Chapter 23
The next day, early in the morning.

In the hot summer season, even though the sky is still early, there is still a bit of heat in the air.

In the north of Shanhai Village, there is an old forest.

After having breakfast at home, Ling Yi and Zhang Lei, who greeted Ling Xiaoshan and Zhang Dahe respectively, each carried an iron birch slingshot, a cloth bag of polished round stones, a sickle, flint, rope, and dry food Wait, followed by Ah Huang and Miao Miao, they stepped into this place where many adults in the village keep a respectful distance.

As soon as he entered the woodland, he saw Ah Huang having fun everywhere, with a cheerful look, Meow Miao, who usually seemed aloof, also jumped and climbed vertically in twos and threes, and climbed onto a tall branch of a big tree, overlooking it condescendingly.

Because the canopy of trees overhead blocked the increasingly hot sunlight, the temperature in the old forest was at least three to five degrees lower than outside. Ling Yi and the two who had just run to join us had a slight sweat on their foreheads. Feeling quite refreshed.

A forest-piercing wind rushed towards them, bringing Ling Yi and Zhang Lei greetings from the northern part of the Douluo Continent.

According to Ling Yi's inquiries from many sources, behind the forest, which is more than twenty miles deep, the mountains that stretch for an unknown distance seem to be connected to the "Frozen Forest" in the north of [Heaven Dou Empire].

As for the "Ultra North" further north, that is unknown.It is obviously beyond the cognitive scope of the people Ling Yi can currently contact.

Stepping into the forest, Ling Yi held a sickle in one hand and caught the stick that Miaomiao pushed down from the branch above his head with the other hand. His whole person looked solemn, loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

Even though, this is only the outermost edge of the old forest, only seven or eight meters away from the place behind which is illuminated by the sun.

In the forest with complex environment, it is right to be cautious after all.

The most unlucky guy in "The Transformation of Stars", Immortal Emperor Niyang, a dignified eighth-level Xuanxian, a powerful being in the immortal world, obviously got a great opportunity from the divine realm, but because of stepping on a poisonous insect from the divine realm , was poisoned to death.

What kind of shit is this? !

This is not only a matter of luck, but also a lack of care. As a time traveler, Ling Yi often takes this as a warning.

It can be said that a 'unlucky ghost' Immortal Emperor Niyang and a 'God Saint' Li Changshou were both regarded by Ling Yi as a beacon on the road of cultivation.

It's just that one is a negative role model and the other is a positive role model.

Holding a thumb-thick black wooden stick about 1.3 meters long in his hand, Ling Yi pushed aside the dead branches and leaves on the road from time to time, and swept away some vines and weeds that entangled the road.

This scene made Zhang Lei, who was a few steps behind, feel a little jealous.

Although, he also had a wooden stick that Meow Meow had just pushed down from a high branch of another big tree in his hand.

This one is thicker than the one in Ling Yi's hand, about the thickness of a small egg, nearly 1.5 meters long, and has an overall withered yellow color. It is not as good looking as Ling Yi's black one with a slight metallic luster.

"Ayi~"

Zhang Lei staggered Ling Yi in front of him, and beat the wooden stick in his hand towards the front obliquely. He did not forget to glance at the stick in Ling Yi's hand, and said in his mouth, "Go to the "Iron Birch" to have a look today, I also want to break one. Iron birch branches..."

He lowered his head and glanced at the withered yellow wooden stick in his hand, and saw that there were two bug eyes and a thin crack on it. A look of disgust flashed in his eyes:
"Look~" Zhang Lei raised the wooden stick in his hand towards Ling Yi: "It's only been a few days since I left it on the tree, and two eyes were eaten by insects——"

"Okay~" Ling Yi took a moment to glance at Zhang Lei's raised wooden stick, and nodded to him: "As long as there is a suitable size—"

After speaking, Zhang Lei adjusted his direction while smiling, and walked towards the location of the "iron birch tree" in the old forest.

Along the way, Ling Yi was focused and always paying attention to the goings-on around him.

Thanks to the development of the power of the mind in the past few years, in addition to the great progress in the power of the mind, Ling Yi's five senses have also been greatly developed.

As long as he pays attention to the induction, everything within a radius of tens of meters will be reflected in his mind.

However, the farther away it is, the blurrier it becomes, and the closer it is to him, the clearer it is.

