Chapter 8: Ancient Trees
Several people shuttled through the jungle, but they were never able to find the valley that Ye Hao said, and everything seemed to confirm the strangeness of this valley.
The fat man wiped the sweat from his head, and said breathlessly: "Boss Ye, think about it, is this the direction?" We have been looking for a whole morning, let alone a valley, and we haven't even seen a deep hole." ”
Ye Hao frowned: "That's right, I chased the stone monkey here last night, you see, there are still traces on this bark that I threw stones yesterday, it should be near here...... How could I not find it......"
Lin Long and Lin Hu walked in the front, each of them holding a woodcutter in their hands, and when they encountered a dense forest, they cut off the thorns in front of them to open the way for everyone. And every time you walk a section, you will tie a red thread prepared in advance to the branch to make a mark. These are all necessary things for Orion to hunt, and as the son of Orion, it is naturally easy to do.
Lin Hu also stopped at this time, turned to Ye Hao and said, "Boss Ye, it seems that something is wrong, we have made marks in many places, but now it seems that we have walked back again...... This forest is a little weird. ”
Lin Long in front also responded: "Xiaohu is right, I feel this way too." ”
Lin Wanqing's eyes lit up, and she said to Ye Hao: "Brother Hao, otherwise, let's not go together, let's look for it separately, maybe it will be easier to find, if anyone finds it, we will use our usual whistle to inform everyone, what do you think?"
"Well, that's the only way, let's scatter and look for it, Wanqing, you bring the beans, don't let him run blindly. Don't spread too far away, because if it's too far, we'll probably not hear the whistle. ”
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then scattered in different directions.
Ye Hao identified the direction and looked in the direction of the east.
I didn't know how long I walked, but I still didn't find anything, and I didn't hear the whistles of several other people, Ye Hao's heart was even more puzzled.
He didn't give up, but continued to look ahead. After walking out of a distance again, he suddenly saw a small piece of gray cloth hanging on the branch of a tree, Ye Hao recalled that the clothes worn by the stone monkey last night should be a gray cloth clothes, if this is the clothing that the stone monkey was scraped off by the branches when he jumped in the forest, then this place should be very close to that valley.
He climbed to the top of the tree, and looked around, but what he could see was still a lush forest, and he could not see the valley at all, but not far ahead, he could vaguely see a large tree, incomparably thick and tall, with lush foliage, standing there like a hill.
This tree was so different that Ye Hao felt a little incredible when he saw this tree.
"The tree in the same woods is much thicker than the others...... Isn't it growing in a certain period? Or is it absorbing more of the essence of the sun and the moon? It's incredible, but when I think about it, isn't this tree so tall that it's a good place to look? As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you look.
With doubts, Ye Hao searched all the way in the direction of the giant tree, and finally came to the bottom of the tree, he looked up and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, "God, this is ...... Is this a tree?"
But around the tree, there were layers of thin mist, curling up along the trunk, like a white snake coiling on the trunk.
This tree is very tall, so high that you can't see the crown for a long time, Ye Hao sighed that there would be such a giant tree in this kind of place, and at the same time suppressed the urge to climb this tree.
He always remembered what Ye Rou had said in his heart: "Everything has characteristics." Such a strange tree, not far from that strange valley, not to mention whether there is any inevitable connection between the two, just towards the situation of this giant tree straight into the sky, do not dare to act rashly, maybe there will be some danger.
It's just that this tree is so tall that only the height of this giant tree can really look down on the whole forest, and only by climbing this tree can it be possible to find the valley and the stone monkey.
Although Ye Hao was young, he was definitely a resolute person, and he no longer hesitated when he thought about it, and began to climb the trunk of the tree, ready to climb.
But when Ye Hao's hands touched the trunk of this giant tree, he suddenly felt a cool air flow along the hands that touched the trunk, like an overwhelming momentum surging towards him, Ye Hao felt that the moment something was wrong, this majestic air flow had instantly wrapped Ye Hao's body.
Ye Hao, who was wrapped in the airflow, was numb, and there was no resistance in his whole body, he wanted to shout, but he was horrified to find that he couldn't shout at all, Ye Hao had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.
