Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 41

To our shock, the tree was lush, luxuriant, and looked vibrant, out of tune with the whole forest.

And there is a layer of white hazy things around the tree, I think it is probably the seeds just now!

Yu Chengze seemed to be very interested in the giant tree, so he ran over directly. We took a look at Lao Yan and waited for his decision. After all, this tree is too weird, and we didn't know if it would be dangerous in the past...

Lao Yan stared at the giant tree for a while before nodding: "Go and have a look."

The blind man walked over first, and we gathered together and followed, but within a minute or two we were in front of the giant tree.

As we get closer, we can feel the sturdiness of the giant tree even more. It is estimated that the trunk cannot be hugged by twenty adults, and the branches spreading from the trunk are as thick as the waist of an adult.

Some of the branches extend out, and some are entwined with other branches, winding upwards.

"It really is its seed!"

Lao Yan pinched a leaf, and saw dense white spots growing on the leaf. When he blew hard, these seeds scattered away, flying lightly in the air.

We walked around the tree slowly, and we were relieved when we saw that there was no danger.

Lao Yan studied for a while and said that the withered vegetation we saw along the way should be caused by this giant tree.

"According to its momentum, it may have absorbed the water in a radius of tens of miles." Lao Yan looked up at the giant tree and sighed after a while.

I was taken aback by what he said, and murmured: This giant tree is too domineering, right?

"what!"

Just as we lamented the dominance of this giant tree, there was a sudden scream from the other end of the giant tree, which seemed to belong to Wu Da and the others.

We rushed over, and saw that the branches of the giant tree seemed to be alive, hanging up the Wu Dasan brothers, wrapping them tighter and tighter. If this posture continues, they will be strangled alive sooner or later...

Lao Yan roared, "What happened?"

While struggling, Wu Da said that he just wanted to take a closer look, but the branch suddenly moved, and they were tied up by the branch before they could react.

"hold onto!"

The blind man yelled, pulled out a sharp machete from behind and was about to climb up, but Lao Yan grabbed him: "I don't know what's going on yet, don't make trouble."

"Look here!" The poisonous snake had been observing silently, and suddenly shouted at this moment.

We looked over quickly, and saw a small pile of broken bones where he was pointing, very white.

I knelt down to pick it up to have a look, but as soon as I touched the pile of broken bones, it turned into ashes, and when I looked next to it, there were still many such ashes.

"Wood as water, meat as food..."

Lao Yan muttered something, and I hurriedly asked him what he meant?
He glanced at Wu Da and the others, and said worriedly: "Have you ever heard of 'Buying Tianlin'?"

Burial forest?
The poisonous snake and I looked at each other, and we both obviously saw bewilderment in each other's eyes, but just by hearing the name, we knew it was not a good thing.On the contrary, the blind man gasped, his expression was no longer indifferent, and he said a little anxiously why he met such a ghost thing, is it possible to watch Wu Da and the others being eaten into blood skeletons?

"Chang'an, prepare for fire! Blind man, use your blood! Viper, Ah Hei, use your knives to cut tree trunks, be careful not to get entangled!" Lao Yan quickly issued a few instructions, but did not explain what burial is. Tianlin.

I also knew that it was important to save people now, so I hurriedly took out the lighter from my bag, took some dead wood and piled it up on the spot, Lao Yan took a look and said it was not enough, let me continue to pile up.

"Lao Yan, hurry up, Xiaosan is dying!"

Wu Da roared anxiously, I looked up, and saw Wu San's face was purple from being strangled, and it seemed that there was only air in and no air out...

Wu Er on the side was not far away from Wu San, and was struggling to help Wu San tear off the branches on his body, but he was also entangled, so he couldn't exert much strength at all.

Fortunately, the poisonous snake and Ah Hei are very skilled, moving quickly among a group of branches, cutting the trunk from time to time, and every time they cut on the trunk, the giant tree shakes more violently, And the branches that entangle Wu Da and the others will loosen a little.

I was still staring at it, when I heard Lao Yan yelling: "What are you looking at, kid, hurry up and get ready!"

