My master is invincible

Chapter 554 Collecting Birds (81)

As soon as I smelled the rancid smell, I was extremely puzzled. The thousand-year-old pine has lush branches and leaves, and there is no sign of withering. Why does the bark emit this smell?

Then Wang Chuyao saw me stunned by the tree, excitedly said: "Brother Jiu, have you thought it through?"

I turned my head and glanced at her without saying a word. I hugged the thousand-year-old pine with my four limbs, kicked my feet, and slowly climbed up. It seemed like I had climbed two or three meters. My doubts became more and more serious. The heavier the tree, the weirder it is, because I found that where I was, there was a light fragrance, and there was no rancid smell at all. What is the reason for this?
As we all know, some old trees emit a kind of smell, some are the rotten smell of sewage, and some are a kind of fragrance, but this thousand-year-old pine has two kinds of smells, doesn't it?

Thinking of this, I sniffed the bark. The rancid smell before was very weak. On the contrary, the scent became stronger and stronger, and I couldn't help but take a few more breaths of the aroma.

Is my guess true?Is there something in this tree?

I pressed the bark hard, it was a bit hard, and it didn't feel sticky.

At that moment, I called out to Wang Chuyao: "Chuyao, shine the flashlight to the left."

She hummed and shone the flashlight on the left side. I saw that the tree had two colors. The color on the right side was close to brown, while the color on the left side was darker, close to dark red.

This discovery made me more and more convinced that there should be something in the tree. I knocked on the tree with my hand, and there was a solid wood sound of "dong, dong".What's going on?How could it be this kind of sound? If there is something in the tree, this position should be hollow, and the sound coming out should also be hollow.

I was stunned for a while, and then knocked on the other side again. It was also the sound of solid wood, which made me really puzzled what was going on.

In desperation, I suppressed my doubts and continued to climb up. I don't know if it was the low temperature at night or something else. The higher I climbed, the lower the temperature, which made me shiver several times.

Soon, I climbed to a position of eight or nine meters, where there were several branches as thick as an arm. The red cloth was hung on the left side, and a thick branch was underneath. I took a rough look and it should be able to bear my weight. .

So, I climbed in that direction, and seeing that I was about to reach that position, I was overjoyed. Everyone said that the thousand-year-old pine tree could not be climbed, so it would be okay to climb to this position now?

Just as I was secretly enjoying myself, there was a burst of calls from an old raven (gua), 'cut, cut, cut' several times in succession.My heart sank. There is a saying in our side that if an old bird screams, a life will be lost. Where did the old bird scream for no reason?Furthermore, the pine nut said that there were swallows on the tree, how could there be an old raven?

I froze for a moment, then looked around again, because it was far away from the ground, the light of the flashlight became weaker and weaker, and I could only vaguely see some branches. As for the bird's nest and the old raven, I didn't see it at all.

"It doesn't matter, let's pick the red cloth first." I muttered, and climbed over to the branch on the left.

Climbing to that position, I took a look. The branch was so strange, like the curved plow we used to plow the field, it was in a semicircle shape, and the red cloth was just at the bend. If you want to remove the red cloth, you must stand there.

After thinking about it, I climbed up a short distance, hugged the tree with both hands, and stepped on the branch tentatively with my feet. It was very strong and should be fine.

"Ninth brother, be careful, don't fall." Wang Chuyao shouted from the ground.

I said something to her, I got it.I also stepped on the other foot and kicked hard, but the branch did not shake. This made me completely relieved, and I slowly let go of my hand and stepped on the branch with both feet.

Frankly speaking, standing on the branch, I broke out in cold sweat. One is that there are no branches and leaves around the branch, and there is not even a place to hold hands. The other is that the branch is semicircular, and I am worried about slipping down.If it really slides down, my life is here. You must know that I am about eight or nine meters above the ground, which is two and a half floors high.

I took a step forward cautiously, the branch was well balanced and did not shake because I stepped on it, which made my tense nerves a little looser, and slowly walked towards the red cloth.

After walking about seven or eight steps, the red cloth was getting closer and closer. I saw two red ropes on top of the red cloth, one on the left and one on the left, hanging the red cloth on the branch under my feet.

"Chuyao, shine the flashlight on the red cloth." I lowered my head and called out to Wang Chuyao.

"Okay!" As she said, she shone the flashlight on the red cloth.

I took a few deep breaths to calm down the tension in my heart, and walked in that direction again.Because the red cloth was hanging on the bend, I was afraid that the place would slip, so I didn't dare to step over it hastily, so I could only squat down, sit on the branch with my feet apart, and plan to move over slowly with my buttocks, which is safer, after all, safety comes first one.

Needless to say, this method is very easy to use. Although the action is slower, it is very safe.

Soon, I moved my body to the position of the red cloth, and saw that the rope tied with the red cloth was as thick as a thumb, compared with the dragon rope tied to the coffin. I stretched out my hand and pulled the rope, it was very tight. The interface is a knot, and it will take some time to untie it.

Seeing this, I regretted for a while, I knew that if I wanted to pick the red cloth, I should have brought the dagger on Chen Tiannan's body, as long as I cut the rope, I would be able to pick the red cloth, no need to untie the rope.

I sighed, and stretched my hands towards the rope. It felt a little wet and sticky when I started it. I didn't think about it too much. I fiddled with the rope for a while, and it was terribly difficult to solve. I fell down, and I was so scared that I grabbed the rope desperately.

This time, I was in a bit of trouble. The knot of the rope was so tight that it took half a day to untie it by hand.If it was normal, it would be fine, but now the situation is different, Song Zi and the bodyguards are still waiting for my news, if I waste too much time here, I am afraid we will not be able to reach the tent before the ugly hour.

What to do?What to do?I was a little anxious, and couldn't help breaking the knot with my hands, but it was still the same, and I couldn't untie it.

I was stunned for a moment, and focused on the red cloth. This end can’t be untied, but the other end of the red cloth might be untied. No matter which end to untie, I just need to take off the red cloth.

So, I pulled the rope up and was about to untie the connection on the other end of the red cloth.

At this moment, the old raven in the sky yelled even more fiercely, 'cut, cut, cut', very stern, as if it was foreshadowing something.

"Brother Jiu, be careful on your head." Wang Chuyao screamed on the ground.