The air flow lifted Ye Hao's body and slowly pulled upward. Ye Hao felt that he had lost his strength, and flew upwards lightly, his eyes were full of horror, because he saw that not far above the trunk of the tree, a red light was emitted from the inside out, like a distinctive red pearl being inlaid in the center of the tree.
Ye Hao's body surface was covered with a white air current, which changed various postures, and gradually evolved into a white snake wrapped around Ye Hao's body. Until he reached the place of the red light, the airflow no longer pulled Ye Hao up, but quickly crashed into the red light.
Although Ye Hao couldn't move his body and couldn't make a sound, his eyes could see it clearly.
He saw the air flow wrapping around him and crashing towards the red light, his heart was full of fear, if he hit him headlong, he was afraid that his head would break and bleed, and his bones and tendons would break?
He kept struggling to break free from this restraint, but in vain, until the moment when he rushed faster and faster towards the red light, Ye Hao finally used all his strength to let out a frightened scream.
The voice of "Don't ............" was miserable and desperate, resounding throughout the woods.
After yelling, Ye Hao lost his trace, as if at the same time as he crashed into the red light, his body was completely devoured, leaving only a white mist of light dispersed.
At this time, the Lin Long and Lin Hu brothers, the little fat man Lin Qingwa, as well as Lin Wanqing and Xiaodouzi, who were still looking for the valley in the woods, all heard the scream, and they immediately recognized that the voice was Ye Hao's. All the masks were nervous, and they ran as fast as they could, towards the place where the sound came from.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Hao suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a red world.
The gloom clouds and mist were scattered, the blood was dispersed, and a destructive force oppressed him.
Still unable to move and unable to speak, Ye Hao seemed to be a virtual phantom standing upright on this unknown red earth.
Ye Hao was horrified by this sudden change, bound by this unrivaled power, and even more frightened when he glanced down unintentionally, because he couldn't even see his body...... Ye Hao suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand upside down.
The ancient vast land is not full of vitality, not full of greenery, not even the beauty of the world, only the majestic power of destruction and the endless red - bloody red.
The red clouds, red mist, and red air currents in the sky were mixed together, tangled up with indescribable terrifying power, and from time to time there were a few lightning flashes, sliding towards the earth like thunderbolts. The earth cracked into a field character, and everywhere there was a dead silence.
There wasn't even a single grass on the open ground, but there was a towering ancient tree standing upright.
The ancient tree was as tall as the clouds, and its branches and foliage were shining with gold, which contrasted with the bloody red of the surroundings. The most special thing is that there is a person standing at the top of the tree at this time, this person is dressed in black and black, shrouded in a fog, unable to see his face clearly, just standing there silently, making people feel mysterious.
But seeing that this person slowly stretched out his hands, his fingers kept moving, and he said something in his mouth, and finally his hands were frozen under a complicated magic seal, and he shouted "open" to the cracked earth.
With this shout, the tangled power in the sky continued to pour into this person's body, and countless thunderbolts in the clouds rolled and merged into a ball, and thundered down towards the earth not far away, and the terrifying power and aura filled the entire heaven and earth.
The land that was bombarded instantly collapsed and collapsed, forming a huge deep pit, the area was as large as a valley, and the huge thunder that was blasted out did not dissipate, but continued to roll in this deep pit, and the red light diffused from the pit was handed over.
The blood-red light grew bigger and bigger, as if resisting the ravages of thunder, the whole earth trembled, and the whole sky trembled.
Countless red lights flowed out from the sky, the earth, and the air, converging into the deep pit, and fused with the red light in the deep pit, forming a huge blood-colored skeleton, and the skeleton opened its blood-red mouth, devouring the power of the thunder little by little.
The man shrouded in mist on the towering ancient tree changed his gestures again, constantly forming various magic seals, and a huge beast body appeared in the void behind him. With the appearance of this beast body, the golden light on this person's body was flourishing, bursts of golden light bloomed from all around his body, the magic seal in his hand pointed directly at the sky, and a lotus phantom appeared in his fingers and went straight into the sky.
The thunder continued to shake out of the sky, reflecting the whole sky blank and clear, and the thunder was entangled in one place, forming another huge thunder, this huge thunder kept changing its posture, from the lotus to the big tree, from the big tree to the mountain, from the big mountain to the vast, and finally into a stone beast surrounded by fire, roaring towards the blood-colored skeleton in the deep pit on the ground.
