Chapter 7: The Giant Tree

He ran forward again for some distance, and the huge black shadow in the distance gradually drew closer.

"Stop," the second lady shouted softly in Jiang Xiaobei's ear.

Jiang Xiaobei panted and shhh

"Have you noticed anything around you?" the second girl's tone was a little serious.

Jiang Xiaobei then turned his attention to the surroundings: "Hey, these bones are so strange, it seems that there were no places before, and they have been here."

It turns out that there are some biological bones scattered all over the ground here, and if you look closely, there are very many of them, some of them are exposed on the surface, and some of them are buried in the earth, only half of them are exposed, and there must be more completely buried in the earth.

Jiang Xiaobei touched a bone under his feet with his foot, this is a row of ribs, the gap between a single rib and a single rib is very small, and the arc of the bone is very large, it seems that it is not a human skeleton, the bone is seriously weathered, it is almost rotten, and it is shattered under Jiang Xiaobei's feet.

"Which skull do you look at, it's strange?" the second girl shook him behind her back and pointed to a skull in front of her.

It was a long, narrow skull, with a pointed skull and two knots on it, and the sunken eye sockets were distributed on both sides, and the whole skull appeared large.

"It should be the bones of some kind of beast, not human," Jiang Xiaobei said.

"Well, but maybe you don't feel it, after coming here, there is a very depressing feeling, a little uncomfortable."

"Maybe you've lost a lot of blood, it's just a hallucination, I don't even feel it" Jiang Xiaobei said and put the second girl down and let her lie on the ground.

"What are you doing, don't leave yet, what if that guy catches up".

"If he can catch up, we may have to accept our fate, but if your injuries are not dealt with, I'm afraid something will really happen."

With that, Zhang Xiaobei took out two packets of rapid coagulation blood from his jacket pocket and tore them open.

"Fortunately, I didn't put these life-saving things in my backpack, this will come in handy", rapid coagulation is a popular name, this thing is actually called Celox in English, it is a milky white granular thing, used to stop bleeding urgently, sprinkled on the wound can quickly coagulate into a blood scab to stop bleeding.

"Then don't hurry" The second girl said softly with a pale face, letting go of the hand covering the wound, and the small half of the clothes had been dyed red, even stained on Jiang Xiaobei's back, looking shocked.

"Okay, okay, don't move" Jiang Xiaobei didn't care about anything else, and gently lifted her clothes, the red blood looked particularly dazzling against the white skin.

Zhang Ye's flying sword slashed across the side of the second girl's left waist, and after Jiang Xiaobei sprinkled the medicine powder, he gently pressed the wound.

"Fortunately, it's not seriously injured, it's fine, it'll be bandaged in a while, look at your frightened face pale" Jiang Xiaobei looked at the second girl's pale face, a little distressed.

"You're so frightened that your face turns pale, you owe me a life, if I die, who will you pay back."

"At most, I'll go down to accompany you, what else do you want?" Jiang Xiaobei tried to let go of his hand, and seeing that the bleeding from the wound had basically stopped, he tore off his underwear and bandaged the wound for her.

"Hehe, even if you pay it back, do you think it's beautiful?" the second girl seemed to smile.

"Then what do you want, although we have known each other for three years, but don't fool me" Jiang Xiaobei put down her clothes after bandaging the wound and zipped her coat.

The corners of the second girl's mouth hooked up with a chuckle and she didn't answer his words again: "If you can, let's go, find a safe place to rest."

"En" Jiang Xiaobei also took care of the wound on his arm, then picked her up and continued to move forward.

As the two of them gradually approached the black shadow of the huge pillar, the true face of the huge pillar was gradually revealed.

"Don't tell me it's true, how can there be such a big tree in the world......" Jiang Xiaobei muttered.

"The flying swords are all out, and it's strange that there is a tree that is so big that it has no bounds, won't tell me that you haven't read the novel, fantasy" The second girl despised him.

Jiang Xiaobei sneered: "I really haven't read it, what is written on it?"

The second girl replied to him like this: "There are immortals, there are monsters, the point is not what is written, but that our ability to accept it is almost endless."

The huge pillar-shaped black shadow was an incomparably huge tree, with a straight trunk, and many small branches spread out in the sky, and the giant tree seemed to support the entire heaven and earth, and the body of the tree above was drowned in darkness, not knowing how high it could be.

After walking for nearly two or three hours, the two of them really approached the huge giant tree.

Jiang Xiaobei stretched out his hand to stroke the bark of the giant tree, standing under the tree felt like standing in front of a skyscraper, the roots of the giant tree were coiled, deeply planted in the soil, the bark of the giant tree was similar to a willow tree, the ravines were vertical and horizontal, forming an irregular strip from top to bottom, the furrows between the outer epidermis were very deep, and the fingers could all be stretched in, and it was extremely hard, Jiang Xiaobei did not deduct even a little bit with great effort.

"It's really a magical tree, do you know, it's very similar to the beanstalk in the story of the beanstalk in the fairy tale, I think I can climb to the sky" Jiang Xiaobei praised.

"That's just a fairy tale, but this giant tree really appears in front of us" Leaning against the root of a huge arched tree, the second girl regained some of her spirit.

"We have to find a safe place to rest" Jiang Xiaobei also sat down, and he already felt exhausted from the running just now.

"Hehe" The second girl stretched out her finger and poked Jiang Xiaobei: "I think I found a very safe place."

