug out a hole the size of a human head and a foot deep in the trunk, but there was still no treasure.

At this time, Zitong also realized that he might have found the wrong one, so he left here with an ugly face and began the process of continuing to search.

It was almost midnight outside, of course, the child in the cave couldn't feel it, he just knew that he had checked three areas and dug more than a dozen holes that seemed to be markers, but they were all the same result:

"Nope!"

The tired child lay on the stone platform, looking at the big tree not far away, "Have you been deceived?" Anyone who has been looking for a day, tired and half dead, but has not found anything, will have this idea.

Zitong squinted his eyes, looking at the big tree, imagining that it would be a pain in his back to continue looking for it tomorrow.

Suddenly, the lying child sat up straight suddenly, and this sudden movement disturbed the sleeping Qiuqiu next to him, but at this time, the child did not pay the slightest attention, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he stared at the big tree in front of him.

When Zitong squinted his eyes, he suddenly found that on the side of the giant tree facing him, there was a faint big smile, the kind of smile that was very simple and could be sketched with three or four strokes. After discovering this, Zitong immediately sat up straight and squinted.

Indeed, there is a not very obvious smiling face on the tree that occupies almost the entire front, probably due to the fact that the tree has changed a little bit over time, so if it is not for squinting, causing a certain visual blur effect, it is really impossible to find.

Seeing this, the child is really excited this time, according to this situation, there is a ninety percent probability that this is a treasure!

In a flash, Zitong jumped directly to the big tree, looking at the mark in front of him that had become blurred for some reason, but it was extremely clear in Zitong's eyes, "No wonder, no wonder the predecessors didn't say it clearly, it turned out to be this mark!" Zitong figured it out at this time.

Quickly crawling to the center of the mark, Zitong began to dig a hole with passion, and with his movements, there were occasionally some "knock" sounds, hearing this sound, Zitong dug harder.
