She spread her four legs and ran briskly in front of the Quyun River. Covered with foliage, the two soon couldn't see her.

But after only half of the incense, the shadow flashed in front of him, and the white cat jumped back, meowing and pounced on Yan Saburo: "Dirty, dirty!"

"It's the jungle. "Generally speaking, seemingly empty jungles have their own ecosystems, often turning over all sorts of insects, spiders and snakes under the leaves, or by removing the mud and rocks and plant roots.

Yan Saburo hugged it and helped the cat scratch the blades of grass attached to it. One of the leaves is still densely packed with insect eggs sticking to the back.

As soon as the cat looked back and saw it, he exploded and kicked his hand hard: "Throw it away, throw it away!

Yan Saburo was speechless, she still had a lot of strange Gu worms by herself, how could she not be disgusting?

Qu Yunhe also looked around: "It's too quiet here." "The empty mountains are lonely, and there is no noise except for the wind blowing and the leaves falling, which is really different from the silence of the outside world.

There is an old bamboo standing beside it, and there is a big hole in the two sections of the exposed ground, and there are filaments left at the mouth of the hole. Yan Saburo picked up a piece of bamboo skin and probed it twice, then took it out and looked at it-

The branches are covered with big white bugs, and each one is wriggling!

These insects look like large maggots, with a spindle-like body, small eyes and black mouths, and each one is a standard round soil.

Yan Saburo said: "Good thing." ”

"Oh, it's a bamboo insect. Qu Yunhe also came over to take a look, "I have often eaten it since the front army, this thing is very fragrant when fried! But it is a little rare to be so fat and big." ”

As the name suggests, bamboo insects are moth larvae that live in bamboo. It would be good for people to have enough to eat on the journey, and if bamboo insects were found in the wild, it would be a joyful shout for food.

The cat only glanced at it, and the ten sharp claws scratched and scratched Yan Saburo's neck socket, but the voice was extremely low: "You dare to eat, I will ignore you for ten days!"

She buried her head and didn't dare to look, and of course she didn't see the curvature of the corners of Yan Saburo's mouth.

He threw the bamboo skin and the insects far away, before he stroked the back of the white cat's neck, like a baby: "Don't worry, throw it away." ”

Chitose felt his arm fluttering, then turned his head, and said angrily: "Have you played enough, go faster!"

Qu Yunhe was two steps behind, and he randomly pulled up the grass on the side of the road, and found at least seven or eight sandflies lying on their roots to gnaw on the sap of the trees.

Actually, it's not to blame Chitose for being disgusting, although the trees here look lush, but there are so many insects that live here.

The slope of the mountain is exceptionally gentle, and it took less than a few dozen breaths of effort for the two of them to climb to the ridge. Qu Yunhe stretched out his hand to stop the white cat: "Be careful! ”

The cat meowed to express its surprise, Yan Saburo saw the vision clearly, and subconsciously widened his eyes: "This, this is?"

What's behind the ridge?

Nothing, it's a cliff.

At this moment, Yan Saburo was standing on the edge of the cliff and saw an unbelievable scene:

The wind blew away the white clouds, and he saw that twenty zhang away, fifty zhang away, up and down, left and right, there were pieces of "valley" one after another, just like this one under his feet.

There are countless such places, interspersed and interspersed. However, they are not levitated, as large stalks connect them to a giant tree.

"We were standing on the leaves of the sara. Just when he couldn't answer, Qu Yunhe's voice came from beside him, "This is the small world of the Suluo tree, or it may be called the 'Suluo Realm'. Every leaf is a piece of land. ”

Although each leaf is not large, there are no less than 1,000 leaves here, and it is spectacular to look around.

The white cat looked up and saw a little bud in the sprout: "The leaves here grow slowly, right?"

"Well, it seems like it only grows in a year. ”

So, is the sora tree thousands of years old?

"Are there intelligent beings here?"

"That's not clear. The last time I was here, I was led by an ape. Its tribe had moved in but left soon after. "The Sora tree stays quietly in the valley, the so-called hidden trees in the forest, how can outsiders know that there is a small world hidden here? Perhaps it is precisely because of its isolation from the world that the small world can be properly preserved for a long time.

"Why?"

"This place looks quiet and beautiful, but it lacks aura. Whether it is a strange warrior or a monster, they need to draw qi into their bodies to cultivate, so they can't settle down for a long time. Qu Yunhe took Yan Saburo and Chitose to the direction of the leaf vein. For a human's size, the wide veins and branches of a tree are the bridges that lead them to all parts of the giant tree.

"However, after a hundred years, I revisited the old land, and I feel that the aura of heaven and earth is richer than the last trip, and I want to come to the growth of the small world to produce aura. ”

Passing by a land with new leaves on the way, the vegetation is sparse and pulled, either yellow or wilted, and it looks a little desolate. Qu Yunhe stopped and was about to dig a pit, but Yan Saburo waved his hand: "Don't plant here." I'm afraid that if it is planted, it is also a white race. With that, the resentful wood sword plunged into the soil and quickly turned out a small pit.

The two of them saw that the bottom of the pit was actually moist and the soil was black, which meant that the soil was well maintained, and there were many white spots the size of sesame seeds mixed in the black soil.

Qu Yunhe was taken aback: "So many insect eggs." ”

"Well, I'm afraid the whole area is full of insect eggs, no wonder the vegetation is sparse, and I am afraid that I will not give them food when I plant seeds. Yan Saburo pointed ahead, "Since you came in after a sincere exchange of conditions, let's change places." ”

They walked across several continents, and finally found a spot that seemed to have abundant soil and water and few insect infestations, so they dug a deep pit by the river and buried the seeds of the sora tree in it.

Yan Saburo also dug a pit for Chitose and put seeds by the way, and then asked, "Why does Suo Luomu have to set such conditions for entering the door?"

"I don't know, as long as it's the seed of a plant. Perhaps it's because the survival rate of the plants here is not high. ”

Chitose said: "The main reason is that this small world is not yet perfect, and living beings cannot flourish and multiply like the outside world; She paused, "The small world imagines that the big world is like the big world, everything is in order, and the rules and laws are self-contained, so I don't know how far we still have to go." Just now, I felt that there were too few kinds of creatures here. At this point, she quickly added, "I mean, except for bugs!"

Insects are a big category, but there seems to be nothing else here except bugs and bugs that eat bugs, and there is a feeling that it is almost desolate.