The blood-colored skeleton seemed to want to resist, but it was swept to pieces under the unimaginable force, only a loud roar was heard that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the blood-colored skeleton was unrecognizable, leaving only a few red rays of light that burrowed deeper into the ground, and then there was no trace.
Immediately the heavens and the earth were no longer blood-red, no longer dead and silent, no longer lifeless. Heaven and earth seemed to have regained their original appearance in an instant, the sky was so blue, the trees were so green, and the earth was so beautiful.
Ye Hao tried his best to see the man's face clearly, but there was only a ball of essence light flickering in the mist, but he was never able to see his face clearly. The man seemed very pleased with the situation before him, nodded, and disappeared without a trace in an instant with a golden light.
Ye Hao looked at the scene in front of him, shocked beyond measure, for the situation just now, even a stupid person can imagine that the towering ancient tree with golden light in front of him is the giant tree that sucked himself into, and the huge pit that collapsed by the huge thunder of the man in black is the strange valley he has been looking for......
Everything is so real, Ye Hao finally understood that this tree was actually a psychic ancient tree, the Inner Pregnancy Avenue, which had been growing here in an unknown era, and had witnessed countless brilliant humiliations and countless changes in heaven and earth. Bringing myself into this world today is also like wanting to tell myself the story of that year, recall those disputes before ancient times, and share the truth that happened between heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Ye Hao was relieved. His mind moved to see where the valley was. Unsurprisingly, the scene in front of him changed again, and Ye Hao found that he seemed to have come to the top of the ancient tree. He looked around and realized that it was his real world.
Not far from the west is the majestic and tall Jilei Mountain, and at the foot of the mountain, there are two villages on the east side, which are Linjia Village and Shijia Village. Near the southeast was the valley he was looking for, and above the valley was a seven-colored rainbow. Looking around, you can vaguely see a square castle in the northeast.
Ye Hao remembered the direction of the valley, and then his mind turned again, wanting to leave the world of this ancient tree, but he heard a low sound in his ears, and Ye Hao's state of mind also silently felt a trace of sadness from the psychic ancient tree, this psychic ancient tree seemed to be unwilling to leave Ye Hao.
"Brother Gushu, Ye Hao really has an urgent matter today, you can't stay here longer, if you have time in the future, you must come over often, you just let Ye Hao go." Although Ye Hao couldn't speak, he said so in his heart.
In the world of psychic ancient trees, Ye Hao's every thought ancient tree seemed to be able to hear.
The ancient tree seemed to agree with Ye Hao's thoughts, and let out a low roar, as if he was saying goodbye to Ye Hao. After that, a white light surrounded Ye Hao again, holding up his body, and pulling Ye Hao out of the illusory world in a single breath, and gently landed under the tree.
"Ah, it's Brother Hao, Brother Hao is fine. ”
"Boss Ye, it's Boss Ye. ”
"It's really him, oh my God, it's okay, I'm scared to death of the fat man. ”
"Brother Hao......"
Ye Hao heard the shouts in his ears, mixed with cheers that broke into laughter, Ye Hao's hanging heart finally let go, he knew that he was back in the real world.
Ye Hao heard the partners who spoke, and the person who sobbed for him was naturally Lin Wanqing's crying girl.
The fat man shouted: "Boss Ye, you are scared to death for us, we heard your voice, the screaming was so miserable, we ran over to see that there was not even a bone left, thinking that you let some beast swallow it alive." ”
Lin Hu also echoed beside him: "Yes, Boss Ye, my brother and I thought that you let the tree spirit eat it, and brandished a firewood knife to split the tree, but we couldn't get close at all, as if something invisible was in the way, and the firewood knife bounced off the top, which frightened me." ”
"That's true. Lin Long was concise and to the point.
Lin Douzi also jumped up and down happily, and muttered stupidly: "Brother Hao is not dead, Brother Hao is not dead." ”
Lin Wanqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve: "Brother Hao, it's okay if you're fine, if you let the monsters eat it, then I will definitely climb to the top of Jilei Mountain and ask those immortals to avenge you." ”