I was yelled at by him without making a sound, and the speed of picking up dead wood was much faster, while the blind man on the other side had already cut his wrist expressionlessly, and the blood flowed into the big porcelain vat prepared by Lao Yan as if he didn’t want money. inside.

When I piled up the dead wood to the height of half a person, Lao Yan waved his hand to indicate that it was enough, and ordered the poisonous snakes to retreat.

I saw that he took half a tank of blood and poured it directly on the dead wood, and then asked me to light the dead wood.

"Old Yan, are you trying to burn us to death?" Wu said angrily.

Lao Yan ignored it, and just told me to do it quickly. I knew he would not harm everyone, so I quickly lit the dead wood.

These dead woods do not have the slightest moisture, and the fire raged violently almost as soon as I lit it, and then I saw the blood of the blind man turn into mist in the fire, rushing towards the branches of the giant tree.

I don't know what special ingredients his blood has, the branches loosened slowly after encountering the mist, until the blood dispersed, Wu Da and the others also fell down.

Lao Yan hurriedly asked us to help them up, and then quickly retreated to a safe distance.

Wu Da and Wu Er were alright, they were just in pain from being strangled, they coughed violently for a while and then slowly recovered.It's just that Wu San's condition is not very good. Lying on the ground, he can only breathe in, but not out.

"How to do?"

Wu Da asked anxiously.

Lao Yan pressed Wu San's abdomen, then shook his head, and said with a gloomy expression: "I hurt the internal organs, I'm afraid it won't work."

Wu Da and Wu Er's complexions suddenly turned gray, and they stared at Wu San for a long time without saying a word.

What Lao Yan said was right, Wu San started coughing after lying down for a while, but he coughed and vomited blood, and he lost his life after a while, and just fell down on the side so softly.

Everyone was silent, Wu Da and Wu Er just watched, their faces were very calm, but the calmer they were, the sadder they felt.

I looked at them with sympathy, and couldn't stand the atmosphere, so I turned around and walked aside.

"Professor Yu?"

It's just that when I turned around, I saw Yu Chengze standing under the giant tree, staring at us inexplicably.

None of us noticed what he was doing when the situation was urgent just now. I thought he had retreated to a safe distance like us, but he was still under the giant tree before we arrived.

When he saw that I saw him, his expression became calm again, he nodded at me, turned around and continued on his way...

I didn't know what he meant, so I had to call out Lao Yan.

Lao Yan stared at Yu Chengze's back, and said darkly: "It must be his fault."

"What do you mean?" Blind Man asked.

Lao Yan didn't hide the truth from everyone, he told what he saw in the morning, Wu Day hit the ground with his fist, saying that he was the one who got Wu San into trouble.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lao Yan stood up slowly, looking at Yu Chengze's back, his expression fluctuated, and he added after a long time: "Follow."

"Old Yan!" Blind Man yelled.

Lao Yan glanced at him, and said calmly: "Your mission has been completed, you can go back at any time, but I must go to see the truth behind the ancient kingdom of Changye."

The blind man turned his head to ask Wu Da and the others for their opinions. What I didn't expect was that they agreed with Lao Yan's approach.

General Wu Wu Sanheng hugged him: "Let's go."

Seeing that they agreed, the blind man didn't say anything, and followed Lao Yan forward.

It was not far behind the giant tree, and after walking for half an hour, they left the forest. Wu Da found a place to bury Wu San, and then followed behind without saying a word.

Only now do I have time to ask Lao Yan what is the funeral forest?
Lao Yan glanced back at the forest, and slowly explained: "This funeral forest refers to a forest, but only one tree can survive in it, but this tree has the ability to suck the water from the other trees! As the tree ages, the more water it absorbs, the more scented its seeds will be, attracting surrounding animals ... and devouring them."

After speaking, he said with some frustration that if he had reacted earlier, maybe Wu San would not have had an accident.

I shook my head and said, "If you do mental calculations but don't care, Lao Yan, we have to pay more attention next time."

Yu Chengze is very familiar with this place, and we are afraid that we will not be able to run around with him...