For example, right now, Ling Yi can easily sense the tracks of some insects and ants crawling in the grass several meters around him, and the sound of "rustle~" is automatically simulated in his ears.

There is also the sound of high-frequency flapping of the wings when the mosquitoes and flies in the surrounding air are flying; inside the trunk, there are insects parasitic inside, sucking the sap of the big tree...

Ling Yi can visualize these scenes in his mind without having to use his eyes to see them.

This is the way of spiritual cultivation that Ling Yi imitated and faked out of the many novels he read in his previous life, which took him several years to rely on this world, as well as his own talent and aptitude. — The second stage of deep sleep!
It's a pity, just like what was introduced in that novel, in deep sleep, you can't move, you must be absolutely quiet, if you move your body a little, you will wake up
To reach the third stage of exercise and enter deep sleep, Ling Yi only has some guesses at present, but he still has no way to enter.

……

After a while, Ling and Yi arrived at their destination.

Here, it is still in the outer area of ​​the old forest, but it is also several miles deep.The surrounding trees are taller, and the sunlight transmitted through the forest is much sparser than before.

A clearing with a radius of about 30 meters suddenly appeared among the dense forests. In the center of the clearing was a small dark tree about [-] to [-] meters high.

Compared with the 20-meter-high trees all around, this dark and metallic tree does seem a bit small.

"Iron Birch Tree" is a kind of soul power plant. The specific age is unknown. Anyway, my grandfather Ling Changqing said that this tree grew here when his father, Ling Yi's great-grandfather Ling Xu, was young.

At that time, the tree was about ten meters tall. Over the years, it may not have grown even one meter in height.

As for the name "Iron Birch", how did the villagers in the remote and backward Shanhai Village know about it? The villagers themselves don't know. It seems that the older generation has already called it this way. When did it start? Now The old people who are still alive can't figure it out, and they want to look a little longer~
It’s not that no one has ever paid attention to this soul power plant. Compared with hunting the soul rings of soul beasts in the hunting forest, this "iron birch tree" that grows honestly in the ground is much safer .

But unfortunately, there is no soul master who can turn this "iron birch tree" into a soul ring in Shanhai Village.

Another one is this "Iron Birch", it's really too hard!
A few adults and laborers hacked for a long time with axes and hatchets. The blades of the knives and axes were cracked, and their arms were sore and limp, leaving only a few marks on the tree trunk.

Over the years, the villagers of Shanhai Village have only been able to pick up some naturally fallen branches and make the best use of them according to their size, length and shape.And even these fallen branches are as tough and strong as ordinary iron tools, and they are not easy to be eaten by insects or worn out.

Faced with such a tough "iron birch tree", why did Ling Yi agree so casually and help Zhang Lei break a branch?
Obviously, the life of cheating is such self-confidence!

Just like the iron birch stick in Ling Yi's hand, he climbed up the "iron birch tree" last year and took it from a branch seven or eight meters above the ground.

At that moment, at this moment.

Zhang Lei was lucky, he came here specially for this purpose today, unlike before, he came and went in a hurry every time, after a little effort, he found a branch on a branch that was similar in size and length to the stick in his hand .

I saw that Ling Yi raised his foot and kicked at the root of the tree. He was like a monkey. Using his hands and feet together, he climbed up to the middle of the "Iron Birch Tree" in the blink of an eye and arrived at the branch he had aimed at before.

He took a step forward, then sat down shortly, and straddled a third of the branch with a diameter of about fifteen centimeters.

Clamp the branch with both legs, hold on to the branch with one hand to steady yourself, and hold the sickle in the other hand. The blade of the blade is attached to the root of a branch a few feet in front of you, and you grind it carefully.

Ling Yi mobilized his mental power to sense the texture at the junction of the roots of the branches.

At a certain moment, Ling Yi's eyes were condensed slightly, and the scythe that was slightly raised in his hand "swiped" and dragged...

"laugh--"

With a slight sound, a branch made of black iron broke and fell to the ground.

"What a pity~" Ling Yi sat up straight, pressed his hand on the tree trunk under his crotch, and stood up. He shook his head silently in his heart: "Although I can learn from the idea of ​​​​cooking the cow, I can get into the space without being generous. I can do it with ease, but the forward swing of this move is too long, and now I can only split the material...'
