Chapter 18: The Giant Tree

Jiang Jianqiu and the others shuttled through this dense giant forest, leading from under the towering giant trees. The thick trunks of the trees kept backing away from the crowd, and he suddenly felt like the tiny ants on the ground, looking up at the tall trees around them.

The trees in this grove are so tall that it would take seven or eight adults to hug any one tree. Straight tree trunks soar into the sky, supporting a dark green canopy at the top of the sky. The canopy was so high that it was impossible to see the leaves on the canopy, and only the dark green clumps could be seen on the very high sky.

"I'm afraid these trees are already thousands of years old!" Mo Danfeng on the side was also a little dumbfounded.

Jiang Jianqiu rubbed his nose and quipped: "No matter how old you are, it's just a piece of wood, and the wooden head is still a wooden head after a thousand years." ”

As soon as Jiang Jianqiu's words fell, a series of rustling sounds suddenly sounded in the surrounding woods, and it seemed that there were countless reptiles in the grass that kept swimming. The sunlight shone through the canopy above, and the light and shadow in the trees flickered and dimmed, and a faint humming sound sounded in the depths of the trees in the distance, and it seemed that the air currents around them had become frenzied.

Jiang Jianqiu was suddenly shocked, drew his sword in his hand and looked around at the depths of the woods, and his voice became a little nervous: "What's the matter, suddenly the atmosphere is not very friendly!"

Yue Mingxin, who was on the side, chuckled lightly and said softly: "Brother Jiang, it's better not to talk too much here." These ancient trees have very smart ears, and they are very ...... Stubborn. ”

Yue Mingxin almost said the four words wooden head, and after thinking about it for a while, he replaced it with the word stubbornness.

Jiang Jianqiu stuck out his tongue when he heard this, and sure enough, whether it was a person or a tree, it was not easy to serve when he was old. He hurriedly shouted loudly: "Seniors, I have offended a lot of mistakes for a while, and I am here to apologize to you." You thousand-year-old old-timers, don't be serious with me. ”

As Jiang Jianqiu's words fell, the sound of rustling in the forest dispersed like a low tide, and the light sprinkled in the sky also returned to normal, and the huge pressure that surrounded him disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, and the entire forest returned to a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Jiang Jianqiu scratched his head, stuck out his tongue and said, "These wooden brains ...... Ahem, it's really hard to mess with. But if I can't just run away, can they catch up?"

Ling Shengxue said lightly on the side: "You don't have to say a word, no one here treats you as a dumb person." This is not an ordinary wood, it should have the effect of trapping, if these trees are not happy, I am afraid that you really can't run out of this forest. ”

Jiang Jianqiu pursed his lips when he heard this, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.

At this time, Mo Danfeng spoke on the side and said: "Moon Maiden seems to know the mind of these trees very well, I have heard that there is an extremely rare physique, called psychic talent, which can communicate with birds, animals, flowers, grasses, fish and insects. Could it be that Miss Feiyue is a person with psychic talents?"

Yue Lingxin smiled lightly and said, "I can only slightly feel the fluctuation of the emotions of the grass and trees." These trees have survived for thousands of years, and their hearts are much more complex and deep than ours, and it is impossible to talk about 'knowing them very well'. I do have some talent for communicating with birds, beasts, flowers and trees, but it's not clear if it's a psychic talent. ”

Jiang Jian suddenly remembered that in Sanhuai Village that day, Yue Mingxin said that it was those trees that guided her to rescue herself, and suddenly realized: "So you can find Forget Worry and me in the layers of dense forests that day, it is really these trees that tell you! I thought you were perfunctory." ”

Yue Mingxin smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's pretty much it, the murderous aura of forgetting worries is extremely heavy, and it has a great impact on the love of that forest." I rushed there out of curiosity, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Jiang and the two of you fighting. ”

Ling Shengxue said on the side: "Let's go deeper, it's better to talk less and walk more in this kind of place!"

Everyone fell silent when Ling Shengxue said this. Jiang Jianqiuxin said that his junior sister really deserves to be the king of the cold field, as long as she opens her mouth, she will definitely be full of silence.

The moon was the first to go, and the mermaids meandered between the giant trees. After advancing a distance of about a few hundred zhang, suddenly the scenery in front of them changed, and a tall black wall stopped in front of everyone. This high wall suddenly appeared, rose from the ground, and went straight into the canopy of trees overhead, and there was no vertex in sight, as if it stretched across the whole world.

Jiang Jianqiu stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the bottom of the black giant wall was not smooth, and many thick and huge branches stretched out from the wall and penetrated into the surrounding soil, he frowned and said, "This is the end of the road, this wall looks like it can't be passed." ”

Yue Mingxin looked at the huge black wall in front of her, her eyes showed a look of shock, and she said in surprise: "Brother Jiang, this is not a wall, this is a tree!"

Jiang Jianqiu didn't react for a while, he stood in front of this huge and boundless black wall, looked left and right, shouldn't all trees be round? If this wall was a tree, wouldn't this trunk be at least a few miles in circumference?

Mo Danfeng looked at the boundless wall from behind, and asked with a somewhat blank expression: "Moon girl, you're not joking, are you?" If this is a tree, will it not grow to the zenith!"

Yue Mingxin's expression had gradually regained her calm at this time, she looked up at the top of the black giant wall, and said solemnly, "That's right, and it was this tree that summoned us here." ”

After entering this giant tree forest, everyone had already seen many towering ancient trees, but compared to the giant tree in front of them, those big trees before were no different from the grass seedlings that had just emerged on the ground. The trunk of this giant tree can no longer be seen with the naked eye, and it spreads far in both directions, the diameter of the entire trunk can no longer be measured by the naked eye, and the mottled bark is attached to the majestic trunk of the mountain in layers.

Jiang Jianqiu suddenly had a strong urge to climb up the branches of this tree, all the way to the top, to see if he could see the legendary Nine Heavens Wonderland. However, remembering what he had just encountered in the woods outside, he immediately dispelled this thought. Those thousand-year-old trees are so difficult to serve, the tree in front of me seems to have lived for tens of thousands of years, if you climb on this old monster casually, you don't know how to die.