"Where?" Jiang Xiaobei wondered.

The second girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the sky, Jiang Xiaobei looked up, and the giant tree began to have branches dozens of meters in the air, some big and some small, I am afraid that it is not worth mentioning to the giant tree, but for people, those very huge branches are very high, and they look like they cover the sky and the sun, and those small branches are afraid that the smallest ones are as thick as a big truck.

"You said on the tree?" Jiang Xiaobei shook his head: "How is it possible, if it were only me, maybe I could still climb up, you are so seriously injured, we are looking for another place"

The second girl shook her head, "The terrain here is gentle, where can people hide, and have you noticed, I don't know what the light here emits is the same as the day, but now it is slowly darkening."

Jiang Xiaobei noticed that this was the case, and he only felt that women were indeed much more careful than men: "Is there also day and night here?"

"There is this possibility, and the light here is dim, the distance that can be observed is short, and the animal bones on the road are not unseen, if there is any danger, we can't hide."

"But I can't leave you alone," Jiang Xiaobei's expression was resolute.

The second girl laughed out loud with a "poof": "Who told you to throw me down, you dare to leave me, the ghost will not let you go, look at my belt."

Jiang Xiaobei put her down against the tree, pulled off her softshell coat, and lifted her underwear, the second girl's belt turned out to be made of thin ropes.

Jiang Xiaobei's eyes lit up: "It's amazing, do you mean that I will go up first, and then pull you up, but is this belt strong enough when it is taken apart?"

The second girl blinked: "Don't worry, it cost a lot of money to buy it from abroad, and it is forty meters to unravel, and the data says that it can support a little two tons of weight, and the wear resistance is very good, it should be more than enough."

"I hope you're not cheated...... Jiang Xiaobei reached out to untie her belt, and when the belt was pulled out, the second girl's pants naturally loosened, and Jiang Xiaobei also saw the pink color that shouldn't be seen......

The second lady reached out and grabbed the waistband of her pants, a little shy.

"Ahem, how do you unravel this thing?" Jiang Xiaobei hurriedly spoke to avoid her embarrassment.

"There's a knot at that end, and when you pull it open, it's all loose."

Jiang Xiaobei pulled the knot, and with a force, sure enough, the entire belt spread out into a small pile of ropes, and then grabbed a piece of rope with both hands and pulled it hard.

"It looks pretty sturdy, well, there's no other way, let's try"

The longer it dragged on, the more unsafe it became, Jiang Xiaobei took off his coat and put it under the thighs and waist of the second girl, and then used a rope and coat to make a simple safety sling for her.

"I'll go up first," Jiang Xiaobei said.

"Well, be careful, don't fall off, it's not good to hit me," said the second girl.

“...... Know"

Jiang Xiaobei took off his shoes to warm up, stretched out his fingers to pick between the gaps in the bark, and climbed up, because of the ravines between the bark, it was not effortless to climb, much easier than expected, but because his right arm was injured, he rested several times on the way, and it took nearly twenty minutes to finally climb on the nearest branch.

"Huh" gasped, Jiang Xiaobei leaned down and waved at the second girl, and then first tied the rope tightly to a thigh-thick branch on the branch.

"The rope is much stronger than I expected, and you are much heavier," Jiang Xiaobei gasped.

"I'm light, okay, what are you doing to say I'm heavy, I'm anxious with you." The second girl rolled her eyes.

Jiang Xiaobei stood up: "This place is too small, and it's not high enough, let's go up a little" After that, he pointed to a huge branch in the upper right.

"Well, be careful"

It took nearly half an hour again, Jiang Xiaobei was so tired that he collapsed, and finally got to this huge branch, which was about forty or fifty meters high from the ground, equivalent to a ten-story building, and the branch was thicker than the width of a football field.

After Jiang Xiaobei put away the rope, he was so tired that he lay down without scruples, because the outer clothes were used as a safety sling by the second girl, half of the underwear was torn and bandaged the wound, and the remaining half was wrapped around the hands to prevent the rope from straining the hands when the second girl came up, and he didn't know where he lost it at this time, so the whole upper body was naked.

"Phew" The second girl took a sip of him, got up and inspected, she had rested enough just now, although the whole person was still weak, but she could barely stand up and walk.

"Be careful not to fall, I don't want to pick you up down......" Jiang Xiaobei's cool words came.

"I still have self-knowledge" Seeing that he was too tired to get up, the second lady took out two chocolates from his coat pocket and threw them to him.

"Let's eat, there are only these two, is there more?"

Jiang Xiaobei caught it, in addition to rushing today, he ran away without his life, and he was also injured, his physical exertion was extremely great, and he was already very hungry, but he only peeled off the chocolate, took two bites and only ate half of it, put the whole one in his pocket and pulled the zipper, and handed the remaining half back to the second miss.

The second lady took it, sat next to Jiang Xiaobei, and gently bit the half of the chocolate without speaking, Jiang Xiaobei saw that her eyes seemed to be a little ...... crystalline.

"Hypocrisy, it's just that you're hungry, it's not that you haven't been hungry" Jiang Xiaobei glanced at her, touched the pocket of his pants, and there was a folding knife in his pocket, as well as half a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, so he lit a cigarette and smoked it.

The two of them rested and did not speak, and there seemed to be an atmosphere of uncertainty permeating them.
