Chapter 378: Quid pro quo

He reached into the snow and tugged it lightly.

Empty.

"Here it is. Yan Saburo whispered to Qu Yunhe, and the two of them carefully swept away the floating snow.

In front of me was a tree hole, one person wide, half a person high, and the shape was irregular. As Qu Yunhe said, the edges are all scorched black, and it is obvious that he has been struck by lightning.

Trees that have survived lightning strikes have become tenacious.

Qu Yunhe said in a low voice: "Go in." ”

Tsubazaburo followed him and burrowed into the hollow of the tree.

After the lightning strikes, the heart of the tree dies, but the tree still survives. Over time, the center of the tree was gradually eroded into a deep hole, almost hollowing out the middle of the trunk.

However, the opening of the tree hole is very narrow, and unless you get into it yourself, no one will expect that there is a hole inside.

It was pitch black inside, and Yan Saburo took out a few night pearls in his hand, and the glossy light was just enough to illuminate the surroundings.

The hollows were filled with snow and ice, and the smell of decay of the trees came to my face.

Yan Saburo didn't know what this tree had to do with the gold tree, so Qu Yunhe risked being caught by the guards and burrowed into a tree hole with no other exit...... "What's next?"

"Look for the fruit of the sara. Qu Yunhe's gaze wandered nearby, and his hand reached out to pick up a round bullet-shaped fruit from the canopy, its color was dark brown, and its round head was blunt, and it looked like an acorn fruit. He held it up and showed it to Yan Saburo, "It's like this." ”

They are scattered in tree hollows, but in small numbers, apparently blown in by the mountain wind. Yan Saburo swept away the ice ballast and found two.

At this time, Qu Yunhe had already climbed to the bottom of the tree hole, stretched out his hand and knocked on it.

The sound is solid.

"Ice?" Yan Saburo saw the smooth surface. It is probably because the rain once flowed down the hollow of the tree to the lowest point, where it accumulated into a puddle, and when the bitter cold of autumn and winter came, the water condensed into ice.

Qu Yunhe pressed his hand on the ice, and his palm revealed red light.

The solid ice then melts at a rate visible to the human eye.

He melted ice with real fire.

For a Shanze, the power of desire is precious, how can Qu Yunhe give it up?

The weather was dry and dry, and Qu Yunhe was also very careful in controlling the real fire, and basically melted the ice and stopped it, so as not to hurt the big tree. He did this matter himself, obviously because he was afraid that Yan Saburo would not be able to grasp the proportions.

Now, the two of them have a puddle of clear water under their feet.

Yan Saburo threw in a pearl and saw that it quickly sank to the bottom, and the water depth was about more than two feet.

"Hold the fruit in the palm of your hand. Qu Yunhe pressed the wall of the tree with his other hand, "Recite it silently in your heart like this, and promise the Sura tree that you will plant this seed in its world." ”

Yan Saburo was slightly surprised, and the white cat opened his eyes:

"Small world?"

"Yes. Qu Yunhe nodded, "This Suluo tree has a small world of its own. ”

Yan Saburo glanced at Chitose. The word "small world" is not unfamiliar to him, and the last time Chitose hid Liu Zhaoqing in the "belly" of the crocodile demon Greenskin. In essence, the belly that can accommodate living things is a small world.

"What about cats?"

"Chitose-sama must take the fruit in his own hands. Qu Yunhe looked at the white cat, "If it's an ordinary poultry, you can bring it in by people." However, having awakened the soul of the self, you must exchange conditions with the sarashu before you can enter. ”

"Spirituality" is the only criterion for judging, and the soul of a thousand years old is an asura and cannot be fooled.

Yan Saburo glanced at the white cat: "You still attach it to the cat, otherwise Qianqian will choke on water." ”

Chitose can retract into the wooden bell and be carried in by him as a "private item". But the white cat still had to be carried into the water by him. Cats are naturally afraid of water, and they are so afraid that they might as well be controlled by Chitose.

The white cat was stupid, so he had to take a tree in his mouth, stretched out his paws and scratched the big tree: "Let me in, and I will plant a tree for you." ”

"Let's go. After Qu Yunhe finished speaking, he plunged into the water.

There was a ripple on the water, and the others were gone.

Yan Saburo picked up the white cat, and the latter grabbed his shirt and meowed, his voice full of nervousness.

Chitose is not afraid of water, but cats are afraid.

"Don't be afraid. Yan Saburo took out a ball of oiled paper and tied it into an empty bulge with one hand, "Hold your breath." I can't hold it anymore, so I come here to take a breath. ”

With that, he stroked the cat's head and slowly entered the water, moving as gently as an old lady.

Yan Saburo's water quality is good, and after entering the water, he will go downstream with all his might.

Below, the darkness is bottomless. Where is it still a two-foot-deep puddle?

The bottom of the tree hole is only four feet square, and when Tsubame Saburo swims, he will touch the tree wall at first, but the further down he goes, the more spacious the space seems to become.

And then he seemed to be swimming in the endless watersβ€”

The water pressure is not the same.

At this time, he was glad that Chitose was attached to the cat, otherwise Qianqian would have rebelled at this time.

After a short swim, there was a little light ahead.

That's the exit! Yan Saburo was in high spirits and worked hard to swim there.

The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, with a "bang", he emerged from the water.

"Are you okay?" he hugged the white cat in his arms, and saw that it sneezed twice, but shook its head desperately, still looking like a dragon and a tiger, so he touched its head and looked at the surrounding environment with confidence.

They were no longer in the hollow of the tree, but floating on a small lake, three zhang away from the water's bank, and Quyun River beckoned to him on the bank: "Come up." ”

Yan Saburo swam ashore quickly, and when he was down-to-earth, he immediately raised his eyes and looked around.

It is surrounded by woodland and lush vegetation. The two of them and the cat are now located in a small valley, with an area of five or six hundred square meters at most, and there are hills on both sides. However, the mountains here are continuous, like screens, and there are no strange peaks and strange peaks. As soon as Yan Saburo looked up, he saw two rolling hills intersecting not far away, blocking all views.

What do you always think is weird?

"This small world was generated by the Sola tree itself?" Yan Saburo said as he observed, "It's not small. ”

The crocodile demon's little green-skinned belly could only fit an adult, and he was amazed at the time, not to mention that there are mountains, rivers and forests here, and it really looks like a world.

The white cat jumped out of his arms, shook from head to tail, and shook the two of them with water in their faces.

"I'm freezing!" she hates getting wet the most!

In fact, Yan Saburo noticed that it is not cold here, and even the temperature is pleasant, which is equivalent to spring and autumn in the outside world. The blue sky and white clouds overhead, and the green trees and red flowers around you.

Suddenly switching from the snowy outside world to such a place where spring flowers are blooming, Yan Saburo feels relaxed and happy.

"Come, I'll show you the whole picture. Qu Yunhe said, and climbed to a high place.

His destination was a high mountain ridge.

Entering here, the cat is reluctant to squat in the bookcase again.
